This Month in HANC History (September 2017)
One year ago: Our September, 2016 meeting focused on Panhandle Improvements and on local ballot measures for the November, 2016 elections. The pedestrian path still had not yet been re-paved. Ann Baskerville has since been replaced as project manager for the Panhandle Improvement Project by Melinda Stockman. Although in many ways the election was a disaster, the Haight-Ashbury voted with HANC’s recommendations. September, 2016 also saw the beginning of construction on Masonic Avenue.
Five years ago: Once again, in September, 2012, we were preparing for an election. HANC was a co-sponsor of the District 5 Supervisor candidate debate. HANC advocated for Proposition C (Housing Trust Fund) and for Proposition E (Gross Receipts Business Tax), which both passed. We reported on the failure of 2010’s Sit-Lie law. We were still operating our recycling center, native plant nursery, and community garden.
