LARKIN STREET REVIVAL PROJECT
This month, we formally announced the Larkin Street Revival Project, which is a multi-year, comprehensive effort to stabilize and reactivate a key stretch of Larkin Street. Backed by significant private investment and supported by City leadership, the initiative combines corridor activation, small business support, public realm improvements, enhanced safety coordination, and ongoing programming to drive sustained momentum. The investment in Larkin Street represents a long-term commitment to restoring confidence, increasing foot traffic, and reinforcing Larkin Street as a vibrant commercial and cultural corridor within the Tenderloin. Stay tuned for an upcoming conversation about the project at Supervisor Bilal Mahmood’s State of the Streets meeting next month.
STEPHEN TENNIS WAY
Next month, we will honor the life of Stephen Tennis, a long-time Safe Passage team member and an integral part of the TLCBD and broader Tenderloin community, with the commemorative renaming of the 200 block of Eddy Street.
The new sign at Eddy and Taylor will read “Stephen Tennis Way,” followed by a community gathering at Boeddeker Park. Donations of $23+ will help cover event costs, shirts for attendees, lunch, and all proceeds will go directly toward supporting Stephen’s family and helping with final arrangements. We encourage those who are able to sponsor additional shirts for community members so that all can participate in honoring Stephen’s legacy. A donation is not required to attend — we would still love for you to join us. Everyone is welcome
TENDERLOIN INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PANEL DISCUSSION
Earlier this month, TLCBD’s Kate Robinson participated in a panel discussion at SPUR highlighting the Tenderloin Investment Partnership, a collaborative model that aligns anchor institutions around shared accountability and neighborhood reinvestment. The conversation focused on how coordinated capital and programming can strengthen families, support local businesses, and build long-term resilience in the Tenderloin. We are grateful to our community partners, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, Tenderloin Museum, and UC Law, and to Kunal Modi for guiding a thoughtful discussion on what sustained neighborhood investment truly looks like in practice.
