These DRAFT Concepts were developed in Summer 2007 -- they have since been refined into the Better Streets Plan Draft for Public Review, shown above. The DRAFT Concepts shown in the links below present initial proposals for how to improve San Francisco’s pedestrian environment.

Because different streets play different roles—and should therefore be designed differently—the DRAFT Concepts are divided by street type. For each street type, the illustrations show a typical existing condition, a set of standard improvements (such as street trees, curb ramps, and pedestrian lighting), and a set of additional options that could be applied given the circumstances of a particular street.
