John,

Yesterday, Mayor Breed joined San Franciscans to celebrate the JFK Promenade's fourth anniversary.

As you may know, Mayor Breed issued an emergency order closing JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park to vehicle traffic in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The Board of Supervisors approved the permanent ordinance two years later and Mayor Breed signed legislation ensuring that JFK Promenade remained vehicle-free on May 7, 2022.

Since then, dozens of improvements were made to JFK Promenade, including easier access for seniors and people with disabilities, additional parking spots, and a free shuttle along the route. Mayor Breed's vision of an open space enjoyed by a wide range of visitors was realized.

In November 2022, San Francisco voters supported the earlier legislation, making the renamed 'JFK Promenade' a permanent car-free space where people of all ages can walk, cycle, scoot, skate, run, and find joy.

Today, JFK Promenade stands as a testament to the vibrancy and joy of San Francisco. Its art installations, live music, pianos, seating, lawn games, adirondack chairs, and easy access are not just amenities but symbols of our community's spirit.

Mayor Breed is justifiably proud of this significant accomplishment. It shows what can be done to improve our city by working together with a shared vision. Mayor Breed and the community understood the importance of protecting the Promenade and, together, made it permanent.

That's the kind of leadership San Francisco needs, John. We must work together on shared goals with a common purpose: to improve our city and the lives of every San Franciscan. We are grateful for your past support, and we need it again today to help London Breed secure another term as Mayor. Your contribution is invaluable to our community's progress.
