Areas of Impact.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to improve a park, fix a street, address livability or save a tree. The best way to minimize disagreement is to ensure all stakeholders and those impacted have a seat at the table and inform the work together.
Transportation.

Equity.
SBNA will hold all groups of people, according to race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, ability, age, legal citizenship, national origin, income, political affiliation and intersectionality as equal. None is inferior or superior to the other in any of SBNA’s policies, recommendations or actions. We affirm that racial equity – an understanding and acknowledgment of historical and ongoing racial inequities and a commitment to actions challenging those inequities. We affirm participation in decision-making processes is the people’s right and actively engage to dismantle barriers that prevent affected communities from participation by putting into practice the SBNA Equity Best Practices and SBNA Racial Equity Policy. Racial inequity in development continues to displace Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in our region. SBNA will center the voices of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and communities excluded from economic opportunities, immigrants and refugees, people with disabilities, renters, and other affected community members.
Parks.
It all begins with an idea.
Environmental.
Community action brings change.
Community Safety.
We are all in it together.
