Divisadero Corridor to Get Major Facelift!!
Starting Monday, Divisadero Street will receive a major facelift between Waller and Geary. The revitalization project will consist of new trees, streetlamps, bus shelters, pavement improvements, curb-ramps, This revitalization project will consist of curb-ramps and new sidewalk bulb-outs, new streetlamps, landscaping, sidewalk improvements, street trees, sewer installations, pavement improvements, and median improvements for pedestrian crossings. The Divisadero corridor has experienced a resurgence in recent years with a number of new businesses opening and the successes of the weekly farmers market and quarterly art walk. Supervisor Mirkarimi looks forward to these new improvements continuing this positive trend. Note that parking will be temporarily removed along sections of Divisadero and adjacent streets. Be sure to check the posted signs for the ‘no-parking' times and dates. The entire project is scheduled to last until January 2011.

Update on the Anzavista Street Park
The greening committee have met three times now and are moving along nicely with the neighborhood beautification project. If you'd like to participate in the planning please contact Jeny at 415-321-4237. Our next meeting is June 2nd at 6pm.
Rebecca Dye from Design Focus will be collaborating with us on the preliminary plant palette and donating her landscape architect services! We have a preliminary site plan from Daniel Hui a graduate student at UC Davis and are very excited and happy to have these two brilliant people working together with us to make this a true success.
The photo below is an example of planting done in the Outer Richmond neighborhood in SF. We will not be allowed by the city to plant trees in our project but we are looking to have a simple yet elegant design of drought tolerant plants with some vibrant colors to be a welcoming gate to the neighborhood.

Cracks in the Asphalt
This book is incredible, it is called Cracks in the Asphalt. Just bought it and can't wait to go on an urban garden tour. Maybe our street median project will be in there one day!
It is full of beautiful color photographs of San Francisco community gardens, maps, and other useful information.
