253 Parker Ave, between Geary and Anza.

If S.F. grants this new building the requested "sidewalk encroachment, 5 feet,  the upslope will  be

32 degrees..... 10% steeper than Duncan Street, as seen below. Without the Encroachment:

37 Degrees.

These two pics show  Duncan Street, in Noe Valley, between Diamond and Douglass Streets,  a 28 degree slope....

If S.F.  does not grant a "5 foot sidewalk easement to  the new "'three unit condo building at 253 Parker, the resultant  up-slope driveway will be a 37 Degree grade...  37 Degrees!  ..making the garage only accessible  to "mountain goats".

A beautiful example of  "Sidewalk Encroachment" now possible via the DPW  "Green Sidewalks"  efforts.

New "Double Encroachment" In the name of landscaping….. I would do this in a minute, on Parker. - jackbarry99@gmail.com - Gmail

New "Double Encroachment" : A Greener San Francisco Sidewalk….


This gorgeous  "sidewalk encroachment"  is at 1430 Ninth Avenue, steps south of  Ninth and Judah.

Note that there is a "two square walking space", between the landscaping, and still one more square beyond the landscaping, next to the curb,....for entry to parked cars.

Note that the landscaping  nearest to the house is the first like them on the block, from end to end.
It is hoped that other home owners will follow the lead of these  "home owner- artists."
