the city generally gets four or five projects. there are other projects around the city that have gotten this money. second street in selma, broadway, and others. i am presenting the mission district today. this would take the existing cross section that is very wide and difficult to cross with a lot of fast-moving traffic and humanize that. we showed several options. the money that we have currently will not build the features. it is just for the sidewalk greening, the corners, and

restriping of the lanes. the other thing i wanted to highlight was the mission community market. it happens weekly on barlet street. it opened last july. we worked with a number of merchant and community groups to move it forward. then it opened. that is also happening. there are a couple of other projects that have been built as parks projects. the plan has ideas to make those permanent. those exist through the park's program now. it is pretty straightforward. what we're asking you to approve this to change the general plan policy in the mission area plan

that would adopt the streetscape plan into the general plan. the policy crowley says to develop a comprehensive plan for the mission. we did that. we want to change it to say improve the mission district streets and sidewalks in accordance with the mission district streetscape plan. that is the action before you today. supervisor mar: supervisor wiener? supervisor wiener: thank you for your work on this important project. i have a question about dolores street. are the only ones impacted 18th, 19th, and san jose? >> let me find it. supervisor wiener: i do not see anything except the stretch along the park and where dolores ends. >> it calls for improvement and

crosswalk treatments. that does not change the name configuration. the only place we proposed to change that is that san jose avenue. the seqa document include all the way up to market street. supervisor wiener: initially, there was a narrowing at market street. >> it is not in the mission street plan. is being discussed separately. we did not clear it with the environmental review. there is an issue about the historic nature of the dolores street median from the environmental review standpoint. we wanted to have that in the same document. supervisor wiener: there was some concern about traffic flow at market and dolores. speaking of the historic issues,

what is the status of the 18th and 19th? i know there was some concern expressed. i was skeptical of the concern. there was concern that it would impair the historic nature of the medians if the pedestrian safety work were to occur. i am very much in favor of doing the pedestrian safety work. it is important. i wanted to know if there was an update. >> through the review process, it was identified that the dolores median was a potential historic resource and did need more review if you were to make specific changes to the median. if we work to do work that touched the median, it would require additional historical view. that is my understanding. that would be about $8,000 to $10,000. if you did decide what changes,

it would not affect up. it would be $10,000 to do the historical view for the quarter. -- for the corridor. supervisor wiener: i think it is written. in terms of dolores and san jose, i have heard some concern about the impact on traffic flow especially on one area where people access to hundred 80 -- 280. can you comment on the impact it will have on traffic flow? >> let me put at the diagram -- the input of the diagram -- let me put up the diagram.

>> we do have an overhead. >> on page 40, there is an photo looking towards san jose. you can see in the southbound direction, there is currently one lane of traffic. the plan has two options with what to do. this would create a sort of a large plaza area that connects to the sidewalk and creates a public space. in the southbound direction, it is the same. in the northbound direction, it removes a travel lane. there is one that keeps that

from going north or east, i guess. and this one those southwest. this was analyzed in the environmental review and found not to have significant impact. the other plan is a little less radical. it is more or less the same, but it takes the lanes in the northbound direction to one lane. supervisor wiener: it will require a sharper right turn. right now, it is a soft right turn? >> that is correct. it is a very wide pedestrian crossings if you can see right here. you are crossing the only one lane of traffic. maybe 30 feet of runway. this would make that down to one

lane. he would be crossing 10 feet or 15 feet. >> have there been pedestrian safety issues? >> i am not sure. supervisor mar: i wanted to complement you and others for the great work. even though work on the alleys and small streets are really exciting. some of the existing projects i hope can really be a fly hidden pockets of the neighborhood, too. it sounds like the effort to create a strong identity in the district, it is different and more industrial than some of the areas. some of the goals might be different. is that correct? >> another in here is what you would do with the industrial

permits use streets. and because you have trucks coming in and out of there, the goals are a bit different. you want to retrain -- retain access, the workers to eat lunch. supervisor mar: i like the opportunities for public life, expanding the pavement to parks and use of existing roadways for more public gatherings bases. any other comments? let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? we have mr. francisco decosta. >> from time to time i come to

the land use subcommittee meetings. so that i can give some input. my experience comes from working on the procedure of san francisco where there were a number of landscape architects working with me on project. what you see here is the management plan. these are conceptual plans. conceptual plans are just that. conceptual. one of the ways to address conceptual plans is to have the people from the communities these stakeholders. when the gentleman was explaining to you where there was going to be this road that has very heavy traffic, it is for the public.

one of the things you have to think very deeply is about the particulars. if millions of cars are passing on the road, even though it is green over there, whether they will be breathing. you mentioned a few things like hot we need a green spaces. we need our young planners to be innovative. we need to create hope and green spaces. but the most important foehn is maintaining in. not just palm trees and a few flowers. nobody is maintaining that. if you go to bay shore, you have these benches and the garbage is

all over the place. they park in garbage all over the place. and some unruly elements always occupied the venture is so that nobody can come there. you can do your exercise, you can relax. but because of the unruly elements, you cannot use it. it is very simple. the conceptual plans are good. but most important is to have the stakeholders. what is really important is for the stake holders to come here and say, supervisors, you represent us, but we are participating in quality of life issues, and this is our input. we're very happy to work with the planners. that is what we need to see.

