The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Land Use and Transportation Committee recommended a resolution urging the Controller’s City Services Auditor and the Department of Public Works to develop objective streetscape and landscape maintenance standards. This initiative aims to define benchmark maintenance standards for various public spaces including trees, landscaping, planting areas, irrigation infrastructure, street furniture, seating, and decorative elements. The resolution emphasizes that well-maintained streetscapes and landscape assets are crucial for supporting small businesses and economic development on commercial corridors. The City Services Auditor, created by Proposition C in 2003, is tasked with collecting data and measuring the condition of public spaces. The resolution calls for data-driven operational decisions and efficient resource alignment for maintenance.
