District 3

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.
 

One of the city’s most iconic streets, Broadway connects and serves as the vibrant retail heart of several San Francisco neighborhoods. Phases I and II of the Broadway Streetscape Improvement project, completed in 2005 and 2008, provided resurfacing and transit and pedestrian improvements to two segments of Broadway.  Phase III will connect the work completed in previous phases by focusing on streetscape improvements on Broadway between Kearny and Montgomery Streets, and resurfacing improvements from Kearny to Battery Streets.   
 

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.

In collaboration with the public, businesses and tenants along Jefferson at Fisherman’s Wharf, the City coordinated a public realm plan that improves on this historic and important corridor with a design plan that is focused on pedestrian priorities; considering the need for wide, open spaces, improved intersections and crosswalks, and vibrant, architectural landscape upgrades that are consistent with the Wharf’s and San Francisco’s roots.
 

The Chinatown Health Center is one of 12 public health clinics operated by the Department of Public Health.  Builti in the 1970’s, the building is a three -tory concrete/steel frame structure built over the Robert C. Levy (Broadway) Tunnel.  It is situated along the Mason Street Cable Car Line in the Nob Hill/Chinatown District of San Francisco and serves the many residents in the neighborhood.
 

On behalf of the Recreation and Park Department, We provided architectural, landscape design, engineering and construction management services for the new Betty Ann Ong Chinese Recreation Center. Amid lion dancers, musicians, elected officials and hundreds of community residents, the new complex opened to the public on July 14, 2012.
 

The Port of San Francisco retained the services of Public Works to oversee the development of the existing Pier 27 into a new primary cruise ship terminal and public plaza. We provided overall project management and landscape architectural services for the construction of this significant capital project. The joint venture of KMD Architects and Pfau Long Architecture provided the architectural and engineering services.

The new North Beach Branch Library opened on May 10, representing the 24th and final branch library to be built or remodeled through the Branch Library Improvement Program, primarily funded by a $105.9 million, voter-backed bond measure approved by voters in 2000. The new library is located at 850 Columbus Ave. at the corner of Lombard Street.
