Participatory Budgeting now open — what project would you vote for?

Residents of District 7, which includes Sunnyside,  have the opportunity to propose and/or vote for projects that draw on public funds for projects that particularly benefit our district. This innovative process is called Participatory Budgeting.  D7 Supervisor Norman Yee is leading this effort. Here’s a list of what projects were chosen last year.

In past years both Sunnyside Park and Sunnyside Elementary School projects have been chosen, bestowing tens of thousands of dollars in city money in our neighborhood. What project would you propose?

The process for choosing D7 projects for 2016-17 has begun. The kick-off meeting is Thursday Dec 1st at West Portal Playground Clubhouse (6-7:30 pm), followed by a proposal workshop on Dec 17th (more information here). Here is an application for proposing a project. Questions? Contact Supervisor Yee’s aide, Erica Maybaum erica.maybaum@sfgov.org.

Sunnyside is adopting storm drains!

The Adopt-a-Drain program from SF Water Power Sewer, aimed at keeping corner flooding to a minimum, has taken off in Sunnyside. The number of drains adopted by local residents in our neighborhood has grown in the last few months from just a couple to now 20 32 and counting. See the map and adopt your own local storm drain before the rains return: https://adoptadrain.sfwater.org/.  There are plenty of corners still unclaimed! And you can even name your drain — names already on the map: “Lady Bug 1” “Thirsty Pete” “Bassett’s Folly” — or use your favorite icon.
