As part of the Geary Rapid Project, work to replace aging water linen coordination with San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, continues. Surface transportation improvements, including upgraded traffic signals and streetlights, sidewalk extensions at bus stops and intersection corners, improved median refuges and roadway repaving, are also underway and are being managed by San Francisco Public Works.
Geary Rapid Project construction is currently scheduled to continue during the shelter in place order, with crews observing social distancing requirements and a safe working environment. The following two-week construction forecast is subject to change due to weather delays or unexpected field conditions.
Steiner Street – Van Ness Avenue
Mondays through Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.:

Final curb-to-curb asphalt roadway repaving is planned on Wednesday, April 21 (grinding) and Thursday, April 22 (paving) on Geary Boulevard from Webster Street to Laguna Street. There may be traffic delays while lanes are closed during work.
-
During paving in front of driveways, there will be a four-hour period with restricted vehicle access as the hot asphalt cools down. Affected properties will be notified in advance.
-
Similarly, the outbound 38 Geary bus stop at Webster will be temporarily relocated across the street briefly as the pavement cools. Look for “Board Here” signs.

Curb ramp and sidewalk extension work is planned for the weeks of April 19 and April 26 on Geary Boulevard at the intersections of Laguna Street and Gough Street.
