JFK Goes Car Free
If you haven’t heard, we won Car Free JFK. The Board of Supervisors voted today to approve the Mayor’s plan. This is a great first step in our fight against car dominance. We are energized to continue our fight for a permanent Great Walkway, car-free Valencia, Polk and better infrastructure for cyclists and people.
Public comment went on for over 9 hours and we would like to thank everyone that appeared in-person and called in. Nearly 69% of those who commented were in support of Car Free JFK.
The final vote went like:
Pro Car Free JFK
District 2 Catherine Stefani
District 4 Gordon Mar
District 5 Dean Preston
District 6 Matt Haney
District 7 Myrna Melgar
District 8 Rafael Mandelman
District 9 Hillary Ronen
Against Car Free JFK
District 1 Connie Chan
District 3 Aaron Peskin
District 10 Shamann Walton
District 11 Ahsha Safaí
