The Third Street Bridge, also known as the "Lefty O'Doul Bridge", underwent rehabilitation work to sustain the integrity of the bridge and to address corrosion issues. 
 

As part of Muni Forward, SFMTA is implementing transit priority and pedestrian safety improvements along the 9 San Bruno route that will make it safer to walk, increase the reliability of service, and enhance the customer experience—on and off the bus. The 9 San Bruno Muni Froward Project will consist of constructing new transit islands, bus bulbs, bus pads and curb ramps and all associated work.

Several transit reliability and pedestrian safety improvements will be constructed as part of the project, including:

The Second Street Improvement Project stretched from downtown San Francisco to SOMA. 
 

In 2006, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and Public Works completed public streetscape improvements on Sixth Street, between Market and Harrison Streets, by widening sidewalks, planting new street trees and installing ornamental street lights. Through discussions with the South of Market Project Area Committee (SOMPAC), Agency staff and Public Works have identified an initial set of alleyways for improvements.

The $248 million Road Repaving and Street Safety Bond was approved by voters in November 2011. With it, the City is repaving streets in neighborhoods throughout San Francisco; repairing deteriorating bridges, overpasses and stairways; and making traffic, pedestrian and bicycle and safety improvements.
 

The SoMa West Improvement Projects include the development of a skate park and dog play area on the Caltrans right of way parcels located underneath the Central Freeway, between Valencia and Otis streets. In order to authorize the City to build, operate, and maintain the sites and facilities, an agreement was negotiated with Caltrans and the owners of the property. The leases were approved by the Board of Supervisors. The construction of both the skate park and dog play area were bid as one project and are currently under construction.

Although originally envisioned as a community garden, the design for the McCoppin Garden has been rethought. As a result of successful food truck event pilots and community meetings, neighbors and merchants worked to redesign and activate the McCoppin space. Several meetings were held over the summer of 2011 to revisit the design for this cul-de-sac space in the hopes of melding the vision for greenery with other ways to revitalize and enliven the space, increasing security through more activity and use.

The Real Estate Department working in partnership with the Department of the Environment and Public Works, designed and installed a living, green roof at One South Van Ness -- part of a larger roof replacement program.
 

This project will enhance bicycle safety and convenience through this important connector for bicyclists from Market Street to the Polk Street corridor, a busy bike thoroughfare. This two-block stretch along the southern end of Polk Street, from Grove Street to Market Street, has separated bike lanes in both directions.
 

A new northbound bike lane is separated from traffic by landscaped medians. The existing southbound separated bike lane was widened and a painted buffer with safe-hit posts was added between Hayes and Market Streets.
