Parking around 17th & Sanchez

The 'jack and bore' activities, tunneling under the intersection at 17th and Sanchez, will require open pits on both sides of 17th. Also, traffic regulations, require that the contractor restrict parking 24 hours --3 to 4 spaces on each side of 17th to provide the legally required lane width for traffic. SFPUC is attempting to confirm alternate parking with the school district.

There is no other place for the heavy equipment to be stored. This equipment is too wide for the spaces we have investigated for contractor overflow. Please bear with us as this final work south of Market is accomplished.

Potholing on Sanchez from Market to Duboce

Crew will start potholing on Sanchez from Market Street to Duboce for one week. This is to identify utilities locations for laying out of the new water main alignment. Work hours 8:00 am -5:00 pm. Approximately 25 feet of parking on north and south sides of Duboce will be impacted. Construction noise can be expected.

The crews have been instructed to make every effort to minimize noise and disruption. We apologize for the inconvenience.
