Greening Guerrero Street

This is reprinted from an email I received today...

The San Jose/Guerrero Coalition to Save our Streets along with Zephyr Real Estate is planning to plant the center medians on San Jose Avenue and Guerrero Street on November 4th, 2006 from 20th Street to 30th Street. An initial pilot planting on Guerrero between Cesar Chavez and Duncan Streets was met with much praise.

In addition to beautifying the corridor the goal of the planting is to instill traffic calming, reduce traffic accidents and make the streets safer for pedestrians. All the trees, shrubs and plants are drought tolerant with minimal care needed.

If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation to support the planting, make your checks payable to "Friends of the Urban Forest" and write "Greening Guerrero" in the memo section. Mail your checks to: Steve Kopff, 50 Valley Street, San Francisco, CA 94110. For more information check out the website at http://www.sanjoseguerrero.com/ or call 415 824-2975.
