Introduction
The Western Addition - Geary Boulevard Community Study will develop transportation and land use concept designs that rethink the urban renewal-era Geary Expressway and advance a high-quality multimodal, mixed-use, transit-oriented area to connect the Japantown and Fillmore/Western Addition neighborhoods and promote community livability. The study will engage neighborhoods through a community-led outreach process to develop goals, evaluation criteria, and scenarios and by establishing a Community Council with representatives of the Black, Japanese, and Jewish communities that were displaced when the underpass was constructed, as well as with newer community members.
Recommendations will include multimodal network connectivity and safety improvements, long-term transportation expansions and enhancements, development feasibility analyses for potential affordable housing sites and economic development strategies, anti-displacement strategies, and concept-level urban design guidance.
We have formed a Community Council with representatives of the Black, Japanese, and Jewish communities to guide the project and support community engagement efforts.
