This week the San Francisco Board of Supervisors gave the final approval for the Balboa Reservoir Project, the housing development planned for the Upper Balboa Reservoir located south of Sunnyside next to City College. The project will have 1100 units of housing, including 550 units of affordable housing, about 100 market-rate houses, 150 units for educators, a central two-acre park, childcare facilities, a community room for public use, and other features.

The approval marks the end of a five-year-long process that encompassed regular community engagement. SNA and Sunnyside residents regularly participated in meetings of the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee.  The committee was initiated in 2015 by President Norman Yee, supervisor for District 7 where the site is located.

Detroit Steps Cleanup Day

On Sunday August 9th, a crew of dedicated volunteers again met to tackle the weed growth on the Upper Steps north of Monterey Blvd. They also worked on installing some terracing on the steeply sloped narrow strip that flanks the stairway. This is the beginning of developing a larger landscaping and viewing area. A big thank-you to Bart, Sebastian, Daryl, and Ian for their hard work. This local community project will help make Sunnyside shine.
