Salesforce.com's presence as a major economic force in San Francisco will soon be visible in the form of an eye-popping, 14-acre campus in Mission Bay.

Situated in the growing neighborhood around AT&T Park, the online sales software company's eight-building headquarters would sport bold shades of pink, orange and purple and span 2 million square feet.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 workers would stroll through offices, shops, restaurants and child care sites. And farmers' markets, outdoor cafes, artwork and public seating would enliven a series of connected plazas.

Hi Neighbors,

I don't know how many of you have read the news about MTA's proposal to install parking meters in our neighborhood. This proposal, if carried out, will add parking meters directly in front of our residences. The attached document describes the proposed plan (see figure 13)Draft-Mission-Bay-Parking-Management-Strategy-10.28.11.pdf along with information about the meters themselves. Under the proposal, these meters will be active between 9am and 11pm. Therefore, if you live in the affected areas and park on the street, it will effectively require you to pay metered parking in front of your home. I find this an outrage and plan to start a petition and to develop an effective counter-strategy. There will be an upcoming SFMTA meeting for "public comment". This meeting has not yet been scheduled, but for more information on this proposal please see the attached PDF and/or contact and send comments to Jay Primus (Jay.Primus@sfmta.com). We have already contacted Supervisor Cohen's office : CohenStaff@sfgov.org and are waiting to hear back from her.
