programming along the Centennial Way Trail; and

WHEREAS, the master plan excluded improvements for parcels owned by the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission (SFPUC) between Orange Avenue and Spruce Avenue at the request of the SFPUC; and

WHEREAS, in early 2024 the City reengaged the SFPUC to develop conceptual designs that included
parcels owned by the SFPUC; and
