Balboa Reservoir community walk

On May 20, 2018November 17, 2018 By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn Balboa Reservoir Project, CCSF, City College of San Francisco, Pedestrian Safety, TransitLeave a comment

Despite chilly winds last Thursday May 17, many local residents turned out for the community walk from the site of the proposed Balboa Reservoir housing project to the Balboa Park BART and MUNI Station, to evaluate the hazards to pedestrians and bicyclists. The aim of the developers and the City is to encourage more car-free transit use for new and existing residents in the area, but this particular route can be unpleasant and dangerous. There will be improvements to this route, including items already planned in SFMTA’s Ocean Avenue project. More about that here.

Many representatives were present from the AvalonBay/BRIDGE development team for the project, as well as from SFMTA and WalkSF, to take feedback and offer participants the chance to answer survey questions about various elements of this quarter-mile stretch of Ocean Ave. Developer website: http://www.balboareservoir.com/

It was a lively conversation. A great many on the walk participants were seasoned transit users with clear opinions about this infamous route to the Station. A reporter from the Ingleside-Excelsior Light was present.
