SAN FRANCISCO'S I-280 TRANSFER CONCEPT PROGRAM. SESSION 15

San Francisco's Interstate Route 280 (I-280) was originally planned to link with the Embarcardero Freeway (SR-480) waterfront route and the Bay Bridge. The planned 1.4-mile connection to the Embarcadero Freeway was not built because of opposition to a waterfront freeway. In 1973 an amendment to the Federal Highway Act, Title 23, authorized withdrawal of any unconstructed segments of the Interstate System and substitution of these segments with other highway or transit projects. This amendment is the basis for developing the I-280 Transfer Concept Program (TCO). The I-280 TCP study is a two-year, four-phase study designed to provide decision-makers with the information necessary to select substitute transportation projects for the withdrawn segment of I-280. The first phase provided a definition of study goals and objectives and development of alternatives to be studied in more depth in later phases. The second phase consisted of detailed analysis of the alternatives concerning transportation, urban design, economic, social, and environmental impacts. Results of these studies were presented in 14 working papers. The study's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) then commented on the working papers and their comments are reflected in supplements to the working papers. The third phase of the study is the preparation of a Draft Alternative Analysis, Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Impact Report (AA/EIS/EIR) on the alternatives studied in Phase II. Material for this document draws extensively on information in the Phase II working papers. During the fourth and final phase of the study a public hearing will be held on the Draft AA/EIS/EIR. The authors of the AA/EIS/EIR will then respond to comments on the draft received from agencies and members of the public. They report documenting the selection made by the State, the City, and regional agencies participating in the study. (Author)
