Urban areas that grow quickly can experience an urban crisis where infrastructure cannot keep up with population growth, leading to issues like traffic jams and overcrowded schools. In contrast, urban areas that grow slowly plan infrastructure in advance to support new residents. Open spaces within cities provide environmental benefits like reducing flooding and moderating temperatures by absorbing rainfall and reducing the urban heat island effect. Land use planning aims to determine how land will be used to address issues of urban growth, and tools like geographic information systems allow planners to analyze layers of geographic data to make informed decisions about future development.
This document provides a summary and analysis of the original Grandpont redevelopment scheme designed by Michael White.

Denver grew from a mining town in the 1850s connected by railroads to a regional center. In the 20th century, its streetcar system was replaced by buses and it battled air pollution from increased traffic. It has since expanded public transit through light rail and adopted land use plans to encourage transit-oriented development. Today, Denver has a light rail and multi-modal transportation system though congestion is increasing with population growth and vehicle miles traveled.

This document provides a summary of an operational safety review of 14th Avenue between Markham Road and Ninth Line in Markham, Ontario. The review found that a number of single vehicle collisions occurred due to high operating speeds on the curvy road sections that did not meet drivers' expectations. Potential contributing factors identified included sightline restrictions from multiple curves, inadequate pavement markings and signage, and a reverse cross slope causing water to flow across lanes. Recommendations focused on improving delineation of curves, conducting a drainage study, and implementing traffic calming measures to encourage safer speeds.
The document proposes a "Beaches to Bay Bus Express" as an alternative to the proposed Northern Beaches Road Tunnel. The bus express would use a dedicated tunnel for electric buses to provide high-capacity public transport between the Northern Beaches and destinations across Sydney. It would be built in four stages, with the first stage running from the Northern Beaches to Crows Nest. Subsequent stages would extend the route south through tunnels to Rozelle, Wolli Creek, and Miranda, connecting to heavy and light rail lines. The electric buses would provide fast, convenient service with fewer emissions than regular buses or private vehicles.

