The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution recognizing the La Playa Village neighborhood and its resident community for its historical, architectural, and cultural significance. The resolution details the neighborhood's origins, including its development from sand dunes and its early residential community of 'Carville,' where homes were made from decommissioned streetcars. It highlights significant historical anchors such as Saint Paul's Presbyterian Church, which served as a community hub. The resolution also acknowledges recent grassroots efforts, led by Supervisor Fiona Ma and local residents, to transform underutilized public spaces into community assets like La Playa Park. These efforts have resulted in beautification projects, pedestrian safety improvements, and the creation of a diverse, family-friendly neighborhood with a mix of businesses and green spaces.
