Yosemite Creek is a body of water that originates at Yosemite Marsh in San Francisco's McLaren Park. The creek flows downhill towards Candlestick Point, mostly through underground culverts beneath private property and public right-of-way. It terminates in Yosemite Slough.
In 2007, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which manages the city's water, began investigating the possibility of " daylighting" underground portions of the creek. [1] Because the city's Yosemite Basin watershed becomes overburdened during heavy rainfall, daylighting could significantly reduce strain on stormwater infrastructure. [2]
