For all new requests and for information about the Color Curb program, please call 311. If calling from outside the 415 area code, please call (415) 701-2311. The 311 Call Center can take applications over the phone.

Merchants

If you are a merchant applying for a color curb zone near your business, please call 311 and they will take your application over the phone. You may also print and submit an application (pdf).

Once you complete and return the form with your non-refundable application processing fee—see Fee Schedule (pdf)—on fee-required zones we will process and review your request. If your request is a yellow, white, green or blue zone and is recommended for installation, a public hearing will be scheduled to consider the matter. Upon approval and payment of any applicable installation fees, the zone will be installed as soon as scheduling permits. The agenda for upcoming color curb public hearings are available for viewing on this website. Since the application processing fees are non-refundable, you may wish to carefully consider the requirements for fee-required zones prior to submission of your application.

Please do not send paint/installation fees prior to receipt of an invoice or combine processing and paint/installation fees. Please send only the processing fee with your application.
