Noise and Clean-up on Sanchez

We are attempting to work with the other construction project on Sanchez, 300 block, to do better clean up in the evenings. The school is preparing to paint and there are cyclone fencing and other materials along the street. Our inspector is aware that we have complaints about early morning starts and is trying to remedy the situation. We have informed the contractor that mobilizing for work...is still noisy and should be limited to work hours.

Thank for you joining us

Thank you for joining us for the Neighborhood Coffee last night. We appreciate your valuable input and suggestions. Please invite your neighbors or family to the next coffee on August 20, 8:30 am – 9:30 am or 5:30 to 6:30 pm at Duboce Park Cafe. We look forward to seeing you.

The crews will continue working on water pipelines installation between Market and Duboce next week. They have been instructed to make every effort to minimize noise and disruption.

If you have more questions, please come meet us at the Duboce Triangle meeting this Monday, August 10 between 7 and 9 pm. Thank you!

Latest Construction Update--South of Market

I hope we didn't confuse anyone regarding the Cafe check-in last evening. We were at Duboce Cafe and will be back at H Cafe next week. However, I did chat with a couple of neighbors last evening and this morning. You should receive a mailer tomorrow or Monday. Look for handouts in plastic sleeves around the neighborhood this weekend.

The contractor is targeting September 25 to complete the final paving. If you are travelling up on Noe to 2oth and along 19th between Noe and Sanchez, use caution as we will need to detour traffic at a couple of locations to keep the work going and give neighbors access to their streets.

Water Service Interruptions:

Residents at 19th & Sanchez has been notified that water service will be interrupted during the day on Monday, Aug 10.
Noe & Cumberland will be notified on Monday, Aug 10 for a shutdown on Tuesday morning.
Addresses at 20th & Noe will be notified next week, after the connection at Cumberland is complete, about a day time water interruption later that week or the following.
At 19th & Noe, a night time shut down is still scheduled for Monday August 17 to accommodate the many businesses we will affect on Castro. There will be noise accompanying this work.
Call us with any special needs: 415-554-3297 or 415-350-4929.

We'll also be at the Duboce Triangle meeting this Monday. If there are other gatherings, please keep us in mind. We'll see you at H Cafe between 5:30 and 6:30 pm next Thursday. Yes, we moved up the time to accommodate the cafe staff.

Sanchez from Market to Duboce: 8/3 - 8/21

Crews will be installing both 8” and 24” water pipelines between Henry and Duboce over a three week period.

The purpose of this work is to replace water lines that are 75 to 100 years old and will fail. This is part of the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) that is upgrading our water delivery system in the City and throughout our service area in four Bay Area counties.

The crew will complete the potholing this week. Parking on north and south sides of Duboce will continue to be impacted.

Work hours: 8:00 am—5:00 pm
The crews have been instructed to make every effort to minimize noise and disruption. Construction noise with back-up alarms and excavating equipment can be expected.

The contractor has attempted to get access to the garage on the corner of Market and Sanchez for staging but the owner will not allow it because of other constraints on the property. Thus, the contractor will need to store equipment and pipe along the street during this period.

We appreciate your support and welcome your suggestions. Plan to attend our Project Coffee at Duboce Park Café on August 7 between 8:30 and 9:30 am.

Look for the August update in your mail next week.

Overflow Parking at Everett School

Neighborhood Parking at Everett School has been activated. The project has been allotted 20 spaces available 24 hours, 7 days a week through Friday, August 14. Later next week, we will speak with the School District regarding the parking tenant, City College, to determine future obligations.

Going forward, Maureen Barry, will be your point of contact. She lives on Church Street and will be readily available along with other staff –that she will direct—to handle your questions or concerns until this project is completed. You can reach Maureen at 554-3297 in the office or by CELL at 350-4929. Let us know how it goes.

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.
