About the Castro Street Project
The project focuses on the busiest part of Castro Street, the two blocks between Market and 19th Streets, which is also a major transit hub for the Castro muni metro subway station, the F-Line historic streetcar turnaround, in addition to a number of transit lines.
As part of the project, the City will look at widening sidewalks, improving intersection safety, adding street trees, landscaping, lighting, and other streetscape amenities. Funding for the planning and construction of this project will be allocated from the 2011 Road Repaving and Streets Safety Bond.
The second and final workshop will take place in February 2013, and the conceptual design is scheduled to be completed in April.
