  • Improvements to Powell Street Station Are Included As Part of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency's Mid-Market Plan. This H
    POWELL STREET PLANNING Improvements to Powell Street Station are included as part of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency’s Mid-Market Plan. This has been enhanced by the recommended improvements to Hallidie Plaza that were identified in the 2004 charrette funded in part by the owners of the soon-to- open (2006) Bloomingdale’s at San Francisco Center. Planning is also underway to make best use of the station space, which was studied in the 2004 Capacity Plan and found to be constricted in key areas (near the BART Police facility, in the mezzanine corridor between the fare gate areas, etc.) which may be affected when and if Muni’s Central Subway is connected to BART at this station. The Muni Central Subway project is proposed to connect to Powell station and to the new Transbay Terminal Project. The Powell station was studied in 2004 to analyze the critical areas of platform capacity, vertical circulation (stairs/escalators) capacity, and fare gate capacity. DEVELOPMENT BART is negotiating special entrance agreements with Forest City Development for a Bloomingdale’s entrance and with Millennium Partners and San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to consider what will become of the “tunnel” space between the station and and Yerba Buena Center. Owners of the Flood Building are also working with BART staff to address the possibilities of sub-street connections to the station. The Four Seasons high-rise tower, containing 150 housing units, 100 long-term hotel suites and 250 hotel rooms, is directly adjacent to the station and opened in 2002. Construction is underway at the adjacent Mexican Museum and the Jewish Museum in Yerba Buena Center.

  • The City Aroused: Sexual Politics and the Transformation of San Francisco’S Urban Landscape, 1943-1964
    Copyright by Damon John Scott 2008 The Dissertation Committee for Damon John Scott Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The City Aroused: Sexual Politics and the Transformation of San Francisco’s Urban Landscape, 1943-1964 Committee: Steven D. Hoelscher, Supervisor Paul C. Adams Lawrence M. Knopp, Jr. Elizabeth Mueller Leo E. Zonn The City Aroused: Sexual Politics and the Transformation of San Francisco’s Urban Landscape, 1943-1964 by Damon John Scott, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2008 Dedication For my folks Acknowledgements Before thanking the legion of mentors, colleagues, friends and family who have helped me along the way, I first want to “acknowledge” that I never really thought I would be writing these words—the last before I send them off to posterity. It’s not because I did not somewhere deep inside have the determination to finish, but because the things I want to understand are endless. How could I really gather enough bits and pieces to say something new about San Francisco? How could I interweave the well documented history of sexual politics in the city into a new historical geographic context? Would it really look any different? I am writing these words because, mercifully, this dissertation project ultimately does have an end point. That being said, I am comforted by the fact that there is still more to the story than I have been able to piece together here.

The user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the University of the Pacific, its officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims made by any person asserting that he or she is an owner of copyright. Credit Line: [Identification of item], Moscone Collection, Holt-Atherton Department of Special Collections, University of the Pacific Library. Processing History: The George Moscone Collection was processed and the finding aid completed in April of 2018 by Joseph Olson, Project Archivist. The original order of the papers was indeterminate and thus the current arrangement was developed at University of the Pacific. The work was made possible through grant funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commissions (NHPRC). Biographical Note: George Moscone was born in San Francisco in 1929 and grew up in the predominantly Italian neighborhood of Marina, west of North Beach. Raised as a Catholic, he attended St. Ignatius High School where he played basketball and graduated in 1947. He attended the College of the Pacific (now University of the Pacific), graduated in 1953, and went on to receive his law degree from U.C. Hastings in 1956. After serving in the Navy he started a private law practice in San Francisco by the name of Morgan and Moscone.
