16th Ave Tiled Steps Project in San Francisco

What feelings are conjured for you when you see this?



The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps project has been a neighborhood effort to create a mosaic running up 163 steps. The steps are located at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco.

The project began January of 2003, with the assist of the Golden Gate Heights Neighborhood Association.

300 neighbors joined us in making the steps and over 220 neighbors sponsored handmade animal, bird and fish name tiles imbedded within the mosaic. The process was completed on August 18, 2004. The installation of the Project in August 2005, with the exception of the caulking, which will be done in early September 2005.
