the clerk's office a month ago. it is a very exceptional project in terms of the collaboration with the city department. we have the transportation authority in the department of the environment that has been instrumental in assisting us and participating in the various strategies and i will walk through very quickly. this is the information outlined to reduce emissions of them as an operator and an ambitious goal for the city to reduce its green has gas emissions. from the operator side, we have a plan that we submitted to the department of the environment and we are well on our way to meeting those goals. i am proud to say that we are

21% from basically purchasing a more efficient transit vehicle. on the transportation sector itself, it has been a bit more complex and has required a fairly robust analysis of what makes transportation amid its emissions and how much is coming from which node. when we get our analysis initially, we found that automobile travel was about 90% of the emissions from the transportation sector. which is significant. the amount revised because of the methodology, the goals are still there and the amounts are still significant. the challenges are just as

great. as a look at the missions for each type of vehicle, there was a pound of co2 per mile. bicycling is the most efficient form of transport and because the human power of propulsion and the distance you can travel. the agency itself has gone through a pretty transformative shift in terms of how we look at transportation policy in moving towards the pyramid of focusing on walking and bicycling. and the transit rights share, we are really using the automobile for a special trips. here are the strategies we have outlined, and these we felt

really fell into three areas. what needs to be done to reduce the emissions through programs like more information to the customers, the man the management of travel through a pricing and oriented development, making them more pedestrian oriented. within that, there was a need for more supplies. those are really what is needed to underpin the strategies. in the actual report itself, we have strategies that run through. we looked at the potential cost effectiveness of this project and their overall potential effectiveness. each one goes through the various elements. for the interest of time, i will

run through them. this strategy was on pricing and the transportation authorities leading the study on congestion pricing. we have the demand project for parking. the city has been a leader on various development projects and they are really helping us create the demand for more sustainable mode. the whole premise of this climate action strategy is to underscore the needs of transition. what ever we do creates demand for transit and we are one of the few cities in the country that has a system at full capacity. what ever we do, we need to make sure that we have the adequate supply of the transit system. next is the negro the complete streets program.

that includes making our areas more safer walking. and your leadership on setting those goals, we really need to do these types of projects to see those goals have been. this is an area that we thought would have limited input from the city itself, but the influence on taxis and the provision of a lecture charging facilities. the average 10 times more than the resident vehicles in the city. we looked at all these different measures and we put them together with what they actually achieved by 2025. the reason we chose 2035, it is an area that makes more sense all about long-range planning to make sense with the regional plans. we looked at the benchmark of

50% below 1990 levels by 2035 would be 80% below 2015 levels that were also in. even with these ambitious policies and programs, we are only half of the way there. in conclusion, the board's role in reducing the transportation sector is really these key areas. to continue upholding the transit first policy ha, to really optimize the transit system to really help us create the policies for information and data, to support the efforts of demand pricing that provide not only the behavioral change but the needed revenue to support these active transportation into transit projects. we need to look at reforming our

parking policies. and continuing to lead by example of all of the different innovations that we have. we looked at the things that would take a long time to employment or cost a lot of money. for the advocacy of the board, we put together some things that we thought were a short-term improvements, mainly policy changes that would be coming to the board over the next year with our other partners to have these policies enacted in to get these improvements in the ground sooner. and continuing to put the findings, this climate action strategy will help inform the capital improvement plan. a the climate action plan that

is a community-wide program. and other areas of planning that is the community's strategy that supervisor campos, i know you will be representing the city. these are findings that will help us get to a lot of these decisions. we will incorporate new data and the methodology. what we will be requesting the board to do is to really help us prioritize these short term actions and come back with a more robust set of programs that will hull these various strategies. we will be coming back every two years. that concludes my presentation and i am happy to answer any question that you might have. supervisor campos: colleagues, any questions? why don't we open it up for public comment?

is there any member of the public that like to speak? public comment is closed. i'm sorry. please. >> good afternoon, i am the climate action coordinator with the department of the environment. i want to give you a brief bit of context. supervisor campos: this is not part of public comment. go ahead. i was confused about what was doing what. >> the plan, the climate strategy, the city has a large climate action strategy that we committed ourselves to greenhouse production goals. this piece presented to you today is the transportation section of the overall community wide action plan. lilith at energy use, water

use, transportation, and this is the transportation piece of that. i wanted to give you the contact and say it was a pleasure to work with the npa. -- mta. >> i am a transportation planner at the transportation authority and of wanting to come today to take -- thank mta for allowing us to collaborate with them. we are a leader implementing chlamys strategies. i wanted to take just a minute to put this effort in the context of an important planning effort that my agency is leading. the san francisco transportation plan as a 25-year policy and investment strategy. it is a strategic document that

