The franklin upgrade requested funds to upgrade the traditional along franklin street and the divisadero street corridor for it to be upgraded like poles and larger more visible signals and the pedestrian consultant u compound signals here we have the potrero hill and traffic stop improvements project the junes project agenda included an item for the potrero hill Transportation Plan this request for the improvement Capital Funds help to fund one of the recommendations and leverages almost 500,000 in lifeline programs for the preparation and improvements that accommodates the traffic and increases the Pedestrian Safety is on 5 intersections shown on the screen those could be eyed to provide space for elevated complafrmd and bulb outs lombardi street corridor a request for nearly 8 hundred 50 thousands some area marked as Capital Funding the bulk of the request for the design of 14 bulb outs both pedestrian that is coordinated and billed as part of the caltrain project that includes the Construction Funds for a number of Pedestrian Safety improvements and also 75,000 for Transportation Authority staff to provide support with the caltrans and overhead permitting it was included in the request of the public works 19th avenue is next the prop k funds funds Transportation Authority for technical sausages during the design stage if the department to provide continuity for similar to the bottom of the hill o lombardi vacationing situation some of the tasks constituent in the scope for the 75,000 will be to provide guidance with the caltrans rectify and permitting review and interpreting caltrans technical review for milestones throughout the project the plans and programs put in a request for the combined city project the design phase is signals that is part of the multi integrated bronze to different infrastructure an all in favor, signify by i including the better signals and for people walker and by the Public Works Commission a Transbay Transit Center communication overview the Transbay Joint Powers Authority is requesting money for the Overview Program math and Property Management formals f 20152016 this might look familiar the work that is fund similar to pass the allocations to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority that the Transportation Authority has made those funds are programmed for this purpose within prop k during item 10 on the agenda eel youll hear an update on the cost increase for phase one that didnt impact the current request next is the given brt faeshltd study the prop k funds provide as part of the november Transportation Authority appropriation youll hear more on 9 agenda recommending the report to that project with that im going to turn it over to chief suhr take care for the geary project. Morning supervisor tang and members of the board this is for the geary bus rapt project this is in the Environmental Review stage 10 percent Engineering Design level Transportation Authority is the lead for this peace of the project but sfmta is is the leading agency and an individual from the mta is here to answer questions to release the document document in the fall and middle 2016 to bring an action item to the the right board to approve the project and close the environmental process the intent to advance the Engineering Design so this the improvements can be shovel ready the first of those requests is what we call the construction phase a lower set subset that could precede soon after the environmental process but the funds are for conceptual and final Engineering Design the improvements are the side running transit of the portion and the bus and pedestrian bouths and signal upgrades second request for the geary bus rapt is for phase 2 this includes the central bus lines and the mediums that go along with that portion of the corridor those will bring the improvements up to the thirty percent design level again the intent to start this work now so we can be closer to the shovel ready when the environmental process is completed does chad have any closings comments if not, were done. Supervisor yee. Thank you supervisor tang this is not a question i wanted to make a comment i wanted to really thank there were a group of people that came to my office to point out the issue with the Paratransit Program in particular for those who are living on the west side the seniors and people that were not mobile but had a difficult times getting the services on the east side and sometimes, we dont come up with solutions and when we do come up with Solutions Working with sfmta and the Transportation Authority to say well, what do we need to get in fixed so this will be an acceptable time for people not sitting in a van for 3 hours to get the service only becomes one hour and 3 hours back to their homes i want to thank both organizations for being flexible and creative in vrnlt solutions. Reporter thank you, colleagues any questions or comments on this thank you sfmta staff for the prop k allocations at this time ill open up for Public Comment any Public Comment on item 7 okay seeing none, Public Comment is closed and colleagues if we could take item 7 well take that without objection. That item passes item 8. Item 8 recommended topics of the of adaptation of the chinatown final report an action item. Thank you brian. Hi, everyone