Project Description: The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), in cooperation with the City and County of San Francisco, is working to improve escalator durability and security at station entrances/exits along Market Street leading to the underground Embarcadero, Montgomery Street, Powell Street, and Civic Center/UN Plaza station concourses. The existing entrances/exits consist of variations of side-by-side stairs and escalators leading down to the underground concourse level, and are currently uncovered and exposed to inclement weather and discarded trash leading to frequent breakdowns of the existing escalators. The proposed improvements would include the installation of canopy covers over the entrances/exits, as well as replacement and refurbishment of existing street-level escalators. Each protective canopy would also be equipped with a motorized security grille that would lock at the sidewalk level of the station entrance/exit when the stations are closed.

  • If You Are a Current Or Former Owner of One Or More Condominium Units in the Millennium Tower, You May Be Eligible for a Payment from a Class Action Settlement
    SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO If You are a Current or Former Owner of one or more condominium units in the Millennium Tower, You May Be Eligible for a Payment from a Class Action Settlement. The Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. As part of consolidated litigation before the San Francisco Superior Court addressing The Millennium Tower, a condominium and commercial building, located at 301 Mission Street in San Francisco, a class action settlement has been reached addressing claims brought by certain past and present unit holders in the building. Commencing in May 2016, a number of lawsuits were filed addressing alleged settlement and tilt of The Millennium Tower. These separate lawsuits were brought on behalf of The Millennium Tower Association, individual unit owners, and a putative class of unit holders. The cases were consolidated for pretrial and trial purposes and involved many parties and cross-claims. Among others, Defendants and Cross-defendants across the cases included Mission Street Development, the developer of The Millennium Tower, many of the contractors on The Millennium Tower, parties alleged to have been involved in the sale of units, and the various developers, contractors, and owners of adjacent properties who were alleged to have caused, impacted, or exacerbated the alleged settlement and tilt. Through mediation with all the parties, a global settlement has been reached, including this class action. Liability is disputed by the Settling Parties, and no Court decision has been made on the merits.
