DHIC’s Spring Gathering brought together neighbors and several key city leaders: Rafael Mandelman, our district supervisor, and Dennis Richards, a San Francisco Planning Commissioner (more on his remarks and key legislation HERE.)
Supervisor Mandelman provided updates on neighborhood/district issues and answered neighbors questions. He also introduced Jessica Closson, our new District 8 Safety Coordinator. Jessica is meeting with community groups to identify top safety issues and how she can help us address them.
Before the gathering, neighbors met for the monthly Green Gardens clean-up. They worked to clear and trim the green areas adjacent to the Sanchez Steps (above 19th Street.) Everyone is welcome to this first Saturday event. There will be no stairway clean-up in July but we’ll be back in action on Saturday, August 3. For more info, see Green Gardens announcement in our next newsletter or write stairs@doloresheights.org.
