  Mayor's Update     Hello neighbor! Tonight is our first Movie Night in the Park with Kung Fu Panda 4! But if popcorn under the stars isn’t your jam, there’s a Biotech Speaker Series beginning next Friday because there’s something for everyone in South City! Learn about all our upcoming events on our updated website.     What's Happening East of 101? Join us for a speaker series, co-hosted by Biocom California, designed to offer residents an exclusive glimpse into the dynamic world of biotechnology and life sciences. Recognizing the limited interaction between residents on the west side of Highway 101 and the individuals and companies operating on the east side, this series seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the impactful work happening just beyond our doorstep.

The proposal is to redevelop the existing Burger King restaurant with a new In-n-Out Burger with a landscaped patio area, and drive-through facility. The project application requires a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through, and for expanded hours of operations. Staff is currently reviewing the project for completeness, and consistency with zoning standards. Visit our Construction page for updates. There’s a new Curry Pizza restaurant on Grand? Mayor James Coleman, Councilmember Mark Nagales, City Manager Sharon Ranals and ECD staff attended the grand opening of Curry Pizza House, located on Grand Avenue across from City Hall. Mayor Coleman gave brief remarks and cut the ceremonial ribbon to open the restaurant. A crowd of about 50 people were in line for the pizza. Curry Pizza House serves pizza infused with Indian spices and has 28 locations across the United States. They are a welcome addition to downtown South San Francisco.   Blueprint Buzz Got questions about the Surface Seal Project taking place downtown?
