Scope of Work: The Twin Peaks Promenade Project will transform approximately one-third of a mile of
the eastern alignment of Twin Peaks Boulevard—permanently closed to vehicular traffic—into a linear
park featuring a multi-use recreational trail. Located within an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) that
supports the federally protected Mission Blue Butterfly, the project requires careful protection and
restoration of natural habitat during construction. Work includes removal of a portion of existing asphalt
pavement and installation of stabilized soil trail paving. Most existing concrete barriers and steel
guardrails will be removed. Improvements will include new seating areas with benches, concrete
seatwalls, wood plank benches, and ornamental boulders. Trail edges will be defined with gabion walls,
Sutter walls, and redwood headers, with split-rail fencing installed to protect sensitive habitat areas. The
parking lot will be reconfigured and restriped to include an ADA-accessible parking stall and bicycle
parking at three locations. Service and emergency vehicle access will be provided at both the north and
south ends of the promenade with removable bollards. The project also includes erosion control
measures, habitat restoration through native plantings, and installation of wayfinding, interpretive, and
trail map signage.
The time allowed for completion is 186 consecutive calendar days. The estimated construction cost is
approximately $2,200,000. For more information, contact the Project Manager Keri Ayers by phone:
(415) 885-9252 or email: Keri.Ayers@sfgov.org.
