Green bus shelter at Larkin and McAllister

Planted with beach strawberries. Supposedly temporary?

From the Chronicle:

The mayor is expected to release San Francisco's first food policy in the next several months, and one of the cornerstones will be decreased reliance on imported food. The policy will also encourage urban gardens and call for planting fruit-bearing trees and plants in street medians and abandoned lots.

...

The key is to get creative, he said. Look at school playgrounds and empty lots and city-owned lands outside San Francisco.

Even bus shelters can turn into gardens. The city's newest - unveiled Thursday at the corner of Larkin and McAllister streets - is roofed with sod and planted with strawberries.