we used to advocate for sentences cut transportation priorities. one of the coal areas is to contribute to a healthy environments. and we look forward to using the action strategy as a starting point for analyzing the benefits and trade-offs. the analysis is a great starting point, but there is still more work to do where more strategies might center drives. or where strategies and benefits might overlap. we will take on this worked as a part of the transportation plan and consider the strategies in terms of the other transportation goals and needs. we look forward to working with you. thank you. supervisor campos: the key to

themta, ta -- thank you to the mta, the ta, and the departments. why don't we open it up to public comment? public comment is closed. supervisor campohiu, i dunno ifu wanted to add anything. supervisor chiu: i have been doing double duty, but we all agree that we have to -- i think the 2035 time frame is too long. i know we're working as fast as we can to hit the 1990 levels. >> we understood that and we have put in the document of the next three years, the short-term policy changes.

supervisor campos: colleagues, any other comments or thoughts? in terms of this item, it is just a hearing. can refile this item? without objection. madame clerk, is there any other business before the committee? >> there is not. >> meeting adjourned. >> this lodge is home to some of the best fly casting pools in the world. these shallow concrete pools

don't have fish. this is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. ith was built in the 1930's and ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. every year, the world championship of fly casting is held in san francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. >> we are here with phil, general manage of san francisco rec and parks department at the anglers lodge. what do you think about this? >> it is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast. >> there are people from all over the world come to san francisco and say this is the place to be. >> yeah. it's amazing, we have teams from all over the world here today

and they are thrilled. >> i flew from ireland to be here. and been practicing since for the competition. all the best casters in the world come here. my fellow countryman came in first place and james is on the current team and he is the head man. >> it's unique. will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. there is no complex in the world that can touch it. >> i'm here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. i'm going to suit up and next, we're in the water. >> what any gentleman should do.

golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. we have equipment show up on the 9:30 on the second saturday of every month and we'll teach them to fly cast. >> ok. we are in the water. >> let me acquaint you with the fly rod. >> nice to meet you. >> this is the lower grip and the upper grip. this is a reel and a fly line. we are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. exactly as you moved your hands. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i'm a natural. >> push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. push forward. >> i did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice. i met someone else with real fly

casting skills. her name is donna and she is an international fly casting champion. >> i have competed in the casting ponds in golden gate park in san francisco. i have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. i spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. it's a great place to learn and have fun. on a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. i find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. takes me out into the nature. almost like drawing art in the air. and then i can make these beautiful loops out there. >> even though people from across the globe come here to compete, it's still a place where locals in the know relax

and enjoy some rely unique scenery. until next time, get out and play!

>> the regular meeting of the transbay joint panel is called to order. madam secretary, please call the role. secretary: i'd like to know that we're running -- conflict -- the mayor can we do the next one?

>> we continue to make good progress all around in the program. our construction documents are 100% -- 100% of them are still on schedule to be delivered by the end of the year. since the bulk behalf we're doing now is involved construction, you hear more about our construction progress in a moment, but in the meantime, i did want to report that at our last board meeting, a member of the public asked about whether or not the transport authority could work with the various city agencies regarding pedestrian safety at the crosswalks in district six. and we know that the san francisco municipal transportation agency is working with supervisor kim in assessing the pedestrian safety priorities for the entire district, and we're also working with them as well on

that. in addition, i did want to mention that, with respect to our construction and we'll have more of an update on that in a moment, but one of the things we've been removing are piles from the old transbay terminal foundation, and they've been removed what what will eventually be the buttress zone. they're made of a structure that's not commonly found anymore in the lumber market today. in keeping with our sustainability mission, one of the things that we were able to do is find entities that were willing to take the lumber and haul it off and recycle the wood, and one of the persons is taking the lumber away, is actually going to use it for a sailboat, so that's pretty interesting. you're also going to receive a presentation on the bus design with respect to our temporary terminal, everything is in good order, the temporary facility, and on the rail component, we continue meeting with cal train and high-speed rail on the design elements. and we're making good progress there.

