Terra Linda Community Garden:
Commissioners reviewed the pending ADA compliant access improvements and discussed the
general operation of the Community Garden Program.

over the condition of the property. The area is frequented by school students going to and from
Vallecito and Mark Day Schools, and the overgrowth, storage of wood chips, lack of sight line,
deteriorating benches are security and safety concerns. Neighbors also expressed willingness to
fundraise for the proposed improvements reviewed during the Measure A priority setting
sessions.

are closed for public use due to deterioration. Neighbors are complaining about the conditions
