New Benches at Sutro Reservoir Thanks to AND

New benches were installed today near the perimeter walking path at Sutro Reservoir, located off of Clarendon near Olympia.

The new benches were created by Asian Neighborhood Design's (AND) youth employment program.

We hope neighbors enjoy them!

Repaving of Rockdale and Agua Way

The City will repave Rockdale Drive from Isola to La Bica and Agua Way from Teresita to Chaves in the near future. The San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) will do the paving work and have tentatively scheduled to repave Rockdale in December or early 2010 and Agua Way in Spring 2010.

Why the Delay? The reason for the delay is due to the requirement to contact other utility agencies and give them a chance to schedule work on Rockdale and Agua BEFORE we repave. We do not allow utilities to dig up the recently repaved street for a period of time, so we give them some time before to check their maintenance schedules and give them enough time to complete work if necessary.

Watch this blog for updates on the repaving plans.

Mt Davidson Pump Station Nearing Completion!

The new Mt Davidson Pump Station, located on Agua Way at La Bica, is nearing completion! The terracotta roof is finished and the new stylish doors were recently installed.

New landscaping has also been installed on the La Bica Path. We have asked the contractor to keep the path closed off until the new plants and shrubs grow and fill-in the path.

The heavy equipment and storage containers on Agua Way should be removed by late November.

Repairs to the sidewalks on Agua Way should be complete in the next few weeks. Repaving of Agua Way will take place in Spring 2010.

Thank you to neighbors for your patience and support during this important construction project. The new pump station will help ensure water delivery to thousands of San Franciscans after the next big earthquake.
