Edgewood Trail Repair Project
Overview
In May 2025, a break on an 8-inch water main near Edgewood Avenue damaged a portion of a hillside near San Francisco Recreation and Parks' Interior Greenbelt Edgewood Trail. As a result of this incident, the Interior Greenbelt Edgewood Trail is closed until further notice for safety reasons. Please obey trail signage.
WARNING! As a reminder, the trail is closed to the public. Do not attempt to enter the area, which is extremely dangerous.
UPDATE: November 2026
After lengthy supply chain delays, our contractor finally obtained and installed a bypass water line along approximately 100 feet of the trail. Once the water line has been disinfected and charged, a brief water shut off to connect the new line will be required. This should be completed by the end of November and shut-off notices will be placed on front doors 24-hours in advance. When the bypass water line is fully functional, our crews will be able to start the slope reconstruction process.

Project Background
The first phase of the repair was completed in October 2025 when our crews prepared the site for rainy season by clearing debris and securing the slope. Over the next 9 months we hired a contractor to design and construct a permanent repair.
A bypass water line along approximately 100 feet of the trail has been installed, and will be disinfected, charged, and connected by late November 2026. This is a necessary precursor to ensuring water to the neighborhood during our upcoming work. The slope reconstruction process includes securing the existing water main, installing a retaining wall, and restoring the trail. Work will take place during winter months, provided weather conditions allow.
While trail users and neighbors cannot visibly see this behind-the-scenes geotechnical and design work, it is crucial that we complete a comprehensive restoration before we re-open the site to the public. We appreciate that this is a lengthy process and that it requires keeping the trail closed until our work is complete. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE WORK AREA.
Be assured that we are focusing resources on this restoration project in order to achieve results that are both timely and permanent.
