<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A technique that can be used is cardboard sheet mulching. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically covering an area with overlapping cardboard sheets, and then covering the card board with mulch. In areas you want to plant, you can cut through the cardboard. The cardboard will biodegrade, so all is good. When you get the cardboard sheets, get cardboard <i><b>without tape or staples</b></i>, and ideally without writing either, these can usually be found at the big box stores such as below:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you have the cardboard sheets, you can lay them out in your garden, and cut the card board as needed for water pipes or plants.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I happen to have a lot of plants in pots, but that will change as spring planting begins.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">San Francisco Park and Recreation has agreed, to do a trial at McKinley Square of a Safe & Clean zone. An grass area attached to the kids playground area. This area will be a dog free zone. This is nothing against dogs, as many families have dogs, but indeed some dogs can sometimes be a little aggressive, and sometimes dog poop doesn't get (completely) picked up, and a toddler isn't always so careful about what they put their hands into.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This area will be intended to be for kids, but there is not a restriction that this area be kids only. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a trial, and if the community appreciates this it can be continued. If it is not wanted, it can be removed.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fence will need to purchased by the community, but it will be managed by Park & Recreation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fence/barrier is intended to be a non intrusive, yet functional fence, that a parent can step over, but children not so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the first time in 10+ years of living near McKinley Square I saw kids playing, and tumbling into the grass without any worries. This Kid Zone was so small, it does not take away from anyone's ability to enjoy the park which ever way they wished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From what I have seen, dog owners are very conscientious and respectful, and understand the desire for this zone. Maybe a few might have behaved poorly, or didn't understand, but all in all, I think everyone understands we are all part of the same community and everyone wants to have fun in the resources we have.</span><br />

What are they? sometimes called wild barley, foxtail weeds feature arrow shaped seeds that can be hazardous and fatal to dogs, getting caught in dogs toes, underbelly, and especially dangerous when inhaled in a dog's nose. Foxtails pop up every spring, and we have been eradicating them at McKinley Square and replacing them with native plants and grasses. We have been doing this for a number of years, but we can really use a large group to help remove them from the hillside in one shot. If we keep our efforts up, the foxtails will be virtually eliminated. Please join us.<br />

<br />
Clean cardboard (no tape, no staples) is a great source of for mulching.<br />
<br />
Below are some pictures of the cardboard mulching around native plants that were planted in <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=mckinley+square+san+francisco&hl=en&ll=37.759275,-122.404741&spn=0.002294,0.002108&safe=off&client=safari&hq=mckinley+square&hnear=San+Francisco,+California&t=h&z=19" target="_blank">McKinley Square</a> hillside in San Francisco.<br />
<br />
The need for the cardboard mulching is to prevent invasive weeds from blocking out sunlight for the young native plants. <br />
<br />
Such invasive plants include <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_pes-caprae" target="_blank">Oxalis</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxtail_(diaspore)" target="_blank">Foxtail</a> weeds, Oxalis, although not a hazard to dogs like fox Foxtail, contributes to the success of the Foxtail, as Oxalis is strong in rainy season, and Foxtail follows once the Oxalis goes dormant. Its a 1-2 punch against native plants. <br />
<br />
The native plants we are protecting with this cardboard mulching is <a href="http://www.plant-materials.nrcs.usda.gov/pubs/orpmcfs10785.pdf" target="_blank">Pacific Aster</a> & <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festuca_californica" target="_blank">California Fescue</a>.<br />
<br />
The cardboard itself will not be visible, as it will be covered with mulch, and then it will disintegrate after a few months.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cut the cardboard halfway through to the center and make a hole, so you can move the cardboard around the trunk of the plant or grass. In this case the cardboard was pre-sliced 3 times (from a case of bottles) which was still fine to use. </td></tr>

Once the card board is in place, cover it with wood chips, or other mulch, as was done to the California Fescue to the right and left. Note how these plants are surrounded by weeds such as Oxalis. Before the cardboard was put in place, it was almost impossible to see the California Fescue. With the protection against weeds given by the cardboard mulching, these California Fescue should succeed and thrive.<br />

<br />
Notably a few items that could make sense for McKinley Square:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>the mixture of native plantings in the middle of the playground area.</li>
<li>The "rock?" retaining walls.</li>
<li>A long slide [which was brought up a few times at the McKinley Community Meetings].</li>
<li>A telescope </li>
</ol>

<br />
This is part of a larger effort of hillside restoration, removing
invasive weeds, improving trails, removing trash & graffiti. All are
welcome to join. <br /> <br /> A sampling of the plants, and plant plugs
that have or are being put down are: <br /> <br />
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Sticky Monkey Flower (Mimulus
Aurantiacus), Perennial Aster (Aster chilensis), California Scorpion
Flower (Phacelia californica), Gum Plant (Grindelia camporum), Costal
Buckwheat (Eriogonum Latifolium), Red Fescue (Festuca rubra ‘Molate’) ,
California Fescue (Festuca californica ), Junegrass (Koeleria macrantha
), Deer Grass (Muhlenbergia rigens), Monardella Villosa (coyote mint),
Carex vulpinoidea (Brown fox sedge), Indian milkweed (Asclepias
eriocarpa ), Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis ), Showy
Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis), Silver Lupine (Lupinus albifrons),
Summer Lupine (Lupinus formosus ), Calfornia Melic (Melica californica),
One-sided Bluegrass (Poa secunda), Sea Thrift (Armeria) <br /> <br /> Each
planting effort we try to give plant plugs to each volunteer. Plants
that are good for the park & hillside are also good for our
backyards, perhaps even better. <br /> <br /> Lunch & drinks sponsored

