> But as we mourn the destruction of New Orleans, those
> of us in San Francisco can’t help but remember that before
> Katrina it was our own city that held the title of “worst
> disaster”—and may yet again! Of course we all know that an
> active fault line rumbles beneath our feet, threatening to shake
> our city into rubble. But we also face looming disaster in the
> form of rising waters, as global temperatures (due, in no small
> measure, to the global car culture) raise the shoreline, and no
> one really knows how high it will go.streets are fi lled with quake
> rubble, the bicycle will become
> the transportation of necessity, just like it was in 1906.
>
>
> To acknowledge this fact, we propose a route along
> our current shoreline southward and through what
> was once Mission Bay before turning north and
> tracing a route along the FUTURE shoreline at a
> line approximately 15 feet above the current
> sea level. Many times we will traverse the
> original shoreline too, long ago fi lled in
> with sand and soil from San Francisco
> hills that are no more.
