Join us this weekend at Potrero Yard to learn how we’re reimagining the site.
You might have heard that we are rebuilding Potrero Yard. Join us for a self-guided tour to learn about the last hundred years of this bus yard and what’s in store next.
On Saturday, Sept. 14, come experience a community walking tour of the Potrero Yard Modernization Project site. This self-guided tour starts at Franklin Square and goes along 17th and Bryant streets.
- Date: Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024
- Time: 1-3 p.m.
- Where: Franklin Square, 2500 17th Street, San Francisco
- (Enter at the corner of 17th and Bryant streets)
- How: RSVP at the Eventbrite link
The Potrero Yard Project is a unique joint development opportunity. This will be the first bus maintenance facility with integrated housing and retail in the United States. At the event, we will share updates on the bus yard development, affordable housing, public art and surrounding transit and safety features.
Light refreshments will be provided to give you energy for all the walking!
You can also sign up for a bus yard tour led by SFMTA staff. Note: space is limited.
Bus Yard tours offered
In addition to the community walking tour, we’re also offering two behind-the-scenes tours of our trolley bus yard.
SFMTA staff will lead two tours, one at 1:15 p.m. and one at 2:15 p.m. These tours are popular, and capacity is limited. To accommodate the anticipated demand, we will offer spots for bus yard tours at the event only (there is no pre-registration for the bus yard tours).
Also, site-visit waivers will be required for bus yard tours. We will have these at the event. Please note that minors (under age 18) must have parental or guardian permission to attend a bus yard tour.
