They soar above us, forcing us to stop and look no matter how many times we’ve seen them before. Then they connect us to new adventures. In 2018 and 2019, bridging took on special meaning as the Conservancy entered a new era of leadership. We’re thrilled to welcome President & CEO Chris Lehnertz, as Greg Moore becomes CEO Emeritus and transitions to a new role as Special Advisor. This is a moment to celebrate our accomplishments and park trans- formations, many within sight of the Golden Gate Bridge. At the same time, we look to the future and all the possi- bilities Chris brings. With her commit- ment to inclusion, we enter a new phase of activating our parklands for people from every part of the Bay Area. At both ends of the bridge our parks await, filled with promise for some- thing fresh, something fun. We’re so happy you’re on this journey too.

    STAFF REPORT FOR CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 FOR THE MEETING OF: September 14, 2017 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Adopt rules and regulations for the TJPA’s park on the roof of the transit center, and authorize staff to proceed with requesting proposed amendments to the San Francisco Municipal Code to make TJPA’s park a “park” subject to certain rules and regulations under the Municipal Code. EXPLANATION: The 5.4-acre park and botanical garden on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center (named “Salesforce Park” and referred to herein as “TJPA’s park”) will be a unique open space and amenity in an area of the City with few parks. TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource.
