not belong to district 4. they have no idea about the boundaries. since i am talking about the boundaries, we changed the boundaries of recently, and did you do not live in the city, you will just get a paycheck hear it in the city. it is good for you to study the boundaries so you will talk about the other districts to know exactly what we're talking, and to focus on changes and improvements, but they have to be factual. again, i want to stress, we need to know the numbers of people killed. pedestrians killed by is bicyclist. , because, right now we do not have a mechanism where bicyclist

are licensed and maybe some of them have to get orientation like a driver's license and how to ride a bike, because some people use them as a tool, and some people have used them as a tool to kill innocent constituents. we need some reports of that. thank you very much. >> members, directors of san francisco and the government, i am not sure who this is directed at, because it was done in so fast of a fashion, i could not understand what was happening. somebody is a citizen and they actually want to pay attention to government and listening on sfgtv or sitting in audience having someone go through it really does not help. i look at this and say we have

flagged projects that are at risk or have sound and -- shown indications that it may, at risk for missing timely deadlines or have delivery issues that could result in some of it scope, schedule, cost or funding changes. i heard nothing about what projects were behind, how far they were behind, what was being done to catch up, what needed to be done to catch up, when the deadlines were, what the cost would be if we did not meet the deadlines or any of the information that i would think would show up in this. we discover a brief overview. we of this project of this project, and a few not very salient facts, and it really does not address much of what is in this article. if you are going to be meaningful about this, there is no reason to do anything when you consider most of you do not

pay attention to whether people are speaking, and if this event is intended for the public to get information, it falls way short. i know it is the city hall family, and you want to do -- you want to talk to folks to talk to all the time, and they know what the abbreviations are, and they know what all of this is, but i think the intention is to some degree to let the members of the public that are paying for all of this is some understanding -- is some understanding of what we're talking about. are we talking about something that is millions behind in months behind in millions in danger of being lost or something that is a little behind, but we a been making progress? i did not hear any of that. and i was a project manager for years, and it is one -- if one of my subordinates came in and give me a bunch of stuff like this, i would say what i've i supposed to do with that?

i cannot make any decisions. from what you told me, i got a lot of verbiage, and i have no idea how far things are behind or what, so we need to meet in my office and have a real long discussion about what these reports are supposed to do. supervisor campos: 6 speaker, please. did you could please call item no. 11. -- next speaker, please. any member of the public that would like to speak a number 11? seeing none, public comment is closed. an opportunity for members of the public to speak on any item that is not of the agenda, but within the jurisdiction of the san francisco county transportation authority. >> ray hearts, director of san

francisco open government. >> i kno you sii know you listed think this guy is a real pain in the back none, heside. you know if the same person had gone up and said i think what you said is bull shit, they would have a share call them out. the reality is that like it or not, as citizens of this country, those flags of there's a self, get to make comments whether you like the comments or not. there is a real attitude among the boards, committees, all of them that they really, because the volunteer the time, do not to listen to these people, and that is not the truth. i am looking forward to july 4 when the board of supervisors --

july, whenever the next meeting is before the july 4 holiday, and i want to hear all of this that we support the constitution, flag, and then watch procedurally as there is a concerted effort to deny people an opportunity to actively heard dissipate. i really do think every board and commission in taking the oath, the members really taken the oath to encourage public comment. there really i come here and make the comments is not because i want to be an a-hole, it is because i took an oath when i joined the united states navy to support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. when i watch elected officials take the attitude that they can

be disrespectful to members of the public that come here to speak, where they can ignore people, and they can do it with such blatant disregard, to the oath they took to support and defend the constitution, whenever anybody individual or individuals -- individual or citizen of the city has a right to come talk to you about anything they feel you need to hear. maybe if you did not talk so much yourself, you would not be so worried about the time constraints and constantly looking for ways to cut back on what the citizens are allowed to say. trying to find these roles and things, which violate the constitution by saying that is electioneering or you cannot say that, that is this, you cannot say that.

