The Balboa Park Community Advisory Committee was established through Board of Supervisors legislation enacted on March 5, 2012, sponsored by Supervisor John Avalos (District 11).  The committee is responsible for advising a number of public agencies making improvements to the Balboa Park Station area.  These agencies include the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the San Francisco Planning Department, the Department of Public Works (DPW), the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).  The BPCAC will meet periodically to provide feedback and ensure that staff are delivering improvements that are timely and of high benefit to the community.

  • Monitor the progress of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), the Transportation Authority, the Department of Public Works (DPW), the San Francisco Planning Department and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in advancing plans and public improvement projects; track project development responsibilities and timelines, collaborate with transportation agencies
