More Changes to Glen Canyon Park

July 19, 2024 by Heather World

Now a neglected huddle of aged eucalyptus trees and occasional dumping ground, a swath of Glen Canyon Park near O’Shaughnessy Boulevard is planned to grow into an oak-shaded riparian corridor, with work already under way. The changes began last March when crews with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission removed 11 trees on each side […]

A plague of water main breaks causes woe for neighbors

June 26, 2024 by Bonnee Waldstein

A couple of years ago, a spokesperson for the SF Public Utilities Commission, in response to a water main break in the neighborhood, noted that San Francisco averages 200 water main breaks per year. It would seem Glen Park accounts for more than our fair share. Recently on June 21, a water main break caused […]

Workers from the San Francisco Department of Public Works (SFDPW) can be spotted in deep holes and trenches, replacing old water mains, as reported previously in the Glen Park News.

A broken water main at the corner of Chenery and Diamond Streets sent a gusher of water two feet up into the air Sunday afternoon around 2:00 PM, flooding the street and sending water down Diamond. The water pressure was so strong that parts of the asphalt and concrete at the edges of the hole […]

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director