ryan senior Transportation Planner with the Transportation Authority this item begins on page 53 of your packet im here today as steve said to present the final report of the chinatown Transportation Plan that was funded by prop k that was to identify the priorities in local communities especially communities of concern and im sure youre aware of we created the program in a similar vein this project focuses on the chinatown the concern among the Community Concern has the highest shares of elderly and disabled residents so fragile and unique community so we worked closely with Community Members to identify their key priorities the priorities we identified for the studies were really particularly about Pedestrian Safety and especially on broadway and kearny street when, in fact, are the high corridor in chinatown in addition to stockton street on broadway we heard there was a lot of concern about Pedestrian Safety and particularly the relationship of Pedestrian Safety to travel volumes on the street as part of van ness bureau project in particular we heard about concerns of the traffic volumes and you know the future of the street and we did a review which included analysis of ideas that came up with Pedestrian Safety and did a review of plan projects along the corridor we found for broadway street there is a robust pipeline of shovel readies Pedestrian Safety improvements for most of the, in fact all of the high injury intersections along broadway between columbus and van ness this is part of the Broadway Polk and columbus straight studies and identified that there could be further enhancements to the Pedestrian Safety through the signaled timing adjustments to identify those particularly for polk and stockton streets and there maybe other opportunities in the future kerney street different from broadway unlike broadway not a pipeline of Pedestrian Safety improvements project from my prospective looking at the data for kerney is should be a top priority for Pedestrian Safety emergency this graph is showing really gary the Pedestrian Safety record on kerney with others high injury corridors in chinatown and elsewhere in the city as you can see curry is on the far right has a far worse think records than the other high injury corridors in chinatown itch higher than other high injury corridors in the city a very significant issue and priority so ill briefly share some of the top trshtdz on curry street we saw conflicts with a number of loeshgsz locations you have double turn lane if you have experience crossing goons against two lanes of turning vehicles is it can create a situation that cross pedestrians have not visual and a number of distance a number of high volumes of vehicles conflicting is crossing pedestrians weve observed pedestrians violations and another important contributor the fact that kerney so relatively uncongested we saw in general the intersections were operating for vehicles and traffic was moving generally high speeds so 32 mileperhour for example for the speed limit of 25 this makes a difference for an elderly civilian this is a significant issue that well need to address other issues are slow muni speeds 6 to 7 mileperhour on this corridor closely spade stops between turning vehicles as well and a bicyclist high injury corridor identified as a provided for the muni forward process and the bike strategy there are a lot of needs Pedestrian Safety and transit improvements and Bicycle Safety are issues weve been working with sfmta to identify how to address those issues moderating and one of our top recommendations to move forward as quickly as possible with intersections of clay a recent fatality that occurred there fortunately we are that working to identify improvements that would, implemented shown on the screen very short time treatments we also have identified that this corridor as i mentioned the very significant issue with Pedestrian Safety really needs a corridor length treatment not just intersection spot treatments that address the safeties along the entire corridor with the transit and Bicycle Safety so we need a corridor solution one that can be implemented quickly again weve worked with mta and the community and mta has identified a project manager that we have questions from him theyll be coming in september for an in tip request for funds to study this corridor and recommend improvements so theyll be able to share the details but plan to move ahead with this and we have identified 3 concepts we feel should be looked at as potential corridor to address Pedestrian Safety and other issues one option a series of pedestrian scrambles along the corridor or a road diet and introduce striping that might include the removal of double turn lanes and changing the timing to reduce speeds and implementing sgrarlz up and down the corridors any solution could potentially solve the problem but want to emphasize any Solutions Addressing the speed that is problematic for the fag i will Elderly Population and address the conflicts of the turning vehicles thats a major contributor to the peaceful problem we look forward to working with mta im pleased were able to move forward to the recommendations with mta leads in the next step thank you all and look forward to our comments. Thank you very much for your