It would be awesome to see this happen, but perhaps building more subways (BART southern crossing, Geary subway, Van Ness subway, Central subway extension to North Beach/Marina/Presidio) should be higher priority. With the rebuilt Doyle Drive, we could build a big parking structure under the Presidio and have people take the subway to downtown.
As another poster mentioned, completing the 280-80/101 link in SOMA also has a high payoff. They're separated by less than three blocks - even a single lane tunnel in each direction would take a big load off SOMA streets. (Instead the current mayor wants to demolish the nortnern two miles of the 280, which is insanity)
- rsync 11y agoYes, I think SF desperately needs more subway, and given the choice, I would allocate resources to that (making the city healthier and more robust) than a tunnel through the city (which helps people get through the city). Presidio to Financial subway would be amazing. At some point, however, people north of the GGB need to get to SFO and while I, traveling solo, would be happy to park and ride in Marin (which I already do with the Marin Airporter) if I am a traveler who rented my car at SFO or if I am traveling with an entire family, you need the ability to drive to the airport...
