five different colors of the building. it is an open entrance to the main building. this is the other view of the building, you begin to see the material for later. this is the fountain in front that becomes the beginning of this water story that we want to make in all these clashes. we discussed with the agency, making a teller in the central plaza, that you find in europe. it is at the very top and also the three faces of the buildings, the employees that

are in the upper levels. this is the view of the company. it becomes a symbol of your in the central plaza. we're trying the activity that has seen some of the changes since last time. some of the bicycle parking for restaurants in the food services, it doesn't become a services street. we are able to put the services and underneath. you only have a ramp going to that. unbuilding 30 which is the purple building, behind two

buildings, we have the right side of this picture, we are becoming active with the courts and the facilities that you will have their. and also used during the weekend so it can be used. next, a ground floor of the building is where we're planning to have a very important restaurant from san francisco that can be opened after office hours. you can see that restaurant,

they can have a lot of activity. the parking we want to use, but we want him naked a vertical fang we're in order to achieve their cars and at the same time allow for ventilation for the parking. it is a view of the parking from south street. and building 31, this is the largest building in these blocks. we're breaking this building in three different volumes so it doesn't become massive. it is not very aggressive to the

streets. we're keeping the pylons that we showed you last time that marked the entrance. this building is a little recent. also by the top floors, we're also trying to make this more human. you have a terrorist, and two stories. you're having more of a four- story building. the corner in front of the hospital, we wanted to do something special there. having a entrenched, the two corridors, we think that the

connection between the hospital in this corner was important, so that is why we studied the something different in this insurance. and the agenda is also to bring the building as you can see here, but with the same language. it has a connection with parking. then the yellow building in lot 32, this building facing the bay, we are making a terrorist. that is one of the main characteristics of san francisco with the agency, and not having the tall buildings in front, but this still going up.

in those terraces where you have other areas, you can see boxes and pavilions so that they are really active home. there were also been discussions about the bridge. we wanted to make a bridge that was very playful and at the same time, very transparent. we are making in these frames that in one size, you see one color and in the other, you have a very transparent element. you actually see the solid part only from the side. this is the view that you will see, a very light breached.

talking about the materials, we want it to be the main portion of the building. we think that it is very traditional sense friends as go, we wanted to use it in a more contemporary way. they have some relation and at the same time have a contemporary luck. as you can see in the buildings, we think it was too large to do it in the same color. then in the rooftops, which we are using stone. and the color accents are going to happen with plaster. it is more like an accent to

identify each of the buildings. this is a combination with a stone you see, it is a combination the you're going to see of the building. and the accent colors, some elements where you're going to see the two main colors. again, her art is something that we want to incorporate. a very natural and very public. we want to make art different to make it very contemporary.

the work with water, another one that works with blood patterns. we're starting that process. they will incorporate more local artists. i think we have spoken with some of them and we are very enthusiastic that it comes like an art museum. and the view to the day as i was describing, to have the pylons that become as lanterns, traditional lanterns that you see, it is in remembrancer of that to have the pylons.

and you have any questions? >> anything to follow up from staff or commissioners? public comment? any public comment on this item? commissioner antonini: i think this is a very impressive presentation, and i am particularly impressed with the open nature of the campus which is a true campus. that word is used for some facilities that are closed and not campuses in the traditional nature of our learning institutions such as uc- berkeley in san francisco state for the public can enter through these, and this is extremely good, i think.

i did have a question, i guess, the way that the facility will mean that they, is there going to be treatment on the part of the campus that goes down to words of the boulevard? it may not be part of this particular design, but one of the things that it is lacking at right now is the softening of those areas, and i don't know if that is planned for the future. also, i really like the idea of the tower that gives -- it looks like you have to power light elements there. i really like the wall, the way that the stone is used, it is

really clean and understated. it reminds me of a different context, but i remember the building when it was done in 1941, a very clean looking surface that is understated and monochromatic. the colors are very vivid, and there is always a tone that is perfect and that takes a long time to work with, but if done properly, it will accent it beautifully. of course, that is a work in progress. i am really impressed with the recesses and the relief that is included. it is a great step towards more traditional architecture in a modern context. structures were rather vertical and square, this brings back the relief that we see an architecture of the past that

makes it a dramatic end gives us a sense of elegance and softness. commissioner moore: thank you, staff, thank you, salesforce, it was a wonderful presentation. it is difficult to comment when someone speaks in shows pictures. in the architecture speaks for itself. talk about the largest setting, that being mission bay. it has been part of my career since the early '70s. as we moved forward with the idea to bring biotech in the mission bay, i would have a

predominant expression, not individually or bad, but creating a pattern that reminds me very much of a suburban banking, and i was disappointed. all of a sudden, we have the possibility to create more. all the other buildings don't matter as much anymore as creating a place where you want to go to and where you want to be. this project achieves all of those objectives, particularly starting the party focused on the central square. i know in the past, you have ideas of where the building would come from. i said, why aren't you starting around and creating the place a square so that there is also the

meeting to go towards the water? it has been achieved and to the credit of everybody having taken on the discussion further. the one thing i would like to ask, can we have the jumbo drawn for the america's cup at 2012 and 2013? if we're decentralizing, bringing different neighbors of the city, this is one of those that has been mentioned. i would love to see maturing the you have been able to detect the jumbo tron being there. i leave that for you to bring about, and that will the magic. commissioner sugaya: i would just like to say that having salesforce.com here is immensely

better than having apple or pixar. [laughter] if you've seen the fence, you know, the renderings we've seen of the proposed apple headquarters are frightening to me. just because it is directly opposite of what we have here, a very friendly and very excellent response to the urban environment, i know suburban development is a little different, but not to the extent that something becomes so insular that i don't know what to make of it. and here it is just so refreshingly and so great that the architects have been able to integrate and open public spaces

to the residents of the city into the region. have to be able to penetrate and use restaurants and facilities there, i think is a really tremendous response to urban design. commissioner borden: i want to echo the comments and sentimentsit almost makes me work -- want to work at sales force. [laughter] it embraces the waterfront at the city itself, creating a time and space where people can collaborate. i see it realized in the space you have created where the people have a face -- a place that we can go to, and enjoy the overall environment and have a sense of time and place.

