Happy !!

Taking care of trees is second nature for us. The work has been part of Public Works' portfolio for a long time.

Here Arborist Technician Matthew Saxton removes a hazardous tree from the landscaped traffic island in the 200 block of Vasquez Avenue on May 11, 1987.

This week, Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman presented special commendations at City Hall to four of our block sweepers assigned to the Castro, saying their work sweeping the sidewalks, removing graffiti and weeding tree basins helps keep the iconic neighborhood clean, welcoming and safe for everyone. “Their work makes a visible difference in the day-to-day experience of the Castro.”

Congrats to the crew members Nylddy Cruz, William Hatfield, Olieng Panyanouvong and LaTanya Williams!

With support from Public Works, 40 volunteers joined forces this past weekend to spread out mulch at the Mayfair Drive Street Park. Public Works helped provide the mulch and A-frames for the beautification effort.

Thank you to the hard-working volunteers for sprucing up the neighborhood! 💪💚

Today, we mark 25 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks with remembrance and reflection.

The City and County of San Francisco - Government stands in solidarity with New York City and communities across our nation as we honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and all who responded with courage and compassion. May we continue to carry forward the spirit of unity, service, and humanity that brought us together in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We remember. We stand together. We will never forget. 💙
