Mayor says capital planning includes community engagement for Ingleside police station, Ocean View Library and Crocker Amazon renovation

On June 10, 2025, Mayor Daniel Lurie told the Board of Supervisors that ensuring major capital investments in historically underserved neighborhoods are responsive to community needs is a priority for his administration and described the city’s capital planning process.

Supervisor Cheyenne Chen (District 11) asked what processes the mayor’s office is implementing to make major capital projects—including the Giant Crocker Amazon renovation, the Ingleside Police Station, and the Ocean View Library—responsive to neighborhood priorities. Chen asked how neighborhoods’ needs will be identified and addressed during planning and design.

Mayor Lurie said San Francisco develops a publicly noticed 10‑year capital plan every two years that is reviewed by the capital planning committee and approved by the mayor and Board of Supervisors. He said departments engage local stakeholders during planning, design and construction and that “community input isn't limited to plan adoption.”

Project specifics provided at the meeting - Ingleside Police Station: Lurie said the new station includes a 1,250‑square‑foot community room near the entrance intended for police‑led community meetings, youth programs, safety education and neighborhood events in partnership with Recreation and Parks. He stated the project is a $109,000,000 investment slated for completion in 2029. - Ocean View Library: Lurie said community feedback prompted a shift from renovation to a full rebuild. He said the library has conducted numerous public meetings since February 2019, and that $42,000,000 has been allocated through fiscal year 2026 while site options are being explored with Real Estate Services.

Chen told the mayor constituents still report limited access to planning and design processes and asked for a commitment to prioritize in‑district meetings and outreach. Lurie agreed to continue working with Supervisor Chen and other stakeholders.

No board action or vote on these projects was taken at the June 10 meeting; the exchange was a policy discussion during the mayor’s appearance.

Why it matters Major capital projects affect long‑term neighborhood services and public facilities. Details such as community rooms, project budgets, scheduled completion dates, and whether a project is rebuilt rather than renovated shape local expectations and opportunities for public participation.

Ending Mayor Lurie said the administration welcomes continued input and collaboration; Supervisor Chen asked for prioritized in‑district engagement. Both officials indicated ongoing coordination on the named projects.
