Revamping Mission Plaza in San Luis Obispo, construction starting

January 3, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

The City of San Luis Obispo on Friday announced plans to begin construction in January to revamp of Mission Plaza. The revitalization of the heart of Downtown SLO is estimated to take nine months.

Construction is slated to begin as early as Jan. 13. During construction, commuters can expect minor traffic impacts on the corner of Broad Street and Monterey Street, with intermittent closures. Detours, including crosswalk reroutes into the plaza, will be clearly marked to maintain pedestrian safety and accessibility.

The Plaza Project includes:

  • Constructing a café kiosk with outdoor seating
  • Replacing public restrooms
  • Restoration to the historic Murray Adobe

In addition, the project will feature site improvements including new paving, enhanced lighting, and updated landscaping. Construction is expected to be complete by fall 2025.

What? No bike paths?

Monterey would be significantly less impacted, if the city would open it back up to two-way traffic again.


The pandemic is long over, we no longer need private businesses taking up taxpayer funded streets, to compensate the forced social distancing mandates.

The current restrooms are en embarrassment to the city. They’ll spend millions creating new ones, but just like other SLO public restrooms that have been shut down or are too disgusting to use due the city allowing homeless people to trash them, they’ll eventually be unusable unless we change our attitudes on making all citizens–even the homeless–respect public property. Won’t happen with the current city government.
