In 2003, San Francisco Beautiful recognized the 16th Street BART Plaza with a Beautification Award. BART, with various funding sources, worked extensively with the community and merchants to transform a dirty, vandalized station area into a colorful plaza in the Mission District.
For more than 40 years, San Francisco Beautiful has been honoring San Franciscans who make special contributions to the unique character and beauty of our City with the Annual Beautification Awards.
