How it got here
This resolution intends to change the designation of certain road areas in Twin Peaks from public roadway and sidewalk use to public recreational and park use to support the Twin Peaks Promenade Project. A hearing is scheduled for March 17, 2026, for public input on this proposed change.
This ordinance changes parts of Eastern Twin Peaks Boulevard from a public roadway to a public space for recreation and park purposes to support the Twin Peaks Promenade Project. It also transfers management of the area to the Recreation and Park Department and ensures the space will remain open to the public indefinitely.
