Crew cleaned up most of the debris/concrete stuff. Moving to put beams in the ground and push more sand around.

It's amazing to watch these guys work because some of their processes seem rather inefficient.

Do Muni bus lines count as Muni stations though? It would be great to see midrises line Irving/Judah and Taraval, creating mini "downtowns" in these nodes, but I think Geary has the most potential for being built up first.

The question is, is the current public transportation infrastructure in place equipped to handle increased density in these areas? Can 38 Geary handle increased demand?

Recall that Geary BRT is still in the works: http://www.sfcta.org/sites/default/f...eet_050517.pdf

Thanks for the updates!

They're installing a cutter soil mix wall which once completed allows for a water tight excavation for the basement. So that's why there is lots of wet cement on the ground around the where they are working and why is takes a while to install 1 beam (because they need to create a panel by mixing the soil with cement before the beam can be placed)

Was driving down 6th Street the other day and saw that the former City Life church building at 363 6th was being demo’d. Last I remember hearing that project was entitled but up for sale. Anyone have updates?

Am I the only one who also for the most part likes the scale of Geary's commercial buildings as they stand especially as you move further west? I mean some sites are ready for redevelopment especially closer to "busier" stations but for the most part we could potentially lose a lof of great vernacular architecture.

You can have that scale for now west of Park-Presidio but east of there transit-rich Geary is among SFs most logical places to densify (along with 3rd St).

I can't wait for the first night-time shot of the fully activated laser light show.

It will be 11,000 subtle LEDs, not lasers.

LEDs, yes--my mistake. Subtle . . . we'll see which is what I am looking forward to doing.

Conservatory of Music Project Positioning for Approvals next Month
January 5, 2018
200-214 Van Ness site

The refined designs for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s proposed twelve-story building to rise at 200 Van Ness Avenue, between Hayes Street and Dr. Tom Waddell Place, will be presented to San Francisco’s Planning Commission next week with the project positioning for approvals in February.

As designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates, the project plans now include 113 units of group housing outfitted with 420 beds for students of the Conservatory, three apartments for Conservatory faculty, . . . 27 apartments to replace those which would be razed in order to make way for the development . . . a ground floor restaurant, recital hall and student center, (and) a double-height performance hall on its top floor, with floor to ceiling windows framing views of City Hall and Davies Symphony Hall across the street.

the current height limit for the site will still need to be increased from 96 feet to 120 feet in order for the project to proceed, an up-zoning which the Planning Department supports.

The improvement of Van Ness near City Hall continues.
