overhead system. you only place a subsidized -- substation every 20 to 30 years. new systems can accommodate not just the current plan, but also the service that we anticipate 32035. the implementation schedule is shown at a high level on this graph. environmental reviews are first critical and we anticipate it will take up to 24 months. during that time, we will be working to move travel time production proposals forward. as well as other complementary capital work. the goal is similar to the other capital plan with projects ready to be implemented at the conclusion of the process. as indicated, we have identified 10% funding for this project. overall capital costs are $170

million has identified to federal sources. the implementation strategy will allow us to shape a funding plan are around the remaining funding gaps. we believe that projects like the travel time proposals, designed to improve operating efficiencies, are going to compete well for discretionary funds. we will be realigning the existing capital programs. an example would beyond terrible street, the city is going to completely rebuild terrible street in 2018. that will include sue wert working, rails, and travel productions built into the work. there is also all of the prioritization complementing the city's street resurfacing plan, looking for opportunities to

leverage other projects when possible. the environmental review process is on a current critical path. we expected to take up to 24 months. there are some steps, as you are aware, that have mandatory time periods. we believe there are opportunities to reduce time for staff led tasks. working particularly with nea on dedicated staffing to move this work forward more quickly. the immediate next step will be competing the scope of work -- completing the scope of work and doing the structural engineering needed to inform the process. the board will approve a recommendation in the legislative change following sequence certification. to date they have only endorsed

proposals because the critical piece is not needed. in order to deliver the plan that we have together, we have a comprehensive task force. this is very much based on our experience in december 2009 and may of 2010. it takes every division within the agency to make that restructuring successful. moving forward, we want to tackle remaining policy issues. not shown are the muni accessible services. they are a key part of the process that were left off the slide, which i apologize for. we work on providing direct support needed for this project, including identifying capital project managers and program managers for this work. so, the next key steps are the

beginning of the environmental review, conducting community outreach, talking to people about the implementation strategy, and beginning summer employed on travel time reduction proposals and changes. assigning staff and regularly meeting up with the task force. doing environmental engineering and providing quarterly updates on this work. that concludes my presentation and i am happy to answer any questions. supervisor avalos: thank you. i would love to, prior to any presentation in district 11, to get briefed and go out at the same time. but that could be helpful. >> it would be wonderful. supervisor avalos: we can drill down into district 11 what will happen and what is taking part with my staff. thank you. we can open this up for public

comment. thank you for your presentation. for your work on this. making changes. >> supervisors, on 9l ltd., i would like some of the stops on market to be eliminated. maybe there could be one additional stops at 22nd street, another at 24th street. oftentimes if someone is very sick and 24th street, they have to come back to the general hospital and it does not insure any compassion on the part of the city. as you know, supervisors, this is like a conceptual plan. conceptual plans are like a dream.

even wake up and they can be your worst nightmare. in order to lessen the nightmare, we need to see a plan. a short-term plan and long term plan with money. right now what is hindering us, to be very realistic, as the economy. five or six fte's have been created. give them $80,000. that way you can see that everyone means well. you have created program managers, seven or eight fte's, which is like $1.5 million. supervisors, we need to pay attention to those kinds of details. you know what is happening on the national level.

we are lucky because we have a mixed economy. soon, people will be coming here and asking you to have mandatory cuts on big scales. so that we can have some effective government. thank you very much. [tone] supervisor avalos: next speaker, please. >> thank you, supervisors. tep is one of the best things that's has been produced. this evening all of the parking meters will be filled with folks going to the ball game. they will pay nothing at the park after 6:00 p.m. we should capture that revenue. there is a funding gap here and i want to encourage may be the mayor to have further political ambitions, as i understand that.

let's implement congestion pricing. the projection is that $60 million to $80 million could be produced from congestion pricing. things like small businesses are fighting with an evening outbound. might keep folks later in the hours. they might spend more having dinner and so on. with the america's cup coming, these time lends scare me. 200,000 folks will be making their way along the waterfront soon. i have spoken with developers that are dusting off the plans for new developments. another 2500 housing units. the transit center district plan plans to ups on 1,000 feet of office buildings. 2020 is a long ways away. i wanted to say that this is a

very wonderful project and i look forward to seeing it implemented. thank you. >> good afternoon. but i am a spokesperson for the [unintelligible] alliance and a muni writer for several decades. when i was in the media program to give a report of the human rights commission, i did not expect so many calls about muni, services, and the clipper program. another senior kept asking the chinese driver to ask to remind him where to get off. i feel that the clipper program was extremely badly planned. even one of the members of the ambassador program that i talked

about earlier told me that there had been a lot of concerns about clipper. would you believe those applications are still in english only? let me put it down here, this is all in english. how can we provide passenger content for the people? considering the number of non- limited english writers, how can a city still pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to staff that do not take in the input of passengers and provide appropriate services? people that earn over $100,000, up their services they are

providing viable services to residents. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you. >> good afternoon. i have heard the presentation and tdp before and i get more disturbed when i hear the second time. about it being will be in english, not chinese and spanish as planned. more than that -- not more than that, but in addition the most marketable item that muni has is its express bus. you cannot drive faster than an express bus, but they are so stingy with them. limited is included in this, and i guess that is the kind of compromise we have to deal with. if we had ltd's and the stops

that we have now, there would be no need for considering eliminating a number of stops. many elderly disabled mothers with young children are not able to walk an extra block or two to get to a bus. i think that we should look towards making both parties at the. i live on 44th avenue and it takes me an hour to get anywhere on the bus. if there was a limited near there, it would be much easier. if muni could somehow understand community and put a little better, they might listen to some of the things they have said. i have said these things before. i suggest they go to the neighborhood and best for their stops for the limited. i do not believe that it should

cost more money. you could alternate. you could have some muni stops and some limited stops. everyone should be having some of their needs met. supervisor avalos: thank you. anything from the public? anyone that would like to comment? seeing no one, we will close public comment. thank you for your presentation and your work. i do want to reach out. we could have further briefings about proposals in my office could be helpful in the of reach. i think that that was a step that was not as quite as robust, i thought, as it could have been, especially, but mostly regarding the chinese speaking community, who were a bit

alarmed by the proposed changes that were years in the making. i could be helpful in that. also to help translate the concerns of the public back to the mta. i will be glad to help. ok. this is our last item. continued to the call of the chair. after this, we will be adjourned. thank you.
