I hope everyone had a great summer! Although the end of summer is here, there are several fun and free community festivals coming to the

neighborhood this fall. Please save the date and join us for one or more of these annual neighborhood gatherings.

I am pleased to announce that the Annual Sunset District Autumn Moon Festival is returning this year and will take place on Saturday, September 12th on Irving Street between 22nd and 25th Avenue from 10:00am to 3:00pm. This holiday is a time to reflect upon the bounty of the summer harvest, the fullness of the moon,

and the myth of the immortal moon Goddess, Chang-O. The Moon Festival is often considered a “Chinese Thanksgiving” because of its celebration of gratitude and inclusion of abundant food – including the popular moon cake. The Autumn Moon Festival will be a fun, family-friendly event where attendees will get a taste of the cultural diversity of the Sunset District. For more information about the Sunset District Autumn Moon Festival, including how to volunteer at or sponsor the event, please visit the Autumn Moon Festival website (http://www.sunsetdistrict.wix.com/autumn-moon-festival) or call our office at 415-554-7460.

In its 21st year, the Sunset Community Festival is a great opportunity to spend time with your family, friends and neighbors. Stop by anytime from 10:00am to 4:00pm to meet neighbors, eat delicious food, and watch spectacular performances. The Festival will be held on Saturday, September 19th at West Sunset Playground, located on Ortega Street and 39th Avenue. This year, the Festival will feature Sunset Mercantile, a festive pop-up, open air metropolis. For more information on the Sunset Community Festival, please visit the Sunset Community Festival website (http://sunsetdistrict.wix.com/sunsetfestival) or contact our office at (415) 554-7460.

Finally, save the date and support our Outer Noriega Merchants who are organizing the 5th Annual Ocean Beach Music and Art Festival (formerly the Outer Noriega Street Fair), on October 10th from 11:00am to 7:00pm. Held on Noriega Street between 45th and 47th Avenues, this street fair offers live music and a wide variety of goods and delicious food from our local businesses. For updates, please visit the Outer Noriega Merchants’ Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pages/Outer-Noriega-Merchants/227703057270141?sk=timeline) or contact obmusicartfestival@gmail.com if you are interested in reserving vendor space.

We are excited to welcome Wilson Ng as our new interim Legislative Aide in the District 4 office while Ashley Summers is on maternity leave. Prior to his appointment in Supervisor Tang’s office, Wilson worked in the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors as the Records Manager developing policy and procedures around public records and retention for the Board. Wilson comes highly recommended with a solid track record of work for the City and County of San Francisco. He has been an employee with the City for over seven years – working for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Department of Public Works, and San Francisco Unified School District in various analytical and administrative capacities prior to his work at the Board.

Wilson is a San Francisco native, and attended Lincoln High School before getting a Bachelor of Science in Managerial Economics from UC Davis and a Master in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. Wilson currently resides with his wife in the Outer Sunset, and enjoys home improvement.

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) is developing and implementing the 19th Avenue Park Presidio Neighborhood Transportation Plan in conjunction with partner agencies, including San Francisco Public Works and the community. A result of collaborative community planning, the recommendations are aimed at improving pedestrian crossing conditions, sidewalk conditions, and bus and traffic operations. The 19th Avenue Median Improvement Project comes from a recommended element of the 19th Avenue Park Presidio Neighborhood Transportation Plan.

We are excited that Phase II of the project, extending median planting from Wawona Street to Eucalyptus Drive, is expected to be completed early September! Phase I of the project, was completed in December 2012, creating a four foot wide planted area in the center median, stretching 15 blocks from Lincoln Way to Wawona Street.

19th Avenue links San Francisco with San Mateo County to the south and Marin County to the North. As a major north-south roadway with six traffic lanes, 19th Avenue carries more than 85,000 vehicles a day and is part of State Route 1. This complex corridor, serving both as a state highway and as a local urban arterial with multiple types of adjoining land uses, must accommodate bus transit, auto traffic, and non-motorized travel.

The 19th Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project also falls under San Francisco Department of Public Work’s (DPW) Great Streets Program that aims to improve the public rights-of-way for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists and to soften the urban landscape with more greening.

For more information about DPW’s Great Streets Program, visit http://sfdpw.org/index.aspx?page=1628.

