I'm a graduating senior at San Francisco State University
(SFSU, http://design.sfsu.edu/) working on my final research project.

The study in short consists of investigating the relationship between education, public space, and blight in San Francisco.

The development aspect of the project aims at designing a viable strategy aimed at reducing the costs to the city, increasing good design in public, and encouraging peoples through civic cooperation participation and awareness.

Bird Eye View of Location







Take a look at all the section of track in question both whole and parted...

The yellow bit of track is 1000 feet long and runs through Dolores Park. This stretch of track is the most littered, dark, and vandalized because it unlike the other bits of track, has public assess. It also has vegetation, wall space, a walk path, and skywalks which are all nice design opportunities.

The Blue bit of track is 500 feet and has a heavily painted red fence in front of a bit of a view of the north east bay area on one side and a tall wall I'd say goes 6-7 feet up with paint. Both the fence and the walls present nice design opportunities.

The Green bit of track has vine covering most of the right side of track which is a nice solution integrating nature. The other side of track is mostly chain link fence. It also has a unique bus stop that needs some tlc.
