Construction Update as of January 7, 2022
17th Street Curb Ramp Work Continues
M2 the Contractor working on the 17th Street project for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has resumed work on the curb ramps at Market & Douglass Streets; Southeast Ord Street; and at the Vulcan Stairway. M2 plans to resume installing new water main pipelines along 17th Street from Roosevelt to Clayton the week of January 24th. Remaining sections of this project include pipeline installation along portions of Clayton, Ashbury, Mars and Saturn streets. Once these sections are all done, we will do the final paving for the project, which is estimated to be July or August of 2022.
The tree at 1032-1034 Ashbury Street will be removed because it will interfere with the installation of a new curb ramp to the standards of the Americans With Disabilities Act. SFPUC will pay the in-lieu fee to plant a tree at another location in San Francisco.
Schedule
Work hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will provide traffic control, but residents may experience delays up to ten minutes when entering and leaving the work area. If you have special needs, please call us and we will make every effort to accommodate you.
What to Expect During Construction
Equipment and materials will be temporarily located in your neighborhood during construction (mostly on side streets). After installation of the new water pipeline, crews will transfer water services, install fire hydrants and make final connections. Once construction is completed, material and equipment will be removed within 1 to 2 weeks.
Parking will be restricted during construction hours. We apologize for this inconvenience and assure you parking will be restored as soon as possible. Please see posted barricade signs for exact work days, hours, locations, as they may vary depending on construction task.
The asphalt paving applied daily is temporary and designed to provide a safe road surface during construction. Final paving will occur after pipeline work is completed. It may take up to 30 days or longer before final paving is complete.
Connection of services
Crews will disinfect and clean new water main pipes. You will be notified with a door hanger, regarding any planned water service interruption to your property. This is usually done after all pipeline work is completed.
Final construction activities
Crews will perform final paving after pipeline work is completed. Once completed crews will remove equipment, cleanup site and perform final inspection of site.
