Local Greening Hero Ming Louie Passes Away

Longtime Sunnysider and dedicated local volunteer Ming Louie passed away yesterday evening. He will be missed by by all who knew him, but the work he did on behalf of our local green spaces in Sunnyside will live on.

Ming Louie ( center) with Pat Moore, SNA Greening Committee Chair, and Ed Lee, San Francisco Mayor, in Sept 2011, at the dedication ceremony for the Circular Ribbon Garden.

Ming had the terrible misfortune to be hit by a car on Monterey Boulevard in 2016, the first of a series of pedestrian/cyclist injuries and deaths that led to the street being designated a High Injury Corridor by the City. Read more about that here and here.
