Hearts in San Francisco Project

The Hearts in San Francisco project debuted in 2004. Under the leadership of Nancy Bechtle and Ellen Magin Newman, 131 beautiful and inspired heart sculptures were created by local Bay Area artists. For three months, these hearts were placed on display throughout San Francisco for the public to enjoy, before being auctioned.

Surpassing its original goal, Hearts in San Francisco raised nearly $3 million for the Foundation. The project generated a new level of exposure for the Foundation’s mission, as well as Zuckerberg San Francisco General’s vital role in our community as a provider of life-saving care to anyone in need, regardless of ability to pay.

The Foundation is incredibly grateful to all who were involved in helping to bring the Hearts in San Francisco project to life. From those on the planning committee, to the talented artists, as well as our generous corporate sponsors, thank you. Most importantly we thank the entire San Francisco community for opening its heart to our Hearts.

To view the collection of Hearts in San Francisco sculptures, visit our Gallery of Hearts.

Locations

Hearts in San Francisco sculptures can be spotted throughout the City and beyond. The most recognizable Tony Bennett’s heart titled, America’s Greatest City By the Bay resides permanently on the corner of Powell and Post Streets in San Francisco’s Union Square. All of the ‘heartworks’ are privately owned and some are in easily discovered locations, such as the lobbies and storefronts of our generous corporate supporters, others are at the homes of private individuals. Out of respect for the privacy of our donors and supporters, we are unable to release a list of locations for the hearts. If you look closely around the City, we’re sure you’ll be able to spot several.

How many have you found?

Ground Testing Update: Indicator Piles | January 2020

Dear Neighbor:

As ground improvement testing continues on parking Lot A, the Mission Rock team wanted to provide you with additional insight into the indicator pile program starting on Tuesday, January 21^st (after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday). You may have noticed the mobilization of equipment on site for the indicator pile program. The purpose of the program is to better refine the overall pile count and the length of steel h-piles that will be needed for each building’s foundation. Similar to other projects in the neighborhood, piles for Mission Rock are designed to reach bedrock.

Each test pile will be made up of three to four segments, approximately 80’ in length. The first two segments are planned to be installed with a vibratory rig which among many advantages helps to reduce noise impacts. Splices between segments are welded once the initial segment is far enough into the ground. The remaining segments (once the vibratory rig can no longer effectively install added length into the ground) will be installed with a diesel impact hammer. During this work you can expect to hear pile driving between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. While the majority of the impact hammer work for pile testing is planned to be completed at the end of February, the in-place piles will continue to be observed and tested for approximately one month. A noise and vibration consultant works closely with the project team to identify methods to mitigate, monitor, and manage sound and vibration.

Please feel free to direct questions or report observations to the Mission Rock project team via construction hotline (415) 972-1744 or email info@missionrock.com

Dear Madrone Residents,

The Mission Bay Shuttle stop locations at Civic Center and Powell stations are changing again.  In response to safety issues on 5th St, and Market Street becoming ‘car-free’ in the next couple of weeks, we’re relocating the Powell Station stop to 4th Street; the Civic Center stop to 7th just before Market.  We also added the 500 Howard St stop on Transbay route, in the Mission Bay-bound direction.  East, West, and Transbay routes all have slight timetable adjustments.  There are no changes to the CCA route.  

This change will be effective on Monday, January 13th.    New timetables are posted on the web under each route “effective January 13, 2020”.  Below is more information about the new stop locations:
