@SFMTA_Muni Muni going temporarily shutdown and repair the Muni tunnels due the earthquake earlier this morning (near 3AM). Enough to wake up your elders. Believe this is closest and strongest one in decades?

@Montanaisbased @sf_angry @RecParkSF @openthegreathwy Traffic Frim independently showed "traffic got worst meaning safety decreased when GHWY Closed". Car Free groups used another data that infested surged by toxic politics. @SFMTA_Muni made unnecessary changes to the avenue near to have it more unsafe. Cyclist runs stops x3 more

@AT415287548 @the_transit_guy @JoelEngardio Great Highway closure has nothing but cause hazard garbage being thrown in front lower great highway pieces of "CAR FREE" signs are being thrown in front the houses...hostile car free people. More cyclists running stop signs than cars in avenues @SFMTA_Muni @SF311

@the_transit_guy @JoelEngardio I’m referring to how many times Engardio punctuated his novel with “no height increases along Great Highway”. Methinks he doth protest too much…

Mayor Lurie and the planning department released a map proposing where San Francisco can build more housing by increasing height limits for apartment buildings. This is called upzoning and is required by state law. San Francisco’s state-mandated housing goal is 82,000 new units. If our upzoning map doesn’t add up, we risk losing local planning control and the state will decide where to put the new housing. Every California city has to submit a map to meet their state-required housing goal. It’s important to note that San Francisco’s plan: — Does NOT change existing height along the coast and Sunset Boulevard — Focuses upzoning in areas where it makes the most sense – along commercial and transit corridors (especially where there are trains — Encourages the use of all modes of transportation Read the planning department’s upzoning document (the map is on page 24): citypln-m-extnl.sfgov.org/Commissions/CP… For some, the upzoning is welcome because it means creating housing options to meet real-life needs. Young adults and families want affordable apartments that will allow them to stay in San Francisco. Seniors want the option to downsize to an apartment in a building with an elevator where they can safely age in place without leaving their neighborhood. Building multi-family housing will help grandparents remain close to their grandkids. For others, the prospect of changes to a neighborhood they’ve known for decades can cause tremendous concern. Because of the state mandate, doing nothing is not an option. San Francisco is required to upzone. The creation of this map was led by Mayor Lurie and the planning department with input from supervisors. My input was based on what I’ve heard from many Sunset residents. I’ve attended a number of town halls on housing sponsored by neighborhood groups, the planning department, and Self Help for the Elderly which is creating affordable senior housing in the Sunset. Two things I heard most were: Protect the coast and protect Sunset Boulevard. And I focused on these two concerns. The map reflects our community’s wishes: it indeed protects the coast and Sunset Boulevard. THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO EXISTING HEIGHTS ON THE STREETS ADJACENT TO THE COAST AND GREAT HIGHWAY For further protection, our city charter forbids housing development on parkland. Now that the Great Highway between Lincoln and Sloat is legally parkland under the jurisdiction of the Rec and Park Department, it is protected from any oceanfront housing. Ocean Beach is not going to become Miami Beach. Some have questioned why Self Help for the Elderly can build affordable housing for seniors near the coast at La Playa and Lincoln that is taller than existing height limits. A state law from 1979 allows several extra stories of height at the coast only for housing that is 100 percent affordable. The senior housing meets that criteria. THE EXISTING HEIGHTS ON SUNSET BOULEVARD WILL NOT CHANGE A draft of the upzoning map last year suggested allowing up to eight stories along the entire stretch of Sunset Boulevard. The current map does not upzone Sunset Boulevard. I made the case that upzoning on Sunset Boulevard was nonsensical because it has zero commercial properties. The mayor agreed with me that we should focus most upzoning along actual commercial and transit corridors. That’s why the map has height increases along Irving, Judah, Noriega, and Taraval. THIS MAP IS STILL A DRAFT It must go through a lengthy and public process at the planning department. Public comment and input will be taken. The Board of Supervisors will vote on it this fall. Our future depends on being able to keep seniors, young adults, and middle-income workers and families in San Francisco — along with welcoming newcomers who bring their talents and diversity to our city. We can do this by embracing more multi-family housing that can coexist with single-family homes and complement the westside neighborhoods we love. My housing platform: engardio.com/housing

@kattenburger @JoelEngardio In Sunset district almost 65% voted against Great Highway closure due safer access concern. What they do closed and mess with other streets nearby...

