The North of Market / Tenderloin Community Benefit District (http://nom-tlcbd.org) is in the process of mailing their annual report. If you aren’t familiar with the Community Benefit District, it’s the organization that provides extra services to The Tenderloin neighborhood. Things like: cleaning, physical beautification (think tree planting), community marketing, safety and street level services for residents, businesses, visitors, and the unhoused population of San Francisco.
July 2008 – June 2009 CBD Service Accomplishments:
More than 2,500 graffiti tags were removed from private property.
Over 17,000 bags of litter were swept of the sidewalks and gutters.
2,376 needles were removed from the CBD area, and disposed of safely.
The CBD also supports the arts and artists in the district — like the mural on Jones and Talyor. Last fall they sponsored “Wonderland”. The exhibition was a large, multi-sited event born of, and responding to the rich diversities of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. The tenor of this project was truly unique, and called upon the collaborative efforts of the neighborhood’s residents and city organizations. (Wonderland)
