Mayor Breed pitches November bond with $104.5 million for hospitals and public spaces
Summary
Mayor London Breed addressed the Board of Supervisors about a proposed November bond to fund public health, shelters, street safety and economic revitalization; she said recent amendments and budget investments would fund more than $104.5 million in capital improvements at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and Laguna Honda hospitals.
Mayor London Breed told the Board of Supervisors on June 11 she and several supervisors have introduced a November bond measure to invest in public health infrastructure, family shelter, street safety and economic revitalization across San Francisco.
Breed thanked sponsoring supervisors and President Aaron Peskin for collaboration and said the proposal has been adjusted through the legislative process. "Last week, we announced amendments to the bond along with new budget investments that combined will fund over a $104,500,000 in capital improvements at Zuckerberg General Hospital and Laguna Honda Hospital," she said, noting the money would support licensing, certification and long-term care capacity.
Breed framed the bond as broader economic investment as well as a health measure, saying dollars for public spaces and downtown improvements drive tourism and the local economy that funds city services. She cited specific public-space projects including Harvey Milk Plaza and an improved downtown holiday plaza as examples of the bond—s non-health components.
The mayor closed by thanking supervisors who cosponsored the bond and describing the administration—s intention to take the measure to voters in November.
Board members acknowledged the mayor—s presentation; the special order concluded and the matter was filed after public comment for subsequent consideration in the legislative process.
