item, so we can go on to item number 11. >> one bay area grant program update,g> good morning, again. principal transportation planner for the authority. i have a quick overview of the onebayarea program. we have a detailed outline of the strategy and the funds available and the criteria. i am going to go through how much money is available, what kind of projects can be[=+í fud and, what the schedule is for projects election, and where to get more information. just by way of note, the onebayarea program is for cycle two of the congestion at mitigation program. they are programmed for four

years. mtc has asked that the projects be put forward, between 2013- 2014 and 2015-2016. san francisco stands to get $38.8 million in federal funds. we have broken it up in a draft funding from work. the first crunch is $2.5 million. these are standard funds we have to administer these programs and many others, including the countywide transportation plan. priority development areas, the program coming down from ntc requires that we spend 70% of the funds in priority development areas. so this represents that. we have created safe route to school target. $5 million. we are going to be looking to target this towards

infrastructure portions of safe routes to school projects. this is the target. we hope to get enough projects to use this bit of the remaining amount, the $8 million, can be spent in a non-pda's. i do want to note that with the passage of map 21, the new federal transportation bill, there may be shifts in funding. we do not expect anything too dramatic, but we're still working out what that will mean. but we're not expecting anything to dramatic. what the eligible project types? four main categories. previously, we had three of these categories that would have caps per category. over $38 million, you would have to spend a certain percentage on roads and a certain percentage to transportation to livable communities. now we do not have cabs, so we can spend it all on one program or another. essentially, these are projects

like valencia streetscapes. these are large multi-modal streetscape type projects. this is generally pavement religion -- rehabilitation street resurfacing. the bicycle program is a new program. this is pretty much every bicycle and pedestrian improvement you could think of, from class 1 a through 3 bicycle lanes, by parking's, sidewalks, education, and outreach. this is a very broad category. and the safe route to school program. moving to the schedule. this is an information item today. we will be moving forward to adopt the schedule funding from work and prior to the fishing criteria in september but you can see the cac and the authority board schedule for adopting those items. we release a call for projects immediately$ié& after the adop. then we have applications due

october 26. knowing that they will be very detailed applications, we will probably do a pre-release to allow project sponsors in a little bit of time before hand to start developing those applications. they will change applications of the board changes the criteria. the funding framework will have to be fluid with that. but want to give them enough time to give us complete and detailed applications bu. 30 days will be the official, but we will do a pre-release, and that will probably be sometime in august. we want to give them six weeks to eight weeks. that is generally what we try to do. the screening in prayer decision criteria, i do not have a slight. page 154, we have that detail. the majority is from the ntc guidelines. it is differentiated in your packet. the italicized items are items we added in.

to give you a couple examples, we are explicitly trying to prioritize projects that address multiple modes of travel. we're also prioritizing it safe routes to school projects from documenting walking audits. and we will be prioritizing projects in high risk and high activity pedestrian and bicycle corridors. we want sponsors to hone in on the safety issues and how the projects address those issues, and we would like points to back those up. moving to the second part of the schedules, we will bring through the initial onebayarea project list in the december board cycle. again, you can see the committee's schedule there. i do want to note, as we move to the next slide, we're going to c projects. the first part is to get a

larger than $38 million pool of projects. and we want to move forward with the adoption of that list and possibly some of prop k or other local funds to the four to five months of project development. this would be project specific outreach and cost estimates. things of that nature to add more detail to these projects. if we want to bring them through the federal process, as we have all learned from previous examples would second street and sunset elementary school, we want to make sure we have identified any issues that may be existing as they are moving projects forward. that will be happening between december and april of 2013. end of april, will have the final obag applications do. the main authority board cycle will be cac and then offered the board to adopt, and we have to by june 30, 2013.

the font color was not a great choice. we have a project website. we have a general e-mail for the project and a general phone number. 593-1655. that provides translation services. supervisor kim: i would like to say this is the perfect example of why color matters, going back to another presentation. [laughter] very important. supervisor kim: i was wondering if you schedule the dates when you will present to the pedestrian safety advisory committee and the bicycle advisory committee? >> for pedestrian, i believe that is in september.

and also the bicycle advisory will also probably be in early september. supervisor kim: could you give us the dates? >> yes. >> it has been a long meeting, but the agenda and complement each other. i wantedm" created this as a block grant, there were a lot of strings attached. one of the bonuses is it gives you the flexibility to decide what you want to fund with these projects. the policies and prioritization criteria are up on our website. but if you have a particular type of project that you want to fund, please let us know or let your offices know. the time to do that is now. it could fit in obag or could be prop k or prop aa, it is all the same to us. we have got to get that out. supervisor avalos: thank you. ok, thank you for your presentation.

