other nearby neighborhoods at
the last Community Clean Team
of the year.
The workday, which was
co-sponsored by District 7
Supervisor Norman Yee’s office,
kicked off at Lowell High
School on Eucalyptus Drive.
From there, volunteers broke
off into teams to beautify a
total of 12 locations, ranging
from community gardens, to
street medians and commercial
corridors.
Volunteers were spotted planting
street trees at the intersection of
Ocean and Plymouth avenues,
removing graffiti along the
Great Highway, refreshing
street furniture on Junipero
Serra Boulevard, picking up
litter around Lake Merced and
pruning overgrown plants at the
Portola and Miraloma Triangle
median.
In addition to cleaning up public
spaces around the neighborhood,
our corporate partner, Recology,
provided bulky item disposal and
free compost to residents from
both District 7 and 5.
