San Francisco Beautiful Welcomes Kearstin Krehbiel September 16, 2011 Looking Forward                                                      Letter from the Executive Director    I'm proud to join youin serving our city as the new Executive Director of San Francisco Beautiful. For more than 60 years, San Francisco Beautiful - a group of citizens, neighbors, friends, and philanthropists - has been integral in making San Francisco the extraordinary place it is today. The city we call home has been rated one of the cleanest, greenest, happiest, and healthiest urban centers in the world.   As we look to the challenges and opportunities that the next 60 years will bring - a shrinking economy, reductions to state and city budgets - there is much work ahead for San Francisco to stay livable, green, and beautiful.  I hope we can count on you as we build a strong base of supporters with the creative resourcefulness needed to ensure the future of our city.   I look forward to meeting the challenges ahead. I'm proud to work with you, together for San Francisco.       Become a member today!   AT&T Applies for Utility Box Permits AT&T has started applying for individual, site specific utility box excavation permits from to the Department of Public Works. San Francisco Beautiful has received a number of emails and inquiries regarding these applications, posted within 300 feet of the proposed AT&T cabinet site.   To contest these site-specific permits, SFB has created a quick, go-to flier for you to use. Happy Park(ing) Day! Today, pedestrian activists around the world will set out to reclaim a small portion of the public sphere from the automobile. Started in 2005 by the San Francsico art and design group Rebar, the project turned a parking space into a temporary public park, which soon evolved to become world-wide celebration of public space known as Park(ing) Day.   Park(ing) Day has effectively re-valued the metered parking space as an important part of the commons - a site for generosity, cultural expression, socializing and play. Although the project is temporary, we hope Park(ing) Day inspires everyone to participate in the civic processes that permanently alter the urban landscape.   Take a moment to review with a discerning eye the underutilized potential in our public realm. Our sidewalks, parking spaces, alleyways and even fire hydrants all have the potential to enhance the pedestrian experience to make our cities more fun, enjoyable and better places to live.    Celebrate "Together for San Francisco!"    Get your costumes, masks, and attitudes ready to embody your favorite San Francisco icon at our Inaugural Masquerade Soiree, "Together for San Francisco." Held on October 14 at the Palace Hotel, we invite you to celebrate San Francisco's unique sense of urban beauty with this year's award winners, theEcoCenter at Heron's Head Park,  the Pavement to Parks/Parklets Programs,     Sunnyside Conservatory, and Off-the-Grid.   To purchase your ticket to San Fransisco Beautiful's much anticipated fall event, visit our ticket purchase webpage or send your contact information todinner@sfbeautiful.org for a formal invitation.     About San Francisco Beautiful   San Francisco Beautiful is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization that works to assure that the city retains and enhances its unique and memorable sense of place, balance and diversity as a beautiful, livable, green and vibrant urban center.   Instructions to Contest a AT&T Utility Box Permit   Purchase your Dinner Tickets Today!    Donate to San Francisco Beautiful    www.sfbeautiful.org         San Francisco Beautiful 100 Bush Street, Ste. 1812 San Francisco, CA 94104 kearstin@sfbeautiful.org    jonathan@sfbeautiful.org

1.   Announcement:

Golden Gate National Recreation Area » General Management Plan - Golden Gate National Recreation Area » Document List

Dear Park Friend:

We are pleased to present the Draft General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Muir Woods Monument for your review and comment (comment period opens on Sept. 9, 2011 and ends Nov. 7, 2011). This plan is intended to guide management of the park over the next 20 years. We invite you to review the draft and share your thoughts with us, and let us know how it addresses your aspirations for the future of the park.

Prepared over the last five years, the draft plan contains various ideas for future management of the park. Some of these came from the public and park partners, and other build upon earlier successes or from lessons learned by day-to-day management of the park since 1972 as directed by the 1980 General Management Plan. We employed a rigorous planning process to explore a range of alternatives and create the National Park Service's preferred alternative which encompasses what we believe are the best ideas. The preferred alternative is described in chapters four (for Alcatraz), five (for Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties) and six (for Muir Woods). We hope you will give those chapters special attention.

We invite you to take this opportunity to help shape the future of the park by sending us your comments. You can do that on this website, by selecting the "Open for Comment" link on the left, or at one of the open houses we will host in communities around the park. Your thoughtful comments are important to us and will make a difference as we finalize the plan in the coming year. 

Thank you for your support and interest in this special place.
