Sunset Spotlight/Police Blotter

Lots of Action in Sunset District Last Year
As 2010 came to an end, state Sen. Leland Yee announced his candidacy to become the mayor of San Francisco; the Baskin-Robbins on Irving Street closed; the PUC gathered feedback for a proposed treatment plant for recycled water in Golden Gate Park; neighbors were upset at the SF Recreation and Park Department for leasing the Murphy Clubhouse; and Safeway showed the public revised plans for its housing and supermarket plan at Ocean Beach.

Express Bus for N-Judah Extended Past Trial Period
The bus shuttle express that was introduced to supplement the Muni N-Judah streetcar line this past summer has been extended past its six-month trial period. The bus picks up passengers in the Outer Sunset and takes them directly downtown, and vice versa.
