Before and after photos show what San Francisco's Treasure Island will look like once its $6 billion redevelopment is complete
The Bay Bridge runs parallel to Treasure Island, and through its neighboring island of Yerba Buena, ferrying passengers from Oakland to San Francisco and vice versa.
From San Francisco, Treasure Island looks calm, serene, and removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
But if the redevelopment goes according to plan, this is how it will look once it's all said and done.
The population is expected to swell to 20,000 by 2032, up from its approximate current count of 2,000.

That's a lot less than the nearly 20 million people that visited San Francisco for the World's Fair in 1939 that was hosted on the island.

Sweeping open parks, community gardens, a retail sector, a hotel, a new ferry terminal, and the 8,000 new homes housing residents — current and new — will also occupy the island.
If the redevelopment plan pans out, the island's new skyline will sit across the bay from San Francisco's.
