SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL RAILWAY THIRD STREET LIGHT RAIL -- Public Hearing on Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report. The San Francisco Public Transportation Commission/Municipal Railway (Muni), in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), proposes to construct a new light rail transit (LRT) line into the southeastern quadrant of the City. The EIR/EIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts (physical changes to the environment) of three alternative projects: the No Project alternative, the No Build/Transportation System Management (TSM) alternative and the Light Rail alternative. The No Project alternative would perpetuate existing conditions in the Third Street Corridor; the No Build/TSM alternative would meet increased transit demand via expanded bus service; and the Light Rail alternative would extend Muni light rail service in two phases. The Initial Operating Segment (IOS) would extend light rail from King Street to the Bayshore Caltrain Station via Third, Fourth and Bayshore Boulevard. A later Central Subway phase would extend service northward to Chinatown via Third/Fourth, Geary and Stockton. In addition, a new light rail maintenance and storage facility would be constructed on one of two alternative sites.
Note: Written comments will be received at the Planning Department until 5:00 p.m., on May 19, 1998.

artwork required for buildings in the C-3 Districts can be provided. Currently, Planning

existing parapet), for a total of approximately 257,700 sq.ft. in building area. Two new
floors would be created where existing floors with high ceilings would be divided

building with frontage on both Dolores and 16th Streets. A new, two-story, building
would be constructed on the same part of the site. The building to be demolished was
designed by Willis Polk and Company, and was determined to appear eligible for listing
on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The building was used for child
care from about 1912, until the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. A building constructed in
1984 would remain and continue to provide classrooms and other facilities for child care,
and two, one-story, 960-sq.-ft. temporary buildings would be removed after project
construction. The new building would continue the child care use, adding about 50
children to the approximately 100 existing children, for a total of 150 children. There
would be a net reduction of about 2,830 sq. ft. at the site. The site served 150 children
prior to 1989, and now serves 100 children. The new building would enable the site to
serve 150 children, with approval of an amendment to the existing Conditional Use
authorization.
