Way through the bcdc port working through the process which we have briefed you on previously. In the north east water front, and we have quite a bit of improvement just through the directors announcement on opening of the herm an cruise terminal, the plaza, and clearly the explore torium has been a game changer for the north east water front and it is hard to imagine the change if you were not here then, but pier 27 was a news print terminal, when the plan was adopted. When a cotton warehouse and we had a Foreign Trade zone with the semitrucks crossing in 19 and 23, and so what the public has been able to enjoy, with the americas cup and with the permanent developments here with the opening of the cruise terminal, i think that it is something that provides that bridge between the Ferry Building area and Fishermans Wharf that we think has, you know, been a wonderful resource and has attracted so many more people to the water front. And there have been, however, difficulties with the de
There has been broad acceptance, of the projects that have been built, and some neighborhoods have had problems, with height. And particularly in the northern water front and other neighborhoods have welcomed the height and the water mark is example in the south beach neighborhood, and as we moved forward. In terms of looking in terms of prop b with we need to open the die long and how to formulate, the proposals that do need to go to the vote and hers what does that process look like in the future and also, we were moving away. And particularly on the west side of the embarcadaro and there has been a lot of attention to the resilientcy and the adaptation planning and our major neighborhood scale project at 337 and pier 70 do address the Sea Level Rise through 2100 and the fort and the sister city agencies are undertaking the Planning Efforts right now to look at seismic risk to the sea wall and to address the Sea Level Rise in places like mission creek.

And we have been working on the highlighting the importance of that issue, and again, i am going to reiterate on september 9th. We have a special presentation, at a time certain 4 00, and from an expert in Sea Level Rise. And John Englander and your predecessor will travis and they will be speaking on that issue, and widely but it is also specifically, as it pertains to the port and that is just one that we are on the same page once again on that as well. For which we appreciate. Feel free to invite your Board Members also. We will. And this is an opportunity for everyone that is affected by the Sea Level Rise to see what is really being presented.

And there was a water front land use, water front plan Advisory Board that was set up by the mayor and the board of supervisors, and the Port Commissioners at the time. And they worked to recognize the water front plan, which the Port Commission, embraced and adopted, with the addition of a water front design and access element. And i think that the importance of that element was really to set the stage for a comprehensive water front open space system.

And then, norical invested about 30 Million Dollars, in pier 96 to create the recycle central. And so, we have seen over 300 Million Dollars invested just through the real estate projects alone.

And we have installed two short Power Systems to reduce the emissions from the cruise ships, and from our ship repair operations at pier 70 and over 8 acres have been removed from the San Francisco pay and the projects managed by the Port Engineering Division and the Planning Group manages the programs that involve, thousands of hours of volunteers, at pier 94. And we have worked to try to bring our under pier utilities up to snuff. And so the report, in addition to surveying all of these projects a
