Subject: Public Hearing - Hayes Valley Farmers Market

Dear Members of ISCOTT,

[Say what you would love about a Hayes Valley Farmers Market!]

I'm writing to express my support for a Hayes Valley Farmers Market on Hayes Street, Saturdays 7:00am - 3:00pm.

This proposal represents a thoughtful, low-impact activation of the public right-of-way that aligns with the City’s goals around safe streets, economic vitality, and community-oriented use of neighborhood corridors. A morning market is particularly well-suited to Hayes Street, as it activates the corridor during off-peak hours and complements—rather than conflicts with—existing commercial activity.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