supervisor mar: is there anyone else that would like to speak? public comment is closed. i did want asked them to talk about the three-year process of stakeholder involvement and community-based groups. and the other question, a capital committee being formed. how is maintenance going to be funded over time? in >> to start with the first question, the community process, we held a number of projects. we tried to get the word out. we get mail in to try to get people to the workshops. we also individually work with

organizations in the mission district area. we tried to work very closely with emergent organizations because they don't come to her a lot of public meetings. we focused on issues specifically relevant to them. in a sort roundtable of discussions with various merchant organizations. your second question was about the capital planning group. that is something the city is just starting. the basic idea there is that what we want to be able to do is identify with available funding where we can coordinate streets cave project so that when we build them, we'd do if in no way that is efficient in terms of the cost, in terms of the construction schedule, and more

complete in terms of the resulting history. that there is more of a complete scope of work. one example of where we have done this in the past is where you have had a number of different agencies working on projects. the point of this group is to look well in advance, projects that are in the planning stages, not necessarily funded. and how do we bring these together to go after finding? we are specifically looking at me tense with that group. how do we maintain these streetscapes over time? that is the role of committees to worship programs.

that is wide -- committee last georgia -- stewardship programs. >> we are very strategic about how we do make improvements. where it makes sense to build a plaza, we look for adjacencies. the way that people are adjacent to the space and can help us maintain it. it all came with agreements on how to maintain them. that dialogue is always there. if the project moves forward, it

has been very clear with the dialogue that we also have to talk about maintenance and how we can get them to be cared for. the question about the streets. we have done as much as we can to try to keep people out of the streets. i was going to joked earlier that he last bench was taken up on market street a year ago. it is not working. we still have all of these social issues that we had. we have to be strategic about it. and even then, the folks that

you might not want to be there are sort of ingratiating the street and making it better. that is kind of the dance we are trying to do. it is a very careful dialogue about how we do that and whether it is successful. the prevailing thought about how to make our streets more comforting. supervisor cohen: i think you guys have built a wonderful plan based on a set of assumptions that are not necessarily in sync with the people that live particularly in the eastern neighborhood. representing that, i think about me and my friends, my neighbors, the residents. maintaining the plaza becomes

less of a priority when people are trying to maintain a life, they are trying to keep their kids in school and keep a roof over their head. is there some way you can take this consideration in the mission district in particular? people are just cannot and giving their station, they are not going to be as concerned about the maintenance of the plaza. you make it nice and you put a fresh coat of paint and at a palm trees, people will want to take care of it. i agree that there are some people that will.

it is a small group, though. when we look into the capital plan, there are palm trees that are dying in the southeast part of the city. so i would ask that you may be reevaluate this assumption. >> the story about whether they will or not is something that someone has to test overtime.

the infrastructure is not there to support it. supervisor mar: any other questions, colleagues? can i get a motion? it is not a committee report, so a recommendation to move this forward? without objection? would you call item no. 2? >> the reports and recommendations. >> this is an important hearing on the plan for seismic safety. we have the city administrator and lorenz -- laurence cornfield.

the purpose is to provide -- i believe the fourth major report studying the risks facing the city and it recommends a number of actions that the san francisco city government and leaders should take to reduce the consequences of a future earthquake. i want to thank the volunteer is advisory committee that has been added for many years to build a culture unpreparedness within the city that relies on residents and the block by block efforts to keep us safe. >> amy brown, active city and administrator. i want to echo your thanks for those the could not be here with us today, and the dozens of san

francisco residents and experts that gave up very generously of their time to look at these seismic rifts and catalogued them, it is a rather sobering picture that emerges. and also identified actions. the report culminated in december of last year. in january of this year, taking those 17 recommendations in looking at how best to go about implementing that. they engage the specific departments that the executive

director charges me to involve the department of emergency management, the fire department, the controller's office, and looking at how best to package those 17 priorities and in the implementation time line that we can move forward with in a way that makes the most sense. we have also started to reach out to the public even more so which involved a lot of people already. but to reach out to different groups to try to do the education that is recommended, also hopefully garner in support as we move forward. i very much look forward working with the mayor's office and working with the board of supervisors as we move forward on those very important recommendations. i am also very pleased to say that in another six weeks, we

will have the benefit of the deputy director that has worked very hard on this process and really knows this stuff inside and out. with that, mr. corn field is here. it really outhirdauthor -- authored a lot of the reports. >> we are all heading in the same direction. i am a real estate adviser year

in san francisco. i was the co-share of the citizen's advisory committee, who also very active with the resiliency efforts. how do you want to introduce yourself as well? >> i am a consultant and one of the project managers. i also live in san francisco. i expect to be here when the next earthquake strikes with my family, so this is personal as well as professional. >> we wanted to tell you a little bit about caps and what

the process was to get where we are. and certainly to let you know that we are eager to help educate the rest of the board and if any of you have more questions, we would certainly be happy to sit down with you. about 10 years ago, the city was very fortunate that there was not only a need to identify ways of making our cities safer, but there was money available for this. this was a little known source of funds. it was refunded from the state every time. the money gets transferred to the state and a small part of it comes back. because of the huge building boom, there was a significant amount of money. he started the process that was

interrupted about seven or eight years ago. it got back on track under mayor newsom. last december, they deliver the complete package of the capture reports. -- caps reports. the consultant to work in coordination with a volunteer advisory committee of about 80 people. about half of them showed up at the meetings from all walks of life and interested in san francisco. at the end of the day, there was unanimous support for the recommendations. there is a lot of people thought going in there. let me turn it over to laura and have heard tell you a little bit about that.

>> the project did a couple of major things. one was to look at the city and analyze what kind of damage we are likely to expect. the second part of the project was to develop policy recommendations about how to reduce that damage and those consequences. very briefly, we produced four major reports into technical appendices. there is a lot of material and i can summarize it all. but i will give you a snapshot about both of those parts. we analyzed for possible earthquakes that could strike the city. it is a lot of reading. i will give you a quick snapshot of the magnitude 7.2 earthquake half of the western shore. we found
