the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when

flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism.

>> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures.

the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are

expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists. as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant

arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years. these tapestries representing various gardens. from his years of living in san francisco. hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and whilst dahlias in rich, deep shades as they make their way to the baggage area. they can access behind-the- scenes information and interviews with the artist through an audio to work. it features archival audio as

cathy: online! ♪ when cousins are >> so good morning and welcome mr. mayor, mr. council general. everybody. it's great to see such a great crowd here for what for us is an extremely important event. my name is ed reiskin. i'm the transportation director here in san francisco and very pleased to welcome you all here this morning for what we expect will be a very lively and productive couple of days here in san francisco. the san francisco m.t.a. is the agency that's charged with implementing the city's transit first policy, which is about getting people out of their cars and into more sustainable modes of transportation, such as bikes, such as walking and transit in our great muni system. as someone who myself gets

around the city often by bike, and i do that by choice, but more importantly, i'm given the charge of our agency to get folks out oaf their cars. i can't tell you how exciting it is for me to think all of the brain power and enthusiasm for cycling that's in this room are going to spend the next two days working with us to help us figure out how we can do every -- even better. although we've done a lot in terms of bicycling and increasing the mode of bicycling as a transportation of choice and we're very proud of what we've accomplished, there's a lot more that we can do and a lot more that we need to do. it's not just because riding around on a bicycle is for fun, which i think it is, or at least it is for some people. let's hear it for the mayor.

it makes people more healthy, it's good for the environment. but one of the real kind of more compelling reasons for me is something that struck me. i had an opportunity a year ago with many of the folks who are in this room to travel to the netherlands and spend a week. we went to four different cities and it was an opportunity to study the transportation infrastructure in the netherlands and to basically try to learn how have they done it? how have they gotten so many people onto their bicycles? one day we were riding around amsterdam, it was towards the end of the week and we were being toured around by a gentleman from amsterdam and we were driving around on our bikes and it's this beautiful, beautiful stifle. beautiful brick buildings, the canals, bicycles everywhere and he said as we were riding a simple kind of thing. he said imagine all these

bicycles that you see. imagine if they were all cars. it was a very kind of simple but profound statement. the entire character of amsterdam would be completely different. it would really be ruined in my estimation. it would be clogged with traffic and noise. the air would be polluted. everybody would probably be fatter and it just -- it wouldn't be -- it's part of what has enabled amsterdam to be greet is the way they've done their transportation. and when you think about san francisco, a tiny little city, seven by seven. we're going to get another 100,000 people in the next 30 years, it's not going to work if they all bring their cars. what my charge is figuring out how to make it safe, attractive, and inviting for people to get around on a bicycle and make sure they're

bicycling safely and that people who are around them, such as pedestrians and others are safe with more people on bikes. this is the focus of the workshop. it's going to be on three critical areas for our city. polk street, dewiggle and central market. our expectations are very high. we're very grateful to the nether land consulate and the folks who have come here, some of who you'll hear from this morning for bringing their time and expertise and lover and passion for cycling to us here in san francisco. we do have a great advocate for cycling here, although sometimes he says he needs a little bit of an electric motor to get up that hill by his house. he is 100% supportive of increasing the bicycle use in this city. been focused on the development

of places like central market, which is one of the focus areas of this workshop. without further ado, i'm happy to welcome up to the mike our mayor, mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you, ed. morning, everyone! welcome here to city hall in san francisco. delighted to join this wonderful opportunity here and council general, thank you very much for bringing a wonderful team from netherlands to help engage us even better and to excite not only us who work here at city hall but our traffic engineers, our bicycle coalition, our educators and all of the bay area guests. we have guests from even san rafael council here as well to share in this experience. as ed mentioned, i am a very

big enthusiast but i want to be more than just a cheerleader for this. leah knows this as well. i know that there will be times where we have to challenge ourselveses to go a little further because there are great secrets that we don't know today that will be unleashed. and one of them is going to be our own economy. that there are some great secrets to unleash when we have alternatives to how we use our roads and how we can open them up to even more diverse use, safe uses of our roads. and certainly our bicycle enthusiasts have a great contribution to that as i saw on grand beach and chinatown. when you close from tower to bush street and allow the people to get out there, you

