9:30 am
check. this is not just one project by one project but all 3. >> i really do understand how for this will be for the velocities to have this demonstrate define ahead of time before they even break ground. could you just touch briefly what the benefit is to the people who don't see as much in the development as they're worried about accident effects that that development is bringing and this is really helping us to get ahead thought possible congestion in that area. and it's not only going to speed up the process for developers but then speeds i think the help we offer to our pedestrians and
9:31 am
your - bicycles. and if the classic way to do planning is wait until the 11th hour and have the department say oh, mta you're supposed look at it ahead of time and gives all the detailed. let's go beyond san francisco and to do as much work as with the regional people and before the e i r and before you start
9:32 am
sharping your pencils i will work with who've i need to so the e i r didn't propose more than they think they can. if the mitigates measure is something that works it is something through our tracking planning that helps us to build an implementation of transportation improvements but as development warrants. >> if i could add first of all, those projects on their own are they as jennifer said their public - private developments. is it because the city sees tremendous values to the city and i'm sure if you were
9:33 am
interested jennifer could speak for largely to the benefits of the project. as she mentioned those study areas that don't work today for the people who live in mission bay particularly in the south beach area people who are trying to use another way. this is making sure that the new demands won't bring negative aspects to the community but it's vance new projects that are going to make the whole transportation syndrome the area work better. it's not just the - at any time to improve the whole transportation mode in this area
9:34 am
to make it work in a faster way. so there's benefit that enables the promise to work well, it's a win win approach between peter and michael and jennifer and aaron and carly and all the folks behind this you can see from the presentation it's pretty complex stiff. >> i want to say the light bulb moments that i got is one when i think about the sibling way providing underground link to peel street when you think about
9:35 am
all the congestion that all the commuters are experiencing coming out of the city if you could get those folks out of streetcar muni and other modes and start training people to see that route as a quick route to california trance that's a quick win. this subway is sdoeltd open in 20018 and the arena project is to open in late 2017. you may need to create something to develop that to get users to use that - and you're also
9:36 am
reducing this traffic along that area when the new arena is present. another is we're talking about the other parking strategy we can now start talking to the giants around the bundling ticket sales with parking and the potential to sort of get people - if you're coming out of the north you come from the north if you come from the south you park to the south and you take one the petty kabdz. there's also the giant are already working on bundling parking sales. we can partner with them and see if they work. >> that's all no more questions. >> thank you for the expensive
9:37 am
presentation. i really appreciate the forethought that's going on this. i want to highlight i didn't side mentioned in your presentation yet was the - as part of the t d m strategies and i'm sure you've thought about that but make sure there was a streaming to incorporate car share and can you remember share pods. i'd like love to see a car share pod on every block but for further opportunity i'm sure you've thought about that and you'll include that. the other thing i want to stress a to make sure your thinking about bicycle parking in the long-term. we've got the bicycle sharing i've thought of but i would
9:38 am
suggest anywhere you've got that opportunity you've got to need for bicycle parking international. today, i rode my bible and had to park away over here and walkway over there. particularly with respect to the opportunity to leverage the private public partnerships that you've thought about. great work >> again thank you very much. when you use the a team word you, your exactly right. i appreciate the creativity. >> there is one member of the public to comment here.
9:39 am
>> good afternoon. >> good afternoon directors. i am a member of the mta and i'm also the executive committee a member. i'm here speaking on my own. first of all, i want to tell you that the warriors have cite against the location. there's american people inadequate transportation and it's not an appropriate use for march time space. every one of these 3 projects is in ground level for sea level wise. according to b cdc risk assessments must be based on on
9:40 am
the best estimates of seawater rise and they rang from 10 to 69 inches currently provided the bets seawall protection for the west coast. and thus depending upon how quickly the greenland and ice kapdz metal. look at this i don't know if we can see - if you can look you can see that ail these projects are going to be underwater thank you end of the century that's the prediction and then the warriors. this is the b cdc map that's maybe a little bit better. but i do encourage you to go to
9:41 am
b cdc web site. those projects every one of them needs to be reassessed. >> good afternoon i'm a planning director. i first of all, want to commend peter for this really comprehensive look at the waterfront. i really also want to commend the mta and peter and think brilliant execution of the pilot projects during the last year's pilot cups. standing up there for two hours helped me to see that the
9:42 am
project was very worthwhile. we would encourage to you expand that upon the pilots this year. and as well as extending this facility all the way down to california trains. and it's exciting to think about the challenges that folks who are waking, biking and wheeling for folks who are facing this challenge on the waterfront. we'll love to partner with you all on those projects and lately i know a lot of tension that's being reached around the green bay. and everyone who lives close to
9:43 am
the waterfront should be able to reach all those water front area. >> anyone else care to address the board on this topic. >> he this is a very specific question thinking about far in advance by it may prompt some other ideas. when the central subway it completed there will be a new assess way to the ballpark. and if they want to take muni service they can take 80 it down to the ballpark. but this isn't something that needs to be answered now but maybe in the next few months for blah is going to be the route
9:44 am
for our special service for basketball and baseball games were are we going to use the existing loop for expanded service are we going to utilize both? a >> once to not once the subway is running it won't go down to the - this area. >> we'll enhance both the m and the t we'll have both the services running. when we did the pilot of the eileen which was a time that we
9:45 am
were pleased to find out that a lot of folks were using this e line service to get down to the park. we expect that a lot of the folks coming up here the walk is equivalent frays the bark station to the arena. the balance that would largely be picked up by the - as it is today by the ballpark. those are exactly the kinds of things that the transportation assessment is working to develop >> anything else? >> item 12 is to conduct a closed session. >> move not to have one and any discussion on that?
9:47 am
uncontrolled music. without format. pretty simple affair. pancakes, and you're -- people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. should not be too hard to walk into place. have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. improvisation. listening or not to the person you're playing up against or people or machines. trying to get as many different people in as possible. different genres,
9:48 am
experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001. god-waffle noise, noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up
9:49 am
and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to music at all. guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires.
9:50 am
and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york,
9:51 am
i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible. i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it. it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine.

>> i have 2 job titles. i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. this building is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of san francisco in 1912. he didn't have a city hall

because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915, the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual.

>> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the united states capital. >> you could spend days going around the building and finding something new. the embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that san francisco is famous for. >> the wood you see in the board of supervisor's chambers
9:55 am
is oak and all hand carved on site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the seceiling you would believe that's hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. and what happened was the person working next to the other person
