Board of Supervisors' Land Use and Economic Development Committee Committee Members: Sophie Maxwell, Eric Mar, David Chiu In 2007, Livable City worked with neighbors, businesses, Walk SF, and the SF Bicycle Coalition to advocate for the restoration of two-way traffic on Hayes Street between Gough and Van Ness. For decades, city traffic engineers have channeled high-speed one-way traffic through the heart of Hayes Valley's neighborhood commercial district, endangering pedestrians and harming local businesses, especially those on the south side of the street. Thanks to the work of our coalition, two-way Hayes was included in the Market & Octavia Neighborhood Plan, adopted in 2007, and a resolution calling for restored two-way traffic, along with wider sidewalks and pedestrian safety improvements, passed the Board of Supervisors unanimously in fall 2007 (see our Market & Octavia neighborhood page for more details) On Monday, the Board of Supes will get an update on the status of the Municipal Transportation Agency's restoration of Hayes Street to a two-way thoroughfare pursuant to Board of Supervisors Resolution. Come out and speak up for two-way Hayes! Livable City is working with neighbors and business to restore two-way flow and calm traffic on streets across the city www.livablecity.org
