If there is better transit, more of those who live on Treasure Island and work downtown SF will likely take it. However, what makes you think most of those who will live on Treasure Island will work downtown? If other SF neighborhoods are any example, the majority of them do not work downtown and most of them need to drive to work.

The Rincon Hill Area Plan was passed in August 2005 with the notion that the streets need to be improved for pedestrian safety if they are requiring only 1 parking spot for every 2 dwelling units. Well, 6 years later there there isn’t a single crosswalk between 2nd Street and the waterfront and Market Street and Bryant Street (except maybe at the Ferry Building, if you can see the faded stripes) to help communicate to drivers that pedestrians use the roads too.nnNow, we have a couple of 600′ tall buildings and some 400′ tall buildings, and guess what …. the 12-Folsom bus service was cut from our neighborhood on December 5, 2009. So our 300 children and hundreds of seniors (some have lived here for 20 years or longer) have no convenient bus service that goes across South of Market to the grocery stores that are closest to our community. Sure, there is the T-Third metro (and N-Judah, Monday through Friday) that goes to Safeway in Mission Bay, but that’s 1/2 mile or further away for most Rincon Hill residents.nnThe Rincon HIll Neighborhood Association is trying to push the SFMTA, while they’re rushing through the America’s Cup “People Plan,” to at least paint the crosswalks with yellow ladders at 6 of our most dangerous intersections and to consider pedestrian exclusive cycles programmed into their traffic signals because we need the cars to stop and not whirl around the corners at 30 MPH+ to fall into one of 3-4 traffic lanes leading to the Bay Bridge – and hurt or kill one of us in the process.nnI’m very, very skeptical about any talk of expanded public transit based upon my experience in what is slated to be the most densely populated 55 acres in all of San Francisco once it is completely built out. Yes, people live in those high-rise and mid-rise towers you may see from your neighborhood … and yes, the SFMTA hasn’t changed the designs of our streets to reflect the 7,000+ folks already living here … and another 12,000 or so to come in the next ten years.

The Rincon Hill Area Plan was passed in August 2005 with the notion that the streets need to be improved for pedestrian safety if they are requiring only 1 parking spot for every 2 dwelling units. Well, 6 years later there there isn’t a single crosswalk between 2nd Street and the waterfront and Market Street and Bryant Street (except maybe at the Ferry Building, if you can see the faded stripes) to help communicate to drivers that pedestrians use the roads too.nnNow, we have a couple of 600′ tall buildings and some 400′ tall buildings, and guess what …. the 12-Folsom bus service was cut from our neighborhood on December 5, 2009. So our 300 children and hundreds of seniors (some have lived here for 20 years or longer) have no convenient bus service that goes across South of Market to the grocery stores that are closest to our community. Sure, there is the T-Third metro (and N-Judah, Monday through Friday) that goes to Safeway in Mission Bay, but that’s 1/2 mile or further away for most Rincon Hill residents.nnThe Rincon HIll Neighborhood Association is trying to push the SFMTA, while they’re rushing through the America’s Cup “People Plan,” to at least paint the crosswalks with yellow ladders at 6 of our most dangerous intersections and to consider pedestrian exclusive cycles programmed into their traffic signals because we need the cars to stop and not whirl around the corners at 30 MPH+ to fall into one of 3-4 traffic lanes leading to the Bay Bridge – and hurt or kill one of us in the process.nnI’m very, very skeptical about any talk of expanded public transit based upon my experience in what is slated to be the most densely populated 55 acres in all of San Francisco once it is completely built out.
