"A series of posters with space for write-in comments ask participants to weigh in on a smorgasbord of design ideas, from painted crosswalks, to brightly colored folding chairs, to food carts to 'smart poles' - WiFi connected streetlights with built-in security cameras."
"Documentation from the redesign's early community engagement workshops, posted to BART's website, offers hints as to what a physical re-engineering of the plazas might look."
A significant redesign of the 16th St. BART plazas is in progress for the first time in over 20 years. Preliminary renderings will be shared with the public in April, followed by community feedback sessions. The project aims to enhance the plazas, which have faced social issues since their opening in 1973. Current efforts include increased policing and outreach initiatives. Community engagement workshops have suggested various design ideas, including colorful furniture and smart technology, emphasizing the need for maintenance in these heavily used public spaces.
