The repairs begun at Redding School last year have been finished, at least for now.

Redding School, November 2017

All the windows have been replaced.

The interior has been redone,

as has the playground in the back. The 'red schoolhouse' brick has been painted over in more cheerful colors.

I don't know why the entire building wasn't finished; perhaps it was because the school year started before the workers could get to it.

Sometimes public tax money is ill-spent, but the Redding School remodel doesn't seem to be one of them.

Redding Elementary School, located at 1421 Pine Street, is currently closed for modernization, renovation and upgrade,

as approved San Francisco voters in 2011.

Polk Street between Pine and California has been undergoing construction since August.

New sewer pipes are being put in and the road re-paved.

Similar construction recently started on the stretch of Polk between Sutter and Post.

This has made commuting and driving more difficult and time-consuming during the daytime on Polk, since that's when everyone is working.
