Eye level with Alcatraz and within earshot from the dinging bells of a Powell-Hyde cable car, Francisco Park may have just become the hottest new park in San Francisco.

"The Foster City levee improvement project to protect homes and infrastructure from rising sea levels is proceeding on schedule and making good progress, with Bowditch Middle School student dropoff plans facing changes due to construction.

City Manager Peter Pirnejad said construction teams had made significant progress in the last two months, and the city was happy with the project timeline..."

The San Francisco International Airport

 announced that its on-airport hotel, the Grand Hyatt at SFO, has been honored nationally for its collaboration construction approach. In their 2020 Awards, the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) recognized the Grand Hyatt at SFO with a National Award of Excellence in the “Commercial/Office” category. 

San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Commission approved design plans to transform the long-abandoned Francisco Reservoir on Russian Hill into a new park by a 6-1 vote Thursday.

YORBA LINDA – A year in the making, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum has been reborn.

And so too, perhaps, has its legacy: from staid and stodgy to hip and incisive. The presidential library is, its patrons and officials hope, ready to engage and inform future generations of visitors about one of the most complex leaders in American history.

The centerpiece of a new San Francisco neighborhood is now one step closer to completion.

Only ABC7 News was there when crews hit a major milestone. High above Beale and Mission streets in San Francisco, a crane lifted a final beam into place.

Construction is scheduled to begin today on a new Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library and Museum at the current site in Yorba Linda, coinciding with the 103rd anniversary of his birth.

​

Christopher Cox, a grandson of Nixon, and the 37th president’s 85-year- brother Edward were scheduled to begin the construction this morning.

After being fenced off for 80 years, the site of the former Francisco Reservoir on San Francisco's Russian Hill is now open to the public as the city's newest park. Francisco Park, which is on Bay Street between Larkin and Hyde, sits upon the original site of the Francisco Reservoir, the city's first reservoir. Considering its history, it was only fitting that city leaders celebrated the park's opening on Wednesday with a watering ceremony.

San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is now testing Muni trains in the yet-to-be completed Central Subway Project. MCK has provided over a dozen roles for the project during its duration.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KGO) --

Sleeping at the airport is no fun, but soon travelers who need to spend the night at SFO can do so in a luxury hotel.

A ceremonial groundbreaking was held for a new 351-room Grand Hyatt hotel located directly at the airport.

The agency in charge of San Francisco’s $4.5 billion Transbay Transit Center project is expected in February to seek a private operator to manage the multimodal terminal's massive retail space, more than a year later than expected.

The Transbay Joint Powers Authority board plans to issue the RFP for a retail manager after its Feb. 11 meeting — more than a year after it first announced details about the retail portion of the project.

First the bulldozers came for the playground, then the north and south sides of Dolores Park. Chain-link fences choked the lawn, moving with each phase of construction.

​

But they’re finally coming down for good. Dolores Park, one of San Francisco’s most popular destinations, will fully reopen Thursday after a nearly two-year, $20.5 million renovation.

Local artist Laurie Wigham’s rippling watercolors and sketches of construction sites all over San Francisco, many now on display at Spark Arts in the Castro through April 28 in an exhibition titled The Changing City, certainly do lend a dreamy quality to the normally rough-hewn acts of digging, riveting, and welding new city landmarks.

Enter stage left - India Basin Park, which will transform lot in SF's  Bayview area into a centerpiece of a chain of parks and easements linking 1.7 miles of southeastern shoreline and 64 acres of open space. The project has been in the planning stages for at least 10 years and is budgeted at $140 million, the largest for a city park project, ever. MCK has been providing estimating services on the project.

"The San Francisco International Airport

It is a sunny day atop Russian Hill. From this quiet perch, the city spills in colorful patterns to the waterfront, where piers stretch out fingerlike toward Alcatraz and the misty hills beyond. It’s worth noting, says Launce Gamble, that there tend to be at least a few more sunny days in Russian Hill than some other places in the city..."

Mention of the San Andreas Fault can send a trickle of dread down the spines of many Californians. Running hundreds of miles across California, this fault looms as an increasingly present threat of a massive earthquake. Alternatively, its presence is a reminder to proactively face such a disaster. Upgrades like the Peninsula Pipelines Seismic Upgrade Project (PPSU) strengthen the northern San Francisco Peninsula’s earthquake readiness.

The unused Francisco Reservoir site in Russian Hill is a 4.2-acre site that has been left neglected for the past 70 years. Now, the City of San Francisco has given the community a unique opportunity to transform this site into a brand new public park overlooking some of the most famous scenery in the world. We invite you to become a part of this amazing project.

The $15 million renovation of the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum’s galleries will be ready for the public to see on Oct. 14, it was announced over the weekend at a ceremony celebrating what would have been the former president’s 103rd birthday.

President Richard Nixon’s grandson, Christopher Nixon Cox, and his brother, Edward Nixon, attended the event to kick off construction of the new galleries and announce the opening.

When it’s finished, the Transbay Terminal will be a hub for 11 public transit systems – from Muni to AC Transit to California High Speed Rail – connecting people from all around the state. It’s being touted as the future “Grand Central of the West”. But right now, it’s a big hole in the ground – one that people have to travel around, rather than through.

Construction began in 2010. And for those who pass by it everyday, it can start to seem like just another part of the messy backdrop of urban life. I wanted to find out what’s going on behind all of that safety fencing and equipment, so I headed to the site to find five surprising facts about it.
