Following @SenFeinstein and my calls for a new “Southern Crossing,” MTC Executive Director Steve Heminger advised us that “MTC and our partners agree with the necessity to plan for a second Bay crossing.” and intend to begin the planning of this project.
Today, Senator Feinstein and I applauded this development and called on MTC to act urgently on an additional crossing, which would do more than any other project to alleviate congestion in the region.https://desaulnier.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/senator-feinstein-and-congressman-desaulnier-respond-mtc-s-announcement …
Congressman, as your constituent and someone who voted for you last election, this is a terrible mistake that cannot be continued. We need another transbay tube!
Where would all the cars go in SF if you built another car crossing? Has @RepDeSaulnier tried to park in SF lately?
Regional Measure 3 from that we'll be voting on in Nov. is the right approach and the product of considerable regional study by @MTCBATA. I support it. (1)
Unfortunately @RepDeSaulnier is:
a) Against @MTCBATA #RM3 that'll help the whole region including #CD11; but
b) For a 2nd bay crossing that'll encourage more cars onto already crowded streets.
That's disappointing and the wrong approach (2)
We should be studying a second #transbaycrossing for trains (#BART, #CapitalCorridor, and #HighSpeedRail), not for cars. Building more congested bridges to the 20th century is a bad approach. (3/end)
With all due respect sir, I don't think a car-based solution is the answer to decongestion. People cross the bay because of their jobs. Generate more opportunities across the Bay (SF peripheral) and provide support for mass /modular transport systems. That is what we need.
