In late 2021, Recreation and Park staff received a citizen complaint about access into the San Francisco Botanical Garden Bookstore in Golden Gate Park, as it has one step up into the facility and there is no handrail. To address this issue, Rec and Park will be performing construction work to ensure that the Botanical Garden Bookstore complies with required building codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The project recently underwent a review process by Rec and Park’s team of designers and maintenance staff, and now San Francisco Public Works Bureau of Architecture is revising our design plans per the comments received. Once complete, we will finalize the Conceptual Design and then prepare drawings to advertise a request to contractors to bid for this project’s construction contract. We’re aiming to begin construction later this year and complete the project in early 2024. We will keep you posted as the project progresses.
