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:

Save Prop E! Save the tree-care measure!

On December 3, 2016December 6, 2016 By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn Greening, UncategorizedLeave a comment

One of the most popular propositions in the recent election is on the chopping block. Mayor Ed Lee has said he may axe Proposition E, a ballot measure that puts street trees under the care of the City, and which was passed by an overwhelming percentage of voters in November. More here from Friends of the Urban Forest, and at SF Chronicle.

If you think Prop E should be upheld, the ballot measure that means the city will care for street trees and the damage that they can do to sidewalks — our public space — then please consider emailing Mayor Ed Lee at mayoredwinlee@sfgov.org or call at (415) 554-6141.

Kurt Heilman has lived in San Francisco for more than 20 years.

He doesn’t reside in an iconic Victorian style house, one of the fresh new condominiums in Mission Bay or even in one of the single-room occupancy units that pepper the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods.
