AGAINST PRESENTATION by Howard Wong, Architect and Gerald Cauthen, PE of SAVE MUNI. <savemuni.com> History: The 89 earthquakes destruction of the shoreline freeway that provided acccess to Chinatown created a movement for policies by Rose Pak, Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, and then Mayor Willie Brown for a Subway to make up for the loss of business in Chinatown; truth is the loss of business was really its shift to the Sunset and other neighborhoods. Mr. Wong asks: How can the monies be better spent to improve transportation service to all of SF, not just Chinatown? Subway ride time may be faster, but service access time to deep underground stations is longer. There is no true Market Street station, the station is at Stockton/Geary and 80 feet underground, Union Square. The Market Street BART/MUNI station is at Powell/Market, a long underground walk away.