Alternative 1 provides the strongest transit performance with a center transitway and improved bicycle corridor on 17th Street. It was carried forward for further evaluation. Alternative 4 also provides a center "queue jump" lane for transit and was also carried forward.
The document provides an introduction and background on the EN TRIPS project, which aims to implement the transportation vision established in the Eastern Neighborhoods Area Plans of San Francisco. It discusses the project scope and objectives, which include identifying and designing key transportation infrastructure projects to address impacts of growth in the Eastern Neighborhoods. The objectives call for investing in improved transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and other multimodal facilities to efficiently move people and goods through these neighborhoods as population and employment are forecast to greatly increase. The document also reviews the relevant transportation policies that provide input to the EN TRIPS project.
This document summarizes the key issues and opportunities related to transportation along the 16th Street corridor in San Francisco. It discusses four distinct segments of 16th Street and identifies the segment between Potrero Avenue and 7th Street as the focus of the ENTRIPS corridor design project due to expected growth, congestion forecasts, transit constraints, and community priority. The objectives of transportation improvements for this segment are outlined, including prioritizing transit performance, enhancing the public realm, improving pedestrian and bicycle conditions, maintaining vehicle circulation, and delivering projects cost-effectively. Finally, nine project alternatives are presented and evaluated against the objectives.
This document summarizes transportation issues and opportunities for the Folsom and Howard Street corridor in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. It discusses the four distinct segments that make up the corridor and focuses on the segment between 5th and 11th Streets. This segment was prioritized for analysis due to expected growth and community priority. The summary identifies key challenges including limited pedestrian facilities, high vehicle volumes and speeds that diminish safety, and a lack of protected bicycle facilities. Project objectives are outlined to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity, enhance the public realm, improve transit legibility, maintain adequate vehicle capacity while prioritizing other modes, and deliver cost-effective improvements. A framework is proposed for east-west circulation in the area with Mission
This document summarizes issues and opportunities for improving the Seventh and Eighth Street corridor in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. It identifies three segments of the corridor and focuses on the segment between Market and Harrison Streets, which experiences high traffic volumes, speeds, and rates of pedestrian injury collisions. The document outlines the project's objectives to improve pedestrian conditions and safety, reduce crossing distances, and upgrade the public realm and landscaping, particularly on Seventh Street as a designated "green connector" street. Tradeoffs will be required due to the limited right-of-way. Proposed design alternatives aim to balance priorities like pedestrian comfort and traffic flow.
This document provides an overview of a community workshop to discuss preliminary design alternatives for three sets of streets in San Francisco: Folsom and Howard Streets, 7th and 8th Streets, and 16th Street. The agenda includes introducing the design alternatives for each corridor in breakout group discussions. The purpose is to get community input on alternatives that aim to improve transportation, safety, and the public realm while supporting appropriate development as part of the Eastern Neighborhoods Transportation Implementation Planning Study. Attendees will provide feedback on alternative designs through discussion, written comments, and prioritization voting. Refined design concepts and implementation strategies will be developed after the workshop.
This document provides recommendations for prioritizing transportation corridor improvement projects in San Francisco's Eastern Neighborhoods based on an analysis of growth and transportation needs. Key steps included: 1) Dividing corridors into segments; 2) Assessing growth areas; 3) Scoring segments on bicycle, pedestrian, and transit needs; 4) Identifying outliers. Recommended priority corridors for near-term projects include segments of Folsom St, 3rd/4th Sts, and 5th/6th Sts due to high growth, multimodal needs, and safety issues. Other corridors may be addressed through other planning processes.
This memorandum provides descriptions and analysis of concept alternatives developed for transportation projects on Folsom and Howard Streets and Seventh and Eighth Streets in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. Ten alternatives were initially considered. For Folsom and Howard, alternatives 1, 6, and 9 were recommended for further consideration. Alternative 1 would convert the streets to a two-lane, one-way configuration with cycletracks. Alternative 6 would implement a hybrid one-way/two-way configuration. Alternative 9 would convert the streets to a two-lane, two-way configuration with buffered bike lanes. The alternatives aim to improve safety and comfort for pedestrians and cyclists while maintaining adequate vehicle capacity and access for businesses.
The document summarizes meetings of the ENTRIPS Task Force from 2009 to 2010. The Task Force provided feedback to the SFMTA and Planning Department on their transportation planning process for the Eastern Neighborhoods area. They discussed the existing conditions report, future conditions report, and evaluation framework to prioritize potential transportation projects. Urban Ecology facilitated the Task Force and ensured community input was considered in the ENTRIPS process.
This document provides an overview of future transportation conditions in San Francisco's Eastern Neighborhoods based on projected population and employment growth between 2005-2035. Key findings include:
- Significant increases in population and employment are projected, especially in the Central Waterfront and Mission Bay areas.
- Total daily trips are projected to increase by over 50% and PM peak period trips to grow by over 40%.
- Vehicle volumes on major streets are expected to rise substantially, potentially worsening congestion.
- Transit ridership is projected to more than double, straining the capacity of key bus and light rail lines.
- Pedestrian collisions may rise in areas with high projected density increases without street improvements.
This document discusses several transportation projects in San Francisco including a street plan, a transit effectiveness project, a bicycle plan, traffic calming measures, and SFpark. The projects aim to improve streets, transit, biking infrastructure, and manage traffic and parking through strategies such as traffic circles, speed cushions, and demand-based parking pricing.
This document outlines an evaluation framework and process for prioritizing transportation projects in Eastern Neighborhoods of San Francisco. It proposes a three-track system that evaluates: 1) major network projects, 2) neighborhood-scale projects, and 3) area-wide policy projects. Both qualitative and quantitative criteria will be used to assess projects according to goals like improving circulation, addressing deficiencies, and aiding street design. A timeline and next steps are discussed for applying this framework.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

ENTRIPS – Community Meeting #1 - Minutes
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Meeting Location: Recology Community Room
Golden Gate Disposal & Recycling Co.
900 7th Street, San Francisco , CA 94107
Project Team Attendees:
Timothy Papandreau – SFMTA - SSD
Erin Miller – SFMTA - SSD
Jerry Robbins – SFMTA - SSD
Bonnie Nelson – Nelson/Nygaard
Mike Eiseman – Nelson/Nygaard
Steve Wertheim – SF Planning
Jon Swae – SF Planning
Presentation:
a) The Eastern Neighborhoods Plan – Steve Werthiem spoke about the planning
that took place in the Eastern Neighborhoods from 2000 – 2008. This included
plans for East SoMa, Mission, Showplace Square/Potrero Hill, and Central
Waterfront. Steve explained how the 2035 projections show a large portion of the
housing growth and the vast majority of the job growth taking place in the Eastern
Neighborhoods.
b) EN TRIPS Context – Erin Miller spoke about the need for transportation planning
to catch up to the land use planning in the Eastern Neighborhoods. She gave a
brief overview of EN-TRIPS as an evaluation of circulation impacts from
anticipated future growth. EN TRIPS will focus on key corridors of concern and
develop conceptual transportation and street design alternatives. EN-TRIPS will
also identify challenges throughout the study area so that they are included in on-
going SFMTA programs.

