Sunday Streets kicks off the Mission Pilot Program!
(click here to download activity info)
Sunday Streets 2012 season features a four-event Mission Sunday Streets Pilot project, consisting of four consecutive events the first Sundays from May to August on the popular Mission route - Valencia from 14th to 24th and 24th Street from Valencia to Hampshire.

 All Sunday Streets events start at 11:00 am and last until 4:00 pm. The Mission dates are: May 6, June 3, July 1, August 5, 2012.

The purpose of this pilot is to explore the feasibility of holding more frequent Sunday Streets events on an established route. Our first step is to hold one Sunday Streets per month in the Mission on a regular schedule for consistency - the 1st Sunday of each month - to see what the challenges are and how it works for the community. We will be doing an Economic Analysis among businesses along the route, and gathering input from residents, business owners, local employees, and religious institutions to gauge the impacts and support for the idea of having a regular Sunday Streets route in the Mission (or in another area of the City).

Sunday Streets presenting city agency, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, is offering flat rate parking in two Mission area garages on Sunday Streets days between 6:00 am and 12:00 noon:
• $10 Mission Bartlett Garage (90 Bartlett St between 21st & 22nd St)
• $7 San Francisco General Hospital Parking Garage (2500 24th St)
Vehicles entering after 12:00 noon pay the hourly rate.

Volunteer for Sunday Streets in the Mission!
We still need volunteers for the event on May 6th, and would love it if you could sign up and bring a friend! When you volunteer a shift for Sunday Streets, not only are you helping to make Sunday Streets possible, but you also get a cool Sunday Streets t-shirt, complimentary lunch, invitations to special volunteer parties!

We are proud that the Sunday Streets Volunteer Program is managed by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Sunday Streets is sponsored by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and Livable City, the non-profit fiscal sponsor of Sunday Streets responsible for the day-to-day management of the program.

Spotlight on Happy Hounds Massage
Has your dog had surgery recently, or been injured in any way? Maybe s/he is limping after playing too much, maybe you can't tell that your furry friend is injured at all, or are they just getting a little slower and stiffer as the years go by . Just like humans, animals require a bit of extra care after an injury. Many times they just keep doing what they're dedicated to doing - running, jumping, working, playing and keeping us company - while in pain. Of course they can't tell us they have a stiff shoulder or that their knee hurts, and unless there's an obvious change in their behavior it's easy to assume that they're fine. Unlike humans, they don't complain. Instead they quietly and willingly adapt to move around the problem.

Small Animal Massage can help detect, alleviate, and prevent  recurrence of the conditions that can keep your pet from enjoying the freedom of movement they were designed to have. Happy Hounds Massage has able to provide this service to our most trusted and valuable friends, whether they have fur, feathers or scales.  Shelah Barr, founder of Happy Hounds Massage, offers her services to the community in a number of ways. Happy Hounds Massage offers in home services to clients within San Francisco city limits. You can also find her twice a month at Pet Food Express, offering evaluations, assessment, and treatment with sessions starting as low as $15. Shelah organizes all of the wonderful pet groups to come out to Sunday Streets to show off the services they provide for the animals in our community. You can read more about Shelah by turning to page 44 of this Life and Dog magazine, or by visiting the Happy Hounds Massage website. You can also find her on facebook by clicking here.
