Agenda item number one is a resolution approving the official naming of certain unnamed public and private streets and the proposed renaming of the existing Bill Walsh way to Giants Drive along Gilman Playground Park between Gilman and Ingerson Avenues to establish consistency with the segment of Giants Drive located north of Carroll Avenue, located at Candlestick Point.

This item is on today's agenda as a potential committee report, and it may be sent for consideration by the full Board of Supervisors on their agenda for tomorrow, May 5th, 2026.

Hi.

Welcome.

Good afternoon.

Uh Chair Malgar and Vice Chair Chen.

My name is Flora Law.

I'm a project manager with San Francisco Public Works Infrastructure Task Force.

And I'm here today with Indobier Greywall from Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure.

We are here to present the candlestick point street name changes and to request your support in moving the resolution forward.

Today's presentation will briefly explain the background of the redevelopment project, the need of these street names actions, and how they fit into the upcoming final map process.

I'll keep this at high level for now because in a few moments, my colleague Ender will be providing more detailed overview for the development, including what is planned for the area and how the street network fits into that broader vision.

For background, the street naming resolution before you was sponsored by Supervisor Walton.

The festing tentative subdivision map number 7878 for Candlestick Point under Public Works Order No.

182724 was approved in 2014.

As previously mentioned, this is a multi-year phase development, and we're preparing for the final map for the major phase two, which is expected to be introduced at the board in June 2026.

We're requesting approval of street name changes now so that the official street names can be shown on the final map, and we can avoid revisions later on in the approval process.

Today we're asking land use and transportation committee to forward a positive recommendation for the street name changes resolution to the full board for its May 5th, 2026 meeting.

With that, now I turn it over to Ender, who will walk through the project overview and go through the details of the proposed street names and a community-based selection process.

Mindra Garriwal, I'm a development specialist at OCI, focusing on the Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point.

So before I jump into the street names and the community process that informed these street names, just want to take a step back and provide you with an overview of the project.

So Candlestick Point opened in 1962.

It was the home to both the San Francisco 49ers and the San Francisco Giants until it was demolished in 2015.

In 1997, the Board of Supervisors approved the Baybiew Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, which called for, which included a candlestick point within that redevelopment area and called for a mixed use community within Candlestick Point.

In 2010, OCII entered into a disposition and development agreement with FIPOI to memorialize the development program for the site, which called for over 7200 housing units, including 34% of those housing units being below market rate, over 3 million square feet of commercial, about 185,000 square feet of community and cultural space, and 16 acres of new parks, in addition to the existing Candlestick Point State Recreational Center or area located along the waterfront.

The idea is that at full build out, this project would create about 12,000 permanent jobs and generate roughly 23 million dollars in annual surplus for the city's general fund.

However, before we realize these material and community benefits, Five Point will need to uh construct new infrastructure, specifically new streets within the project area to serve the new housing and the new commercial, hence creating opportunities for naming these new streets.

Now most of these streets um are being extended or existing streets being extended onto the project sites.

These are streets um spanning from 3rd Street all the way through the Alice Griff old old Alice Griffith development and eventually will be extended into Candlestick Point.

There are also four streets named after community leaders.

Three of those streets are new, and one of the streets is an existing street uh named after Reverend and Dr.

Arlius Walker.

Um and then there are 13 streets being named after Giants and 49ers Legends to commemorate the history of that site as a sports destination.

Um so jumping into the actual public streets, so there are both public and private streets, and there will be 24 public streets.

Um specifically, these streets will be suffixed by either drive, avenue, road, or way uh to distinguish themselves from the private streets.

And as you can see, uh streets like Jamestown Avenue, Fitzgerald, Gilman, Ingerson, these are all existing streets that exist within the Baybiew neighborhood and are just simply being extended onto the site.

And on to on the map to the left, um, those streets are typically in the northern or eastern portions of the project site, so extending from 3rd Street all the way down.

Um in the southern and western portions of the site, um there were opportunities to name new streets.

Uh these include streets like Bill Walsh Street, West Harney Way, or sorry, yeah, West Harney Way, uh, Christine Neal Street, um, Zerline Dixon Street, and Eddie DeBartlow Way.

So all of these streets are named after either 49ers or Giants legends or community leaders who had an active presence either within Alice Griffith or the Hunters Point Shipyard.

Um there are also 13 private streets with public access.

Uh they have this, they share the same name as the public streets, however, they're suffixed as lane to distinguish between those public streets.

Uh these private streets are either located within Candlestick Center, which is uh the pie looking shape on the map.

Um this is envisioned to be the innovation district, uh mostly containing commercial uses.

So these private streets will be located within uh the candlestick center, and then outside of candlestick center, private streets are known as mid-block breaks, which are pedestrianized streets intended to improve walkability within the project site, and all and they will essentially be um maintained by either an HOA or adjacent property owners.

Uh the selection process for uh these names began in 2015.

Um, with all things um related to the candlestick point and Hunters Point Shipyard Project.

We go to the Hunters Point Shipyard Um Citizens Advisory Committee, which is chaired by Dr.

Baronna Veronica Honeycutt, who is in attendance today.

Um the HPSCAC provides um input on the community engagement process, um, and we proceeded with um conducting that engagement.

