Check out ENUF.org for better transit and parking management

The Eastern Neighborhoods United Front (ENUF) is comprised of dedicated and concerned stakeholders (including the Potrero Boosters) intent on changing SFMTAs plans to blanket our San Francisco neighborhoods with parking meters, and creating a better plan for transit and parking management in our part of town. ENUFs website, sfenuf.org, went live on June 1. In a couple of weeks, ENUF will start taking a census to Measure residents and businesses awareness of the SFMTAs parking plans in their neighborhood, Ask about residents and businesses perceptions about parking congestion in their neighborhood, Determine times that are most difficult to park in the Eastern Neighborhoods, and Find out where businesses employees and customers come from and by what mode of transportation.. Join the group at sfenuf.org, and fill out the census soon!
