Mission Streetscape Plan  

The Planning Department has received a grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development to create a comprehensive plan for street design in the Mission District. A related process has begun to develop a detailed design for Cesar Chavez Street

Together, these efforts will re-imagine Mission District streets as vital public spaces that meet the needs and priorities of the community.

About the Project

Top

The Mission Streetscape Plan will develop a comprehensive strategy for streets in the Mission District, based on community needs and priorities. The outcome will be designs for a system of neighborhood streets stressing

  • gracious, accessible, safe sidewalks;
  • well-marked crosswalks with shorter crossing distances;
  • close and friendly integration of transit;
  • bicycle connectivity and amenities;
  • increased usable public space;
  • closely planted street trees and pedestrian-scaled lighting;
  • accommodation of automobile traffic at appropriate speeds.

The boundaries of the study area for the Mission Streetscape Plan are roughly Division Street on the north, US-101 on the east, Cesar Chavez Street, Mission Street and San Jose Avenue on the south, and Dolores Street on the west.
