This month, Lisa Platt - our Transportation  & Mobility Chair and experienced San Francisco tour guide, will lead two social PHRA walks. 

On this mostly-flat 2.5-mile walk to San Francisco's beautiful waterfront, we'll enjoy lovely bay views, fresh air, and good conversation as we explore together. This walk is wholly accessible.

​After the walk, Lisa will be treating herself to a cup of Turkish tea at Telve. If you'd like, grab a drink and stay to chat. It's a great way to support a neighborhood business and get to know your fellow walkers.

Start / end location
Telve Cafe, 2163 Union Street

Join Lisa Platt, Chair of PHRA’s Transportation & Mobility Committee (and other PHRA Board Members), for an important and engaging community conversation about the future of transportation in San Francisco.

PHRA is hosting this event with the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA). It’s a great opportunity to learn about the City’s long-term transportation planning process, but also to help shape it. The discussion will cover priorities and future investments across all modes of transportation; including transit, walking, biking, and driving.

Whether you’re passionate about safer streets, reliable transit, neighborhood mobility, or simply how people move around San Francisco, your voice and perspective would be incredibly valuable. This small-group session is the perfect opportunity to be heard.

SFCTA is also collecting community feedback through a short survey, and they would welcome your input whether or not you’re able to attend the session. Find the full event announcement, additional information, and survey link here.

WalkSF's annual fundraiser, the  SF Stair Challenge, starts at the park this Saturday.  It's an annual 5-mile route around the City, starting this year at the grand stairs of Alta Plaza.  WalkSF is a nonprofit dedicated to making city streets safer for everyone who walks.  Stop by to see the action, or to participate — there's still time to sign up. 

And .... did you donate to Alta Plaza Park this year?  Have you been thinking about it?  All members and donors of $25 or more can have the latest hot item, the Alta Plaza tote (seen in the event picture).  Park volunteers will be on the plaza from 7am to 3pm Saturday with totes.   

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (CTA), in coordination with the SFMTA and the SF Planning Department, is working to develop a framework to advance planning and development of a potential new rail subway under Geary Boulevard and 19th Avenue. The CTA will host two upcoming virtual town halls to recap progress, present recent findings, and share considerations, building blocks, tradeoffs, and next steps. Register here, or read on for more information.
