Arendering of Van Ness Avenue at California looking south after construction of
the Van Ness Improvement Project is completed.

Safety observations and traffic adjustments are underway.

The roadway is being narrowed from three to two traffic lanes in each direction
along the Van Ness Avenue roadway for construction in the median. The lane
closures will start on Van Ness southbound at Broadway and northbound
at McAllister Street. As work progresses north and south, the lane closures
will expand until the roadway is reduced to two lanes in each direction between
Lombard and Mission streets.

Those who travel in and through the area are advised to take alternate
routes and plan for delays.

NIGHT NOISE NOTICE: Neighbors should anticipate
construction noise during the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. December 15
through December 30. Due to San Francisco's
construction holiday moratorium, no construction work is allowed on any
"business block" (defined as 50 percent or more fronting addresses on
a block devoted to business) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00
p.m. without the consent of the businesses on that block. While project
staff is seeking permission from neighboring businesses to work
during business hours, some project work will still need to be completed during
nighttime hours. Neighbors on impacted blocks will be notified in
advance.
