After a series of disheartening photos of Mission Street highlighted severe littering, the Department of Public Works responded promptly by deploying workers to clear trash. By 8:38 a.m., the street already appeared cleaner due to the diligent efforts of both the DPW teams and residents like Fredisha, who actively participated in the cleanup. Additionally, a fire incident related to a pair of skis prompted further cleanup actions at the nearby BART station. Overall, the community and municipal collaboration aimed to improve the area’s appearance.
It's just a mess and someone has to clean it up, said Fredisha, a homeless resident who was actively participating in the cleanup of Mission Street.
By the time I rounded the corner of Mission and 16th at 8:38 a.m., the Department of Public Works had arrived in force and crews were busy scooping up and clearing out the trash.
