$8.1-M grant to transform SF’s Buchanan Street Mall into vibrant community space

An $8.1 million federal grant will add lighting, landscaping and information kiosks to the Buchanan Street Mall pedestrian walkway, San Francisco Mayor London Breed said last week.

Renovation of the Western Addition park will also add a performance stage, seating areas, a picnic and barbecue area and multiple playgrounds, according to a press release from the mayor’s office on Friday.
