In 2009, San Francisco Beautiful recognized Clementina Cares with a Beautification Award. The landscaping and ongoing maintenance of Clementina, Tehama and Gallagher Alleys in the South of Market was implemented and is maintained by a coalition of neighborhood entities known as ‘ClementinaCares’. Trees, murals, lighting and regular street and sidewalk cleaning have made this area into a family-friendly neighborhood.
For more than 40 years, San Francisco Beautiful has been honoring San Franciscans who make special contributions to the unique character and beauty of our City with the Annual Beautification Awards.
