Neighborhood wins along Sunset Boulevard would never have been possible without the support of local leaders, businesses and our dear community.

City Administrator Carmen Chu

Thank you for helping District 4 secure boulevard funding in both 2022 and 2024 budget cycles with a combined impact of ~$5 million.

Fun Fact: Carmen was also D4's former supervisor from 2007 to 2013.

Supervisor Joel Engardio

Thank you for securing $4.9 million to maintain Sunset Boulevard to convert the Boulevard to gray water by 2026. In the summer of 2025, trees along Sunset Boulevard were getting regularly maintained and grass was getting cut.

Former Supervisor Gordon Mar

Thank you for partnering with us over +3 years in securing $2.4 million to maintain and kick-start the Boulevard's gray water conversion. This is the first time the boulevard has been funded after +10 years of neglect.

Former Supervisor Katy Tang

Thank you for spearheading neighborhood clean-ups along Sunset Boulevard.

Fun Fact: Supervisor Tang came up with our group's original name, Friends of Sunset Boulevard, which has since been renamed the Sunset Boulevard Conservatory to improve conditions along the boulevard's greenway.

State Senator Scott Weiner

Thank you for securing $1.5M to revitalize Sunset Blvd. $1.0M is state funding allocated to the recycled water project and $500K will launch a new maintenance and workforce training program, a partnership of Recreation and Park, the Northern California Laborers Training Center and Public Works.

This video was independently created by DPW in 2018. It perfectly encapsulates the potential along Sunset Boulevard. With proper funding and execution from the city, this vision can be fully realized.

"We're using this as an opportunity to reinvent the 21st century Boulevard...Instead of just being grass and lawn, that picks up a lot of water as well, it's going to be this native habitat as well." Jennifer Cooper-Sabo, DPW Landscape Architect

"We are looking at the health of existing trees, and how we need to plan for succession." Mike Rieger, Project Manager SF Public Works

"It's not just people who use it, but all the animals that use it as a byway." Brain Lease, Former DPW Lead Gardener
