Cyclists and those who are thinking of riding but as you noted are not victims of bike safety and attorneys. And connecting the city with the bike wave and bike parking, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Welcome aboard and you have big shoes to fill but we look forward to working with you. Any other speaker or member of the public will like to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. So i will turn it over again to the sponsor of the hearing, supervisor mar. Yeah, i just wanted to ask miss saint claire from safety and everyone if you could talk about the voluntary registry that we are putting into place as well for the voluntary bike registry program. And so safe will host the program like i spoke about before, and it will be online, and so everyone will be able to distribute the materials for the program, and so it will be a form on the safe, and on the safe bikes program, and it will have all of what to fill in about your bike and the contact info and the information will go into the secured data base and it will not be shared with anyone else and so if an officer then recovers a bike on the streets they will have a process where it will be they will call safe and say that i found this bike and here is the number and we will provide two stickers to every user and registered user to put on the bicycle. And we will have the recommendations on where to put them and like i spoke about before it is going to be a huge education effort with the brochures on how to lock the bike properly and where to store your bike and how to report if your bike is stolen. Great. Thank you. And i want to take and thank sfsafe, the bicycle coalition. And officer Matt Freedman and deputy chief for their work and i think that we are close to making significant progress, and i think that what makes this process so unique, and that the project that started with the ideas from the community, and people that have been victims, of bike theft, and really it is involved the key, partners from the mta to the police as well and the city. And we have been looking at studies of davis and other entities and around the world as well and so we are drawing from some of the best practices too, and it is a real credit that we have great leadership in this department as well. And really innovative and resourceful like officer freedman and also the allies in the mta to really address the key and safe and secure, bike parking areas and did not increase the number of places that people can secure with the u locks, hopefully to good bike racks in all neighborhoods and merchant areas as well. I think that the recommendations that we took in july and in an ongoing way to helping the park station and Community Residents helping each other is really a great effort and it really encourages the block by block and Police Station by Police Station and support and too. And so i was glad that the Police Department is looking at how to create more of from the lessons of from the some stations that have drawn from the other stations and helping and having a city wide approach as well. I think that we have moved a long way but there is still much work to be done. And lastly, the day before, halloween, we will be reviewing a new report that is drafted by the budget and legislative analysts on how we can better fund and put our money where our mouth is and our city bike strategy and also improve the safety of the bicycling in the city and i know that other supervisors, from norman yee to kim and others have really been key in that safety of bicycling in the city as well and so we are looking forward to that. And lastly, i wanted to just, again, say that in moving forward, with the bicycle coalition, something for everyones safe and the other peoples groups will keep hopefully this issue alive and the resolution, calls for annual hearings on the progress of bike theft. And it also acknowledges the work that has been done in the past few months on this city wide program and so thank you everyone and thank you so much and i urge support for the resolution. Great, thank you, thank you very much. Supervisor mar for introduces this resolution and again, your leadership on this issue and i certainly am very prod to be supportive and a cosponsor of this and i also want to acknowledge that all of this work is being done in a way that the truly reaches every san franciscan and including, a lot of folks that speak different languages, and very culturally competent way in which this is being done and i think that it is really, it is really important and greatly appreciated because, the fact is that you know the more people know about this, the more people are involved, the safer all of us are. And so that is very important and i dont know if my colleagues have any other comments and so, i will now, entertain a motion on this resolution and so we will have a motion by supervisor yee. And if we can take that motion to move this item forward with the possible recommendation without objection. Again, thank you to everyone who came to the meeting today. And mr.

Wire super proud to have our ribbon cutting. Some of you have had a tour and youll be able to see all the wonderful things. A little bit about some of the things we did if develop this space is it was very important that we use Green Building design standards. So in all of our construction of the project and so many of the things the lighting for example, the heating and cooling systems all done with lead compliant standards and then in the near future well be using solar on the roof and generating such as 75 percent of our Power Requirements here. So very green approach to the space. So this is the home of our Consumer Product groups headed up by this lady and as well as our advanced Research Groups thats doing bioresearch. So i think without further ado its my great pleasure to introduce the audit desks president ceo ceo and chief maker. Carl was instrumental if helping us choose the equipment and hes capable of working with everything in the shop so carl clapping good morning, everybody. And thanks for being here. Its a real pleasure to be able to stand here and open up the facility. As i look around i see many, many people who are instrumental in helping this project get started. As many of you know building a project its not a typical building or a typical use your typical site and we worked closely with many of the people both on architecture and construction and people in the City Government and people at the port. Everybody was wonderful. Its making up it seems like months ago it was a crazy idea and now it is already people have peeked in and seen is it. Its what everything wants. Were really excited about it. For in developing our software so groups include the structurally group and it distributes the work and we have the tools to make what people want to make but also our advanced research group. So we have an advanced group here looking at the future of manufacturing. So were happy to are participate and its my pleasure to be here. Under were so many people that contributed. Ill just tell you theres nothing for fun ive been working on a gocart and trying out the equipment and a calibrating the machines but theres nothing more fun than the tourists coming walking down and be looking in and get to watch you use the equipment 80 to make stuff. Its really a great location in being not only in the center of the city. Theres so many things that hearsay a hands on place but this is the next place. How