The Newcomb Model Block Project is an innovative synthesis of community stewardship, agency collaboration, public realm enhancement, and environmental benefit in one of San Francisco's most environmentally challenged neighborhoods.
The new features from the project provide a repeating series of green areas integrally connected to the overall streetscape design. Significant areas for stormwater management, permeable surfaces, and a robust canopy of street trees along both block frontages were also added. The main goals of the project were greening the area, a waste water solution, traffic calming, and community improvement and ongoing care through community stewardship.
