Interested in the future of the Castro/Upper Market commercial corridor? A coalition of neighborhood and merchant groups, with support from my office and the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), is conducting a survey in order to collect data to craft a neighborhood retail strategy. Attached is a brief online survey people can fill out. Heres an overview of the projects goals: The primary aim of the Retail Strategy Project is to address the existing high vacancy rate and develop an actionable plan to fill new ground floor retail in a manner that enables the commercial corridor to thrive while preserving its unique character and draw as a tourist destination. It also aims to ensure high quality of life for area residents. Specific questions under consideration now include: •What new businesses would residents like to see in the neighborhood? •What mix of residents vs. international, national and regional tourists visit the neighborhood commercial corridor? •Why are some businesses vacating the neighborhood? •For which goods and services do local residents leave the neighborhood, and where do they go to buy them? •How can desired businesses be attracted to the neighborhood?