we can open it up for public comment. any member of the public? seeing none, we will close public comment. this is an information item, so we can go on and to our next item. >> item 12, introduction of new items, information item. conversation around how the city is looking at expanding its accessible traffic stops with audible traffic signals, so i think that will be great to have as a presentation in september. that is a discussion we had earlier today. colleagues, in the other items for introduction? ok. public comment on this item? supervisor olague: i just have an item i would like to maybe request. yesterday, some of u3

in that area would treasure island coming on board, a central corridor, and also with the transit center, so there is a lot of development being proposed, really an intense level of development being proposed in that area. seems to me that there would be some extreme impacts on all of the above. multi-modal or whatever we want to -- however we want to refer to it as did not want to look at parking and parking requirements, you know, that sort of thing. it seems that is obvious to me that there would be cumulative impacts. >> if i may, commissioner olague, there has been, of course, environmental work done on each of those to address those issues. supervisor olague: everything

has been looked at separately? i sort of looked at them as separate projects. >> as you know, there is a requirement that the cumulative impacts are considered as well. some of these things are on similar timelines. others are not. i think that what we may be able to do to highlight the issues that you're talking about -- supervisor olague: how are these issues being mitigated, i guess that is my question. >> we will give a presentation at the next meeting in september or october about the current effort we're doing on the countywide transportation plan, which is a 30-year look precisely. it starts with a fairly close ending target year, and it has a much longer target year. so we can look at those other issues.

there are no secrets there. the information is there, but it is probably good to put it in context. the other thing i would add to that is that in the case of the transbay transit center, for example, the redeveloper area around it or whatever we call it now, post-redevelopment, is still a key to the financing of the project. you know, there is a significant amount of affordable housing that went into the approval of that plan. obviously, it feeds into the viability of the center. so the two things come together. it does not mean there are no consequences or impacts on the ground, they are part of the package. so we should definitely bring that i into context, and we can also talk about treasure island and the other things. supervisor olague: so is this practically speaking? what are the impacts, and what are some of the mitigations#mc proposed?

>> let's try does something together for you. september or october. supervisor avalos: thank you. we will open this item up for public comment, new information items. public comment. we will close this item. general public comment. >> item 13, general public comment. >> good morning again, commissioners. like i told you last month, with van ness brt going forward and the central subway going forward, you have to remember that they are building a station at union square÷/&dy with spur t union square for a light rail system.

we should also read the final report that was published back in 1989, 1990. it is about the final report of the kerry transit task force that i happened to serve on -- the geary transit task force that i happened to serve on. also, the final report that was published in 1995. i know these items -- of these documents are many years old, but they tell you about a light rail system on geary boulevard that the voters voted for back in 1989. you also have to remember, during the short term transit plan during the period, the puc was quoted as saying the only way to alleviate traffic congestion on geary boulevard is an "light railk not a bus rapid transit.

before you consider brt on geary, read those three documents. remember about the central subway at the union square station, and do your homework. you have two months to do it. i do not know when we will be coming before you again for discussion and passage, but you have plenty of time to do it. enjoy the two months off, enjoy the reading. it was good reading for me. commissioner avalos: thank you very much. any other member of the public that would like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. next item please. >> item 14 is adjournment. commissioner avalos: we are adjourned. thank you very much.

>> i would like to bring on stage supervisor scott from district a who is going to do all the honors for us. introduce our special guests. our allies. hi, scott. >> happy pride, everyone.

happy transpride. we're a lot of times we have different opinions and over the course of a year, sometimes we have different perspectives, disagreements, but this is the time of year when we come together as one community so that we can move forward together. and that includes the entire diversity of the we're community. please always know that i will stand with the transcommunity for employment rights, to end health care discrimination against this community and we are going to move forward together. now i have the great honor of introducing someone who i learned politics and how to be an elected official and that is our great snarkts mark lone. he has -- senator, mark leno.

privilege and pleasure working with the transcommunity going back to my days on the board of supervisors when we formed the first transgender civil rights implementation task force from which came the first of its kind local ordinance making sure that there was equal access to the county health plan for our transgender employees of san francisco. when we got to sacramento, one of our first bills was to amend the california fair employment and housing act to include gender identity. so we have had an inclusive employment and housing nondiscrimination act here in california since 2003 and i'm very confident that when we re-elect barack obama and make sure that nancy pelosi is once again speaker of the house of representatives, that we'll have an incruste collusive employment

nondiscrimination act out of washington, d.c. finally. so have a great time this weekend. be safe. be smart. celebrate who we are in every form and every fashion and let me say that our individual and collective voices will not be silent until every human being has his or her life fully respected, dignified and validated, which is every one's birthright. so thank you for coming out this afternoon. now it is my pleasure to introduce the first and the only mayor of san francisco to be at a transmarch rally, not just for his first time, but there hasn't been a june of his administration that he has not been here and i would place a strong bet that there won't be one when we will not be here. please welcome the mayor for the
