The neighborhood we've grown to love continues to change. Somewhere at the heart of the OMI (Oceanview, Merced, Ingleside) community there is a transit hub. It's the Balboa Park station. It's actually one of the busiest hubs in SF. But like so many things in our nieghborhood it was poorly planned. It's a huge disjoined network of Muni and BART tracks. Seriously, try taking a walk through this station and you'll see what I mean. What were they thinking? It's unattractive. No parking. There is plenty of wasted space. The area around it is in shambles. It looks junky/ghetto.
Sometimes, I think I'm attracted to the idea of getting into Urban Planning. I mean I want to get in on these meetings when people come up with a master plan of what will be the corridors of life for thousands. So, there is a plan to redesign the whole station. It's been in the works for quite some time, but feet are definitely dragging. I actually went to a couple of the meetings for community input, as did some of my friends. They took the input well. Let's see how it translates... :-)
