Yerba Buena Street Life Plan
Recently in San Francisco, the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District and CMG Landscape Architecture unveiled the Yerba Buena Street Life Plan. The plan is meant to serve as a master plan for the mixed-use neighborhood known as Yerba Buena that is located south of Market Street and includes prominent public buildings and spaces such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Yerba Buena Gardens, and the Moscone Center. The goal of the plan, meant to be implemented over the next ten years, is to create an identity for the neighborhood and foster a sense of community where residents and passers-through can stop and enjoy the area and engage with its outdoor spaces.

The Parkmobiles are a great idea. I love the integrated seating. The possibility of having exotic plants which could be taken indoors in the winter should be a real crowd pleaser. But...please not the bright red paint. The boxes should not be the most conspicuous things in the neighborhood.
I initially liked the 'funkiness' of the red until reading the above comment. Yes, my eyes are drawn to the boxes rather than the beauty of the plants! Maybe if they were in a bright green (think more chartreuse than fluorescent...) then they'd still be a statement and be modern but the plants would compliment rather than fading into the background.... ? I love the idea! Very clever.
