SPUR meeting today to present Treasure Island plan

If you're looking for something to do during lunch today and you're in or near the financial district, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association is having a lunchtime presentation of the plan for Treasure Island.

A noontime forum, held at SPUR, 312 Sutter St. (at Grant), Fifth Floor, from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. We are located close to the Powell St. BART station and several Muni lines. Feel free to bring a lunch. SPUR Forums are open to the public, free for members and $5 for non-members.

Come see the proposal everyone is talking about—a plan that is probably the most complete expression of ecological urbanism to ever be proposed at the neighborhood scale in the Bay Area: 5,500 new homes; 235,000 square feet of retail space; 320 acres of open space, including parks, plazas, community gardens, and demonstration urban gardens; and 10-minute ferry trips to downtown. Make up your own mind: will it work? Come see the presentation by the development team, Treasure Island Community Development, LLC.
