  • THIS STAFF REPORT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 8 for the MEETING OF: April 19, 2007 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPT
    THIS STAFF REPORT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 8 FOR THE MEETING OF: April 19, 2007 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: This staff report provides the status of a planning feasibility study for a future pedestrian connection tunnel between the Transbay Transit Center and the BART/MUNI Metro stations on Market Street. SUMMARY: The TJPA is conducting a study of the feasibility and estimated construction cost for a new pedestrian connection tunnel along one of the following four alternative alignments. • Beale Street (Alternative 1) • Fremont Street (Alternative 2) • First Street (Alternative 3) • Ecker Place (Alternative 4) Estimated construction costs vary for each alignment, with the Beale Street and Ecker Place alignments expected to cost less than the Fremont Street or First Street alignments due to the shorter total length of the tunnel structures. There is currently no funding identified for inclusion of the pedestrian connection tunnel in Phase 1 of the Transbay Transit Center Program. Consequently, it remains a “design option” that would be implemented during the Caltrain Downtown Extension project in Phase 2 of the Transbay Transit Center Program, as originally envisioned in the Final Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR). If adequate funding is secured, construction of the pedestrian connection tunnel appears technically feasible along any of the four alignments studied. A study report with input from City and regional stakeholders is planned for consideration by the TJPA Board at its May 2007 meeting. REPORT: FEIS/EIR Consideration of a Pedestrian Connection Tunnel The Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) that was adopted during the preparation of the FEIS/EIR included a “design option” for a pedestrian connection tunnel below Fremont Street between the train mezzanine level of the new Transit Center and the mezzanine level of the existing BART/MUNI Metro Embarcadero Station, as part of the Caltrain Downtown Extension Project.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Updated February 26, 2021 Alta Way
    Frequently Asked Questions Updated February 26, 2021 Alta Way Grading Permit The Marin County Community Development Agency’s Planning Division (CDA) is a regulatory agency responsible for implementing State and local land use laws through the entitlement process. While the CDA is not the permitting authority for a Grading Permit, we prepared this informational document to provide responses to questions that we have received about the Alta Way Grading Permit application. 1. Why is the project not considered a “Subdivision”? Response: The Marin County Development Code defines a subdivision, in part, as follows: “The division, by any subdivider, of any unit or portion of land shown on the latest equalized Marin County Assessment Role as a unit or contiguous units…”. The project applicant is not proposing to create additional, new lots. The proposal will provide access to a number of existing lots that were created by a prior subdivision map (Map of Garden Valley Park Subdivision 1, filed for record on October 9, 1919 in Volume 5 of Maps at page 4 in the Office of the Recorder, Marin County Records). The applicant proposes to “merge” or combine 8 of the existing lots into 4 lots. As a “merger” involves the combination of existing units of land rather than a division of a unit or units of land, a merger is not considered a subdivision under the County Code and the State Subdivision Map Act. Therefore, the provisions for subdivisions do not apply to the proposed project. The applicant has applied to the CDA to merge the lots described above.

  • Transbay Transit Center
    Transbay Transit Center TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Transbay Transit Center Why do we need the Transbay Transit Center? It is time for public infrastructure to meet the needs of the 21st century. The project will centralize a fractured regional transportation network—making transit connections be- tween all points in the Bay Area fast and convenient. The new Transit Center will make public transit a convenient option as it is in other world-class cities, allowing people to travel and commute without the need for a car, thereby decreasing congestion and pollution. The Transit Center will provide a downtown hub in the heart of a new transit- friendly neighborhood with new homes, parks and shops, providing access to public transit literally at the foot of people’s doors. When will I be able to use the Transit Center? The Transit Center building will be completed in 2017 and will be a bustling transit and retail center for those who live, work and visit the heart of downtown San Francisco. When will I be able to take Caltrain into the new Transit Center? The construction of the underground rail extension for the Caltrain rail line and future High Speed Rail is planned to begin in 2012. It is estimated to be completed and operational, along with the Transit Center’s underground rail station, in 2018 or sooner if funding becomes What is the Transbay Transit available. Center Project? How many people will use it? When the rail component is complete, it is estimated that The Transbay Transit Center Project is a visionary more than 20 million people will use the Transit Center transportation and housing project that will transform annually.

  • Transbay Transit Center
    Transbay Transit Center Building the First Modern Multi-Modal Transportation Station in the United States The Transbay Transit Center Project will centralize the region’s transportation network by making transit connections between all points in the Bay Area fast and convenient for more than 100,000 passengers per day. The Project will replace the current bus terminal with a new multi-modal transportation center—the “Grand Central Station of the West”— and house eleven transit systems under one roof. The new Transit Center will make public transit a convenient option as it is in other world-class cities and return San Francisco to a culture of mass transit. As the northern terminus for high speed rail in California and the first modern high speed rail station to be constructed in the United States, the $4.2 billion project will create a modern regional transit hub and: • Stimulate the economy by creating more than • Serve as the San Francisco terminus for California 125,000 jobs High Speed Rail Service which will reduce California CO2 emissions by 1.4 percent statewide • Generate more than $87 billion in Gross Regional Product and $52 billion in personal income • Serve up to 45 million passengers per year through 2030 • Use cutting edge designs and technologies to • Create a demand in transit use through intermodal achieve LEED certification connections for eight Bay Area counties and • Feature a fully accessible city park and utilize Southern California natural light to conserve water and energy • Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 36,000 tons each year from the Caltrain commuter rail extension alone The Transbay Project is the Largest Transit Project Under Construction in the Western United States www.transbaycenter.org 1.11 Transbay Transit Center TRANSBAY TRANSIT CENTER The Transbay Transit Center in downtown San Francisco will transform transportation in California and stimulate the economy.
