Open Space San Francisco - Community Workshops

In January of this year, Open Space San Francisco: 2100 announced a series of community workshops to solicit public input on the future of San Francisco's parks and open spaces.

The Open Space initiative outlines what San Francisco's ideal open space network will look like in the coming 100 years. If you look at the vision map (pdf) you'll see a network of eco-corridors traversing the city, as well as proposed new open space and improvements in existing areas.

Among the goals of the program: 1) to ensure that every San Franciscan is within a 10-minute walk from an open space area greater than one acre, 2) build eco-corridors that allow for both human and wildlife movement across the city, 3) a system of public transit and green streets connecting people to open space.

To learn more, to be involved, to have a say in the open space future, you can attend an upcoming community workshop in your area. Check the website for full schedule details.
