But drivers working for Lyft, Uber and other ride-share companies will have to obey the new rule, since they are considered to be private cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedestrian safety advocates say this new traffic pattern, combined with other upgrades, is a much-needed improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Market Street can be especially dangerous because “it’s a very confusing street with awkward intersections,” said Nicole Ferrara, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://walksf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Walk San Francisco\u003c/a>, an organization that advocates for pedestrian safety. Cars make up only 10 to 30 percent of Market Street traffic but account for 80 percent of traffic injuries on that stretch, Ferrara added.

It's part of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2015/Safer%20Market%20Street%20Factsheet%20Post%20MTAB_July_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Safer Market Street Project\u003c/a>, a safety upgrade that's included in a roster of street safety improvements under \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/projects-planning/projects/vision-zero\" target=\"_blank\">Vision Zero\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2012 and 2013, there were 162 collisions resulting in injuries along Market Street, said Paul Rose, spokesman for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. The ban on private vehicle turns is accompanied with other changes that include extending transit-only lanes and installing new loading and painted safety zones to boost visibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/218841576&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/218841576'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This project is driven by the sobering collision data on Market Street and our Vision Zero goal of ending traffic fatalities in San Francisco,” said SFMTA Director of Transportation, Ed Reiskin. “Traffic collisions are preventable, and these focused turn restrictions will create a safer, better Market Street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But drivers working for Lyft, Uber and other ride-share companies will have to obey the new rule, since they are considered to be private cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedestrian safety advocates say this new traffic pattern, combined with other upgrades, is a much-needed improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Market Street can be especially dangerous because “it’s a very confusing street with awkward intersections,” said Nicole Ferrara, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://walksf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Walk San Francisco\u003c/a>, an organization that advocates for pedestrian safety. Cars make up only 10 to 30 percent of Market Street traffic but account for 80 percent of traffic injuries on that stretch, Ferrara added. The new restrictions are expected to cut traffic volumes along that stretch by as much as 50 percent, according to the SFMTA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vision Zero\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/01/how-san-francisco-plans-to-reduce-pedestrian-deaths/\" target=\"_blank\"> aims to improve pedestrian safety\u003c/a> with upgrades to 24 intersections citywide. The whole package is expected to be completed by February of 2016, and the Market Street project is number 16 on the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA representatives appeared with Supervisors Jane Kim and Julie Christensen Monday to unveil the Safer Market Street Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For many years, we've been hearing that people feel unsafe walking and biking there,\" Kim said. \"You're getting a lot of drivers who aren't yielding to bikes and pedestrians,\" but the turn restrictions aim to address that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, \"Not every road should be prioritized for private vehicle traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The idea for the Black Love Festival came from two problems they frequently encountered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, there are few black people left in San Francisco, where Leigh Davenport lives. She says, \"It’s palpable, it’s really palpable, the dwindling population,\" which is down to about 5 percent, half of what it was 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, not everyone feels comfortable demonstrating in the streets. \"We’ve had about five different events, and we’ve found that there wasn’t enough young people attending,\" Brown says. \"We were looking for people between the ages of 13 and 30.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they tried a new strategy: They would get young black people to network and come to San Francisco for an arts and culture festival that was part creativity and part activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A big thing that’s happened in the black community in America is we have become ashamed of ourselves,\" Pharr says. \"I think when you see all this criminalization in the media, and you see all these representations of us, that we’re kind of afraid to be ourselves and celebrate ourselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three of the women sit barefoot at a table in Brown's mother's apartment, not too far from where the festival took place. They've spent months trying to figure out the best way make this festival happen. The message of Black Love isn’t to shame people for not being at protests. Instead, it's to help a new generation heal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The media are loaded with videos and stories of young people of color who are killed by the police. Pharr points to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/23/us/23blandlisty.