Situated north of the lower deck of the San Francisco- Oakland Bay Bridge, north of the tunnel's east portal, between the Bridge roadway and the westbound on-ramp to the bridge. UTM Zone 10: 556050, 4185840, USGS 7.5 Quad Oakland West, 1959 (rev.1980) Significance: This small building was constructed as an electrical substation for the Key System trains that originally ran on the Bay Bridge, from Oakland to the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco. It was a vital component of the Bay Bridge. Although electric trains no longer run on the bridge, this building has retained its original use as an electrical substation and its association with the historic bridge. The building also possesses a high degree of integrity, with alterations limited to replacement of the electrical equipment that it contains. The building is therefore eligible for National Register listing as a contributing component of the Bay Bridge. Description: This one story building is a rectangular concrete box, approximately 50 feet long (east to west) by 36 feet wide.

  • Mapping the Bay
    ABOVE & BELOW | EXHIBITION LESSONS Mapping the Bay. Instructions for Teachers This lesson is to be done in class before visiting the museum and uses a map of the Bay to orient students to the geography of the Bay Area. Make copies of the map for students. Explain that on the left side, there is a wide border— this is not land. Students should understand that the Pacific Ocean extends beyond that border. Before You Start With the Map In order to do this assignment you need a projection of the map or a larger copy or to draw what you need on the board. Most students will work best if they can see what you are directing them to place on the map. Make sure you circulate around the class to assist where necessary. You also might want to download or get a copy of a San Francisco Bay Area Map [baycityguide.com provides a map that is useful] and a map with the bridges that cross the bay. [Bay Area Toll Authority makes a map that is useful]. Allow time for students to look at the shape of bay and how it is formed. Ask students why it might be called a Bay—how the Bay might have been formed, etc. Mapping the Bay The lower left hand border is a good place to put a compass rose. Students should use the lower left hand corner to put a compass rose with the cardinal directions: North, South, East, West. After you have the directions identified, have students find and write in the east bay, north bay, and south bay.

The Bay Area's 11 biggest transportation projects By Michael Cabanatuan | March 14, 2019 As more people come to the Bay Area and the trips to and from work become longer, commuters frequently find themselves white-knuckling the steering wheel, jostling for space on a bus or train, or simply dreaming of better days.

  • Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island (Collectively the “Islands”) Are Located in the San Francisco Bay, About Halfway Between the San Francisco Mainland and Oakland
    TREASURE ISLAND/YERBA BUENA ISLAND AREA PLAN INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island (collectively the “Islands”) are located in the San Francisco Bay, about halfway between the San Francisco mainland and Oakland. The Islands together consist of approximately 550 acres. Direct access to Yerba Buena Island is currently provided only by the Bay Bridge, which is linked to Treasure Island by a causeway. Treasure Island was originally constructed in 1937 as a possible site for the San Francisco Airport, but was first used to host the Golden Gate International Exposition from 1939-1040. Shortly thereafter in World War II, the United States Department of Defense converted the island into a Naval Station, former Naval Station Treasure Island (“NTSI”). NTSI was owned by the United States Navy and operated as an active military base for more than five decades until it was closed by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission in 1993 and ceased operations in 1997. Subsequent to the closure of NTSI the Navy transferred 37 acres in the center of Treasure Island to the Department of Labor for the Job Corps Facility. Additionally, 39 acres on Yerba Buena Island is owned and operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and 18 acres by the Federal Highway Administration. In 1997 the State legislature passed AB 699, the Treasure Island Conversion Act, which designated the Treasure Island Development Authority (“TIDA”) as a redevelopment agency under California Community Redevelopment Law with authority over NTSI and vested in TIDA the authority to administer the Public Trust for property on NTSI subject to the Public Trust.

    IV. Environmental Setting and Impacts D. CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES D.1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section assesses the potential for the presence of archaeological and paleontological resources in the Project Area, provides a context for evaluating the significance of archaeological resources that may be encountered, evaluates the potential impacts on archaeological resources, and provides mitigation measures that would avoid or minimize potential impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources. An independent consultant has prepared an Archaeological Research Design and Treatment Plan (“ARDTP”) for the Treasure Island / Yerba Buena Island Redevelopment Plan Project Area.1 The research and recommendations of the ARDTP are the basis for the information and conclusions of this EIR section with respect to archaeological resources. SETTING Context In order to predict the archaeological property types that may exist within the Project Area and provide a context for evaluating the significance of archaeological resources that may be encountered, the ARDTP provides a historic context for prehistoric era and historic era settlement in the vicinity of the Project Area. Geologic Setting Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island are part of a highly dynamic geologic landscape. About 200 million years ago, the Pacific Plate was subducted under the North American Plate, producing what is known as the Franciscan Complex of rocks. These constitute the basement rock for the Coast Ranges east of the modern San Andreas Fault, including the San Francisco Peninsula and the islands of the San Francisco Bay. The islands in the Bay (with the exception of the man-made Treasure Island) were formed generally from faulting, downwarping, and flooding.
