Questions – from Caltrans

What changes do you want to make to the existing Mini Park which was created through an Encroachment Permit in the early 1970s?

Will these changes require expanding the current area of the park? If so, many additional questions will need to be asked to determine if you plan to take over state right of way that is needed for either Maintenance purposes or for possible expansion of our facilities.

How close is the park to our facilities? Is the City of San Francisco on-board with this proposal since they are

the agency that has the Encroachment Permit with us? Is the city interested in relinquishment of the area if that is feasible

from our perspective? If, per chance, you do not receive funding through the MTC TLC

program, can you still proceed with your planned park improvements?
