  • Chapter 3: Environmental Setting and Consequences
    CHAPTER 3: ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND CONSEQUENCES CHAPTER 3: ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND CONSEQUENCES This chapter presents information on the environmental setting in the project area as well as the environmental consequences of the No-Electrification and Electrification Program Alternatives. Environmental issue categories are organized in alphabetical order, consistent with the CEQA checklist presented in Appendix A. The project study area encompasses the geographic area potentially most affected by the project. For most issues involving physical effects this is the project “footprint,” or the area that would be disturbed for or replaced by the new project facilities. This area focuses on the Caltrain corridor from the San Francisco Fourth and King Station in the City and County of San Francisco to the Gilroy Station in downtown Gilroy in Santa Clara County and also includes the various locations proposed for traction power facilities and power connections. Air quality effects may be felt over a wider area. 3.1 AESTHETICS 3.1.1 VISUAL OR AESTHETIC SETTING The visual or aesthetic environment in the Caltrain corridor is described to establish the baseline against which to compare changes resulting from construction of project facilities and the demolition or alteration of existing structures. This discussion focuses on representative locations along the railroad corridor, including existing stations (both modern and historic), tunnel portals, railroad overpasses, locations of the proposed traction power facilities and other areas where the Electrification Program would physically change above-ground features, affecting the visual appearance of the area and views enjoyed by area residents and users. For purposes of this analysis, sensitive visual receptors are defined as corridor residents and business occupants, recreational users of parks and preserved natural areas, and students of schools in the vicinity of the proposed project.

  • Islais Creek Reinterpreted: an Exploration of Restoration Designs in the Urbanized Context of San Francisco

Griffith December 17, 2006 Fall 2006 LA 227 Restoration of Rivers and Streams ISLAIS CREEK REINTERPRETED An Exploration of Restoration Design in the Urbanized Context of San Francisco Abstract In my initial inquiry into the environmental history of the Alemany Farmers’ Market in San Francisco, I learnt of a creek – Islais Creek, the largest watershed in the city. I measured and analyzed an 1869 U.S. Coast Survey to establish a representative baseline for the historical character of Islais Creek. Historically water accumulated on the shallow soils of the San Bruno Mountains and flowed into Islais Creek I used additional maps and surveys from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to document the cultural settlement of the watershed and further discuss land use impacts on the creek. For the past one-hundred and fifty years urban expansion and development have severely altered the original character of the creek and disallowed natural fluvial dynamics to persist. Currently the creek serves as the infrastructural backbone to a combined sewer system located underground in concrete pipes and culverts.

We want you, the community we serve, to know about all the work we do District to protect Alameda County from flooding and the efforts • taken to protect and enhance our natural resources. Preparing and distributing a report like this allows us to reach people in the most meaningful way—by sharing the stories and images of design, construction, and maintenance projects completed in each flood control zone. In addition, a summary of District responsibilities and finances is provided for public review. Conservation Donald J. LaBelle, Director • D ISTRICT GOALS ater When the Flood Control District was established in 1949, its first concern was to reduce regional W flooding. Early in the District’s history, engineers and planners realized that • flood control infrastructure could, in some instances, provide recreation opportunities. Today, Alameda Creek Trail, Lake Elizabeth, and other trails, and parks, and lakes are a testament to the District’s forethought. • The District has continued to maintain and repair infrastructure built as long as 50 years ago while responding to flood control needs created by new development throughout the area. Over the last 20 years, the District has turned even greater attention to environmental concerns. This includes repairing local creeks Control • damaged by stormwater flows, returning channelized waterways to more natural settings, adding parks and learning centers in watershed areas, working to prevent stormwater pollution, and educating the public about individual and collective roles we can all take to create a healthier environment.

  • The Emergence of Mission Bay
    CONTEXT 02 Context 02 CONTEXT Seawall Lot & Pier 48 occupy an important and highly visible corner of San Francisco’s waterfront. The development plan for this site must respect its context as a waterfront property, a part of the Mission Bay community, and a neighbor of the ballpark. Our proposed plan for Mission Rock is designed to accomplish these necessary goals. 26 MISSION ROCK Context 27 28 MISSION ROCK A HISTORY OF SUCCESS WORKING TOGETHER Complicated projects along the waterfront take time and require dedication and teamwork. Our team has worked effectively in partnership with the Port of San Francisco before, achieving great success together and making lasting positive contributions to our City. The ballpark is a good example. In 1995, the Giants were a financially struggling baseball franchise, playing in one of the worst sports facilities in the country. In March of 1996, however, the voters of San Francisco overwhelmingly approved the idea of constructing a new ballpark at China Basin. The vote, however, was only the beginning of the journey. Before any construction could begin, the Giants and the Port had to conduct a comprehensive environmental assessment of the project, assemble different parcels of land, negotiate a complicated real estate transaction, and gain local, regional and state regulatory approvals. Together, the Giants and the Port successfully and efficiently navigated the complicated process required of waterfront development projects. As the project approached final approval, proceeded through construction and opened with celebration, it became more and more popular. One of the hallmarks of our success was involving local residents, businesses and stakeholders in the process, giving them a seat at the table and a voice in the development and operation of the ballpark.
