This problem can be remedied by having a few trains per hour stop at the King St station. These people will have to board another train to continue to the transit center. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. This train would be less crowded during commute hours, and may even be preferable for those whose final stop is before downtown. It is more likely to be a local train, allowing express trains the priority to just continue their route into the city.
The best long-term solution is to continue to dig under the bay all the way to Alameda Station, build some housing, and continue to Oakland. The train can then split to go North to Berkeley/Sacramento or continue East to the new Oakland A's stadium and Jack London Sq. That would be what a global A-class city would do. You wouldn't have to build CAHSR north to Sacramento like previously planned, it could simply continue from SF along existing Amtrak lines. |
The Starbucks at the Salesforce Tower just opened today (5th floor). This has direct access to the park.
Salesforce workers are able to go on the Transbay Center Park... but not too far from the Starbucks. |
Retail leasing update at the board meeting today!
A lot of detail here on repairs progress for anyone interested: http://tjpa.org/uploads/2019/03/Item...te-3-14-19.pdf http://tjpa.org/uploads/2019/03/Item...esentation.pdf https://i.imgur.com/kqpv5hbh.png https://i.imgur.com/rsoFKW4h.png |

Are they actually working on fixing the cracked beams in this thing yet? Or are they still just talking and writing reports about it?

This reddit thread has several great pictures of the new beams.

Well, at least after a wet winter with no humans trafficing around stomping on things, I'd expect the greenery on the roof to be nicely grown. |

Noticed the support structures were gone on Fremont St this afternoon.

Update to the crumbling path on top of the Transit Center.

Hopefully the Concrete they pour will last a little longer. |

^^Yeah, but building a walking path shouldn't be the toughest engineering job on the planet. What's the walkway on New York's "highline" made of? Just copy it.

It says above that the TJPA chose eco-sidewalks and then treated them with darkening agent, against the advice of the building contractors. They even noted that multiple warnings were placed. Whoever made those decisions will have a nice beefy pension waiting for them. The contractors do at least seem to be working hard on top of the park now.

Supports Removed
They have removed the large hydraulic supports from the Fremont St undercrossing. The First St supports still remain.

Confirmed July 1st at 6AM.
I'm planning to get there on July 1st at 6am and take a walk-through video like my last one so you guys can see if there have been any changes in the past year. Hopefully I can ride the gondola as well. I'll see if I can get enough shots to do another montage video too. I'm going to use a mirrorless camera now. My previous videos were made from my iPhone X lol |
