    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 6, 2014 Contact: Paul Rose 415.601.1637 [email protected] **PRESS RELEASE** Weekend Construction Begins on Sunset Tunnel Trackway Improvement Project San Francisco—The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which oversees all transportation in the city, including the Municipal Railway (Muni), will start construction to replace tracks and other infrastructure inside Sunset Tunnel this weekend. The Sunset Tunnel Trackway Improvement Project will upgrade the N Judah Metro Line making it safer and more reliable. Upgrades will include: Track and infrastructure replacements (between Cole Valley and Duboce Triangle) Transit Signal Priority (TSP) upgrades at nine intersections along the N Judah Line o This new technology will reduce wait time at traffic signals for Muni vehicles by holding green lights longer. Construction of two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant platforms at Judah Street and 28th Avenue The tunnel construction is scheduled for 15 weekends between November 2014 and June 2015. Construction will commence Nov. 7-10, and continue the weekends of Nov. 14 and Nov. 21. After that, tunnel construction will take a holiday reprieve and resume in early 2015. During construction weekends, N Judah rail service will be substituted with bus shuttles between Church & Duboce and Ocean Beach. Bus substitution will start at approximately 7 p.m. on Friday and will operate during all regular service hours until approximately 2 a.m. Monday morning. The weekend N Judah Owl bus service will not be affected. The bus shuttles will follow the N Judah making regular stops except for the tunnel portion where buses will operate on Haight Street.

  • DRAFT MINUTES San Francisco County Transportation Authority Tuesday, November 17, 2020
    DRAFT MINUTES San Francisco County Transportation Authority Tuesday, November 17, 2020 1. Roll Call Chair Peskin called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m. Present at Roll Call: Commissioners Fewer, Haney, Mandelman, Preston, Peskin, Ronen, Safai, Stefani, Walton and Yee (10) Absent at Roll Call: Commissioner Mar (entered during Item 2) (1) 2. Chair’s Report – INFORMATION Chair Peskin reported that in addition to helping elect President-elect Biden and Vice- President-elect Harris, San Francisco voters looked favorably on transportation funding measures on November 3rd. He added that locally, San Francisco approved Proposition A, the Health and Homelessness, Parks and Streets Bond. He said that this $487.5 million general obligation bond included $41.5 million to repave and reconstruct roads, rehabilitate, and make seismic improvements to street structures and plazas and to install and renovate curb ramps. He said that there are also funds for re-building parks and open spaces, including safe pedestrian access across the city. Chair Peskin reported that regionally, voters in San Francisco along with all three Caltrain district counties, including Santa Clara and San Mateo, passed Measure RR by over 2/3 approval which is the threshold for the first-ever dedicated funding source for Caltrain. He added that the one-eighth cent sales tax for Caltrain will provide a lifeline to the railroad which is struggling with severe fare revenue loss associated with low levels of ridership during the pandemic. He shared that the funds will also help off-set SFMTA’s obligations to provide operating support, benefitting Muni. He added that the funds will provide a way to build toward Caltrain’s future as an electrified service.

  • Historic and Conservation Districts in San Francisco
    SAN FRANCISCO PRESERVATION BULLETIN NO. 10 HISTORIC AND CONSERVATION DISTRICTS IN SAN FRANCISCO HISTORIC DISTRICTS -- INTRODUCTION Over the past thirty-five years, the City and County of San Francisco has designated eleven historic districts and six conservation districts and has recognized approximately 30 districts included in the California Register of Historical Resources, the National Register of Historic Places, or named as National Historic Landmark districts. These districts encompass nationally significant areas such as Civic Center and the Presidio National Park; the City’s first commercial center in Jackson Square; warehouse districts such as the Northeast Waterfront and the South End; and residential areas such as Telegraph Hill, Liberty Hill, Alamo Square, Bush Street-Cottage Row and Webster Street. In general, an historic district is a collection of resources (buildings, structures, sites or objects) that are historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant. As an ensemble, resources in an historic district are worthy of protection because of what they collectively tell us about the past. Often, a limited number of architectural styles and types are represented because an historic district is typically developed around a central theme or period of significance. For instance, the theme for a proposed historic district might be “Late 19th century Victorian housing, designed in the Queen Anne style.” Period of significance refers to the span of time during which significant events and activities occurred within the historic district. Events and associations with historic properties are finite; most resources within an historic district have a clearly definable period of significance. A high percentage of buildings located within districts contribute to the understanding of a neighborhood’s or area’s evolution and development through integrity.
