Summary:      SFMTA has proposed to reduce the frequency of runs on/to Treasure Island.  This will greatly impact our lives.  Good Neighbors has taken the lead in circulating petitions, attending meetings, and lobbying officials and MTA to rescind the proposed cuts. We have had much support from members,  residents, TIDA, TIHDI, Catholic Charities, Swords to Plow plowshares, Job Corps, the Y, Walden House, and others in making our point that since we live on an island and the 108 is, for many of us, our main way on to and off the Island, the proposed changes will disproportionally  affect us.  To date, we have collected 300 signatures on our petition (attached) and have attended several meetings of various organizations to raise awareness of our concerns