On July 31st, our office joined community members and San Francisco Public Works in celebrating the completion of the Taraval Streetscape Improvement Project. The upgrades include more visible crosswalks, sidewalk bulb-outs, improved landscaping, streetlight upgrades, new sidewalks, repaved streets, a public seating area and more. The renovation project is meant to provide a safer and more inviting environment for pedestrians in the Outer Taraval commercial corridor.

The improvements are located between 46th and 48th Avenues along Taraval Street. The showpiece for this project is a mosaic-covered sculpture in the center of the new traffic circle on the intersection of 48th Avenue and Taraval Street, which has been unofficially named “Surf-henge.”

In addition to Taraval Street, Irving Street between 19th and 27th Avenues will also receive streetscape improvements, which will include new colored concrete sidewalks; sidewalk bulb-outs at the 20th, 22nd, and 25th Avenue intersections; crosswalk enhancements at 22nd Avenue; new street trees; site furnishings; and gateway features. The project is currently finishing up the design phase with construction beginning this September. Construction operations will begin with sewer work, and streetscape work will continue through 2016.

On August 19th, many Sunset residents joined our office, along with the San Francisco Planning Department, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), and architecture firm Perkins + Will to continue our discussion on temporary investments to the Francis Scott Key Annex yard (located at 1351 42nd Avenue and Judah Street). The draft design for the Francis Scott Key Annex yard contains a community garden, a family-style barbecue and eating area, play area for children, a space for artist studios, improved basketball courts, and a skating area. This was the fourth community meeting and attendees reviewed draft revisions based on community feedback from the last meeting. Discussions were moderated by a third-party facilitator, Community Boards. Overall, residents were in agreement that they would like to see improvements made to the existing annex yard, but our office will continue working with the Planning Department to incorporate feedback we received from residents and produce more detailed designs for the final plan. Please stay tuned as we may ask community members to attend at least one additional meeting to resolve outstanding issues. Once a final design is agreed upon by residents, the project would then need to be approved by the Board of Education, given that the site is under SFUSD jurisdiction. Contingent on finalization of the annex plan, construction is slated to begin in early fall and the opening expected in late fall.

With the new school year starting in August, Supervisor Tang and several local Walgreens stores held our third annual School Supply Drive in the Sunset District. Over 100 students and families came to Ortega Branch Library on August 15th to pick up supplies in preparation for the new school year. Public donation bins were set up at local Walgreens locations for two weeks leading up to the supply drive, and Walgreens customers were encouraged to donate supplies including: notebooks, binder paper, calculators, pencils/pens, crayons, backpacks, binders/folders, scissors, rulers, and USB flash drives. Participating Walgreens stores included the Noriega Street, Irving Street, Ocean Ave, and Taraval Street locations.

This year, we received the largest amount of donations ever – so a special thank you to all of our donors and Walgreens patrons!

Third Annual Back to School Supply Drive

At last month’s Discover Your District event, Supervisor Tang attended a pottery workshop at Larry Letofsky Studio located at 1235 47th Avenue between Lincoln Way and Irving Street. The owner of the studio, Larry Letofsky, is not only one of the most talented and celebrated potters in the Bay Area, but also a San Francisco State University alumnus. Students had an opportunity to get hands-on and learn the art of pottery – creating utilitarian pieces of clay and porcelain, learning how to use a kiln, and understanding the importance and application of glazes. Larry Letofsky Studio offers hands-on and educational fun to children and families of all ages. For more information about Larry Letofsky Studio, visit: www.letofskystudio.net.

Construction has begun on the Sunset Boulevard Greenway. This is one of eight green infrastructure projects in each of San Francisco’s urban watersheds. These projects will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of green infrastructure in managing stormwater to reduce the stress on our wastewater system. The rain garden design concepts reflect the natural topography and soil conditions of Sunset Boulevard, which are incredibly supportive of stormwater infiltration.

Another unique feature of this project is the inclusion of a “learning lab” to provide educational info on a variety of subjects related to the project, including stormwater and the hydrologic cycle, conservation, ecology, biology, native plants, and other environmental topics. Local schools are helping us program this learning lab and develop related curriculum.

San Francisco Public Works has begun construction with a pilot phase on the block of Sunset Boulevard from Vicente to Ulloa. This section is expected to be completed in September 2015, with total project completion slated for the end of next year. Learn more about the project at www.sfwater.org/sunsetgreenway.

