The most disruptive work is nearly complete. Work to replace sewer, water, rail lines, streetbase and repaving the entire corridor has been completed. Construction continues with installing boarding islands with accessible curb ramps, handrails and pavers and landscaping. Curve track replacement work at 46th Avenue is expected to be completed June 7, 2024. Remaining work includes testing trains along the new trackway, and installing boarding islands, landscaping, trees and artwork.
The past three years, we cleaned the entire length of Mission Street from the border of Daly City to the Embarcadero. This year, we’re switching it up with our Breakers to Bay All Day Cleanup where we’ll start at Ocean Beach and end at the Ferry Building, cleaning the neighborhoods along Balboa St, Turk St, and Market St.
Construction began on the L-Taraval streetcar line in 2019, a collaboration with the SFMTA, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and Department of Public Works.

As you can imagine, I was less than delighted to see the NTK crew once again on lower Taraval, this time between 45th and 46th, pulling up and replacing tracks (some of which had already been replaced). According to the MTA website, this is the result of a “Requested Action” for additional $4.7 MILLION to “(e)xpand scope of work to include special track work on 46th Avenue and Taraval” which includes “replace(ing) curve, cross-over, and straight rail.”

The San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission unanimously passed a $5 reservation fee at select tennis and pickleball locations to streamline court management.