@JoelEngardio Supervisor @JoelEngardio, that public restroom building at the end of Judah has been a graffiti magnet for the entire duration of your time in office. Isn't your job to prevent graffiti and maintain city buildings, not to baselessly accuse your political opposition of vandalism?

Defacing artwork or destroying property is not how opinions are shared. And no one should have to endure verbal abuse by someone who disagrees with a policy or the outcome of a vote. Now more than ever we need civility in our politics and public discourse. Civility is needed on all sides, regardless which side feels more aggrieved. Opponents of Prop K were verbally harassed at a rally and I’ve been screamed at in person and received threats of violence. After two women gathering recall signatures saw an unwell man rip their sign, I called the recall leaders to make sure the women were OK and to let them know they have the right to gather signatures in peace. We live in a dynamic city of passionate people and there will always be disagreements. Let’s lower the temperature and practice respect and kindness. Let’s be an example to the nation of how we can keep our democracy and not lose our basic humanity.

@AT415287548 @LuigiCPA @JoelEngardio Its definitely the anti-trump/car free groups doing it in recordings. They said before vandalism is "art" on Great Highway and garbage thrown into Lower Highway in front houses during closure @SFMTA_Muni @SF311

@LuigiCPA @JoelEngardio I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone from his own camp, he’s so desperate to retain his seat…

@SFMTA_Muni @SF311 MUNI map missing from Only 48 Quintara BUS Shelter since yesterday morning. Rivera and 46th Avenue - STOP ID #16247

@SFMTA_Muni @SF311 There only 1 bus shelter in this location.18 46th Ave towards Stonestown. Should be clear for whoever going pickup

@BusRider2015 @SF311 Is this the inbound (south side of Santiago) or outbound (north side of Santiago) 18 46th Ave. Route stop?

@SFMTA_Muni @SF311 illegal mattress dumping at San Tiago and 46th Ave bus shelter overnight

@munitothemta @SFMTA_Muni You should be using a car to quickly get out of there but Muni can resume normal since there no danger anymore?

ATTN: We will be switching back all routes that provide service along the west side of the city as a precaution. Routes likely to include the 5, 7, 18, 31, 38, 38R, 48, and 58. #FMarket & 25 Treasure Island service is temp. suspended. Will update.

@SFMTA_Muni When will Muni safely suspend all Muni western part of routes due to possible tsunami such as L, N, 7, 18, 23/ 5,31,38

HeadsUp: Mun is providing free transfers for BART passengers within the city.

@MySFPUC @SF311 I think everyone who had use extra water to clean the brown yellow stuff out during these days shall be discounted at least 50 cents.

@BusRider2015 @SF311 Hi Alboa, the water quality impacts are temporary and should clear late afternoon Tuesday 12/3 and then might reappear again tomorrow, 12/4 late evening (after 10pm) when final changes are completed. You can read more on our page at sfpuc.gov/service-alerts

@SFMTA_Muni @sf311 @MySFPUC Hello SF311, there are indication of brown/yellow cold water in resdinetal area between Quintara + 47th Avneue to San Tiago + 47th Ave coming out their faucets or water on the road somewhere. Its there construction in this area

@MySFPUC @SF311 How long this Merced Manor Reservoir cleaning will last?

@BusRider2015 @SFMTA_Muni @SF311 Hello Alboa, thank you for contacting the SFPUC. If your tap water temporarily appears brown, open the cold water tap as close to your meter (the sidewalk) as possible, and let it run for 3 to 5 minutes. If it is still brown, wait one hour and repeat.

