In 1993, the Report of the Doyle Drive Task Force to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (also referred to as "The Painter Plan") was submitted, which developed a concept of a scenic parkway through the Presidio. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved in principle the recommendations of the Task Force (February 1993 Resolution). View this report.

Also in 1993, Caltrans completed a Project Study Report: Doyle Drive Reconstruction (PSR) (pdf) for replacement of Doyle Drive. The project study report is a Caltrans document used to program projects for inclusion in the State’s Transportation Improvement Program for funding. As is standard in a project study report, a preferred alternative was not identified, pending the completion of NEPA and CEQA environmental review. View this report.

In 1996, the SFCTA released the Doyle Drive Intermodal Study Report. This document supports the Doyle Drive Task Force and the Presidio Final General Management Plan recommendations to design the Doyle Drive replacement as a "parkway" and further defines the parkway design. It also emphasizes making multi-modal and direct vehicular access into and out of the Presidio a central feature of the replacement design, the inclusion of a transit center, and incorporating Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology, such as by using roadway surveillance cameras and real-time transit information kiosks.
