    Space, place, and young injecting drug users in San Francisco by Peter J. Davidson DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Sociology in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO ii Copyright 2009 by Peter J. Davidson iii For Pete Morse, who is much missed... iv Acknowledgments There’s no way to truly list everyone who is somehow present in the room on the day a dissertation is filed. But here’s an attempt. Dissertations are in a way the embodiment of a lot of conversations. In a decade or more of working around and with people who are in some way engaged in the question of what it means to use (some) drugs in the early 21st century, there has been more conversations than I can remember. The following are people who I have clear memories of having the kind of conversations in which the way you think about something is fundamentally changed. UFO and friends of UFO: Alya Briceño, Alice Asher, Bob Thawley, Paula Lum, Judy Hahn, Jennifer Evans, John Day, Kyle Ranson, Martha Montgomery, Gina Limon, Caycee Cullen, Kim Pierce, Dante Brimer, Kristen Ochoa, Ivy McLeland, Andrew Moss, Clara Brandt, Gina Hobson, Noah Gaiser, Ro Giuliano, Pamela Axelson, Shanel Coleman, Bridget Prince, Erin Antunez, Sugar Edwards and Anne Cassia. San Francisco Needle Exchange: Everyone. But in particular, Mary Howe, Rachel McLean, Jennifer Dehen, and Steffan Haaby.

  • Executive Summary, 2012
    Central Freeway and Octavia DRAFT Circulation Study Final Report Executive Summary ES.1 Study Background The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (Authority), in cooperation with partner agencies and the community, undertook a study of transportation needs and opportunities in the Market‐Octavia district of San Francisco. The Central Freeway and Octavia Circulation Study (Circulation Study or Study) assessed transportation conditions and needs, advanced a multimodal improvement and policy strategy, and analyzed a number of potential circulation improvements in the Market‐Octavia neighborhood and along key corridors that provide access to the neighborhood. The Study’s recommendations include a set of near‐ to mid‐term improvements, as well as a strategy for longer‐term planning and policy development to address critical circulation issues within and beyond the Market‐Octavia area. The Study was made possible by a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), through the Station Area Planning Program with local match funding provide by the Prop K local transportation sales tax program. The Study was developed by a Study Team led by Authority staff with technical assistance from a consultant team led by CHS Consulting Group. Specifically, the Study focused on the effect of the Octavia Boulevard and Central Freeway replacement project, on circulation in and through the area. This transformative project opened to the traveling public in 2005. In conjunction with the development of the Boulevard project, the San Francisco Planning Department undertook the Market and Octavia Area Plan, which was approved in 2007, and sets the stage for the addition of 6,000 households and 3,000 jobs to the Market‐Octavia plan area.
