City leaders gathered on Friday afternoon at Mission and Norton streets on a new sidewalk extension, known as a bulb-out, to celebrate the completion of the Mission Street and Geneva Avenue Infrastructure Improvement Project.

The project was a multi-agency project that included the Department of Public Works, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.

Public Works Director Carla Short said dozens of changes were made along the corridor, including improvements to pedestrian safety and sewer main replacement.
