Weve been talking closely with our counter parts at the sfmta about how to speed up the part of the process theyll be taking over the final design process. For instance, one of the things we could do is we could start their work after the selection of an lpa before we get to the certification of an environmental document. They could start that process for final design. We think that could save some time as well. Were definitely looking out for ways we can compress the schedule. And i appreciate ...

In terms of that shorter deliver process. Given the challenges that mta has had and in delivering the projects in a time effective way why should we be confident this is real. Thats a question to staff. Through the chair thats an excellent quo.