So that engagement included two community meetings, both at the old Alice Griffith Community Center and at the Hunters Point Shipyard CAC, along with door-to-door outreach at the old Alice Griffith and the Morgan Heights community, which is located closer to the Hunters Point Shipyard off of Donny Hugh Street.

This public engagement resulted in 116 online and paper ballots with 44 unique street name nominations.

The nominations were evaluated by a selection committee consisting of CAC members, community stakeholders, an Alice Griffith resident, and a representative from OCI.

The process resulted in the selection of three community nominated names for these streets and naming the remaining new streets after 49ers and Giants legends from the 80s and 90s.

An event was held in 2017 with then Mayor Ed Lee to commemorate the street names and their photos to the right on the slide showing showing the festivities of that day.

You see Dr.

or sorry, Dr.

Linda Richardson with uh Jerry Rice.

Um and then the HPSCAC was also briefed um earlier this year in 2026, um, just uh a refresher of the community process, the names that are selected, and their approval to move uh this item forward to the Board of Supervisors.

Um I do want to take this time to just highlight the community leaders.

So beginning with Christine Neal.

She was a resident of Alice Griffith, who served as the first president of the Alice Griffith Improvement Club and president of the Tenants Association.

Christy Neal Street is located within the former uh Alice Griffith community to commemorate her leadership within Alice Griffith.

Then there's Elder Samuel Pryor Smith Sr., who worked at the Hunters Point Shipyard during World War II, played football for the San Francisco Clippers in the late 1940s, was a member of the Carpenters Union, a local 22, and a cable car operator and carpenter at MUNY.

Uh the street named after um Mr.

Smith is located around where the bus rapid transit terminal for Candlestick Point uh will be located, and this honors his legacy um at Muni.

And then finally, Zerline Dixon, who worked as a welder at the Hunters Point Shipyard during World War II and resident of the Alice and she was a resident of Alice Griffith who later went on to purchase many homes within the Bayview and is revered both for her financial and investment acumen, but also being a community leader, helping um show others in the neighborhood how to purchase property and be a property owner.

And um uh Zerlene Dixon Street will be located near inclusionary housing to commemorate that history as a property owner.

Uh that concludes the presentation.

I'm happy to take any questions.

Thank you so much for the presentation.

Uh 2015 was 11 years ago.

It's a long time ago.

It takes us a long time to do this kind of stuff.

So I um am very pleased that we are renaming um many of those streets uh after community leaders and people who work hard for the community.

Thank you for being here at commissioners.

Um the uh 49ers left us, so I don't know how I feel about naming some of the streets after folks.

Um but you know, I I know this is the community process.

Um thank you for the presentation, Supervisor Chen.

Thank you, Chair Melgar.

I have similar feeling.

I know that many of us have fond memories going up here in the city, uh going to the stake.

I know that the sewer development effort, it's a major overhaul of what the neighborhood is.

Uh I once also wanted to really um shout out to Supervisor Walton for his stewardship of this highly complex development project.

Uh it has to be many years in the making, 11 years.

And it when it comes to fruition, it will deliver many benefits to our local community and also to the city as a whole.

Um I'm I am always a big fan of naming our streets after the people and the places that have made important cultural and community contribution to our city, especially the one that honor our community leaders.

So I appreciate all that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um, with that, let's go to public comment on this item, please, Mr.

Clerk.

Thank you, Madam Chair, land use and transportation.

We'll now hear public comment related to agenda item number one.

If you have public comment for this item, please come forward to the lecture at this time, and I'll start your time.

Good afternoon, supervisors.

Myrna Melgar, good to see you.

And Cheyenne Chan.

Always good to see you.

Excuse me.

My name is Dr.

Veronica Honeycutt, the chair of the HPFCAC, the community-based organization that was established to work in partnership with OCI and Five Point to facilitate and ensure the development of the Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point.

The street names were approved by a thorough community process in 2017 with the HPS CAC's participation and leadership.

And again, on March 17, 2026, when Five Point let us know that the item would finally go to the Board of Supervisors.

Supervisors, the matter before you today is extremely important to our community.

It's a major milestone that will allow us to begin the long-promised goal of economic revitalization of the Bayview in the San Francisco Southeast sector.

It's long overdue.

So many years have passed to get to this point today.

Now the HPS CAC stakeholders are in support of the approval of the streets naming and the related candlestick point maps as presented by OCI.

Your approval today will lead to jobs creation, workforce development, local hiring, and eventual housing and local business opportunities for the Bayview and San Francisco residents in general.

Because I meet you in the community, both of you.

And you're doing hard work and important work, and thank you for your continued support of the candlestick point development.

Thank you, Dr.

Honeycutt.

Thank you for that.

Do we have anyone else who has public comment for agenda item number one?

Madam Chair.

Okay.

With that, public comment is now closed.

That we send this item out of committee to the full board with a positive recommendation as a committee report.

On the motion offered by the chair that this resolution be recommended as a committee report, Vice Chair Chen.

Chen I.

Chair Melgar.

Aye.

Melgar, I.

Madam Chair, there are two eyes.

Thank you.

Do we have anything else on our agenda?

There's no further business.

Okay, we're adjourned.

Thank you.