do we take science and make it a workable item. Thanks to everybody clapping all right. Thank you very much carl. Mayor lee thank you. Invite you up next. Wow. First of all, chris and carl congratulations to everyone with auto desk. And unusually its been about the Office Expansion at the one market had he highway his staff is expanding. And its invaluable to our own Tech Industry and our capital that our city a proud to be that all desk is right here. When you go to the museum youll realize theres a new history here. Some years ago the engineers and the architect in my office came up to me and said youve god got to understand cad the computer sawdust thing now everybody is on computer. This is the new training we have to do and fast forward you go to the laboratory sites in mission bay and look at the bio sciences what were doing and you see our own cells in 3d and how the medical dloefrz are being made and you can from people who design the Golden Gate Bridge and you realize this technology is now infiltrating everything we want to do with cell structures and assisting doctors discover how to look at cells easier to get to the solutions of the big diseases. Well, now youve got this space and walking through here with supervisor chu and supervisor kim were calibrating ourselves what the heck to do because there is so much to be done. I can talk about it but i have to suggest it to you this is the beginning of manufacturing what we thought it was. There is a redid i mention going on with the machinery the way this 3d ability at looking at things in an additional way and making them available to the intirnlz this year this is what the ports always wanted to do exhibit this. For years monique and i have tried to a figure out how do we get our waterfront that much more innovative. The reason why you take such views you match them with the innovative spirit we have on staff at auto desk and you realize people inventing things here is going to be incredible and auto desk is in the center. Youre looking at a company thats going to teach people how to use tools like this. One of their staff i think nova has his own website to teach people how to kiss. Of course, ive induced supervisor kim to go directly to that website to be instructed but thats one of thousands of instructions that gone with new tools. I talked to carla few minutes ago about the introduction of tablets into the schools and the kids might get the applications. Its incredible part of our education were fast forward not only are those machines and tools exposing people to a new way of manufacturing but we need to make more things and allow the world to do it in a modern way. Its not just having the workshops but exposing them to the 3d abilities. That manufacturing that ability to manufacture onshore will be introduced right here in San Francisco because of this incredible performance. They have a bio printing. Whats that. Some of the people from my hometown in seattle want to give him a bet on the 479 and seahawks and they want me to shave off my mustache and if i do that i dont expect too because well win i have bio printing to help me roar that maybe ive got a tool. The bio printing is going to be an extremely serious work. Along with the playful and educational introduction were on the verge of a huge transportation. Just like when the engineers came to my office were no longer going to use 2 dimensional were going to help everybody to solve problems in the world. Its that addressed dimension and its incredible to fast forward a new economy thats going to be here. So you can obviously feel the excitement its like walking into a candy store and thinking and calibrating what we can do as a city to support this just explosion i think that will go on. Its happening in the city and the waterfront and congratulations carl and youre wonderful staff being here introducing us to a new version of the markers movement manufacturing. Im proud of the city and of the people here because it begins with peoples to his and it improves peoples lives. Thank you very much clapping thank you very much. And we certainly appreciate your support throughout the project. Another gentleman whos been helpful throughout this process is supervisor chu and ill introduce him to come up and make a few remarks thank you, sir let me first say that supervisor kim and you are still thinking about the website but we need an instrumental video to teach the mayor how to shave the mustache. I want to introduce newest member and supervisor kim reminded me that you have also extended our generosity as a neighbor northeasterly he will e helping us to port the job training to everyone can be part of our technology boom. It was an, however, to move all of you here i want to thank supervisor kim. I was excited because 4 years ago i started a Software Company and as mayor lee and jane know more many, many years i thought our city is so close to Silicon Valley by the way, we all wondered why wasnt more of that happening in our city. Its great to be part of that movement. Really this is about good things. I want to talk about how were transforming our waterfront. We were talking about our peers that were literally crumpling into the sea whether the new explore tuchl thank you, very much but were transforming our waterfront thats been here for over a century and transforming it, its beautiful so its part of the bay and a respectful. The last thing i want to say im excited about all the cool things. I have two more things to ask you to make. We have to show up for a lot of things so i want you to clone elected officials and the last thing hopefully, youll need a bigger 3d printing machine of muni buses that dont breakdown so thank you clapping yeah, we need a big printer. Laeft the supervisor monique well good, afternoon on, on on behalf of the port staff and commissioners its an honor to have you here at the pier 9. The port is celebrating its 1 hundred and 50 anniversary. The reason the port was founded was to do something to build our seawall. And from the seawall i dont know how many of you know that land is at the hotel at montgomery so everything is resting on the seawall. It strikes me to know how cool it is to welcome auto desk for their innovation. The seawall was designed on a dine competition. The very first phase was awarded to a person who had the best design and there were 7 engineers who built this for a 1 and 50 years so its fantastic i cant imagine if they had you to know what the seawall looked like or how much longer is would last. Pier 9 is our secret and its great to see you all here. Thank you for your patience and its now sound like its not a secret anywhere but its an important place to us where we q can mayor Historic Preservation and not were doing fab list work and working side to side with the bar pilots which are over 1 hundred and 50 years old and i being a part of us. Youve joined a terrific area of our city. We hope that being at the bay inspires you everyday because were going to need your help on the sea rise. Welcome to all the auto desk staff its great seeing you along the waterfront this is the best place to get food. And my special thanks to the port staff and to premium structures and to the ate desk folks. Thank you and welcome to our waterfront clapping okay. So now we have the more formal part of the ceremony carl we need you to come up and all of you are going to be able to view through the window the ribbon grinding ceremony so were going to take this ribbon down.
