This is the park that will go between this and 200 Main Street (Transbay Block 4). Always good to see more public open space added.

Public Meeting Soon For Transbay Block 3 Park In SoMa, San Francisco

The San Francisco Civic Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans for the Transbay Block 3 park during a public meeting next Monday. The plan will create a new one-acre landscaped destination between two dense housing plans on the former temporary Transbay Bus Terminal in SoMa. The San Francisco Public Works department is the landscape architect.

The public park will be positioned between Main and Beale Street, as well as the Clementina and Tehama alleyways that will be built with the park. The affordable housing block on Block 2 will be across Clementina, and the mixed-income tower on Block 4 will be across Tehama. In order to increase public interaction with the park, both blocks will feature townhome units with entrances leading directly to the open space.

The new park will include two portions divided by the main arterial paths. Facing Beale Street will be the grove, Stewardship building, and children’s playground. The stewardship building will be a central facility for department storage, community storage, and a public restroom.

The middle of the park will feature a plaza and deck connected by the habitat meadow and exploration area. A dog relief area is included along Main Street. The alleyways will be open to vehicular traffic in the current plans, though illustrations indicate it will be designed to keep cars moving slow.
