February 2026 

San Francisco Public Works has hired Esquivel Grading and Paving, Inc. to perform  a variety of  infrastructure improvements along Howard Street between 4th Street and the Embarcadero.  The Howard Transbay Streetscape Improvement Project has begun, although we have not yet broke ground.  We are still in the coordination stages and crews will begin minor prep-work such as staging, traffic-control and roadway potholing (for underground utilities) starting in late- March.  2026.  The construction scheduled sequencing will start and Embarcadero and work west toward 4th Street.

This project involves many different infrastructure improvements, including the construction of a new, protected two-way bicycle lane, reconstructed curb ramps and sidewalks, streetscape elements like trees, benches and bicycle racks, new and improved traffic signals, new roadway and pedestrian lighting, and improvements to transit infrastructure.

We are aware of the inconvenience caused by construction and apologize in advance. We will do everything possible to minimize the impact of our activities on your neighborhood.  If you have concerns (scheduled deliveries, construction questions, accessibility needs, and access) please contact Public Works' Public Affairs representative Dadisi Najib.

Your cooperation will help this project be a success for your neighborhood and the City of San Francisco.  Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