@SF311 @MySFPUC Hot Water are clear

@waileagreg @SusanDReynolds @sfbike @SFMTA_Muni Extremetly Unsafe for peds when they put a Bike Lane without proper community input from "other side" All funds used for Great Highway should also allow people whovoted against to out-opt requiring them to be funded by non-profits

@SusanDReynolds @sfbike @SFMTA_Muni Yeah, let’s prioritize .125 of the residents 🙄

Another reason to fire Tumlin and defund lobbyist group ⁦@sfbike⁩ which gets over a million bucks a year (nearly their entire budget) from ⁦@SFMTA_Muni⁩ — only 13% of residents supported the center bike lane. thevoicesf.org/sfmta-abandons…

@SFMTA_Muni Whens 30X Stockton Express returning?

@GeorgeCipparro2 @greenbergnation Yea. Great Highway does not belong to Car Free Politic Groups. It belongs to all users. Closure is unsafe and will harm businesses accessing through it. Vote data showed a large divide in D4 (worst than previous measure) also showed they did not listen to the concerns & business

@greenbergnation You remember when I was a supervisor?

Remember the outright false mailers sent to voters by the Yes on Prop K shysters? Truth now borne out, their claimed “Westside supports Prop K” is refuted easily by voter map of No votes. Not only did the West side oppose, so did the entire south of SF.

@MHurabiell @JoelEngardio The voting data showed Sunset District (and District 4) heavily opposed and Citywide heavily divided which is huge. It also showed elected officials and those people that started this closure did not listen or even find a balanced safety plan for Great Highway.

@JoelEngardio OMG Joel - You've lost the plot when you need to explain THIS much. We met & spoke. You knew that the Prop K arguments were full of inaccuracies: -park -cost -# days closed -increased travel times ALL false. K sold the public on lies.

Proposition K asked voters if San Francisco should transition a section of the Great Highway into an oceanside park. Ballots counted so far say yes. Voters citywide support closing the roadway’s middle section full time — beyond the already popular weekend closures that attract thousands of people who use the asphalt for recreation with an ocean view. Yet Prop K does not have majority support in the Sunset, which is home to this part of the Great Highway. I understand and respect the views of voters who said no to Prop K. I’ve knocked on thousands of doors the past few months to talk to Sunset residents one-on-one about the future of the Great Highway. I heard from many who were concerned about increased traffic on side streets and losing a convenient driving route. These are valid concerns. I will work with residents to ensure that they have a voice in decisions about how to keep traffic moving quickly while minimizing the impacts on neighborhood streets. The Sunset is united — including both supporters and opponents of Prop K — in wanting safe residential streets and better traffic flow. We can work on this together as the park is planned, and I’m committed to ensuring the implementation of Prop K goes as smoothly as possible for the Sunset. I heard from Sunset residents who are upset that the Great Highway’s future was determined by people who do not live on the westside. But this was unavoidable. Clarity was needed about what to do with the road. Park advocates sought a full time park space while car advocates tried to kill the weekend compromise with their own citywide ballot measure in 2022. When that failed, they continued to file unsuccessful appeals to restore 24/7 car access. There were only two ways to resolve this issue: either by the voters directly or by the 11 members of the Board of Supervisors. Either way, residents on the eastside would have a say or supervisors representing the eastside would have a say. Five supervisors put Prop K on the ballot and a majority signed the ballot argument in favor of the measure, which signals how they would have voted on this legislatively. With no scheduled elections until June 2026 and the pilot weekend closure set to expire in December 2025, the fate of the Great Highway would be in hands of supervisors absent Prop K on this November’s ballot. Rather than 11 supervisors deciding the future of our collective coast, a vote at the ballot box gave everyone a say. After all, the coast belongs to everyone. It’s important to note that the state — and Mother Nature herself — is forcing us to close the southern section of the Great Highway because it’s falling into the ocean from coastal erosion. The northern section that connects the Richmond and Sunset neighborhoods is not affected by Prop K and will remain open to cars 24/7. Before Prop K, we knew the Great Highway was losing its greatest utility as a direct connection to Daly City. With the southern section already set to close by the state coastal commission and legislated unanimously by the Board of Supervisors, all traffic will have to turn inland soon. Prop K makes it possible to create a park if traffic turns left one intersection sooner. That’s because Prop K only applies to the stretch of road between Lincoln and Sloat that bypasses the Sunset without any on/off ramps for cars. It’s also important to note that the movement to create an oceanside park is led by Sunset residents. I know many in the Sunset who voted for Prop K. Like them, I believe a park will be good for the environment, provide a boost to local businesses, and bring joy to generations of people. It’s the best choice for how to use our limited coast. I saw the additional opportunities a park could bring to the Sunset. Our merchant corridors — served by two train lines that go to the coast — would prosper from added foot traffic and new customers. Our communities would benefit from new recreational activities and gathering spaces, while ensuring access for everyone. And our open spaces would be permanently protected, allowing us to restore the environment. Yet a majority of Sunset residents voted against a full-time park. As the representative to 80,000 residents, it’s impossible for everyone to agree with my actions 100% of the time. When we disagree, it’s important to focus on solving common concerns. In listening to feedback from all Sunset residents, both pro-park and pro-highway people agree that City Hall must be more responsive to westside transportation needs. That’s why I am committed to addressing the traffic and street safety concerns of local residents. This includes improving the traffic flow on arterials like Lincoln Way and Sunset Boulevard to discourage cars from cutting through our local streets. Traffic signals at Lincoln/41st Avenue and Sloat/Skyline are already funded and scheduled to replace stop signs. Residents must have a greater say in which traffic calming measures they want in their neighborhoods, especially as the city plans for a park. Meanwhile, implementing Prop K will take time. Status quo won’t change for a while, and I look forward to working with my constituents on park and traffic improvements. I believe people will come to love a future ocean beach park — as they now love Crissy Field, JFK Drive, and the Embarcadero. All of these San Francisco gems had controversial transformations to spaces that prioritize people and community. We can have an ocean beach park and help people get to where they need to go. We can create more reliable routes to get around, without congesting our residential streets. This can be a win-win proposition.

