Despite recent heavy opposition, including a court-ordered temporary restraining order, California’s Dept. of Transportation and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority have awarded a public-private partnership contract to their selected bidder for the second phase of the $1-billion Doyle Drive replacement project, known as Presidio Parkway, in San Francisco.
Caltrans announced the agreement on Jan. 3, just hours after an Alameda County Superior Court judge dissolved the restraining order the court granted on Dec. 22 to the state engineers union, Professional Engineers in California Government. But Judge Wynne Carvill says he will announce a request for a preliminary injunction and hearing on the project’s merits at a later date.
