| 释义 |
The plaza sits 20 feet below street level, built with granite walls, terraced concrete planters and brick paving, extending into a walkway underneath Cyril Magnin Street.[1] It is located next to the Flood Building and the cable car turntable at Powell and Market streets, and opposite the Westfield mall. Hallidie Plaza opened in 1973, as a central element of a remodeling of Market Street spurred by BART.[4] It was named after Andrew Smith Hallidie, who developed the world's first cable car system in 1873. The San Francisco Chronicles urban design critic John King has described Hallidie Plaza as desolated, denounced its design as deeply flawed and commented that "what was envisioned as a grand entrance instead is a void to avoid, a deep, angled space beloved by none but too pricey to fix."[1] {{coord|37|47|4|N|122|24|29|W|type:landmark_region:US_dim:60|display=title}}References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url = http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/place/article/Sunken-Hallidie-Plaza-was-a-deeply-wrong-design-6626025.php?t=e0253ef4b13e72cb18|title = Sunken Hallidie Plaza was a deeply wrong design idea|last = King|first = John|date = 2015-11-11|website = San Francisco Chronicle|access-date = 2016-04-11}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Spoilers-Eyesore-buildings-that-taint-their-5693345.php |title=Spoilers: Eyesore buildings that taint their environment |author=King, John |date=August 16, 2014 |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |accessdate=4 October 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.sanfrancisco.travel/article/visitor-information-center-faq|title = Visitor Information Center FAQ|website = San Francisco Travel|access-date = 2016-04-11}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=King|first1=John|title=Just start over with desolate Hallidie Plaza|url=http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Just-start-over-with-desolate-Hallidie-Plaza-2542335.php|website=SF Gate}} External links{{commonscat}}
