Balboa Reservoir Project CAC Meeting, Dec 12th

The Balboa Reservoir Project is a very large proposed development that will impact life for residents in Sunnyside (more here). Housing and park space are planned for the now undeveloped land to the west of City College. The Community Advisory Committee (BRCAC) is an unprecedented new aspect of development in San Francisco–and a vital part of deciding what that project will look like going forward. You can be a part of that process–BRCAC meetings are open to all community members.

The next meeting of the Community Advisory Committee is Monday, December 12th 2016. More about the meeting here. It will be held at City College of San Francisco, Multi-Use Building, Room 140, 55 Phelan Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. 6:15pm. To contact Committee Chair Lisa Spinali, email  BalResCACChair@gmail.com.

The process for selecting a developer for the site has begun. Here’s the timeline:

Sunnyside is adopting storm drains!

The Adopt-a-Drain program from SF Water Power Sewer, aimed at keeping corner flooding to a minimum, has taken off in Sunnyside. The number of drains adopted by local residents in our neighborhood has grown in the last few months from just a couple to now 20 32 and counting. See the map and adopt your own local storm drain before the rains return: https://adoptadrain.sfwater.org/.  There are plenty of corners still unclaimed! And you can even name your drain — names already on the map: “Lady Bug 1” “Thirsty Pete” “Bassett’s Folly” — or use your favorite icon.

SNA Quarterly Meeting

Tonight Sunnyside Neighborhood Association holds its quarterly general meeting. All Sunnyside residents are welcome. 7-8:30 pm in the St Finn Barr Auditorium (415 Edna Street).

We will be discussing the recent injury collisions on Monterey Blvd (more here and here), and how we can make positive changes for increased safety on our main street. More on this issue from Friends of Monterey Blvd.

The agenda also includes a representative from SFPUC about the sewer modernization program, a representative from the ballot initiative ‘Housing Not Tents,’ and a representative from SF Housing Action Coalition speaking about the Affordable Housing Bonus Program. Some of these are contentious issues, and we hope you will bring your questions.

We will be hearing updates from the Balboa Reservoir Project Community Advisory Committee and our new liaison to City College as it finalizes the Facilities Master Plan.

We will also hold a raffle — prizes courtesy local merchants and more… Light refreshments served.

Many new members have joined SNA over the previous months — but we have also had many new followers of this blog — people who are interested but who aren’t yet members. We invite you to come to the meeting and join SNA — and be a part of community-building in our neighborhood. (You can also join online here.)
