Relationship to CalTrans

In 1971 the City of San Francisco entered into an agreement with CalTrans. The city agreed to develop and maintain a mini-park on the CalTrans Freeway 101 Easement.

The park committee visited CalTrans and with the help of CalTrans Staff found the documents supporting the Encroachment Perm
