This is very interesting. I wonder why they dont have a high speed ferry between SF Airport and farflung bay area locales?

Ferries between the East Bay and Peninsula begin June 4 - San Jose Mercury News

hey has anyone heard anything about the oak to 9th project. Is it even still a thing or have they given up on it entirely. I have a feeling this project is one of those that will never actually get built.

It is such a big development with a 10+ year time frame......it is really hard to say what is happening and what will happen first.

well according to their original timetable oak to 9th should have had all phases completed by I think it was 2008 2009. I realize they got held up in court and what not but one would assume they would get right on it now that the market is coming back and construction costs are low.

That's really old data.....maybe when they first proposed it in the late 90s. They didn't even get preliminary approval until 2009 or so. And there aren't any EIRs. Last update I saw has a planned groundbreaking this year or early net year, phase 1 being offices I think.

It was even the site being proposed for the Berkeley lab new office. I was always under the impression it would be mixed use. Signature had new imagery with parks Nike paths offices and retail etc.

I remember it being brought up for the Berkeley labs, and it was always meant to be mixed use but i always though it was retail and restaurants with housing above and maybe offices on some ground level spaces. Didnt know that offices could incorporate an entire phase unto themselves. I will also admit i have been out of the loop on this particular project because if falls outside of the downtown area where i do most of my work. Its just a project i though had lots of promise for the city.
