Supervisors amend and advance Twin Peaks revitalization resolution to full Board
Summary
The committee amended a resolution urging Recreation & Parks, MTA, Real Estate and Public Works to develop a long‑term recovery and revitalization plan for Twin Peaks that prioritizes neighbors, public uses and department collaboration. The committee adopted the amendments and recommended the item to the full Board as a committee report.
Supervisor Mirna Melgar, chair of the Committee, presented a resolution urging interdepartmental collaboration on a long‑term recovery and revitalization plan for Twin Peaks to improve accessibility, safety, cleanliness and environmental stewardship while prioritizing neighbors and homeowners.
Melgar outlined several technical amendments to the original resolution: replacing “develop” with “work collaboratively to design,” explicitly adding homeowner and neighborhood associations to the consultation list (including Twin Peaks Improvement Association, Midtown Terrace Homeowners Association, Forest Knolls and Mira Loma Park Improvement Club), adding “foundations” to the list of suggested groups to be engaged and emphasizing that public uses on public land should be prioritized and that private uses would require a robust public process and board notification regarding leases.
Public comment: Neighbors and advocacy callers strongly supported the amendments. Denise Lapointe, a longtime homeowner, thanked supervisors for the changes and urged preserving the site from over‑commercialization; other neighbors and disability advocates urged accessibility considerations.
Committee action: Supervisor Peskin moved to adopt the amendments; the committee voted (Preston, Melgar, Peskin) in favor of the amendments and then voted to move the amended resolution to the full Board as a committee report. The committee recorded 3 ayes and the motion passed.
Why it matters: Twin Peaks is a visible public landmark and this resolution frames an interdepartmental, neighborhood‑driven approach to balancing tourism, conservation, recreation and adjacent homeowners’ interests. The amendments expand required consultation with immediate neighbors and clarify that any private leases will be reported to the Board.
Next steps: The committee advanced the amended resolution to the Board of Supervisors; departments named in the resolution are urged to create a transparent, collaborative process engaging impacted neighbors and community organizations.
