Hello Sunnyside neighbors!

We’ve received late notice of this important meeting slated for this Thursday.

If you’ve been following the ongoing developments at the City College of San Francisco Ocean Campus right next door to us, you’ll want to mark your calendars for a crucial meeting this week. On Thursday, June 25, the CCSF Board of Trustees will hold a meeting to consider the approval of the resolution to certify the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the proposed CCSF Parking Structure Project.

Here is what you need to know about the meeting and the proposed facility.

Meeting Details:

• When: Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 5:00 PM
• Where (In-Person): CCSF Ocean Campus, 50 Frida Kahlo Way, Harry Britt Building (HBB), Room 140 (formerly the Multi-Use Building).
• Where (Online): Join via Zoom at https://ccsf-edu.zoom.us/j/84764836783

What’s Proposed for the Garage?

City College is making preparations to build a massive, 200,000-square-foot parking structure on a 1.55-acre site located at 95 Frida Kahlo Way, situated between Riordan High School and the new STEAM building.

Here are the fast facts on the proposed facility based on the project’s current scope:

• Size & Capacity: The five-level above-ground structure is expected to hold between 641 and 650 vehicle spaces, accommodating students, faculty, and the public.
• Height: The garage will reach up to 52.5 feet to the parapet, or about 58 feet, factoring in the planned rooftop photovoltaic (solar) panels.
• Ground Floor Facilities: The street level fronting Frida Kahlo Way won’t just be for cars. It is slated to house the CCSF Police Department (approx. 4,000 sq ft) and Custodial Services (approx. 3,500 sq ft).
• Future-Proofing: Interestingly, the structure is being designed with “adaptive reuse” in mind. College officials have noted that floor-to-floor ceiling heights are being explored so that if autonomous vehicles or shifting transit habits eventually make the garage obsolete, the building could potentially be converted for other uses.
• Cost & Timeline: The project has an estimated price tag of $50 million, to be paid for via the 2020 Proposition A Bond. If approved and moving forward as planned, the college anticipates breaking ground in early 2027 for an 18-to-21-month construction period.
• The California Environmental Quality Act page is here.

How to Get Involved

Whether you have concerns about the construction process, questions about traffic and environmental impacts along Frida Kahlo Way, or support the addition of centralized parking to clear up neighborhood streets, this is the time to make your voice heard.

Let’s stay informed and engaged, Sunnyside!

The City of San Francisco has announced the launch of One City Day, a coordinated, city-wide volunteer initiative taking place on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The program aims to mobilize residents across all eleven districts to engage in local neighborhood improvement projects and foster civic responsibility.

The Sunnyside Neighborhood Association is highlighting the event and encouraging local participation, with two dedicated volunteer sites established right here in the neighborhood.

Event Schedule and District 7 Kickoff

The morning’s events are structured to combine district-level organizing with localized neighborhood action:

• 9:00 AM: District 7 Kickoff (Mt. Davidson Park) Volunteers from across District 7 will gather at Mt. Davidson Park for an opening program featuring brief remarks from city and community leaders. Complimentary coffee and donuts will be provided for attendees.
• 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM: Neighborhood Service Projects Following the kickoff, volunteers will deploy to their designated service sites to conduct cleanups and beautification efforts until noon.
• Post-Event Lunch City organizers have indicated that details regarding a complimentary post-event lunch gathering for participants will be released in the coming weeks.

Local Spotlight: Sunnyside Volunteer Sites

Organizers have established two primary service locations within Sunnyside. Residents are asked to register in advance to receive specific reporting details, logistics, and equipment recommendations.

1. Detroit Steps Cleanup and Maintenance

The Detroit Steps are the center of Sunnyside neighborhood activation and beautification. Volunteers will sweep the steps, weed the grounds, and pick up litter at and around the site.

All ages and skills welcome. Children should come with a parent.

• Register for the Detroit Steps Cleanup and Maintenance

2. Havelock Pedestrian Corridor

This project focuses on the revitalization of the Havelock corridor, involving weeding, clearing paths, and general landscaping to improve the vital neighborhood walkway.

• Register for the Havelock Site via Mobilize

On Friday, May 29, SNA board members conducted a localized “walk audit” of Monterey Boulevard, Bosworth Street, and the nearby Interstate 280 on- and off-ramps.

Walking alongside representatives from the SFMTA and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA), the group assessed the complex area to help guide the earliest stages of the upcoming Bosworth/Monterey Connections Quick-Build Project.

Why This Corridor? Why Now?

This crucial junction links Sunnyside and Glen Park, serving as a primary pipeline for commuters hitting the freeway, transit riders accessing the Glen Park BART station, and kids making their way to school. Because of its odd angles, heavy vehicle volumes, and tricky freeway interfaces, it has long been a source of anxiety for people walking, rolling, and driving through the neighborhood.

The quick-build project focuses on targeted steps to make it easier and safer to reach important neighborhood places, aiming to bridge the gaps between the Hearst, Arlington, and Cayuga Slow Streets.

Key Intersections Under Study

The joint tour focused heavily on the two primary conflict zones currently highlighted in the SFMTA project plans:

1. Monterey Blvd & Circular Ave

The Monterey & Circular intersection is heavily trafficked with odd angles. It’s a key point for people driving to and from I-280 and for those biking across town.

• The Problem: Eastbound Circular Avenue has a wide, unmarked lane, making it unclear where cars should position themselves. Because there are no dedicated bike lanes, cyclists must share the road with fast-moving cars. Furthermore, the westbound right-turn slip lane encourages rapid turns, creating frequent conflicts between drivers and cyclists right at the end of the off-ramp.

2. Bosworth St & Lyell St

The Bosworth & Lyell intersection is wide and allows for many types of turns, including direct left turns onto I-280 and Arlington Street.

• The Problem: It currently has no traffic signal—only painted lines to guide drivers. The eastbound right lane on Bosworth Street is often used as a de facto right-turn lane, pushing through traffic and buses abruptly into the left lane. Because there’s no crosswalk where most people want to cross to reach BART, many pedestrians resort to walking mid-block. Drivers entering the freeway suffer from limited visibility and may not yield to those crossing.

Your Voice Matters: Early Outreach is Starting

Because the Bosworth/Monterey Connections project is in its earliest planning phases, nothing has been set in stone yet. The walk audit was an essential step for city planners to hear firsthand from the community leaders who navigate these streets daily.

The project team is actively reviewing community feedback and exploring solutions like a protected bikeway along the San Jose Avenue ramp to connect Glen Park BART to the existing protected bikeway further east on San Jose Avenue.

SFMTA is currently planning broader community listening sessions and public outreach events. What neighbors share during this period will directly shape the design proposals before they head to a public hearing.

Stay tuned to the SNA website for updates on how you can participate in upcoming community workshops and voice your perspective on making Monterey and Bosworth safer for everyone.
