Balboa Reservoir Community Newsletter Q1 2022The first few months of 2022 have flown by at Balboa! Our team is furthering the design of Phase 1 infrastructure and housing and have a lot of work to do before Infrastructure construction begins in 2023. This year we will be focusing on a lot of not-so-glamorous work such as working on the construction drawings for infrastructure, subdividing the parcel, and finalizing our financing plan. However, we do have a few fun things in store this year.

We are excited about a few upcoming community meetings! This year we will be hosting a community meeting focusing on the design of the townhomes, and expect to hold our first annual construction meeting, closer to the end of year to let people know what they can expect come 2023. We hope to once again have these meetings at Unity Plaza so that we can continue to get face time with the community. Keep an eye out for more information about the community meetings in the next few months. Additionally, at these meeting we will be bringing some potential street names for everyone to vote on. We are very excited to see the community’s reaction and hope you love them as much as we do.

New Trees for Sunnyside

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

On Saturday March 26, 2022, Sunnyside saw the first of a new crop of street trees, thanks to the efforts of the previous board of SNA and the Bureau of Urban Forestry (BUF), the City’s tree agency. The event was the culmination of over a year of effort on the part of Ken Hollenbeck, past president of SNA, and Amy O’Hair, past secretary, in cooperation with Ramses Alvarez of the Department of Public Works, who coordinated the planning with BUF. 

Thanks for their efforts, thirty-one new trees will shade our sidewalks and improve our environment for decades to come. The first ten were plant on Saturday, after a kick-off ceremony overseen by Mr. Alvarez, along with D7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar. 

The remaining trees will be planted in coming weeks. If you live near one of the newly planted trees, please help your neighbors keep them watered weekly for the first three years of their growth.  

After opening words from Ramses Alvarez (center), Supervisor Melgar spoke (left), noting the encouraging progress that Sunnyside has made with greening, such as the Detroit Steps Project. Credit: Bill Wilson Photography.