in the bottom line is if you are right, this will commit to time, and if you are love -- wrong, they lost the right to speak. commissioner compost: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is jackie sex. at the last plans and programs committee meeting last week, one of them was brought up that i think all of you should take into consideration for the brt project is in consideration. one thing you have to remember is there were two rail projects in 1989. one was supposed to meet up with the other one. i was on the transit task force, and one thing you should do before the next planned programs

meeting and the next full-board meeting where you take the subject into consideration, all of you should do your homework. one is the final report that was published back in 1989, who has since retired above the kiri light rail project. also-- about the geary light rail project. you should read the project in 1995. also, the srtp that same time, it was quoted as the only way to alleviate traffic congestion. this is what the people of the city wanted back in 1989, and you should look into those three documents, and do your homework before you take any action on

that one subject next month. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i just want to talk on one issue. some time ago we all agreed that it their projects regarding pedestrian crossing, that we would get a list -- we all agree that if there were projects regarding pedestrian crossing, that we would get a list and make it easier. i would like to see list of those projects. how are they lined up? because some of you from the san francisco county transportation agency said we may not have the money now, but we will have the money in the future. we cannot take the risk of having our elders and children

die of this crosswalks. some of us do have the ability to use some pressure directly, and get a crosswalk painted. ordinary citizens. but you folks, if you just go on van ness, you will see despicable conditions of the sidewalks are not painted. i want you to pay attention to that. the other thing is i think it will serve the nation -- i think if you serve the nation, you get a sense of decency and standards. i see some of the supervisors

have decided just to take a hike. that is fine. go take a hike. as some of us have been saying, come election time, we can make some of your -- some of you take a hike forever, we do not really have to go there. i have been watching some of the deliberations, and some of the representatives all they think is to get into some political situation, putting political power so they can bring in the moneys. others are not. it is all over the nation starting with the lobbyist. now we try to play the republicans. -- now we tried to blame the republicans. we have a few corrupt democrats right on the top. we have one woman who has written $42 million.

politicians must servelearn to serve tehe people, not bring in the millions. >> item 13, adjournment. commissioner campos: meeting adjourned. thank you very muc >> i'm sue desmond hell monday,

i'm chancellor here at the university of san francisco. thank you. that's very nice. i'm very, very pleased on behalf of all of my colleagues here at university of california san francisco to welcome all of you to mission bay. if you haven't been here before, look around you. here we are, less than 10 years from the time this building first went up here at mission bay and now we're a thriving environment for science, teaching and patient care who are all focused on one most important thing. advancing health worldwide. [applause] i'm particularly -- that's good. that's worth applauding. i want to offer a heart felt welcome to leader pelosi and san francisco mayor ed lee. welcome to both of you. [applause] i also want to welcome members of the san francisco board of supervisors and other distinguished guests this afternoon. we're particularly honored to have leader pelosi here as we are very, very grateful for 25 years of public service.

thank you. she has worked tirelessly on behalf of san francisco, the bay area and the nation and i particularly want to call out her work as a champion of issues in human health including h.i.v. aids, biomedical research and innovation and so many more of the important areas of science that are so important to all of us here at ucsf. thank you, leader pelosi. this is a great day today for us at ucsf mission bay and the entire mission bay community. the transportation secretary's announcement earlier today of a $10 million infrastructure investment in mission bay is yet another vote of confidence in the great city of san francisco and our dynamic mission bay community. the grant which the d.c. insiders call a tiger grant will drink infrastructure that is

critical for ensuring access for program at ucsf mission bay. with respect to point out the $1.5 million 550-bed hospital. it will provide aid to women, children and cancer patients. construction is underway directly south of us scheduled to open in early 2015. more broadly, the transportation -- will be a key transit source for the full ufsf campus providing bike lines, pedestrian walkways and transit editions necessary to serve this vibe brant and still growing community. as the second largest provider of employment in the city continued success is key to our city and our nation's economic competitiveness. thank you so much, speaker

