The Brotherhood-Alemany Quick-Build project will begin construction in November, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency announced.
Work crews will restripe the roadway and then install concrete islands, a speed hump and new signs, including a rapid flashing beacon at Alemany Boulevard and Sagamore Street.
Most work is expected to occur on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The upgrades are expected to be complete after a few months.
"Impacts from construction are expected to be minimal overall but will involve temporary lane closures and temporary parking removal on Sagamore Street, Brotherhood Way, Alemany Boulevard and Orizaba Avenue to create space for field crews to safely stage equipment and install improvements away from moving vehicles," according to the SFMTA.
In late 2024, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority approved $550,000 of Transportation Network Company tax funds for the project. SFMTA spokesperson Michael Roccaforte told The Ingleside Light in July 2025 that the project would be completed in 2025 or early 2026.
The SFMTA is working on longer-term improvements, including traffic signals and larger changes to the intersection.

The Brotherhood-Alemany Quick-Build Project is a bid to streamline the complicated intersection where Brotherhood Way, Alemany Boulevard, Sagamore Street and Orizaba Avenue meet for improved safety and navigation for pedestrians, drivers and bicyclists.
The SFMTA's stated goals included making drivers more likely to slow down and/or stop for pedestrians, slowing down speeding drivers, increasing the ease for drivers merging lanes and improving accessibility for bicyclists.
