Short Survey on Parking Policy in Hayes Valley

We all complain about parking and traffic, and now someone is trying to learn more about it. Go to www.surveygizmo.com/s/251929/jnarg and take this quick survey to share your travel preferences with a grad student who is studying the effects of residential parking policy on travel behavior in San Francisco, with a focus on Hayes Valley. Alyssa Sherman is studying Urban Planning at San Jose State University and your response will help!

A Little Bit of Hayes

May 9th, Mothers’ Day, will see a fun event along Hayes Street. The merchants and restaurateurs are having a block party! People will have the chance to stroll along the avenue, perhaps purchasing Mothers’ Day gifts, or having a special meal with Mom in mind.

The event will start mid-morning and run throughout the day. Since Mothers often have kids in tow, plans call for craft activities as well as sales specials.

Come, have a good time, and support your
local merchants!
