Your Dollars at Work Green Infrastructure Helps Us Manage Stormwater We are excited to announce the opening of the Mission & Valencia Streets Green Gateway (MVGG). This plaza uses rain gardens to help reduce stormwater runoff entering the sewer system, and sidewalk bulb outs to improve the safety and comfort of the area. The project also includes San Francisco’s first raised, parking protected cycle track to enhance safety for bicyclists. MVGG is a partnership of the SFPUC, City Planning, Public Works, and SFMTA.
