We have weathered the storm at the onset of the new year. Although extreme weather conditions delayed some construction activities on the L Taraval Improvement Project, adjustments have been made and crews are back on schedule. In the coming weeks, work continues on water and sewer lines, as well as on the overhead contact system (OCS) that powers the trains. OCS work is now focused on foundation work to prepare for the installation of new poles. Construction teams will be excavating and jackhammering pavement, which may cause vibrations. Materials are also being temporarily staged nearby. Dust control and housekeeping measures are in place at active construction and staging locations.

The inbound bus stop at Taraval and 15th has been relocated across the intersection until fall 2024.

General construction hours are Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Construction schedules are subject to change. “No Parking” signs will be posted in construction and staging areas, and intersections may be closed to through traffic on Taraval Street.

Multiple agencies are performing infrastructure work in the area. This includes work by Public Works on 19th Avenue, Public Utilities Commission at Vicente and Wawona streets and PG&E along Taraval Street.
