Junipero Serra and Holloway Update

As weather permits, construction crews are continuing open trench work to install a water pipeline along Junipero Serra Blvd. at Holloway in San Francisco. Currently, the south-bound lane on the left-hand side of the boulevard is closed to traffic, but well placed markings and traffic signage have kept cars moving smoothly.

Regular work hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We welcome your input on how we can minimize inconvenience and disruption near your home or business. Please contact Iris Martin Lopez at SFPUC Communications at (415) 554-3222 or ilopez@sfwater.org.

Wildflowers Coming This Spring near Palo Alto Ave


This Spring, watch for colorful ,beautiful wildflowers on the Water Dept property near the intersection of Palo Alto Ave and Marview in the Twin Peaks area.




The area was recently "hydroseeded" as part of a restoration project requested by neighbors after the completion of the Palo Alto Pump Station. Hydroseeding often looks like paint at first - it is usually bright green or blue - and the concentrated seed mix germinates and blooms with rain or moisture.




We would love to see some photos from neighbors posted on this blog!

Construction Update on Junipero Serra and Holloway Avenue in San Francisco

In anticipation of more rain this Friday, the construction crew at Junipero Serra and Holloway Avenue will finish securing and plating the trench today and will re-open the westbound lane of Holloway Avenue to traffic.

The team will resume work on the trench beginning Tuesday, February 16th, and for safety reasons must close the western-most (southbound) lane of Junipero Serra Blvd. until the work is completed. The SFPUC contractor will work extended hours on Tuesday and Wednesday in order to minimize the number of evenings that drivers will be inconvenienced along Junipero Serra.

We will post frequent updates to keep neighbors and commuters informed throughout the project. Please subscribe to this blog or sign up to follow us on twitter at www.twitter/SAPL3 for regular construction updates in your neighborhood.

If you have any comments or questions about the project, please contact Iris Martin Lopez at SFPUC Communications at (415) 554-3222.

Emergency Repairs at Junipero Serra and Holloway

A construction crew will be working through the night to reinforce the street at the intersection of Junipero Serra Boulevard and Holloway Avenue. To avoid a potential safety hazard for both motorists and pedestrians, crews will work on this area until it is safely repaired.

Additional police will be assigned to direct traffic at the intersection, and the westbound lane of Holloway Avenue has been closed to motorists until further notice. The SFPUC contractor is completing a drinking water pipeline installation and backfilling the trench at this location.