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">July 13 death of Sandra Bland\u003c/a>, who was pulled over for not putting on her turn signal while driving in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \"She was found hanging in a jail cell, and she was a college graduate just like me,\" she says. \"Moved to find a new job, just like me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It becomes overwhelming, she adds: \"You kind of feel like there’s no end in sight sometimes. You kind of feel like, is it ever going to end? Are we ever going to stop being murdered? ... Some days I’m so happy that I was born with this beautiful melanin, and then some days I feel like it’s a blessing and a curse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/o1pmfsRCCSo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>hese feelings certainly aren't new, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.obatshaka.com/home\">Oba T'Shaka\u003c/a>, who has participated in various forms of resistance, starting with the civil rights movement in San Francisco in the '60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our youth are experiencing what we experienced, which is anger and disturbance at seeing our people oppressed,\" he says. In the '60s it was social and economic oppression. Today it's police oppression, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \"The '60s produced a restructuring of the black mind, not for all blacks,\" T'Shaka says. \"In fact, our movements failed to systematize that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restructuring of the black mind is hard to put into words, but it’s happening with Black Lives Matter, he says. It's an awakening process similar to when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Once people become critically aware of the oppression around them, they start an awakening process and seek to heal from race-based trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People realize that they have been hoodwinked. Some who had been involved in gangster behavior, gang-banging, realize that they’ve been gang-banging against the people who they’re supposed to be engaged in the struggle to liberate,\" T'Shaka says. \"And others who may have been involved in middle-class behavior and escapism, they begin to think about the collective and about the whole.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the moment Spike Lee alludes to in his films, like in the infamous \"Wake Up\" scene at the end of \"School Daze,\" when Laurence Fishburne's character, Dap, screams, \"WAAAAAAAAKE UP!\" as dreamy music builds and his fellow classmates gather in front of him. He's calling on his fellow classmates to wake up and undergo the awakening process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point, says T'Shaka, is that for self-love to happen, black Americans have always needed to embrace their African and African-American roots, sparking a deep transformation that builds collective \"leaderful\" movements like Black Lives Matter and Black Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Lg8Oq_Sd3Bw\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She says, \"It’s palpable, it’s really palpable, the dwindling population,\" which is down to about 5 percent, half of what it was 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, not everyone feels comfortable demonstrating in the streets. \"We’ve had about five different events, and we’ve found that there wasn’t enough young people attending,\" Brown says. \"We were looking for people between the ages of 13 and 30.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they tried a new strategy: They would get young black people to network and come to San Francisco for an arts and culture festival that was part creativity and part activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A big thing that’s happened in the black community in America is we have become ashamed of ourselves,\" Pharr says. \"I think when you see all this criminalization in the media, and you see all these representations of us, that we’re kind of afraid to be ourselves and celebrate ourselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three of the women sit barefoot at a table in Brown's mother's apartment, not too far from where the festival took place. They've spent months trying to figure out the best way make this festival happen. The message of Black Love isn’t to shame people for not being at protests. Instead, it's to help a new generation heal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The media are loaded with videos and stories of young people of color who are killed by the police. Pharr points to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/23/us/23blandlisty.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">July 13 death of Sandra Bland\u003c/a>, who was pulled over for not putting on her turn signal while driving in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \"She was found hanging in a jail cell, and she was a college graduate just like me,\" she says. \"Moved to find a new job, just like me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It becomes overwhelming, she adds: \"You kind of feel like there’s no end in sight sometimes. You kind of feel like, is it ever going to end? Are we ever going to stop being murdered? ... Some days I’m so happy that I was born with this beautiful melanin, and then some days I feel like it’s a blessing and a curse.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/o1pmfsRCCSo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/o1pmfsRCCSo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>hese feelings certainly aren't new, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.obatshaka.com/home\">Oba T'Shaka\u003c/a>, who has participated in various forms of resistance, starting with the civil rights movement in San Francisco in the '60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our youth are experiencing what we experienced, which is anger and disturbance at seeing our people oppressed,\" he says. In the '60s it was social and economic oppression. Today it's police oppression, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \"The '60s produced a restructuring of the black mind, not for all blacks,\" T'Shaka says. \"In fact, our movements failed to systematize that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restructuring of the black mind is hard to put into words, but it’s happening with Black Lives Matter, he says. It's an awakening process similar to when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Once people become critically aware of the oppression around them, they start an awakening process and seek to heal from race-based trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People realize that they have been hoodwinked. Some who had been involved in gangster behavior, gang-banging, realize that they’ve been gang-banging against the people who they’re supposed to be engaged in the struggle to liberate,\" T'Shaka says. \"And others who may have been involved in middle-class behavior and escapism, they begin to think about the collective and about the whole.