Sea Stack, a beach-themed pop-up store, is a collaboration between San Francisco-based Alite Designs and other brands which aim to prepare you for the outdoors with its locally-sourced gear. The small, clean space places emphasis on its wares, which include goods such as Susan Hoff’s clothing line made from repurposed sails, Sunski sunglasses, and Scrapdog Skateboards. They even sell a foldable kayak and a folding chair that collapses to the size of a super burrito for those outdoor adventures that require extra portability. Sea Stack’s emphasis on the beach lifestyle is a constant reminder that this store is located only three blocks from the ocean.

Artwork from local artists line the walls of the store, and its backyard patio comes equipped with a picnic table, lounge chairs, and reading material. Occasionally, the store plays hosts to brewing workshops, happy hour events, surf sessions, and art galleries. To find out more about what’s going on at Sea Stack, visit the Events section at http://www.alitedesigns.com/field-notes/grand-opening-sea-stack-beach-pop-up.

Take advantage of the last days of summer and let Sea Stack prepare you for your next outdoor excursion.

MERCHANT SPOTLIGHT

On August 18, 2015, a two-alarm fire tore through the lower strip of Taraval St. and completely gutted The Riptide, a beloved bar to many of the locals in the Sunset District.

The Riptide has been a staple in the Outer Sunset and a frequented meeting spot for the community. Many locals know The Riptide as the spot to enjoy some of the best touring and local music acts including bluegrass, rock, jazz, blues, solo acoustic, country, and American roots music. Many have also discovered their voice through open mic and karaoke nights at The Riptide, and enjoyed bingo and burlesque nights.

The loss is devastating not only to residents and patrons, but for owners David Quinby and Les James, who sustained roughly $600,000 in damage due to the fire, according to a preliminary estimate by the Fire Department. David and Les took over The Riptide 11 years ago, and turned the bar into a vibrant community hub in the Outer Sunset.

Many locals in the neighborhood may know David and Les for their extensive involvement in the Sunset community. They have hosted countless benefits at The Riptide, including many ongoing events to benefit the Surfrider Foundation. They have also been heavily involved in the Taraval Streetscape Improvement Project and participate each year in the San Francisco Fire Department’s toy drive. David and Les, along with the Taraval Merchants Association, were the founding members of the Taraval Street Fair, and they look forward to bringing this fair back in 2016.

We encourage you to help David and Les support the employees who have been left without a job and bring our beloved bar back from the ashes! Visit the Friends of The Riptide’s GoFundMe page (http://www.gofundme.com/vw29vw5w) to support rebuilding The Riptide!

We cannot predict exactly when a disaster or emergency will occur. However, we can take measures to prepare for an emergency that will help prevent damage and loss to our community. Our office will provide helpful information and resources on emergency preparedness so that District 4 residents may take precautionary steps from www.sf72.org.

A drought is a period of abnormally dry weather that persists long enough to produce a serious hydrologic imbalance, causing, for example, crop damage and shortages in the water supply. The severity of a drought depends on the degree of moisture deficiency, the duration, and the size of the affected area. Here are some general water conservation tips:

• Never pour water down the drain when there may be another use for it. Use it to water your indoor plants or garden.

• Make sure your home is leak-free. Take a reading of the water meter. Wait 30 minutes without using any water and then take a second reading. If the meter reading changes, you have a leak!

• Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. One drop per second wastes 2,700 gallons of water per year!

With California facing one of the most severe droughts on record, we should be more proactive on water conservation. If you want to learn more water conservation tips, please visit: http://www.ready.gov/drought.

It is coyote pupping season, which means more potential for dog/coyote encounters. Coyotes will be taking their youngsters on treks away from their dens. San Francisco has several dozen coyotes living in the city, and they have been spotted in almost all of our parks. Because most folks in San Francisco have dogs or cats, it is a good time to brush up on coyote behavior and the guidelines necessary for peacefully coexisting. “Coyotes As Neighbors” (https://youtu.be/euG7R11aXq0) is an excellent all-in-one YouTube video presentation which explains relevant coyote behavior. Spanish and Mandarin versions are also available in the video description. For an additional brief written summary, visit Bay Nature’s “How to Get Along With Coyotes As Pups Venture Out” (https://baynature.org/articles/how-to-get-along-with-coyotes-as-pups-venture-out/). Please help get the word out by sharing this information.
