Calling all volunteers: Detroit Steps maintenance day: January 29

Detroit Steps Project (DSP) is holding a clean up day, lunch provided as a thank you for volunteering.

Sunday Jan. 29th from 10-12 a small group will be taking down Holiday Decorations, putting up some Valentine’s Day decorations, sweeping and cleaning the steps and then we’ll enjoy a catered lunch. 

Let’s make Sunnyside shine together! Join the Detroit Steps Project, RefuseRefuseSF, Shine On, SF Public Works, and TogetherSF for a friendly neighborhood cleanup! The Detroit Steps Project is a multi-year multi-phased community-led project to beautify with landscape and tiling the Detroit Steps, a 185-step stairway in Sunnyside. Visit detroitsteps.org to learn more.

Volunteers will meet at the lower Detroit Steps (Detroit St & Hearst Ave) to grab supplies, meet your project leader and split into crews. Cleaning, sweeping, and gardening will occur from 10 am to 12 pm at the steps and surrounding neighborhood.

Bring your refillable water bottle and enjoy lunch, complements of the Detroit Steps Project group! Returning volunteers for 3 cleanups will win a DSP cap, and for 6 or more a DSP shirt!

Sign up today and let’s beautify San Francisco together!

Get your fix: Bike clinic with San Francisco Department of the Environment

Saturday, January 28th, 12:00 – 2:30 pm PST on the front steps of San Francisco Public Library – Main Branch, 100 Larkin Street.

BIKE REPAIRS with Bay Area Bike Mobile outside on the Larkin Street Steps: The Bike Mobile will provide free tune ups & repairs, fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and replace broken or worn-out parts like chains, seats and tires. The only thing it can’t do is replace missing wheels or gears. While the mechanics work on your bike they’ll explain how you can keep it running smoothly. Let’s get more families riding bikes in San Francisco.

Bike or no bike, everyone is welcome to attend to learn about maintenance, safety and more!
