Today from Mission Local

Good morning!

Well, the MTA now has a proposal to move the much-hated Valencia center bike lane to the curbside–but a lot of people hate that idea, too. The loss of parking spots, complaints by merchants, collisions, and pedestrian safety still remain concerns.

See how they run is following mayoral candidate Ahsha Safaí, who walked through the Sunset yesterday guided by Richard Wan, a Chinese Chamber of Commerce member. Wan, who’s also guided London Breed and Aaron Peskin in a year when the Chinese vote is up for grabs, says that he’s tired of politicians.

In other election news, see our questions for the supervisorial candidates in D9 on police commissioners, and in D5 on budget priorities.

And read this affecting obituary of Luis Manuel Arguello-Ingliss, the teen shot and killed in Dolores Park two weeks ago. If you’re in the park, stop by and pay your respects at the altar where his friends and family gather.

More soon,

Sara
