Meet the Neighbors: Community Building Night | 16th St. BART Plaza

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Meet The Neighbors is an initiative between the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Andrea Baker Consulting (ABC) with the intention of initiating a conversation about the 16th Street BART plazas and the people (our neighbors) who use and traverse the plaza.

Often times, we use a place and yet we do not experience it …we don’t stop long enough to see what or whom surrounds us. We forget that we are part of a larger community and we overlook the people we pass by.

Meet the Neighbors creates podcasts of people’s stories so that we create an open and inclusive forum for community to get to know their neighbors — from the man who preaches about religion in the morning; to the mom who traverses the plaza as she runs errands with her children; or perhaps the store clerk who has been working for 15 years at the adjacent Walgreen… Do we know our neighbors …their stories?
