DOYLE DRIVE REPLACEMENT, southern approach of US 101 to the Golden Gate

San Francisco, part of the Golden Date National Recreation Area. Project limits extend eastward along Doyle Drive for approximately 1.1 miles, from the Park Presidio Interchange to the proposed Presidio National Park Access in the vicinity of Girard Road. East of Girard Road, improvements would be made to Richardson Avenue in the vicinity of Lyon and Francisco Street under selected alternatives. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is conducting a Section 106 Review of the proposed replacement of Doyle Drive. The Focused Area of Potential Effect (APE) includes the Palace of Fine Arts, Doyle Drive, San Francisco National Cemetery, Park Presidio Boulevard, Richardson Avenue, and the cultural landscape and 270 historic resources in the Presidio National Historic Landmark District. At this time, Caltrans is seeking comments on the Findings of Effect. Five alternatives plus a No-Build Alternative are being considered for this undertaking; all except the No-Build Alternative will result in adverse effects to historic resources. The Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board (Landmarks Board) will, as a consulting party in the Section 106 review process, review and comment on the Findings of Effect, as described in the report dated August 13, 2002. A letter containing the comments of the Landmarks Board will be sent to the Director of Planning. The Director will then forward the comments of the Landmarks Board and the comments of the Planning Department to Caltrans, the lead agency.
