The Golden Gate Greenway, located on Golden Gate Avenue in the Tenderloin of San Francisco, was designed to be a vibrant community area. The Greenway would be car-free for most of the day, providing a space for residents and visitors to enjoy. Despite funding and planning, it remains underdeveloped, mostly functioning as a loading zone with minimal amenities. Project leaders now focus on temporary street activations while grappling with bureaucratic challenges such as slow permits and funding. The difficulties faced are compounded by the neighborhood's unique environment, leading to setbacks and delays in realizing the vision for the Greenway.
"People haven't paid attention to the neighborhood ... You need to be here and try, and see what works."
"death by a thousand cuts" - permits and city funds are slow to come, community meetings take time, and the Tenderloin's built environment offers some particular challenges.
