Precita Valley Neighbors Report 2/10 Meeting
Precita Valley Neighbors meets 2nd Saturdays, 10 am to 11 am At Charlie’s Deli (Precita/Folsom)
CONTACTS: PVN Co-Chairpersons are David Robinson (285-5957), Gary Richmond (641-0115) and Demece Garepis (641-0507).
Report of meeting with leadership of Cesar Chavez Puede, re: a bigger area-wide traffic study. David Robinson and Demece Garepis met with leader Fran Taylor. Judge has ordered a professional environmental study, which will result in a slower timeline. PVN and CCP will jointly support and work on this broader study, which will now include 25, 26, and Precita streets.
The talk with Adam Gubser, Bernal Area Traffic Planner was postponed. Reimbursement will be made if there are pocket expenses by the "Butterfly Garden Planter" (?)
A probable sale of property by the Catholic Diocese for development of housing - likely condos. A Bernal Heights delegation may attempt to change the church’s mind and consider NON-PROFIT AFFORDABLE housing units. Current occupant, Metro High School vacates in the summer.
SF police have said that home break-ins are usually "daytime" and through "open back doors". Car stealing rates have risen.
Bruno DeMartis is a neighbor and a Solar Power Consultant, who was going to speak with us on how we can organize a bulk solar panel purchase and installation – greatly reducing individual homeowner costs. INFO: Email and Web.
PVN hasa little money in its 501c3 account, received in the past from different park awards. The San Francisco Parks Trust, has, in the past, offered its direct support for Music in the Park, Butterfly Garden, Work Days, etc. Now our account now has been moved from former host Bernal Community Center to current host SF Parks Trust, which offers more services and free activity Insurance.
The planning is about to begin for a neighborhood mid- September Friday or Saturday event. Want to work on this? Contact: drinsf@pacbell.net
A pair has been spotted, by different people at different times, living on the hill!
Some Garbage Bins are not being put back off the street after the garbage collection. It has become both a public health, and beautification problem. Also, the current Park Bins, especially in the playground area, overflow almost every week, especially on the weekend.
One store in the whole Bern al Heights area (Alabama and Precita) is open each morning until 2:00 am. The rest close at midnight, as do all the Mission Precinct similar stores. This attracts loitering, drug deal galore, noise, and other neighborhood detractors. A delegation is going to go talk with Supervisor Ammianno, asking his help in getting some help in dealing with the issue.
