A NEW PUBLIC SPACE AT THE CORNER OF 16TH AND HARRISON ST
Treat Plaza is located at the intersection of Treat Ave, 16th St and Harrison St. The Treat Plaza site originally grew out of the larger 22 Fillmore/16th Street Muni Forward and streetscape design project that provided an opportunity for the City to also meet ongoing requests for active and vibrant public spaces in the neighborhood.
Community engagement for design of the plaza was conducted in 2016 and 2017 and informed the final design that is in place today. Construction of the project finished in December 2021 and an official opening for the plaza is slated for February 2022 after sidewalk lighting has been installed.
Public Works, SF Planning, and SFMTA are the agency leads for the plaza and adjacent streetscape improvements.
Programming & Stewardship
To help the plaza become a vibrant community hub, SF Planning has engaged the nonprofit Livable City to provide maintenance and programming and to organize a community of stewards to oversee the site into the future. Programming at the plaza will begin in March 2022 and is being planned in collaboration with nearby residents, small businesses, nonprofits, and cultural institutions.
Livable City is currently conducting two surveys to help guide the programming and stewardship of Treat Plaza – please submit your feedback and share,
Para ayudar a que la plaza se convierta en un centro comunitario vibrante, SF Planning ha contratado a la organización nonprofit (sin fines de lucro) Livable City para brindar mantenimiento, programación y organizar una comunidad de administradores para supervisar el sitio en el futuro. La programación en la plaza comenzará en marzo del 2022 y se planificará en colaboración con los residentes cercanos, los negocios y empresas pequeños, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y las instituciones culturales.
Livable City está realizando dos encuestas para ayudar a guiar la programación y la administración de Treat Plaza. Envía tus comentarios y participa en las siguientes encuestas:
SUNDAY STREETS STARTS IN THE TENDERLOIN ON SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 2024
Celebrate the diversity of the Tenderloin with live music, free food, and fun for all ages
San Francisco, CA — The Sunday Streets Tenderloin block party will kick off San Francisco’s beloved community-powered open streets program on Sunday, June 23, 2024. In partnership with St. Anthony Foundation, the block party route will be on the Golden Gate Greenway, on Golden Gate Ave between Jones and Hyde St from 12 PM to 5 PM.
The mission of Sunday Streets is to create temporary open space and recreational opportunities in neighborhoods most lacking, encourage physical activity, foster community building, and inspire people to think about their streets as public spaces, which coincides with the vision of the Golden Gate Greenway initiative.
Led by St. Anthony’s and a coalition of partner organizations, the Golden Gate Greenway is a neighborhood initiative with the goal to create a permanent slow-street style closure on the 100 block of Golden Gate Avenue and transform it into a safe, open green space with events and activities for the Tenderloin community.
The Sunday Streets SF program is supported by City agencies, including the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). “Access to open space in urban environments increases physical activity and social connections, thereby improving health and wellness” said Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax. “SFDPH is proud to be a fiscal partner of the Sunday Streets program, bringing equitable health resources to our diverse communities.”
“The return of Sunday Streets is the perfect way to begin summer as blocks transform into community spaces,” said SFMTA Chief of Staff Viktoriya Wise. “We’re grateful to partner in this event series that lets our neighborhood streets shine with so much joy to be found in each one of them.”
Sunday Streets Tenderloin will bring together a diversity of neighbors to reclaim the streets in 2024. This year, we share the day with the Eid Al-Adha Mubarak Block Party that marks the first street closure in the city for a Muslim community event. Celebrate the Tenderloin with a host of activities:
Live stage performances sponsored by the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center’s 2024 United States of Asian America Festival (USAAF)
Golden Gate Greenway Pop-Up hosted by St. Anthony Foundation complete with a dunk tank and plant potting station, and senior laughing yoga by 826 Valencia.
Kids zone with the Book Wagon book giveaway, poetry box and reading by Faithful Fools, and CounterPulse drumming circle
Cultural eats with Himalayan Pizza & Momo and Mama G’s Street Dinners free food giveaway
The 2024 Sunday Streets season features four community block parties, two signature mile-plus routes, and the Fourth Annual Citywide Phoenix Day, including Tenderloin on June 23rd, Excelsior on July 21st, Bayview on August 4th, Mission on August 25th, Western Addition on September 22, SOMA on October 13, and the Phoenix Day Block Parties on October 20th.
Sunday Streets Tenderloin is made possible by the support of the following event sponsors: API Cultural Center and the United States of Asian America Festival (USAAF), St. Anthony Foundation, GLIDE Memorial Church, Tenderloin Community Benefit District, 826 Valencia, Tenderloin Museum, De Marillac Academy, and Dolby.
