In a thinly-veiled attempt to make me love it, the Transbay Blog has a great article on how to get rid of the Central Skyway. That makes the Transbay Blog the latest voice calling for San Francisco to finish the good job it started when we knocked down the elevated structure North of Market Street.
I've called for this, and Streetsblog SF reported that the MTA has agreed to consider studying alternatives to the elevated skyway at the urging of superheroesque Tom Radulovich. Well, Transbay blog has an alternative worth considering.
I've got my own fantasy map that I'm working on polishing up, and I'm sure there are smart folks out there with their own great ideas for this miserable waste of space.
This is an issue that's important to me, and I hope it takes off!

Utah St Sidewalk Parking
Clearly it's street-sweeping day:
To report sidewalk parking in SF, call DPT at (415) 553-1200
Hit 1 for English
4 for "more options"
3 for "sidewalk parking"
You'll need to catch the address in front of which the car is parked. It's stupid and unnecessary, but DPT won't send someone out unless you give them the exact address. Local activist Carleigh notes that this is a blatant violation of ADA laws, so maybe mention that if you're given a hard time.
Also, it's worth going back a few days later to everyblock.com, which lists police reports by location, to check on how your report was resolved. And if you like, take a picture and upload it to Flickr with "pedestrianist" as a tag. I'll post it here along with any resolution or notes in the comment section.

One more reason to look forward to January
One of the best sources of livable streets news out there, NYC-based Streetsblog, is adding a third outlet to its expanding network - one I personally could not be happier about.
Streetsblog San Francisco will join the New York and LA chapters next month. This will give the Bay Area some of the best progressive transportation journalism in the world. Other well-renown local blogs include The Overhead Wire and Transbay Blog.
