SF mayor, other leaders in Chinatown call for support of earthquake bond on June ballot

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, other city leaders, and members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce gathered in Chinatown on Thursday morning to bolster support for a new earthquake preparedness bond on the June ballot.

If approved by voters, the Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response Bond — also known as Proposition A — would raise $535 million over the next 30 years that would finance the seismic retrofits of emergency service buildings, replace aging infrastructure, and fund an overhaul of the 110-year old Muni bus garage at Potrero Yard so public services in San Francisco remain operational after a major natural disaster.
