District 5

Project Description

San Francisco Public Works and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission have partnered to complete infrastructure improvements on several neighborhood blocks.  Our partnership allows us to minimize impacts to the public by consolidating work whenever possible.
 

Project Update (Week of 12/14/2020)
SFWD is scheduled to begin pressure testing the new line AWSS line at the Haight/Fillmore intersection. Due to the scope of work, the line will be tested in the evening. The work is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday December 16, 2020 at 8 PM and is expected to conclude by 10 PM. On Thursday, crews will back-fill the trench and begin apply temporary pavement to the area. In January 2021, our contractor will return to schedule permanent paving at the intersection. 
 

Project Description

The Market and Octavia Living Alleys project aims to create a public realm that strengthens the community, creates a sense of identity and makes a more useful, safe and attractive neighborhood.

Project Description

San Francisco Public Works constructed Traffic Signal Upgrades and Curb Ramps at intersections on Gough Street from Page Street to Broadway Street.  Construction began Janaury 2019 and continued through November 2019.  Bay Area Lightworks was the contractor and San Francisco Public Works managed construction.  
 

The Fire Station No. 5 seismic replacement project was funded by the Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response (ESER) Bond Program, a voter-backed initiative to strenghten neighborhood fire stations and other first response facilities.
 

Project Information

The 9th Avenue & Lincoln Way Improvement Project is an effort to improve the connection between the Inner Sunset neighborhood and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The entryway to Golden Gate Park at 9th Avenue is one of the most heavily-used entrances into the park, with attractions such as the SF Botanical Garden, the De Young Museum, and the Academy of Sciences close by.

Project Background

Construction of the Inner Sunset Streetscape Improvement project began September 2017, after years of collaboration between city agencies and community partners. The two-year construction project, will improve the N Judah service, beautify nearby neighborhoods and make the streets more livable, vibrant and sustainable. 
 

The project is a partnership between the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), Public Works (SFPW) and the Public Utility Commission (SFPUC). The work under this contract consists of transit bulb-outs; curb ramps; sewer replacement; landscape improvements; electrical work; water line replacement and street paving along Irving Street between Arguello Boulevard and 19th Avenue, 9th Avenue between Irving and Judah streets, and 10th Avenue between Irving and Judah streets.
 

Additionally, streetscape improvements will occur at the existing transit bulb-outs in Cole Valley at Carl and Cole streets, as well as Carl and Stanyan streets.
 

The project is focused on improving the quality of life of the Inner Sunset and Cole Valley neighborhoods by upgrading existing infrastructure. Multiple improvements are incorporated into the project in order to avoid further disruptions and service shutdowns.

The Haight Street of today is markedly different than the Haight Street of past generations but many aspects of the public realm remain relatively unchanged. The Upper Haight Transit Improvement and Pedestrian Realm project is based on a community-supported vision to revitalize the streets, sidewalks and public spaces in the historic Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The future design of Haight Street will enable the greatest possible degree of flexibility by creating urban spaces that are able to evolve with the changing demands of the neighborhood.
