San Francisco Public Works Annual Report Fiscal Year 2015-16 | Page 25

The program is about residents and
businesses coming together to invest in
making their neighborhoods nicer places.
At Public Works, we’re excited to help
create the nation’s pioneer Green Benefit
District – the outcome of a community
process to empower neighborhoods
and provide additional resources for
landscaping and park beautification
projects.

Angel Alley, in San Francisco’s
Dogpatch neighborhood,
came to life this fiscal year
– marking the first Green
Benefit District project to be
completed under the program.
The alley, once a gritty dead-
end patch of Tennessee Street
between Tubbs and 22nd
streets, has blossomed into a
neighborhood-serving street
park with palm trees, seating,
a fountain and a succulent
garden.
