Streetscape:
Ocean Avenue
The beauty and vitality of Ocean Avenue is growing, with the recent addition of improvements to two vacant Public
Works-owned parcels at the crossroads of Phelan, Geneva and Ocean avenues. The project includes sculptural
landscape boulders, a ribbon of repurposed tree logs to provide great seating opportunities, new landscaping with a
lovely palette of drought-tolerant plants, rock and wood mulch and a new mural by 1AM SF. The work also included
clearing overgrown weeds, pruning dense trees and slope stabilization. The Ocean Avenue Association was the
driving force behind the upgrades, securing grants to pay for the improvements. Our landscape architecture team
created a schedule and work plan, developed cost estimates for materials and labor, prepared technical construction
drawings for the new features and provided assistance throughout the design and construction process. Our
operations team helped install the new features. Other collaborators on the project were the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission, Arborist Now, The Urban Farmer Store and Catmex.