presentation. Supervisor christensen. I have a couple of questions im assuming you looked at the causes were concerned you recommended the focus on the death so the presentation didnt include the leading usas causes of injuries. Uhhuh and so ones i mentioned the conflict. Proportionly. Im aware of the maneuver ability issues and not so much the speed to what degree is speed. It is a major factor the study they you know ranked issues and speeding come out of the top issue and we confirmed that with the speed surveys of it it the sample was 32 mileperhour that might not seemed to me that fast to a driver but an elderly pedestrian between 35 and 32 is numerous it doesnt need to be like 10 miles per hour. The question the degree to which we associate those finding with the injuries on the corridor. Yes. We can. Yes. I think come on i havent seen that level of detail. I object to provide that. In terms of a road diets the next streets going west are grant avenue and stockton street ill saying saw i say in the context of road diets those streets are starving if you clamp down how traffic what is the impact on adjacent streets. We havent gone favorite than this phase we need to look at that issue. Because certainly something needs to be done thats clear and everybody is trying to figure out that i dont know if you or your colleague can answer we have the guests central subway coming oly havent seen preparation for the increase in foot traffic weve got east west like clay and washington that are going to connect with the chinatown with the financial district for example to what grey degree did preparation for that change. We didnt look at that as part of the study fiscal year on the Pedestrian Safety the exist Pedestrian Safety issues i mean, ill is that any steps we can make to improve Pedestrian Safety on the have the is important it makes those changes critical i know theres an interest in do the sidewalks have capacity on franklin and clay thats a significant issue needs to be looked at we didnt look at that as part of this work. Thank you so i dont know if it is appropriate at this time but as you mentioned were looking at both narrowing the scope of study in relations to a project gnarling or narrowly it to the kerney square where a lot of injuries occur and the anticipated growth it expected and broadening it to include the subway and portsmouth square weve got to garage queuing for the square and the entrance to the square again i dont know if the study went deeply into how to address it i dont know if it is appropriated to have the colleague comment on that is that possible. You want it . Thank you very much uhhuh. Welcome. Hello greg with the San FranciscoTransportation Authority plans Programs Committee i took my assignment and kerney street figured out go vision 2025 corridor and the muni corridor this is a bike strategy corridor and thats all the information ive been working on this and the recent developments ive been working closely with ryan and the launch of the kerney corridor and the transit safety it is a catchy name that will be launching this fall and immediately is the curry where the fatality we knew before that that was the most disastrous intersection so many we have ideas id like to share with you guys at the appropriate time i dont have the details but again a lot of interest in the community to do something extremely immediately if we want to focus on this and focus on the corridor as quickly as possible so thats the larger project. So were talking basically about washington clay curry within a couple of blocks of the location the garage and entrance all of that tabled web and maybe preliminary to ask if you have some schedule some rough target of when we might be getting recommendations and. For the immediate intersection. Id like say both. Im approach it with immediate curry and washington immediacy hope to have ideas out there one the next couple of weeks and implemented by the mta for the signal shopping shop within a month or two my first implementing project im learning how the implementation goes but it is a huge priority hoping i can do it quickly and then yeah immediately after that will be the kickoff of the involved community process, etc. Along curry street and we were delighted to have you on board and glad youll help us untable this. Colleagues questions or comments all right. I also want to thank ta no matter which district we represent visitors they go to chinatown were looking forward to the improvements all right. So at this time ill open up for Public Comment for. Is there anyone from the public that wishes to speak on item 8 . If you can please line up along this wall over here that would be great. Supervisor tang and commissioners as a member of the cac we were just slowly slightly briefed on this item a couple of months ago this sort of thing i know that supervisor christensen you wanted this moved forward because of the servicing but the gentleman that is from our district he had a lot of questions on the item this was with me i was wondering if theres a way you when we have our next cac meeting will we have a full report . It is this going to be going to go through without the cac knowing about it. We have our executive director tilly chang. Well be presenting this and cac meeting no september