The amendment increases TIDA’s previously authorized contribution by up to $500,000 to cover the joint trench work so that trench construction can be accelerated within the West Side Bridges schedule.

Wei Zhang, TIDA infrastructure manager, described the West Side Bridges project as a major multimillion‑dollar roadway and retaining‑wall construction effort that replaces seismically deficient viaduct structures, improves roadway geometry and connects to McCulloch and Treasure Island Road. SFCTA is the lead agency and general contractor work is underway; TIDA previously authorized funding MOUs in 2023. Zhang said the joint trench scope will tie into existing PUC power and DT conduits near the intersection of Treasure Island Road and McCulloch and will allow the new road and lighting to be energized and DT to pull communications through the corridor.

The amendment increases TIDA’s financial contribution from $3,505,000 to no more than $4,050,000 (an increase “no more than $500,000” as described to the board) and obligates SFCTA to secure required city permits and incorporate the joint trench work into its contract. Zhang and SFCTA consultant Diane Stanhauser said the joint trench estimate is approximately $500,000 and that including it in the contractor’s scope will accelerate delivery of power, streetlights and DT conduits.

Board members asked about small‑business and local hiring expectations on the project; SFCTA staff said they will report on goals and tracking when they present a fuller West Side Bridges update to the board in September or October. A motion to approve the amendment was made and seconded and the board voted in favor. No specific vote counts were recorded in the public transcript.

The approval enables SFCTA to proceed with joint trench permitting and construction as part of the West Side Bridges project; SFCTA and TIDA staff said they will provide a fuller status update and small‑business/local‑hire reporting at a future board meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jul 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","TIDA authorized an amendment to two 2023 memoranda of understanding that increases TIDA’s contribution by up to $500,000 so the San Francisco County Transportation Authority can include a joint trench (power, telecom and streetlight conduits) in the West Side Bridges construction contract.","taxTitle","San Francisco City, San Francisco County, California","taxId",5751,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510877,"TIDA board conditionally accepts Phase 1 of Cityside Park; staff to confirm completion before public opening",2529,4223000,6752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9&start=4223&end=6752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9/thumbnail_4223000.jpg","/articles/6510877/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/TIDA-board-conditionally-accepts-Phase-1-of-Cityside-Park-staff-to-confirm-completion-before-public-opening","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510877-304ccada450b05980c20811dfa43ab9d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442846&Signature=RYBuy6SsAj0GV4DGhWKfLCOe9WQHlV-YlTS2xcluSeRHrlmXpqxD0QC8j5FzRn7qhP1U3pSQruct4oDfTeTNjgxUYnuuiZ9HBAocPDHzOEFKQGxL5gAQJCWG6Gzo4YkFXq0IPK6CVdga7znUMILPY05sK2xLygkOsC18Qd~VUuBPh~ekO7msEKf6QosAyCTSwdp3FD-STLzxTAt9fcVtl1M2BoWApj2hSxY~eRQ~C-StK6~KpKhhThHcJIKpqev1K73CERdjgtra5plHT0AetEnvjiNSBYdWZCx2sffLLB2oUx1GGmXqoOmab0-yDCdnyudGTDsnwoSrUOKTeWOA2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Treasure Island Development Authority board voted July 9 to accept Phase 1 of Cityside Park, authorizing staff to open the park once San Francisco Public Works issues a notice of completion and a Public Works order and the TIDA director confirms readiness for public use. The motion included board direction for a staff walk‑through before final acceptance and requests for additional interim improvements at the park’s northern edge and nighttime lighting of the installed Ned Kahn artwork.

Joey Bendisini and Peter Somerville of TIDA staff presented the design and the operations and maintenance (O&M) plan for Cityside Park Phase 1. Staff described the park footprint — a waterfront promenade connecting the ferry plaza to Ninth Street, a central event lawn with a stage backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge, barbecue and picnic areas, bioswales for stormwater treatment, and the canopy art “Canopy of Sky” by Ned Kahn. Staff told the board that a notice of completion is expected from Public Works in August 2025 and that the developer plans removal of fencing and a grand opening on Sept. 13, 2025, if final inspections and establishment of plantings allow.

TIDA’s interim maintenance contractor (Rubicon) will carry out landscaping and horticultural establishment work through FY2026; Rec and Park will assume maintenance responsibility beginning July 1, 2026. Peter Somerville described planting typologies (coastal terrace, coastal strand, coastal scrub), bioswale care, tree staking and arborist oversight, and the event‑lawn watering and repair regime. Staff said some landscaped areas are still in establishment and that they will rely on seasonal watering, invasive removal and ongoing maintenance to protect plantings during the first two establishment years.

Board members voiced several concerns before accepting the park: ensuring the event lawn is sufficiently established before a heavy public opening, adding a graceful transition and interim landscaping between Phase 1 and undeveloped Phase 2 property at the park’s north end, monitoring the planted eucalyptus row for wind and root issues, and installing focused lighting for the Ned Kahn sculpture so it reads at night from a distance. President Faye San and Director Linda Richardson asked staff to coordinate a final walk‑through and, if necessary, delay a public opening until the lawn is adequately established. The board amended the acceptance motion to add that staff conduct an on‑site review and return with any required corrective items or recommendations.

