Treasure Island's Future Takes Shape as New Board Members Weigh Tolling, Housing Expansion

The San Francisco Rules Committee unanimously advanced five mayoral nominations on March 23 — two SFMTA board reappointments, two new Treasure Island Development Authority board members, and one redevelopment oversight seat — but it was the unresolved question of congestion tolling on Treasure Island that dominated the hearing. The TIDA appointments surfaced a sharp policy split: one nominee backs tolling as essential demand management, the other warns it would hurt lower-income residents, and supervisors acknowledged the city has debated the issue for nearly eight years without resolution.

• Two new TIDA board members approved as island weighs major housing expansion and congestion pricing

• SFMTA board reappointments advance amid fiscal uncertainty; first Latina member highlights equity for Latinx riders

• Supervisor Mandelman says a decision on Treasure Island tolling "is going to have to get made" after nearly eight years of debate

• TIDA Board president teases major development announcements in the coming months

• All five nominations head to the full Board of Supervisors on April 7

The two new appointments to the Treasure Island Development Authority Board of Directors consumed the bulk of the committee's time — and produced the meeting's substantial policy exchange.
