Better Streets Plan
The Better Streets Plan is a collaborative, multi-agency effort by the City and County of San Francisco to create a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines for the design of the pedestrian environment in San Francisco. The pedestrian environment is defined as "areas of the street where people walk, shop, sit, play or interact - outside of moving vehicles." [1]
The Plan describes a set of policies for the City and County of San Francisco to follow to achieve a more livable streetscape environment. It creates a street typology system for making streetscape improvements, and describes appropriate standard and optional elements for each street type. For each element, there is a set of guidelines for appropriate location and design. Finally, the Plan will describe ways that the City can fund, maintain and enforce Better Streets improvements.
The Better Streets Plan is currently in draft form, and is expected to be completed in 2009. More information is available on the project website: www.sfbetterstreets.org.
