Biography | Senator Scott Wiener
Among them are SB 35 and 423, landmark laws to expedite housing permits, which have resulted in thousands of new affordable homes in San Francisco; SB 4, which allows faith institutions and nonprofit colleges to build affordable housing on their land by-right, without any discretionary approval process; SB 10, which provides a powerful tool for local governments to zone for more housing more quickly; SB 828, which required California cities to plan for much more housing than they had previously; SB 886, which streamlines and accelerates student housing production across the state; SB 922, which expedites approval of rapid bus lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian safety projects; SB 855, which made California the national leader in mental health and addiction treatment access by requiring insurance companies to cover all medically necessary treatments; SB 822, which enacted the strongest net neutrality protections in the nation; SB 1045 and SB 40, which expanded and strengthened California’s conservatorship laws to help individuals who are living on our streets with severe mental health and substance use disorders; SB 253, a first-in-the-nation climate law which requires corporations to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions; SB 379, which required cities to implement instant, app-based permitting for solar and energy storage systems; SB 700, the largest investment in clean energy storage in California history; SB 923, which modernized California’s eyewitness identification standards to ensure innocent people are not sent to prison; SB 136, which reduced mass incarceration by repealing California’s most commonly used sentence enhancement; SB 73, which ended mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses; SB 107, which provided refuge for trans kids and their families in California so they can avoid criminal prosecution for seeking or allowing gender-affirming care in states like Texas and Alabama; SB 407, which ensures foster families provide affirming environments for LGBTQ foster youth; SB 219, which protects LGBTQ seniors in long-term care facilities; SB 159, which allowed pharmacists to provide PrEP and PEP (powerful HIV prevention medications) without a physician’s prescription; and SB 132, which required prisons to house transgender incarcerated individuals according to where they’re safest (for example, by gender identity).
Senator Wiener has been recognized by respected community organizations for his work. Larkin Street Youth Services honored Senator Wiener for his work to combat youth homelessness in California.
FAQs • Development Services - Small Cell Wireless Facilities
In the meantime, the Town will continue to review applications consistent with its Wireless Ordinance and existing federal law. In addition to the FCC Order, cities in California are also keeping an eye on a case pending in the California Supreme Court.  In that case (T-Mobile West v. City and County of San Francisco), the court will decide whether San Francisco’s ordinance regulating wireless installations in the public right of way based on aesthetics is preempted by state law.  The court will likely rule in this case during the first half of 2019.

What Happens if I Miss My Court Date?

Failure to appear or to resolve a citation on or before the due date may result in a DMV hold being placed on your driver's license. Your bail may also be increased and a Civil Assessment imposed. A DMV hold will restrict your driving privileges and/or ability to register a vehicle. The citation may also be referred to a collection agency for the collection of payments due. In addition, the court may deem your failure to appear as an election to proceed with the case by trial by written declaration pursuant to Vehicle Code section 40903.
Attention: Failure to pay your fine may result in increased financial penalties.

Pursuant to Penal Code 1214.1, ". . . the court may impose a civil assessment of $100 against any defendant who fails, after notice and without good cause, to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law or who fails to pay all or any portion of a fine ordered by the court."
Acceptable good cause is defined as written proof of medical incapacitation, hospitalization, incarceration, or out-of-state military duty. Proof must be verifiable and written on appropriate letterhead stationery.
Failure to respond within 15 days of a Civil Assessment notice will result in the entry of a civil judgment and referred to collection.
California Transportation Plan Updates | Caltrans

2019 Grant Program Highlight | Office of Traffic Safety
The project was a 2019 BEST Award winner in the “Creative and Innovative” category by American Public Works Association (APWA) Southern California Chapter. Other agencies are following suit, looking at how they can start a similar education program in their community.

Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) “Go Human” Campaign
SCAG’s “Go Human” traffic safety advertising campaign focused on messages encouraging drivers to look out for bicyclists and pedestrians and re-envision neighborhoods that are safe for all modes of transportation. As part of the Go Human program, SCAG developed and used portable “Kit-of-Parts” allowing cities to test street designs that improve traffic safety, such as curb extensions, pedestrian refuge islands and protected bike lanes. The Kit-of-Parts were rolled out at six open streets events across the six-county SCAG region – Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties – during the 2019 grant year.
 
 
 

UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) Complete Streets Safety Assessments
Complete Streets Safety Assessments (CSSAs) examine areas for local agencies that are in need of infrastructure improvements to make them more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. The assessments offer suggestions to cities that can be incorporated into master plans or to apply for project funding. The reports focus on safety improvements like signal equipment and timing, sign and pavement markings, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, as well as school zones, intersection and roadway design. CSSAs were conducted in eight cities across the state during the 2019 grant year.
 
 

City of San Jose Department of Transportation E-Scooter and Older Pedestrian Education Campaigns
With the emergence of electric scooters as another mobility option, the city of San Jose developed “Scootorial” tip cards for e-scooter riders explaining the rules, as well as how to ride safely and responsibly. In addition, the city rolled out a pedestrian safety campaign targeting older populations who use public transit. Banners were made and put up on light poles along major intersections, as well as bus tails on local transit buses. The safety messages encouraged drivers to slow down and be aware of older pedestrians.
