Was this traffic analyzed in the DEIR? Including traffic that skips this intersection and goes into Potrero Hill (e.g., via Arkansas, Pennsylvania) to use other onramps? The assessment in the EIR did review this on-ramp intersection and don’t project it would be gridlocked to the point of failure. I attach some key figures and tables that show how the ramps (look for Southbound 280 at Mariposa) were assessed as existing conditions and as future condition with a basketball game. This is not meant to be a proxy for reviewing the document’s summaries in more detail, so I also attach this link to help: http://www.gsweventcenter.com/Draft_SEIR_and_Appendices/Vol_1_GSW_MB_DSEIR.pdf Can we restripe this intersection of Mariposa and the 280 onramp to make it more clear and efficient for drivers? Adam and I observed and photographed the way this odd intersection is controlled and striped after the meeting. We would like to hear more from Booster member Walker Bass about what he explicitly suggests – I sent an email to him about follow ups. I don’t see why SFMTA couldn’t support improvements that would make this work better. Can you provide the operating cost figures for the changes to Muni lines 22 and 33, and how much the proposed Muni line 11 would be? My colleagues at SFMTA can do that – I cc Sean Kennedy of Muni Forward to elaborate if needed – but these Muni lines changes (along with about 50 others) were proposed independently from the Warriors Arena changes. Like Central Subway and the BRT line on 16 th Street, the 22 and the 33 changes were already proposed and cleared before the Warriors Project, so they are already assumed. They don’t figure into the agreements we DO have with the Warriors (e.g., the $8.8 million of service changes (like extra Muni rail and bus service and he use of PCOs) that the Event Center is projected to generate. However, we DID consult that Fully-Allocated Service Planning Model used by the “Muni Forward” planners to calculate the Warriors costs. This Model produces cost estimates for proposed changes to Muni, and not only include the labor and fuel, but also the maintenance and life-cycle assumptions behind the operation of each line. Update on planning for Evens regarding the Residential Parking Permit project for Dogpatch? My staff Erin Miller met this week to review and plan for this requested help from Dogpatch - with SFMTA parking staff. I’m happy to check back with you or you can with me to see how this is going. Given that the Arena wouldn’t open until at least a few more years, we have some time, but it’s not too early to work on this kind of proposal with Dogpatch. Update on the proposal for a Ferry Terminal at 16 th Street Adam and I met with WETA last month and I talked to WETA planner Kevin Connolly this week: a study is well underway, supported by the Port and WETA (which serves Oakland, Alameda, Harbor Bay, Vallejo, South SF, and soon Richmond and Berkeley). We also need to bring Golden Gate Transit into the conversation so service to Marin can be included. I’d be happy to have WETA join us at a future Boosters meeting when they have some substantial progress or info to report – probably later this summer or this Fall.