a lot of the campuses that exist, i think this campus goes a long way doing that. i would like to thank everybody involved in the project and deciding to make this investment. the gap is the last time we have seen the company make it campus investment, and we have some more available space, maybe others can hire you to work with them to do that kind of work. i love the open community spaces, the retail, not having a cafeteria is so smart. others do not have a cafeteria and to see the students patronizing the restaurants. it is a whole other level of vitality and interest in the

community around it. thank you for this presentation, i think the face looks amazing and i wish you could build that tomorrow. probably not in time for america's cup, unfortunately. >> you might be working for sales force as soon as they buy ibm. [laughter] commissioner moore: i would like to monology the sensitivity of landscape design, and often those things are not thought about synergetically. make a good open space and figure out where we can put some sculptures. this approach was all thought through in one big scoop. i am delighted to see a hint of international art like the

biggest culture from chicago at millennium park. if any piece or collection create an art environment that has the qualities, the transformer to qualities, it will be more than a project. it will be a fully functioning part of town. >> i wanted to close by saying that this was an informational hearing. he will be coming back to you next month for approval of the office allocation of half a million square feet and the actual design of these buildings. >> thank you. >> item number 14.

>> i am from the planning department staff, i am here to present you an overview of the walk first project, and informational item. i have been working on for about a year, we are working very closely with other agencies, a collaborative effort amongst ourselves, the mta, the department of public health, and the transportation authority. we're here today to answer any questions you might have. the project emerged from a grant from the department of public health and we were successful in obtaining it from the california

office of traffic safety. it was a one-year project to work at a plan for improving pedestrian safety conditions and prioritizing where we make those improvements in this city. the timing of the grant was very fortuitous. you might be familiar with the directive on safety that happened on december of 2010, two months after starting on the grant. it called for a number of short term actions to improve pedestrian safety, calling for a task force which involves staff from all of the departments as just mentioned as well as community organizations. and implementing the near-term actions, a number of things were equivalent to what we were planning to do and what we were

required to do. we coordinated with and that body, we were able to work together to move forward the pedestrian safety cause and to move toward the target that the directive had to reduce severe and fatal injuries by 25% in five years and 50% in 10 years. there were a number of the liberals, including working at the priority streets for walking in the city and creating a capital project of pedestrian improvements, doing a number of case studies on how these improvements will be applied. and creating policies that would ultimately go to the general plan.

we have been going to the board of supervisors advisory committee, having limited out reach, focus groups with various groups that we had, an online walking survey. the grant was fairly limited. we weren't able to do the full out --, there were a number of technical refinements. we have come out with a final report last october, and we are seeking funding to continue the project, so ultimately, we would come back to you with amendments and the like. everything we present to you is draft, and we need to do considerably more out reach. i will turn this over to billy that will walk you through the contents of the project.

>> as he mentioned, the goal was to identify where and how to prioritize pedestrian improvements. this table summarizes the overall approach, so we looked at four categories. the factors that contribute to where people walk, and it led to massive walking streets. the most severe and fatal injuries occur, this led to safety streets. we looked at forming the preliminary capital project list. for pedestrian activity, we wanted to understand where people are walking or where people would walk. the goal is to create a map of walking streets. we started off by identifying the factors that would contribute to a pedestrian activity.

there is excess, density of people, a pedestrian generators, and come, st. slopes. we've asked all of those factors to create a score so that we can apply the score, and this information how does a measure of each segment appears to each category. here is one example of what we did. we divided the data into 10 groups. we applied that score to the street segments. on both cases, you can see there are lower income areas like chinatown and bayview, these streets were given a higher wages. next, we added those scores together and that is a composite map. the areas in red are high concentrations of pedestrian activity. the final street will be to

combine the data based on feedback to develop a walking streets. this map shows the streets that have high pedestrian activity factors. they illustrate where people are walking or what what conditions were better. the key walking streets are shown in blue. these are things like schools, parks, tourist activity. there are streets for there is more dependent on walking. due to street's lower, access to transit, or private automobile. these are key walking areas where there are concentrations of pedestrian activity. for areas where there is planned development, and the streets don't show up on this map yet.

so the next thing we looked at his pedestrian safety, wanting to understand the conditions that pedestrians face on the ground and identify the locations for safety improvements. the goal was to create a map of case -- key safety streets. we looked at intersection levels and have developed a detailed methodologies for that report. i will provide a high level overview. the first step was to map the pedestrian injuries, using data from the state over five years, and injuries were aggregated and math to the nearest intersection. it included all injuries resulting between a car and a person. we had to apply that score to the street segments so we could look at pedestrian activity

together. it was based on the number of injuries and fatalities, focusing on the most severe injury burdens. this map shows what we're calling the high-density corridors and the key safety streets. there is an account of neither greater that represent more than 6% of the city street miles and include a 50% of the severe and fatal injuries. similar to a pedestrian activity, there is one key safety area. this represents the highest constitution of serious or fatal injuries. the next piece was to develop a capital project list. we had to identify with streets we would focus on. the pedestrian activity factors were developed