this is unusual but for reasons of the expectancy we wanted to bring it forward. Go for it like i said this is something we barely had a chance to go through the servicing but if you feel it is important then go for it as long as we can get an update and get the fill funding comes before us again in september when we have our meeting in august when we have our meeting and we can we have a recess next month and this item can go forward thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Morning, commissioners name may a chinatown residents today i want to address the concern the clay intersection that intersection it is important i live at the corner every single day i see many people crossing the intersection going home or park or school there also many hundreds of Senior Citizens seniors that walk slower to cross the street the streets are a caging challenge for people to cross so crosswalks is not visible to geary when the cars sometimes theyll block the crosswalks if you put youre in the seniors shoes the seniors walk slower theyll left in the street the cars with turning and they will have a higher chance of getting injured i want the mta or commissioners to truly effective engineering to change and make a phase for pedestrians to cross without worrying about be injured thank you. Thank you very much next and from chinatown cd d weve been working closely with the folks on this plan thank you to everyone at the ta for the efforts on focusing on broadway and curry id like to make comments on the prelims of this plan we would really like to see a finish we heard about a fatality it was really tragedy but not surprisingly to us the intersection at clay and curry our offices are located there we see the clchlts between the pedestrians and motorists we see the city metrics for the improvements needed for that intersection for the good folks at the sfmta if we could, of course, quickly evaluate this plan and plan for changes to the corridor but with an emphasis on clay and kerney that would be great and very importantly much needed for the supervisor we appreciate our continued focus on kerry street with the immediate focus on clay and kerney so we look forward to some immediate changes and we would like to thank everyone for their efforts. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good morning. Im listing i cant a youth in chinatown cac so in if i pass by everyday i sometimes look around and see seniors i work with pass by kearny street it worries about me theyre having trouble crossing the streets last sometime any sister participated in actually studying the corridor of kearny street to tally the violations and i was a bit surprised how much was collected i pass by this place everyday there are violations but seeing how it supposedly me i read the packet i saw one of the solutions would be the scramble system is separates traffic and pedestrians and also theres a lot of system in the street we know how the scramble system works there are no changes that are perfect but again, we need immediate action we want to save lives and hopefully what we can make changes before another life is taken thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good morning sxhigsz e commissions im andrew a resident of chinatown district 3 ive 0 crossed the kearny and clay intersections hundreds of time in my life for work or downtown or meeting with other youths across the intersection to the point often after often when i cross the east bay to clay curry a car will grace my back one second before the green light and sometimes when i walk on the Southern Side of the eastbound lanes i would find myself stuck in the middle because a car needed to cross we as residents knew it was dangerous data railroads the calibers it is tragedy a fatality where a that he had rightofway was violated at it sgrshgs last month im asking for is an Engineering Solution for the pedestrians not cars should have a head start thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Im david part of the chinatown cd C Youth Group over the incident that happened on curry we at the time set out with captain larry lazzaro original we were studying the left turn from clay to kearny thats where the incident happened most of violations happen when cars are making a right turn the two main reasons the reason that people the drivers radio not yielding to pedestrians and second they turn off lane instead of in the turn pocket they turn in the second lane and even like cars wouldnt even yield for people like captain lazzaro; right . Theres a big pedestrian issue in appear Pedestrian Safety and separating cars from pedestrians i think the skranl system is the way to go thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. Im maggie im a youth leader if chinatown cd c one of my top concerns for pedestrians and drivers in chinatown is, of course the intersection of clay and kearny i saw one of the proposed ideas was to make a make it illegal to turn left from clay to kearny on a red light i was thinking maybe make that turn a protected left turn to separate the pedestrians from the drivers because even at a green light the drivers still have to deal with pedestrians so if it was a protected left turn there is also two turning lanes it could give the drivers some more space. All