i want to touch on any cathedral killed and how they -- the cathedral hill and how they interact as far as construction. ithe final eir report is expectd to be published by the end of this calendar year. it is undergoing review and it is approximately 18 are some months behind the van nessztafñ. it is a depiction of the configuration of the locally preferred alternative. let me focus on the construction and the relationship tof the cathedral hill campus. it3/o@ñ is going to begin in maf 2015 with the duration of 14 months. the brt is going to be constructed in three different faces. it is like to move from the northern direction of lombard down to a mission.

we do think that a phase two is going to overlap a little bit with the cathedral hill campus construction. that is anticipated toó/u 40 truck trips per day. they will have to take alternate routes. the tunnel for the medical office building and the hospital is going to be constructed f cathedral hill construction periods. that tunnel is going to be already done. that construction will be occurring at night time. as far as the geary brt, 33rd avenue. between market, the

transportation authority and mta are planning some near-term low- cost transit improvements. as far as the operation, at the transportation analysis in the eir did look at impacts of the campus in combination with the van ness project. the lake is expected to increase along the van ness corridor and other streets. with the implementation of the cathedral hill campus in combination, there will be moreg intersections along the corridors that would be operating at unacceptable levels of service. those would be around -- i want to quickly convert cpmc transportation demand management program.

they have a program they implement at their campuses. this includes an expansion of that existing program and would include the following components. an increased transportation subsidy. an increased parts pricing system wide. dedicated full time programmer manager. additional promotion program. increased number of ?ñ bicycle parking spaces. an expanded shuttle service. president chiu:]=w perspective, there are two very different visions about what could happen. either we do not have contestant or we have -- ingestion, or we have a very little contestant. -- congestions.

the discussions with cpmc, did you consider some sort of mitigation to take that into account? one thing i would suggest, when we negotiated the treasure island project, there was a determined that project that sets aside $5 million to support transit if the non-car mode shares did not lead to 50% goal. that felt like a smart way of moving forward. was that something that was discussed? what do you think about that as a concept? if the picture is not as rosy? >> it is an interesting concept. there was some conversation. it is a mitigation measure for the impact on the transit lines. it is a little bit different

from having that payment be tied to a particular performance goal. in our eir analysis, we did not consider, we did not give them credit for their proposed program because it is uncertain to say whether it is going to work or not. what the eir it does do analysis on it is without credit for the program, but we do believe that it will work. it is an interesting concept to have it tied to a performance measure. >> if it turns out there is significant congestion, i would think that point, the hospital finances would be able to help supports additional mitigation. i do not think either cpmc or our city wants to see massive ingestion -- cut ingestion -- congestion in that are.

i and a stand that doctors do not want to ride muni -- -i can imagine doctors would be happy to get on a cpmc shuttle that takes them to different campuses. could you talk about what specific commitments are here with regards to shuttles and other coordination services? >> yes. they are proposing to expand their shuttle service. there is a proposed demand as they have as a part of the motion that wasomzú adopted that outlines the hours of operation, the frequencies, and where it is

going, and the anticipated demand. that information is available. president chiu: the devil is always in the details. i would want to know if whether these shuttle services and would reduce these car trips around a hospital. i would like to know how many exactly a new car spaces we're talking about as far as the transit subsidy. we know this has 810-year life to it. -- a 10-year life to it. these are things we ought to discuss. >> thank you, supervisors. i want to speak about the financial contribution the project is proposing for the mta. using the data from the eir, we

looked at some of the group's -- routes impacted. 6]ykykyozthey're already at cap. we did a model based on 2010 financial data. we looked at the impact of operations and maintenance as well as capital on the delay. and other impacts on the muni. the credits that cpmc was afforded are related to some of these contributions that are making for the van ness brt as well as the payroll tax revenue they are proposing to provide to the city as a result of the project. the financial impact on fy10 was $1.3 million. $3+lwe looked at ways before cpo

contribute to offset that impact. what of the first area is -- it exempts nonprofits so it cpmc would have been exempt. we looked at what it would cost. we looked at a mixture of funds that would help the mta. we fully understand that a large parking garage would help incentivize the use of transit. the location of cathedral pelt is one of the impacted corners of -- cathedral hill is one of the most transit impacted corners of the city. there is parking fee.

it is about a 50 cent off peak, a 75 cent peak entry. we expect that to generate of the project. we expect to use those funds to improve transit service and to move individuals out of cars. /l+gzpresident chiu: i know this slated to provide a little bit of an incentive for people not to come in cars. after 10 years, that disincentive will no longer exist. would you assume that is no longer the case? >> i would concur. it is about 10.4 million. it is based on several buildings, it would be collected overtime as each0úz nw building is completed.

