>> thank you for your presentation very good. >> i'll start. that's a thank you. this is incredible interesting. it feels to three and four like this is something pretty new the city taking an entire area and really documenting out all the changes that are planned up to thirty years out and really addressing it bit by bit. this is the first time we've done something like that isn't it? >> i'd like to point to a study that looked san francisco state and looked potential for what is the shopping center. what's interested about that the san francisco master plan we're

tracking them and taking the 19 accounting corridor study and interesting san francisco state as that on yes, i do up $30,000 just to show how interested they were. when they think they're actually getting the transportation planning before their needing it they're interested in writing a 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. >> 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 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 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 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 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 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 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? >> we're adjourned.

>> what if you could make a memorial that is more about information and you are never fixed and it can go wherever it wants to go? everyone who has donated to it could use it, host it, share it. >> for quite a great deal of team she was hired in 2005, she struggled with finding the correct and appropriate visual expression. >> it was a bench at one point. it was a darkened room at another point.

but the theme always was a theme of how do we call people's attention to the issue of speci species extinction. >> many exhibits do make long detailed explanations about species decline and biology of birds and that is very useful for lots of purposes. but i think it is also important to try to pull at the strings inside people. >> missing is not just about specific extinct or endangered species. it is about absence and a more fundamental level of not knowing what we are losing and we need to link species loss to habitat loss and really focuses much on the habitat. >> of course the overall mission of the academy has to do with two really fundamental and important questions.

one of which is the nature of life. how did we get here? the second is the challenge of sustainability. if we are here how are we going to find a way to stay? these questions resonated very strongly with maya. >> on average a species disappears every 20 minutes. this is the only media work that i have done. i might never do another one because i'm not a media artist per se but i have used the medium because it seemed to be the one that could allow me to convey the sounds and images here. memorials to me are different from artworks. they are artistic, but memorials have a function. >> it is a beautiful scupltural

objective made with bronze and lined with red wood from water tanks in clear lake. that is the scupltural form that gives expression to maya's project. if you think about a cone or a bull horn, they are used to get the attention of the crowd, often to communicate an important message. this project has a very important message and it is about our earth and what we are losing and what we are missing and what we don't even know is gone. >> so, what is missing is starting with an idea of loss, but in a funny way the shape of this cone is, whether you want to call it like the r.c.a. victor dog, it is listen to the earth and what if we could create a portal that could look at the past, the present and the future? >> you can change what is then missing by changing the software, by changing what is projected and missing. so, missing isn't a static installation. it is an installation that is

going to grow and change over time. and she has worked to bring all of this information together from laboratory after laboratory including, fortunately, our great fwroup of researche e-- g researchers at the california academy. >> this couldn't have been more site specific to this place and we think just visually in terms of its scupltural form it really holds its own against the architectural largest and grandeur of the building. it is an unusual compelling object. we think it will draw people out on the terrace, they will see the big cone and say what is that. then as they approach the cone tell hear these very unusual sounds that were obtained from the cornell orinthology lab. >> we have the largest recording of birds, mammals, frogs and insects and a huge library of videos. so this is an absolutely perfect

opportunity for us to team up with a world renown, very creative inspirational artist and put the sounds and sights of the animals that we study into a brand-new context, a context that really allows people to appreciate an esthetic way of the idea that we might live in the world without these sounds or sites. >> in the scientific realm it is shifting baselines. we get used to less and less, diminished expectations of what it was. >> when i came along lobsters six feet long and oysters 12 inches within they days all the oyster beds in new york, manhattan, the harbor would clean the water. so, just getting people to wake up to what was just literally there 200 years ago, 150 years ago. you see the object and say what is that. you come out and hear these

intriguing sounds, sounds like i have never heard in my life. and then you step closer and you almost have a very intimate experience. >> we could link to different institutions around the globe, maybe one per continent, maybe two or three in this country, then once they are all networked, they begin to communicate with one another and share information. in 2010 the website will launch, but it will be what you would call an informational website and then we are going to try to, by 2011, invite people to add a memory. so in a funny way the member rely grows and there is something organic about how this memorial begins to have legs so to speak. so we don't know quite where it will go but i promise to keep on it 10 years. my goal is to raise awareness and then either protect forests from being cut down or reforest in ways that promote

biodiversity. >> biodiverse city often argued to be important for the world's human populations because all of the medicinal plants and uses that we can put to it and fiber that it gives us and food that it gives us. while these are vital and important and worth literally hundreds of billions of dollars, the part that we also have to be able to communicate is the more spiritual sense of how important it is that we get to live side by side with all of these forms that have three billion years of history behind them and how tragic it would be not commercially and not in a utilitarian way but an emotio l emotional, psychological, spiritual way if we watch them one by one disappear. >> this is sort of a merger between art and science and advocacy in a funny way getting people to wake unand realize what is going on -- wake up and

realize what is going on. so it is a memborial trying to get us to interpret history and look to the past. they have always been about lacking at the past so we proceed forward and maybe don't commit the same mistakes. do you like this top? that's so gay. really? yeah. it's totally gay. you know, you really shouldn't say that.

say what? well, say that something is "gay" when you mean it's bad. it's insulting. what if every time something was bad, everybody said, "ugh. that's so girl wearing a skirt as a top." oh. you are. ha ha. shut up. those are cute jeans, though. before, addiction and depression kept me from living my life. and now, every step i take in recovery benefits everyone. there are many options that make the road to recovery more accessible. it begins with the first step. join the voices for recovery. for information and treatment referral for you or someone you love, call 1-800-662-help. brought to you by the u.s. department of health and human services.