nance you has an update on funding. >> very briefly on our funding update, as we reported before, we have more than $800 million in allocations toward our phase one project of $1.6 billion. today we're going to do an action on your calendar to re-send some funding. we'll talk about that later. and then the other thing that we've been doing is continuing to look for additional sources of funds, and today on your agenda, we're going to be asking for permission to apply for some park funds for the city park. so we're continuing to do that, and we will continue to look for funding to back fill or to augment our phase two work as we go ahead. that's all i have for today. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer. >> i'd like to get our construction update. >> good morning, directors. steve rule with turner

construction, construction management oversight. there we go. we had another great month of progress. we continue the demolition work, 46,000 hours now without any accidents or injuries to the workers. we completed the turnover of zone three, which used to be the old central portion of the old terminal to the subcontractor for staging of their shoring material that they've started construction on. and we completed the main demo on the bus ramps by completing the harrison overpass in the first week of may, so that is the end of our long closures and street closures there for the demolition. now it's just a lot of clean-up and processing of that material. with utility relocation package, good progress continues to be made with those. the natomis street sewer installation between free mount and first is completed, and the tie-in to the main sewer is in

progress. water line snalmings is completed. -- installation is completed. and we anticipate that work, the natomis street utility relocation work being completed by the end of july. one of the other packages, 4.3 also good progress. we're working with sfwd on all the tie-ins and coronations of the water system there, anticipate completion at the end of august. 4.4 is water and sewer lines are in progress on natomis street between first and second. those water tie-ins will be done this week or next depending on scheduling with sfwd, and anticipated completion also in the end of august. 4.4 is natomis between first and second streets. i'm sorry, 4.5.1 is the ministry joint trench, sewer and water. and as of this last week, at&t started putting in their work into the joint trench, so we're almost off that area, and the

final completion, with all the tie-ins, will be done in august as well. or end of july. and then the potholing work, 4.6, which is the work for sewer and sledge on beale street, is just getting started. that was approved, i believe at the last board meeting. and they have an anticipated completion of august. the temporary wall at 301 mission continues. they've put up the steel support. they've now completed the framing and will start putting the north face of the wall, the side that faces millennium, they'll start putting the plaster and metal panels and stone on. hopefully we'll be able to take down the temporary barricade and finish up that north face by the end of june. and finish up the whole project there by the middle of july. the transit center that buttresses the main thing going on there, and in zone four is the main work. they've been pulling piles, the wood piles that executive director just spoke about. we're about 70% to 80% through

with that and should be completed by the end of next week. as i also said, they're staging their fabrication of their structural steel for their shoring system, shoring wall systems in the central area, and started refabbing all that. and they're starting the pretrenching this month for the shoring wall, so they'll be going around the entire perimeter of the project, removing any obstructions prior to the installation of the shoring wall, which is scheduled to begin at the end of may. again, the demolition timeline, we are scheduled to complete the original demolition by the first week in june. on your agenda today is the approval of a change order for evans brothers to do some additional building demolition, and that will add some time to the final completion of their contract, but the original contract completion or substantial completion is still scheduled for the end of june for the original demolition. we completed all that ramp work ahead of schedule, so we're

excited about that, and as i said before, that stops us from having to close streets, which was the big risk there. here's last month's and this month's view of zone four, where they're working on the wood pile extraction. and the middle and west sections are zones three, two, and one, as you head west and see the change over that, and there's balance four starting to stage their equipment in the right hand photo to start building their steel support structures for their shoring wall. picture on the left shows where we were with the ramp demolition at the end of march and now through the first week in may. we're all the way up, and by may 3, they took down the harrison street overpass, and so all that rubble starting to get cleaned up and recycled. by the way, we've repsyched about 38,000 cubic yards of concrete, which, to put it in simpler terms, is about 10 to 11 olympic-sized swimming pools full of concrete. just a little fact. the removal of the bus ramp

over folsom, there's a shot of that, and then the harrison street removal as well, they both went according to plan, and again, no injuries or incidents with the public. i mentioned utility relocation packages all winding up in july and august of this summer. with the exception of 4.2, which the pricing on that comes in tomorrow, i believe. and this is a continued sewer work on the joint trench work on minner, which is now where at&t is starting to put their portion of the joint trench work in. and the completion of it on second street. water and sewer work continues, howard first, free mount, natomis streets. and while i said the structural steel framing went up this last month, and when these pictures were taken, they were preparing for the metal framing that fills in between the white structural steel and will support the new exterior wall. it's a very heavy structure,

but, you know, part of it is to prevent any vehicles from accidentally going into the hole that will be on the other side of it. and this is a shot of the controlled wood pile extraction in zone four, as i said, we'll be completing that at the end of next week. and the archaeologists that started below the 201 mission street building where the headquarters project office is got finished up this month, and there's one archaeology pit left to do at the west end of the project. and finally, just to give you an idea behalf you'll see next, if you come down and visit at the end of may, before the next board meeting will be the start of cdsm, or concrete deep soil mixed shoring wall system, and that will start in the far east end of the project, and that's a view of what the equipment will look like there. on the local labor side, demolition contractor has completed 46,000 hours, 41,000 of those being completed by local labor.