the fund from this would be used for transit improvements, signal priorities, as well as equipment to support system reliability. there is also a $400,000 contribution to bicycle and traffic calming studies. president chiu: it is for studies and planning, not for the actual work? one time contribution? >> that is right. i think that is the end of mine. i will just fin"y+2, contributions negotiated in the development agreement regarding pedestrian safety, physical

improvements. for each of the three campuses we are dealing with, there are two sets of street scape type improvements of what you to be aware of. e the projt itself. those are not in the development agreement, but they are part of the project as proposed to the planning department. they're mandated as part of the approvals. i want to focus on the second set. there is a second set of additional improvements, less directly connected to the buildings themselves, but more about the neighborhoods. for davies and st. luke's, they're very simple. there is a list for each. cpmc is required to fulfill those lists and have their own contractors build these things.

they are conditioned t2 those before they are permitted to open the hospital buildings. inrimu the case of cathedral h, because the conditions were removed from the campus, because they were not studied in the eir, we cannot have cpmc do them directly, we used a different approach. they would be obligated to pay the city a sum of money for a list of things the city would do with that money. do the projects. starting with davies, and i will focus on the second set of improvements. tree island improvements, replacement of those trees, pedestrian walkway, visibility and safety improvements, visual upgrades of the perimeter fence, and a pedestrian scale lighting at the entries point,

crosswalk and striping. those are estimated to cost about $475,000. ÷mbbzwhatever the cost, cpmc is obligated to do them. the cost is just a reference point. for st. luke's, we have the same basic structure. upgrades to the small parks project, that would be taken from a temporary to a permanent facility. new pedestrian -- extensions that cesar chavez, a new pocket park, another upgrade to the campus fencing, repairing the perimeter wall around a 1912

building, widening the sidewalks on the west side of valencia, pedestrian lighting along the campus sidewalk. it hasc+rf been pointed out tht is possible that the city -- would be done through other sources ahead of time. we'll get to make this change, but we have a conceptual agreement from cpmc if the city found other resources, they would work with us to give us back the value of those improvements. moving on to cathedral heill, do not have a diagram. what we worked out was a total of $9.3 million over several years. it is aimed at having -- i think i have a slide.

we're able to build these things in concert with opening the hospital. it would be about five years after the da is signed. president chiu: i appreciate the pedestrian safety mitigation. i've been these are important to run a different neighborhoods. i question is around the $9 million these are for pedestrian safety and streetscape improvements blocks away. they are not in the immediate vicinity. for the thousands of pedestrians who will be using the intersections at franklin, then as every day, there don't seem to be investments in crossing times. we have an underground tunnel that is for folks who are parking in the garage, but not for folks who are disabled. what was the rationale behind that? it would seem to me that you would want to invest in

pedestrian safety at least in the immediate vicinity. it seems pedestrian safety right around that. this super important. >> i do understand the question. i do not want to give the wrong impression. the project itself does make all the sorts of improvements are from the four sides of the campus. that is not included%yx -- i apologize, i do not have a diagram. it is not to say that it is not there. there have been improvements on all sides of the campus. in terms of -- i am guessing those are included in the project. i do not know if someone -- was that a nod, greg?

to go through the fields, the first 8 million are dedicated to pedestrian lighting up to 25 blocks. that is the first 4 million. also dedicated, the second 4 million is dead -- -- making it go from one-way to 2-way. doing other physical pedestrian safety improvements connected with that. we do have instruction -- there may be a slight cost differential, slightly more than $4 million, but the program here is to do the lighting and to do the street stuff i

proposed. we have $200,000 for a tenderloin pilot program which is to help children navigate through the tenderloin into the bart station. the lower polk neighborhood to establish the cbd. there is a $1 million grant to use for the kinds of things to do physically improvement in the neighborhood. if it does not manage to get established, the militant dollars would go back to the city to do things in that -- the million dollars from the back to the city to do things in that neighborhood. that is all that i have for you. i do not know if there are further questions. supervisor mar: any other questions, colleagues? >> that completes our presentation. supervisor mar: i have about 80

cards of people who have signed up to speak. we will open it up for public comment, colleagues. once your name is called, we are asking people to line up on the right side of the room. wait until your name is called before coming up. the first is marlene morgon, paul wermer, william ogborn, tom neuy, lia pimentel, tom christian, mark erickson, thaddeus lee, steve woo, sean megerra, calvin welsh, sarah pope, and others.

president chiu: i unfortunately will have to leave shortly for a meeting. i want to thank city staff for their hard work. i hope to get answers to the questions we have raised later today. iowa to thank members of the public who have been focused on this. it is my hope we will be able to move this project into a place that we can all support. i think we all want to see these hospitals rebuilt, but rebuilt the right way. i want to thank everyone involved. we look forward to feature your conversations and discussions in the coming days. chairperson mar: thank you. first speaker? two minutes per person. microphone, please. go ahead. we need to have the microphone functioning. try again, ms. morgan.

