Your right the location of Trinity is perfect for using the transpiration system. But my read of the EIR makes it seem as if MUNI underground would not be overly taxed by the addition of 1900 units at Civic Center. As someone who lives a block away from Trinity and rides MUNI to work every morning, the conclusion reached in the EIR just doesn't add up.

Riding MUNI at Civic Center during the morning rush hour is currently "manageable"; however, I am not certain this will be the case once the building is completed and somewhere between 200-400 people (my figures) descend on to the platform as part of the morning ritual.

Now growth in going to take place that is a fact of life; still, I don't think the city is correctly anticipating the impact on a much stressed system. Short of three car trains, I am not sure what can be done. What’s your solution?
