San Francisco Mayor London Breed and all 11 members of the Board of Supervisors chose to either decline or donate their pay raises this year, amid a huge city budget deficit that may force layoffs and service cuts.
Breed initially asked the city’s labor unions to delay their wage increases this year as the city grappled with a $1.5 billion budget deficit. But the supervisors later approved a budget that gave all city employees a 3.5% salary increase, which kicks in Saturday.

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority Board approved the Page Street Neighborway project Tuesday morning, which includes six sidewalk extensions (three at Buchanan, one at Laguna, and two at Gough), four rain gardens, and the city’s first raised intersection (shown in the lead image) at Page and Buchanan Streets.
“This project represents the kind of solution our city needs more of to calm traffic and protect people in the crosswalk,” said Jodie Medeiros, Executive Director of Walk San Francisco, in a statement. “Walk SF pushed strongly for this and are eager for this to set a higher bar for safe intersections.”
