Excelsior & Outer Mission Streetscape Design Guidelines

The goal of the EOM Streetscape Design Guidelines is to create a unified vision for near and long-term streetscape improvements on Mission Street. Examples of streetscape design concepts may include pedestrian and transit-bulb-outs, greening, lighting, streetscape furnishings, and community identity elements.

The EOM Streetscape Design Guidelines will also work as a resource for the community to use when promoting the community vision and goals that were developed through the Excelsior & Outer Mission Neighborhood Strategy­.

Agencies involved include San Francisco Planning, San Francisco Public Works, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), and the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD).

Components

The EOM Streetscape Design Guidelines will define street typologies and a palette of materials, which will serve as a tool for the City and the community to implement ongoing and future streetscape projects.

Street Typologies – Four specific types of intersections along the Mission corridor will be identified.  Each will receive a proposed treatment suggesting the selection and layout of street furniture, sidewalk pavers, plantings, and seating elements.

Palette of Materials – A selection of styles, materials, and colors for furnishing, greening, lighting, and community identity elements will be established to encourage the development of a unified Mission Street corridor.
