Hello!
I am writing this on behalf of City Farm SLO. My name is Claire DuFrane, and I am working on the farm as a fellow. This
proposal is very important to our beloved farm & I hope it is considered.
City Farm is asking the City of SLO to support our Proposal for Public Safety, Access, and Purpose-Critical Infrastructure
Support.
About City Farm's Proposal:
Proposal for Public Safety, Access, and Purpose-Critical Infrastructure Support -The need for such infrastructure results
from the growth both of security problems and of access and development opportunities offered by the dramatic
growth of bordering neighborhoods.
Although our non-profit continues to sustain its expanding agricultural, educational, and environmental programs with
produce sales, donations and grants, this infrastructure development will require financial engagement by the City of
San Luis Obispo.
Included in the infrastructure plan are the following improvements:
Security fencing and gates protecting the whole property from trespass, theft, vandalism, and threats
Safe and attractive bicycle and pedestrian access to City Farm connecting it to the South Laguna and new San
Luis Ranch neighborhoods, creating an active transportation corridor through the Farm to Calle Joaquin
Restoration and conservation of the degraded section of Froom Creek bordering City Farm and building
recreational/educational trail
A full elaboration of the plan is available here: https://tinyurl.com/CFSproposal2023
Best,
Claire DuFrane
