bonds in 2008 and this shows park projects that are receiving bond from that issue. and you'll see on the map the completed pier 43 the gate way and the under construction project that were in the orange is the site for the 2012 parks bond investment. and the northeast plaza you've haired about and the 27 and 29 pier and pier 70 port. this graphic really shows that the next time of the open space are continuance along the

waterfront. we're very grateful to the voters. so the purpose of this item today is to get your first look at this allocation of the proposal. specifically we're looking for a 29 tip. and $600,000 to the creek improvements for a total of 18.2 million. and this is over the two years. the slate of bond projects that we will accomplish through this go bond is approximately over 5 years beginning earlier this year and concluding with the last park close out at 2017.

there's quite a bit of information in the park project. the total cost is 17 million and 14 million arrested spent for the planning. the design is scheduled for completion in 2014. for the park in this pier could include the machine shop court yard. we're looking for the piers that benefit the community and we estimate points completion in january 2017.

$600,000 for this sale of creek improvements. the project we estimate will be applied in 2017. so in summary staff has completed a plan to get the open spaces and building on the work that has already gone and/or and we're looking to sell 18.2 million in the first bond sale. and a tip at 2729 and we'll return to you in the future for the next bond sale and the open plays projects. we have staff here david and dean i believe he's still here and they can answer any questions about this project. thank you for your consideration >> is there a motion?

>> motion to accept. >> i'm actually pleased to see that looks like almost everything will be done in the next 2 to 5 years that's tremendously excited that's a rapid turn around. going back to phase two i wonder in you could articulate a little bit more about the projects in phase two and if there's any funding coming in prior to the issuance of bonds or is that

subsequent to the bond sale in >> we're looking for community planning project to see how best to direct those dollars for crime scene cove park and pier 40 park and the blue greenway and park improvements and dave can answer many more questions about those specific project. we don't need the fund today but i'm going to ask david to answer the questions >> and more about the timing. >> david with the planning and development. you'll see in the first issuance there's planning money in plays

for the pier 70 other than crane park. that will allow t us to continue with the design work. in addition there's design work for creek improvements which again is initiating the design plans and next it the design and policewomen's of those projects. this park is linked to the mission bay and we want to make certain we don't start that without understanding what the bay shore park is going to look like. and the green water cove park we thought we can benefit when we see how the other neighborhoods park looks like. $8 million for the other park

we're using the $8 million that goes toward the construction of the project >> and the city is very willing to entertain earlier bond sales or we could link up with another department 7-eleven market e selling bond if we advance those projects. we never want to sell the bond before we get the promise we don't want to over sell >> that make sense. i'm still hoping i'll see a dog park show up at the creek cove. i know we ail - ail went

>> on december 28, 1912. san francisco mayor, sonny jim rolph stared into the crowds of those who have gathered. a moment in history. the birth of a publicly own transit system. san francisco municipal railway. muni as it would become to be known. happy birthday, muni, here is to the next 100 years. the birth of muni had been a long-time coming. over the years the city was disjointed privately owned

companies. horses and steam and electric-powered vehicles. creating a hodgepodge of transit options. none of them particularly satisfying to city residents. the city transit system like the city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake. the transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth, ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people.

owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28, 1912, mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's

network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928, the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer san francisco's hills. after the war most of the street-car lines would be replaced with motor or trolley

bus service. in 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. and it appeared that san francisco's iconic cable cars had seen their final days. entered mrs. cluskin, the leader to save the cable cars. arguing that the cable cars were a symbol of the city, and she entered a charter placed on the november ballot. it passed overwhelmly. the california street cable railway was purchased by the city in 1952. there were cut backs on the cable car system and in 1957 only three lines would remain. the three lines that exist today. in 1964 the cable car's future

as part of california's transit system was sealed when it was proclaimed a national historic landmark. in february, 1980, muni metro were officially inaugurated. in that same year, muni received its first fleet of buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. in 1982 when the cable car had a shut-down, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. the festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent f-line that would extend all the way to

fisherman's wharf, by 2000 the f-line was in place. and in 2007 muni extended the third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. for the first time in 60 years. in the course of last 100 years, muni's diverse workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city. muni's ground-breaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. the city's policy mandates the course for the future, as they work diligently to increase options and increase multialternatives, and deduce --

reduce the carbon footprint. it continues to improve the systems. during this sen -- centennial year we reflect on the transit system. driven not the meeting will now come to order. welcome to the regular meeting of the transportation authority finances committee. i'm chair of this committee. to my left is tang and chiu and to my right is commissioner wiener and and the clerk of the committee is erica chang as well as jessie lars son for

