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.

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:

Before the tech boom in San Francisco, care of street trees was foisted upon property owners to make up for budget deficits. In July, The City will take that responsibility back. (Jessica Christian/S.F. Examiner)

San Francisco’s ailing tree canopy is expected to get the love and care it needs after voters overwhelming approved a measure in November requiring The City to care for all street trees.
