About the Bridge Garden

The Mission Terrace Bridge Garden Project is a community effort to reclaim a neglected and blighted open space at the entranceway of the pedestrian bridge at the eastern portion of the neighborhood.

What We Have Done

• Neighbors created a design and applied for grants in early 2006.
• In late May 2006 we were awarded a grant of $16,000 from the San Francisco Community Challenge Grant to turn the design into a reality.
• We have partnered with San Francisco Clean City Coalition to act as our sponsor for this project.
• The contract with the city has been finalized and DPW will be reinstalling the water meter.
• A third expansion of the garden will occur in early December 2007 to plant the area recently cleared by CalTrans near the highway exit.
• Bridge Garden Volunteers have participated in community events to publicize the project and gather more volunteers.
• Before and after photographs plus photographs of each work day. Check out the progress and volunteer effort.
