Tonight, the Inner Sunset Merchants Association will hold a meeting to discuss neighborhood plans to create a Green Benefit District (GBD). Under a program established by the Department of Public Works, GBDs permit residents and merchants "to improve the quality of the public realm" by extending capital improvements to open spaces and providing required maintenance.

Specific improvements are decided by locals, but benefits may include street trees and other landscaping, improved security services, new playground equipment and dog runs, as well as "coordination to leverage City department and community resources," according to DPW.

Tonight's discussion will be held at Park Smile Dentistry, located at 1244 9th Ave. between Lincoln and Irving, at 5:45 pm.