can see some fantastic results and we're going to patiently wait for the statistics to show us how much that impact was. but i want to simply welcome you here today and to put something in context they know will be exciting for us. you know that bicycle travel has increased over 60% since 2006. and that if we are to make sure that our goal of bicycle trips of being 20% of every trip that is in our city to be 20% by 2020, we're going to have to work a lot harder. we're going to have to educate more people. we're going to have to bring a lot more people under the tent, and we're going to have to understand how leadership and education and enforcement work together with a cultural change that we have to produce in our city. we are, not only in name, a transit-first city. we also want to make sure that,

if we are to accomplish that goal that we set out some years ago with my predecessor gavin newsom, a board that we all agreed to, every agency in this city, that we are going to reduce our emissions in our city by 2020 below the levels and be a leader in the rest of the world and keep our status as the greenest city in north america wears -- we're going to have to work that much harder and be very focused and dedicated and i want so much to do that for this city, because we want to be and continue to be the leadership of bicycles and alternative travel on our streets. i want to thank our dutch friends for being here, for having invited ed and board president david chiu and so many other leaders to host their way at the look other cities in the netherlands have

been increasing bicycle opportunities for everyone to participate. the last time i was in amsterdam was in 1969, council general, and it was in high school where our high school choir was blessed with having an international trip. so i sang on the corners of amsterdam as part of our great high school opening -- awakening of our understanding of europe and how it was related to the united states and i wish i was able to be invited then 42 years ago to ride a bike because in high school that's all i had was a bicycle to junior high and high school. that's the way we got around. and then to marvel at how, as adults, we could reengage ourselves with things that got us around the city for our high school jobs to, school and back home and to reengage not only youth here but seniors and

residents of all walks of life to be able to bike to work in clothing like this not just some bike to work day. every single day would be a marvelous thing to see and experience and again, to unleash that secret that our neighborhoods could be that much stronger if we had the bicycle balance that we should have. this year we're also challenged, and i want to speak to all of you who who are going to be reviewing the sensitive areas around market street and polk street and the wiggle, which i got to experience earlier this year that. wig is very challenging. it was evolved organizically by those who wanted to deal with the elevation challenges of that street. but as we rode that street, the thing that i remember the most is how close it was to so much automobile traffic. and the need to really work on

issues of safety as we go through market street, as we go through polk street, how intense these streets are over utilized and the challenges that we're going to have in looking at these transit areas is not only met with the enthusiasm we have for bicycling but the very indict push that we have to have in this city because it's going to be more than enthusiasm that's going to get us there. it will be leadership, enforcement, all the things that you know we have to do to change culture. what i've been doing is talking with a lot of residents on the west side of this city who are challenged because they're so used to being in their cars and they feel that righteousness of having an expensive vehicle and having paid for it and all the insurance and all of that i used to have when i had my three cars. that we only needed one.

maybe a half a car and i had three because i was in that culture myself, and to think back about what really led me to feel that way and trying to pierce that culture that we still have very much in the city, that it's my road and that those who want to introduce something different, it's their responsibility to be more safe than i because it's my road. that's what we have faced up with. and a lot of these corridors do have a direct connection to the ramps that go to our freeway. so it's very hardcore values and culture that we're facing to really make that change. so i want to work with you. i am very excited to learn from these two day of intense thinking and exchange, how do we really get to the core of that culture and how i might, as the mayor working with the board of supervisors, who i

know share the need to unleash even more of our goals in this city to share the roadway, how we can do this with the experience of our friends in the netherlands and with the great team they've assembled to work with us. how do we make that transition as smooth as possible and keep not only the balance, the forging of the goal of sharing our roads? that's going to be the great challenge. so i look forward to the recommendations you have in these two days. i want to be engaged as much as i can so i have many of my staff here to work with you and i will look to the leadership that ed is bringing to our transit system to be with me to voice the direction that we want to have and i will be there for you as the mayor of this great city and working closely with our board so that we can educate, that we could make those challenges change, but most importantly, that we

can provide the leadership that is needed to forge a new culture in our city, one that will unleash our own strenthening of our neighborhoods and our own economic strength as well as our own strength of people. i will begin say to you that the enthusiasm is very real. you see the people who use these roads when we close them off to traffic. not to say that cars aren't necessary still to get around, but that there is a movement that is so, i think, contributing to the value and quality of life in this city and in the region and for our whole country that we can be the leadership up here. so again, thank you very much council general. thank you tort dutch team for engaging ourselveses the next two days. i look forward to these recommendations and if i may i'd like to introduce a very, very fine council general who very fine council general who is excited to be here, that
