Excelsior Greening and Seating
If you haven't strolled down Mission Street lately, you might not have noticed the two new streetside gardens at Mission and Geneva and at Persia and Mission. In April and May, volunteers descended on Mission Street to create inviting and beautiful public spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Shine a Bright Light on the ExcelsiorThe Shine a Bright Light on Excelsior (SBLE) program was a grassroots safety initiative of EAG, sponsored by PG&E, that was first proposed by Excelsior community members in a general meeting hosted by EAG in February 2012. The program goals were to promote safety directly on the Excelsior commercial corridor, educate merchants about crime prevention through environmental design concepts, increase the perception of safety and enhance the environmental sustainability of businesses on the corridor through the provision of energy efficient lighting. The program involved the distribution of energy efficient light bulbs and educational posters for display in every small business on the Excelsior’s Commercial Corridor. The outreach was conducted by trained Safety Liaison volunteers.
