SF Mayor Plans To Increase The City’s Budget For Street Cleaning By $12.8 million, and we sure do need it.
According to NBC Bay Area News...
Among other things, Farrell’s office announced Wednesday that the upcoming two-year budget will include:
- Five more staffed city pit-stop toilet sites and longer hours at the five locales that already exist.
- Forty-four new staffers for cleaning duties, four per each SF district.
- One additional street cleaning schedule just for the SoMa neighborhood, operating five days a week.
- $3.4 million worth of new equipment for Public Works cleanups.
Mayor Farrell told the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit “Last year, I stepped on a needle on my way back to city hall. I went back and made sure it didn't pierce through my shoe and it didn't...I’m sick and tired – as I believe residents of San Francisco are.”
