TELEGRAPHBERKELEY

Telegraph Berkeley is a community of 10,000 on the edge of the UC Berkeley campus. We are merchants, street vendors, residents, students, visitors, walkers, bicyclists, and drivers. We are people who sleep, eat, talk, pray, read and make music... What does the TBID do? We fund art installations on Telegraph Avenue including murals, sculptures, and our iconic peace symbol bike racks. We organize and fund events such as the Berkeley World Music Festival, Grateful Day, and Blues on the Avenue. We advocate for protected bicycle tracks, and with the ASUC, for more student housing on the Southside. Our ambassadors clean the streets seven days a week, picking up litter and removing graffiti. We work closely with City and UC social workers to get folks housed. We work to create community.
