There are so many Lower Haight-related events in the next week or so, we had to roll them up into one post.
Fell and Oak Street Bike Lanes – Community Meeting
From 6:30pm to 8pm at the San Francisco Day School, 350 Masonic Ave at Golden Gate.
Want separated bike lanes on Fell and Oak Streets between Scott and Baker? Attend tonight’s meeting, which won’t be the last, “but it is by far the most important.” Check out this Facebook event page for more info.
Haighteration & Blockboard Happy Hour
From 5pm to 7pm at Mad Dog in the Fog, 530 Haight Street
Come mingle with your neighbors over some free beer, courtesy of Blockboard. The first 100 slots sold out pretty quickly, so we’ll be opening up 50 more at 3pm today (Tuesday)! Register on Eventbrite to get in, then make sure you install the Blockboard app to get free beer. Don’t have an iPhone? Don’t worry — you’ll be able to earn yourself some free beer by answering a few Lower Haight trivia questions. A good time shall be had by all — don’t miss it!

14th Annual Duboce Park Tag Sale
9am to 2pm at Duboce Park
Come find treasures, meet neighbors, and support your local park! Proceeds from the annual event are used for improvements to Duboce Park — specifically, this year, the Youth Play Area.

Duboce Park Landmark District – Community Workshop
7pm at CPMC’s Gazebo Meeting Room
Have a strong feeling one way or the other about whether Duboce Park should be named a landmark district? Then attend this community workshop, which is described as your chance to “provide input on the unique character of the district and how to best protect that character.” More info here.
124-128 Fillmore S.R.O. – Planning Department Hearing
12pm at City Hall, Room 400
The proposed S.R.O. at 124-128 Fillmore faces a hearing before the Planning Department. The project aims to convert 3 four-bedroom flats into one 15-room residential hotel, but has met resistance from concerned neighbors and lacks support from the planning department. This hearing will determine what happens with the project, so if you have an opinion, this is your chance to voice it. You can find out more about the project here.
District 5 Mayoral Candidates Forum
7pm at UCSF’s Cole Hall, 513 Parnassus
No fewer than 11 neighborhood groups have banded together to sponsor this mayoral forum, expected to focus on issues of concern to our neck of the woods. The event will be moderated by Carolyn Tyler, Anchor/Reporter ABC7/KGO TV. Doors open at 6:30, and the forum (which is free) starts at 7pm.
