Fix-It Glen Park Update

June 21, 2018 by Sandra Zuniga, Fix-It Director

Thank you for your continued collaboration, Glen Park residents! Though we have stayed in touch with many of you over the last several months, this email includes a complete update on efforts to date in the Glen Park Fix-It Zone and information about upcoming efforts. Please feel free to share this email with neighbors who would appreciate our updates or have any questions. #FixItGlenPark


Glen Park Zone Boundaries

A map with all Fix-It Zones can be found on our website.


What’s Been Fixed

You asked – we fixed it! Here are highlights from our work in Glen Park. To learn more about the below efforts and other work in the neighborhood, email us at fixitteam@sfgov.org.

Flower Stand at BART

In conjunction with improvements in and around the BART station in the Glen Park Fix-It Zone, Fix-It worked with Public Works and BART management to repaint a flower stand located in the BART plaza. This stand had been heavily tagged and neglected. The painted stand is one of the first things visitors see when exiting BART. Along with new plantings and overall improved maintenance at the BART station, the repainted flower stand now provides an aesthetically pleasing site for flower shopping in the plaza.

Glen Park Earth Day Cleanup at Arlington St and San Jose Ave

Fix-It worked with the Glen Park Neighborhood association to organize a cleanup on Earth Day where volunteers worked to clear brush and pick up trash around San Jose Ave and Arlington St, a walkway for the neighborhood and top area of concern for the neighbors. After several hours of hard work, several dozen compost bags were filled and the walkway became much more accessible and beautiful. There is still more work to do, and another cleanup will be organized for Summer 2018.

Photos clockwise from top: 1) Walkway before any pruning or cleaning, 2) Brush clearing from the lower section of the walkway, 3) Packing a Recology truck with green waste, 4) Wrapping up the cleanup

Training Corridor Ambassadors

Public Works Corridor Ambassadors are a supplementary service to the Glen Park neighborhood and many neighborhoods throughout the city. They work hard to keep Glen Park’s sidewalks clean and call in other issues to Public Works. Fix-It holds special trainings with Corridor Ambassadors in Fix-It Zones to ensure they are aware of all the key concerns brought up by residents. The Corridor Ambassadors work Friday-Monday from 11am-7pm. If you see them, say hello!


6 Lights Repaired

Fix-It worked with the Public Utilities Commission address lighting issues.

12 Pruned, Removed or Planted Trees

Trees throughout Glen Park were addressed by Public Works.

3 Repaired Street Signs

Street signs throughout the neighborhood were repaired by SFMTA.


What’s Next

We know there is more work to do in Glen Park. The Fix-It Team is currently organizing a follow-up cleanup at Arlington and San Jose. Stay tuned for more information! If you have any questions or want more information about the City’s efforts in Glen Park, email us at fixitteam@sfgov.org.
