From planting trees to refreshing the playground, Teralta Park Beautification Day showed what’s possible when neighbors come together.

Two hundred volunteers joined us to beautify University Avenue in City Heights. In partnership with the City Heights Business Improvement District and Maintenance Assessment District, Beautify the Block revitalized one of our neighborhood’s busiest corridors. 

City Heights has secured $3.3 million to fund infrastructure improvements near the SR-15 freeway, areas where pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and transit riders all navigate shared space. These investments aim to make our streets safer, more accessible, and better connected, while aligning with the community priorities outlined in our 2024 Development Without Displacement report.

City Heights residents participate in a new pilot program focused on air quality education and access to free air purifiers.

As we reach the halfway point of the year, data continues to reveal alarming patterns of traffic violence along high-risk corridors in our neighborhoods. It’s time for the City to take proactive steps to protect pedestrians and invest in infrastructure that saves lives.
