In 2004, after fifteen years in the planning, major construction was completed at the Fruitvale Transit Village. The $70 million project, led by the Unity Council/Fruitvale Development Corp., came out of a community organizing effort to transform the Fruitvale neighborhood from its declining status to one of economic vibrancy. Since the first tenants began occupying the Village, there have been a variety of challenges. This tour and discussion is an opportunity to get an insider view of lessons learned from this innovative project and future plans to secure its sustainability.

Please note these things that the Board of Supervisors and the Assembly are working on related to transit. Someone else is going to have to take on all the things that I've been doing as co-chair of the TWG because I'm taking a leave of absence to do GROW stuff until we get another co-chair for GROW or until, ideally, we bring Markl Barnes back to active involvement in the party (and back to his post as co-chair of GROW with Micheas).

We used to call this Saturday closure. I'm wondering if we can have Rosalind include a shortened version of this in this week's newsletter. Sue Dear Healthy Saturday Supporters, Thank you all so much for your emails and calls in support of our "Healthy Saturday" legislation that would make Saturdays in Golden Gate Park just as enjoyable as it is on Sundays by prohibiting vehicular traffic for a 6 month trial along JFK Drive from Kezar Drive to Transverse Drive. The trial is due to begin May 27th, 2006 and will go to November 25th, 2006. The legislation is attached for your review. We need your support at the Land Use Committee! Please come! WHEN: April 14th, 2006 TIME: 1pm PLACE: City Hall, Room 263 COMMITTEE: Land Use and Economic Development Committee WHAT: Public Comment Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions. Thank you! -Cassandra (See attached file: 00360279.DOC)(See attached file: 00360621.DOC) -------------------------------------- Cassandra Costello Legislative Assistant Supervisor Jake McGoldrick San Francisco District 1 415-554-7412 Fax 415-554-7415

Go ahead and format it and then I can send both an attachment and regular e-mail. Or you can do that -- with the link to our transpo plank. Let me know.

It's below and attached. In the attachment, there is something funny going on with the formatting that I can't figure out. Looks great. I'd be happy to make you a formatted version on letterhead as a PDF, or you can just send it as text email if they prefer that. I'd also add a footnote with a link to our transportation plank (http://sfgreens.org/transpo.pdf) in both places where you refer to the plank.
