understand the mass transit authority is looking for three new painters, and the authority is also asked for an additional truck to help the striking. >> after that -- we go to district 11. >> there is a long list of activities and their partnering with other agencies to go to the balboa park station area. this is really to the east side connections project, and it is very anticipated in terms of connecting this to the other side, following the west side entrance project. this has been moving along and there are some delays. hopefully this will be back on track. the safety improvements that were identified in the station capacity -- they did come in for some funding.

geneva plaza, with some inside information -- the lighting in the design work are also included in the original allocation in terms of doing the design work. this is a funded study that will look at freeway access to the area. and what ways are available to reduce the amount of freeway access ramps in the area to reduce the impact. this grant and the study does include support for the balboa area, and the advisory committee. we will be supporting that along with the staff. with brisbane in daly city -- chester fung has been leading this effort to allocate the fair

share of financial contributions to a large infrastructure program. we will be bringing that report to you shortly. we anticipate initiating the feasibility study, which will look at the rail conversion options to support the future will use of that infrastructure. the freeway circulation study may not be obvious that there is a connection here as well. we will reduce the contents and reduce speed -- with increasing the bicycle and pedestrian access. restoring this to the pre- central freeway, the earthquake conditions. we will be applying for planning grant, to advance these concepts. and there is the 19th avenue transit corridor.

the operations there hopefully will improve, and allow for the more efficient allocation of the balboa area. this is part of the daily -- the line to daly city and may alleviate the demand. with the relationship between stations. and the study that is listed here also has the fair city component, looking at the potential -- the benefit of the daly city. and the -- and in addition to the line could bring him -- bring them in at balboa. the bayshore intermodal study, is on the march agenda for approval. this has established the concept for the different services, and how this can happen at the caltrans station. the btr is part of that plan.

with that, let me take -- turn it back over to -- >> he was worth the promotion there. slide no. 10, james dunn and middle school, this is a fairly funded project -- and we do not quite have schedule information. but the obligation of the design funds -- are expected by this june so they can be used. there is a number of implementation is going on, -- this is for winter of 2013. they are cited for specific improvements. on the back is a map of the

traffic plan area, with some of the planned improvements and a table behind that showing what is implemented already today. we see how this works and how traffic has slowed down. district 11 -- this has many projects going on. this is below the park station area. this is just to give you an idea of the full spectrum of work that is going on. we have the signal modifications that are beyond delivery -- and these are also in district 11. you can see the three district locations -- and a very interesting part of the project, this goes along with what they were talking about. there are a whole bunch of different brands that are very complicated.

it involves rerouting the overhead to free up land for affordable housing. the executive director's report, this is one of five projects were we have to have a vote by the california transportation commission. this is the first priority and i think that we will get there. and we want to work with the mass transit authority. the federal transit administration -- all of these requirements will go away. and the project will be delivered in a timely fashion. >> i appreciate the work that has been done on this, and hopefully we can get this to the conclusion. this is actually the seven projects, and the redistricting will be in district 7. >> what you have just mentioned, we will have to struggle with

later on, when the board will mess up all of the coding adjusted. a couple of districts, a couple of projects that are very old, from the 2008 lifeline funding cycle. the delays of the state economy and the state financial issues have the bond sales -- police was not going to be of long duration. but the access improvements -- this should get construction funds. these are both simple but important projects, dealing with access improvements. one thing -- when dealing with the uncertainty of the construction funds being available, the design has not been happening. the schedule has had some of

those phases haping -- happening after the construction funds are advanced, to see if the project is able to be accelerated. commissioner kim: i can wait. my comment was on james dunman. >> i am all set unless you have questions. >> it wasn't a question. i am not as familiar with the project as the supervisor. balboa is located on the same block area. i would like to have them both included. i am not sure if leadership high school is there. i know it is iportant to the -- important to the families and students as they go to the area located on that site. >commissioner avalos: i am not familiar with this project, so

can we have a brief description of what this is? there are a lot of needs around balboa high school. a lot of pedestrians crossing, and a couple of areas where there are pork chops, where cars speed fast and make it difficult for pedestrians. >> good afternoon, commissioners. currently, this is dealing with a couple of locations. we have the free right-turn -- to expand the corners. this slows down the traffic in general. i have to confirm this. this will improve the pedestrian crossing. we will provide more details.

