Current Events

Sunday Streets 2010
The 2010 Sunday Streets season will feature nine dates, longer hours (10:00-3:00) and extend into new communities, in addition to the return of the routes in the Fisherman's Wharf/Embarcadero, Bayview, Mission and Outer Sunset/Great Highway neighborhoods.

The three dates along the Blue Greenway will be:
Sunday, March 14: 10 am to 3 pm
Embarcadero from Fisherman's Wharf to King St at 3rd, 3rd St across Lefty O'Doul bridge to China Basin and Terry Francois Blvd to Mariposa/16th.

Area C/India Basin Community Workshops
Agency and Planning staff will hold two India Basin/Area C Sub-Area Plan Open House meetings:
-Wednesday March 3, 2010 6:00-8:00pm to discuss pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular circulation issues
-Wednesday March 24, 2010 6:00-8:00pm to discuss building heights

Both Open House meetings will be held at the Literacy for Environmental Justice offices located at 800 Innes Avenue, Suite 11. The Open House is set up for an informal discussion on the topics noted above, attendees can drop in anytime between 6:00-8:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided.

Sunday, April 18 and May 23: 10 am to 3 pm
King St at 3rd, 3rd St across bridge to China Basin and Terry Francois Blvd to Mariposa/16th back to 3rd Street to Armstrong Way at 3rd- Bayview Playground.

Both routes (all three events) will use the same stretch of Terry Francois in Mission Bay, and the organizers would love to have robust programming at each event along this beautiful stretch of SF coastline. NPC will highlight the Blue Greenway with a table at each event.

Beth Byrne is the program coordinator for Sunday Streets, and she can help with information on tabling and event participation. The process and set up for programming locations are very similar to previous years.

Cheryl Brinkman is once again heading up Outreach, and she is available to come to meetings in the area and work with merchants and residents to both address any concerns they have about the event as well as invite them to be involved.

The new Mission Bay park across from Pier 52 on Terry Francois Boulevard will be used for programming, and organizers are interested in including the new residents of this area in developing programming and having their involvement for as much as they are interested in participating. Visit http://sundaystreetssf.com if you would like to organize an event or activity that will highlight the Blue Greenway. Please distribute this information widely to any group or organization you think might want to participate.
