At 19th and Valencia. Captured here by DocPop.

SF Appeal says only minor injuries. (whew!)

Second pic sent in by tipster Ben, who writes “The other car involved, a hybrid honda civic, came out relatively unscathed. Yet another tragic story of when hybrid drag racing goes wrong.”

My husband was recently in a collision on his motorcycle with an ambulance that ran a light before activating their siren/lights. He will eventually recover, but is out of commission for some months. The accident was on June 10 around 4p at the intersection of 16th St. & Potrero Ave.

The police were called, but we are still trying to find any witnesses that might have seen something.

Please leave a comment below or write to contact@missionmission.org if you might be able to help.

UPDATE: The above video is just for illustrative purposes.

SFist was there:

[I]f the scene we observed Tuesday evening was any indication, even the mothers with small children who frequent the park solely for wholesome jungle-gym purposes share something in common with the rowdy PBR-swilling, fixie-stacking folks to the north, who are fond of anarchist graffiti. They totally cut a hole in the fence within like 24 hours (not visible, at right), and then just went ahead and mowed down a section of the fence so they could get back in!

The question is, when they fence off hipster hill to fix the drainage later in the year, will us rowdy PBR-swilling, fixie-stacking folks trample the fence in order to sit in mucky grass like we usually do? Read on.

Diggin’ out that jungle gym! I wonder where it’s gonna go.

Slightly used, only a handful of bedbugs. Southwest corner of 19th and Hampshire.

Spotted between 22nd and 23rd, in front of Zaytoon and The Crepe House.

• New parklet coming to Valencia Street
• PARKing Day in Pictures
• Gutter Lego

The closures we mapped out last week aren’t the only changes coming soon to Dolores Park. More improvements (and more closures) are in the works, and tomorrow evening you can get involved with the decision-making process:

Thursday, June 2nd

6:30-8:30pm

Mission High School Cafeteria

On Thursday, June 2nd at 6:30, the community will gather for the first of a series of workshops to plan the renovation of Dolores Park.  Everyone is invited to participate.  At this first workshop, community members will brainstorm a wish list for park improvements and tour the park to create a shared analysis of what needs to be improved.

Further info here.

Dolores Park Works just published this map along with official details on the closures, which are mere weeks away. And some activity even starts this coming Monday:

Construction workers will be on-site between May 23rd and June 1st installing a new temporary access driveway into the park just south of the intersection of Dolores and 19th Street for use by service vehicles while the main driveway is closed for the playground construction project.  This construction activity will result in the installation of a temporary safety barricade immediately around the area of work. Bauman Landscape Construction is expected to begin staging and performing pre-construction activities during the first week of June.
