Committee forwards SB1-funded road maintenance list to full Board

The Land Use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 21 voted unanimously to forward a list of road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, funded by the FY2021–22 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account under California Senate Bill 1, to the full Board for consideration on June 29.

Chair Supervisor Mirna Melgar opened the special remote meeting and members indicated they did not need a further presentation before voting. Supervisor Aaron Peskin thanked Public Works and staff for responsive follow‑up materials and praised the project status website that allows residents to check completed and upcoming paving work.

Jeremy Spitz of the Department of Public Works told the committee staff are committed to giving as much public notice as is feasible, while noting practical constraints: survey work, utility conflicts and the department's need to confirm whether a project will proceed before committing final dates. Spitz said the department is developing internal regulations and coordinating mapping and survey efforts to improve notice practices.

A concern raised by committee members and the public was providing advance notice where shared objects or street fixtures must be temporarily removed for paving. Members urged Public Works to provide early survey‑stage alerts when possible, and to follow up with firm timing once utilities and other conflicts are resolved.

Supervisor Peskin made the motion to forward the resolution as a committee report; the clerk called the roll and Supervisors Peskin, Preston and Melgar each voted "aye." The motion passed 3–0.

The committee's recommendation will be placed on the Board of Supervisors agenda on June 29. The committee record and the department website are cited as the primary sources for project status and timing.
