It looms over Division and 13th Streets and carves into the nexus of centrally-located neighborhoods and City districts. It is a significant hazard\, with several of the city’s most dangerous intersections underneath or part of the Central Freeway. Toxic vehicle and roadway particulates adversely affect nearby residents and workers. It blocks countless benefits\, like desperately needed new housing\, new transit opportunities\, and green space. Its vestigial infrastructure is a barrier to neighborhood connectivity. It must go. \n \nEnter Vision Blvd\, a grassroots San Francisco campaign that calls for the complete removal of the Central Freeway once and for all. We are a group of designers\, public school educators\, traffic engineers\, and community members who deeply care about San Francisco and want to see it reach its full potential\, but we can’t do this alone. \n \nFor the first time since the inception of Vision Blvd\, we are entering a phase of important fundraising that will help us accomplish our goals. Here are the two main areas of need we are looking to address: \n\nResearch and Studies: Vision Blvd will help sponsor studies centered on transportation\, housing\, environmental impacts\, and opportunities for green space along the 13th and Division Streets corridor. Professionals with deep expertise will conduct these studies and help us develop a proposal that satisfies all stakeholders\, looks to the future\, and addresses all community needs.\nEvents & Organization: Vision Blvd is currently a pro bono effort. However\, there are various costs\, like maintaining our digital resources and creating promotional materials. We will also host various events all over San Francisco to highlight our effort\, spread awareness\, gather community input\, and have fun. For example\, we will host a block party on June 1st\, requiring City permits\, campaign materials\, tables\, canopies\, entertainment\, food and drinks\, and many other resources.\n\n\nVision Boulevard Block Party URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/vision-boulevard-block-party/ LOCATION:Elgin Park\, Elgin Park\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States CATEGORIES:Fundraiser ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Elgin-Park-Block-Party-Flyer_map.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240518T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240518T140000 DTSTAMP:20260512T113040 CREATED:20240517T230730Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240523T170709Z UID:71613-1716026400-1716040800@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Green Space Celebration of Treat Avenue DESCRIPTION:Join Greening Projects and Terrain Studios on May 18\, 2024\, for the second Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat. \nGreening Projects and Terrain Studios will unveil a glimpse of Treat Avenue’s proposed future on May 18\, 2024\, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM\, during the second “Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat” at Treat Avenue and 16th Street in San Francisco. \nThe Fiesta is a series of activations supported by “Into the Streets SF\,” a non-profit founded in 2023 that funds neighborhood collaborations that reclaim and environmentally regenerate San Francisco’s streets. \n“We’re excited to showcase the neighborhood’s ideas about transforming this street into something that benefits the Eastern Mission and the environment\,” said Jorge Romero-Lozano\, founder of Greening Projects. This non-profit organization specializes in creating as much green space as feasible within our built environment. “We know the Mission lacks green spaces for families but is also unprepared for climate change. Residents and business owners have been fighting flooding in this area for more than 150 years. Greening unaccepted streets like Treat Avenue connects two goals: creating open space for residents and room for the historic waters of Mission Creek.” \nDuring the first Fiesta\, the landscape architecture firm Terrain Studio solicited ideas from nearby residents about what they’d like to see in the now-paved avenue stretch of Treat. \nAccording to Scott Slaney\, Principal of Terrain Studio\, the discussion about transforming Treat Avenue into an ecologically resilient space demonstrated that nearby residents strongly preferred community access and use. \n“Based on the wealth of community input received\, we’ve developed concepts guided by what residents think matters most: a simple\, easily accessible space that makes it easy to walk\, bike\, and gather in this part of the Mission\,” said Slaney. \nSlaney will share renderings of four conceptual alternatives for this stretch of Treat Avenue\, one of San Francisco’s 2\,000+ unaccepted streets. \nView the Presentation\n“We see this activation as compatible with SFPUC’s efforts to improve drainage of this area\,” said Slaney. “We know that any thoughtful re-design of Treat Avenue is a plan best achieved by taking our time to work with the neighborhood and the city.” \nBrought to you by: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Greening Projects\n \n \n \n \n \n Terrain Studio\n \n \n \n \n \n Into the Streets SF\n \n \n \n \n \n SF Planning\n \n \n \n \n \n SFOEWD\n \n \n \n \n \n SF Public Works\n \n \n \n \n \n Latin American Mission Mom’s Committee (LMMC)\n \n \n \n\nFiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat\nÚnase a Greening Projects y Terrain Studios el 18 de mayo de 2024 para la segunda Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat. \nGreening Projects y Terrain Studios darán un vistazo al futuro propuesto de la Avenida Treat el 18 de mayo de 2024\, de 10:00 a.m. a 2:00 p.m.