Depending on comments, spots discussed at hearings then go before the SFMTA Board of Directors for approval.)<br /><br />The four spots on tomorrow's hearing agenda are:<br /><br />FF. Sanchez Street, east side, from 24 feet to 60 feet north of 30th Street for two Zipcar spots<br /><br />and <br /><br />GG. 23rd Street, north side, from 24 feet to 63 feet east of Castro Street for two City CarShare spots<br /><br />Here's a link to the agenda:<br />http://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/ph_7_18_2014_0.pdf<br /><br />The four spots that were approved by the SFMTA Board of Directors are:<br /><br />-One City CarShare spot on 23rd St, south side, from Church to 16’ west<br />-One Getaround spot on 24th St, north side, from 17’ to 37’ east of Sanchez<br />-Two City CarShare spots on San Jose Avenue, west side, from 23rd St to 34 feet northerly. <br /><br />All are part of the city's pilot program to see if more shared vehicles mean more parking for everyone. Learn more about the project and see the latest map of locations at <br /><br />http://www.sfmta.com/projects-planning/projects/car-sharing-policy-and-pilot-project<br /><br />I have more information and plan to write a story in the September issue of the Noe Valley Voice.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553737364373085236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-83131608028616927402014-07-15T16:40:11.005-07:002014-07-15T16:40:11.005-07:00Can anyone provide information about what happened...Can anyone provide information about what happened at the hearing on July 11? I assume the proposal was approved. Was there any representation from nearby homeowners included in the "vetting"?

Notice was posted, apparently for weeks, but it was pretty cryptic. "Establish tow-away no stopping except permitted car share vehicles" is not very clear unless you've been following this story in the press. I had not been following it so I had no idea what this meant without spending 20 minutes researching online. My neighbor had no idea what it meant either and my other neighbors didn't even see the "posting" (which was taped up on a nearby telephone pole in small print). When homeowners want to make zoning changes that might impact neighbors (views, etc.) to their property, notices are sent by mail to their neighbors located within a certain number of feet. When the city wants to privatize public property in front of our homes which absolutely impacts nearby homeowners (elimination of parking spots), no notices are sent by mail. Rather, cryptic notices in small print are quietly taped on telephone poles. I appreciate that this is a NIMBY issue but it is going to impact parking in our block - every single day for the next year - because many of the homes do not have garages. I think there would have been a more appropriate level of vetting if nearby homeowners had each received clear, transparent notices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-28471599464649736992014-07-12T19:45:20.848-07:002014-07-12T19:45:20.848-07:00Anon -

And this has been a well-covered story here and elsewhere. <br /><br />You may not have been able to make the meeting, but we included a contact email to make your voice heard.

Parking is a precious resource, and often City employees who don't live in the City make important decisions about parking without consulting us.<br /><br />Why don't we put the car share spots in front of your home?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-20369969843643905172014-07-11T12:35:32.341-07:002014-07-11T12:35:32.341-07:00I definitely like this.

I use Zipcar and having a car on the street, rather than in a crowded garage, will reduce my crashaphobia. Portland has cars on the streets, btw.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071216016075116485noreply@blogger.com
