The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is looking for input on safety/traffic/pedestrian improvements as they design an alternative route for walking and bicycling parallel to the traffic-heavy Embarcadero. We encourage members to join the tour or check out SFMTA.com for more information to see the proposed changes to our neighborhood. View the fact sheet here.

Specifically, SFMTA wants specific feedback on the following:

• Which crossings pose the most challenges for people walking
• Where new/better curb management for passenger/goods loading is needed
• Considerations for whether to implement a one-way conversion of Vallejo Street between Sansome and Battery Streets

WHEN: Thursday, February 21, 2019 from 5:00-6:30 PM
WHERE: Corner of Battery Street and The Embarcadero (near Fog City Diner)

Walking Tour Details: The tour will start at the corner of Battery Street and The Embarcadero (near Fog City Diner), with the expected route to include walking between Sansome and Battery streets to Green, heading over to Vallejo, and then walking on Davis ending at Sydney G. Walton Square. The distance of the tour will be less than one mile, and the terrain will be flat and paved. Please wear comfortable shoes for walking and layer appropriately.

Join the Port of San Francisco at the third in a series of Seawall Community Meetings to learn more about the Embarcadero Seawall, explore seismic and flooding scenarios, and weigh-in on the Program goals for short and long-term waterfront resilience. The meeting will include an interactive mapping exercise, allowing us to dive deeper into the Seawall program framework and understand the unavoidable tradeoffs ahead. Refreshments served!

Last year, the Port of San Francisco circulated a Request for Interest (RFI) for development projects on various piers. The Port has received a number of preliminary ideas and is evaluating them now. The next major step will be to issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Before doing so, members of the Port’s Advisory Committees have been invited to a meeting on January 30 to discuss the process.

BCNA has representatives on the Northeast Waterfront Advisory Committee (NEWAG) who will be attending the January 30 meeting. We’d like to hear from you! If you have views or comments on the process, please feel free to send them to us at bcna@bcnasf.org or submit on our website’s contact form. You can also submit your comments directly to the Port here.