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the moment Spike Lee alludes to in his films, like in the infamous \"Wake Up\" scene at the end of \"School Daze,\" when Laurence Fishburne's character, Dap, screams, \"WAAAAAAAAKE UP!\" as dreamy music builds and his fellow classmates gather in front of him. He's calling on his fellow classmates to wake up and undergo the awakening process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point, says T'Shaka, is that for self-love to happen, black Americans have always needed to embrace their African and African-American roots, sparking a deep transformation that builds collective \"leaderful\" movements like Black Lives Matter and Black Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The august old space, site of the signing of the United Nations charter in 1945 and countless performance and literary events, temporarily closed for massive renovations in 2013 and reopens at the end of September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The renovations to the Veterans Building, part of the larger War Memorial and Performing Arts Center complex (which also includes the opera house and Davies Symphony Hall) cost more than $150 million in total. The city of San Francisco, as well as grant makers like the Herbst Foundation provided funding for the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Veterans Building originally opened in 1932. It hasn’t had a major facelift since the late 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10841928\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10841928\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Renovations underway at the Veterans Building\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2-1400x1050.jpg 1400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/Veterans-Building-2-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Renovations underway at the Veterans Building \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Among the most significant upgrades to the public areas of the site are the installation of a cafe with outdoor seating (scheduled to open in January 2016), new boxes in the Herbst Theatre auditorium with improved acoustics and sight lines, better acoustics, fresh paint and stage curtains, restored chandeliers, enlarged gallery space and the addition of restrooms on every floor.

O'Reilly is collecting signatures for a petition supporting the proposal, which would impose a mandatory five years in federal prison for people who are deported and return, and 10 years for people caught a second time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We feel the federal, state and cities, their laws are here to protect us,\" Jim Steinle said. \"But we feel that this particular set of circumstances and the people involved, the different agencies let us down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liz Sullivan said she hopes some good might come out of her daughter's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to make it so much better for everybody in the United States that this, as you say, would never happen again,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of sanctuary protections have jumped on O'Reilly and others, saying they have politicized the death. They say public safety is improved when immigrants can work with local police without fear of deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that, Jim Steinle said, \"We're getting a little tired of the finger-pointing, and we want to see some action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinle's death has fueled a national debate on immigration, with advocates of stricter border control denouncing San Francisco as a city whose immigrant \"sanctuary\" protections harbor people who are in the country illegally. Even some prominent Bay Area Democrats say Lopez-Sanchez should have been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal records show Lopez-Sanchez had been deported three times before being sentenced to about five years in federal prison in 1998. He had finished his third stint in prison for re-entering the country illegally when he was sent to San Francisco March 26 to face a 1995 drug charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute, given the age of the case and the small amount of marijuana involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Sheriff's Department released Lopez-Sanchez on April 15, declining to honor a request by federal immigration authorities to keep Lopez-Sanchez in custody for 48 hours until they could pick him up for deportation proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has defended his decision, saying he was following city law, including a broader 1989 city \"sanctuary\" law and a more specific 2013 ordinance that applies specifically to federal immigration detainers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

If the measure qualifies and voters approve it in November, the city would have six months to implement it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to concerns about the cost of live streaming the meetings, Lee said it would cost “pennies” relative to the city’s budget.

He is accused of soliciting and accepting bribes from an alleged Chinatown gang leader in exchange for providing help from Sacramento. The FBI also alleged that Yee, who was running for secretary of state at the time, conspired to connect an undercover agent with an international arms dealer in exchange for campaign contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three other defendants with hearings scheduled Wednesday are Keith Jackson, a former San Francisco school board member who acted as Yee's consultant and fundraiser; Jackson's son Brandon; and Marlon Sullivan, a sports agent. Their attorneys also did not immediately return calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrests were the culmination of the FBI's eight-year investigation of Raymond Chow, the elected head of a Chinese-American association called Ghee Kung Tong. The FBI alleges the association was a racketeering enterprise and that undercover agents laundered $2.6 million in cash from illegal bookmaking through the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chow has pleaded not guilty to money laundering and other charges.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
