A proposed revamp of Powell Street features an outdoor chandelier that changes colors, hanging lamps and wide sidewalks for outdoor eating
In an effort to draw more people to a desolate stretch of the street, designers sponsored by The City have proposed adding a giant “starburst” chandelier that can change colors, decorative hanging lamps and widened sidewalks for outdoor eating, according to conceptual plans unveiled Monday.
The grander plan calls for the parklets to be removed entirely and sidewalks to be widened to the edges of the cable-car zone, which would create more space for pedestrians and outdoor food-and-beverage service. To pay for the larger vision, Rodriguez wants to get a portion of the $390 million bond measure that Mayor London Breed has proposed for the November ballot.
“Powell is among San Francisco’s most iconic streets and serves as an anchor to the rest of the City for nearly half of all visitors who come here,” Breed said in a press release. “That’s why I have dedicated funding and proposed the November bond measure to support this important effort to reimagine Powell as a premier destination for locals and visitors, and proposed new funding in my budget to bring more events, businesses, and security to enhance this beautiful area.
Kennedy said the notion for a starburst chandelier — a loose sphere of bulbs that would hover over the cable car turnaround — harkens to singer Tony Bennet’s classic song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” with its line about the city “where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
