Im michael sitting in for our executive director elaine forbeses and im here to deliver this report on her behalf. Proud to welcome steven lee to the commission. Hes been a passionate advocate for hospitality entrepreneurs including service on the california and Culture Association and the San Francisco entertainment commission. And this experience and this focus will be greatly beneficial to the port and all of its business. So welcome commissioner lee. Thank you. Moving to economic recovery. Port staff have worked hard to recover and grow our business. And today were seeing more glimmer of hope as they celebrate, eat and enjoy all that weve got to offer. Im excite today report out on our financial status and our innovative mild stones for the organization in september and october. And after much anticipation, we invite them back to our climate part of the Economic Prosperity and will continue to be today. It has a long history in our city, the vessel was built in San Francisco by the shipping corporation in 1954. It was between 1850 and 19 38 there were 120 ferry boats in transportation. Today the climate is just one of 5 of that number that can be accounted for. So were happy that this treasure has been restored and will be available this month. It will be in the Conference Center and will be open to the public to enjoy. The Bay Area Council continues to ready the site for the climates arrival to once again contribute to the city and welcome more people to the water front in new and creative ways. Turning to equity i want to highlight the San Francisco youth. The summer interns have been hard at work learning what it takes to oversee the San Francisco water front. Our interns have been working on some very important projects. Guide have guided our interns to create maps. Review an updated database on on Board Property to ensure a current visual record. Assist staff to review and assist needs. Create a director with black latino and indigenous populations and many many more vital tasks. We wish our task. Theyre an inspiration to us all. Everyone is a decision to serve a better generation. That presents a nice segway to our next section. Resilience and will be integrated to all operations. Director forbeses is looking forward to add updates to the report going forward. At this time, several mild stones have been achieved this year and port staff have reported out on many of them. And expansion of that study to much larger efforts. In june the work program earned recognition at the 2022 flood and postal excellence awards hosted in united kingdom. The water front resilience was strongly committed. Were proud to partner with the army corps of engineers to protect the water front and the city from flooding. Highlighting defense of work in october. Next ill provide Enhancement Program of which we can see today. The project has created a new bike way to the fairy building to broadway. The update preserve and expand taxi zones in the water side of the embarcadero. The project i am praofpz two of the sections, at washington street, and add broadway. At a Education Plan which is critically important to encourage proper travel and traffic behaviors along the embarcadero as well as comprehensive update. Newly installed signage directs all users into the bike way and in doing so limits to limit e scooters. Next steps for the programs are the following. To use a new bike way and to be ambassador of appropriate use over the promenade. The evaluation will include changes using bike way versus prom nod and traffic compliance for all modes. And feedback from the commission. In closing, we want to thank you commissioners for your steadfast commitment. But before i close, i do want to say that director forbeses and all of port staff are happy to congratulate our president on a huge mild stone. Was appointed in august 1997 making her the longestserving commissioner. Also the first africanamerican woman to serve in the Port Commission. Director forbeses and i can spend the whole day talking what the port accomplished. Together with port staff, our partners and stakeholders. But what director forbeses really want to highlight is how generous commissioner has been with her time and responsiveness to in particular. In fact, it was commissioner brand on of the Southern Advisory Committee which was intended that the communities were engaged in Development Planning affecting their neighborhood and promoted equity and contracting. Happy 25th anniversary. If you step down we would love to give you a token of our appreciation. Thank you for your port. Madam chair. Yes, commissioner burton. Yes, i was struck by something in that about the awareness program. Nt a is informing the public as ambassadors along the embarcadero. What does that mean . I dont believe its an Education Campaign at this point to see if behaviors can be modified. And as part of their report, they will talk about what further strategies may be pursued in the behavior is not moving in the direction they want to. What steps can be taken and sta discussion will happen at that time as well.
