Ballot measures that passed in San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland marked major victories for transit, open space and higher minimum wages across the region. And in San Francisco, we saw many other SPUR priorities — from the Children’s Fund to the Pier 70 project to the Golden Gate Park soccer fields— move forward.
SPUR worked hard to build support for San Francisco’s Proposition A, the bond dedicated to improvements in Muni service and street safety. We are thrilled by its passage and encouraged by what appears to be a broad pattern of voter support for transit, biking and walking, all across the region. Also in San Francisco, the passage of Prop B, which boosts Muni funding to keep pace with population growth, and the rejection of Prop L, which would have rolled back the city’s Transit First policy, signaled emphatic public interest in investing in transportation options and moving away from reliance on cars.
