to small starts, the federal program later that year. the pdm partnership project is a reference to a climate strategy grant received from mtc. we're working with the department of environment, planning to permit, and sfmta on ways to figure out how the city and the players can work together to reduce vehicular trips-making and to reduce the carbon emissions from trips. in this area, we're working with cpmc and kaiser permanente a and ucsf and the others to try to understand the best ways to collaborate on tdm measures, ways to encourage transit. bicycling, walking, and carpooling, as well as using shuttles. those projects are going well, and we will be reporting on this regularly as we kick off some pilot projects with our partners. with that, i will turn it back over to maria.

>> thank you. i want to acknowledge mike from the mta. our mta spokesperson today. i have a couple of slides on the pedestrian safety project going on. i want to acknowledge that we have done coating products by it district because it often spills and to cross-district boundaries. that is the case with these first two sites. these are actually part of the central richmond traffic calming plan. but these two are in district two. by winter 2013, mta will come to us with proposed improvements from the area's traffic calming plans city-wide, and there is a prioritized list for districts but a potential locations for this district. quickly, there is a federal

grant that mta head for the elementary school in district 1. however, it includes recommended countdown signals. and last, i will ask mike to say a few words about the first traffic calming plan in his district. supervisor farrell: in terms of the winter 2013 date -- as we sit here today in april of 2012, it looks like a long way out because it is, and people have obviously submitted applications a while ago. can you talk about why it is so long? >> good morning. i am mike with the sfmta level street section to decide is this of executions for traffic calming, we have about 25 to 30 locations. we have funding for some of those locations. we're going to start at the top of the list and work our way

downward. the first five to seven projects will be done with about $300,000. as we get lower in funding, we're not sure where the bottom of that list will reach. once we are in 2013, we will have a better idea. but we can say with certainty the top 10 projects will get done. so have a complete look at the list, we will be working on it starting this quarter. supervisor farrell: ok. >> and i can speak to jordan park laurel heights, the project going on out there. we have had a couple of meetings with the community working group in that area. we plan to complete that effort and have a larger neighborhood meeting to kind of wrap up the jordan part laurel heights project. we will inform your office at that meeting so you can attend. >> the one thing i would ask in

terms of that project, especially because i live there, just to keep my office more informed. i do not care if it is formal or informal. my step just tell me there are potential bike lanes on euclid. that is totally new to me. i will get a lot of calls on that. i would like more frequent interaction on that. i want to make sure that i am able to respond to constituents. i think we would all want that in our districts. i would appreciate that. supervisor campos: thank you. >> the other slide on pedestrian safety, masonic avenue streetscape improvements. it crosses several districts. the target date for environmental clearance is in december 2012. there is quite a spectrum of potential costs and potential recommended apartments, from $700,000 to $80 million. that will be a policy

consideration before this body. these are two city-wide projects, school crosswalk maintenance. a 15-mile per hour zone near schools. implementation is proceeding on or even better than scheduled. specific locations are located on the tables. marina crosswalk opening, this is a project we recently discussed. there was a proposed new crosswalk that would connect marina to this pedestrian area. as m.t.a. was starting the project, the department of public works and disability coordinators provided some suggested changes that would have resulted in ain a new desie required additional outreach and significant cost increases. some of the design changes, just to give you a flavor, which have eliminated the current way onto

beach street. the servicing project actually started earlier this month. it is trying to get done in time for america's cup. given that schedule, the m.t.a. decided to postpone the implementation of its crosswalk system so as not to interfere. a couple of projects year. marine agreement i will not talk about today. bicycle maintenance, -- work has not really proceeded on this. by the end of next month, if we do not have the ability to proceed, the lincoln disclose that grant and then we can proceed. >> i wanted to ask you if you

can keep me in the loop on the mid richmond traffic colony from 14th avenue to 17th avenue on lake. also, the six masonic efforts to try to quiet traffic along masonic. i do have a question about the target that is proposed to come and in early 2013. you estimated that it is between $700,000 to $8 million. that seems like a huge range. where would that funding come from? it seems like there will be significantly more people coming in. and the parking structures are confusing behind high school. and a lot of the neighbors in my district and other places are concerned about that traffic quieting down and the mitigation around that site. if you could give me an idea of where the funding would come from that -- for that. >> the potential sources include

prop k, the property streets bond, as well as proper aa as well as one of the area block grants. a couple of slides on the various signal and project slides going on. these are across multiple districts, of course. the sonic upgrade was approved by the board by as we prepared -- by the board last week. mid 2012 is when mta expects construction of that project. generally, the project has been to improve visibility for all users, boat -- motor vehicles as well as pedestrians alike.

the expected completion date is now december, 2012. contract 60, which is under construction, the signal located at california and peers is expected to be activated, working in may of this year. with that, are there any questions by commissioner farrell of district two? i should say that both the authority to staff and the mta staff were very helpful. >> as the districts are being redrawn, i'm wondering if you're taking that into account as you are going forward with the presentations. >> yes, we're very excited about that. next month, we will have all of the boundaries realigned. >> thank you. >> and you can see the categorization of the types of projects year. if we did include a very high

level grouping of the caltrain project, since caltrain does run through a significant portion of the district. typically, around september, the plans and programs committee which oversees the capital budget contribution to caltrain that we made through the prop k program prepared -- program. >> in district 10, we are involved in many studies with several partners, agency side. within the community and within other jurisdictions. we have identified and prioritized a major list of projects in the order of $500 million, and potentially a way to distribute the funding responsibility across functions and across private stakeholders. we expect to bring a steady to you in a month or two. the bay shore study, not we just

adopted how those ideas -- we just adopted how those ideas would come together. the interchange and the third street light rail and the buses all beating in. we are very active in the candlestick at brisbane project. it is connecting to the new geneva and the brt. that project we hope will be done and coordinating on the geneva brt initiative, which is an initiative across the by- county partnership. the authority board approved after we had applied for and received some grant funding -- this is a continuation of our transportation effort in the bay area.

this will be to help some of the organizations serving be used and general community members to get from those services and programs. and in particular, general vehicle sharing and collaboration there. the department of health will come forward with a potential pilot for the y and other coordination for transportation in the heels of an area. -- in the hell's own area. the oakdale study will be presented in the may/june cycle, along with bridge replacement. i will turn it over to maria at this point and then come back to speak to that. i want to thank commissioner cohen for being such a leader with both our board and the caltrans board for such a good

process and outcome. excuse me, there's one more i will be doing. the cesar chavez community parks plan and bike lane our initiatives we have been assisting in and have funding roles in. the first one with the planning department to help them envision the eastern end, how to improve bicycle and pedestrian connections while also connecting truck traffic. that study has concluded and will be brought to the commission in may. in terms of the bike lanes, there have been a lot of -- has been a lot of coordination. primarily to try to balance the

needs of the general traffic and truck traffic and turning movements in this critical location. >> quickly, to a few of the pedestrian safety projects going on in his district, we have 15- mile per hour zones in this area near schools. the visibility is going well. we have been looking at crosswalks and potentially eliminating parking spaces near them to improve visibility for pedestrians crossing the street. this connects to public housing at the top of the hill. the picture you can see, it desperately needs improvement. construction should start in july. that is one of the very few sources of funding where we can improve the stairway. that is always a cause for celebration.

this is probably the first plan to get started, but could get influenced by the new effort to reach envision how the traffic will be coming forward. >> ms. lombard, i think commissioner cohen had a question. >> thank you, actually. you answered it. it was related to the stairway improvement plans. i want you to talk about the partnership, but you did. the >> thank you. >> that just reminded me that mta will be contacting you very soon about coping. the efforts are just getting underway now. there is also a handout that was included in the packet. this is the same kind of traffic projects going on city- wide. the same projects have been approved and the -- just like we

lost it -- we talk about lots summer there are various initiatives. we also have bayview north and south. mta does the general improvements first and any move on to the next step, getting progressively more significant improvements until yet achieved what the goals are. a lot going on with bicycles in district 10. this photo shows a project currently under way with a bike lane on a short period -- on bayshore. that will run from paul avenue to silver avenue. this is the car away and construction truck. -- the cargo plane under

construction. we see construction on 16th and ri street. -- rhode island street. >> commissioner cohen. >> could we go back to the last slide? we kind of rushed over this one. we talked about cargo way, the cycle track. maybe you could talk about men and what is adding to the delaet curator -- to the delay. >> we are basically preparing and restriking -- restriking -- restriping the bicycle lanes citywide. a few items included in its scope have been done with other funding, but basically the funds

have just been sitting there. the we have been waiting for the mta bus and new list of facilities -- to give us a new list of facilities. there is a much greater need for restriking -- restriping the lanes. >> and you know what the holdup is on receiving the list of the revised scope from the mta? >> -- why don't you have it already? >> i can ask. >> as maria mentioned, with the injunction of the priorities shifting through the 40 + projects that we had on the books, we have made significant progress in implementing those projects. and we are updating the bike maintenance as we speak. we plan to have that done in a month or so. >> i would also like to acknowledge that our office

