What is it like? SNA Secretary Amy O’Hair worked at the welcoming table last year. “I heard families with toddlers who lived on the same block get a chance to meet each other for the first time and make playdates. One dad arrived a bit grumpy, he didn’t really want to come along, but by the end he was telling me and everyone else what a great time he and his family had.”

SNA-Hallooween-2017-final — Sunnyside Neighborhood Association’s Annual Halloween Carnival. Saturday Oct 28, 2017, 11 am – 2 pm. Fun for all ages: food, games, and lots of prizes. St Finn Barr Auditorium, 415 Edna Street, San Francisco CA.

‘Detroit Gardens’: local greening project

Last Saturday Friends of the Urban Forest workers, neighbors, and volunteers descended upon the many newly opened planting areas located all around the corners of Detroit/Flood and Detroit/Hearst, and put in lots of native plants and trees.

The result is a whole lot less concrete and a whole lot more green and growing gardens. This was a project initiated by Pam Parker Souza and her neighbors, with a great deal of help from FUF. Want to know how you can transform your block? Contact Pam at pamparkersouza@zephyrRE.com.

SNA was contacted by Ford Go Bike/Motivate about the four sites they propose for bikeshare stations in Sunnyside. They would like to hear from Sunnyside residents about the proposed choices, and we encourage you to write directly to Justin Nguyen, the Outreach Coordinator. (See below for full contact info.)

Here are mock-up photographs of the sites. These are: northeast corner, Gennessee & Monterey (23 bikes); southwest corner, Hearst & Edna (19 bikes); northeast corner, Hearst & Congo (19 bikes); and south side of Judson between Foerster & Gennessee (23 bikes). All planned sites are located on the street (not sidewalk).
