Project Update: June 2019
Crews continue sidewalk work along the southside of Brannan Street between 8th Street and 9th Street. The sidewalk work at this location will be completed soon. 
 

The contractor also continues street base replacement work on Brannan Street. This phase of work requires the contractor saw-cut portions of the roadway, remove the broken concrete base, and pour back fresh concrete. Replacing the damaged street base now will help prolong the life of the new asphalt once the street is repaved. 
 

The Transbay Transit Center Streetscape Project, Phase 1, will bring much needed pedestrian improvements near the area of First and Mission streets. The project will add a mid-block pedestrian crosswalk signal and bulb-outs at the Shaw Alley and Mission Street intersection. This project also will widen the sidewalk along the north side of Mission Street between Fremont Street and First Street as well as First Street between Mission and Minna streets.
 

These improvements will help accommodate the additional foot traffic in the area that could be expected upon completion of the Transbay Transit Center. The Transbay Transit Center, which is currently under construction, will replace the former Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco with a modern transit hub.
 

Highlights of the Transbay Transit Hub include:

• Regional transportation hub containing more than one million square feet
• Serving 11 transportation systems
• Featuring City Park, a 5.4-acre rooftop public park. The 1,400-foot-long elevated linear park will include a variety of activities and amenities, including an open-air amphitheater, gardens, trails, open grass areas, children's play space, as well as a restaurant and cafe
• Featuring the Grand Hall, a ground-level floor with an open air main entrance off Mission Street between Salesforce Tower and Fremont Street known as Mission Square, which will include an information center, ticket kiosks, automated ticketing and the main escalators
• Featuring a dramatic Light Column, which will allow natural daylight into the Transit Center
• Incorporating the groundbreaking geometrical pattern of Dr. Roger Penrose, the eminent British mathematical physicist, in the undulating metal facade
• Including sustainable design features, which will allow the facility to achieve LEED Gold certification
• Pedestrian bridges that connect the Transit Center’s rooftop park to surrounding development
• Supporting significant public artworks throughout the facility
• Providing unique retail shopping and dining experiences

The Third Street Bridge, also known as the "Lefty O'Doul Bridge", underwent rehabilitation work to sustain the integrity of the bridge and to address corrosion issues. 
 

As part of Muni Forward, SFMTA is implementing transit priority and pedestrian safety improvements along the 9 San Bruno route that will make it safer to walk, increase the reliability of service, and enhance the customer experience—on and off the bus. The 9 San Bruno Muni Froward Project will consist of constructing new transit islands, bus bulbs, bus pads and curb ramps and all associated work. 
 

Details:

Several transit reliability and pedestrian safety improvements will be constructed as part of the project, including:

The Second Street Improvement Project stretched from downtown San Francisco to SOMA. 
 

In 2006, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and Public Works completed public streetscape improvements on Sixth Street, between Market and Harrison Streets, by widening sidewalks, planting new street trees and installing ornamental street lights. Through discussions with the South of Market Project Area Committee (SOMPAC), Agency staff and Public Works have identified an initial set of alleyways for improvements.

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.
