Neighbors Renovating the Rockridge & Temescal Gateway
Thank you for your interest in Scenic Streets. Founded just last year, we are an all-volunteer group of Oakland residents committed to making the streets we all share more enjoyable and safer. We conduct landscaping projects large and small along busy streets that could use some greenery - and encourage others to do the same.
Our first project has been renovating Claremont Avenue near Highway 24. This high visibility gateway to our community has been neglected for decades - frequently covered with litter and weeds. We thought our beautiful neighborhood deserved a better first impression. And many of our neighbors agreed.
To date, we've fully renovated two neglected highway ramps. And this spring we will plant 20 flowering sidewalk trees. But the final phase of our project will be the most challenging yet.
Dark. Dingy. Dangerous.
The Highway Underpass Area is Next!

Scenic Streets is sponsored by the Rockridge Community Planning Council (RCPC). And although we partner with the City of Oakland and Cal-Trans to create lasting improvements that meet their standards, government funding is scarce so we must raise our own funds. Please support the neighbors improving your neighborhood!
We also hope to inspire others to improve additional public lands in other communities. So we recently added new content to this site that provided valuable advice and resources for those considering a similar project.
Your ideas are welcome. Volunteers are always needed. And most importantly, your financial contributions are vital to making this effort a continuing success. Thank you for your support!
