ThePresidioParkwayProject(Project)is
a highprofile, worldclass project and
the first transportation P3 in the State.
As the Project is located in a historical
national park in the heart of San
Francisco, Golden Link Partners (GLP)
understands that numerous agencies,
communities and organizations have a
vested interest in the successful
completion of this Project. GLP is
committed

DesignApproach
Within 60 days of NTP 1, GLP will begin early start design activities, such as utility potholing,
survey, and geotechnical investigation. GLP will hold weekly task force meetings to integrate
the design team with the Department, the construction team, and the O&M team. These
