Better Market Street

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.
