SPUR Walking Tour: SF Great Streets demonstration projects
"Tour the newest great public spaces in San Francisco, created as part of the City's Pavement to Parks Initiative. Planning Department staff will guide you through the process of how these new, instant trial "parks" came to be, as well as their future. Sites on the tour will include Castro Commons, a trial plaza at 17th Street and Castro, Guerrero Park, a community space at the intersection of San Jose and Guerrero Avenues, and Showplace Triangle, a new plaza at 8th & 16th Streets."
