Another step in the long hike toward a completely upgraded Dolores. (Wherein the 20th and Church overlook becomes all fancy instead of all janky.) Dolores Park Works highlights some changes:

  • The North Restroom is now closer to the playground.
  • The steps to down to the abandoned 19th Street J Church stop are  now persevered.
  • The South Restroom will not have a living roof.
  • The 18th Street entrance to the maintenance yard is now closer to Church Street to preserve the flow of the 18th Street lawn.

Have a look:

    So they are turning hipster beach into a dog park eh? Let’s see how that blows over

    Every time I look at that guy on the left side of the picture I think he’s shooting pepper spray at somebody just outside the frame.

    I can’t wait until they pave over this hipster trap and throw up some lofts.

    It took me waaaay too long to figure out that you meant “preserved.” Time for more coffee.

      They are probably harder to sleep on with less surface area to tag.

        Yup. Those benches are designed to stop people sleeping on them. Don’t want to make any yuppies uncomfortable.

      Prediction: people start sitting on the ground in front of the benches, leaning onto the bench itself.

      Fuckin’ architects, making pseudo-modernist bullshit that’s more concerned with appearance than use.

    To play devil’s advocate, maybe backless benches are a good way to try to make sure that people can sit while watching both sides. Eyes on both sides means more eyes on the park and less worry about what might happen when you have your back turned…which means less fear/violence, people feel safe-they start spending time outside. Maybe it could be good.