@steakdriven @openthegreathwy It can from low courts to high court. Car free people refuse to compromise and they wanted ignore concerns from other sides. Its like putting a steel wall in middle of street without input which is illegal. The Yes K groups were well infected with politics. Not safety

@rossisd @openthegreathwy A ballot measure that never should have been on the ballot in the first place - the car-hating yuppie soydrinkers living downtown should have ZERO say in an issue affecting the people living in the Richmond and Sunset districts.

While Joel Engardio claims Prop K was a win for San Francisco, for many in the Sunset, it represents a decision imposed on us without our consent or adequate community input. A rushed, top-down process has ambushed our neighborhood, pushed onto the ballot by supervisors who bypassed genuine consultation with residents. This wasn’t about creating a park — it was a decision to close a critical road that our community relies on daily, with consequences that will worsen traffic, disrupt local streets, and affect safety in ways many citywide voters might not fully realize. We are disappointed that city leadership, including Supervisor Engardio, chose to divide our community rather than seek meaningful solutions with us. The Great Highway is essential for our Westside residents, families, and working people. And while Prop K might seem like a park plan to some, it will have real, lasting consequences for traffic, emergency access, and the day-to-day lives of those who call the Sunset home. Engardio’s comments ignore the fact that the Sunset has already felt sidelined by City Hall. Promises of traffic improvements come too late; our community has been consistently overlooked, and we have every reason to believe these concerns will continue to be minimized. We’re calling for accountability — from Joel Engardio and all city leaders — to respect our voices and work on genuine solutions that address the impacts of this measure on our neighborhood. This decision is a setback, but our fight to keep San Francisco safe, accessible, and inclusive for all neighborhoods is far from over. We will continue to advocate for policies that reflect our community's needs and ensure our voices are heard and respected. -Vin

@SFMTA_Muni 18-46th Avenue will be rerouting around that area since bunch of L Taraval trains backed up at 47th Avenue?

ATTN: IB #LTaraval delayed at the 46th & Wawona terminal due to a stalled train.
