About Harvey Milk Plaza

A public plaza in San Francisco's Castro District that commemorates Harvey Milk, located where Market, Castro and 17th Streets meet. Its southern side serves as an entrance to Castro station. Voters approved $25 million in November 2024 for a redesign that would add four connected spaces: a gathering area, a monument, a quiet grove and an underground cultural gallery at transit level. The gallery still lacks full funding, and groundbreaking is expected in early 2027.
