Quote from Transbay Redevelopment Area
“Design for Development”:
• “A number of unresolved issues of both local and wider
impact, such as the potential for Bus Rapid Transit on
Folsom and other technical and cost issues, need to be
studied before a streetscape and street configuration
scheme for Folsom Boulevard is settled” (p.4).
