Advocacy Update

January 2022

State of Emergency in Tenderloin Area

The State of Emergency declared in December has brought additional streetscape safety and social service resources to our area. All three neighboring CBDs | Civic Center + Mid Market + Tenderloin | are working in tandem with the Department of Emergency Services to manage the effort.

Linkage Center

A key component of the area's Emergency Declaration is a one-stop-shop for social services. When fully staffed the Linkage Center will be open 24/7 with interior and exterior public safety staff supporting Center visitors and service providers.

Better Market Street Construction 5th to 8th

Phase I work on Market Street from 5th and 8th will commence soon. Adjacent stakeholders with questions or concerns can contact CCCBD or the Project Manager.

BART Construction 8th and Market

A second street-level staging area for BART's traction power upgrade at Civic Center Station will be activated in front of Hotel Whitcomb. Impacted stakeholders with questions or concerns can contact CCCBD or BART.

New Street Vending Legislation

Look for new street vending legislation this year aimed at ensuring vendors are not selling stolen merchandise, or food and beverage without proper health and safety permits. To learn more contact CCCBD.
