San Francisco hears from the public

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is drafting a new transportation plan, the "Draft Transportation 2030 Plan," that will give the Bay area $113 billion in anticipated funds. The commission will also allow the community and commuters to hear in on the plans and voice their opinion. The plan will spend the funds over the next 25 years and will also include projects such as land use, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and a network of toll lanes on major highways. Long traffic jams that continue for miles may be a thing of the past if local residents execute a solid plan.
