But if one could be shoehorned into that area, perhaps with the station on MLK Jr. Way (stairs/elevators extending west up to the platforms a half block further west), it would only be about a 4 block walk to the stadium development. All residential growth could occur from perhaps Market Street east with Port activities segregated to west.

That infill station would be great. If Bart could get some courageous engineers on the job to get that decent/station to work. I remember there being talk regarding directing the second transbay tube coming down the 980 corridor (if/when it gets infilled), could there be a potential to add a station along that route and at Alameda Landing?
