This month, i want to start by congratulating director of our Capital Projects. His project and partners at the Treasure Island development authority. Cal trans, the Bay Area Toll Authority and the United States coast guard for the south gate road realignment project held earlier this month. This project will provide a stable connection for bicyclists and motorists connecting on and off on it i80 on the san open bay bridge. This is open to visitors and neighbors on the island which is growing with several housing projects under way. Next id like to convey our Transportation Authority support to the operator who was viciously attacked by a passenger after asking three passengers to wear face coverings. This may have been a hate crime as evidenced by the passenger accusing the driver of asian descent of having corona virus. Ive already made inquiries to the sfpd and District Attorneys Office and will work with them to ensure a thorough investigation and followup. No arrests have been made yet. The board stands with all of our drivers and all of our front line workers during this pandemic. We will absolutely not tolerate hate or abuse as a sacrifice to serve our city. I hope we find those who perpetrated these horrible events and bring them to justice. Finally id like to elaborate on an item that weve been discussing here since october of 2019. This obviously is going to be the subject of discussion today, later today the board of sawp supervisors, thats the decision we made last tuesday to place a sales tax on this moves ballot together with santa clara coun county. I dont want to put words in commissioners mouth but i think we both remain hopeful that representatives will support us in advancing the voter consideration and if passed sets up an immediate and long term set of funds with a near term discussion of cal tran governance support. These are key to support that San Francisco and santa clara which together provide 80 of anticipated tax proceeds have an equal say at the table which is critical given the progressive nature of the tax and the many important decisions before us particularly as they relate to equity. I want it reiterate that we believe cal tran is a fe phenomenally criticalits never a good time to deal with governance but we cant keep kicking the can down the tracks. Now is a time for all of the partner counties and create an equity, accountable, organization. Thank you. That kn colludes m concludes my. Any Public Comments on the chairs report . checking Public Comments. I see nobody on line. Public Comment is closed and well go to executive directors report. great. Thank you, chair. Good morning commissioners. This morning ill note quickly that we want to provide a more full update on the events in washington d c on the senate and administration taking up the next phase of covid 19 relief.

The commission which commissioner ronan sits, thank you for your representation there. Approved draft projects. All of our priorities did make it in to be recommended for the plan. It has not yet been adopted, that will happen next year. This is a significant mile stone to ensure certain projects are in at this point and will be worked on over the coming year for valuation and environmental review. Downtown extension project was placed in the first half of the plan period which positions it well for the endeavor to meet the six party mou project party team. This will help the project be scet active for the coming years. Next ill turn to it the regional measure three bridge toll update.
