The Streets the Development Agreement Rebuilds
The Development Agreement for SF Gateway commits street improvements on five streets around the site: Toland Street, Kirkwood Avenue, McKinnon Avenue, Rankin Street and Selby Street. The sponsor counts more than eight full blocks of new streets, subgrade infrastructure included.
The Infrastructure Plan describes the present condition as substandard. With the exception of the west side of Toland Street, the rights-of-way around the site carry no sidewalks, street trees, planters or street furnishings.
The build places sidewalks on both sides of all five streets. Toland, Rankin and Selby get 10-foot sidewalks. Kirkwood and McKinnon get 12-foot sidewalks. Curb ramps and crosswalks go in at every intersection, with new street lighting, signage and pavement markings.
Two Streets Flip Direction
Kirkwood Avenue between Toland and Rankin becomes one-way eastbound. The change brings about 122 reverse-angle parking stalls at 45 degrees on both sides and two 100-foot commercial loading zones on the south side.
McKinnon Avenue between Toland and Selby becomes one-way eastbound. That stretch carries about 24 reverse-angle stalls on both sides and one commercial loading zone mid-block on the north side.
Toland Street and Rankin Street keep two-way traffic with one lane in each direction. Toland carries four parallel stalls on the east side and a 40-foot passenger loading zone. Rankin carries five parallel stalls on the west side and a 40-foot passenger loading zone.
The direction changes and the angled parking need legislation from the SFMTA. A coach loop written on the current pattern runs on an approval the agency has not granted.
Kirkwood Ends 120 Feet Short of Toland Today
The west end of Kirkwood Avenue stops about 120 feet short of Toland Street. A carport, a parking lot and associated structures block the connection.
The plan builds a new intersection at Toland and Kirkwood. That work depends on the City or the SF Market removing the improvements inside the future Kirkwood right-of-way.
Right-of-Way Widths
Kirkwood and McKinnon carry 80-foot rights-of-way. Toland, Rankin and Selby carry 64 feet. Selby runs under the elevated Interstate 280, and its sidewalks widen to 24 feet around the freeway columns.
New curb ramps and crosswalks go in at every intersection, and the pavement design is under review for the district's truck share.
The Market Is the Fixed Stop
The SF Market sits at 2095 Jerrold Avenue. The developer pays $1,000,000 into the market's reinvestment and expansion plan in two installments of $500,000, and $2,000,000 to Public Works as the first of two payments for Market Zone streetscape and infrastructure.
From 749 Toland Street the market sits 561 feet away in a straight line and 638 feet by the pedestrian route. Both figures come from OpenStreetMap points and an OSRM walking route read on 17 October 2026.
Build the market in as an address stop. The streets between it and the site are the ones under construction.
Third Street Sits a Few Blocks Away
The plan places the Third Street commercial corridor a few blocks from the site. No transit runs on the project frontage.
The project's planning submission puts Muni routes 23, 24 and 8AX within a quarter mile of the site.
A group that stages on Third Street walks in over streets under rebuild.
Which Corridors Move
Four names carry the change: Kirkwood, McKinnon, Rankin and Selby. Sidewalk width, traffic direction, parking layout and loading zones all change on those four. Toland keeps its direction and gains the sidewalks it lacks.
Write the coach drop-off against both patterns. The current one holds until the SFMTA legislation passes and the contractor reaches that block.
The Build Window
Construction runs about 31 months in total. Each building takes about 27 months, and Building B starts about four months after Building A.
No demolition permit sits on either parcel. The Department of Building Inspection record carries 25 permits on block 5284A, lot 008 and 27 on block 5287, lot 002. The newest is dated 23 June 2025.
A demolition filing signals that the street work is next. Check the two block and lot pairs before you print the itinerary.
