3.2 Traffic ChallengesThe existing street network at Hunters Point Shipyard hasserved relatively little traffic since the shipyard that occupiedthe site closed. The street network within Candlestick Pointalso sees comparatively low levels of traffic, except on gamedays at Candlestick Park, where the 49ers currently playhome games. Streets in both areas have been only marginallymaintained and are not sufficient for the high-densitydevelopment of the proposed land use plan.Further outside the project boundaries, the arterial streetsin the area – Third Street, Cesar Chavez Street, and HarneyWay – lack the capacity needed to accommodate frequenttransit service and the level of auto traffic expected to begenerated by the project. Hunters Point Shipyard in particularhas only two access points and an indirect route to thefreeway network. Access to Candlestick Point is currentlyconstrained by the narrow right-of-way between ExecutivePark and San Francisco Bay. East-west access is inhibited bythe limited number of streets that cross the Caltrain tracks,some of which are narrow or have steep grades. CurrentCandlestick Park game-day and special event conditionspresent additional challenges related to street traffic and onstreetparking prohibitions. These include use of sidewalks forparking, private automobiles on streets designated for transitand taxis only, overcrowded buses delayed on congestedstreets, and numerous automobile/pedestrian/bicycle conflictpoints.Other transportation challenges that exist in the areainclude:• Third Street cuts across the street grid at an angle, withno direct alternate routes;• Industrial and residential land uses are mixed togetherin Bayview, resulting in truck traffic in some residentialareas; and• Streets are relatively wide, potentially encouraging highervehicular speeds.For regional access to the project area, the project is nearUS 101, part of the regional freeway network. The US 101interchanges that serve the project area (at Harney Way,Third Street, Paul Avenue, Silver Avenue, Alemany Boulevard /Industrial Avenue, and Cesar Chavez Street / Jerrold Avenue)will likely lack the capacity to accommodate the additionalauto travel demand for a project of this size in the future.There is no direct on-ramp from westbound Cesar ChavezStreet to southbound US 101 or from southbound ThirdStreet to northbound US 101. In contrast to congested US101 interchanges, the interchanges on I-280 that serve theproject area (Silver Avenue / Alemany Boulevard / IndustrialStreet, and Cesar Chavez / 25th Street) are underutilized.The existing roadway network is shown in Figure 4.17Existing Conditions
3.3 Pedestrian &Bicycle ChallengesFigure 4: Existing Roadway NetworkPedestrian access throughout the project site is limited due totopographic constraints and minimal connectivity within thestreet network. Existing land uses are primarily industrialand not conducive to pedestrian activity. Currently waterfrontaccess is limited to a portion of the Bay Trail, a Class I facilitythat provides a completely separate right-of-way and isdesignated for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians,which extends along the southern shoreline of the CandlestickPoint State Recreation Area.Currently, bicycle facilities within the project area include ClassIII bicycle routes, which provide for a right-of-way designatedby signs and pavement markings for shared use with motorvehicles. Existing Class III bicycle facilities are located onCarroll Avenue, Fitch Street, Hunters Point Expressway andJamestown Avenue. The existing bicycle facilities provideminimal access to the proposed project site. There are noClass II on-street bicycle facilities separating vehicular trafficfrom bicycles within the project site.Existing Conditions18
