On February 27, 2014, more than 300 contractors, City department leaders and construction industry executives joined Mayor Edwin M. Lee to officially kick off San Francisco’s partnering program. Partnering brings contractors and City departments together to foster better communication and build trust. Successful partnering delivers projects on time and on budget, with the highest quality, and increases job satisfaction and safety. With more than $25 billion of City projects coming up over the next 10 years, the goal is to work better together.

Our urban forest is a complex system of trees, plants, wildlife, soil, air and water within the city including the many people who care for and enjoy it.
The San Francisco Urban Forest Plan was created to preserve, replace and grow the City's tree canopy so that residents and visitors alike can experience the canopy's social, economic and environmental benefits now and for years and generations to come.
To reduce vandalism and litter in the City, Public Works encourages private property owners to comply with city codes by promptly returning their garbage and recycling toters from the street after collection, and placing them behind enclosures that keep them hidden from public view.
Toters that are left out too long on streets and sidewalks, or within plain view, are vulnerable to graffiti, vandalism, theft and scavenging that often produces litter. They also obstruct the public right of way.
