Japantown Community on the Western Addition/Geary Boulevard Community Study (In-Person)

Come to the first Japantown Town Hall on the Western Addition/Geary Boulevard Community Study (WAGCS) as part of a $2M, 2-year planning project focused on re-envisioning Geary Boulevard between Laguna and Divisadero. The study is a community-driven effort to re-imagine the area which was harmed by the widening of Geary Boulevard in the 1950s and 60s, disrupting long-standing communities like Japantown and the Fillmore / Western Addition.

The event aims to gather input on how to repair harms and reconnect communities through transportation improvements, urban design, and land use strategies with community voices at the Center. Organized by the Japantown Task Force and Japantown Cultural District, and co-sponsored by JTF, KOHO, and Buchanan YMCA in partnership with SFCTA, SF Planning, and SFMTA.
