Ocean Beach Master Plan

Creating a sustainable future for San Francisco's coast

Ocean Beach, one of the gems of the San Francisco landscape, faces significant challenges. Since 2010, SPUR has led an extensive interagency and public process to develop the Ocean Beach Master Plan, a comprehensive vision to address sea level rise, protect infrastructure, restore coastal ecosystems and improve public access.

The Ocean Beach Master Plan and Implementation Studies are made possible by the State Coastal Conservancy, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the National Park Service.

News / November 17, 2011
Please see attached for translated versions of the 'Ocean Beach Project Description' and 'Summary of Key Moves.' SPUR 致力為公眾服務,並與地方,州立及聯邦機構一同為Ocean海灘創立一個長期的發展眼光。我們邀請了公眾為Ocean海灘的總體規劃建议草案提出意見,其中包括海岸保護,自然資源及公眾入口等內容。這份建议草案基於來自公眾,律師,及城市機構方面的資訊投入,分別在3次的公眾合作營中完成及匯報。建议书概述了一個大膽及有前瞻性的眼光,為求增加公共空間的易達性,保護和恢復生態資源,及保護重要基礎設施不受未來幾十年海平面上升和侵蝕的影響。建议书提出改變一些街道布局的計劃,其中包括Great高速路及Sloat街。 我們希望能夠得到你們對於建議書的意見反饋,並於接下來的幾個月時間繼續修改和完善建議書的內容。 如果你們錯失了參加我們公眾合作營的機會,或者想在復雜事物中尋求關於Ocean海灘的新鮮話題,請瀏覽以下網址:www.spur.org/oceanbeach 獲取關於工作營的更多資訊。
