Responsibilities

The Board of Directors Search Committee for the Board Secretary was an ad hoc committee which met in 2020. The committee was chaired by Gwyneth Borden. Other members were: Cheryl Brinkman and Amanda Eaken. 

The committee’s scope of work was as follows:

• Approve the job description for the Board Secretary
• Interview qualified candidates and 
• Recommend individuals to the SFMTA Board for consideration

The Advisory Council shall be the central City-sponsored community advisory board charged with providing input to the MTA,  the Department of Public Works, and the Police Department ("Other City Departments") and decision-makers regarding allocation of monies in the Mission Bay Transportation Improvement Fund (the "Fund"), established in Administrative Code Section 10.100-364, for Required Uses, as defined in that section. The Advisory Council shall be advisory, as appropriate, to the MTA and the Board of Supervisors. The Advisory Council shall perform the following functions as needed:

a.) Collaborate with the MTA, other City departments, and the Ballpark/Mission Transportation Coordinating Committee on prioritizing the community improvement measures for Required Uses and identifying implementation details as part of the annual budget process;

b.) Recommend to the MTA uses of the Designated Overlapping event Reserve, as defined in Administrative Code Section 10.100-364;

c.) Collaborate with the MTA and Other City Departments and decision-makers, including the Ballpark/Mission Bay Transportation Coordinating Committee, in the monitoring of the uses of the Fund for the purpose specified in Administrative Code Section 10.100-364; and

d.) Review  travel time data collected by the MTA for routes to he Event Center to determine if traffic conditions associated with the Event Center, especially when there are weekday evening overlapping events with large attendance at the Event Center and AT&T Park, should entail additional City actions and expenditures from the Fund or the Designated Overlapping Event Reserve, and make recommendations to the MTA on additional actions and expenditures.

July 10, 2026:  As the Potrero Yard Modernization Project moves into the construction phase of the bus yard component, we will be focusing on construction updates to local residents and businesses near the site — those who will be most impacted. This change in outreach focus means the work that the Neighborhood Working Group was set up for has reached a natural conclusion. Therefore, the Neighborhood Working Group as a body has disbanded as of July 10, 2026.  

The project team feels fortunate to have worked with the members of the Working Group and we want to express our gratitude and admiration for their interest and involvement in the project.

The Neighborhood Working Group 

The SFMTA is working with a diverse group of neighbors, stakeholders, and SFMTA employees to plan for the modernization of Potrero Yard.

The Potrero Yard Neighborhood Working Group brings together community members to work with SFMTA staff and the Potrero Neighborhood Collective (PNC) developer team to shape public outreach, weigh in on elements of the project design, and inform the design and program of joint development (housing above the yard).

Feedback from the Working Group ensures that diverse viewpoints are considered and incorporated into the decision making for Potrero Yard.
