West Portal high schooler Katelyn Lee is working on making local politics, news and events accessible to San Francisco’s youth via a new website. The District 7 resident is the founder of PoliLink, a website dedicated to gathering important news related to San Francisco politics.
If the Great Hauntway celebration is truly inclusive to everyone, then it should be fully ADA compliant so disabled children and adults may also attend. This follows the same pattern of deceit used to establish this so-called “park” by widely spreading misinformation. The park’s events are not open to everyone if disability access is inadequate.
Community members are invited to complete the Accessibility Needs Survey online now through Wednesday, Jan. 15 here. The Accessibility survey is available online in nine languages with a telephone option available for residents in need of assistance – 311.

For the second year in a row, banning cars from (the eastern part of) JFK Drive made it impossible for many people with mobility disabilities, seniors, those who live far from Golden Gate Park and others to see the Winter Lights shows.
To provide adaptive bicycles for free to people with disabilities, the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program (BORP) has teamed up with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), Lyft Bay Wheels and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
Is JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park accessible to all or just to able bodied and financially able?
After the SF Recreation and Park Department closed John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park to vehicular traffic 24/7 to allow space for pedestrians and cyclists to get some exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic, it created a wall between the Richmond District and the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park.
As we plan for reopening in the future, we will continue to closely follow local and state public health guidelines to inform our approach. We look forward to welcoming visitors back through our doors again and our top priority is to ensure we provide the safest experience possible.