>> neighborhood network. i want to talk a little bit about the effects of consolidation of all the acute care beds on cathedral hill on the environment. i think all of you have heard a lot of testimony from other speakers about the effect of consolidation in health care. i have a couple pieces of data you might want to look at. "we were referring to earlier was a study done in 2009, by the office of the legislative analyst of the board of supervisors, to see if the cathedral hill site was going to be able to accommodate the intensity, scope, and scale of a 550 bed hospital. this was a joint project of cathedral neighbors, cpmc, and the legislative analyst. we surveyed six hospitals,

nationwide. we look at george washington university, children's hospital boston, kaiser permanente l.a., mass harvard in boston, case western university, and another. we found in these hospitals -- four of these benchmarks work -- chairperson mar: please continue with your main point, but then we will have to move on. >> in these hospitals, we found that from 371 to 1052 beds were on a minimum of 10 acres to a the average was 641 beds on 53 acres. this is what it takes to have an urban hospital. are we done? chairperson mar: yes, thank you. i was mistaken.

there is a soft velvet goes off with 30 seconds to go. -- bell that goes off with 30 seconds to go. the louder one means your time is up. >> good afternoon. my name is paul wermer. i have some papers that have been submitted previously to various people, but i would like to submit them again. i am talking specifically to the issues of traffic. i live near the pacific side, and have observed the traffic the traffic in parts for many years. i started negotiating on behalf of local members to address traffic and traffic-related issues. issues like/oxh parking directly contribute to traffic. we submitted a request to mr.

rich regarding the development agreement. we do not really need money. we are asking for something much more difficult. we are asking for the city and cpmc, as part of the development agreement, to commit to a structure that provides structured problem-solving to address parking and traffic problems. i have worked with the pacific site since 2002. we still have the problems commitment and ability to make things happen are slow. this city does not carry its share of the burden on enforcement or other actions. this is important, because it is not just congestion and level of service at intersections. when you have high traffic, when you have congestion, and people are going to the hospital or doctor's office, they are

already stressed. you see a high level of unsafe driving behaviors. you see people pulling out around double parked cars without looking. you see people rushing into across work because -- a crosswalk, because they are late. we do not have a mechanism to deal with that. >> i wish to read a statement into the record. mr. and mrs. fang have owned the building directly across van ness since 1997. it was formerly occupied by circuit city, and has been empty since that bankruptcy three years ago. many of the large storefronts have experienced the same fate. the streets are frequented by homeless drifters, and drug addicts, and graffiti appears nightly.

it is difficult for large formula retail business to get a permit to operate in the city. environmental tape, historical building, and other committees take a minimum of a year to 18 months, not to mention hundreds of thousands of $1 must spend on lawyers, engineers, lobbyists. at least three large retailers consider leasing space, and eventually all dropped out because of time, effort, and unpredictable cost. for some strange reason, the city bent over backwards for the minority groups, mostly retired or unemployed, who had the time to mind -- to complain the loudest. the majority simply do not have time to show up and complain. this is what is happening with the cpmc. we have spoken about the difficulty of doing business in the city. everybody i have spoken to, from the mayor to the building

department, have agreed with us that the city needs to make changes, and yet nothing has changed. it continues to make things difficult for our businesses to survive. the cpmc will revive this neighborhood. it will bring millions of dollars of new money to the city. this will translate to new jobs, but her health care, new businesses, and an opportunity to bring life to a dying neighborhood. it is vital to the future of the city. thank you for supporting it. >> i am representingo francisco neighborhood network, and the tenderloin. when i first learned of this project, i was excited that our neighborhood was going to get a state of the art hospital.

intersections where this already has crushing traffic at rush hours -- geary, van ness, franklin -- these are like freeways. they are freeways. my neighborhood is going to bear an undue burden. when we look at it, we are not going to receive much benefit, other than being let into the emergency room. the tenderloin will not be served by this hospital, which is a luxury hospital. the fact is, there are remedies that could help address these additional 20,000 person-trips per day. actually, it is more like 28,000 person-trips, because the figure did not mention the 8000 troops that were part of the cathedral hill hotel, that were already going there before the hotel was closed.
