I like the idea of this area getting a distinct name, especially one that alludes to its nature as a central transit connection. for a long time there has not been much of distinction there, but seems like now there could/will be, and maybe a name will help foster that along.

The buildings at this intersection, including 1500-1580 Mission, are part of what the Planning Dept. is calling "The Hub" for planning purposes, just as are the ones on the block just north of Market.
Eventually (hopefully not that long) it will be a highrise "hub" as well as a transit hub, clearly distinct on the skyline.
