Project Information

The Laurel Village Improvement Project on California Street extends from Spruce Street to Laurel Street.  Laurel Village serves as a local commercial district for the surrounding residential neighborhood.  Our goals are to improve safety; provide a more attractive pedestrian environment; improve Muni travel time and reinforce the neighborhood identity of the Laurel Village Shopping Center.   Construction was completed in January 2019.
 

Broadway in Chinatown is one of the most recognizable districts in the city. With neighborhood-serving retail, schools, large-scale housing developments, and distinct historic character - great volumes of people travel to and through daily. The Streetscape improvement project will provide a safer and more pleasant walking experience, with new paving, streetlights, street trees, and street furnishings inspired by the unique history of the neighborhood.
 

The Bayview Transportation Improvements Project (BTIP) will improve the existing roadway network within San Francisco’s southeast waterfront community. The BTIP includes reconstructing, repaving, limited widening of existing city streets, and constructing new street segments to create a multi-modal transportation network.

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 spans from 34th to 39th Avenue in the city's Outer Richmond District. Balboa Street is a vital commercial corridor serving the surrounding residential neighborhood. The renovation aims to create a safer and more welcoming environment for pedestrians, motorists, cyclists, and transit riders through the installation of targeted 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.
 

Broadway is one of San Francisco’s most iconic streets, serving as a vital commercial and cultural artery through several neighborhoods. The Broadway Streetscape Improvement Project enhances the safety, appearance, and functionality of this important corridor.
