In 2004, the area’s property owners voted overwhelmingly to assess themselves an annual fee that goes towards maintaining and improving the streetscape, supporting businesses, and marketing Telegraph Avenue starting from 40th to 66th Street, including small portions of Shattuck Ave, 51st , and Claremont. We encourage property owners, merchants and residents to join our committees: Design, Economic Development, Promotion, & Security, dedicated to the vibrancy of Temescal and upper Telegraph. Ideas developed in these committees become the action plans for the Board of Directors.
