Resolution proclaiming October 2026 as the first “Walktober” in the City and County of San Francisco; and celebrating walking and encouraging San Franciscans and visitors to explore the City’s stairways, trails, parks, and public spaces on foot.
How it got here
The resolution to proclaim October 2026 as 'Walktober' originated from community efforts to promote walking in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Crosstown Trail was designed to create urban walking and biking routes across the city, laying the groundwork for community walking initiatives.
Supervisors Mandelman, Dorsey, Fielder, Sauter, Mahmood, and Sherrill introduced the resolution to celebrate walking and encourage exploration of the city's public spaces.
The resolution was referred for adoption without committee reference, indicating its routine and non-controversial nature.
The resolution is scheduled for adoption at the Board of Supervisors meeting, marking its progression towards official recognition.
