Mission Streetscape Plan  

On August 12th we held our 4th Workshop at the Women's Building!

It was an exciting evening and the community's feedback was very useful and creative. Review below our proposals and do send us your additional comments and feedback by email: ilaria.salvadori@sfgov.org

Thank you for participating!

Overview

The Mission Streetscape Plan is a community-based planning process to identify improvements to streets, sidewalks and public spaces in the city’s Mission District. The boundaries of the study area are roughly Division Street on the north, US-101 on the east, Precita Avenue, Mission Street and San Jose Avenue on the south, and Dolores Street on the west.


Purpose

The goal of the Mission Streetscape Plan is to re-imagine Mission District streets as vital public spaces that serve the needs and priorities of the community. The outcome will be a system of neighborhood streets with safe and green sidewalks; well-marked crosswalks; widened sidewalks at corners; creative parking arrangements; bike paths and routes; close integration of transit; and roadways that accommodate automobile traffic but encourage appropriate speeds.

The Mission Streetscape Plan designs will improve pedestrian safety and comfort, increase the amount of usable public space in the neighborhood, and support environmentally-sustainable stormwater management.

Highlights of the plan include:

  • A new flexible parking strategy for gathering and outdoor seating uses;

  • New gateway plazas and a temporary plaza
    (included in the new Pavement to Parks program priority list);

  • Traffic calming ideas for residential streets;

  • Greening of mixed-use streets in the Northeast side of the District;

  • A re-envisioning of residential throughways;

  • An alley network strategy for small residential streets;

  • Design review for improvements of existing public spaces.


2009 Highlights

The Mission Streetscape Plan held three successful community workshops between March 2008 and March 2009. These workshops guided the development of a draft plan and preliminary concept designs for prioritized areas in the district. Upcoming milestones include the following:

  • Workshop 4: August 12, 2009 – Presentation of draft plan; review of specific concept designs for focus areas.

  • Workshop 5: Fall/Winter 2009 – Open House with final plan presentation

  • CEQA Analysis: Starts Fall 2009

Once approved, the plan will set out a roadmap for getting the planned improvements built over time.
