Annual Great Highway Sand Relocation Project Starts Monday, June 22

For immediate release: June 18, 2020
Contact: Rachel Gordon, rachel.gordon@sfdpw.org
 
ANNUAL GREAT HIGHWAY SAND RELOCATION PROJECT STARTS MONDAY, JUNE 22
 
San Francisco, CA – Starting Monday, June 22, 2020, San Francisco Public Works will begin the annual sand maintenance activities along the Great Highway.
 
A contractor will redistribute approximately 16,000 cubic yards of sand, moving it from the side of the roadway toward the ocean. The aim is to reduce the likelihood of sand buildup on the Great Highway during windy weather.
 
Traffic lanes in both directions of the Great Highway already have been closed and used as a promenade for pedestrians and cyclists during the City’s Shelter-in-Place Order. However, Public Works is asking that people avoid using the southbound lanes during the sand relocation project to avoid the earth-moving equipment used for the operation. Crews will be in the area Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., for up to seven days.
 
In addition to the removal of sand at the seawall between Noriega Street and Santiago Street, the project will address the sand accumulation at Judah Street.
 
Public Works has a small window to perform the annual work; it must be timed to make sure crews do not disturb the Snowy Western Plover, a small shorebird that is protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The plovers can be found at Ocean Beach about 10 months out of the year but take off in the spring or early summer to nest in other coastal areas and inland salt flats. Monitors with the federal Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) have confirmed that the plovers have left Ocean Beach and that it is safe to begin relocating the sand. 
 
The work is being done in coordination with the GGNRA and under a special-use permit for activities that occur on federal parklands.
 
Public Works has hired Yerba Buena Engineering & Construction, Inc. to perform this work.
 
About San Francisco Public Works: The 24/7 City agency cleans and resurfaces streets; plants and nurtures City-maintained street trees; designs, constructs and maintains City-owned facilities; inspects streets and sidewalks; builds curb ramps; eradicates graffiti; partners with neighborhoods; trains people for jobs; greens the right of way; and educates our communities.

Statement from Acting Public Works Director Alaric Degrafinried Regarding the Removal of a Black Lives Matter Mural on a Bernal Heights Boulder

For immediate release: June 9, 2020
Contact: Rachel Gordon: rachel.gordon@sfdpw.org
 
 
Statement from Acting Public Works Director Alaric Degrafinried Regarding the Removal of a Black Lives Matter Mural on a Bernal Heights Boulder
 
San Francisco, CA – A San Francisco Public Works employee on our graffiti abatement crew, responding to a 311 service request, painted out a Black Lives Matter mural on a boulder in Bernal Heights this morning. This was an extremely unfortunate mistake that never should have happened.
 
San Francisco Public Works stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and we join people across our country and world in grief and anger at our local and national systems that perpetrate violence against Black people and people of color. The painting out of the mural was a mistake. To be clear, it was not done in an attempt to silence people’s anger, sadness and frustration over police brutality and institutional racism. I have reached out to the person who painted the mural to offer my sincere apology and assurance that we would not be removing her work from the boulder again. We also are offering her paint.
 
Public Works, along with all other City departments, is working with the Office of Racial Equity to advance a citywide racial equity framework that addresses the history of structural and institutional racism in San Francisco government’s policies and practices.
 
Public Works commits to doing the difficult work of examining how racism has impacted our organization and the communities we serve. We strive to build a department that responds to these systems of oppression, both internally and externally, and erases racial disparities in the workplace and in how we provide services to San Francisco’s diverse communities.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY:
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE BETTER MARKET STREET PROJECT
Starting today, May 29, 2020, the public is invited to review and provide comment on the Draft Environmental Assessment for the Better Market Street project
 
 
San Francisco, CA – San Francisco Public Works and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) have completed and released a Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) for the Better Market Street project that complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The project corridor is Market Street between Octavia Boulevard and Steuart Street.
 
To view the Draft EA, visit: www.bettermarketstreetsf.org/EA
 
The Draft EA will be available for public review for a 45-day period that starts today. Comments may be submitted in writing and will be accepted until 5 p.m. on July 14, 2020. Comments may be addressed to:
 
Boris Deunert
San Francisco Public Works
30 Van Ness Avenue, 5th Floor
San Francisco, CA 94102
 
A virtual public hearing to receive comments on the Draft EA will be held on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The virtual public hearing will be conducted using Zoom and will consist of a video and audio presentation. Further details for the public hearing will be available on the project website: www.bettermarketstreetsf.org/EA.
 
The Better Market Street Project proposes to make Market Street safer and more efficient for all modes of transportation by reducing conflicts among transit, paratransit, taxis, commercial vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and other micromobility modes.
 
The project includes changes to and replacement of the roadway configuration, traffic signals, surface transit, bicycle facilities, commercial and passenger loading, vehicular parking and utilities along the 2.2 mile-stretch of Market Street within the project limits.
 
The project also will upgrade infrastructure along the corridor that is reaching the end of its design life, improve accessibility and revitalize the streetscape.
 
There also is a design alternative under consideration that provides additional benefits for pedestrians, transit and bicycles between the intersection where Ninth, Grove, Hayes and Market streets converge and the intersection of Gough and Market streets.
 
San Francisco Public Works is the project sponsor and Caltrans is the lead agency under NEPA. A Draft EA is required because the City will be using federal funds from the Federal Highway Administration to help construct the Better Market Street project. The City was awarded a BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) Grant in December 2019.
 
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) clearance occurred through a separate process with the San Francisco Planning Department as the CEQA lead agency. The Environmental Impact Report was certified by the San Francisco Planning Commission on October 10, 2019.
