recommendation following closely on the heels as the bus rapid transit project. current work is on e environmental transportation analysis. we have begun our ouutreach to provide the community with updates on the community project. these a a set of open houses scheduled for the end of june. now i will call on michael schwartz to come up and talk about additional authority-let phases. >> good morning, chair and commissioners. the next betty in the packet is the better market street package, which came with a package amendment, and we will make an informational meeting. if there are any additional

questions, i will move on to the next slide, which is other a 40-let projects. it is a multi-agency project. this involved looking at different policiesand pilot for transportation management. we will have upcoming studies in the nghborhd transportation plan. that is being covered as part of the trends that affect in this plan. >> just a quick update on central subway. we are making significant progress in securing the full funding grant agreement for the project. the current project out is $233 million construction project. there is approximately $57 million in prop k supporting that. w expect a full update in the

next quarter. the next project is more to the next list, bicycle facility meat and products. this is a project we have reported on for every district. this was a project behind schedule. we worked with mta to select a new list of projects. we will be working with mta on the new list. the first lists are on your slide here. the next project is a broadway street scape and friedman project phase three. this is one of the final connectionof the fall five what upgrade from broadway to grant street to batteries street. this is connecting in the middle -- a metal block of the street. this is replanting, streetscapes upgrades and pedestrians daylighting. this is supported by a prop k sales tax. the next project is a federally funded project.

this project is moving forward into construction. it is currently in caltrans for review for construction application. mta anticipates beginning construction in early 2013 and completing the ojec by december 2013. the bottom of this blood is the 50 mile per hour/project. that is substantially completed with signs installed at approximately 180 schools throughout the city. that did receive those signs. the next two projects are signal projects. the first signal modification contract, this is to do simple modifications to existing signals like pedestrian countdowns. we included the location in district 3. this project experience a slight delay.

the second project here is the link to the p r t. brt project. that project is federally funded. and just waiting to coordinate the schedule. the next project is signals and science project. this is to upgrade fligh lightrail vehicles. this project is behind schedule, but it is moving forward in terms securing federal funds that need to be secured by the end of this year. we will work with mta to get an amendment to reset the schedule for the project. this is just a quick slide.

this is an older brand we allocated to the port for several years ago and the use their own funds to plan the downtown very expansion project. we will work with them to close of the grants and reassigned the funds. the next project is the escalator rehab project. there are two phases of this project. phase one was high priorities. that project did experience some delays due to issues with america -- fire america requirements. the project is now on track. we worked on an amendment to get that project on track. there is expected completion by 2013. phase ii is currently in design. it is going through little bit of a budget reduction.

the original budget included $17 million for 23 escalators. we are now free prioritizing capital funding needs. they will be looking at doing between 10-17 escalators. the budget has gone from 70 million to 10 million. that project will also it encounter a scuttled the leg, and we are working to get the amended schedule to realign the project. the final project for district 3 is the over all of the track. this project was recently completedmoving forward. dstrict -- >> before you move to district 9, maybe we could hear from the district 3 supervisor. supervisor chiu: thank you fo there are a number of items that were attributabl district 3.

i do hope and wish that in the future we can work morecloselyws on the district three priorities. rom my perspective, what is isions that were made year ago but did not reflect wh i think ou porities for my district now. i want to state that so we look forwarn the ture to have been closer discussis ou there a certainly projects here i support, but as far a do the transportation priority the dtrict, i think tre i know this is now why we're going district by district through the anysis. ipreciate that, and i look

forward to that work in progress. supervisor camp following that, one of the reasons why i thought it wasortant to not only follow the proctin the wor, but give each one of us to highlight the project or issues that arenot in t pipeline that should be in the pipeline, and i think the comment that commissioner chu made is ght onoint. hopefull as we go through each dirict presentation, you n talk about some of those projects or issues that you st need to be added. i appreciate tt. a general question to staff. and as u eg through these discussions with commissioners rt of what is theprocess for possibly ludingthgs tt may not be currently in the works.

and just to make it clear fr authority does not come up with the projects. owever, the board has of tremendous amount of influencing. priorities are is fantastic. i cannot emphasize enough the window is extremely important, because we have the vehicle regiration fee, closed to $38 million in area grant funds, and a tremendous amount of proper k funds, so this is the chance for the board to put its mark on the hot sex. it can include projects tt ar fully developed in the design or

construction funding. we will be scheduling briefings with all of your offices to seek public input on thaas well. commissionerchiu: i ju want to say in tha regard, and i state it is privately yesterday, but i have a lot of nterest seeing wk and pilo bng done n polk street. alg columbus -- columb proposals avue, and the embarcadero needs mo wor project really given the america's cup coming through. in chinatown. lo of ideas of wt we cdo, anlook forward to rk ith out how we can find money is to movethe projects for work. supervisor campos: thank you. if you can please continue. >> good morning. moving to district 9 -- senior planning-- planner at the

planning commission. amid the othe octavia circulatin freeway affects cluster nine and several of your other districts. this is a stu of traffic circulation, both locally and regionally affecting the cord network rightre in our neck of the woods. we expect to bring the power report to their plans and programs committee within the next couple of months. among the corridor identified in this study is the san jose corridor, and we have been wrking with the partners at caltrans and other city departments to seek for their funds from caltrans to do a more robust design fort. both in that location and within the city area and you see shown on the slides, we are developing more near-term project opportunities to improve safety and traffic, the area.

