Highland Bridge project update

January 19, 2016 by Heather World

 

Highland Avenue Bridge – Project update from Grace Moore, DPW, Grace.Moore@sfdpw.org

 

Dear Neighbors

Phase I; traffic railing work is almost completed.

This week you may see crews removing construction debris, restoring parking along Arlington Street and finish installing 4 new street lights. (see details below)

Phase II; security fencing design work is completed. The fence will be installed to enclose the east and west bridge abutments for security. Construction and installation will be completed by the end of March 2016. (see details below) (ClearVu fencing pictured in this press release)

Phase I – traffic rail replacement

Contractors currently are working on electrical/corrective work on the bridge including:

  1. Finish work for new traffic railing
  2. Housekeeping/Demobilization
  3. Installation of bridge street light lighting elements/luminaries
  4. Complete wiring for all new electrical improvements
  5. Electrical improvement service point pull-box
  6. Install added street light pole bases (4); *
  7. Installation of added street lights (4) *

* San Francisco Public Utilities Commission staff will complete service connections at a later date; the four new street lights will not be in service until SFPUC staff completes service connections. Public Works has asked SFPUC to provide a date for that work. All other work in Phase I will be completed by January 18, 2016.

Phase II –security fencing under the bridge

Phase II of the project will include installing fencing to enclose the east and west bridge abutments for security. The design is based, in part, on concerns raised by neighbors about debris buildup under the bridge and easy access to the site. We believe the “ClearVu” security fencing will provide the most attractive and durable safety enhancement to the Highland Avenue Bridge. It will be nearly invisible to drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists on northbound and southbound on San Jose Avenue. The ClearVu high-density security fencing is made of high-tensile mesh with openings too narrow for finger-holds and foot-holds, preventing climbing or cutting with standard tools, bolt-cutters, etc.

The scope of work and final design work will be determined by January 18, 2016. Fencing construction and installation will be completed by March 31, 2016.

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director

Wonder what’s stopping just organizing it separate from that non-profit. It seems like the volunteers largely come from Glen Park.