broadcasting this meeting. madam clerk please call item 2. >> an action item. >> thank you. are there any members of the public that would like to speak on the item, if so please come forward. seeing there is no one interested on speaking on public comment. is there a motion to approve item 2? thank you. this we go. $2? thank you. this we go. madam clerk please read item 3. i'm here to report on how things are going with the legislature. i have a couple things that i want to alert you to the edition of the matrix and i want to cover those first. also it's appropriate to take stock

on what's happened to the legislation. i will quickly cover that. first the changes to the matrix on page 4 we've added ab 41 from san mateo, a new taxing authority to fund opportunities, authorizes sales tax to be voted upon within that mpo region. we are recommending a watch and we'll know better how it looks like it's going to go. this bill has bounced from natural resources to rules committee to local government. so it's been a bouncing bauchl -- ball. it's on a matrix and we'll be watching it and if it comes back stronger at a later day. we recommending deletion ab 680

had been a spot measure and amended recently to apply a state route which has no applicability to san francisco bay area for your policy so we are recommending taking it off the matrix. a recent amended measure is being recommend today add ab 738 on page 7 of the matrix. it tends to provide a liability shield for employees of agencies that are developing bike plans. it sounds like a much needed simplification. we need to take a look at the bill at more depth to see how it fares in its first committee and finally as a watch position we are recommending the addition of sb 792 by senator son ya. this

provides a new region natural plan by the joint counsel it in the san francisco region trying to drive consolidation of planning functions amongst m t c. for your information, mtc has recommended a watch at this point and prefer to work with the author. this is several years running and he's tried to force more collaboration between the entities in this region. that bill is set for hearing next week and we are recommending a watch. that's it for the additions and changes to the matrix. to give you an update on the carl moir program has some funding for your high speed rail program and there are 2 measures that are identical that is to extend the fees of the carl moir program

as well as other fuel filter programs. the first measure ab 8, it passed out of the public transportation committee last night. it's companions or look alike sb 11, did pass last week and it set for a hearing this afternoon. it's been a tough push in the senate. there is a lot of concerns raised by the senate analysis but i think it will pass today based on the vote count that we've been putting together. several bills to note. a b 164 adds performance bonds for local private partnership. you will impose that because it will increase the cost unnecessarily. it has not been set yet and it is a referred to

the assembly local government committee. they are sort of running out of time for action this year but we'll be monitoring that in case it does get set. mr. blooming field on page four of your matrix extends hov access for green and white sticker plug in hybrids and electric vehicles to 2025. that's viewed as an over reach and as well by doing so, it allows or extends the ability of these same vehicles to have toll free access and certain quarters in the state. that bill is set for hearing next week. i'm not sure how that's going to fair, but we are working on that ab 749 by mr. guerrero is on page 7. in the p 3 framework that the doil

drive project went through, it had to go through public service venture entity that belongs to the transportation secretary and this bill does a lot of things to modernize the p 3 loft, it also provides pie yack this new entity with more members and the ability to kill a project rather than waiting for transportation commission. that was the basis for opposing it. they have run into troubles in our opposition and are not accepting amendments yet so we'll see how they fair next week. we have a limit high rail bonds to those already been sold basically killing off the high rail project. that bill passed last night in assembly transportation committee. i think it may have gotten one courtesy vote and another

measure that you took opposed poings on page 8 of the matrix. this will take the map 1 authority that was approved last summer to allow delegation to be extend today -- to cal trans for transit projects. it seems like a misfit to have cal trans doing local agency transit project, meet the clearance. therefore you opposed. when i checked with the office yesterday, they indicated they will put the bill over until next year. they just run into too much opposition. one area of interest where the three measures where you took a support position that reduced the threshold, these will be constitutional amendments and go straight to the ballot. sca

11, the first 2 deal with transportation and includes sales taxes, the 3rd one only applies to special taxes which allows special tax for transportation to be included but it's a broader net in terms of it's authority to do a threshold. all of those are scheduled to be heard with several other measures to deal with other policy areas for senate government and finances committee on may 5th. i had a conversation with the protem's office and we may see these bills move to keep them alive and in position from a deadline perspective, but he does not expect any of these voter threshold bills to be adopted year and anticipates if any due it will be in 2014. that's my report.

>> are there any questions, colleagues? any member of the public who would like to speak on this matter? all right. seeing there is no one from the public and seeing there is none from colleagues, we close this. are there any questions? all right. we have a motion? thank you very much. motion made by commissioner chiu without objection. madam clerk please read item no. 4. >> reading no. 4. an action item. >> very much. good morning commissioners. this item is to recommend a planning services a board to parsons in terms of the treasure island mobility study. this st you had is per

our agreement with the treasure island authority. we have an agreement with tita to support the treasure island transportation plan. the treasure island of transportation plan includes a very innovative program for making transportation sustainable as the island develops and focused on parking pricing and congestion and to mitigate any impact on the bridge and provides a program for transit and other management techniques to help improve non-automobility to the island. this time what is needed is planning work to complete the preimplementation, activities in support of the pricing program. so
