The Western Addition - Geary Boulevard Community Study is rethinking the urban renewal-era Geary Expressway to create a more connected, safer, and more livable neighborhood. The study team wants to hear what matters most to you - your priorities for the neighborhood, places that feel unsafe or hard to get around, and the businesses, services, and gathering spaces you'd like to see along the corridor.
「ウェスタン・アディション～ギアリー・ブルバード地域調査」では、都市再開発時代に建設されたギアリー・エクスプレスウェイを見直し、よりつながりのある、安全で、住みやすい地域づくりを目指しています。調査チームは、皆様にとって最も重要なこと――地域に対する優先事項、不安を感じたり移動が困難だと感じる場所、そしてこの沿線にどのような店舗、サービス、集いの場があることを望まれるか――について、皆様のご意見を伺いたいと考えています。 Presentation Link / プレゼンテーショURL