right. Thank you very much next speaker. Hi, im stephen from chinatown cd c around kerry street is occupied by seniors and those seniors will utilize the kroouks crosswalks to get to the park where they entertain themselves ive seen in those are like dangerous left turns and a scandal system will help as well as the seniors to cross safely and on time thank you for your time. Thank you next speaker. Next speaker, please. Hello, im sandy consider chinatown as my second home im from the bayview neighborhood Martin Luther king said treat to justice is a threat everywhere it is facing pedestrian injustice not long ago there was a fatality collision on happened on kearny and clay and in this collision kearny street has the worst Pedestrian Safety record of any street in chinatown every time when i come out to chinatown i see that the problem is happening the cars the speed to kearny street may kearny is a place for them to dry through but for us it is our home maybe when you drive so fast you dont realize there is the integral hotel which houses a lot of low income seniors and the Elementary School is located on kearny street and occupancies if you were to slow down when you drive you would see that kearny street is not just a place to speed through a community of people pedestrians deserve to feel safe when they cross the street why did kearny street have the problem of cars speeding through why are pedestrians in kearny street getting hurt . In here today id like to ask the engineers to get cars to slow down for chinatown we demand judged for Pedestrian Safety thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hello my name is stephanie im a youth leader at Chinatown CommunityDevelopment Center i usually see seniors cross by kearny and clay street they usually go to the accredit to volunteer and when they get through that food pantry the food are heavy and very hard for them to walk on kearny and clay street because cars goes by kearny street usually turn at a really fast pace and it is hard for seniors who get food from food pantry to walk at a really fast pace on the street so i believe that the street on kearny street should be converted from a dual turn to a single left turn thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Morning my name is nicole the executive director of walk sf and want to thank all the youth that come out and the cd c and kearny and clay and especially ryan that has been leading this project we at walk sf have been involved that supporting cd c and ta in moved 24 project forward for the last year and a half id like this youth working on this project to raise their hand raise your hand. Weve been working on this over a year and it took a death took blood on the ground for us to prioritize that is in the acceptable we need mta to move a project forward quickly we need a scramble in the ground dont need to study the skranl we need mta to get this in the ground before kids and seniors start crossing that street even though their crossing at high rates everyday the inaction is unacceptable i at walk sf asking mta to move on this one intersection for the last year and a half not seeing any movement we need to not just talk about those problems and wait for someone to die on the street think about your grandmother or grandfather it is not acceptable the skremg scramble need to get into the ground and stop making accuses is there any additional Public Comment on item 8 seeing none, Public Comment is closed supervisor yee. Thank you i just want to thank the folks for coming out especially nicole i grew up around that 2, 3, 4 district 3 and does a lot of my adult work in district 3 im familiar with what people are talking about absolutely clay and kearny street and washington should be a priority to look at i fully port the use of system advantages in those intersections it may slow down a little bit maybe we need to slow things down when i look at i go down there all the time and the only solution is really to have those scramble intersections in the other intersections there are other intersections on kearny that probably is waiting for something serious to happen and that includes bush and kearny it is same issue two lanes of cars going at a rapid speedy really would like to see sfmta look at that real quickly also before something a tragedy happens there thank you. Thank you supervisor yee colleagues, any other questions or comments i too want to thank everyone all the youth that came out open this particular item item 8 with that then if we could take this item without objection this item passes. Item 8. Recommended the geneva business rapt this is an action item. Thank you. We have david. Hi, good morning Deputy Director for the Transportation Authority plans Programs Committee this is the Feasibility Study that was recommend for adoption on page 57 of our packet im pleased to bring this the study look at the improved east west concentrating transit in brisbane study is actually building off the work in the transportation study with partners on both sides of the county line that connects the old and new community with caltrans and bart balboa park and caltrans station we concerned in the alignment one of the western sections on geneva avenue and the other part of the eastern section we look at in a