  • Waterfront Transportation Assessment Draft
    Waterfront Transportation Assessment Preliminary Draft: Summary for Public Review The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is coordinating a Waterfront Transportation Assessment (the Assessment) to identify transportation challenges and guide solutions that will accommodate anticipated growth along the San Francisco waterfront area roughly between the Presidio and Pier 80. This Preliminary Draft is presented to the public to encourage feedback, input and collaboration to help shape this “Transportation Goals and Strategies” phase of the Assessment as it develops over Summer 2013.. Recent development proposals, including the Warriors’ Arena and Event Center at Seawall Lot 330 /Piers 30-32, the Giants’ Mission Rock project at Seawall Lot 337 / Pier 48, and Pier 70, are especially prominent examples of major projects in the planning stage - and that will depend on a safe, reliable and efficient transportation system to Waterfront Transportation Assessment Study Area sustain them. draft The Assessment Approach However, many of the area The SFMTA has been engaging local resident and business residents, businesses, visitors, communities, local and regional planning and transportation community leaders, and agencies, advocacy groups, elected and appointed officials, and transportation agencies point out sponsors of major developments in the area to establish a “baseline” that the current transportation of the transportation investments and programs proposed for this area network already faces great in the next 25 years, and to gain their insights on how transportation challenges including transit can better serve this area. In turn, this Assessment should help reliability and capacity, traffic shape agreements between the major new developments and the congestion, efficient use of transportation agencies they must depend upon for sustainable, existing on and off-street parking efficient service.
