It will now take place:
Wednesday August 1
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 )
In response to questions raised at previous meetings, the August 1 meeting will focus on bicycle and pedestrian access to the hospital site. We will also touch on public transit issues.
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!

The June 4 meeting focused on the proposed helipad. Presenters included Cindy Lima, Director of Medical Center Administration; Roxanne Fernandes, Executive Director of UCSF Children’s Hospital; Christa Thomas, RN, Patient Care Manager of the UCSF Children’s Hospital Transport Program; Gene Reindel, aviation noise consultant; and Jim Adams, CEO of REACH Air Medical Services.
No decisions have been made regarding the location of the proposed helipad:
- While the University is still interested in pursuing a helipad on the hospital site, we are also analyzing alternative sites for the helipad, including along the waterfront and at UCSF’s research campus.
- An information sheet is available that provides the projected number of helicopter trips and their daily average arrival times, etc. http://www.community.ucsf.edu/UCSF_MBHospHelipadInfo051407.pdf
- We will be conducting a helicopter demonstration flight, which will be planned in conjunction with a working group of neighbors. We plan to convene the first meeting of this working group in the July-August timeframe.
At the May 14 meeting, UCSF shared that, in response to community concerns, the location of the Urgent Care/Emergency Department entrance was moved from Mariposa to Fourth Street . This was very well received by those in attendance. There was a detailed discussion of the history of traffic/transportation planning at Mission Bay, and options short of closing Fourth Street were discussed that would minimize traffic flow from Fourth Street to Dogpatch’s Minnesota Street.
