Muni is proposing cuts to nearly every line to close a $16.9 million budget gap. A number of transit advocates -- including Manish Champsee of Walk San Francisco and Susan Vaughan -- are mobilizing Muni riders to speak out at the meeting against the proposed cuts.

"See an example of San Francisco’s new approach to street planning with the redesign of Cesar Chavez Street. The project is a laboratory of public support, interagency challenges, creative funding, stormwater management and good urban design. With Andres Power, project manager for the Cesar Chavez redesign and other city staff as they share lessons learned from this work." 

"From the turn of the 20th Century through its first few decades, James and Merritt Reid designed an impressive number of San Francisco's buildings, from theaters to hotels, office towers to townhouses, bandshells to barns. With scant professional training but plenty of hustle, these Canadian brothers left their mark across the width of our city. Come discover some of their work and hear their story."

"Potrero pothole dodgers take heart: the Good Roads Riders will take on Potrero Hill in their first outing of 2010. All the nasty holes and cracks on 16th/17th, Potrero, Indiana, Minnesota, Mariposa, and Mississippi will get the treatment with spray paint and a disciplinary report to 311. Help us smooth out your daily rides. First-timers – from all over the city -- really like these rides. Maybe it’s the spray paint, our good cheer, or the drinks and lunch that follow."

"Join this bike ride to observe some of the threatened flora and fauna dwelling in the wild northwestern corner of San Francisco. Travel to a few locations and check in on a variety of imperiled birds, animals, and plants before ending at the Sports Basement in the Presidio for a kick-off party for the 2010 Endangered Species Big Year."
