Have you adopted your local storm drain yet? Over 40 of Sunnyside’s storm drains have been adopted by local residents through an SF Water program, many of them given pet names like Cowboy, Oscar, and Drainy McDrainerson (of course). See a map of all the adoptees and find out how you can participate here: https://adoptadrain.sfwater.org/ Click register to start.

For all those who have already adopted, now is the time to give your pet drain a sweep, before rain comes.   Continue reading “Adopt-a-Drain season coming” →

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).
