[applause]. [music] [music] about 20 years ago the port was look to develop a network of open space and parks and to bring the art network and access to the bay to the entire 7 and a half miles of waterfront property. This location, 7 acres, identified a very important place to make a park for the community. The park was used very much for ship building. It was a very important location in the citys history. Iot best part of the water front was heavy industrial and did in the have opportunity for the public to get in and enjoy will bay and connected to the bay. They incorporated the historical value of the area people can learn what was here before, what is here now and then really be able to understand the community that they live in. This was a vibrant ship building area here for years and years. And you know here we got a slip away and for us to have an opportunity to teach our children the old way specials incorporate them in the new ways, it is endless. This will be an upon upon wonder uponful addition to the southeast sector of San Francisco it is green and clean and beautiful and access to the bay from a park is just going to be incredible. Jot things planned is going to make this a destination for the folkless in the upon community. Ability to come out and have a picnic on the grass. And to come out and use the picnic area with the tables and bbq pit and movie night and food trucks has an open space is exciting. We dont are much of it in dog patch. I think this will be a family and Community Based type park. The port is good about talking with the local people about things they might like. The whole place is a play ground they will not see anything like this before. I feel blessed have been part of the commission and the process of bringing this park to the community. This has been a Long Community lead process. Open space is something we have been doing in San Francisco for a long time. Connectivity we have to the waterfront and San Francisco is important. I cant wait to experience it as a residents and district supervisor. [music] hello operators, im jeff tumlin recollect director of transportation. Im jour San Francisco fire chief jeanine nicholson. First and formost, i like to thank you for everything you do to help our passengers get around the city. It is safety in mind we like to talk about what to do if you encounter any kind of emergency scene while on your route if you see a ambuljs and fire engine on the side thf street, this usually indicates there is some type of medical emergency. The first thing you should do is look out for Emergency Personnel in the area. If there is room to proceed, do so, if you cannot pass safely, contact the Transit Management control center for instructions. Active fire scenes meanple while may appear static but can become dynamic in seconds. You may see engines trucks and vehicles with flashing red lights. The best course of action is call the tmc and give as much information as you can, including the site and nature of the emergency. There should be a captain or Public Safety officer on the scene who can tell you what is going on. Then let you know whether you have permission to take a dudetore. If you are caught in the middle of the scene only proceed once directed by fire personnel. A Public Safety officer will guide through the emergency scene, tell you to wait or recommend that you go out of serveess if the emergency is prolonged. Be sure in this situation to give all proper notifications to the tmc. It is important to note that if you see a fire hose on the ground, stop. Do not drive over it. You never want to drive over a fire house. Firefighters have been serious injured. Remember the best course of action is notify your supervisor and the tmc and wait for instructions. Explain to passengers what is happen. If you cannot detour you have to stop and possibly go out of service as you waitd for direction from fire personnel.
