Update: Pro-bike and housing candidates win Uptown Planners election
A major victory on March 5, 2019, for RISE UP TOWN, a slate of seven pro-housing, pro-biking, pro-walking, pro-transit candidates on the ballot for Uptown Planners board. This race offered a rare opportunity to shift the direction of this community board by bringing pro-housing/biking voices to a majority on the board. BikeSD members and allies who live (or owns a business or property) in Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Bankers Hill, UC Medical area, Middletown, and University Heights were urged to come out and vote.
