More than 1,650 feet of Desal Link pipeline has been installed on the first three blocks of Garden Street between Mission and Valerio Streets.
Initially, crews were encountering delays due to large boulders and a significant amount of historic trolley tracks under the street. Having dealt with those issues, construction is moving down Garden Street toward Alameda Park.
Local roads will remain accessible to residents but will be closed in 3 block sections during active construction.

It is extremely common to run into unknown underground structures and lines when doing construction in one of the oldest areas of the city, in any city! I find it a bit comical that you think any city 1) creates, and 2) maintains perfect records over more than a hundred years 🙂 GIS and the computer age has changed this drastically, but if you don’t also have perfect as-built plans, you are still never guaranteed that the construction crew actually built to spec in exact locations. What’s stopping you from applying?

The streetcars shut down in 1929. How exactly would anyone in today’s city government know where they were, genius?
