Bay Area companies and community groups push for $16B transportation investment (San Jose Spotlight) 2. Will $100 billion transportation mega-measure be put at risk by SF supervisors? (San Francisco Chronicle) Bay Area companies and community groups push for $16B transportation investment (San Jose Spotlight) A group of 32 Bay Area organizations, from private tech companies to community groups, on Wednesday urged local lawmakers to take big, new strides to invest in transportation throughout the region. In a letter, signed by Alphabet-owned Waymo, San Francisco-based ridesharing and scooter companies Lyft and Lime alongside a slew of Bay Area bicycle coalitions, asked lawmakers to prioritize $16.32 billion in transportation initiatives in the coming decades. The group also suggested area leaders consider a new region-wide transportation tax measure to get those priory improvements moving. That ask comes amid chatter around the nine-county Bay Area about potential new funding initiatives for transportation in the coming years, said Emma Shlaes, policy director for the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. “We were just, in general, putting forward our thoughts for the next few decades so we don’t get left behind in the conversations that are going on at the regional level,” she said. “Sometimes the conversation is dominated by transit cars and highways.” While the letter could be interpreted as an open call to Bay Area leaders making decisions about transit and transportation, the group also specifically sent the framework to agencies tasked with battling traffic congestion, including the VTA, and to the mayors of major cities throughout the region, Shlaes said.

  • Title:​How San Francisco's Chinatown Got Ahead of The
    Title: How San Francisco’s Chinatown Got Ahead of the Coronavirus ​ Abstract: Despite being a densely populated neighborhood full of vulnerable people, San Francisco Chinatown was well prepared. The Story: SAN FRANCISCO — On Jan. 24, the eve of the Chinese New Year, Dr. Jian Zhang, the chief executive of San Francisco’s Chinese Hospital, saw an alarming photograph as she scrolled through her holiday greetings on WeChat. An old medical school colleague was about to join more than 100 other health care providers being rushed to Wuhan to help manage the coronavirus outbreak. Dr. Zhang immediately recognized the threat. “Twelve hours,” she recalled thinking. “We have direct flights from Wuhan to San Francisco, and it only takes 12 hours.” She knew those who were visiting family in China during the Lunar New Year would soon be back. A perfect storm seemed to be headed for the 22 square blocks that make up Chinatown, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the United States. Chinese Hospital, which Dr. Zhang has led since 2017, is an acute care facility in the heart of Chinatown. Many of the neighborhood’s older Chinese residents live in cramped single-room-occupancy hotels. Travel between Chinatown and China is constant. Dr. Zhang called Aaron Peskin, a San Francisco supervisor who represents Chinatown. “If we have an outbreak in Chinatown,” she told him, “it will be a nightmare of yours and mine.’’ But Chinatown has thus far held off the nightmare. Chinese Hospital admitted its first Covid-19 patient on March 26, three weeks after patients had been hospitalized in other parts of San Francisco.

Publication Date 2012-07-09 Supplemental Material https://escholarship.org/uc/item/387160wq#supplemental Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California THE CENTRAL SUBWAY PROJECT Ð San Francisco's Railway to Nowhere? By J.J. Barrow PART ONE: The Demise of a Freeway Leads to Light Rail Dreams Rather than spend tens of millions of dollars to save the unpopular Embarcadero Freeway after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, San Francisco tore the freeway down and put the Embarcadero Boulevard in its place. That economic decision set the stage for one of the most expensive transportation projects in the country: the $1.58 billion, 1.7 mile long Central Subway, an extension of the Third Street light rail line, to be constructed between Washington and Stockton streets in Chinatown to the 4th and King Street Caltrain station. This is a story about neighborhood power politics and federal dollars that led Muni into deficit spending, with costs in the future that may negatively affect transportation city-wide. And the subway project itself may not live up to its premise of transportation justice: to provide better, faster public transportation in the city's most densely populated neighborhood. "If the political will were there, Stockton Street could be improved in two years," said Gerald Cauthen, a member of SaveMuni, a group opposed to the subway, and a former transit engineer. "But the game is to get the money from Washington." The subway project is billed by Muni officials as the best solution to solve overcrowding on bus routes that serve the area, particularly the 30-Stockton and 45-Union-Stockton.
