Neighborhood report: Tenderloin reimagines its public spaces https://t.co/8bNNlmrmNR

[Hoodline @Hoodline]

The 200 block of Turk Street will be home to the Tenderloin’s newest park after a community-led initiative identified the space as a key location to provide additional outdoor play and exercise areas for residents. https://t.co/GgJ9uM2lPt

The Tenderloin is officially the first neighborhood in SF with a 20 mph speed limit & no turn on red

A huge win for a diverse, dense residential community that has fought for this, and long one of the neighborhoods where people are most likely to get hit by fast moving traffic.

We’re thrilled to work with @TLCBD, @sfmta_muni, @sfaaacd and other organizations to support local artists in SF as they transform safe streets infrastructure in their communities into works of art that represent their neighborhood. https://t.co/2MOhfFCoRo #BaysideSaturdays

I often advise urbanists to refrain from “empowering” people. Despite urban inequities, PEOPLE ARE INHERENTLY POWERFUL—including marginalized groups. Our job is to create space for people to build healthy power. How do you create space for individuals & communities in your work?

Celebrating this huge win for #Tenderloin children, families, and residents today.

@JurassicParks From what I read Surgical and multi-layer cotton are best. N95 with cloth over it would probably be uncomfortable to breathe (I find it to be)
