Sidewalks Sinking Fast In SF's Mission Bay Neighborhood

The sidewalks are sinking fast in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood. Susie Steimle tells us why fixing them is actually making it worse.

    Sidewalk doesn't even need to be fixed, just some paint, and will look like a simple step. The sinking concrete can disconnect pipes and electrical lines, now that can get really expensive to fix.

    Excellent point indeed. My thought is that these sinking sidewalks are a ticking time bomb with respect to the ADA. How long will it be until the ADA covered file complaints that the situation is tantamount to access denial. I'm not faulting them for making such an assertion at all. I just wonder when it will happen and how it impacts the situation described in this post.

Its to offset the cost of road repair for the taxpayer and promotes stewardship of the community.

    How about installing the "rubberized" sidewalk that they used in Solvang? It was used there because it was lighter in weight and was not as thick as regular concrete. That allowed the the tourist town to save some historic trees, whose roots were raising up the previous pavement which went down much further into the soil. A lighter sidewalk might be able to "float" on the existing soil and not compact it.

    This situation in SF does not have a "fix" that building owners can address. There is underground water movement deep beneath the entire area which is creating voids which in turn causes the ground to sink. The buildings are less affected because they were built on pilings which were driven into bedrock which is stable. Sinking streets and sidewalks are merely symptoms of poor city planning.

    After the 1906 earthquake, destroyed buildings were carted off and dumped into the marsh in Mission Bay. Back in the’50s when Willie Brown was mayor, homes near the area started sinking. Brown had the City build up the sidewalks. Now you can walk along many streets, look down to where the sidewalks meet the houses and see where the first floors of these Victorians are so far below that you can see that residents must enter at the second floors. The City has ignored this problem for decades. When Brown returned as Mayor, he allowed developers to build on land everyone knew was sinking. Everyone, that is, except the techies willing to live in SF at any price. They helped ruin the City, so I have no sympathy.

    Any engineer that says the buildings are fine needs to be fired. Those buildings are not monoliths, they don't stand there and are self-sufficient without power, sewer, and much more going throughout their foundations. If there are cracks around the base of the building where the sidewalks should be that's an extra entry where water could erode the ground around it. They don't want to fix it because that would take pulling everything up, restructuring the ground itself, and then rebuilding like back in 1906. After the earthquake and subsequent fire, the city should have never been rebuild on that unstable land.
