Can’t help but imagine what the aftermath would look like with all that underground stuff if an earthquake happened

Thanks — I have lived here for 30 years and always been so frustrated that BART doesn’t run to the Avenues — esp. when I had to drive to Cal for classes twice a week and when I want to get to SFO. What a big mistake the voters made. Well, hindsight is 20/20…my parents made the same one when they lived in Palo Alto back in the (60s? 70?) not sure when they voted) and refused to vote to have BART run down there… no one could see back then that there would ever be that much need! (i remember when 280 opened. It was EMPTY…)

I looked at the argument in favor of the proposal on page 22 of the voter pamphlet. It said that a garage would be for cars coming off the Golden Gate Bridge. I’m not sure how I would feel about funds spent on a parking garage, but it would ease the new demand for parking on neighborhood surface streets, just as the garage at the DeYoung & Academy of Sciences does today.

I find the underground parking interesting – do you think they were anticipating Marin people driving, parking and getting on BART?

New York City has has a great subway system since 1904. This should have been part of our history. It will hopefully be in our near future so we can get to work faster and ease traffic congestion in our neighborhood.

We’re lucky the voters had the sense to block this. Otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the 38.
