The Geary Boulevard Improvement Project will include a community enhancement element to beautify the corridor. In April 2024, Richmond District residents and businesses were asked to share their thoughts about potential enhancements along Geary Boulevard between Stanyan Street and 34th Avenue.

Over 1,800 responses were submitted via online survey and at our Open House event!
Based on the results of the survey, the project’s community enhancement element will include:
- About 50 new street trees; and
- Decorative concrete with glass aggregate sidewalk designs at some Rapid bus stops, with designs featuring the nature of the Richmond District.
Now we want your feedback on the design details. Let us know which tree species and sidewalk designs you prefer by taking our survey, open now through September 2024. There are two ways to participate:
Decorative Sidewalk Options
Potential nature themes for the bus stop sidewalk designs:
- Native flora and fauna
- Sand dunes and ocean waves
- Golden Gate Park and greenery
- Fog with Golden Gate Bridge
- Lands End and Seal Rock
This image shows options (in blue) for where sidewalk treatments could go.
New Street Tree Options
These potential tree species were selected for their suitability to thrive in an urban environment.
Top row (for median planting): Coast Live Oak, Canary Island Pine, and Monterey Cypress.
Bottom row (for sidewalk planting): Hollyleaf Cherry, California Buckeye, California Bay Laurel, and Primrose.
These selected enhancements will be constructed along with other transit and safety improvements in two to three years, following SFPUC’s underground utility work.
