Valencia Street Bikeway Improvement Workshop
2018-07-19 18:30 - 20:30 | Synergy School, 1387 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA, 94110, United States
Valencia Street is a vibrant commercial corridor with a diverse set of restaurants, shops, bars and services. Valencia also serves as a major north-south bike route for those who live, work, visit and travel through the neighborhood. As the street has become more popular, the city has heard increasing community concern about traffic safety and congestion. Ride-hailing services and commercial vehicles are frequently double-parking in the bike lane, posing safety concerns for all who travel on Valencia Street.
The SFMTA will work with the community to assess and recommend safety improvements for Valencia Street between Market and Mission streets. The Valencia Bikeway Improvements project will identify opportunities to upgrade the existing bike lanes given the high volume of cyclists on Valencia Street, history of bicycle-motor vehicle crashes, and evidence suggesting that illegal parking and loading within the bike lane is prevalent. The public engagement process will include outreach to local businesses, public meetings, workshops and other forums for community input.
The planning process will result in:

Proposed designs to upgrade the existing bike lanes
An evaluation of enforcement and curb management needs
Traffic flow and safety recommendations

Following the planning process, the SFMTA will prioritize near-and-long term safety improvements for implementation.

Commemorating 250 Years of SF at it's Birthplace - Discussion with Andrew Galvan, Curator of Mission Dolores at Manny's
2026-06-29 18:00 - 19:00 | 3092 16th Street San Francisco, CA 94110, 3092 16th Street, San Francisco, California, 94110
Commemorate SF’s 250th birthday (6/29/1776) with Andrew Galvan, curator of Mission Dolores and a direct descendant of the Ohlone people! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/commemorating-250-years-of-sf-at-its-birthplace-tickets-1990599811622

On June 29, 1776 — just five days before the Declaration of Independence was adopted on the other side of the continent — Spanish missionaries held the first Catholic Mass on a windswept peninsula that the Ohlone people had called home for thousands of years. Many historians consider the event and day as the “birthday” of San Francisco as a place.
Exactly 250 years later, we gather just a few hundred feet from that same spot to ask: what did that founding really mean? And what does it still mean today — for the city, for the United States, and for the Ohlone people whose way of life was forever changed by it?
This event kicks off a weeklong series reflecting on the 250th anniversary of San Francisco, the U.S.A., and a look ahead at the next 250 years. And there’s no better person to start that conversation than Andrew Galvan, curator of Mission Dolores and a direct descendant of the Ohlone people who were present at that very founding moment.
Galvan holds a perspective that is truly one of a kind. He is simultaneously a steward of the Catholic mission that reshaped his ancestors’ lives and a living carrier of the Ohlone culture that predates it by millennia. He’ll take us back to June 1776 — to the establishment of Misión San Francisco de Asís (MIssion Dolores)— and trace how that pivotal moment set the stage for the rise of one of the most extraordinary cities in the world, and the beginning of a new era for his people. No honest celebration of San Francisco or the U.S.’s 250th birthday is complete without this history.
