Jones Street
In May 2020, Mayor Breed released the Tenderloin Neighborhood Safety Assessment and Plan for COVID-19 -- a report of the current conditions in the Tenderloin and a block-by-block plan for addressing those challenges.
As a part of this work, SFMTA’s Tenderloin COVID-19 Emergency Streets program will be adding temporary walking space to Jones Street between O’Farrell Street to Golden Gate Avenue - allowing people to practice physical distancing for essential travel and services. This requires converting one car travel lane and parking lane to a pedestrian walking space. These changes are expected to happen in late July 2020.
Small Business Resources
Merchants and small businesses throughout the 6th Street area have access to a variety of resources offered by the City and County of San Francisco.
- Information on Small Business Loans and Grants
- Moving your business outside
- How to safely get back to business in the “new normal”
More information about these and opportunities such as deferring business taxes and licensing fees, accessing free COVID-19 testing for essential employees and resources for self-employed individuals can be found at oewd.org/covid19
The 6th Street project team continues to be available throughout this time. For project-related questions, please contact Shayda.Haghgoo@sfmta.com.
