Van de Water will return next month to downtown San Francisco, where he worked for 17 years before joining Livermore’s administration in 2019. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) Board of Directors hired Van de Water away from Livermore to be its new executive director, tapping him to run its Salesforce Transit Center, a $2.2 billion modern facility opened in 2018. The regional transportation center is a hub that connects several Bay Area transit systems — AC Transit, Greyhound, Muni, Golden Gate Transit, WestCAT Lynx, and Paratransit — to BART, Muni Metro and Sam Trans.
. . .
Besides the transit projects, Van de Water will be in charge of running a massive building with 100,000-square-feet of retail space, a nearly 5 1/2 -acre park on the roof, and a public art program.
“One of my old colleagues said, ‘You would be perfect for this,’” Van de Water said. “My expertise is in large-scale capital delivery.”"