received numerous females thanking us for the bike lanes on cesar chavez. since you are close by, i wanted to pass that on. kudos. you can continue. >> ms. lombardo? >> one of the project that we alerted the supervisor to was a signal upgrade. it is funded by a highway safety improvement program grant. they got the paperwork in, but a day before the deadline. which is fine. we think the funds will stay there, but it is kind of like filing your taxes late. that means you have to enter the queue for caltrans to process it. and caltrans will do their best, but we are just keeping an eye on it. and died to also understand mta will become a year in july for a matching -- i also understand

mta will be coming here in july for a matching funds the transition. this is another project we have flag here. this is the car anyway -- harney way project improvement. this particular scope is funded by an old federal earmarked. the project scope is expanding from four lanes to six lanes and include bicycle and pedestrian improvements and accommodates future cost rapid trend -- bus and rapid transit.

everybody is trying to call back all of the grants that are out there. this grant is currently not obligated. i know there are problems with iraq because of the department of public works. -- with your marks because of the department of public works. i know that frank from the department of public works and also the mayor's office are here if there are questions about this project pierpont -- this project. and caltrain, most of the prop k funds go toward state repair. he might have -- you might have relied on caltrain to do glorious things like replacing light bulbs at the station. there are other things going on, particularly with the folks in district 10. the bridge and road replacement

project has potential plans for future oakdale construction. grex this is the first of two bridges in the area -- >> this is the first of two bridges in the area. they're both about 100 years old and they both do need to be replaced. we have been holding public workshops and will continue to do so until we come back to the authority for potential policy decision in june regarding how that bridge should be replaced. we would be at the staff level compared -- preparing a connector road with that. the graphic on the right would allow folks to cross at gerald. or replacing bridge no. 2 for

$25 million. the problem with that option is that it precludes the station from being built without having to rebuild that bridge, which would add another at several tens of millions of dollars. and the third option would be a wider bridge, but that would be $35 million and really have $25 million in place. we will be at the southeast community facility tonight. will be going to the bayview shipyard. we will summarize that input in the next month or so. >> commissioner cohen. >> thank you, mr. chair. i would be interested in hearing from mr. wells lawson. if you could just talk to us a little better about the grand -- the grant and how it relates to harney way.

>> the grant, as ms. lombardo said, was an earmarked that we received in 2009. we're using it as the first baby step for the candlestick point, part of the project approvals received in 2010. as everyone knows, in 2011, we have been sorting out and did suspension under ab26 the law that dissolves the redevelopment at the time. we have basically been on hold while trying to move forward with projects. now that we have resolved those issues, we're underway using the funds for these grants during the survey work that is required for the roadway widening. we have approved a conceptual plan and those transportation

plans. we will be doing just the legal work around the acquisition of the right of way and moving forward with those plans. >> thank you very much. it -- does that conclude the presentation? that concludes the presentation. colleagues, i hope you found the presentation very informative. our goal is not only to inform the individual members about what is happening in the individual districts, but throughout the city, and more important, to make sure that the members are aware of the various projects that are being funded in their neighborhoods and citywide. any member of the public like to speak on the presentations made by staff on the authority projects in district two and in district 10? >> as you stated, with the redistricting, as far as i know

maybe from and sell for sure it up to silver will come under district 9. -- maybe from manzel for sure and up to silver will come under district 9. we ought to be very careful with the bike lanes. six people have been killed in recent months. those doing the planning should be aware of this. that idea would be since we have perilous streets to san bruno, like gerard street, maybe some of the viking lanes can be transferred over there. -- the biking planes can be transferred over there. it is kind of done remote- control. but that is on them. but that is resulting from

bicycle coalitions -- maybe we had two, but we had a couple in castro, some on market street, and a couple in the financial district. in talking about the bicycle lanes, we need to keep in mind that as a result of the bicycle coalition. you can only do that if you are prudent and you do good design work. i travel a lot and i will travel again, go to europe. and i see a lot of changes in that design. we need to have some creativity here regarding the bicycle

lanes. >> thank you very much. is there any member of the public who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 13. >> this is a new information item. >> colleagues, any new items to introduce? any member of the public like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. please call item 14. >> public comment. >> this is an opportunity to comment on anything in the transportation authority jurisdiction, but nothing on the agenda. madam clerk, please call item 15. >> meeting adjournment. rex meeting adjourned. thank you very much. -- >> meeting adjourned. thank you very much.
