Divisadero Corridor

This committee will work with neighborhood residents, business owners and nearby neighborhood associations to create a master plan for the Divisadero Corridor. The goal is to develop a more vibrant community along Divisadero, while preserving the many unique characteristics of the neighborhood. We will actively work with existing local businesses and seek to attract new small businesses to the neighborhood. We will address specific issues that frequently arise along Divisadero, including chain stores, liquor licenses and prolonged commercial vacancies.

In early 2006, Divisadero corridor residents and merchants participated in planning meetings to strategize about how to improve the commercial area of Divisadero Street from Haight to Geary Streets. We've been busy!

Join the Department of Public Works (DPW), Municipal Transit Authority (MTA) and the Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development for an update.

MTA has completed a traffic and transit study for Diviadero Street from Haight to Geary Street, as well as Scott and Broderick Streets. At this meeting, DPW and MTA will present their findings, and a block-by-block proposal for greening, streetscaping, and potential traffice and transit changes. You'll also receive a brief update on business attraction, safety, and cleanliness activities for Divisadero Street.

This is your opportunity to view proposed changes and improvements for Divisadero Street and give your feedback to the City.

Batteries Plus Hearing

Batteries Plus hearing at Planning Commission
Thursday, November 1, 2007, hearings start at 1:30 p.m. (final time TBD)
City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place

Batteries Plus, a formula retail chain with over 300 stores has proposed to set up shop at 1100 Oak Street (aka 401 Divisadero), and the City's initial recommendation is to approve this project. However, local residents are concerned that a formula retail store is not compatible with the neighborhood. If you cannot make it to the hearing, but wish to make a statement in opposition, sign a petition at one of the local businesses on Divisadero (Cafe Abir has one on their bulletin board), or sign the online petition.