pelosi, mayor lee and the entire san francisco family for working hard. we really appreciate it. thank you. [applause] now i would like to introduce our next speaker and director of the successor agency to the san francisco redevelopment agency, tiffany bohe. [applause] >> thank you, chancellor. good morning, everyone. my name is tiffany bohe. i'm pleased to introduce our speaks for this afternoon. our next speaker is the director of the san francisco municipal transportation agency, ed riskin. ed has served in the this capacity for over a year prioritizing balancing budgets, creating greater first quarter sis in our transit system and investing strategicically in our capital complex with the commitment of improving on-time performance. ed riskin. [applause]

>> thank you, tiffany. it is so great to be here. to me mission bay is really a model for the nation of how we should do land use and transportation planning and redevelopment. it is a model for us here in san francisco, modeling what will happen at treasure island and down in hunter's point. what that means from a transportation perspective is designing the land use of a transportation to serve people, not just building roads for cars to pass through, but designing and building the public rights of way for people to be in for the benefit of the people who are going to work here, who are going to live here, who are going to visit here. what this tiger grant means to us is one of the final pieces to knit together that part of the puzzle that is integral with making mission bay work the way it was designed to work. putting in the last piece of the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and putting in the road way connections to make for first quarter but safe auto

travel and maybe most importantly finishing the final transit connections for mission bay, the loop that you see down there, number four, the loop that is going to enable us to increase the service on the third street, light rail, the extension of the 22 fillmore on the other side of this building that is going to serve the beautiful new hospital with a zero emission electric bus. these are the things that are needed to make mission bay work and realize its potential just a short anecdote. i was at a meeting a couple of blocks from here to talk about parking management. there are not that many people who live here yet but those ho do are very concerned with parking and this was an area that was designed so that people could live here without having their own automobile or certainly multiautomobiles. as we're starting to manage parking to achieve that goal people are saying you can't ask us to get out of our cars until the transit service good.

until there are bike ways and walkways. i look forward with working with the director of public works, with tiffany, with the mar major's office and the rest of the city family to get these dollars in the ground, to get jobs created and to really help realize the vision for mission bay. i very much want to thank mayor lee and particularly leader pelosi who has been a strong and consistent and persistent advocate to help make mission bay realize. i also want to acknowledge tom nolan and director jerry lee who got great support to make this work. mission bay is definitely a model for this country and as the chancellor said, a strong vote of confidence for getting this grant today. thank you very much. [applause] >> our next speaker is mike theriot, the distinguished secretary treasurer of the san

francisco building and trades commission and worker in the trades commission since 19835. mike? >> we in the construction unions in san francisco are very grateful for the jobs that this grant is going to bring us as indeed we are grateful for all the jobs that federal contributions have brought us in what has for us in the construction industry generally been a depression, not a recession. for example, we had doyle drive. we had the train box. we had 50 united nations plaza. those have kept us alive at a time when otherwise we would be in more dire straits. this grant is not in that scale, but it does a very, very important thing. the mission bay district here, as those of you who know san francisco well understand, is becoming a major economic driver for the -- for san francisco. and it has good transportation bones. it has 280 to the west.

it has the cal train station just north of mission creek. those bones tie them to the economic body of the complex. that's what this project does. it provides the linkage between the bones of transportation that already exists and the complex developing here and i think it serves as an example for what could be going on in the rest of the country. work is turning around here in san francisco in construction. you can see the tower cranes around but it is not in many parts of the country and there we're looking at an commix economist from the university of utah told us a few weeks ago, a five-year ark before the construction industry comes back to its precrash highs. projects like this, projects that have multiple purposes that put us to work so that it can put other to work in the complex s that areserved by transportation are just what we need and so we are again grateful. we think it is a great example for the country and we'll use it

