SAN FRANCISCO-The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency voted unanimously for its new president yesterday, selecting a woman who has just recently been named to the commission. Chantel Walker was nominated by Mayor Willie Brown and praised by two supervisors who formerly have been critical of some aspects of the Redevelopment Agency.

Walker, who is a community development and housing program officer for the Marin Community Foundation, replaces Michal Foriest Settles who quit within weeks of a controversial meeting during which she helped turn down a South of Market proposal.
