This Saturday we’re joining the Potrero Neighborhood Collective (PNC) developer team to host a community open house for the Potrero Yard Modernization Project, the nation’s first joint development of a bus facility with integrated housing and retail. Learn about how we’re improving transit by replacing a century-old bus yard with a modern facility, as well as addressing SF’s need for affordable housing. Please join us to view the latest designs and give your input on this groundbreaking project.

Join us! Reimaging Potrero Yard. Saturday, March 18, 2023, 1-3 p.m. KQED, 2601 Mariposa Street, SF. (Conceptual rendering from Arcadis IBI Group)

Topics we need community input on include:

Streetscape on 17th Street: What type of amenities and activities would you like to see on 17th Street to create a welcoming environment?
Spaces for small businesses & non-profits: What kind of neighborhood organizations or businesses would you visit? What type of street vendors would you like to see?
Landscaping choices along sidewalks: Creative landscaping can greatly improve the vibrancy and safety of spaces. We want your ideas — including which tree species you’d like to see.
Look and feel of the building: Do you have ideas on building materials? Let us know what colors, textures and artistic elements you’d like to see on the new structure.
Public art: Art in the public realm can enliven spaces and capture the essence of unique neighborhood characteristics. The project’s Public Art strategy will be developed with input from the community. Learn more at our upcoming informational presentation to the SF Arts Commission Civic Design Review Committee on Monday, March 20.

At the end of 2022, we selected the Potrero Neighborhood Collective to partner with the city and launch the current predevelopment agreement phase. This period lasts roughly 18 months. The Potrero Yard Modernization Project has always considered transparency and open dialogue to be key as we partner with the community to bring this project forward. The project would not be where it is today without that community partnership. This open house is an opportunity to help shape the project’s design before we break ground in 2024.

New top story from Time: Blast Outside Kabul Airport Kills 2, Wounds 15, Russia Says

https://ift.tt/3yjY6hU KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide attack outside Kabul’s airport Thursday killed at least 2 people and wounded 15, Russian officials said. Large crowds of people have massed outside the airport as they try to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Western nations had warned earlier in the day of a possible attack at the airport in the waning days of a massive airlift. Suspicion for any attack targeting the crowds would likely fall on the Islamic State group and not the Taliban, who have been deployed at the airport’s gates trying to control the mass of people. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The Pentagon confirmed the blast, and Russian Foreign Ministry gave the official casualty count. The explosion went off in a crowd of people waiting to enter the airport, according to Adam Khan, an Afghan waiting nearby. He said several people appeared to have been killed or wounded, including some who lost body parts. Several countries urged people to avoid t...

https://ift.tt/3kI4IBO Whether you know it as vacation season, hurricane season or wildfire season, August is a time when our natural surroundings can take on outsize importance in our daily lives. The same is true of this month’s best new TV shows, each of which conjures a vivid sense of place, from the brick edifices and manicured lawns of East Coast academia to the flat expanses of an Oklahoma reservation to desolate, gray beaches in France’s Nantes region. There are also two very different takes on a city that contains multitudes: New York. For more suggestions, here’s some of my favorite TV from July , June and the first half of 2021 .

New top story from Time: Half of U.S. Workers Favor Employee COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates, Poll Finds

https://ift.tt/3kqAHXc (NEW YORK) — Half of American workers are in favor of vaccine requirements at their workplaces, according to a new poll , at a time when such mandates gain traction following the federal government’s full approval of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that about 59% of remote workers favor vaccine requirements in their own workplaces, compared with 47% of those who are currently working in person. About one-quarter of workers — in person and remote — are opposed. The sentiment is similar for workplace mask mandates, with 50% of Americans working in person favoring them and 29% opposed, while 59% of remote workers are in favor. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] About 6 in 10 college graduates, who are more likely to have jobs that can be done remotely, support both mask and vaccine mandates at their workplaces, compared with about 4 in 10 workers without college degrees.

New top story from Time: Delta Air Lines Is Charging Unvaccinated Employees $200 Insurance Fee. Will It Work?

https://ift.tt/3BnqAtb As the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, more companies are starting to require coronavirus vaccines for their employees. But this week, Delta Air Lines chose a different tactic when it became the first major U.S. company to say it will charge more for health insurance if employees do not get vaccinated. Some may see this as a compromise between vaccine mandates and more positive incentives, but experts say it could be complicated to execute and that there’s no way to tell how effective it will be. The move represents the tricky calculus employers are being forced to make as they try to keep employees safe and their companies running while avoiding the worker shortages hitting some industries. It also comes as vaccinated individuals around the country are blaming unvaccinated people for surging daily case numbers, resulting in increased hospitalizations, deaths, a return to mask-wearing and social-distancing measures, among other conseque...

New top story from Time: Deadly Bombing Marks a Tragic Turning Point in Joe Biden’s Afghanistan Exit

https://ift.tt/3kKm69l As President Joe Biden’s Aug. 31 deadline to leave Afghanistan neared, the Abbey Gate entrance to the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul took on near-mythic status among Afghans and U.S. citizens trying to flee the country amid a crackdown by the newly victorious Taliban . For days, large crowds gathered at all hours to push themselves and their families toward the dun-colored gap in the blast walls, waving their papers and trying to get onto the airport grounds. Some waded through a sewage laden canal to make it to the gate, desperately pursuing the promise of escape. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] On Aug. 26 that promise turned to tragedy. At around 5 pm Kabul time, explosions rocked Abbey Gate and a nearby hotel where Americans and Afghans had been meeting to be escorted inside the airport. The explosions killed 13 U.S. service members, injured 18 Americans and killed at least 60 Afghans . In a video of the carnage shared with TIME, b...
