San Francisco Street Sidewalk project update
We will soon reach a milestone
crucial to realizing our vision of creating an
interconnected web of trails, paths and sidewalks in our
neighborhood. According to the City, the contractor
doing the work is expected to complete the sidewalk
connecting East Bay Drive to Quince Street sometime in
early December. The last piece of the project is to
install the retaining wall, the drainage system, and the
sidewalk along the steepest part of the street. As some
of you may know, this project includes a number of
public art elements. The most striking is the water
themed design on the retaining wall.
