New look for BART at 16th and Mission
From SFGate,
BART officials unveiled a colorful and more spacious plaza outside the 16th Street Mission station Friday.The $4.2 million project replaced tall, wrought-iron barriers with lower fencing. Also new to the station’s northeast plaza are two palm trees, granite paving, brighter lighting, benches and towering artwork atop the elevator access. The artwork includes a stained-glass tower that lights from the inside at night.
“The plaza renovation showcases what can happen when neighborhood and government agencies work toward a common goal,” said BART Director Tom Radulovich, who represents the area.
