ALAMO SQUARE’S PAINTED LADIES The famous Painted Ladies of Alamo Square are six colorfully painted Victorian houses with the exact same architecture, built side-by-side to each other, near Alamo Square Park. If you climb up to the top of the hill inside the park, you will get an amazing view of downtown San Francisco right behind them.

The eastern side of the bridge offers a walking path that crosses the entire way across to the Marin Headlands and back to San Francisco. Standing on the bridge you will get a close up of this amazing structure as well as beautiful views of SF Bay, downtown SF, Angel Island, and the infamous Alcatraz Island.

LOMBARD STREET Lombard Street is where you will find one of the "crookedest" streets in San Francisco. Even though it’s dubbed the most crooked street in the world, this is no longer true. However, it is one of the most beautiful streets in the world. Its brick lined roadway is magnificent, and you will love the beautiful flowers and trees planted all along its edges. Both add to its elegance. If you want to know an actual "hidden gem" secret about San Francisco, the most crooked street in San Francisco is Vermont Street in Potrero Hill which is located just a few miles away.

PIER 39 Pier 39 in Fisherman’s Wharf is a favorite spot for many tourists. It’s filled with shops, restaurants, and the Aquarium of the Bay. One of my favorite free things to do is to spend some time watching the sea lions jockey for position on the platforms near the pier. You can also learn more about these lively animals in the new Pier 39 Sea Lion Center.

ALCATRAZ PRISON TOUR By far, the most popular San Francisco Tour is the tour to Alcatraz Island. This former maximum-security prison housed some of the most infamous criminals of the time. Open from 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz was home to prisoners such as “Scarface” Al Capone, Robert “The Birdman” Stroud, and George "Machine Gun" Kelly. Today, millions of visitors’ flock to The Rock to learn more about this prison’s history and the inmates who called it home. They offer day tours almost every day of the year. A few days a week, they also offer night tours. Tickets go on sale 90 days in advance and I recommend booking as early as possible as these tickets sell out early.

    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.
