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 Bartlett Street/Mercado Plaza project lies between 21st and 22nd Street in the heart of the San Francisco Mission District. Building on the ideas of the Mission Streetscape Plan, a 2-year community-based effort led by the San Francisco Planning Department (2008-2010) and the more recent placemaking efforts of the Mission Community Market, the Bartlett Streetscape Improvement Project will provide a beautiful, safe and much needed public space for a wide variety of community programs and bring diverse communities together.

The Balboa Streetscape Improvement project extends from 34th to 39th Avenue in the city's Outer Richmond District. Balboa Street serves as a vital commercial corridor for the surrounding residential neighborhood. The renovation will provide a safer and more pleasant environment for pedestrians, motorists, cyclists and transit riders with the installation of special traffic calming features.
 

The 24th Street Urban Village Streetscape Project will improve pedestrian safety and transit efficiency along the corridor. Focused on the commercial hub of Noe Valley, the streetscape project combines the goals of the “Noe Valley’s 24th Street – An Urban Village” plan completed in 2006 and the priorities of the community today. The project will add bus bulb-outs and high-visibility decorative crosswalks to reduce pedestrian crossing times, improve bus loading, increase safety, and emphasize the corridor as a spotlight commercial district.

The Great Highway was repaved from Point Lobos to Sloat Boulevard. This was a six month project. Streetscape improvements were made to the stretch of road along the Golden Gate Park at Ocean Beach between Fulton and Lincoln. The improvements included new curb ramps, pedestrian crossing and bicycle safety upgrades, and the installation of a landscaped roadway median. Water main installation work is also being performed as a part of the project.
 

The Dogpatch and Northwest Potrero Hill Green Benefit District formed in July 2015 for a 10 year period. Both the Dogpatch and Northwest Potrero Hill neighborhoods feature a diverse array of historic residences, industrial warehouses, live-work lofts and commercial businesses.
 

The Telegraph Hill Rock Slope safety improvement project is stabilizing the crumbling cliff below Coit Tower, and on the hillside at Chestnut Street. The next phase of work began in April 2016 along the rock slope at Chestnut Street. San Francisco Public Works hired Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring, Inc. to perform the work.
 

The Justice Facilities Improvement Program (JFIP) defines a strategic approach to replace the Hall of Justice, located at 850 Bryant Street. Built in 1958, the site is bounded by 7th Street on the west, Harrison Street/Interstate 80 on the north, and Harriet Street on the east. Since its original construction, there have been two enhancements: a two-story addition above the Coroner’s office and a rooftop gymnasium serving County Jails One and Two.
 

On December 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors rejected the proposed 384-bed RDF and verbally directed the Department of Real Estate to begin negotiating the acquisition of parcels on the proposed site.
