San Francisco turns former downtown bus terminal into temporary open space

A part of downtown San Francisco has been temporarily transformed into a new community space, hosting things like food trucks and a beer garden, city officials said.

The 3.5-acre space, called The Crossing at East Cut, is located at the former site of the Temporary Transbay Terminal near Howard and Main streets, and will also host soccer events, outdoor movies, a children’s play area, a marketplace, and fitness space.
