 66th Avenue Gateway
A Measure DD Project
Project Description

new sculpture park at 66th Avenue serves as a major gateway to the
waterfront and provides a visible connection between neighborhoods
and the waterfront. A linear arrangement of trees along the street
frontage reinforces the gateway connection and vertical markers further
delineate the site. The Bay Trail passes through the park, which
incorporates art and native plantings as key features.
