You might have this week in Haight revolutionize the great new idea for a different kind of Haight-one heard the largely closed to private vehicles.
Created by the Haight resident superior Reed Martin, Revolutionize Haight aims to blow the doors of the existing plans to improve Haight corridor (ie stalled Reich public plan currently) Haight and offer check a bottom-up, based on alternative you top the area of the street.
The most controversial, considering the road for most private vehicles close, but with a net profit of parking space is by creating a vertical parking on all side streets within a block from Haight. Three designated Stanyan Muni stops, Belvedere and Masonic buses will continue to operate, and the loading and unloading areas and designated bus lanes could be used for commercial vehicles during certain periods.
Commitment, Martin argues, is better outdoors space for pedestrians and transit corridor more organic sound, better neighbors used. Finally, he said, the market for F-train could also divided on Van Ness, Haight Street ran all the way to Golden Gate Park.
Martin has already proposed the rounds on Reddit and Next Door, which caused some controversy. So we sat down with him to learn more about the making of Haight and revolutionize steps to make your vision real.
You can Martin, San Francisco Transit Riders board member, remember for his career last year as a candidate for mayor. Although it does not expect to win, he said that he was interested in learning about the inside of the city administration to understand its "stagnation."
"It's been a fun ride," he said.
Martin, who grew up in Paris, is an artist and designer, but have no technical background in urban design. Has a degree from the MIT Media Lab, which, he says, the intersection of technology, "to make a real life better" Arts and Humanities, with technical solutions, he said.
The idea that is Haight-specific revolutionize that convert Haight in a pedestrian corridor that focuses on people, human interaction, and the peculiarities of Haight-native is actually derived from the experience of Martin in Paris, as both a child and a few years ago, when I lived there in the summer.
"I'm really surprised," there, he said. "There was a growing movement of people who wanted more space street people."
The city began closing are actually roads that were built along the Seine. These spaces have been "doing a canvas for people what they wanted to be there," Martin said.
"The coolest part of the road [Haight] is the stuff that is going on," says Martin. But all the neighbors who spoke about the project systematically avoid down Haight foot, choice, parallel adjacent hallways because the sidewalks too confusing and hard to navigate.
Martin asserts that Haight is now more oriented vehicles pedestrians. "This is not a good thing," he said. "You want to be a hotel room. San Francisco is so focused on the community, but there is so little space in the community."
to create The pulse Revolutionize Haight was born is currently stalled in the public domain map Haight Ashbury, Martin said. He said he was involved in this project at an early stage, and had high hopes for him, but "eventually lost everything he had for him," including what the people have asked for the first time.
Part of it was invested due to the different members of the community, he said, and part was because the change through the various city departments, which were each forced against the other. "I think you are stuck in this process," he said, and finally focused on small details: whether sidewalks should be six feet or eight feet wide, for example.
Despite all that, Martin said, "People are really incompatible far from each other. I'm looking for something that people can rally behind. It felt like the last chance, not been able, and accurate details, but the street was a kind of canvas for people ... has always been a road that people's ".
His goal with Revolutionize Haight said the process is away from the city to support bureaucracy "out of the way", and let it grow organically, based on the needs of the community.
"Our chance in this city is so ridiculously large," he said. "The coolest part is ... that everyone has an opinion. I like that."
Martin said the next goal is the number of people involved, neighbors, residents, entrepreneurs, historians, might revolutionize some architects Haight continue to grow and to find common ground between them. We are currently working on community outreach, to promote cooperation between organizations, between different actors and seek consensus on what would make the main street.
While Revolutionize Haight initially a long-term vision, Martin said, it looks more and more like a shorter time horizon for real changes occur. "It feels like I might have more luck here than I thought," he said.
If all goes well, "I really like a model of how we do things in the city," he said. "The fact that the community more in high-level planning. Let make the city their expertise available, and we can take on more responsibility in the process."
