Improving Market Street is no longer just listening to Mayor Gavin Newsom’s speeches on revitalization efforts in the area. Now, residents can be a part of the process.

San Francisco is forming a 15-member citizen advisory committee for the Better Market Street Project, an aggressive effort to revamp Market Street into a place where people want to walk, shop and visit.

The City and the Chamber of Commerce are asking residents to apply for the committee by Tuesday, Sept. 7.
