CONSTRUCTION ADVISORY: Pedestrian access between McAllister St. and Golden Gate Ave. will be limited to residents-only now through the end of construction in late 2026.
Residents of Fredrick Douglas Haynes Gardens can access the northern gate off Buchanan Street Mall from Golden Gate Avenue, and all other gates off Buchanan Street Mall are accessible from McAllister St.
All other pedestrians will be detoured to Webster St. or Laguna St. to travel between McAllister St. and Golden Gate Ave.
Other construction updates:
Construction is humming along! The new performance stage between Fulton St. and McAllister St. is taking shape with the stage canopy and concrete work now complete. Framing for the stage wooden decking will begin in May.
The columns for the Memory Walk are starting to be raised, and the pervious paving and decorative paving on the southern block is complete. Site wall framing is in process on the northern block, and grading and paving work is progressing on the middle blocks.
Memory Walk updates:
The Foundational Phase 1 artwork for the Memory Walk was approved by the San Francisco Arts Commission Visual Arts Committee on April 15! This artwork was created by nine artists with strong connections to the Fillmore.
