Cesar Chavez Community Design Workshop
The second installment of the Cesar Chavez Community Design Workshop happens this Tuesday, August 26, 6-7:30pm at Leonard Flynn Elementary School, 3125 Cesar Chavez Street.
The project's goals are to:
Make Cesar Chavez Street a safer place for people by improving crossings, widening sidewalks, and enhancing lighting;
Redesign Cesar Chavez Street with high quality landscaping, gracious trees, pedestrian lighting, and other design treatments;
Reconnect the neighborhood by making Cesar Chavez Street a destination, rather than a divide;
Improve the area’s natural ecology by integrating stormwater design elements into the street;
Improve bicycle connections and safety in both directions;
Ensure that traffic doesn’t spill over into surrounding neighborhoods.
Next week, please join us for the 2nd Cesar Chavez Street Design workshop. Staff will present two design alternatives for Cesar Chavez Street based on feedback from the first community workshop in May.

Chainsaws at 1:30am on Treat?!?!
Why was someone in a City of SF vehicle cutting up a fallen tree on the 1500 block of Treat at 1:30am on Monday morning?
I know there are a lot of fallen trees in the city right now, but really, chain saws at 1:30am in the morning?
This is the tree (as seen Friday) that they were cutting on:

Thanks for the Tree!
The San Francisco Giants sponsored a large tree planting (as part of Arbor day) in the triangle at Cesar Chavez Street and Precita Avenue. This nice tree is a lovely addition to the neighborhood, and beautifies an otherwise drab corner.
