Mercado Plaza | Mission Community Market

Mercado Plaza

San Francisco Public Spaces have come to life with the surge of street food, markets and community events. The Mission District does not have a central plaza to support these activities. We believe it should.

Here’s just one way to imagine Bartlett Street as a safe, fun public place! Included here: permanent market stalls, walkable safe, plaza paving, pedestrian lighting and greening.

This is our chance to make Bartlett Street a public space that serves the community. We can re-imagine this block of Bartlett Street as a safe, beautiful community plaza for murals, small businesses and family nutrition programs, while still serving the function of a street.

Below are some images of how streets and public space can improve a neighborhood and what kind of designs we could potentially use to improve Bartlett Street and 22nd.

As we unite behind a vision for Bartlett Street, the City will listen. We can bring funding to this block and make Bartlett better. Tell us what you want to see. Tell us what your ideal neighborhood space would look like.