second the geneva portion we looked at the top portion a 4 lines the bus Rapid Transit will be running on the side lanes and nonbuffered and substandard sidewalks on the bottom part of the slide the other option the bus Rapid Transit with the buffered bike lanes the eastern alignment two option in yellow actually in red on that screen it is the one we call the one way couplet that used the hollywood area to get the bus Service Cross 101 and the southern option that routes the bus through the bayview area for the buffer to the south we are working with ecology throughout the study to identify the timeline for the bayview option well talk about in the latter part of the presentation. For the one paw cup lightwell weve landmarked two all of the elements looking at keeping parking on both sides but enabling the bus service by reducing the sidewalk width and having the ground utilities the other option to remove the parking only one side and keep the sidewalks the same as current are right now in terms of understanding the impact parking would be reduced approximately from 1. 8 on Street Parking to 4. 5 the study team looked at the mitigation measures for not impacting parking too much so we heard concerns from the community and shared the benefits of the different all of the elements and basically we saw anymore reliable transit for the people moving into the shipyard and more frequent transit and less transfers to Regional Transit stops we have crossing opportunity on geneva avenue were looking at pedestrian for improved facilities for bicyclists but in terms of or in terms of parking availability in the neighborhood traffic diversion and changing the character of the neighborhood previous options you saw in the near timeframe from 2023 is the implementation date in the long term we looked at a brt service through the geneva extension through the Brisbane Development as you can see on the slide in addition to the brt we looked l r t an l r t between green Maintenance Facility that portion of the study to be concluded it is pend final determination of the benefits having that connection so in terms of technical finding brt is feasible l r t is feasible on grades ton geneva avenue again, the l r t is to be determined and brt has safety improvements with the full project for pedestrians and bicyclists there will be a next phase sfmta has come in with an allocation of funds ill give the microphone from sfmta to talk about the next phase quickly lloyd id like to thank the project manager in the audience for pushing that project forward and sarah for the ta who really the an amazing job in terms of carrying the process ill give the microphone to frank and ask susan representative of the cac to give us your remarks.

Quick update on the Construction Activity for phase one the below Grade Construction is complete and almost 37 Percent Complete and the overall construction of the transit Transbay Center 50 Percent Completely what we anticipate in the near it term the packages that have been award in 2015 it includes the landscaping at the land level level and interior finishes glazing packages and the awning construction, the bit packages that will be awarded last night in 2015 radio the rooftop escape and the bus that is the expansion drawings and the my mind construction age further in the remainder of 2015 are the scope of ground floors and rooftop and electrical and plumbing and the artwork the only thing left the Information Technology that will conclude the remaining work on the project small and Business Program is a very Robust Program for the project and has been successfully engaging Small Businesses in the project implementations from the onset of the project in 200410 percent of the total expenditures have been vociferated and paid to ges and 21 percent to f b es out of the one Million Dollars 5 hundred 57 hundred thousand of laboring labor on the project nearly 67 percent are local workforce and out of that 17 percent are San Francisco residents so the project challenges where we are today currently, we have increasing costs on the project due to perplex design and environment there are lots of building going on in San Francisco implementing the quality of the estimate provided by the gmc is less than desirable we had a mirror detail on the project for basically, you see the increasing due to the complexity of design and the big environment other thing to address the reaccomplishment of the program reserves the funding gap is 247 million a confidence level using the f t m i so more detail on the funding gap thats been present by tjpa as well as the project team it indicates we have option for addressing that one of the options as considered was detailing the bus storage but one of the aspects is the cost has gone up to 9. 5 million reflects a 3 million plus cost increase to address the funding gap we have heard about several options as i mentioned the referral of the bus storage will allow us to eliminate a 19. 