October's Monthly Events

MONTHLY MEETING
October's monthly meeting took place as usual on the third Monday of the month at It's A Grind on Polk Street at 7pm. We had a merchant spotlight on Elizabeth Shypertt from Velvet Da Vinci (2015 Polk) and covered the following items on the agenda:
- Committee updates (Planning, Trees & Beautification)
- Russian Hill's "Greening the Broadyway Tunnel"
- DPW Corridor's update by Deputy Director Mohammed Nuru
- Lights Our San Francisco
- MPNA Year End Assessment and Survey

CLEAN UP
Thank you to all our volunteers who join us each month, and all those who just come when they can. The bad weather lifted that day and we had sunshine for our cleanup, before heading to Victor's Pizza for lunch.

Employing a ZERO TOLERANCE for illegal dumping on the sidewalks, we called 311 to report abandoned trash that should be removed by either DPW or the scavenger company. Remember, old furniture, computer equipment, appliances and other over-sized pieces of trash should NEVER be abandoned on the sidewalk in the hopes that it will just 'go away'. This puts the burden of cleanup on tax dollars and a struggling city budget! If you have furniture or bulky trash items you would like to get rid of, please call one of the scavenger companies for a special trash or recycling pick-up. They will both instruct you as to when and where to put the items so that they can get them in a timely manner, and you won't be 'trashing' the neighborhood. Thanks!
