  • 2.0 Alternatives Considered
    2.0 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED To implement new ferry service between the San Francisco Ferry Building and the Berkeley/ Albany waterfront, WETA would construct a ferry terminal and associated waterside and landside facilities for berthing ferry boats and to provide access for ferry patrons. Four potential ferry terminal site alternatives in Berkeley and Albany have been identified (Figure 2-1): • Alternative A: located at the Berkeley Marina, adjacent to the Hornblower dock • Alternative B: located between the landside end of the Berkeley Fishing Pier and Hs Lordships Restaurant • Alternative C: located immediately north of the foot of Gilman Street adjacent to the Golden Gate Fields horse stables • Alternative D: located on the old pier site at the foot of Buchanan Street adjacent to Golden Gate Fields Sites A through C are located in the City of Berkeley, and Site D is located in the City of Albany. Sites A through D represent the proposed project alternatives or “action” alternatives. A description of the physical characteristics, site plans, construction activities, and costs for the ferry terminal alternatives as well as the ferry operating plans are presented below. In addition, in accordance with NEPA and CEQA guidelines, the EIS/EIR describes the No-Action Alternative that would occur if the ferry terminal project were not implemented. The No-Action Alternative includes the existing transportation network within the study area and funded transportation improvements. It serves as a baseline of comparison for analyzing impacts generated with and without the project. 2.1 NO-ACTION ALTERNATIVE The No-Action Alternative is a base scenario for comparison with the Action Alternatives.

  • Completely New Community with a Wide Range of Activities Including Residential, Commercial, Industrial Bay Shoreline Have Been T
    Chapter 6 HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SHORELINE AND THE INFLUENTIAL IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT ON THE COMMUNITY Kathi Candelaria Introduction Berkeley has been described by the Berkeley City Planning Commission as a "land locked" city because of its inability to expand eastward due to already existing developments. The one direction in which Berkeley is able to grow is toward the west, by reclamation of the submerged lands of the San Francisco Bay. The submerged land has been regarded as a highly valuable resource allowing for potential com munity and/or economical growth in the city of Berkeley. Studies of possible improvements on the shore line began back in 1913. Most of the early studies centered on port facilities and further industrial development of a major airport on the waterfront (BCPC, 1961). Through the work of various planning commissions, a great deal of energy has been devoted to in vestigating the possibilities of a more comprehensive development of the waterfront lands. These com missions proposed alternate uses for the development of the shoreline, including the development of a completely new community with a wide range of activities including residential, commercial, industrial and recreational uses (BCPC, 1961). The focus of my research is to discuss the developmental changes in the history of the shoreline and the impact of development on the community as a whole. Possibilities for future growth on the East Bay shoreline have been taken into account and used as guide posts in formulating a master plan for future development. Rather than to recommend that all of the shoreline be turned over to any one use, " an effort has been made by various planning commissions to devise a balanced scheme for development.

  • Berkeley, a City in History"
    "Berkeley, A City in History" by Charles Wollenberg © 2002 Chapter 1 - First Settlers In the year 2000 the Berkeley city council approved formal landmark status for the Indian shellmound that once stood near the mouth of Strawberry Creek in West Berkeley. Scientists estimate that the mound, actually a giant midden filled with the remains and material remnants of the society that created it, was used for more than three thousand years, from 3000 BC to 800 AD. Like dozens of its companions along the bay shore, the Berkeley shellmound was leveled and paved over in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But some remains of the structure survive under the Truitt and White lumberyard and the Spengers Restaurant parking lot. Opponents of the landmark proposal, mainly property owners concerned about limits on development, argued that the site was not eligible for landmark status since it was "archeological" rather than "historical". Although the precise difference between these categories is not entirely clear, the city council's approval implicitly recognizes that Berkeley's history doesn't just begin with the arrival of American residents a hundred and fifty years ago, but extends back thousands of years to the area's very first settlers. The Huichin When the Europeans initially arrived in the late eighteenth century, Berkeley was inhabited by the Huichin, part of the larger Ohlone or Costanoan linguistic and cultural group which occupied coastal regions from the central Bay Area south to Monterey Bay. Like all Ohlone peoples, the Huichin lived in bands of a few hundred individuals inhabiting a well-defined hunting and gathering territory.

  • Provide Cost Estimates to Restore the Berkeley Pier
    CiTy COuncil Darryl Moore Councilmember District 2 CONSENT CALENDAR December 15, 2015 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmember Darryl Moore Subject: Provide Cost Estimates to Restore the Berkeley Pier RECOMMENDATION: Refer to the City Manager to determine the cost to make the appropriate repairs so that it will be safe for public use. BACKGROUND: In the mid-19th century, two private wharves were built along the Berkeley waterfront. One was located at the foot of Addison Street one block south of University Avenue and served the Standard Soap Company, a major regional soap-making factory. The other, the Jacobs and Heywood Wharf, was located several blocks north of University Avenue at the foot of Delaware Street, used as a general freight transshipment point. In 1909, the City built a municipal wharf at the foot of University Avenue. This pier was intended for a commuter ferry which never materialized, and the pier was instead used mainly for freight. Starting in 1926, the Golden Gate Ferry Company, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific railroad, began construction of the Berkeley Pier. It was also built out from the foot of University Avenue about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) into the Bay (measured from the original shoreline). On June 16, 1927, auto ferry service began between the Berkeley Pier and the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco, a pier shared with the Sausalito ferry. Between 1926 and 1937, it served as an integral part of the Lincoln Highway (the first road across America), and then subsequently U.S.
