Divisadero Streetscaping to begin in Spring 2009

A HUGE project is going to hit Divisadero Street next spring, with repaving happening from Castro to Sutter, and a large-scale redesign of sidewalks and medians from Waller to Geary.

The project will add width and trees to the medians, new streetlights, wider sidewalks, better bus stops, and corner 'bulbs' that will make for a more pedestrian-friendly experience in this now-hot neighborhood street that is full of great restaurants and shops.

See the Department of Public Works site for more details, or this Powerpoint presentation that has great mock-ups of the streetscape work to be done, and some examples of other streets that have had similar work done in recent years.
