  • Central Soma Plan Draft
    CHAPTER VI Alternatives CHAPTER VI Alternatives VI.A Introduction The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15126.6(a), state that an environmental impact report (EIR) must describe and evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed project that would feasibly attain most of the project’s basic objectives, but that would avoid or substantially lessen any identified significant adverse environmental effects of the project. An EIR is not required to consider every conceivable alternative to a proposed project and is not required to consider alternatives that are infeasible. Rather, it must consider a reasonable range of potentially feasible alternatives that will foster informed decision-making and public participation. The EIR must evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives and include sufficient information about each alternative to allow meaningful evaluation, analysis, and comparison with the proposed project. Specifically, the CEQA Guidelines set forth the following additional criteria for selecting and evaluating alternatives: ● [T]he discussion of alternatives shall focus on alternatives to the project or its location which are capable of avoiding or substantially lessening any significant effects of the project, even if these alternatives would impede to some degree the attainment of the project objectives, or would be more costly. (Section 15126.6(b)) ● The range of potential alternatives shall include those that could feasibly accomplish most of the basic objectives of the project and could avoid or substantially lessen one or more of the significant effects. (Section 15126.6(c)) ● The specific alternative of “no project” shall also be evaluated along with its impact. (Section 15126.6(e)(1)) ● The alternatives shall be limited to ones that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project.

    WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Fisherman’s Warf and the Piers + North Beach Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built in 1978. The marina is also home to the floating Forbes Island restaurant. The sea lions at Pier 39 have become a tourist attraction in their own right. Although the reason for their migration to the pier *** Pier 39 Warren Simmons Pier 39 is unclear, the refurbishing of the docks in September 1989 required the removal of all boats from that area, leaving large open spaces for the sea lions to move into. Once the project was completed, boat owners returned, but did their best to navigate around the sea lions; no efforts were made to encourage the new guests to leave. Aquarium of the Bay was built in 1996 as an aquarium. It added additional attractions to the original building and has 273 species and more than 60,000 fish. Sharks circle overhead, manta rays sweep by and seaweed sways all around at the Aquarium of the Bay, where you * Aquarium of the Bay ?

General admission $27.95. Mon-Sun (10am-6pm) A few California sea lions began “hauling out” on PIER 39’s K-Dock shortly after the Loma Prieta earthquake hit San Francisco in October 1989. By January 1990, the boisterous barking pinnipeds started to *** Sea Lion Colony - Pier 39 arrive in droves and completely took over K-Dock, much to the exasperation of PIER 39’s Marina tenants.

    April 12, 2018 Mr. Joseph Lhota Chairman Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2 Broadway New York, NY 10004 Re: Selected Safety and Security Equipment at Train Stations Report 2017-S-84 Dear Mr. Lhota: Pursuant to the State Comptroller’s authority as set forth in Article X, Section 5 of the State Constitution and Section 2803 of the Public Authorities Law, we examined selected safety and security equipment at train stations at the Staten Island Railway, a unit of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, for the period January 1, 2014 to September 12, 2017. The objective of our audit was to determine whether the Staten Island Railway has taken appropriate action to ensure that equipment, such as cameras and Customer Assistance Intercoms, are working, tested, maintained, and monitored. Background Staten Island Railway (SIR) is a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Administratively, SIR is a separate operating unit, reporting to New York City Transit’s (Transit) Department of Subways. SIR operates a single rapid transit line that runs the length of Staten Island (about 14 miles) from St. George Terminal to the southern terminal at Tottenville. SIR’s management oversees capital projects at its 21 train stations, maintains the stations’ structural components, and ensures that security equipment installed at the stations is working, monitored, and tested. As of June 8, 2017, SIR had 199 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, 42 stand-alone cameras, and 43 Customer Assistance Intercoms (CAI) – intended for customer use in emergencies – at an estimated cost of approximately $21 million for the new system, excluding the stand-alone cameras.

  • Memorandum T ^ ^ ^ L-8 9-63 TO
    UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT R^f-R°AD RETIREMENT BOARD .. r i j u n / iyoy Memorandum T ^ ^ ^ L-8 9-63 TO . Director of Compensation and Certification from : Deputy General Counsel SUBJECT: Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority Employer Status This is to notify you that pursuant to a request by Mr. Albert C. Cosenza, Vice President and General Counsel of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority (SIRTOA), I have determined that SIRTOA ceased to be an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) effective September 21, 1987. SIRTOA has previously been ruled to be an employer under the Acts with service creditable from July 1, 1971. See Legal Opinion L-71-177. The evidence in file shows that in 1970 the City of New York purchased from the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Company (Railway Company) , a subsidiary of the Baltimore St Ohio Railroad, a 14.5 mile length of track on Staten Island, New York, stretching from St. George to Tottenville. The City intended to conduct commuter rail service over the line. The Railway Company retained another 16.7 miles of track on Staten Island, and obtained from the City freight service trackage rights over the St. George - Tottenville line. Freight service was estimated at the time to be 7,000 cars annually. The City agreed to maintain the line for the joint use of commuter and freight service. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) of New York City formed SIRTOA as an instrumentality to operate the line. SIRTOA requested a determination as to its status as an employer under the RRA and RUIA.
