Glen Park Grows Up?

April 8, 2025 by Heather World

City planners have proposed an updated zoning map, raising height limits in downtown Glen Park to 14 stories on BART property and 6- to 8-story buildings on streets surrounding the neighborhood’s core. And while height limits remain 40 feet for most of the neighborhood, the density restrictions would be lifted, paving the way for more […]

8 Stories in GP? Talk to Planning at GPA Mtg 4/11

April 2, 2024 by Heather World

From The Frisc: 8-Story Apartments Could Come to One of SF’s Quaintest Neighborhoods, Thanks in Part to BART Sleepy Glen Park has missed out on San Francisco’s housing wars, and that seems to be the way many longtime residents like it. But the neighborhood’s idyllic recess could be coming to an end. The city’s new proposed […]

Future of Islais Creek

October 3, 2022 by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission

San Francisco* is undertaking a study to deliver flood resilience and quality-of-life benefits to San Franciscans in the Upper Islais Creek Watershed. Quality-of-life benefits could include pedestrian and bicyclist safety, neighborhood connectivity, urban greening, and other environmental benefits. Increasing flood resilience may involve strategies to (1) adapt streets and the public realm to manage larger […]

Kern Street Parking Lot Legislation

October 13, 2019 by Heather World

The Planning Commission will consider parking legislation that will directly affect the Kern Street lot this Thursday, and in a reversal of course, the Planning Department is now urging the Commission to keep the lot permissible for parking. Supervisor Rafael Mandelman’s legislation broadly re-orients the Planning Code away from parking and toward people outside their […]

Public Land and Private Profit

May 28, 2019 by Heather World

Fenced off and closed to the public earlier this year, the re-graded Kern Street parking lot behind Pebbles Café on Diamond Street includes about 1,700-square feet of city land, giving the family that controls the lot 27 percent more space to charge tenants for parking. That changed Tuesday in response to three months of inquires […]

Glen Park Association Newspaper Editorial

December 4, 2018 by Stephany Wilkes

Housing may be the hottest topic in Glen Park. Whether it’s sky-high sale prices, displacement of dear neighbors, a basketball court on Everson or the future of the BART lot, the Glen Park Association hears about nothing quite so much as housing. Opinions vary—and strongly—from one person to the next, but there is at least […]

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director

Wonder what’s stopping just organizing it separate from that non-profit. It seems like the volunteers largely come from Glen Park.
