Introduction
The Buchanan Mall runs between Grove and Eddy Streets and consists of five blocks of green space, three playgrounds, a basketball court, and pedestrian paths. Through the Buchanan Mall Bulb-outs project, the San Francisco Public Works will enhance safety and connectivity for people walking to the mall and surrounding neighborhood by implementing improvements recommended in the Western Addition Community Based Transportation Plan. Improvements include sidewalk widening, new bulb-outs with ADA curb ramps, and utility and drainage relocation at the intersections of Buchanan Street and Golden Gate Avenue and Buchanan Street and Turk Street. This project will better connect the community to recreational spaces in the Western Addition neighborhood.
