Join our beautification efforts! We meet from 6-7 pm on the third Monday of each month. To join the team email us: beautification@dtna.org 

Led by board members Paige Rausser Grey and Erik Honda, the Beautification Team’s goal is to make our neighborhood more beautiful. To that end we advocate with local government entities like the Department of Public Works to improve the quality of neighborhood amenities such as street trees and public buildings. We work with other large neighborhood stakeholders like CPMC and Safeway to help those corporations be good neighbors. We gather neighbors to fund and create plantings, street furniture, wayfinders, and public art to celebrate the diverse history and present of the Triangle. 

The Committee's priorities for 2026:

1. Finish wayfinding and lighting upgrades to the Market/Noe Plaza using funds from our Avenue Greenlight Grant

2. Engage in a public process to solicit mural art and other designs to upgrade the north entrance to the Triangle around Waller and Steiner, and write a grant for that too.

3. Advocate for DPW to complete the unfinished restoration of the brickwork, benches, and bulbouts on Noe Street, which have been stalled since 2023.

4. Support Kaz Westen’s Flower Castle team and help expand that vision throughout the neighborhood.

5. Encourage CPMC to follow through on commitments for campus upgrades and other neighborhood-serving amenities.

6. Work with Church Street neighbors to assess their priorities around sidewalk greening and the Safeway site.

7. Promote neighborhood clean up efforts, including monthly Refuse Refuse @ Duboce Park and weekly LoHaMNA @ Tarragon Cafe.
