Caltrans, in partnership with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency through a Clean California local grant, has transformed Yerba Buena Garden/Moscone Transit Center to become the gateway to downtown San Francisco into a colorful vision through landscaping and artwork (murals).
This renovation will visually welcome convention attendees, commuters, tourists, residents and neighboring communities with beautiful drought-resistant plants and flowers as the visitors stroll through the Yerba Buena Gardens/Moscone Transit Center.
Two local artists were chosen as the muralists: Dee Jae Pa’ Este and Caltrans Bay Area’s very own Graphic Designer Ismael Vera Cruz.
This project’s funding also allows the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District’s Clean Team to double its cleaning and power-washing efforts to keep the sidewalks around the venues clean.
This partnership is a win-win for everyone who visits the city of San Francisco’s convention district.
