Project Impetus

Project Area

� Region expected to grow by 2 million people and 1 million jobs by 2040

� San Francisco expected to grow by 200,000 people and 190,000 jobs

� SoMa is transit-rich

� SoMa has development potential

C E N T R A L S O M A

Existing sidewalks

Challenges

� How to maintain what’s working

� Poor pedestrian conditions

C E N T R A L S O M A

Proposal

� Maintain much of the zoning

� Replace industrial zoning

� Support SoMa-style buildings

� Focus height

Areas of Increased Intensity

C E N T R A L S O M A

Growth PotentialAssumes 75% of full buildout through 2040

C E N T R A L S O M A

Existing network is not sufficient today and therefore not sufficient for proposed land use

New network concepts reallocate right-of-way to support a shift toward more sustainable trip generation

Transportation Network Concept Development

C E N T R A L S O M A

Transportation Network Principles

1. Create a safe, convenient, attractive environment for pedestrians

2. Design transit routes to serve the area and improve performance

3. Improve bicycling conditions

4. Employ Transportation Demand Management Measures

5. Restrict curb cuts

6. Where and when necessary, accommodate regional and through traffic
