City Hall Bulletin: New EV Legislation, Health Alerts, and Transit Advisories for March 11
Official City Notices for Wednesday, March 11, 2026
As San Francisco moves through the second week of March, several critical administrative updates, health advisories, and infrastructure notices have been issued by city departments. Residents are encouraged to review these official announcements to stay informed on local governance and public safety.
Legislative and Administrative Updates
On March 10, 2026, Mayor Daniel Lurie, in partnership with Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman, introduced landmark legislation aimed at legalizing curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging. The proposed program establishes a formal permitting pathway for the installation of chargers on city curbs, particularly targeting renters and residents in multi-unit buildings who lack private charging access. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) will oversee power safety and reliability for these new installations.
In other legislative news, the Board of Supervisors has officially designated March 2026 as both Women’s History Month and Iranian American Heritage Month in the City and County of San Francisco. Additionally, the Police Commission has issued a public notice confirming that its regular meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, has been canceled. The next regular session is slated for March 18 in City Hall, Room 400.
Health and Safety Advisories
The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) continues to maintain an active advisory regarding an increase in severe mushroom poisonings across the Bay Area. Residents are urged to avoid consuming wild mushrooms foraged from local parks and forests. Furthermore, following a regional advisory from the city of Berkeley on March 8, health officials are monitoring cases of mumps reported at Berkeley High School. While no community spread has been identified within San Francisco, local healthcare providers have been advised to remain vigilant for symptomatic patients.
Infrastructure and Transit Impacts
The Transbay Howard Streetscape Project remains a primary focus for public works this week. Construction activity continues on Howard Street between The Embarcadero and 4th Street. Drivers and cyclists should expect intermittent lane closures and delays on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as crews install new safety upgrades, traffic signals, and landscaping. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes where possible to avoid congestion near the Moscone Center.
Public Meetings and Hearings
For residents involved in property tax or assessment disputes, the Assessment Appeals Board No. 1 will convene a public hearing today, Wednesday, March 11, at 1:30 p.m. in City Hall, Room 405. These meetings are open to the public, and agendas are available through the Board of Supervisors’ legislative portal.
