District 3

The Joe DiMaggio Playground is a two-acre park with a children’s play area, tennis courts, bocce courts, pool building and sports courts. It sits directly next to the newly constructed North Beach Library and will transform one block of Mason Street from a street with vehicular traffic into a public park space. This project will reorganize and renovate all portions of the park, including:
 

The Kearny Streetscape Improvement Project will be a redesign of Kearny Street, from Broadway to Vallejo streets, and will include landscape elements and replacement of the road surface.

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 $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 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.
 

Public Works and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) initiated work on the California Cable Car Infrastructure Improvement Project, which replaced aging underground components of the cable car system and repaved the 17 blocks of California Street from Drumm Street west to Van Ness Avenue. This maintenance project was necessary to ensure the future safety and reliability of the cable car system.
 

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.
 

The Broadway Streetscape Improvement Project presented a practical solution to this overcrowded corridor that connects Chinatown and North Beach communities. The project was completed in two phases. The first phase, which created streetscape improvements on Broadway between Montgomery and Battery Streets, was completed in 2005 and the second phase on Broadway between Kearny Street and Grant Avenue was completed in 2008.
