good evening, president katz and members of the commission, member of the public. dianne oshima with planning and development group. i m providing a little bit of introductory overview for the presentation on the embarcadaro enhancement project that would be provided by patrick guerrero and [speaker not understood] at the sfmta to sponsor a city generated study to look at the embarcadaro corridor from the sort of the south end of fisherman s wharf where jefferson and powell meet all the way down to king and third where we get to [speaker not understood] bridge to look to see what are options available for possible conceptual design to improve bike access in a safe way to address the preservation conflicts we have been encountering with the popularity of pedestrians and san franciscans, visitors attracted to the san francisco waterfront on the embarcadaro. i think for many in the public, they come to the promenade and see that as this grand boulevard sidewalk along the water
and then a mentioned before, the national research council published a document entitled sea level rise from the coast of california, oregon and washington past, present and future which provides the science behind some of those guidelines. in addition, as you can see by this list on the screen, there are at least a dozen other efforts underway by different city agencies to address sea level rise and flooding in the city. and these are just a small portion of a myriad of other efforts that are underway [speaker not understood] to address sea level rise. what is the port doing about it? we actually are ahead in some areas. we have taken the steps to assess sea level rise and build understanding of the issue. the report submitted to you last year, stephens has talked to you about the seawall seismic evaluation and the scoping that s underway for the seawall retrofits. in addition, we are seeking assistance from the army core of engineers for flood [speaker not understood] proje
popularity of pedestrians and san franciscans, visitors attracted to the san francisco waterfront on the embarcadaro. i think for many in the public, they come to the promenade and see that as this grand boulevard sidewalk along the water side of the properties, and they consider the sidewalk and they are surprised and conflicted by the fact that it is a shared facility with bike access and other wheeled vehicles that share access to that promenade. the reason being is that historically the embarcadaro was a shared enhancement, a shared transportation facility for truck, horses, trains, vehicles and people because it was a working waterfront and that there was a recognition of the need for access of all of those different amortized to the piers for all of the business that was coming and going. and the port has never changed the formal status of the embarcadaro promenade so that even though it reads as a sidewalk, it really still has those functions. while we do have class 2
