"Bring back the #7 bus."
"Open a Turkish food restaurant with sofa."
"Nude Fridays."
These are just a few of the suggestions which have been submitted to ihaightsf.org, a new project soliciting ideas on how to improve Haight Street.
The org's organizers are dropping off blank, stamped postcards at a few sites in both the Upper and Lower Haights, including Cafe International. Anyone with a complaint, suggestion, or opinion is encouraged to fill out a postcard and send it in, after which it'll be scanned and posted on the website. (You can also upload ideas directly to the site itself.) As the website says...

The goals of the ihaightsf.org postcard campaign are to elevate the voices of the community, share great ideas, and inspire people to act. The postcards are intended to be catalysts for creativity, dialogue, passion, and leadership. Submit a postcard that describes your ideas on how to build a vibrant neighborhood, one that elicits pride and passion. After you peruse the other postcards, make your or someone else's idea a reality. Let us know what happens!So far, submissions have a decidedly Upper Haightian focus. (Perhaps because there's less to complain about in the Lower Haight?) But if there's something about our neighborhood that you'd like to change, this seems like as good a way as any to get it off your chest!