<br />
Planning would be to have connecting stairs between the "enclave" to the hillside trails to the grass area of the Park.<br />
<br />
We are currently working with an architect & engineer on the design. If you would like to help us all are welcome.<br />

<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<br />
Attended by.<br />
Richard Drechsler, Tom Strother, Marjorie Goodwin, Joseph
Moore , Jane Westfield, Kelly Dennehy,
Cris Rys<br />
Jacob Gilchrist - SF Rec & Park COF Program Manager, Steve Cismowski - SF Rec & Park, Maria D'Angelico - SF Parks Alliance, John Merten - Studio Green<br />
<br />
Jacob GilChrist went over details of Community Opportunity Fund Grant. <br />
Grant is from 2008 Clean & Safe General Obligation Bond which
covers improvements since year 2000 are eligible as matching towards
this grant.<br />
<br />
Jacob explained grant is for capitol expenses, not
maintenance. <br />
<br />
Meeting then focused on applicability of the 15 items from Community
Planning meetings list. Items in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><i>bold italic</i></span> are planned be on this COF grant application.
Community
needs to determine costs, locations, and prioritize . <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Remove foxtails(YES but maybe as
match, not as part of grant. ) - as foxtails are largely preventing
use of the hillside, and thus for the park for its designated use, it
will be explored if it can be made a capitol expense. </span><br />
2. Manage Existing Trees (Not part of this grant)<br />
3. Southwest fencing - (Not part of this grant) Would be
Cal-Trans responsibility, would increase size of hillside usable area. <br />
4. Reforestation plan - (Not part of this grant)<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Vermont St Path (Stairs) - (YES)
Investigation / planning will need to occur in <span __postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date" class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date" style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">next 4</span> weeks. Wood or
Cement or ? (Need to verify this does not trigger ADA) </span><br />
6. New Pathway connections (Not part of this grant application.) For
area beyond current Cal-Trans fence. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Native planting & wildlife
habitat improvement (YES, part of grant, plants and resources will be
budgeted) </span><br />
8. Improve irrigation water access - (NA) Park & Rec will do, but
not part of grant application.<br />
9. Benches on hillside. (Can happen now), Community just needs to pick
spots for benches<br />
10. Benches on upper lawn area - (Can happen now), Community just
needs to pick spots for benches <br />
11. Improve Signage - On Park & Recreation to do list<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">12. Install lighting - (Maybe) This
item did not have strong consensus at this meeting, but did come from
community planning meetings so this item may be lower priority for
grant. </span><br />
13. Metal handrails on entrance stairs, (In progress) Park & Rec
work order is on its way<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">14. Kiosk at park entrance (YES,
will be part of grant)</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">15. Drinking fountain on hillside ,
middle trail. Yes but community is to decide where. ( French drain,
does this trigger ADA?)</span><br />
<br />
Jacob will provide a time in his office hours to go over 2011
COF Application to provide feedback on what we did well, and how we can
improve our COF Application this year. <br />
<br />
Long term investigate Nature Pave for middle (and other?)
trails? <br />
<br />
In the next week, (Wednesday evening?) there will be a meeting to pick location of
drinking fountain, bringing in additional members of the community. <br />
Investigation will take place if item 1) foxtail removal can be
made a capital expense. <br />
Details on stairs will need to be designed. <br />
Details on lighting (if to have them part of this grant request) will
need to be determined by priority and matching funds criteria.<br />
Contact John Paul Scott of mayor's office if any of this
triggers ADA. <br />
All items on COF grant application will need to be budgeted and
prioritized. <br />
<br />
Thanks again, we have some work to do, but I have a lot of confidence in
our ability to make this a success.McKinleySquarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08515036469862993328noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001031572218464832.post-4123725243061636202012-05-18T15:41:00.002-07:002012-06-22T11:23:38.519-07:00COF Grant Meeting for McKinley Square<br />

A draft of the plan is here:<br />
<br />
<div class="p1"><span class="s1"><a href="http://sfpark.org/resources/draft-mission-bay-parking-management-strategy/">http://sfpark.org/resources/draft-mission-bay-parking-management-strategy/</a></span></div><div class="p1"><br />
</div><br />
Some observations I've noted around the 4th & Townsend train station.<br />
<br />
<div class="p1"><br />
</div><div class="p2">In the past, I've seen the parking around the 4th & Townsend train station was completely filled with many vehicles in almost abandoned state . So in this case I would consider meters are not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps if they were managed well, people would carpool to the train station, then take the train for their commute.</div><div class="p3"><br />
</div><div class="p2">Parking meters have been added. A metered car can get a 9 hour max (which is good if you take the train to work day).</div><div class="p3"><br />
</div><div class="p2">However there are now hundreds of spaces available. Why the 100s of spaces? I checked the price at 11am yesterday the price was $3.00 an hour. Calculating this could be a <b>$27 dollar increase per day commute</b>, this only encourages people to drive to work rather than take Cal-Train. <b>This seems like it defeats the whole purpose of the Cal-Train. </b></div><div class="p3"><br />
</div><div class="p2">SFMTA representatives have stated their goal is to always have 1 empty space on a block. It seems like they are failing with the 4th & Townsend main train station area. </div><div class="p3"><br />
</div><div class="p2">SFMTA should encourage people to take mass transit such as Cal-Train. And the price for meters around the train stations should start at 25 cents hour, not $3 hour. </div><div class="p3"><br />
</div><div class="p2">Perhaps more parking (with reasonably priced meters) should be made available around the train stations, including the 22nd Street train station, which now seems to have parking for big-rig trucks, and other industrial projects instead of commuter parking. </div><div class="p3"><br />
</div><div class="p2">SFMTA can still adjust, perhaps something is already in the works, but until they prove themselves, can we can trust them to manage parking in Dog Patch & Potrero Hill?</div><br />
