A Look Ahead: Transbay Demolition and Construction Activities




BOMA San Francisco Members:

Weekday Work: Weekday work between Monday, October 18, 2010, and Friday, October 22, 2010, will focus on the continued demolition of the East Terminal roof and upper walls and shift to the demolition of the Main Terminal roof and upper walls adjacent to Natoma Street.  The contractor will be employing double shifts and will be working 6 AM to 11 PM.  On Thursday, October 21, 2010 and Friday, October 22, 2010, two lanes will be closed on the east side of Beale Street, between Howard and Mission Streets, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM to complete work associated with the column supports of the old ramps.

Street and Sidewalk Closure: This weekend, Fremont Street, between Howard and Mission Streets will be closed due to demolition of the Terminal roof and upper walls at the Fremont over crossing. On Wednesday, October 21, 2010 and Thursday, October 22, 2010, two lanes will be closed on the east side of Beale Street, between Howard and Mission Streets, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

What to Expect Next Weekend (10/22 – 10/25): The contractor will continue the demolition of the Fremont Street over crossing which will require the weekend closure of Fremont Street, between Mission and Howard Streets.

Please Note: beginning Saturday, October 23, 2010, Natoma Street, between First and Fremont Streets, will be reduced to one single west bound lane. The contractor will work closely with neighboring tenants to accommodate deliveries.

Weekend work may continue to be conducted 24-hours a day with a moratorium on jack hammering and other excessive noise producing activities between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

Community Meetings: Please join us for our upcoming community meetings this week on Wednesday, October 20, 2010. The first community meeting will be held from 12:00 noon until 1:00 PM. The second community meeting will be held from 6:00 PM until 7:00 PM. Both meetings will feature the same content and will be held at the Transbay Joint Powers Authority's (TJPA) offices located at 201 Mission Street, Suite 2100.

NOTICE: The demolition of the Terminal has begun and, in order to safely bring down the facility, the demolition contractor will be working, at a minimum, double shifts.  It is highly likely that weekend and weekday 24-hour work will need to occur between October 18th and November 8th.  The TJPA has instructed its demolition contractors to make every effort to minimize the impact to the community and to progress through this phase of work as quickly as possible.  However, due to the nature of this portion of demolition, safety will require 24-hour work to be conducted regularly over the 21-day span. Although it is the TJPA’s intention to maintain the moratorium, safety may require limited lifting of the noise restriction.
