The Minna–Natoma Streetscape Project continues to move forward, with several important milestones completed as the project prepares for its next major phase.

The construction team has successfully completed sewer improvement work along Natoma Street, marking a significant achievement for the project. In addition, all project redesigns have been completed and approved, and the artwork planned for the streetscape has also received final approval.

Project Update (August 2026)

This project is almost complete. Only some minor punch list work remains. 
 

Project Description
The Market and Octavia Living Alleys project aims to create a public realm that strengthens the community, creates a sense of identity and makes a more useful, safe and attractive neighborhood.

Water Storage and Distribution Project

A renewed Market Street will anchor multiple downtown neighborhoods and link public open spaces. It will also connect the city’s Civic Center with cultural, social, convention, tourism, and retail destinations, as well as the Salesforce Transit Center, the regional transit hub. The vision is to make Market Street a place where people will want to stop and spend time, meet friends, people-watch while sitting in a café, or just stroll and take in the urban scene.

Project Update: June 2019
Crews continue sidewalk work along the southside of Brannan Street between 8th Street and 9th Street. The sidewalk work at this location will be completed soon. 
 

The contractor also continues street base replacement work on Brannan Street. This phase of work requires the contractor saw-cut portions of the roadway, remove the broken concrete base, and pour back fresh concrete. Replacing the damaged street base now will help prolong the life of the new asphalt once the street is repaved. 
 

The Transbay Transit Center Streetscape Project, Phase 1, will bring much needed pedestrian improvements near the area of First and Mission streets. The project will add a mid-block pedestrian crosswalk signal and bulb-outs at the Shaw Alley and Mission Street intersection. This project also will widen the sidewalk along the north side of Mission Street between Fremont Street and First Street as well as First Street between Mission and Minna streets.
 

These improvements will help accommodate the additional foot traffic in the area that could be expected upon completion of the Transbay Transit Center. The Transbay Transit Center, which is currently under construction, will replace the former Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco with a modern transit hub.
 

Highlights of the Transbay Transit Hub include:

• Regional transportation hub containing more than one million square feet
• Serving 11 transportation systems
• Featuring City Park, a 5.4-acre rooftop public park. The 1,400-foot-long elevated linear park will include a variety of activities and amenities, including an open-air amphitheater, gardens, trails, open grass areas, children's play space, as well as a restaurant and cafe
• Featuring the Grand Hall, a ground-level floor with an open air main entrance off Mission Street between Salesforce Tower and Fremont Street known as Mission Square, which will include an information center, ticket kiosks, automated ticketing and the main escalators
• Featuring a dramatic Light Column, which will allow natural daylight into the Transit Center
• Incorporating the groundbreaking geometrical pattern of Dr. Roger Penrose, the eminent British mathematical physicist, in the undulating metal facade
• Including sustainable design features, which will allow the facility to achieve LEED Gold certification
• Pedestrian bridges that connect the Transit Center’s rooftop park to surrounding development
• Supporting significant public artworks throughout the facility
• Providing unique retail shopping and dining experiences
