During the April 24th quarterly meeting and the May 13th Balboa Reservoir Project special meeting, SNA surveyed attendees about their particular concerns about the new housing development. Although this survey indicates local concerns about the project, the most important thing residents can do to be heard and participate in the development process is to attend the public review on June 10, or the online follow-up. Details here.

Among the 56 respondents, the top concern was the effect that the project would have on traffic congestion. Parking issues came second, with open space/park space third.

Tomorrow, Saturday May 13, SNA is holding a special meeting to offer you information and a chance to ask questions about the Balboa Reservoir Project. The meeting is 10-11am at the Sunnyside Conservatory (236 Monterey Blvd near Baden).

Lisa Spinali, ex-SNA president and current chair of the Community Advisory Committee will be present, as well as representatives from SF Planning Dept to address your concerns.

Then, on Saturday June 10, plans crafted by the three developer finalists will be presented, and the public will have a chance to review and provide feedback. The comment process does not end there — there will be an online portal for feedback, as well as a place to submit written comments. Presentation will be held at 10am, Riordan High School, 175 Phelan Ave. More information here.

The project encompasses housing and public park space. There will be many impacts on the neighborhood, and community input has been a part of the process from the beginning in 2015. In this critical phase, all residents are welcome and encouraged to participate — it is not “too late” to have an impact!
