Smellcurry wallpaper and a sugar and spice-covered table by Sita K. Bhaumik in collaboration with indie perfumer Yosh Han.

The Cesar Chavez East Community Design Plan will develop a community-supported vision and design for street that is safe, comfortable and accessible to all. As an important connector, Cesar Chavez brings together the Mission, Potrero, Bernal Heights, Bayview and Dogpatch neighborhoods and is also a vital link to the Blue Greenway and the Bay.This project will re-think Cesar Chavez as a truly multimodal corridor that can accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, cars, and trucks and that can offer recreational, ecological and cultural opportunities for people who live and work in the area.
