No pun intended, but plans for the SFO Terminal 1 re-model have flown largely under the radar. The project will start work later this year, and the total cost is now estimated to be $2 billion.
Yes, that is billion with a “B”.
And that is in addition to billions already spent renovating terminals 2 and 3:
Like the recently remodeled Terminal 2, the new wing has a yoga room with twinkling stars on the ceiling for those seeking a little tranquillity before their flights. A collection of restaurants and retail shops with an open feel and a local flavor – including two pop-up stores that will rotate once or twice a year – will serve travelers.
Even the restrooms are fancy and spacious, with natural light – there are even dressing rooms. “SFO likes to provide four-star, five-star hotel-type restrooms,” said Judy Mosqueda, the Terminal 3 project manager.
Just something to keep in mind, next time you read about Muni’s budget problems.
Systemic Failure 
Or, for that matter, the cost of CA high speed rail.
So where does all the money come from? The Federal Airport Improvement Program?
Where IS the funding for this coming from?
