I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Madam clerk, are there any communications . Yes, madam president. From supervisor farrell, dated march 8th, requesting that he be excused from todays meet colleagues, is there a motion to excuse supervisor faler . Motion by supervisor avalos, seconded by supervisor cohen, colleague
Tomorrow im about to hear both when you say here us, is that the commission and the Business Community . My suggestion, first of all, added to this i would appreciate getting the signature support of all the businesses in the corridor. That is crucial. 2nd, i think the sfmta is silence to nights. I think it would be best for the process to get their view of things. And asked them to postpone their voting, the vote on this issue and allow the process kind of a democratic process is the president suggested maybe to take place in this for him to come and present their side and tell us why all of what has been submitted to date has not been taken into account. Its concerning when we face an issue literally with a 24hour deadline and theres been no presentation by anybody at this meeting before this point. So, i think it certainly is a rational request that we go another cycle, a month, where we can put on the agenda presentation by the sfmta an additional presentation by the Citizen Group

Not a lot of people want to bid this in terms of meeting the federal requirements we prepared the analysis because that project cost was something we wanted to see if we could lower and minimize the risk of construction and frankly, weve done just that we went to the analysis study that exclude the contractors as well as engineering experts they are recommendation to shift Hillcrest Road to the north and frankly push the roads into the hillside and build a tiered retaining wall this will approve the retrofitting and tida it will require additional jerry and an environmental analysis but the good news we over all project cost lore we see it 66 million and we believe that the Contracting Community will be very anxious more of the contracts to bid the job just the pictures here show whats in right the shifting to the north this is a Cross Section showing where in essence were going to build one bridge out of the 3 by shifting the roads into the hillside more retaining walls thirty to 50 f
