New Park at Linden and Pine Project

The New Park at Linden and Pine Project, solicitation number 2025090893, is a redevelopment initiative by the City of South San Francisco to create a 0.80-acre neighborhood public space. The project involves the demolition of an existing parking lot at 616 Linden Avenue, a grass field at 700 Linden Avenue, and the closure of an approximately 100-foot section of Pine Avenue. The resulting park will feature a central plaza and outdoor event space, ADA-accessible composite play structures, a sports court, fitness areas, picnic lawns, and public art. Infrastructure improvements include new parking with ADA van accessibility, lighting, landscaping with 30 to 35 new trees, and a potential restroom structure. The project has undergone extensive environmental and technical due diligence, including Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, geotechnical evaluations, and a transportation analysis confirming minimal impact on vehicle miles traveled. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was established through a Mitigated Negative Declaration, with a final Notice of Determination issued on December 15, 2025. Construction must adhere to strict hazardous substance institutional controls and land use covenants per California Health and Safety and Civil Codes. The project is managed by the City of South San Francisco's Capital Projects division, with technical support from SWCA Environmental Consultants and Hexagon Transportation Consultants.
