Long-proposed Geneva Avenue extension being revived in Brisbane (near SF

Ca. 1960s (I'll have to dig up some links from Eric Fischer's Flickr later on)...

part of the Route 230 proposal (the Hunter's Point Freeway/Route 87 extension) that would have connected today's Cesar Chavez (Army) Street and I-280 junction southwards towards the Bayshore Freeway in Brisbane...included an extension of Geneva Avenue from its current terminus at Bayshore Boulevard/historic Bypass US 101 in Daly City (originally the town of Bayshore) to where the 230/101 junction would be.

After the Freeway Revolt, 230 has remained on the books (as a proposed, but likely to be unconstructed highway)...but only from 280 to 101 with no mention of a Geneva Avenue connector.

Looks like the proposals to finally connect the T Third MUNI Metro line with the existing Bayshore Caltrain station in Brisbane generally also involve finally linking Geneva to 101 (via the Candlestick Park exit, which would be reconfigured into a simple diamond) decades after it was first thought of:
