San Francisco District 3 supervisor Aaron Peskin recently reintroduced a resolution strongly urging the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board of Directors to name the Central Subway’s new Chinatown station after the late political power broker Rose Pak.

Many San Francisco residents have called for the city’s Board of Supervisors not to name the station after Pak because of her alleged corruption and ties with communist China. Families and other community members who have made prominent contributions to the Chinatown community have spoken out against the resolution. The Chinatown Merchants Association is one of them.
