While the event is not
officially sanctioned, Board
of Supervisors President
London Breed and City
agencies, including Public
Works, worked hard to keep
the crowds safe and minimize
problems in the park and
surrounding neighborhoods.
The Recreation and Park
Department and the Police
Department handled the
bulk of the work. The Fire
Department, the Municipal
Transportation Agency and
the Department of Public
Health also were involved.
And for the first time, a group
of Haight Street merchants
stepped up to provide
additional safety measures,
including security, medical
personnel and portable
bathrooms. Rules, including no
open fires, no glass bottles, no
drug sales and adults-only, also
were enforced.
Public Works supplied
barricades to help with
traffic control in the Haight.
We also had about a dozen
street cleaners on the ground,
picking up litter, steam
cleaning the sidewalks and
flushing down the streets for a
deep cleaning once the crowds
subsided.
