The Transbay Transit Center is a transit station and neighborhood development project in downtown San Francisco that will serve the San Francisco Bay Area’s regional transportation system. It is governed by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) and is currently under construction. ==History== During the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 the former Transbay Terminal suffered structural damage and was in need of replacement. In November 1999 San Francisco voters adopted Proposition H declaring that Caltrain shall be extended downtown into a new regional intermodal transit station constructed to replace the former Transbay Terminal. To accomplish this, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) was founded in 2001. The $4.5 billion project will replace the former Transbay Terminal at First and Mission streets in San Francisco with a modern regional transit station connecting eight Bay Area counties and the State of California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Program )〕 The Transbay Transit Center broke ground on August 11, 2010 in the company of Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senator Barbara Boxer, Mayor Gavin Newsom and more. After breaking ground, the TJPA worked to demolish the preexisting structures including the bus ramps and the terminal structure. Demolition of the former San Francisco Transbay Terminal completed in September 2011, just one year after the project broke ground.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mayor Lee, Jane Kim, Willie Brown Celebrate Old Transbay Terminal Demolition )〕 Construction of the first phase and accompanying park is scheduled to be completed in late 2017. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transbay Transit Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
