Sue Bierman (August 5, 1924 – August 7, 2006) was a civic leader in San Francisco. She worked on the San Francisco Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors, and the Port Commission.
She was born in Fremont, Nebraska, and moved to San Francisco in the 1950s with her husband, Arthur K. Bierman. She became involved in city politics as a leader of the "freeway revolt" in the 1960s. This movement aimed to stop the expansion of Interstate 80 into the Golden Gate Park Panhandle. In 1964, she started a neighborhood council in the Haight-Ashbury area to oppose the planned "Panhandle Freeway." The expansion was stopped in March 1966 when the Board of Supervisors voted 6–5 against it.
Her work as a neighborhood activist and co-founder of the Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood Council led to her appointment by Mayor George Moscone to the San Francisco Planning Commission in 1976. She worked on the commission until 1992. Later, she ran for the Board of Supervisors, focusing on helping the homeless, protecting health programs, and preserving open spaces. She served as a Supervisor until term limits required her to leave in 2000. Her final role was on the Port Commission, where she was appointed by Willie Brown in 2003 and reappointed by Gavin Newsom. She served until her death in 2006.
In her honor, the Susan J. Bierman Grove in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle and Sue Bierman Park in the Financial District are named after her.
