Treasure Island - Redesigning for the Future

Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island is being reengineered for the future. Redevelopment plans include 8,000 units of affordable and market rate housing, transit redesign and infrastructure retrofitting.

Incorporated in the masterplan includes open space concepts, pedestrian friendly streets and large park areas. One of the main designs on the islands is to use biodiversity and eco sustainable landscaping. Natural Storm water filtering system are being incorporated throughout the island to filter toxins from rainwater before the water is reintroduced into the surrounding bay. Wetlands are incorporated on the island to reduce coastal erosion and maintain sea level rise. Native plant habitats are being restored to increase biodiversity to maintain climate change and sequester carbon. #treasureisland #yerbabuena #biodiversity
