As part of the 700 Innes project , the existing five-acre RPD India Basin Open Space will be expanded to a total of 12 acres of public RPD park through the addition of more than three acres of currently private land ( Big Green ) and the vacation of several unused public street segments . Developers of this site will also create three acres of additional publicly accessible open space , including a new Public Market providing several new welcoming points of access through its planned mixed-use residential and commercial development . Funding from a Community Facilities District associated with the 700 Innes development will subsidize ongoing maintenance costs in the combined spaces .
Project partners have engaged more than 30 BVHP community groups since planning for the park began ( see Appendix B ). The A . Philip Randolph Institute San Francisco and the broader Leadership Committee have helped to establish a critical link with the community , encouraging neighbors to get involved in the long-term planning as well as with events at India Basin . Representatives of the BVHP community have participated in nearly 50 planning meetings regarding the project since community planning began in 2014 .
