New Open Houses: Weigh in on Designs for a Better Folsom and Howard Street

Howard at 7th Street.

We’re holding two open house meetings this week to show potential designs for a better Folsom and Howard streets in the South of Market area.

SoMa deserves livable streets. With our Folsom-Howard Streetscape Project, we aim to make these SoMa streets safer and more pleasant to walk, bike, shop and live on, and we need your help to make it happen.

This winter, at public open houses and online, more than 500 people told the SFMTA what their priorities were for improving Folsom and Howard streets. Community members gave us feedback on different elements of street design and what they thought made streets great.

This week, we’ll show proposed designs that were developed a result of that feedback at two open house events on Thursday, April 27 and Saturday, April 29. These open houses will give you an opportunity to look at four potential designs and provide more input that will help us refine plans for a better, safer Folsom and Howard.

We’re hosting two similar open houses to help ensure people with a variety of schedules can come, but both events will feature the same materials, information and opportunity to provide feedback.
