				  <description>The Crissy Field Center at Mason and Halleck Streets in the Presidio, operated by the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, will be relocating in
September 2009 due to the acceleration of the Doyle Drive replacement project. The Doyle Drive project is now scheduled to begin this summer, 16 months earlier than originally planned,
and will involve three to four years of heavy construction to improve seismic stability and safety. During this period, it will not be possible for the Center, which is directly adjacent to Doyle Drive, to operate safely or effectively with the disruptions of major construction, including truck traffic, dust, noise, and vibration. https://www.nps.gov/goga/learn/news/doyle.htm</description>
