| As a reminder, when everyone is concerned with the spread of germs and viruses, please remember DO NOT FLUSH any type of wet wipes down the toilet. Even the wipes that are labeled “Safe To Flush” or “Flushable” can lead to toilet and pipe blockages causing water to overflow into residents units. Waste pipe clogs and the subsequent water damage it will cause can be very costly. Wet wipes, any kind, are generally made from non-woven fibrous materials. Wet wipes DO NOT break down in the waste pipes. Please be sure to dispose of “Flushable” or “Non Flushable” wet wipes in your trash. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! |
| Please find the following message from SFMTA: In the rapidly changing environment caused by COVID-19, the SFMTA is making additional updates to Muni service. While ridership has fallen significantly, our bus operators still serve approximately 100,000 passengers a day – getting nurses, cooks, custodians, and other essential workers to their jobs. The SFMTA has instituted some of the strongest health protections for our operators, mechanics, car cleaners and customers to minimize risk of transmission on our buses. These efforts have been paired with our continued effort to maintain regular service, so remaining essential workers have the space to maintain recommended distances on Muni. However, it has become increasingly difficult to continue delivering service on our current network due to operator availability and the changing trip needs of the community. Following public health guidance, there are operators are in self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution, while others have conditions that make them especially vulnerable. We are expecting over 40% of our operators to be out in the coming week. Remaining operators will continue to be on the job doing the heroic work of keeping San Francisco moving during this crisis. In order to maintain service levels to provide social distance, we must focus our available resources on the lines that most critically serve essential trips. This means temporarily reducing Muni service, and prioritizing routes in most critical need during the pandemic. Our priority is to be fully transparent with the community. Our goal is to restore normal service as quickly as possible. However, in the interim, we will prioritize our available resources based on connections to medical facilities, Muni’s Equity Strategy, and data from customer travel patterns we’ve observed during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order. In order to maintain frequency, and sufficient social distance on these services, we will continue to operate 17 routes, while temporarily eliminating services on others. Changes to Muni service are being rolled out in phases Monday, April 6 Customers should prepare for delays across the Muni system both Monday and Tuesday. We expect to be below necessary staffing levels to provide adequate service. This gap will cause missed runs and delays that may not be accurately reflected in NextBus predictions. If you need to make an essential trip, plan to use other options or allow extra time when riding Muni. Tuesday, April 7 Service will be temporarily discontinued on seven routes that are experiencing low ridership or have nearby lines that provide similar service and connections. Routes to be discontinued include the 2 Clement, 3 Jackson, 5 Fulton, 7 Haight, 10 Townsend, 21 Hayes and 31 Balboa. Wednesday, April 8 Service will be further reduced to our 17 most-used lines. This core network will provide service within one mile of all San Franciscans. This approach allows Muni to continue to serve San Francisco’s medical facilities and focuses on equity to ensure service for our customers most reliant on transit. The frequency of buses will vary by line so that lines experiencing some crowding will have more frequent service than others. The 17 core routes that will remain in service, with some modifications include: N Judah Bus 22 Fillmore L Taraval Bus 24 Divisadero T Third Bus 25 Treasure Island 1 California 29 Sunset 8 Bayshore 38 Geary 9 San Bruno 38R Geary Rapid 14 Mission 44 O’Shaughnessy 14R Mission Rapid 49 Van Ness/Mission 19 Polk More details on the exact service plan will be available soon, so stay tuned and thank you for your patience as we all get through this difficult time together. How San Franciscans Can Help We need San Franciscans to help us continue to minimize risk of COVID-19 transmission on Muni. Please remember to stay home except for essential trips that cannot be made any other way. Take alternative transportation to Muni if you can. Comply with the shelter-in-place directive. Make only essential trips Use Muni for essential trips only when other options are not available. By developing a plan to deliver core Muni service with the resources available, we can continue to minimize risks of transmission and ensure our transit system works for essential trips across San Francisco. For more information on what we’re are doing and updates to SFMTA services, please visit SFMTA.com/COVID19. |

Union Square | 333 Post St, San Francisco, CaliforniaUnion Square / DowntownSan Francisco
The beautiful Hearts in San Francisco will unveiled on Valentine’s Day at the four corners of Union Square, February 14, 2020. They will be on view until November 2020.
Hearts in San Francisco Project
The Hearts in San Francisco project debuted in 2004. Under the leadership of Nancy Bechtle and Ellen Magin Newman, 131 beautiful and inspired heart sculptures were created by local Bay Area artists. For three months, these hearts were placed on display throughout San Francisco for the public to enjoy, before being auctioned.
Surpassing its original goal, Hearts in San Francisco raised nearly $3 million for the Foundation. The project generated a new level of exposure for the Foundation’s mission, as well as Zuckerberg San Francisco General’s vital role in our community as a provider of life-saving care to anyone in need, regardless of ability to pay.
The Foundation is incredibly grateful to all who were involved in helping to bring the Hearts in San Francisco project to life. From those on the planning committee, to the talented artists, as well as our generous corporate sponsors, thank you. Most importantly we thank the entire San Francisco community for opening its heart to our Hearts.
To view the collection of Hearts in San Francisco sculptures, visit our Gallery of Hearts.
Locations
Hearts in San Francisco sculptures can be spotted throughout the City and beyond. The most recognizable Tony Bennett’s heart titled, America’s Greatest City By the Bay resides permanently on the corner of Powell and Post Streets in San Francisco’s Union Square. All of the ‘heartworks’ are privately owned and some are in easily discovered locations, such as the lobbies and storefronts of our generous corporate supporters, others are at the homes of private individuals. Out of respect for the privacy of our donors and supporters, we are unable to release a list of locations for the hearts. If you look closely around the City, we’re sure you’ll be able to spot several.
How many have you found?
