Time to Step It Up and Have Some Neighborhood Fun!
Join us on February 23, 2019 from 12 noon until 2 pm to celebrate the kick-off event for two approved proposals that will be on the the District 7 Participatory Budget ballot for 2019:
- Lighting Sunnyside’s Detroit Steps for Safety and Visibility
- Preparing Sunnyside’s Detroit Steps for Landscaping and Art
Complementary food, drinks, crafts for the kids, and more information about both projects will be available. The two proposals are part of a multi-step process that will culminate with a public art and landscaping project on the Upper and Lower Detroit Steps. These two proposals and the kick-off event are supported by the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association.
Of this double proposal, project leader Rosaura Valle said “This is an exciting, truly community-led project!” This year District 7 is the only district in San Francisco where constituents propose projects to improve the safety, beauty, and livability of their neighborhoods. This year there is $650,000 in funding set aside for projects that all District 7 residents (16 years and older) may vote for in mid-March. Residents can vote for multiple projects in each category and projects are located all over District 7. This event is a celebration of two such projects.
- Detroit Steps Kick-off Party on Saturday, February 23 (12 noon-2 pm).
- Come to the bottom of the Detroit Steps at Hearst Avenue.
- Free food, drinks, and arts and crafts for kids.
- Open to everyone, regardless of the District you live in.

February 21, 2019 at 9:58 pmWe are very happy that District 7 Participatory Budget program enables neighbors to come together to improve their community and address issues such as better lighting on the Detroit Steps for safety and visibility, and repairing the Steps to prepare them for future art work. This will benefit the whole Monterey corridor!

March 22, 2019 at 12:09 pmhow do we vote? there are no links on either the Glen Park Site or the Sunnyside site. And the link they gave (that we have to write down & then type out b/c it’s not a clickable link & it’s a picture of text / not text) says voting is closed even though there should be 6 more days to vote… this link: https://sfpbd.sfgov.org/district7vote

March 22, 2019 at 12:14 pmOH! I see. The flyer I received about this says voting is from March 18-28 but there is an online archived update on the Sunnyside site that says it is now April 1-14th. It would still be nice to have a working link to the ballot.
