Who does the planning here or is some crazy random pattern? Take 14th Ave between Anza/Balboa. There was little or nothing wrong on that block (never cut into for major work in years - or minor for that matter), yet it got paved over in a couple of days. Yes, nice, but 14th between Balboa/Cabrillo is like some of the worst parts of Golden Gate Park and hasn’t been touched in more than twenty years. I know there’s some plan, but from my POV it looks too random and is missing the major infrastructure points and just when it looks like the crews are on track they’re gone or do some random little street with little or no problems. More? ok. Martin Luther King Drive in GGP. Great job on JFK - except for that nice little scar of a cut at 5th Avenue where coordination between DWP and Street was amiss and the new road got sliced for a new sewer project after the road was paved after more than twenty plus years. MLK drive is a patchwork chuck hole pit especially after 19th Ave heading west. Then there’s the 5th Ave sewer pjt: Major cuts into the street north of Clement and what happens? They fill in the ten foot middle of the street, but leave the aged rest of it in place. If there is major work to be done why can’t the crew do the whole street instead of just filling the gap? They won’t come back this way for years and years. If a major job needs to be done on a City street then it should be mandatory to refinish the whole block(s) and not leave a lumpy, sinking patchwork behind. Another one: Great job on Union Street, but why when Marina Blvd., Bush Street (don’t skip it just because of the name) and other major stretches get neglected year after year. I’m seeing too many blocks getting repaved in the Richmond lately that don’t really need it - why Emerson at Geary? As you can tell I get around the City a lot and have noted/complained about this before and although there are some paving winners here (Ocean Beach was way overdue) it seems there’s some odd management in the way it works. And, I worry about key places where the Metro operates in key areas along the Judah line and Church where pedestrians and cyclists are. The infrastructure of an ever increasingly mobile City is too important to let slip.
