In 2011, San Francisco Beautiful recognized the city’s Pavement to Parks Program with a Beautification Award. With a focus on activating our streets and sidewalks, the San Francisco Planning Department, the Department of Public Works and the Municipal Transportation Agency are reclaiming underutilized spaces in the public realm by creating vibrant, beautiful gathering spaces.
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.