>> this is critical and there are thousands of you to go through their everyday. i appreciate this process. >> i think that includes the presentation but i have one general question, with some of these projects, the deadlines were the targets, the date of completion changes. i wonder if you could say how you are making sure that there are communities that are impacted and kept informed of some of those changes. >> i will give you the answer from our perspective. as i mentioned, these are divided -- and we get the quarterly progress reports. we will be notified if there is a change in completion date or

schedule. when this is formal -- we will get a formal request to make a schedule change. on the other side, we do not get any information. this is a joint cooperation exercise. the sponsors are trying to get this information. >> commissioner of the los? >> just in these updates, they were very valuable to have here, that the full commission. i appreciate the briefing i had yesterday. i did request that we come back at the end of april, to go over thoroughly the project, and then i want to be periodically, this does not have to be all the people at my desk yesterday, but some of the key departments that

are there to make certain we're getting these deadlines. this has happened in all of our districts, we have not been great on deadlines. with my districts, i hear about this elsewhere. those delays are significant. i want to make sure that we are on track and i appreciate the effort. i know that there are many conflicting priorities that we have, but i want to make certain the priorities of my district -- can rise to the top. >> one other thing that is clear from the exercise, we had so many different data sources. there was a web-based applications of the sponsors and the authority had access to this information. once we get this we should be able to have a public version, with the schedule update for everyone. >> i appreciate all the work that went into this, and it was

not easy to compile this information. the sooner we can have the briefing of the internet -- the individual supervisors, the better. the idea is also that we would have the opportunity to come back when there is a need to follow up, and i think the deadlines are important and we have to make certain that the public knows what we're working on and when we will complete them. we thank you again for your presentation. mr. moscovic? >> i am respectful of the fact is quite late but i want to talk about the comments that you and commissioner of the los made. he says that he understands there are competing priorities but he wants his district work done on time. i think you should all aspire to that. there are competing priorities

but i want to say that when you approve the five-year prioritization program, there is a process that is made over what is likely and what is possible to deliver. we should try to keep those commitments. then reality hits and all the projects have different circumstances. what i would aspire to do is increase the participation on a daily basis. your own office to help us streamline this. i think this is where we want to be on this. if this means revisiting this schedule, maybe we should do this. if you see progress -- and the public can see this on the web

site as well, this may lower the level of frustration, and the level of satisfaction, with the sales tax, that was approved for that purpose. >> commissioner? >> it reminds me of that song, though subtle for mr. in between. >> on that note, we will openness to public comment. any member of the public can please come forward. >> commissioners, -- [inaudible] the response from the othe rside -- other side warns what has to be done. the bottom line is this. this is taxpayer's money. what we have in certain districts is nobody from the

district, nobody really knows what is happening. even then, they have a meeting, be it whatever. this is so convoluted. what needs to be done is transparency. to have accountability. most important, we don't need diatribes and beating around the bush. if you made a mistake, you made a mistake. i have watched this and get upset, listening to the bufoonery. i listen -- to the tapes and see. the previous meetings, they spend money, they don't do something. this is the year 2012 and they don't have the software so they can have benchmarks and evaluations.

if millions are spent, since you are there -- we need some accountability. and some people don't want to do their work. maybe they can go somewhere else. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. is there anyone else who wishes to speak? public comment is closed. i tank the staff for their presentation. and i look forward to the next meeting. can you call item 18. >> information items. >> any new items? is there any member of the public who will speak? item 19. >> item 19, public comment. >> any member of the public who wishes to speak on an item with the transportation committee.

>> there is too much happening now. and one of the issues that we have to deal with this transportation. i would suggest that another meeting, you are talking about a lot of development in an area. but very little money is set aside -- set aside for transportation. i don't know if you read the newspaper. we had a shooting in visitation valley, in the afternoon. the san francisco county transportation authority, and you commissioners keep reviewing certain things. i want to bring this to your attention.

safety -- he is talking over there, he does not know the difference between safety and something else. safety is lacking on muni, on all the lines. people are bringing guns. you have a right to see that -- people are safe. we have the ambassadors, the yellow hornets. most of the time you see them in cafeterias. not on the busses. we need sound safety -- on muni. at bus stops. i will be writing about this so you can read it. >> thank you. on the issue of public safety, we will continue to focus on

that. is there any other member of the public? public comment is closed. >> item 20, adjournment. >> meeting adjourned.
