San Francisco officials have initiated a $34 million renovation project for the Japantown Peace Plaza, marking the first phase in a broader plan to revamp the Geary corridor. The groundbreaking ceremony, held on April 27, featured notable attendees including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Mayor London Breed, Assemblymember Phil Ting, and CG Osumi. The project, funded by the 2020 Health and Recovery Bond, aims to not only rejuvenate the plaza but also honor the rich history and culture of the San Francisco Japantown community. The event, organized by RecParkSF and the Japantown Task Force, included performances by SF Taiko Dojo and speeches about the collaborative efforts that made this renovation possible.
