Cesar Chavez Street is an important arterial in the Mission District that provides direct access to the Mission District from Highway 101. It has traditionally served as a speedway for cars and trucks zooming to and from the freeway ramps. The Cesar Chavez Streetscape Improvement Project transformed Cesar Chavez into a street that can safely serve all users, as well as a sustainable “green street” by increasing the number of street trees, implementing Low Impact Development & Design practices, and installing stormwater planters. The project was a joint effort between Public Works, City Planning, SFMTA, and the SFPUC, engaged in a two-year community planning effort. The project was exceptional in creating an urban livable street that the public has embraced. Construction was completed in January 2014.
