  1. I wish I’d known they were having a re-dedicated. I helped make that happen in the first place and co-designed those historical placard.

    Market Street Railway president Rich Laubscher had the been holding onto idea, so when streetcar 1051 appeared in the film Milk it seemed the perfect time to make it really happen. It was actually the trailer where I spotted No. 1051.

    When we started the ball rolling everyone along the way gave it a push, but the reason he is being honored on the streetcar is for his work advocating for Muni. Harvey Milk was the first Supervisor to start using then-new FastPass, but most the panels are about his other work.

    When we got the ball rolling everyone along the way was completely supportive. The trickiest bit was probably working the wording of the policy so the honoree had to have made significant contributions to Muni.

    It’s something I’m pretty proud and I’m very glad to see it back.
