[UPDATE: Barbara Taylor has the deets.]
[UPDATE II: And it should be noted that Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture designed the landscape for this project.]
Well here’s the news from last week:
“U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced the recipients of the 2011 Sustainable Communities Grants, totaling nearly $96 million. Twenty-seven communities and organizations will receive Community Challenge grants and 29 regional areas will receive Regional Planning grants. The goal of HUD’s Sustainable Communities grants is to help communities and regions improve their economic competitiveness by connecting housing with good jobs, quality schools and transportation.”
Our San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission scored $5,000,000 worth of these grants, so some feds dropped by to celebrate this afternoon.

Oh, here they are up at the Richardson’s awesome-looking rooftop garden:

And here’s Supervisor and MTC Commissioner David Campos. (To him, Nancy Pelosi “will always be Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”)
Remember this mural? I haven’t seen it in a while. Anyway, here’s where’s your Central Freeway used to be. Parcel G., specifically, per the Socketsite.

It looks better than the artist’s conceptions, I think. Swoopier, anyway.
Hurray!
Leave us remember:
“This is the scene these days down at the Civic Centerish worksite of the Drs. Julian and Raye Richardson Apartments – it’s just a shrouded box now, see?

This is what Central Freeway Parcel G looked like at the beginning, back in April…

Finally, the Yelpers agree – the 76 Marin Headlands rulez!
Check it, Per Helen L:
“I hate that this bus ONLY runs on Sundays and certain holidays.
I hate that this bus ONLY runs once an hour.
I hate that this bus stops running in the evening.
However, this is still the bestest MUNI route EVER!!!”
Here it is, in action near the Golden Gate Bridge:

See you on the 76!
