But at LightHouse, we wanted to offer a hands-on opportunity for our blind community to get to know this fantastic new public resource. If you’d like to read about the project, there are plenty of places: the Examiner does a good job describing the new Transit Center inside and out.

San Francisco is clamoring with excitement about the opulent 1,000 foot facility, marked by the now-famous Salesforce Tower. The new San Francisco Transbay Terminal, now known as the Salesforce Transit Center, is a 4.5 billion dollar, 1 million square foot development project, to include public parks, shops and a hub for the city’s buses, trains and eventually, high-speed rail. On Sunday at midnight, the “Grand Central Station of the West” opened, right in our backyard.
