Progress: July 2020
Dear Neighbors,
We hope that you and your loved ones are well. The health and safety of our construction teams and the community are the highest priority for the Pier 70 project. As COVID-19 developments evolve and construction continues on site, we remain vigilant and compliant with the directives from the City of San Francisco and State of California Public Health Orders. At Pier 70, the project’s general contractor has put rigorous health and safety measures in place to limit exposure between workers, maintain social distancing, and evaluate worker health, in alignment with the City of San Francisco Public Health Department, CDC and other guidelines. With these workforce safety measures in place, construction work progresses within and adjacent to the Pier 70 waterfront site, with highlights for July listed here.
Streets, Parks and Infrastructure
- Construction of a new street network and infrastructure, which includes installation of curb, street base and utilities along Maryland, Louisiana, 21st and 22nd streets.
