Eastern Neighborhoods Transportaton Implementation Planning Study

ew households and 13,000 new jobs into the study area over the next 25 years. EN TRIPS has been collecting and analyzing data in the transportation network of San Francisco’s Eastern Neighborhoods, which include Eastern SoMa, the Mission, Showplace Square/Potrero Hill and the Central Waterfront together with surrounding high-growth areas of Western SoMa, Transbay District, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay. These neighborhoods also contain key local and regional transit service, including Muni bus and light rail, BART, Caltrain and future High-Speed Rail. The area’s combined development potential and rich transit access present a tremendous opportunity to create integrated, mixed use, transit-rich neighborhoods. EN TRIPS is planning for area wide circulation improvements, developing detailed concepts for modal coordination and street design along priority corridors, and creating guidance for recurring transportation challenges throughout the study area. EN TRIPS will also include transit planning and policy recommendations for modes within the study area including private shuttles, bicycles, pedestrians, parking and goods movement in coordination of city-wide programs such as Transportation Demand Management (TDM). EN TRIPS has completed its existing and future conditions technical analyses to understand current transportation opportunities and constraints, and to then evaluate impacts to transportation within the study area based on the anticipated increase in land use

At the community meeting held in February 2011, the EN TRIPS team made a presentation of findings from the technical analyses and presented initial potential priority corridors.
