Today, January 8, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will hold a special inaugural board meeting, to swear in the re-elected (me!) and newly elected Supervisors and to choose our new Board President. I am so proud to be returning for our second term and excited for all we will accomplish together.
I would also like to invite you all to stop by our new office today, room 264 at City Hall for a welcome reception following the inaugural meeting at 3:30pm. Come meet our team and celebrate with friends and colleagues. If you can't make it on the today, stop-by the office anytime or email us at chanstaff@sfgov.org to connect.
Geary Boulevard Sewer and Water Improvement Project
On Monday, January 6th, work began on the Geary Boulevard sewer and water improvement project with excavation and sewer main replacement between 24th and 27th Avenues, on the north side.
This project is necessary to upgrade our aging infrastructure, replacing approximately 1.4 miles of sewer lines, 6.7 miles of water lines, and 1.5 miles of fiber optic conduits, but we know there will be impact on the neighborhood as the work is done.
The SF Public Utilities Commission has shared with us that this project will impact Geary between Stanyan Street and 32nd Avenue, but will be split into two segments, Segment A: 12th Avenue - 32nd Avenue and Segment B: Stanyan Street - 12th Avenue.
The 38 Geary bus should not need to be rerouted as they will plan to have two lanes of travel open in both directions for the duration of the project. For more information and details on the schedule visit the project webpage at sfpuc.gov/Geary
