Hoodline reports that this new “Shared Space” began last weekend and will continue on Sundays from 2-7pm. The permit is currently approved to run through December 27th. Currently the permit is only for Sundays, but Fridays and Saturdays may be coming soon.
18th Street is shut down in two separate sections – one block east of Castro and one block west of Castro (vehicle traffic is still allowed on Castro street).
When is 18th Street open for outdoor dining?
Every Sunday, but the time is unclear. Hoodline reports it’s 2-7pm, the Shared Spaces website says 2 pm – 9 pm [closure 1pm-10pm] and Shared Spaces Twitter says 1pm
The affected streets are 18th from Hartford to Castro, and on 18th from Collingwood to Castro
