After months of work, Good Neighbors of TI/YBI, in cooperation with the Treasure Island Development Authority, and with the assistance of many others, has released the "Resource Guide for Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island Residents" in a downloadable pdf format.

This project came about because many residents observed that they were never quite sure who to call regarding various issues on the Islands.  

In the guide you will find information and referrals for...

• reporting utility hazards and outages
• important phone numbers to have
• quality of life issues
• neighborhood crime issues
• disaster and emergency preparedness
• and a map of the Island

We hope you find this useful. Please send comments to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

UPDATED 11/3/2008:  Noticed that several of the bus shelters that are still standing, but missing plastic from the sides had their exposed windows boarded up. Yay! This is a step forward. Now we need the three bus shelters on Northpoint and Mason replaced (they are gone).  Here is a thought to keep in mind. The bus shelters were largely damaged by Island youth (as reported by many eye witnesses). Once we have bus shelters back we all need to keep an eye out for any willful distruction of them and report immediately to the police, especially when you can identify the people doing the damage.

UPDATED 10/8/2008:  If you ride the bus or drive past the stops you will realize - most are gone or dilapidated - still!  They were supposed to be installed in June but it looks like the residents are going to have to suffer a second rainy season with inadequate protection.  Why is Treasure Island being neglected on this matter? Supposedly Clear Channel has a contract to take care of all bus shelters in SF (which TI is part of) but somehow we still don't have shelter. Time for residents to go to MTA, TIDA, Chris Daly, the board of supervisors meeting and ask why? And more to the point, what are they going to do about it (waiting until the next rainy season is not an acceptable answer!)

=====================================================

We all know the bus shelters on Treasure Island have been destroyed, and some removed, over the past two years and we have been waiting for deployment of new ones. Many of us have had to stand out in the cold and rain waiting for the bus (often crowded and late) to arrive during the rainy season and what kept us going was the notice we would receive new bus shelters in July.

MTA signed a contract with Clear Channel, a communications company, manage the bus shelters in the city in return for advertising rights. Part of the deal was the replacement of the destroyed bus shelters on TI and regular monitoring of them for repair.
