Breed Introduces Legislation to Make SF Parklets Permanent
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced proposed legislation Friday that will extend indefinitely the popular Shared Spaces program, allowing bars and restaurants across the city the keep the outdoor parklet spaces they ve built and for new ones to be permitted as well. They add a phenomenal vibrancy to our commercial corridors,” said Supervisor Ahsha Safaí, speaking to the Chronicle about the parklets and patios. It’s something that’s very San Franciscan. I think this is going to be one of the more positive unintended consequences of the pandemic.
The current Shared Spaces program had already been extended once, but was set to expire in June. With the new legislation, Breed and co-sponsors Safai and Supervisor Rafael Mandelman hope to bring a bit more order (and bureaucracy) to the chaos, while enabling businesses to hold on to the outdoor seating they ve spent money and effort to construct.