-- traffic calm in the area. the next project is one that was led by the planning department. it is the east community design plan. it was a visiting effort that looked at how we could change it to the 101 interchanged to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and generally make it more neighborhood-oriented. interchange is also called the hairball for those of you that may be keeping track. the short-term what that short- term and small-skill improvements. it also looked at reconfiguring the entire inner change as a long-term potential improvement. i will now can't control over to the commissioner. >> that is the last change.

district 9 project, at the first one is the green wave in the parking project. district 9 project is green wave along 14th street to folsom. i just wanted to also note there will be a larger green wave project -- this is to time green at lights for bicycle access along the corridor. there will be a series of projects that will be coming for prop k allocation, and you should see that in june. the next slide is the reebok to call it -- please call projects. these should be completed by june of this year. the folsom street bicycle project from 13th street to 19th street is completed. you see a picture of the completed picture on this slide. that ties into the next

project, that streetscape improvement project. this carries the bicycle lane down from 13 through 19. that project is scheduled to go into construction september 2012. the street scape improvement project is also expected to go into construction in september 2012. we have ipw staff here to answer any specific questions. the 15 mile per hour signs around the schools, at these locations include district 9. the traffic coming implementation project, the majority of them in district 9 are from traffic calling plans. we included the maps in your packet, and also include the list of projects in their current status. i know the traffic coming

project is homes own implementation. this is a project where they combine them in a martial state across the school project. also a map included that shows a map of the projects and all of the improvements in their current status. converting standard crosswalks, this is converting what we call transfers or parallel line spots. these projects are both moving along well, and you can see the locations here. the next slide is what i call this week of 24th street. this is all centered around a grant that is federally funded and prop k leveraged improvement to the 24th street in mission. two pieces of this that we broke off to do implementation are on the northwest section and on the

southeast section. we broke off early to make sure they go along with the mission street repaving project. the next few projects are similar projects we did an overview for on district 3, signal modification project. i just wanted to note that 30th street is actually already implemented. here was already across walk along the southern side of the intersection, and we were able to use prop b funds to get this already implemented and in the ground. the final project fordistrict 9 is the 17th street pavement renovation project. this notice was issued in february and should be completed by this summer. with that, we will take any questions. we have agencies back here as well. >> thank you. servisor campos: in terms of

e overall time line of the poject, have the been delays in any other projects? >> currently district 9 has no delays that would affect federal we're waitingfor the review that is going well. those are moving well. just a question related to the point ha commissioner chu sure that commissioners n inform you of new project that they might have or issues that should buy priorities that are no currently prties taking thaturther, w we make iolvement or input on that?

the kosher. > su. speaking specifically to the one-statearea plan, we certainly have a schedule established to do an informational item. then we will come back for an action item, and that is just on reflective projecto getour input and community input on the actual guidelines nd then move rward to a project selection process from their where we will be doing our each through chanls we have worked on to select projects for that, and we information item and action item. we will work th project sponsors once we ave sected the projects to make se they are getting out to the community anking sure the

community isrought bk in as when we ever project combining several different authorities together can get back to the inp. >> i w simply ask that you continueo work with individual folks in their districts that need to be involved are volved. commissioner olague: i just have a quick question about outreach. i ow in district 3 there are a large number of folks that are bingual, asll as in district. our most of our rear most of th materials culturally sensitive or bilingual? >> we strive to have all of them bilingual. ten we can obviously have translation rves vailable for the that needed at

meings aings of th >> how do you approach that out reach? >> o you go to the schools? do you go to nonprofits? to >> one of the challenges is e we try to put a higher priority for projects that are coming through this. >commissioner campos: any other comments or questions? we want to thank staff for the work and presentation. we will open it up to public comment. >> [inaudible] supervisors, you must remember, do not take this personally, what you can do s thguys tt come e and give you a

presentation, you can ask them for a power point presentation, and you can give this to the schools, merchants, other organizations. let me foc on district 9. it is cry to have a bicycle lane on san bruno ave, unless you have $500 million to pay for we have already had six deaths. ride their bicycles participate in thex-games. it is unaltic have a cycle lane from silver to bacon. why? because of the muni buses. they go he sidewalk, becauses,

at is the only way they are safe. there are out 20 blind spots because o how narrow the road is. we need engineersto fi thi out, and not do it with remote- controlled. these guys here do notlive in the unity. i do not know from where ty come and what they feel about us. when it comes o bicycles, of cose we all love bicycles, but we have to love afety. we do not want some supervisor to be knocked down just because he rides a bike. supervisor campos thank you.

next speaker. >ubc mment is closed. one of the things i would le to expre is as we continue with these discussions is how do wealso infm members f thes being funded by the county tonsportation authority and hear about other priorities that are not onhe list that should be included, so if youhe any houghts or suggestions on the process for making sure that happens, i am very open to doing discuions are the beginning of making sure we shed light on everhinghais bng funded. anher thing thi is important that we shld bring other agencies to have of county transportation authority

is providing funding andhow do we make sure there is coordination and inpu from the district supervisors, not only from the county transportation authority, but from the other agencies? >commissioner concerned a little bit about the coordination. i am not sure how this is all gtting how the work is being integrated, and that sort of thin we have so many departments working on transportation issues. the mta, planning. we have the mayor's office that has th own adviser on tranortation issues. i would li to have a better sense of how the effos are being ordinated. and decided on anthat sort of thing. t some point i in it would be useful to have a better sense of that.
