favorite San Francisco spot
with you.
Before we get started let's take a look back at our past week this week.
This week at Public Works improvements continued along Hayes Street. Did you know that 2018
marks the sixth year of the Stockton Street Sidewalk Expansion Program?
This holiday initiative alleviates sidewalk congestion and allows businesses to
better showcase their merchandise through the Lunar New Year festivities.
Through the clean total swap-out Recology is helping to keep Chinatown
looking fresh by replacing blighted toters with newly polished containers.
Like we always say, it's all in the details.
And this week we were proud to receive a
well-being at work award for employee wellness initiatives.
I love my bike.
It's with me when I'm traveling between meetings, grabbing a quick bite to eat or
running an errand during my lunch. Often times I'm a bit busy at home so
having an easy way to occasionally run a lunch errand is key.
If I'm heading South, Valencia Street is my go-to route. Over the past decade this
corridor has gone through a series of transformations which has greatly
improved the experience for pedestrians and cyclists alike.
My favorite improvement is a bicycle Green Wave which times the traffic signal so I can
travel at a comfortable speed and encounter fewer red lights. This gives me
a great relaxing cycling experience and allows me to take in the sights and
sounds of this vibrant corridor, it also has a traffic calming effect which
greatly increases safety for all users.
Public Works continues to collaborate
with multiple City agencies such as the Planning Department the Health
Department and MTA to develop safer streets for all. It's our Vision Zero
plan. As an enthusiastic cyclist improvements like these helped me feel
safer when traveling through our city.
If you keep riding to the end of the corridor you'll find the Mission Valencia Green Gateway.
With the rainy season underway here in the city these gardens offer a unique way of managing stormwater to
help keep runoff from overwhelming San Francisco's aging stormwater system.
While landscape architect's carefully selected species
to handle the wet and dry seasons making it a beautiful sight to see.
Hello from Jefferson Street in Fisherman's Wharf -- one of San Francisco's internationally
known tourist destinations. As a landscape architect at Public Works I'm
particularly excited to be reporting from the Jefferson Streetscape
Improvement Project, an exemplary work of landscape architecture in San Francisco.
It's one of my favorite landscape projects in the city because it
demonstrates how landscape design can transform the public realm for the
better. What you see here is the result of a community driven process and a
coordinated effort among the public, local merchants and business owners, the
Fisherman's Wharf Community Benefit District, City Planning,
the SF MTA and Public Works and is just the first phase of the Fisherman's Wharf
public realm plan. The most apparent improvements are the conversion of
Jefferson Street from a one-way to a two-way route. The roadway was also
reduced from four lanes to two and the sidewalk was widened making the popular
corridor safer and more inviting for people who walk and bike.
Next time you're out here though, you'll notice there's more than just that.
The Jefferson Streetscape design relies on the breadth of the landscape medium,
paving materials, topography, lighting, plants and spatial organization to
achieve accessibility to pedestrians along the entire length of Jefferson
Street. This includes improved intersections, new pedestrian plazas on
the street corners, pedestrian scale lighting, bike parking, public seating and
more. The resulting design celebrates the history of the wharf and San Francisco's
roots along the waterfront while creating a streetscape that embraces
today's walkable and bikable city. Most exciting, the project has proven to be
such a success that phase two is underway. So come and check it out for
yourself!
Hello from Dolores Park. The park is bound by 18th Street on the
North, 20th Street on the South, Dolores Street on the East and Church
Street on the West. Mission Dolores Park is one of my favorite spots because it
provides an urban oasis in an otherwise densely packed neighborhood.
Many neighbors consider this their backyard -- it's a place for children of
all ages, those who have pets, those who play sports, those who want to hang with
friends or those who just want to lay in the sun. People from in and out of San
Francisco come together to enjoy this green space. San Francisco Public Works
helped shape the final design of this project. The reimagined park now is home
to six tennis courts, a multi-use court, a basketball court, a sports field, the
Helen Diller playground, two off-leash dog areas, improved irrigation and public
restrooms and of course the expansive lawns.
If you haven't already, come experience the Dolores Park for yourself.
Sunset Boulevard starts at Lake Merced and ends at Golden Gate Park. The boulevard is
lined with gorgeous tree canopies and is great for runners, walkers, cyclists and
serves as a scenic road for people who drive. Public Works tree and landscape
crews take great pride in caring for this area. District 4 Supervisor Katie
Tang, who represents the Sunset District, wanted to make Sunset Boulevard even
more inviting and worked with Public Works to install outdoor exercise
equipment along the green-way. Her goal encouraged the community to explore
Sunset Boulevard and engage in healthy physical activity. As a resident of the
Outer Sunset, the fitness equipment along Sunset Boulevard allows me an easy
opportunity to exercise outdoors and it's really fun!
As a runner I have always appreciated San Francisco's nature and I'm happy to
have the advantage of working out even while waiting for stoplights using our
community's new outdoor fitness equipment. Come try it out for yourself.
Oh hey, didn't see you there. Don't mind me I'm just here at my favorite San
Francisco spot: Lilac Alley. When I think about San Francisco I think about a city
that's deeply rooted in arts and culture. San Francisco has evolved to be such an
iconic place in the world because different communities use arts and
culture as a base for making San Francisco home. Lilac Alley is a two-block
stretch in the Mission District containing an array of murals that
showcase the talent of local artists. Whether it's something silly, iconic,
political or cultural the alley is a feast for your eyes and can be used as
the perfect spot for a very likeable selfie.
Through our Adopt a Street and Graffiti Watch programs community members can partner with Public Works to
make sure the dynamic alley is in its best shape for neighbors and visitors.
and that the murals maintain their vibrancy and aren't blighted by graffiti vandals.
Growing up here in San Francisco gave me the opportunity to explore many
cool and unusual spots that only San Francisco has to offer.
One of my favorite spots is the Palace of Fine Arts
in the Marina District. This architectural jewel was constructed in
1915 as part of the Panama Pacific International Exposition.
One of the showpiece structures was the Palace of Fine Arts
designed by architect Bernard R. Maybach who was inspired by Roman ruins.
After the exposition, most of the buildings were torn down but San Franciscans loved
the magical palace so much they decided to keep it. Today, people come from all
over the world to visit this magnificent attraction -- the ornate rotunda and serene
pond make it the ideal location to host weddings and events. I personally enjoy
walking around the palace and taking in its inherent beauty and tranquility.
Public Works led a multi-phase improvement project completed in 2009
that included seismic upgrades restoration, of walkways and other
upgrades to preserve the history and splendor of the Palace of Fine Arts.
If you haven't already, come check it out!
The Esmeralda Slide has been a popular spot for generations of San Franciscans.
The park opened in 1979 and was
developed by local artists, neighborhood activists and Public Works employees.
You can find the park tucked away on Esmeralda Avenue in Bernal Heights.
The park is cared for by a group of Street Park volunteers.
What makes this place so special? Side-by-side, 40-foot slides that can
bring a smile to both children and adults.
As one of those kids who was
lucky enough to have grown up in San Francisco, it's been a very special place
to me for a long time. I'm sure once you ride the slides you'll know why.
It's important to remember that these parks are maintained by neighbors.
They're gems of San Francisco and we want them to keep shining
so pack it in, pack it out and do your part to clean up.
We hope you enjoyed exploring the city with us.
