Balboa Reservoir Project: three ways to be involved
From SF Planning Dept about the Balboa Reservoir Project housing development.
This June, community members will have three chances to comment on the three finalists in the Balboa Reservoir request for proposals (RFP) process. All three opportunities will provide the same information. You can provide feedback in whichever venue is most convenient for you. For more information see the community portal at http://sfwater.org/balboa/community.
- June 10th: Presentation of Proposals
On Saturday, June 10 at 10am, in the Archbishop Riordan High School Cafeteria (175 Phelan Ave), the three finalist development teams will present their proposals, followed by discussion and comments. The meeting will also have refreshments, interpretation in Spanish and Cantonese, closed captioning and children’s activities. Please arrive early so you have time to sign in and get the most out of these activities.
- June 15th: Viewing of Presentations at the CAC
On Thursday, June 15th at 6pm, the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee (BRCAC) will view the video of the June 10th presentations, host a discussion, and provide opportunities for feedback on the developer proposals.
- Online: Recording of Presentations and Additional Materials
The June 10th video of the developer presentations will also be posted online, with the same opportunities for feedback as on June 10th or June 15th. All information will be posted on the Community Portal. Continue reading “Balboa Reservoir Project: three ways to be involved”

Editorial / Let the City Hear Your Voice
The city’s decision to hold just a single meeting for developers’ presentations in June when many neighbors are unable to attend is very problematic. The Balboa Reservoir project will have significant long-term ramifications on several neighborhoods and decisions must include adequate public input.
Although the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee (BRCAC) pushed hard for holding two meetings in August, Mayor Ed Lee’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) has insisted on scheduling just one meeting and having it on Saturday, June 10, right in the heart of graduation and wedding seasons.
