This news just dropped: it\u2019s official. Sunset Dunes<\/a> will be back on the ballot<\/a> this November\u2014for a third freakin\u2019 time!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost unfathomable that the voters of San Francisco are going to take a radical departure from the previous two votes<\/a> and approve spending $14 million to destroy the park and allow drivers on this stretch of the \u201cGreat Highway\u201d again.<\/p>\n

But this is the reason Streetsblog must continue its work. It\u2019s our job to amplify, support, and celebrate the work of advocates as they fight for safe and livable streets where our children can walk out the front door or go for a bike ride without putting themselves in mortal danger<\/a>. We\u2019re part of a larger team. And we\u2019re making slow but steady progress<\/a>. But as the pending re-vote for Sunset Dunes<\/a> illustrates, the fight is far from over.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re looking to expand our presence in the Bay Area. First, we\u2019ve already started our first forays into video to reach a larger audience. Our very first effort, a short about the lousy transfers between BART and Muni<\/a>, got 15,000 views. The newest one, about Muni rail\u2019s retrograde bike ban<\/a>, was up to 5,000 last we checked. Those are very healthy numbers and we want to do more.<\/p>\n

We also want to hire freelancers to help cover a larger geographical footprint<\/a>, as well as someone to cover board meetings at the various agencies. That\u2019s going to take money\u2014a lot of it.<\/p>\n

However, we\u2019re starting from a healthy enough position, and we\u2019ve got the expertise, including a nationwide team of reporters and editors, to see it through. So please consider a donation<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Thanks.<\/p>\n

And now it\u2019s back to the grind\u2014covering Muni<\/a>, BART<\/a>, Caltrain<\/a>, SMART<\/a>, AC Transit<\/a>, protected bike lanes<\/a>, safer pedestrian crossings<\/a>, open streets<\/a>, the Regional Measure<\/a>, Sunset Dunes<\/a>, and safe streets for everyone throughout the Bay Area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This news just dropped: it\u2019s official.
