Supervisor Cheyenne Chen asked Mayor Daniel Lurie on June 10 what steps his administration is taking to make sure major capital investments underway in historically neglected parts of the city are responsive to neighborhood needs.
Lurie said the administration prioritizes equity and that San Francisco’s capital planning process includes a publicly noticed 10‑year capital plan updated every two years and reviewed by the capital planning committee, the mayor and the Board of Supervisors. "This plan prioritizes investments that advance equity and directly respond to the needs of vulnerable communities," he said.
The mayor described department‑level stakeholder engagement at planning, design and construction phases. He provided project examples in District 11 and elsewhere:
- Ingleside Police Station: Lurie said the new station will include a 1,250‑square‑foot community room near the entrance intended for police‑led community meetings, youth programs, safety education and neighborhood events. He identified the project cost as $109,000,000 and said it is slated for completion in 2029.
- Ocean View Library: Lurie said community feedback prompted a shift from renovation to a full rebuild. He said $42,000,000 has been allocated through fiscal year 2026 and that the library is exploring site options with Real Estate Services.
- Giants Crocker Amazon renovation: Lurie said his office is working with Supervisor Chen and the Giants on the Crocker Amazon project and welcomed continued input.
Chen said constituents still report limited access to planning and design processes and asked the mayor to commit to ongoing outreach in District 11. Lurie responded, "Absolutely," and said he would continue to engage with Chen and residents.
Ending
The exchange concluded with the mayor reiterating that capital projects should be investments in community well‑being and with a commitment to continued engagement on District 11 projects.
