The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is facing criticism for violating the Brown Act by altering a $1.5 million no-bid contract with the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (SF Bike) without proper notice. The contract, initially set for five years, was shortened to three years during a hearing. This procedural misstep has led to calls for the dismissal of SFMTA Director Jeffrey Tumlin, who was previously fired from his job in Santa Monica. Nearly 400 people have petitioned Mayor London Breed to remove Tumlin from his position. Additionally, some San Francisco business owners are calling for Tumlin's dismissal.

At last check, nearly 400 people are asking San Francisco's Mayor London Breed to fire the city's transportation director Jeffrey Tumlin. https://t.co/hzzhoZZLap
He needs to go @MarkFarrellSF @LondonBreed @DanielLurie https://t.co/3Om2GAZ5xl
Why @LondonBreed hired @jeffreytumlin — who was fired from his last job in Santa Monica — is beyond me. SFMTA violated the Brown Act by switching up a $1.5 million no-bid contract to lobbyists @sfbike. Petition below ⬇️ https://t.co/hJnGmwn68h
The SFMTA violated the Brown Act: Agenda posted @sfbike contract over 5 years. To shorten it to 3 years at the hearing fails the notice requirement. @jeffreytumlin was fired from his job in Santa Monica. He should be fired now. Petition 👇 https://t.co/fDhGDmLf96
