Sign Hill Master Plan, City of South San Francisco
Survey Questions, Round 1 Outreach
Introduction
The City of South San Francisco is seeking community input to create the Sign Hill Master Plan. Sign Hill Open Space is located off Hillside Boulevard on Ridgeview Court in South San Francisco.
In addition to serving as a monument in North San Mateo County, Sign Hill provides 65 acres of open space, including almost two miles of hiking trails and unparalleled views of the San Francisco Bay. Sign Hill is a valuable and historic local resource for the community and a critical habitat for endemic plants and wildlife on the Peninsula.
The Sign Hill Open Space Master Plan will guide future development of the trail system to enhance public access and visitor experiences while protecting the biological and cultural resources.
Your participation in this survey will help us better engage the public as patrons and stewards of Sign Hill and create a master plan that meets the needs of the site and the community for years to come.
