Improving Access & Safety with the "Pave Plus" Project

We’re making it easier and safer to get around the Presidio on foot, bike, wheels, and public transit through the Pave Plus project. From late summer 2024 through spring 2025, we’re:

  • Repaving roads and public parking areas
  • Adding bikeways and restriping and adding safety features for bicyclists
  • Improving crosswalks and striping
  • Rebuilding sidewalks and curb ramps to improve access for all, including people using wheelchairs and strollers
  • Replacing guardrails
  • Improving some bus and shuttle stops
  • Improving signage

The goal is to create a great experience for everyone who is strolling and rolling, and to help us all share the roads more easily. This work is made possible thanks to a grant from the Federal Highway Administration. It’s part of Presidio Forward, through which we’re completing long planned and urgently needed improvements to the park’s infrastructure, open spaces, and historic buildings.

By the Numbers
  • 1 mile of new bikeways added
  • 3 bus stops improved
  • 4 miles of roads paved
  • 9 parking lots paved
  • 45 sidewalk curb ramps added
  • 55% of guardrails upgraded
  • 1,000 feet of sidewalk added/improved
