Activation of the Downtown Public Access Walkway Called "The Breezeway"

The City of South San Francisco is seeking proposals to activate a City-owned public property located at 356 Grand Avenue in downtown South San Francisco, known as the Breezeway. The City envisions a use that will encourage additional foot traffic downtown, complement the neighboring retail and restaurant uses along the Grand Avenue corridor, and help activate a centrally located under-utilized space. The selected concept will be required to maintain the existing public-access walkway, landscaping, and lighting. Proposals should include a narrative describing the concept, a detailed conceptual site plan, estimated timeline, and budget. • The site is approximately 7,000 square feet, with the lot measuring 50 feet wide by 140 feet deep. • The site has frontage on Grand Avenue and is accessible by vehicle with loading and unloading on 4th Lane. • The site does not have dedicated parking but is adjacent to the Miller Avenue Parking Garage with 244 paid parking spaces. • Utilities are not active on site, and there are minimal electrical outlets connected to the City landscaping and lighting portion. • The City is offering the site as is, with no additional resources dedicated to enhanced infrastructure, alternate landscaping, or additional funds to support the proposed concept.
