A New Road
48th Avenue to Lincoln complete!

New bike lanes on GH  

Paving for Point Lobos and the Great Highway to Lincoln is complete and the roadway is looking good. This smooth new street is a 20-30 year investment for San Francisco and Public Works is excited to announce its completion.

 

Striping the new road has been completed from 48th to Fulton and the remaining striping is going in now and will be complete soon.

Streets Bond Update from DPW Director
Public Works Very Busy Right Now; Streets Bond Making a Difference

Paving Work at JFK 

by Mohammed Nuru, Director, Department of Public Works 

 

Thanks to the support of San Francisco voters in 2011, the condition of the City's roadways and sidewalks is improving. Every neighborhood in San Francisco is seeing the benefits of the $248 million Road Repaving and Street Safety Bond, with safer conditions for pedestrians and smoother streets for motorists and cyclists on hundreds of city blocks.
 
You might have noticed it is a busy time for new construction. The Streets Bond is a significant capital investment into perhaps the most important, most utilized elements of the City's infrastructure: our streets and sidewalks. We are grateful to be deeply involved in all the activity delivering these quality-of-life projects.
 
We are a little more than a year into the three-year bond program and there are hundreds of public works projects going on currently.