5 million that this facility is serving ac transit that use it for the freeway and the concern they have is that they will have increased operating costs if they dont have this facility to store the buses the third includes an assess point into the t cc where the transit buses assess through into the facility they usually dont use their ramps that they are going to be built other option to use the sales of the parcels and one of the items weve talked about earlier is the parcel left tjpa is anticipating a anytime bid of one hundred 60 million this is a parcel between first and 2 and Howard Street that connects to the rooftop park the pharmacies or parcels were originally set aside for the project but we are looking at this as an option to close the funding gap tjpa will be hosting a live auction in december of 2016 and anticipate higher funds of one hundred 50 million i think i all right. With those two incorporated into the funding gap analysis what is remaining 87. 5 million to the address tjpa staff is looking to use the melrose fund currently 100 million for phase one a timing issue where the fund may not be available so a need for financing that has an issue are redirecting fund from feats one to two tjpa is looking at sponsoring opportunities project is well underway and tjpa feels confident they can deliver this one the proposed budget well be working to allow the project to draw down and continue to work on the advocacy for phase two of the project id like to thank mark of tjpa for his cooperation and collaboration in being here in the audience thank you all right. Thank you very much for your presentation supervisor breed. Thank you i had just a question you just mentioned that the anticipated project is going to basically come in under budget or within the budget and i had had information contrary to that there was an exception that the project would steady the budget considerably if this is the day why are we at a point it comes in at budget. I have to make sure i clarify i dont think they will be coming in under the budget currently approved if from 2013 they are seeking additional funds with their presentation to their board in september of 2015 that budget theyre going to take forgot regretting the 200,347,000,000 increase over the one. 899. Thank you. Supervisor yee. Thank you maybe i lost the place you started going through some of the fund that comes in. The current funding plan. Yeah. I guess this is a question with the 53 million they even though percentage wise it is a small percentage but the 3 million is just labeled other can you give us a better sense of the other 43 million will come from. The 43 million the local plan . Yeah. I will ask maria to help me out with that if you dont mind. They talk about the 7. Slide 7 the total is 9 hundred and one and youre asking what are the 43 million under other local and yeah. Like i said this is a small percentage relatively speaking but the 43 million is a chunk of money. I dont know offhand but ill get you that information if you could address good morning, commissioners sarah with the tjpa largely it is contributions from transit their contributing 39 million to the project and approximately 10 million or so that is an lease and properties that were acquired and leased out to needing them for construction and investment. Thank you supervisor christensen. So its a lot of money to be throwing around i was curious so if seems like in a woo were sort of taking out a second mortgage and selling the families silver to keep our heads above water i guess my preliminary concern some of the impacts on the future phases so when we sold property that was intended to phase two and borrowed funds if phase two allocations and weve got 0 thirty percent confidence rating that where we are now really is the budget where are we going to be in phase two. Well currently phase two has a one thousand 857 million gap weve increased that number. Yes. So fast two has a long way to go to get the phasing gap thats one the main goals to enter contest. If we build it will they come. Yes. All right. Colleagues questions or comments okay. Seeing none then i think well go to Public Comment on this item theres a lot more work to do on item 10 . Please come on up good morning im tim ive been involved in this for 20 years i think the staff report is very good but i urge you to drill further into f it when newsom was mayor a threat well have a billion dollars business station with no train he directed a task force to create when ruled in the increase in pipelines pipes and zoning in the area that helped to fund the melrose district to provide fund for the downtown extension now the melrose funds turns out to be more wonderful than we thought and a chunk into the increasing costs of terminal you now look at we are on the road to a 2 billion bus terminal with two no extension i cant imagine the transit will not scream like a stuffed pig in not having their bus storage yard theyre a partner but cant be dismissed why not dismiss the artwork and give them the bus yard and detail that those are issues that need to be dealt with in a rigorous manner the park so for the sponsoring having the funding has not been particularly beneficial well try a second round that is an Additional Charge every time there is an increase to the melrose funds less mel restraining orders rose funds the melrose was to be leveraged to get even though money from other sources so we can have a dentist extension in no money in the melrose pot the well have a 2 million bus term and no twran you will be more bothered by what is going on thank you very much.
