The City of San Francisco held a meeting on July 4, 2025, to discuss a significant development project aimed at enhancing public transportation and affordable housing in the area. The primary focus of the meeting was the proposed demolition of an existing facility to make way for a new three-story structure, which will include a basement and expanded bus parking.

The project is set to increase the bus parking capacity from 153 to 223 buses, covering a total area of approximately 698,000 square feet. In addition to the transportation improvements, the development will feature several housing components, totaling around 510 units and approximately 381,000 gross square feet dedicated to residential use.

A key aspect of the proposal involves seeking a variance from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). This variance would allow for the rooftop space, initially intended for housing, to be repurposed for additional bus parking and operations related to paratransit services. This adjustment would provide an extra 148,000 square feet for these operations, ensuring that the facility remains functional for MTA needs.

However, the housing component along Bridal Street would see a reduction, with the number of residential units decreasing to about 103. This change reflects the ongoing discussions about balancing transportation needs with the demand for affordable housing in the city.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further evaluate the project’s implications and to continue engaging with community stakeholders as the development progresses. The next steps will involve refining the proposal and addressing any concerns raised during the discussions.
