San Francisco Beautiful
2010 Beautification Award Winners

Each year we honor a group of projects that represent the best of San Francisco. Our four 2010 honorees illustrate the depth and breath of San Francisco and San Francisco Beautiful. Four projects; four scales; four quadrants of the city; and four creative ways citizen volunteers have risen to the challenge to make our urban villages greener and more vibrant.

Land’s End Revitalization: California Coastal Trail and Visitor Access Enhancements. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and National Park Service led the enhancement of this Golden Gate National Parks site. The project was funded by donors following the lead gifts of the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, and is supported by a dedicated group of volunteer Park Stewards.

Cohen Alley, rededicated as The Tenderloin National Forest. Two decades in the making, this alley in the heart of a challenged neighborhood has been transformed, with recent funding from the Art Commission and Mayor’s office, into a garden of redwood trees, performance and public art, classes and activities.

Creative vision, ingenuity, knowledge of horticulture and the inspirational leadership of Anne Shaw have transformed a leftover freeway “no man’s land” into an extraordinary collection of drought-tolerant native species, with the support of Caltrans, SF Department of Public Works, and the SF Parks Trust.

Mint Plaza. This former alley is now a public pedestrian plaza, donated to the City by the Martin Building Company, and maintained and managed by the non-profit Friends of Mint Plaza. With movable chairs for frequent events, this sophisticated design provides a new urban stage and a model for underutilized alleys throughout our inner city.
