Featuring one of Sunnyside’s projects.

VOTE FOR SUNNYSIDE –JUNE 12 – 26. District 7 Participatory Budget Project 2023

Seating area with trees in Sunnyside

Installation of a bench, native sidewalk garden and two trees on Foerster Street and Monterey Boulevard. The locations fronts of the Kwik & Convenient parking lot, on a wide sidewalk near the El Gran Taco Loco taco truck parked in the Kwik and Convenient parking lot. This project will not only provide greenery and increase water permeability on this barren stretch of sidewalk, but will also provide seating for patrons of the taco truck and Kwik and Convenient. The dual benefit of helping local businesses survive and greening of the area has the potential to increase pedestrian engagement in Sunnyside’s central business corridor. Aesthetically, it helps to beautify a long neglected portion of Monterey Boulevard’s central business district.
