And so, theyre able to space them out very far. I mean bart is the same way. When were running short, twocar trains we have to deliver the same number of people. So right now, were running about 42 were scheduling 42 trains an hour and thats a signal of muni to run as many trains to fit into the tunnel. What this graph is showing is that were falling short of that because the tunnel is not able to handle the volume of trains that were scheduling for it. And so we need to provide upgrades to the tunnel in order to increase the capacity of the tunnel. As a comparison, cities like boston are running 15 trains an hour through their most congested corridors and were running 32. So were about double some of the other larger cities with major metro systems. And the result of that is that we run fewer, longer trains, which is something that were looking into. And that is one prong of the strategy and the other prong is increasing the number of trains that we can run in the subway, so looking a

Turn your microphone on, john, and go ahead. Good morning. Im the care of the Citizens Advisory Committee and im here to report on the most recent meeting of the cac. Beginning with item 5, allocation and appropriations of prop k funds for 6. 5 million, cac members expressed concerns of tacs used the express lane by the doorpool and express lane project request. The main issue was t n cs adding to congestion in similar ways to add congestion on city streets. There was also keen interest in the equity study and how it would be structured and conducted. They were to free up regular lanes from slower moving heavy vehicles there and thereby speed up regular requests. The members were surprised even though the station predated the add, there was little to provide accessibility in the ensuing years. The longterm plan is to m

During Public Comment, the cac was reminded the balboa park station is the se second largest transit hub in the city. We were encouraged to link better transit lines and take note of the comparative left of investment in this outer naked neighborhood in the city versus downtown. Lastly, there was an update on a regional measure and the faster freedom affordability speed transparenctransparency equity. The branding strategy might be met with public skepticism given the recent history of delays in big transportation projects and relatively small gains in transit speed people have experienced over time. The consensus is that any additional regional measure request should move transit forward in big ways. And that completes my report. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Larsen. Any questions for mr. Larsen . Seeing none, my members who would like to comment on the cac report . Seeing no members on this site, Public Comment is closed and thank you for that presentation and advice. Mr. Clerk, could yo
