The San Francisco Board of Directors approved the Schlage Lock project in July 2014. This 20-hectare lot on the Bayshore, north of the San Francisco/San Mateo County line, is being developed by Universal Paragon Corporation (UPC) and Visitacion Development LLC into a transit project of 1,679 medium-income units and condominiums, three parks and signs.

Market Street will eventually have more than 30 new protective roofs at BART/MUNI entrances. The first phase of the powell and Civic Center station entrance projects is expected to be completed this summer, with construction beginning in the fall of 2016 and the end of 2017. Improvements to the entrances to The Embarcadero and Montgomery Station would begin in about a year, once funding is secured.

The agreement will allow employees to obtain a salary increase that will follow the projected inflation rates each year until 2021 (annual increases – 2.5%, 2.5%, 2.75% and 2.75%).
