Now in San Francisco
June 1-5, San Francisco San Francisco gets in touch with its United Nations roots by hosting World Environment Day 2005 , with mayors from all over the world coming to meet with other world citizens and talk about green cities.
June 3 & 11, San Francisco progressives unite with the San Francisco Peoples' Organization — first, a Kick Off Party (June 3) with Matty G and some phat Greens and hipsters, followed by the Founding Convention (June 11), all of which you can be a part of and make things happen.
right now on the streets of SF The San Francisco Bicycle Advisory Committee is conducting public review of the Bike Plan 2004 2005 Draft Network Improvement Document, the "Plan part" of the Bike Plan 2004 2005 (the "Policy part" is slowly percolating up to the Board of Supervisors).
right now on the streets of SF The San Francisco Bicycle Advisory Committee is also conducting public review of Bike Planning and Environmental Review , towards legislative reform of LOS ("Level of Service"), a long-standing obstacle to safer, more accessible streets for bikes (and peds and transit and seniors and humans in general). This is an obscure topic with a profound influence on bike planning — please come join the conversation and help us resolve one of the biggest complications to better biking in San Francisco.

right now, Albany Waterfront Park The Albany Bulb, a semi-spoiled, de-spoiled, re-spoiled scene, is under attack by the straights. Jon Carroll's column from the Chronicle has some background, Let It Be Albany will tell you why it's worth saving. Tomas McCabe has even made a documentary film about the Bulb, Bum's Paradise.
