    Altamont Corridor Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor AltamontAltamont Corridor Corridor Vision: Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor What is the Altamont Corridor Vision? The Altamont Corridor that connects the San Joaquin Valley to the Bay Area is one of the most heavily traveled, most congested, and fastest growing corridors in the Northern California megaregion. The Bay Area Council estimates that congestion will increase an additional 75% between 2016 and 2040. To achieve state and regional environmental and economic development goals, a robust alternative is needed to provide a sustainable / reliable travel choice and greater connectivity. The Altamont Corridor Vision is a long-term vision to establish a universal rail corridor connecting the San Joaquin Valley and the Tri-Valley to San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and the Peninsula. This Vision complements other similar investments being planned for Caltrain, which is in the process of electrifying its corridor and rolling stock; Capitol Corridor, which is moving its operations to the Coast Subdivision as it improves its service frequency and separates freight from passenger service; a new Transbay Crossing, which would allow for passenger trains to flow from Oakland to San Francisco; the Dumbarton Rail Crossing, which is being studied to be brought back into service; and Valley Rail, which will connect Merced and Sacramento. The Vision also complements and connects with High- Speed Rail (HSR), and would enable a one-seat ride from the initial operating segment in the San Joaquin Valley throughout the Northern California Megaregion. One-Hour One-Seat One Shared Travel Time Ride Corridor Shared facilities, Oakland, Stockton, Express service, integrated Peninsula, Modesto modern rolling ticketing, San Jose stock timed connections • The limited stop (two intermediate stops) travel time between Stockton and San Jose is estimated to be 60 minutes.

  • The Long Road from Babylon to Brentwood: Crisis and Restructuring in the San Francisco Bay Area
    UC Berkeley ISSI Fellows Working Papers Title The Long Road from Babylon to Brentwood: Crisis and Restructuring in the San Francisco Bay Area Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/93x39448 Author Schafran, Alex Publication Date 2010-11-29 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ISSC WORKING PAPER SERIES 2009-2010.47 The Long Road from Babylon to Brentwood: Crisis and Restructuring in the San Francisco Bay Area by Alex Schafran Department of City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley November 29, 2010 Alex Schafran Department of City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley [email protected] Communities on the fringes of the American metropolis – exurbs, or exurbia – have recently garnered attention as the centers of the foreclosure crisis and its aftermath. On the one hand, this attention to the urban nature of the crisis is welcome, as the metamorphosis of the mortgage fiasco into a financial crisis cum global economic meltdown turned popular attention away from the urban roots of this calamity. But this emphasis on the exurbs as the site of crisis lends itself to the misconception that they are the sole source of crisis, rather than the restructuring of the metropolis as a whole. Using a mixture of ethnography, history and journalism, this paper weaves together the story of how the San Francisco Bay Area was restructured over the course of the past thirty years in a way that produced not only a new map of urban and exurban segregation, but the roots of the crisis itself. Working across multiple scales, it examines how three interwoven factors – demographics, policy and capital – each reacted to the landscape inherited at the end of the 1970’s, moving about the region in new ways, leaving some places thriving and others struggling with foreclosure, plummeting property values and the deep uncertainty of the current American metropolis.

  • Summit Ridge Wind Farm – Request for Amendment 4
    Shawn Smallwood, PhD 3108 Finch Street Davis, CA 95616 Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council c/o Luke May, Siting Analyst Oregon Department of Energy 550 Capitol St. NE Salem, OR 97301 [email protected] 21 February 2019 Re: Summit Ridge Wind Farm – Request for Amendment 4 Dear Chair Beyeler and Members of the Council, On behalf of Friends of the Columbia Gorge, Oregon Wild, the Oregon Natural Desert Association, Central Oregon LandWatch, the Audubon Society of Portland, and East Cascades Audubon Society, I write to comment on the Request for Amendment 4 for the Summit Ridge Wind Farm, which requests a postponement of construction start and end dates for the project and which proposes an amended Habitat Mitigation Plan (January 2019). I primarily wish to comment on (1) the suitability of the habitat assessment underlying the amended Habitat Mitigation Plan, and (2) the need to update baseline surveys, project impact predictions, mitigation measures, and post- construction monitoring protocols. Updated surveys and analyses are needed in part because over the near-decade that has passed since the primary baseline study (Northwest Wildlife Consultants 2010), science has made vast improvements in field survey methods and in our understanding of wind turbine collision factors, displacement effects, and cumulative impacts related to wind projects. Methodology has vastly improved in preconstruction studies needed to predict project-scale and wind turbine-scale impacts, to measure post-construction impacts, and to assess whether and to what degree specific mitigation measures can be tested for efficacy. My qualifications for preparing these comments as expert comments are the following.

  • The Long Road from Babylon to Brentwood: Crisis and Restructuring in the San Francisco Bay Area by Alex
    The Long Road From Babylon To Brentwood: Crisis and Restructuring in the San Francisco Bay Area By Alex B. Schafran A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City & Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Teresa P.R. Caldeira, Chair Professor Ananya Roy Professor Malo Hutson Professor Richard Walker Fall 2012 Copyright © Alex B. Schafran All Rights Reserved Abstract The Long Road From Babylon To Brentwood: Crisis and Restructuring in the San Francisco Bay Area by Alex B. Schafran Doctor of Philosophy in City & Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Teresa P.R. Caldeira, Chair This dissertation integrates policy analysis, archival research, ethnographic field work, GIS mapping and statistical analysis to build a broad geo‐historical understanding of the role of planning, policy, capital and race in the production of the foreclosure crisis in the San Francisco Bay Area. It begins from the premise that an explanation of the foreclosure crisis that focuses solely on either finance capital or the action of homeowners misses the critical importance of history, geography and planning to the production of crisis. The specific and racialized historical geography of the initial wave of foreclosure in the Bay Area, which like in Southern California is particularly concentrated in newly built suburban and exurban areas which are exceptionally diverse, is evidence of the deeper role of two generations of urban development, regional economics and planning politics in what is too often cast as a ‘housing problem.’ This dissertation argues that thinking about the current problem as an urban crisis forces us to reexamine the dysfunctionality of planning politics at every scale and the reality of a metropolitan geography where hyper‐diverse demographic and economic sprawl and geopolitical fragmentation is a historical fact rather than a pending reality.

Bay Area to Central Valley High-Speed Train (HST) Program Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). Draft. Summary. July. Sacramento, CA and Washington, D.C. S-1 SUMMARY S-1.1 Introduction and Background The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) proposes a high-speed train (HST) system for intercity travel in California between the major metropolitan centers of Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area in the north, through the Central Valley, to Los Angeles and San Diego in the south. The HST system is projected to carry as many as 117 million passengers annually by the year 2030. The Authority adopted a final business plan (Business Plan) in June 2000, which examined the economic viability of a train system capable of speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour (mph) (322 kilometers per hour [kph]) on a fully grade-separated track, with state-of-the-art safety, signaling, and automated control systems. The Authority and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) completed a statewide program environmental impact report/ environmental impact statement (EIR/EIS) in November 2005 as the first phase of a tiered environmental review process for the proposed HST system.
