As announced at the August meeting, the next meeting of the UCSF Hospital Replacement CAG* Action Team will be held:


Monday, September 17
6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
UCSF Mission Bay Campus
Genentech Hall, Room N-114
600 16th Street

UCSF is continuing the community involvement process for the new clinical facilities for children, women, and cancer patients to be built on the Mission Bay site just south of the existing UCSF research campus (bounded by Mariposa, 16th, 3rd, and the new Owens Street ). (See map http://www.community.ucsf.edu/MB_hosp_site.pdf )

 

    At the August meeting, the agenda focused on proposed pedestrian and bicycle access to the hospital site, as well as public transit. We also discussed that, according to updated cost estimates, the Mission Bay hospital project was $200 million over budget—which has forced us to re-think the phasing and site plan for the facilities. The Medical Center shared a proposed revision to the site plan, which involves developing the full east block first, and building on the west block in a later phase. We will present an updated proposal at the September 17 meeting, which we feel addresses some concerns expressed in August. We will also report on the helipad test flight planning session that was held in early August with neighbors.

 

    The UCSF Mission Bay campus is accessible using the MUNI T-Third light rail line. If you drive, please park at NO COST in the SURFACE LOT (near the UCSF Police Station); this lot can be reached by taking 16th Street to 4th Street . Complimentary parking is not available in the garages. Please bring photo id to show at building security desk. We will have refreshments, but you may want to eat dinner beforehand!
