San Francisco 2025: Will We Tear Down the 280? | Potrero Hill

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The San Francisco Planning invite you for a discussion on the Railyard Alternatives and I-280 Boulevard Feasibility Study (RAB). Learn about findings from the first phase of this study and opportunities to participate as they work toward managing growth and improving neighborhood connectivity. Light refreshments will be provided

The Railyard Alternatives and I-280 Boulevard Feasibility Study (RAB) is a multi-agency program studying transportation and land use alternatives in the most rapidly growing areas of the City: South of Market, Mission Bay, and Showplace Square/Lower Potrero Hill. In anticipation of the Downtown Rail Extension (DTX), the electrification of Caltrain, and High-Speed Rail, the City is studying how best to coordinate these projects in a unified vision for the area rather than building each project independently.

Free event. Registration is not mandatory, but an RSVP helpful to ensure we have enough materials and refreshments., but

The first phase of the RAB has prepared conceptual design alternatives for four different project components, in addition to a study of overall land use considerations and opportunities for placemaking:

1. Make I-280 a Boulevard
2. Value Engineer the Proposed Downtown Rail Extension (DTX) alignment
3. Create a Loop Track/Extension to the East Bay to Enhance Operational Capacity at the Transbay Transit Center
4. Reconfigure, Relocate, or Substantially Reduce the 4th and King Railyard
5. Create Placemaking, Neighborhood Connectivity, Employment and Transit Oriented Development Opportunities

Phase II of this study will combine options from each of the components from Phase I and conduct further analysis of up to three refined alternatives before a preferred alternative is determined.