The board voted in favor of the amended acceptance resolution. The acceptance was conditioned on the issuance of the Public Works notice of completion and Public Works order and on the Treasure Island director’s authorization to open the park.","The TIDA board voted to accept Cityside Park Phase 1 contingent on Public Works issuing a notice of completion and a Public Works order; board asked staff to do a final walk‑through and requested additional interim improvements at the park’s north edge and lighting for the Ned Kahn sculpture.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510883,"Consultants project up to 6.9 million annual park visits at full build‑out; board stresses interim activation and transportation access",1330,2058000,3388000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9&start=2058&end=3388","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9/thumbnail_2058000.jpg","/articles/6510883/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Consultants-project-up-to-69-million-annual-park-visits-at-full-buildout-board-stresses-interim-activation-and-transportation-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510883-db0ee18e99f5307f1dd9d12855859e01/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442846&Signature=VybRxwowVr1TooLedWN1zKk9BrgXlGLHuvube-EbwJw11Ly8dBCRLlHlYHzJcQhD90ngKGca2hkadzEA1IxnUalLPHt14NFUom54IQ5JbXiPKgS~9CellgYlDbxZmbThOsodIgxeIt8VMdpNoVAgl~dhB-sfO9P7Eb71IB-66RmQath5O3Kbr1KuAMKaAMHRe-2ro4wwyk1ppWPQbJpz7Q8qOnxk5UT0fRazqQ3oOFOn~NZhI33ujeh3kHUa2O7F5dBISZqnV5hFqhyGUl5nCyzzfDtKMC~b7IhTJeqIFR-mhrEodFfYUyMW-Zgg~tbnlaUIcRt7UE2qiLvkmC2vkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","TIDA staff and consultants presented preliminary findings on July 9 from a visitor projections and nonprofit‑partnership study for Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island parks, including low/medium/high visitation scenarios that range from about 4.4 million to 6.9 million annual visits at full build‑out (projected year 2042 in the study).

Jessica Look, senior planner with TIDA, introduced the project, which is led by 1 Treasure Island with consultants Blue Point Planning and ORCA Consulting. Lauren Schmidt of Blue Point and Al Shaclet of ORCA described methodology and early findings: the team used comparable parks, Rec and Park data, and mobility/visitation data to create typologies (neighborhood parks, sports parks, urban farms, plazas, gardens/trails, dog parks) and then produced seasonal, daily and hourly visitation projections.

Key findings presented included: build‑out annual visitation between 4.4 million (low) and 6.9 million (high); a July peak month estimated at roughly 633,000 visits; average weekday daily visitation in the tens of thousands and weekend daily visitation rising by about 56% over weekdays; and an estimated peak concurrent park population of about 12,000 people during the 1–3 p.m. window on a July weekend at build‑out. The consultants emphasized that different park types will draw different market segments: neighborhood parks and dog parks will be used primarily by island residents, while plazas, gardens and urban core parks will attract more Bay Area visitors and tourists.

Board members focused on near‑term activation, programming and transportation access. President Faye San and Director Linda Richardson urged the consultants and TIDA to emphasize interim activation (events, mobile programming and marketing) for the next several years before large facilities come online. Richardson suggested the study consider arts programming and conservancy/trust models to support long‑term activation and fundraising. Several commissioners said ferry and alternative transit capacity are vital to realizing visitation projections.

Consultants said they will deliver a final report in September and refine recommendations on nonprofit partnerships, programming models, transportation implications and near‑term activation strategies.","A consultant team reported preliminary visitor projections and programming priorities for Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island parks, projecting 4.4–6.9 million annual visits at build‑out and urging planning for interim activation and ferry/bus access.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510888,"1 Treasure Island reports food pantry, construction‑training graduation and air monitoring pilot",180,111000,291000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9&start=111&end=291","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9/thumbnail_111000.jpg","/articles/6510888/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/1-Treasure-Island-reports-food-pantry-constructiontraining-graduation-and-air-monitoring-pilot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510888-8aff9e99ef3e8bf96d2a3ff58cfc4f80/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442846&Signature=QxVBfDBClwYGZ9mv~PXatYQqlWSoUEchD3bRtW-vW5q-QnP4JQzi9jNcVjo1Q6plDfuWttmjVOxN8UgRxGAwdPhMYAD33icwFq6ibMWNfQtM0fC7DUynwXFsOKIUWo6E4eaNM2INCHOMgnuOo~gjlQUbPpQGM0KNLNmRcfWlhS0NxpR0ln06xg7PHKqiVCghrKOSYNjcwvEo1EE7oosjh9QzXySBm2VAXMzSzv6kLFJO3TueHDorjvmj8LyabLWBy7Ij177AEZCFyuM~gXeTFkqHJVlROMxagwT5-KJsnU0MVooFXuEr9lfmTqvHtaTJrY0JrANRTheYduPvvJGxsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of the neighborhood nonprofit 1 Treasure Island reported to the Treasure Island Development Authority on July 9 about ongoing resident services and community programs on the island.

