SOMA Under Freeway Park Concept Study

Submitted by julian on

With the support of Supervisor Matt Dorsey, the Bureau of Landscape Architecture is leading a grant-funded planning effort to create a new park space in the South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood. The study will examine the potential of the underutilized right-of-way between 4th and 6th streets and Harrison and Bryant streets to address several long-standing challenges in SoMa, including flooding, unsafe pedestrian and bicycle routes, and the disproportionate impacts of the urban heat island effect and air pollution on community health.

Reason(s) for Tree Removal: Removal of one (1) street tree with replacement by Public Works. The subject tree is a Cordyline australis (Dracena Palm) and it is located in the sidewalk at the curb. Urban Forestry staff are recommending removal due to the growth of the trunk into path of travel for pedestians as well as over and into the roadway. This location is replantable.
