District 3

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.

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.
