We won Car Free JFK, and other recent advocacy

5/8/2022

On Apr 26, SF made permanent a car-free JFK Promenade. Urban Environmentalists joined a broad coalition of San Franciscans that helped spur legislation from the mayor, ultimately supported by 7 of 11 city supervisors after a 12 hour meeting. This is a key step, but only a first step, towards creating the complete active transportation network that will be needed to meet the city's climate action target of 80% trips on active or shared travel modes by 2030. Walk SF has a recap of more ways to celebrate in the coming weeks.


We've been busy with other advocacy and events:
  • We joined a coalition of environmental organizations on a letter drafted by the California Sierra Club calling for the California Air Resources Board to plan for accelerated climate action including a greater emphasis on housing and reduced car use.
  • We cohosted a forum with Silicon Valley at Home with State Senate district 10 candidates on housing: watch here.
  • We advocated against preserving in amber a historically exclusionary, high opportunity, transit-adjacent neighborhood in SF.
  • We joined the Sunrise San Jose and Silicon Valley Climate Strike.
