We believe all the components are set in place, although this version only contains parts that we feel comfortable at this point in releasing, as the rest is in working form. We have completed our field work, continue to do research at local archives, and are in process of building the recording forms for individual properties, starting from prior recorded information, and including our own research and evalutions. The "boundaries recommendation" is not yet included; we are developing a graphic representation which we will present at the meeting. We look forward to input from the Commission on this. The first section of the historical narrative is provided for the Commission to get a sense of the narrative style we are proceeding with for this study. We are presently only showing the narrative context up to the beginning of the twentieth century, as we are still in “working" mode for the rest. The discussion regarding the character-defining features of these eras will be folded in as a part of our final narrative. Maps, images, will be inserted later once the narrative nears completion. Examples of the DRAFT DPR523 forms will also be provided to the Commission at the meeting. The District Record will be created at the completion of the final draft of the context statement.

The compact core of commercial buildings has remained intact for a millennia, and maintains the sense of a special urban place that is clearly understood as “Downtown Berkeley.” This exists today, notwithstanding changes that have occurred to individual properties since World War II; changes that has modernized and rehabilitated many of the aging buildings built during the early parts of the twentieth century. The introduction of the Bay Area Rapid Transit to the city’s core forty-five years ago helped to avert a decline that was occurring in other older San Francisco Bay Area downtown city centers. The post-war period of rapid suburbanization within the Bay Area metropolitan communities saw many downtown areas of older cities, such as Oakland, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, gutted of their historic identity. The transit hub, serving both the residents of Berkeley and commuting students enrolled at the University of California, has kept the commercial core populated and active. While other medium to large cities throughout the nation lost their historic urban cores during the years of federally funded Urban Renewal, or state enabled redevelopment financing programs, Berkeley continues to enjoy an intact urban setting that is rooted in the origins of the city. Within the downtown core area, the historic setting has evolved incrementally with the evolution of the city as a whole, rather than through drastic changes brought on by the boom and bust cycles of the economy. This study, initially described in grant applications as the Downtown Shattuck Avenue Commercial Corridor Refined Historic Context and Intensive-level Survey Project, derived from Berkeley’s Downtown Area Plan Environmental Impact Report. As a part of that 2012 adopted Plan, the section Historic Preservation and Urban Design Policy HD-2.2: Historic Subareas specifically recommends

  • As a Longtime Fan of NHK World's Japan Railway Journal, I've Seen
    ISSUE 3 MAY 3, 2020 watching. Spuzz’s 2003 review also points out that there is even “a cute animated character which adds NOTHING to the film.” Who could pass on that? During World War II, the Key System temporarily expanded and ran trains directly to the Richmond Shipyard from 40th and San Pablo. The railroad was built using scrap material and decommissioned New York subway cars. The Key Route’s reign ended in 1958, and its privately-held services were replaced by public transit agencies AC Transit (which bought out the Key System) and later BART. P.S. if you want to have a good time with conspiracy theories, check out the demise of the Key Route as a factor in the GM Streetcar Conspiracy, which weirdly I had never realized is the basis for the plot of the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?! Vestiges of the Key Route still linger on in the East Bay. I was most excited to learn that the mysterious tunnel behind the Target on the West Oakland-Emeryville border was actually a subway for Key System trains (and now leads to a sewer that is part of East Bay MUD). As a longtime fan of NHK World’s Japan train hopper serial killer who struck on NOTE: the Key System also included Railway Journal, I’ve seen the our railroad line here in 1996. Finally, ferries, which leads to my perpetual aftermath of many Shinkansen I did a deep dive into historic East Bay question: WHY IS THERE NO FERRY SERVICE derailments. I never thought I’d see railways.

  • Item #15-2-2 Transportation Committee Action
    Item #15-2-2 Transportation Committee Action January 29, 2015 Unmet Transit Needs Findings for Sacramento Regional Transit District, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties, and the Cities Therein Issue: The Transportation Development Act (TDA) requires that SACOG, as the four-county Regional Transportation Planning Agency, make annual unmet transit needs findings for the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SRTD) and for jurisdictions eligible to use TDA funds. Jurisdictions outside of the SRTD are permitted to use TDA funds on street and road projects if they have filled all transit requests that meet SACOG’s adopted definitions of “unmet transit need” and “reasonable to meet.” Recommendation: That the Transportation Committee recommend that the Board: (1) approve the minutes of the five previously held public hearings on unmet transit needs in Sacramento County, including the SRTD and cities therein, and in Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties and the cities therein (see Attachments F-H), and of the public hearing held on January 29, 2015, before the SACOG Board of Directors (Attachment I); and (2) adopt the attached resolutions regarding unmet transit needs in each county, cities therein, and the SRTD. Discussion: State TDA statute established a Local Transportation Fund (LTF) for each county. LTF revenues are derived from 1/4 cent of the state retail sales tax and are returned to each county according to the amount of tax collected. LTF funds are apportioned to jurisdictions within each county on a population basis. In Sacramento County, the LTF apportioned to jurisdictions located within the SRTD may only be used for transit service.
