The 115-Year History of Streetcars on Market Street

The 115-Year History of Streetcars on Market Street By Jeremy Menzies With the F Market & Wharves returning to service on May 15th, here’s a brief look back through the past 115 years of streetcar service along Market Street, our most traveled thoroughfare. May 2, 1906 was the first day that an electric streetcar ran on Market Street. After the earthquake and fires on April 18, 1906, San Francisco was eager to rebuild, and public transit played a crucial role in getting the city back on its feet. Prior to electric streetcars, transit on Market was dominated by cable cars, which ran from the Ferry Building to the Pacific Ocean, but were considered slow and inefficient compared to the newer electric streetcar technology. With the introduction of electric cars on Market Street, people had a faster way to get to downtown businesses and rebuild from the ashes of the disaster.

Show HN: Paragon Connect (YC W20) – Plaid for SaaS Apps https://ift.tt/3xL8U9I

Show HN: Paragon Connect (YC W20) – Plaid for SaaS Apps We're Brandon and Ishmael, co-founders of Paragon (https://useparagon.com). We're building a platform to makes it easy to integrate your product with other SaaS apps like Salesforce / HubSpot / Slack. To share a little backstory, we started with a slightly different product (https://ift.tt/2xgY7K3) and decided to build Paragon Connect after hearing so many customer requests for this specific use case. If you’re a B2B software company, your customers have probably asked “does your product integrate with Salesforce / Slack / HubSpot / Jira / QuickBooks / etc.?” But building integrations in-house is a big lift - learning the differences between each vendor’s API and authentication methods, managing user tokens, and building the UI for users to manage their integrations can take months of engineering. Companies we talked to consistently shared this pain point with us, so we wanted to try creating a 'Plaid-like' experie

Join Us in Transforming Evans Avenue

Join Us in Transforming Evans Avenue By Adrienne Heim Pedestrian crossing Evans Avenue at Napoleon Street This month we are reaching out to community groups and businesses along Evans Avenue for feedback on making this corridor safer and more inviting for everyone, by means of a Quick-Build project .  Entering Evans Avenue from Cesar Chavez Street eastbound toward the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood, the street offers an unusual prospect for a corridor in San Francisco. Passing under freeway lanes and railway tracks, past industrial parks, retail and government buildings, the street eventually connects to Heron’s Head Park at Jennings Street. Named after Robley D. Evans, a Commander in the U.S. Navy from 1864-1908, Evans Avenue served as one of three vital routes into the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard when it was operating from 1940 to 1974. Between Cesar Chavez and 3rd streets, the roadway consists of two travel lanes in both directions. The average traffic volume along this 0

To support San Francisco’s economic recovery and reopening as tourism returns, the SFMTA will bring back the long-awaited F Market & Wharves historic streetcars on Saturday, May 15, between Fisherman’s Wharf and Castro and Market streets seven days a week.
