Drawing snagged from TJPA documents The Transbay Transit Center is probably the largest public transit project we’ll see in the area for quite some time to come. I hope you’ll join me for an information meeting about the area hosted by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi and others from the Transbay JPA on Monday, March 26, 2007… Keep reading

The smiles, the music, garlic fries vendors, and people admiring the outfits and talents of our neighbors just makes… Keep reading

One of the main reasons I wanted to organize a neighborhood association in Rincon Hill and the Transbay area is because of my concern about pedestrian safety in the area. Our roads in this section of town along with further west in SOMA are pretty long, courtesy of a history of trains needing lotsa space… Keep reading
