We, the residents, community members and patrons of businesses, nonprofits and arts organizations in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco would like to voice our support for the removal of parking on the Northern side of Eddy Street between Mason and Taylor Streets.

This block of Eddy Street is a major location for Tenderloin street drug dealing and we believe that a trial removal of parking on the Northern side of the block will disrupt the drug activity that uses these parked cars to hide drug sales and use. Parking was removed from Turk Street, one block away, and drug activity significantly declined. We hope to replicate that experience on Eddy Street and increase safety and improve the quality of life on the block.
