VOLUNTEERS GEARING UP FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SPRUCE UP – RAIN OR SHINE
Community Clean Team’s season finale on Saturday will green and clean District 11
San Francisco, CA – More than 150 volunteers are expected to join Public Works crews and District 11 Supervisor John Avalos on Saturday at the final Community Clean Team event of the 2016 season.
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 existing building was constructed over fifty years ago and comprised of a gym, a weight room, a kitchen, an auditorium and an office at the ground level. Locker rooms and showers were located within the basement. Tall Monterey Pines surround the recreation center. A number of physical and functional problems motivated the construction of a new building as opposed to the renovation of the existing building.
Through the San Francisco Recreation and Parks, the Bureau of Architecture was retained to prepare an existing assessment study and conceptual design program for the Junipero Serra Playground at 300 Stonecrest Drive. The study was an assessment of the one story clubhouse and grounds along with recommendations for building and site improvements, including accessibility for persons with disabilities. The Recreation and Parks accepted and approved the conceptual program and it became the basis for a capital improvement project.
Public Works provided the architectural and landscape design, engineering and construction management services for the renovation of the Cayuga Playground and construction of the new Cayuga Clubhouse on behalf of Recreation and Parks Department.
The project workscope includes the repair and renovation of the play area, tennis and basketball courts; restoration of existing pathways; upgrades to the irrigation and lighting systems; improved accessibility, and overall reconditioning of the park landscape and sitting areas.