\, durante la segunda “Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat” en la Avenida Treat y la calle 16 en San Francisco. \nLa Fiesta es una serie de activaciones apoyadas por “Into the Streets SF”\, una organización sin fines de lucro fundada en 2023 que financia colaboraciones vecinales que recuperan y regeneran ambientalmente las calles de San Francisco. \n“Estamos emocionados de mostrar las ideas del vecindario sobre transformar esta calle en algo que beneficie al Eastern Mission y al medio ambiente”\, dijo Jorge Romero-Lozano\, fundador de Greening Projects. Esta organización sin fines de lucro se especializa en crear el máximo espacio verde posible dentro de nuestro entorno construido. “Sabemos que a la Misión le faltan espacios verdes para las familias\, pero también está poco preparada para el cambio climático. Los residentes y propietarios de negocios han estado luchando contra las inundaciones en esta área durante más de 150 años. Reverdecer las calles no aceptadas como Treat Avenue conecta dos objetivos: crear espacio abierto para los residentes y espacio para las aguas históricas de Mission Creek”. \nDurante la primera Fiesta\, la firma de arquitectura paisajista Terrain Studio solicitó ideas a los residentes cercanos sobre lo que les gustaría ver en el tramo pavimentado actual de la avenida Treat. \nSegún Scott Slaney\, Director Principal de Terrain Studio\, la discusión sobre transformar la Avenida Treat en un espacio ecológicamente resistente demostró que los residentes cercanos preferían en gran medida el acceso y uso comunitarios. \n“Con base en la gran cantidad de aportes de la comunidad recibidos\, hemos desarrollado conceptos guiados por lo que los residentes creen que es más importante: un espacio sencillo y fácilmente accesible que facilite caminar\, andar en bicicleta y reunirse en esta parte de la Misión”\, dijo Slaney. \nSlaney compartirá representaciones de cuatro alternativas conceptuales para este tramo de la Avenida Treat\, una de las más de 2\,000 calles no aceptadas de San Francisco. \nVer la presentación\n“Vemos esta activación como compatible con los esfuerzos de SFPUC para mejorar el drenaje de esta área”\, dijo Slaney. “Sabemos que cualquier rediseño reflexivo de la Avenida Treat es un plan que se logra mejor tomándose el tiempo para trabajar con el vecindario y la ciudad”. \n  \n\n\n\nGreen Space Celebration of Treat Avenue URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/green-space-celebration-of-treat-avenue/ LOCATION:Treat Avenue between 15th and Harrison Streets.\, Treat Avenue between 15th and Harrison Streets.\, San Francisco\, CA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/treat-rendering.png ORGANIZER;CN="Greening Projects":MAILTO:info@greeningprojects.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240323T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240323T140000 DTSTAMP:20260512T113040 CREATED:20240307T164058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240307T213239Z UID:71512-1711188000-1711202400@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Treat Avenue Greenspace Event DESCRIPTION:Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat\nLes invitamos a un convivio en la Avenida Treat entre las Calles 15 y Harrison \nel sábado\, 23 de marzo 2024 de las 10 AM a 2 PM. \nEl propósito es visualizar un futuro cierre de calle permanente en esta cuadra para crear un espacio verde.

To that end\, a collaboration of people is working to develop these events and invite the community to provide input. \nThe event will entail the following: \n\nBlock the street at either end\, as shown on the attached site plan.\nThe street will be blocked\, in part\, with movable wooden planters\, which will help provide some of the “greening” efforts we are promoting.\nWe will provide information tables\, as well as activities for children\, such as face painting\, coloring\, and some arts and crafts\, which will reflect the following holiday cultures:\n\nSince the first event is on St. Patrick’s Day\, we want to include Irish culture in the activities.\nSince March 12 is the Mexica New Year\, we also want to include this holiday\, which celebrates indigenous and Latinx cultures.\n\n\nThere will be patio-style tables and chairs\, which will help people see the potential of turning this section of Treat Avenue into a green space.\nWe will also provide a chart and comment slips\, which people will use to provide input regarding what they want to see on-site if the street is turned into a public space.\nWe are also working with Latina Mission Moms on this event since they promote such space-making and opportunities for places to gather outside.\nWe have been in discussions with city agencies regarding the proposed future street-to-park conversion:\n\nJimmer Cassiol\, DPW\nPatrick Race\, Planning Department – Patrick expressed the desire to participate in this application and help facilitate the process.\n\nrace@sfgov.org\nDirect No. 628-652-7461\n\n\nJen Ferrigno\, District 9 legislative aide\n\n\nInput from the March 17 event will be used by Terrain Studio\, landscape architects\, to produce a site plan and rendering of what the future park conversion might look like\nThe May 18\, 2024\, event will be similar to the March 17 event\, but with the addition of presenting the landscape architects’ plans and renderings to the community\, which will help to confirm what people would like to have on the site\, as well as to submit to public agencies for the potential project.\n\n  \nTreat Avenue Greenspace Activation URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/treat-avenue-greenspace-activation/ LOCATION:Treat Avenue between 15th and Harrison Streets.\, Treat Avenue between 15th and Harrison Streets.\, San Francisco\, CA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/1707091713273-bc588fd2-120e-4baf-8720-c0073c2b837f_1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Greening Projects":MAILTO:info@greeningprojects.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221203T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221203T180000 DTSTAMP:20260512T113040 CREATED:20221026T212455Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221026T212455Z UID:124-1670083200-1670090400@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Ogden Avenue Tree lighting DESCRIPTION:On December 3rd\, the Ogden Avenue Parks committee will host the first ever “Lighting of the Ogden Avenue Norfolk Pine Trees\,” which we hope will become an annual event.\n\nHello neighbors!\n\n\nOgden Avenue Tree Lighting \n\n\nYou are receiving this email because you are involved or have.