Nela Gonzales, representing 1 Treasure Island, said the organization’s food pantry is “buzzing,” the group served about 200 households at a July 4 event and the nonprofit celebrated the graduation of the 20th cohort of its construction training program. Gonzales noted that graduates from cohorts 5 through 20 attended the ceremony and that one former graduate is working for Bigge Crane as the company’s first female crane operator.

Gonzales said 1 Treasure Island is planning National Night Out for Aug. 5, intends to report back to the board in September on ambassador and wellness programming, and is participating in a pilot air‑pollution study that placed small monitoring vehicles on the island. Gonzales said the nonprofit will report findings from the air monitoring once available.

Board members praised the program. Director Linda Richardson recalled attending graduations and said the resident‑training component is explicitly part of the project’s development agreement (DDA), describing the construction training pipeline as a “game changer” for residents who secure jobs and stay in the region.

No formal action was taken. The report was informational and the board encouraged continued partnership between TIDA and 1 Treasure Island.","1 Treasure Island briefed the TIDA board on neighborhood programs: a busy food pantry, a construction training program with its 20th graduating cohort, National Night Out planning and pilot air pollution monitoring on the island.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510893,"Treasure Island developers say 168-slip marina is permitted; board asks for financing proof and performance milestones",487,979000,1466000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9&start=979&end=1466","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346119-492ad75c51dfd0471021a4bb38fbfad9/thumbnail_979000.jpg","/articles/6510893/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Treasure-Island-developers-say-168-slip-marina-is-permitted-board-asks-for-financing-proof-and-performance-milestones","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510893-b5126e50718dd7c637986d29d869f152/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442846&Signature=JKP33FpTE0SnTZKLHdCddE5zdMw6vQ2wW~N3CYB2JW71BVkg-qjyIvoW8TFOvHJCnwChHqVwGomneVxkCI1jODnfPi7YVhLGJ1PI0WHviKy5lO~e3hsLgFiA~YgerGJlCDOC~ZjV19WVwSSfVjb4PhPsGt90KZy1vNJKPQc9dCYZgEvegZBvWDBernKEoKzVrNgGj8uTxnxuVEMqluLHO6US499Ab2URc~P8UUSpyl6w98Q~ueWqSp9QM7CFF6wFBwWdFCsID9ngSWaLXPlviA7BOiq0n50d4igsR74hBXG4IlCxh9dsd7WFcIU2i1cMnsBTy6hzDgpEBs~nFTeeRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Treasure Island Enterprises representatives told the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) board on July 9 that the long‑planned 168‑slip marina for Clipper Cove has full regulatory approvals and financing arrangements are expected to be finalized within weeks. Board members said they want written evidence of financing and a timetable of performance milestones before construction begins.

Jay Wallace, a principal with Treasure Island Enterprises, said the project “continues to be 168 slips on 4 gangways” and that the developers recently received unanimous approval from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), and have approvals from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “We are fully engaged with our permitting process,” Wallace said, adding the team expects to finalize financing “in the next couple of weeks.”

The board’s chair, President Faye San, and other commissioners said the marina is strategically important to Treasure Island’s master plan and urged the developers to put performance milestones and proof of financing on the record. San asked staff to prepare an agreement specifying milestones such as completing permits by the end of the year, starting construction in mid‑2026, and finishing by November 2026 — the seasonal window BCDC allows for in‑water work.

Commissioner Linda Richardson noted the project’s long history — the developer said the effort began in 1999 — and said the board needs assurance that the financing is secure. “If you cannot be successful, we need to move on,” Richardson said. Several commissioners emphasized the project’s role as an economic engine for the island and the need to protect public access, particularly for the established sailing center.

Developers told the board they intend to build all 168 slips in a single phase and that the marina layout was negotiated with the sailing center and supervisors to preserve the swim zone and remain distant from eelgrass areas. Wallace said the team met with the San Francisco Treasure Island Community Development utility crew to integrate marina utilities with the master development, and that pile driving will be limited to the June–November window required by BCDC.

Public commenters who live on Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island expressed support for the marina and urged the board to require written financing proof and clear milestones. Board members said staff and the developer should return with details for a firm performance schedule and financing documentation, and several commissioners invited the developer to provide regular updates as permits and financing are finalized.

The board did not take a formal vote on the marina at the July 9 meeting; members requested a follow‑up presentation with specific milestones and financing documentation before authorizing any timeline or other enforcement steps.","Treasure Island Enterprises told the TIDA board the long‑planned 168‑slip marina has secured required permits and near‑final financing, and the board pressed the developer for written financing proof and a performance schedule with construction milestones.","actionData","errors"]
