The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Land Use and Transportation Committee held a hearing Monday to discuss the possibility of extending the Central Subway from its current Chinatown terminus to North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf. "The primary focus" should remain on pushing through two upcoming operations-funding measures for transit, explained District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter, who sits on the committee. "But we also need to give people something bigger and better to keep our city excited about what's next."
As we learned with the Central Subway project and the Van Ness Bus Lane Rapid transit project, San Francisco have nice things as long as we accept that fact that these nice things will take five or six years longer to complete than they were supposed to, and their costs will explode to two or three times their original budget.
