Phase One of Islais Creek Motor Coach Facility Project to Reach Substantial Completion
Dear Neighbor/Business Merchant/Muni Customer:
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which oversees transportation in the city, is pleased to announce that after 24 months of construction, Phase One of the Islais Creek Motor Coach Facility Project will reach substantial completion on March 7, 2013. As we reach this important milestone, the SFMTA would like to express its thanks for your patience and support as we work to improve your Muni system.
After March 7, the contractor will spend approximately three months conducting finishing work and completing the certification process required before the facility can become operational.
Phase One achievements include:
- Construction of a bus storage facility with parking for up to 171 of the SFMTA’s motor coaches and 11 maintenance vehicles
- Construction of an annex building
- Construction of a fuel/wash building with three bays for fueling and washing vehicles (click small images for larger images)
   
- Building of vehicle servicing stations, a tire shop and the fare collection system
- Restoration of the adjacent wetlands and construction of a walkway along the shoreline (click small image for larger image)
- Installation of an art structure that resembles the Liberty Ship
- Installation of security fencing around building perimeter
Phase Two of the project, construction of a 64,000 square-foot operations and maintenance facility, is expected to break ground in spring 2014.
Development of the Islais Creek property will provide Muni vehicles convenient access to major traffic arteries with its proximity to 3rd Street, Highway 101 and Interstate 280. This will allow Muni vehicles to get to and from designated service routes efficiently and without having to use neighborhood streets. It will ultimately allow for an expanded hybrid motor coach fleet that will better serve the residents of San Francisco in both an economical and environmentally-friendly way.
Project Overview:
The SFMTA is constructing a new Muni motor coach facility on City-owned land at 1301 Cesar Chavez Street. The new facility will include parking, fueling, maintenance and vehicle washing facilities.
As part of the project, the SFMTA will create an edge treatment on the Islais Creek shoreline that allows for public access and reflects the historical, industrial and port uses along the San Francisco Bay. The area of public access will include amenities such as public art, a small pedestrian bridge and a walkway that circles the new facility. The edge treatment will also foster local wetlands to allow colonization by native plant and animal life. The work will be done in cooperation with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, San Francisco Arts Commission and Friends of Islais Creek.

SFMTA Islais Creek Motor Coach Facility
Under Construction
Starting in mid March 2012, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which operates Muni, began construction of a new hybrid motor coach maintenance facility on the north shore of Islais Creek. The multi-year project will be split into two phases. Phase One is expected to be completed in April 2013. Phase Two of the project is currently in design.
The new motor coach facility is located at 1301 Cesar Chavez Street, occupying 8.4 acres of City-owned land.
Phase One of the construction will include a bus yard with parking for 165 of the Agency’s
40-foot hybrid coaches and 19 maintenance vehicles, a fuel/wash building with three bays for fuel, vehicle lube, tire shop and fare collection system. The facility will also have an annex building with offices and system rooms, plus an emergency generator and unit substation.
As part of the project, the SFMTA will create an edge treatment on Islais Creek that reflects the historical industrial and port uses along the Bay. This work will be carried out in cooperation with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), San Francisco Arts Commission and Friends of Islais Creek.
Thank you for your support and patience as we improve your Muni system.
