Project Description

San Francisco Public Works has contracted with Precision Engineering Inc. to install new sewer utilities and renovate the roadway at various locations in San Francisco as part of the Various Locations Pavement Renovation and Sewer Replacement Project No. 60 (VL60). We will be performing this work in the Pacific Heights, Anza Vista, Western Addition, Cathedral Hill, Telegraph Hill, Inner Sunset and Outer Sunset neighborhoods. 

Project Description

San Francisco Public Works partnered with SFMTA to upgrade traffic signal infrastructure at 16 intersections in the Western Addition Neighborhood. The scope of work included wiring, Pedestrian Countdown Signals (PCS), Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) pushbuttons, vehicular signal heads, poles and mast-arms, and signal controllers. Additionally, curb ramp work, sidewalk work, curb and gutter work, median work, and local base repair and paving work is included in this contract.
 

To allow construction crews to work in the roadway and in the Muni trackway, we will be shutting down Market Street between 5th and 8th Streets from 5:00am on Saturday, October 14th through Saturday, October 28th. During this period, we'll be temporarily moving above-ground transit off Market Street between 3rd Street and 10th Street to avoid the construction zone.

Why do we need to strengthen post-disaster response facilities?

After a major earthquake or other disaster, San Francisco will rely on select public buildings to deploy aid, provide shelter and coordinate emergency response and recovery. It is essential that these facilities be viable and functional for these disaster-response purposes and remain operational.
 

Why do we need to renovate the 9-1-1 Call Center?

The 9‐1‐1 Call Center is operated and managed by the Department of Emergency Management. It is located at the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at 1011 Turk Street in the Western Addition neighborhood and houses public safety dispatchers who answer all calls made to 9‐1‐1. These dispatchers are the initial point of contact for all of San Francisco’s first responders, 24 hours a day.
