Transbay Terminal Project Input Sought
Cecilia M. Vega Saturday, February 11, 2006 (SF Chronicle)
Management of the $4 billion Transbay Terminal replacement project is being called into question by San Francisco officials, who said “uncertainty persists as to what is the best way to proceed” despite years of planning. Mayor Gavin Newsom and Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, who also is chairman of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, said in a letter to the regional Transbay Joint Powers Authority this week that a separate group of city leaders, including the planning director and city administrator, has been appointed to come up with recommendations on how to proceed on the project.Issues such as funding plans and design objectives still need to be “fully understood” before any action should be taken on the project, the letter said.
The Transbay Terminal is one of the most costly development projects in San Francisco history. It calls for a new transit station with high-speed rail, Caltrain and bus connections, and a new neighborhood with housing, retail and offices. At 800 feet, it would change the city’s skyline.
