You may have heard about our fun tour with Mayor Edwin M. Lee through the Central Subway tunnel yesterday. We appreciated the opportunity to share the progress with him and Supervisor Julie Christensen.

We enjoyed the brief summary from the morning’s event on ABC 7 news.

You can read our press release here or learn more about the tunnel construction and the rest of the subway project over on our sister blog, The Central Subway Blog.