well here. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, mike. mayor lee has kept a laser-like focus on economic development, job creation. doing what it takes to make sure that san francisco keeps investing an infrastructure which is the backbone of our city. please join me in welcoming mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you, tiffany. well, mike, i just want to make sure you know all of us own this two-word mantra. jobs now has been something we have all heard and i know leader pelosi has said it time and time again, whether she is here or in the air or if she lands in d.c., we have to have these jobs for the american people. that's what has been our joint mantra. i want to just let you know how thankful and happy i am to join our partners at ucsf. leader pelosi, a good friend, to

let you know we were hanging out here a few minutes ago. every time we come together is because we are sharing good news about the efforts we have committed to ahead of us and behind us. so we were commenting on that. we have got if keep this in context. less than a decade ago, we were august all looking at a rail yard and people said in san francisco we worked with labor. i want to thank members of our redevelopment agency, the commissioners who are here today that are no longer technically commissioners but they are just as committed today as they were years ago when we had a redevelopment agency because they worked with the city to make sure that this area was not only an area to pay attention to, they were part of the team that leader pelosi and i in my previous days in public works were trying to identify with mohammed about what were the

lines of boundaries that we could carve out. what we could do with our infrastructure and how we work with muni and infrastructure and all of the other agencies to make sure we built this so when we built the infrastructure and we invested in this pressure, private investment and private money confidence would come. well, it has arrived in a big, big way. and if you look at what chancellor has already noted for you, in addition, we have some of the largest world renowned pharmaceutical companies right here setting up their research. they are going to make major breakthroughs whether it is bayer or others. in addition to that, we have a public safety building that d.p. swmbings leading. we are building therefore fire and police headquarters.

we have got the giants. in all of their success, they are taking another pod of land to also add more value next door to mission bay. we have got the very successful housing units that are already filled up. so as ed riskin said earlier, it is mot just transportation. it is for who and for what. we are building community here with our u.c. partners partners and our private investments and this is what secretary lahood and leader pelosi and president obama has said all along. we won't just give these very limited grants just to give grants out. they have to see the evidence of the public/private partnerships to put it in the context of building community and that's what this $10 million is for. it may sound not as much but it is absolutely critical to fulfilling that loop to increasing the capacity of the

bicycle and pedestrian lanes so it really does, at this time, complement everything that we have done thus far, and by the way, without us having done those public/private partnerships, we would not have seen this grant. we learned that from the tiger one grants. leader pelosi was up there with me not too long ago when we were complimenting the structure of the old non-safe drive to welcome in the parkway. i know that as more competition comes from limited federal moneys, we have got to prove do we have our game together and our game and our act is about building the whole neighborhood. not just one part or the other. not just getting started. these funds are some competitive now that every time we win one, we're going to celebrate even better because they are in the context of other things that we

have to do in a public/private setting. i want to thank fair lawn capital. i want to thank the mission bay development group that has been working on and on. i want to thank our redevelopment partners and d.p.w. and sfmta and all of our public agency partners for their working together because this does really create that collaboration that is absolutely needed. but there is always someone who i will always cherish for a long, long, long time and certainly for the rest of my life. you know, leader pelosi has been there from the start. you know, we have named something for her as a complement for 25 years. but i'll tell you, that's just going -- sfu you went to any other part of the city whether it is presidio, mission bay, you could easily name another drive there with everybody's support

for her because she has been everywhere with us. mission bay did not happen overnight. it required sustained, long determination and commitment action and who has been there frr for all day one and has never ever lessened her commitment to this? that has been leader pelosi. i just want to take this opportunity to thank you, leader, for being with us, not just today, not just for this announcement. i know we're celebrating this announcement. but has been there in the years past and given us the foundation to hope and continue getting these things done and then to have this as another great announcement. thank you to you for your leadership. thank you for giving us that special voice. jobs now, jobs now, jobs now for everybody. thank you very much. [applause] thank you very much. [applause]
