Description of Program and Relief
‘Shared Spaces’ Program for Outdoor Restaurant and Retail Activity
The ‘Shared Spaces’ program will allow neighborhood businesses to share a portion of the public right-of-way (such as sidewalks, streets, parks, and plazas) for restaurant pick-up and other neighborhood retail activity, as allowed by San Francisco’s Public Health Order. Once restaurant dining is permitted under the Health Order, the public right-of-way may also be used for outdoor restaurant seating.
Government or Lead Agency
City of San Francisco, Office of the Mayor
Dates Available
Available now through December 31, 2020.
Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions

In order to receive a permit, businesses must self-manage safety and accessibility requirements, such as ensuring a clear path for pedestrians. Temporary permits will be valid until December 31, 2020.
