Library socrucial to our families. Later this month, a new Trader
Joes at the former Cala site at California andHyde will once again
give neighbors easy access to a grocery store.
Of course, November also marks the start of the holiday season,
which is also a time for giving andsharing. The Telegraph Hill
Neighborhood Center is once again serving a free Thanksgiving
Dinner tohundreds of residents on November 15. If youd like to
volunteer, email [email protected].

neighborhood and our families. So many of you have worked so
hard to get us to this day thank you!
North Beach Library
Honoring Nancy Lim-Yee for Mental Health Appreciation MonthI had
the opportunity to recognize Nancy Lim-Yee for Mental Health
Awareness Month at the Board. Iam grateful for Nancys work caring
for children and families for the past 37 years, especially
hercommitment to ensuring language access and culturally competent
services for immigrant families. Aclinical social worker by
training, Nancy currently serves as the program director for the
ChinatownChild Development Center and board member of NICOS Chinese
Health Coalition and API HealthParity Coalition. Nancys l ifelong
commitment to providing mental health services is truly
commendable.
Honoring Bottle Cap Restaurant for Restaurant Appreciation
MonthOnce a year, the Board of Supervisors highlights one
restaurant from each district, which is always adifficult choice
given District 3's plethora of amazing restaurants. North Beach's
Bottle Cap had bigshoes to fill in the historic Washington Square
Bar & Grill spot. But the dynamic husband-wife duo ofDane
Boryta and Liz Ferro and their team have succeeded tremendously,
with delicious sustainable,local foods and classic cocktails.
Bottle Cap has also been a true community partner, showcasing
thebest of our local musical talent, displaying our local artists
on its walls, and hosting neighborhoodmeetings, events and
fundraisers for local nonprofits.
More Broadway Streetscape Improvements Coming SoonBy spring of
next year, work will begin on the next phase of long-planned
streetscape and pedestriansafety improvements on Broadway between
Kearny and Montgomery. The project includes: sidewalkbulb-outs at
intersections, reconstructing sidewalks, new street trees,

Plan, which wasdeveloped with extensive community input in

Legislation
Keeping Lower Polk Street Vibrant and SafeThis week, I
introduced legislation to create appropriate controls to keep
nightlife and economic activityvibrant, diverse and safe in the
Lower Polk neighborhood. While we all appreciate the bustling
activityon Polk Street, particularly at night, the Lower Polk
neighborhood has been saturated with alcoholestablishments, bars
and liquor stores the Office of Small Business has 60 alcohol
licenses on recordfor the 6 blocks of Polk Street from O'Farrell to
California and its side streets. This concentration ofalcohol
establishments has caused quality of life issues for our residents,
including noise and publicsafety issues.
Thats why I worked with residents and merchants from Lower Polk
Neighbors to create a restricted use
district for Lower Polk Street, similar to districts on the
Divisadero, Third and Mission Street corridors. Mylegislation would
prohibit new bars, liquor stores and tobacco shops, but allow new
bona-fiderestaurants to apply for alcohol and en tertainment
permits with conditional approval from Planning,allow existing ow
ners of alcohol establishments a mechanism to transfer their
permits with conditionalapproval from Planning and 180 days to
maintain its use during temporary closure. I look forward toworking
with our neighborhood residents and merchants to move this
legislation forward.
Ongoing LegislationPOPOS Approved- After a good discussion at
the Land Use Committee, my legislation to improvesignage for
Privately-Owned Public Open Spaces was approved on first reading by
the Board lastweek. I appreciate the work of SPUR and the Planning
Department and the coverage of the ChroniclesJohn King, which will
help make our dense downtown more livable.
Open Data in Committee - The legislation I introduced with the
Mayor to strengthen the Citys Open
Data policy will head to committee in a few weeks. Ive been
working with some District 3 residents whocare deeply about making
SF government data more available on the DataSF site. Please
email
[email protected] if youd also like to get involved or hear
about the committee date.
