"When you enter San Francisco, you should see safe, clean streets. Too often, our freeway on and off ramps have fallen short. Thanks to a new agreement with Caltrans, the City now has the authority to clean state highway sections and clear encampments.

"The agreement singles out eight so-called hot spots for encampments, and those 101 overpasses at Cesar Chavez Street and 13th Street in SoMa that we mentioned are among them. There are four other 101 overpass hot spots identified for clearing, as well as a couple around or under I-80. The locations are detailed at the 1:17 mark of the KGO video above."
Mayor Daniel Lurie secured an agreement with Caltrans granting San Francisco authority to clean and clear encampments on state highway sections beneath overpasses and along ramps. The agreement targets eight high-priority hotspots, including Route 101 overpasses at Cesar Chavez Street and 13th Street in SoMa, additional 101 overpass locations, and a couple of sites around or under I-80. Areas under overpasses and beside ramps are Caltrans property, which previously limited city clearing. The arrangement was signed midweek and city crews began clearing soon after, following public-notification procedures prior to removals.
