    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a 1905 San Francisco city plan by Daniel Burnham. This plan appears in "Report on a Plan for San Francisco." A scanned version of this map was georeferenced as part of the Imagined San Francisco project. This project traces the history of urban planning in San Francisco, placing special emphasis on unrealized schemes. Rather than using visual material simply to illustrate outcomes, Imagined San Francisco uses historical plans, maps, architectural renderings, and photographs to show what might have been. By enabling users to layer a series of urban plans, the project presents the city not only as a sequence of material changes, but also as a contingent process and a battleground for political power. Savvy institutional actors--like banks, developers, and many public officials--understood that in some cases to clearly articulate their interests would be to invite challenges. That means that textual sources like newspapers and municipal reports are limited in what they can tell researchers about the shape of political power. Urban plans, however, often speak volumes about interests and dynamics upon which textual sources remain silent. Mortgage lenders, for example, apparently thought it unwise to state that they wished to see a poor neighborhood cleared, to be replaced with a freeway onramp. Yet visual analysis of planning proposals makes that interest plain. So in the process of showing how the city might have looked, Imagined San Francisco also shows how political power actually was negotiated and exercised. Burnham, D. (2021).

    • Line data
    • 2019
    Contributors:

    Summary: The SF Bay Shoreline Inventory mapping consists of two main elements:Mapping of Bay shore features (levees, berms, roads, railroads, embankments, etc.) which could affect flooding and flood routing.Attributing Bay shore features with additional information including elevations, armoring, ownership (when known), among others.SFEI delineated and characterized the Bay shore inland to 3 meters (10ft) above mean higher high water (MHHW) to accommodate observed extreme water levels and the commonly used range of future sea level rise (SLR) scenarios. Elevated Bay shore features were mapped and classified as engineered levees, berms, embankments, transportation structures, wetlands, natural shoreline, channel openings, or water control structures. Mapped features were also attributed with elevation (vertical accuracy of <5cm reported in 30 meter (100ft) segments from LiDAR derived digital elevation models (DEMs), FEMA accreditation status, fortification (e.g., riprap, buttressing), frontage (e.g., whether a feature was fronted by a wetland or beach), ownership, and entity responsible for maintenance. Water control structures, ownership, and maintenance attributes were captured where data was available (not complete for entire dataset). The dataset was extensively reviewed and corrected by city, county, and natural resource agency staff in each county around the Bay. This report provides further description of the Bay shore inventory and methods used for developing the dataset. The result is a publicly accessible GIS spatial database.

  15. Title: Stormwater Pump Stations, San Mateo County Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Project Area, 2010

    • Point data
    • 2019
    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset was created through the collaborative efforts of the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) San Francisco Bay Region in the effort to identify the location and specific attributes of stormwater pump stations surrounding the San Francisco Bay under the jurisdiction of Phase 1 permittees and the California Department of Transportation. The RWQCB requested information from Phase 1 permittees during the fall of 2007 and SFEI organized the information into a database and this GIS shapefile. Attempts were made to standardize the data presented in this GIS into standard language and units for each attribute, however, no information offered by the permittees was deleted and differences are either noted within the dataset or the information was moved to the notes section. The RWQCB later requested similar information from Caltrans. Caltrans responded with information about 62 of their pump stations in the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. This data was incorporated into the shapefile in March 2009. As of March 2010, the RWQCB plans to request the Phase 1 permittees to review the dataset to verify, update, and add additional information for each pump station as appropriate.

    Summary: This line shapefile represents levess and floodwalls in the San Mateo County Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Project area. These dara are derived from the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Inventory Mapping Project conducted by the San Francisco Estuary Institute. The SF Bay Shoreline Inventory mapping consists of two main elements:Mapping of Bay shore features (levees, berms, roads, railroads, embankments, etc.) which could affect flooding and flood routing.Attributing Bay shore features with additional information including elevations, armoring, ownership (when known), among others.This layer is part of the San Mateo County Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Project. With rising sea levels and the increased likelihood of extreme weather events, it is important for regional agencies and local municipalities in the San Francisco Bay Area to have a clear understanding of the status, composition, condition, and elevation of our current Bay shore, including both natural features and built infrastructure. The purpose of this Bay shore inventory is to create a comprehensive and consistent picture of today’s Bay shore features to inform regional planning. This dataset includes both structures engineered expressly for flood risk management (such as accredited levees) and features that affect flooding at the shore but are not designed or maintained for this purpose (such as berms, road embankments, and marshes). This mapping covers as much of the ‘real world’ influence on flooding and flood routing as possible, including the large number of non-accredited structures. This information is needed to: 1. identify areas vulnerable to flooding; 2. identify adaptation constraints due to present Bay shore alignments; and 3. suggest opportunities where beaches, wetlands, and floodplains can be maintained or restored and integrated into flood risk management strategies. The primary focus of the project is therefore to inform regional planners and managers of Bay shore characteristics and vulnerabilities. The mapping presented here is neither to inform FEMA flood designation nor is it a replacement for site-specific analysis and design.
