Waterfront Plan Policies

Southern Waterfront:

  • Protect industrial access (roadway, rail,

water)

  • Coordinate with expanded public access

Mixed Use Development:

  • Promote public transportation
  • Efficient parking
  • Promote pedestrian uses and public access
  • Promote water transportation

Coordination and Partnerships

  • America’s Cup People Plan → Waterfront

Transportation Assessment

  • Jefferson Street Phase 1 Project
  • Coordinated street management

(Port, SFMTA, PUC, SF Public Works)

  • Ballpark Transportation Coordinating Committee
  • Embarcadero Enhancement Project & Vision Zero
slide-18

Transportation Policies to Consider

  • Embarcadero Enhancement Project & Vision Zero
  • West side of The Embarcadero public realm
  • Transportation Demand Management in major

development project planning

  • Port Seawall seismic project: protect BART/Muni

subways and The Embarcadero

  • Continued transportation coordination (SFMTA, SFCTA,

OEWD, Planning Department)

  • Continued partnerships to expand public ferry and

water-taxi berthing and operations

Historic streetcar service along the Waterfront:

E-Line supplements popular F-line service

What its providing

  • Supplement to F-line Embarcadero

service (20-22k daily passengers)

  • Direct access between northeast

waterfront + Caltrain/ballpark

  • 15 minute frequency service 10-

7pm In the works

  • Running time adjustments
  • Permanent signage platforms
  • Ticket vending machines

Negotiated TDM plans

Robust TDM Plans Examples:

  • Transit subsidies
  • Carshare/bikeshare

Memberships

  • Family amenities: storage for carts, carseats &

strollers, cargo bikes

  • Information and marketing
  • Parking supply and parking management
  • Auto mode share or trip cap & compliance

Shaping Trips in Existing Land Uses Mechanisms:

  • Property owner/employer/destination-provided

(voluntarily)

  • Lease terms
  • Transportation Management Association

Examples:

  • Sustainable transportation allowance
  • Parking management (cash-out, unbundling,

pricing)

  • Communications/information
  • Campaigns and incentives
