PRESIDIO PARKWAY
CONSTRUCTION
The San Francisco County
Transportation Authority, the Federal
Highway Administration, and Caltrans
are replacing the highway that runs
through the Presidio to the Golden
Gate Bridge. This structure was
formerly known as Doyle Drive.
Construction of the replacement

roadwaythe new Presidio Parkway
began in 2009 and will be complete in
2016.
The new roadway will be seismically
safe and is designed to fit more
seamlessly into the park setting, with
fewer impacts on resources, views,
and the visitor experience. A section
of the roadway will be moved into atgrade tunnels, allowing a magnificent
new park landscape to reconnect the
Crissy Field waterfront to the Main
Post.
Learn more about the roadway

replacement project at the Presidio
Parkway website. Here you can
register to receive construction
advisories.
Additionally, special advisories are sent

to Presidio residents, including those

WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE
HOTLINE
The Presidio Trust is committed to
serving the public and upholding the

How Does it Work?
A special toll-free number is available

to anyone 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.

a report number and ask you to make
one call back at a later date.
The information reported is then
relayed to a designated senior
management team within the Presidio
Trust. This team will look into your
concern.
Using the report number and
scheduled call back date given to you
by the interviewer, you call back for
a follow-up. At that time, you may be

MOLD AND PEST
MANAGEMENT
Mold
Managing Insects and Pests
Mold is triggered by poor air circulation

and the presence of excess moisture.
Help prevent mold by taking the
following precautions:
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

is an effective and environmentally
sensitive approach to controlling pests
that uses a combination of practices.
IPM solves pest problems while
minimizing risks to people and the
environment.
Maintain good ventilation

throughout your home especially
in the shower, laundry, and cooking
areas
Keep indoor surfaces dry
Use a squeegee to remove window
condensation as soon as you see it
Never place a bed or mattress
directly on the floor
Clean bathrooms with mold-killing
products
Place furniture at least two inches
away from any wall
Report water leaks immediately to
the Work Order Service Center
To learn more about preventing mold
in your home, view the Environmental
Protection Agencys publication,
A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture, and
Your Home.
The Presidio Trusts first goal is to keep

insects and rodents from entering
buildings. To achieve this, the Trust
closes building cracks, seals below- or
at-grade crawl spaces, and screens
roof-top gutters.
If further measures are needed,
trained staff members select the best
management methods, limiting the
use of pesticides. The most effective,
long-term way to manage pests is by
using a combination of techniques.
If you are concerned about insects
or rodents in or near your home,
please contact the Presidio Trust
Work Order Service Center. Prompt
reporting and early treatment help
keep buildings pest free.

LIVING WITH
WILDLIFE
The Presidio is home to an
extraordinarily diverse wildlife
population. More than 600 species,
from expansive birds of prey to North
Americas tiniest butterfly, make their
home in the park. Even coyotes are
regularly spotted here.
Birds
Coyotes
Because it is one of the largest open

spaces in San Francisco, with plentiful
food and water, the Presidio is a haven
for many bird species seeking either
a permanent home or a safe resting
place on a migratory journey.
The diversity of wildlife extends

beyond the typical urban wildlife
seen in most city parks and
neighborhoods. As one of the last large
open spaces in San Francisco, the
Presidio is truly a wildlife refuge.
More than 85 percent of the animals

regularly seen in the Presidio are
birdsincluding more than 65 species
that live and nest in the park, and
up to 175 additional species called
neotropical migrants. Many of these
migratory birds stop here (perhaps
in your backyard) during their annual
trips from their nesting grounds in the
tropics where they spend the winter,
and northward again in the spring.
Since 2002, coyotes have been seen

in the Presidio and other parts of the
city. Coyotes are smart and adaptable
animals. Regular extended contact
with humans can cause them to lose
their natural fear of people and may in
turn cause behavioral problems.
The presence of wildlife around the

park enlivens both the visitor and
resident experience with sounds and
sights that capture the imagination and
deepen a sense of community and
place. Wildlife also provide important
ecological functionspollinate flowers,
prey on pest species, decompose
organic matter, and replenish nutrients
in soils.
Species like Barn Swallows may nest

on your building and are protected
by the International Migratory Bird
Treaty. If there is a problem with the
location of a bird nest (e.g., the nest
is near a doorway), contact
nature@presidiotrust.gov.
In order to keep coyotes naturally timid

of human contact, please restrict food
sources (pet food and trash) and keep
your distance from coyotes. If you
have a direct close encounter with a
coyote in the Presidio you may scare
it away by making loud noises and/or
waving your arms. To report a coyote
sighting or encounter, contact nature@
presidiotrust.gov or (415) 561-4449.
Contact nature@presidiotrust.gov
if you would like to learn first-hand
about the plants and ecosystems of
the Presidio by volunteering in park
restoration efforts.
To help protect the parks

nature and wildlife please

Keep cats indoors and dogs on

a leash and supervised while
outdoors
Clean up after your animal and

keep food indoors
Keep refuse and recycling

containers tightly sealed
Respect the privacy of bird nests
Call the Presidio Trust Work Order

