Calling Sunnyside’s storm drain adopters…

Now is the time to check and clear your adoptee, before the rain that’s on its way. If you haven’t yet got your own pet drain (or is that custodianship?), find out more about the SFPUC program. So far, well over 30 Sunnyside drains have been adopted. Here’s a recent SF Chronicle article about the program.

What’s your speed?

This stark infographic demonstrates how important car speed is. The speed limit on Sunnyside’s busiest street, Monterey Blvd, was lowered to 25 MPH a few years ago, yet cars are often observed to be going much faster. The recent fatality at Valdez Ave and the serious injury collision near Foerster St that left a cyclist in a coma suggest actual speeds are substantially higher.

Sunnyside NERT Classes — now open for registration on Eventbrite

San Francisco’s NERT (Neighborhood Emergency Response Team) program is a great program which teaches neighbors like you to help yourself and others in the event of a major earthquake or catastrophe. You will learn light search and rescue, how to shut off utilities, do triage, and very basic first aid. It’s a fun class, and a great way to meet your neighbors and help your fellow San Franciscans in a disaster.

Sunnyside’s upcoming NERT classes are now scheduled. SNA president and firefighter Stephen Martinpinto will be leading the course. Details and links to sign up:
