Challenges ƒ How to maintain what’s working ƒ Poor pedestrian conditions Existing sidewalks C E N T R A L S O M A

Proposal ƒ Maintain much of the zoning ƒ Replace industrial zoning ƒ Support SoMa-style buildings ƒ Focus height Areas of Increased Intensity C E N T R A L S O M A

Growth Potential Assumes 75% of full buildout through 2040 C E N T R A L S O M A

Integrating Land Use and the Transportation Network 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 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 C E N T R A L S O M A