Service Center for rodent and pest
problems (toxic products can harm
hawks and owls)
Do not release unwanted pets

(e.g. turtles) into the park
Stay on trails
Abide by the terms of your lease

and other documents, including
the Presidio Residential Rules and
Rules for Planting in Containers

(415) 561-5173 or at
David_E_Williams@nps.gov.
If something happened to you, would

your loved ones know what you
possessed or where to find it?
If you experience a significant loss, it
can be difficult to recall what valuables
you possessed, record them, and then
assign an estimated value to them.
The challenge is compounded if you do
not have access to your home for an
extended period during an emergency.
To assist, the USPP offers Presidio
residents tools and information to
complete their own personal home
inventory.
To request assistance with a personal

home inventory, contact Sgt. David
Williams at (415) 561-5173 or at
David_E_Williams@nps.gov.
USPP will provide residents with a

State of California Department of
Insurance Home Inventory Guide.

EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS
Presidio Emergency
Information Line
(415) 561-4500
Residents can listen to recorded
information following a disaster
such as a major earthquake or
other large-scale event.
In a serious emergency, local services

will be affected, so a basic rule
of thumb is for people to be able
to take care of each other for 72
hours before help arrives. SF72, a
website brought to you by the San
Francisco Department of Emergency
Management, is your hub for
emergency preparedness:
www.sf72.org/home
At SF72, you will find information

about what to do in an emergency,
simple steps to get connected, and
useful guides to help you get prepared.
Please familiarize yourself with the
information contained in the website,
being sure to remember that it is not
meant to be a substitute for abiding by
the terms of your residential lease and
other important requirements of living
in the Presidio.

ABOUT THE PRESIDIO

AND THE PRESIDIO TRUST
The Presidio has a deep and rich
history. Presidio lands were home
to native peoples for more than a
thousand years. In 1776the same
year this country was foundedthe
Presidio was established as Spains
northernmost outpost in the Americas.
It then served as a Mexican frontier
outpost from 1822 until 1846, when it
began its tenure as the most important
U.S. Army post on the Pacific Coast.
In 1989, Congress decided to close
many military basesincluding the
Presidio. The Presidio, however, was
fortunate to have a pre-ordained future.
A 1972 law written by Congressman
Phillip Burton indicated that the
Presidio would become part of the
national park system should the
military ever leave.
As the Army prepared to depart,

the community and the National
Park Service began planning for
the Presidios future as a public
park. However, the high costs of
transforming the Presidiowith nearly
800 buildings and the infrastructure of
a small townled some in Congress to
consider selling the post. The Presidios
future was uncertain.
Community advocates rallied, and
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi
led a bipartisan effort to save the
Presidio through partnership between
government and a broad coalition of
supporters. A new federal agency,
the Presidio Trust, was formed in
1998 to work with the National Park
Service and the non-profit Golden
Gate National Parks Conservancy
to combine public funding with
contributions from park tenants,

residents, volunteers, donors, and
others. Congress mandated that the
Trust become financially self-sufficient
within 15 years. In 2013, the Trust
achieved that goal, ushering in a new
era of public purpose.
The Presidio today is a partnership
park with many organizations
and individuals contributing to its
ongoing revitalization. Today, a diverse
community lives and works in buildings
once used by the military. Visitors
come from around the world to
experience nature and history, enjoy
public events, attend conferences, or
take in Golden Gate views. The Presidio
is a vibrant place that invites discovery,
welcomes the exchange of ideas, and
inspires service.
The Presidio
Located at the Golden Gate, the
Presidio was the U.S. Armys
premier post for generations. Today,
it is a National Historic Landmark
District and a new kind of national
park site that offers broad benefits
for the American people.
The Presidio Trust

The Presidio Trust is an innovative
federal agency created to save the
Presidio as forever a public place.

NATURE AND
Have You Seen Me?

The Presidios rich and varied resources contribute significantly to the San
Francisco Bay Areas designation as an international biodiversity hotspot.
WILDLIFE
The Presidios land tells a story of
people, place, and change. Over
thousands of years the geology,
topography, and climates created
diverse natural landscapes. Many
generations shaped these wilds,
from the Native Ohlone to Spanish,
Mexican, and American settlers who
brought their traditions and created
an enduring military presence at the
Golden Gate.
100s of native bee,

dragonfly, and spider

protected
by the
Endangered
Species Act
Many habitats that have been lost in

the urban San Francisco Bay Area still
thrive in the Presidio. The Presidio is
truly an oasis of nature in the city.
Today, the Presidio Trust, in
partnership with the National Park
Service and Golden Gate National
Parks Conservancy, is dedicated to
enhancing and protecting the Presidios
open spaces. For generations to come
the Presidio will remain a refuge where
visitors can experience Californias
natural heritage.

for connecting with the parks heritage.
To learn about the exhibits and
offerings visit www.presidio.gov/poc.
Other popular places for connecting