2. c) Technical Analysis – Bonnie Nelson presented on the EN TRIPS work to date.
Their work to date includes two detailed reports, the Existing Conditions and the
Future Conditions, as well as the initial corridor analysis and prioritization.
Bonnie went on to share some of the key findings from the Existing and Future
Conditions Report. Without changes to the system, but assuming the anticipated
growth, this would include a 70% increase in travel demand, a significant increase
in vehicle traffic, a strained transit system, a more complete bike network,
continued pedestrian/vehicle and bicycle/vehicle collisions, particularly in SoMa.
Bonnie presented 13 corridors that have been preliminarily designated as a “high
need.” Moving forward, the goals are to select the highest priority corridor
segments for the development of conceptual alternative circulation modifications
and streetscape improvemetns for selected corridor segments. The possibility to
develop design guidance for future improvements for the remainder of the study
area was also briefly discussed.
Break Out and Regroup
a) After the presentation, community members were instructed to give feedback.
They did this by writing their comments on the maps around the room. The maps
included “high need” corridors and general Eastern Neighborhoods maps.
Community members were also given stickers to indicate their highest priority
areas. Red stickers represented the highest priority (see attached images).
b) Everyone reconvened to discuss the break out session. Bonnie Nelson led the
discussion by reviewing the community input given on each corridor map.
c) Mission Street – There were a couple requests for more express buses. Lighting
was also cited as an issue.
d) 16th Street – A main concern was the transit connection to the waterfront. There
was a request for better pedestrian/transit/bicycle improvements. The railroad
crossing was cited as part of the connectivity problem. There was also concern
about vehicle and transit access to the new hospital in Mission Bay.
e) Division Street – Community member reported this area to be poorly lit and
unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists. There is especially high pedestrian activity
near the Townsend Circle. The community finds the general environment and
street angle make it easy to lose one’s sense of direction in this area.
f) 2nd Street – This corridor was cited as good for pedestrians, the community would
like to keep it that way. There was also some interest in potential conflicts with
the proposed 2nd Street bike lanes.
g) 3rd and 4th Streets – Fourth Street was cited as being very unfriendly for bicyclists.
A community member commented that 3rd Street transit only lanes are not being
properly enforced.

3. h) 5th Street – There was a request for stronger transit along this corridor.
Community members also cited missing street crossings.
i) 6th Street – Nelson/Nygaard rated this corridor highly for its need to improve
pedestrian, bicycle, and traffic conflicts. A community member commented that
cars are turning into alleys off of 6th to go to parking garages – creating a safety
problem.
j) 7th and 8th Streets – There were some concerns about the pedestrian
environment. In particular there were request to change 7th Street to 2-way traffic
flow, reduce lanes, and add sidewalks that are currently missing.
k) Folsom Street – There was some concern about the absence of the 7th-11th Street
portion of the Folsom Street corridor. Community members expressed their favor
for a 2-way Folsom Street. They also want to make sure that this corridor
maintains good transit service and bicycle priorities
l) Townsend Street – It was stressed that this corridor is an important pedestrian
and bicycle connector for the Caltrain Station. Multiple community members noted
the poor pedestrian environment, which includes missing sidewalks. They
suggest extending design treatment for Townsend all the way to traffic circle at 8th.
They also noted that buses that stop in the middle of street are hazardous for bike
riders and the design of new bike lanes at intersections may also cause a safety
hazard for cyclists.
m) Potrero Hill – Multiple people advocated for additional transit service for residents.
Issues include the redevelopment of the public housing project and the need for
improved transit for this traveling up and down the hills.
n) Rincon Hill – Community members spoke about transportation improvements not
keeping pace with new growth in the area.
o) Central Waterfront – Community members are concerned about the impacts Pier
70 and Salesforce will have on traffic conditions.
p) Area Wide – Community members had a few general comments about the
Eastern Neighborhoods. They wanted to make sure EN TRIPS would not forget
about areas not officially included as part of the Eastern Neighborhoods, that
private shuttles were being tracked, that something was done to improve
east/west vehicular crossing through 101 and 280, that America’s Cup impacts
are mitigated, and that transportation improvements are made before growth
takes place.

Folsom Street - 2nd to 7th - SoMa
Folsom important bt 7th and 11th for cyclists. Bicycles
Folsom between 7th and 11th should be a priority corridor. Planning
Every study always calls for Folsom 2-way for Muni already! Planning - all modes
Implement priority with bike lanes and pedestrian protection for entire length of corridor!
Any change to transit on Folsom should not sacrifice the service it provides. It really connects SoMa and Southpark to the Transit
Mission - absolutely replaces driving.
Why Folsom 2nd to 7th? Proposed Neighborhood Commercial Transit (NCT) district is from 6th to 10th Street. Transit
Highest proposed housing density is clustered around Folsom in [ ].
TEP proposed enhanced transit for this area. That's why Western SoMa Plan upzones the neighborhood. If there is no
ehnanced transit, the upzoning should be put on hold.
Townsend Street - 3rd to 5th and 5th to 7th - SoMa
Too many parked traffic control cars. Interferes with Bus and Trucks. Auto
Bikes and parked [ing] cars vie for space in the current bike lane. Still dangerous as doors open into bike lane. Bicycles
Terrible walking environment west of 4th Street Pedestrian -

Townsend St. does have some sidewalks on the north side. If it is to be an encouraged walking corridor (no crossing of 6th Pedestrian -
St. needed), the completion of sidewalks from 4th to 7th should be a priority. Sidewalks -
