East Span Replacement

MTC/Bay Area Toll Authority Motion on Transbay Terminal - 6/24/98

Return to main Bay Bridge page

In order for the Bay Area Toll Authority to develop its position on whether to request the extension of the seismic retrofit surcharge to provide toll bridge funds for replacement or relocation of the Transbay Terminal, staff is directed to prepare a long-term capital and operating cost analysis of three options to improve the Transbay Terminal:

• renovate the existing facility;
• replace the existing facility with a new facility on the same site;
• relocate the existing facility to a new facility at Howard and Beale Streets

BATA requests that Caltrans consider delaying demolition of the east ramp to the existing facility until the study results are known. BATA further requests AC Transit, the City and County of San Francisco, Caltrans, and other affected stakeholders to meet and confer concurrent with the conduct of the cost analysis to seek consensus on a supported option for improvement of the Transbay Terminal. BATA reserves its right, however, to make the final decision on the expenditure of toll bridge funds that it is responsible for on improvements related to the Transbay Terminal.
