Balboa Reservoir Project CAC Meeting, Nov 14th

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, November 14th, 2016. More about the meeting here. It will be held at the Riordan High School Theater, 175 Phelan Ave, 6:15pm. To contact Committee Chair Lisa Spinali, email  BalResCACChair@gmail.com.
