Inner Sunset Streetscape Improvements Project and Muni Forward Project

Construction Project Update: August 21, 2019

Dear Inner Sunset Neighbors,

Save the Date.. Join us for our Inner Sunset Streetscape Improvements Project Ribbon-Cutting Celebration on Wednesday, September 18, 2019 at 11am. The location will be on Irving Street at the 8th Avenue southwest corner by Citibank.  Crews have been wrapping up the final punch-list repairs and adding finishing touches such as landscaping.  We will be continuing to monitor the area for housekeeping to regularly remove trash and debris accumulation onsite and specifically within the empty planters.  The SFMTA is working on the installation of the new shelters and the consolidation of the stops. We have asked for additional signage to assist with directing riders to the old-existing platforms in the meantime to avoid confusion around active N-Judah stops.

 

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.
