The Street Parks Program is a partnership involving Public Works, the San Francisco Parks Alliance and the residents of San Francisco, with the common goal of creating community-managed spaces on City-owned land. The Street Parks program transforms Public Works-owned parcels into green open space, gardens, neighborhood gathering spaces and more. Since the program’s inception in 2004, more than 100 Street Parks have been developed and more are in progress.
The Green Benefit District formation process is broken into three phases, which includes Phase 1: District Feasibility, Outreach, and Planning , Phase 2: Legal Review and Legislative Process, and Phase 3: District Establishment.
