just wanted to say thank you to you and
your team. My husband and I do sweep
the street regularly and pick up needles,
but there are some things we don’t have
the equipment to deal with. We’re
grateful for all you do.

I just wanted to shoot you a quick
message and say thank you. Public
Works is truly amazing in responding to
neighborhood issues. It’s so refreshing
to send things off and not have to worry
about it anymore – I know with your
team, it’s taken care of. I sing the praises
of Public Works all the time but wanted
to let you know. I’d just like to say how much I appreciate
the Pit Stop project. I live in the Haight-
Ashbury area and catch the bus over by
the Pit Stop. The attendant who works
at this Pit Stop is wonderful. He's very
friendly, diligent and really makes the
whole area feel safe and welcoming. I've
been catching the bus at this stop for a
while and I really feel that since the Pit
Stop opened, it's been a much better
place to wait. So thank you for your work
on this project and props to the awesome
attendant who works at my local Pit
Stop.

When I use the 311 app or call in with
a problem that needs a response from
Public Works, the response is timely,
thorough and satisfactory, so kudos to
Public Works. I noticed that the landscaping in the
center median on Sunset was recently
cleaned up; the efforts are noticed and
very much appreciated. I was so pleased
to see that it was finally taken care of,
and it looks even better now than it did
when they first installed it.

I’m writing to thank you for the
incredible service Public Works has
been providing to our beleaguered street
corner recently. I live on Tehama Street
near the corner of Eighth Street and
we have been having huge problems
recently with a number of overnight and
daytime campers, who have been leaving
trash and human waste on an almost
daily basis. This past weekend your guys
had been out several times to clean up
some bad messes, and yesterday they
did a pressure-hose washdown of the
doorways that are constantly used as a
toilet, right across from our home.
I know this is not pleasant work, and I
Can't thank all of you enough for your
help, support and general wonderfulness!
The volunteer workday was a very big
success, thanks in large part to the work
of Public Works and all of you who
are a part of Urban Forestry. We had
at least 13 volunteers come out to help
and we have lots of ideas for ongoing
ways to make our park the best place for
everyone. Please give everyone from the
crew who showed up today our thanks.
We are so very grateful to you all.
