acre park plaza and a tip at the end. so, it's quite a large facility. we already talked about the design services. in terms of the budget for the project, it was phase 1 cost $66.31 million. total project is estimated to cost 112 million, but we added a 2 million dollar contingency to manage project risk in the budget analyst report. this slide shows phase 1 ask title 1 and 2 project costs [speaker not understood]. the budget analyst report notes that we have all the appropriations for the project, but 23.78 million. the supplemental before you would make that final appropriation. other sources for the project are varied and it's been great for the port to have support in building this project. we have 58% port sources, 16% a
4:01 pm
passenger facility charge. we've done some work on how much we can charge, reasonably charge our passengers to help us repay the cost of this facility. with the help of san francisco voters in the last clean and save parks bond, 15% of the project supports those park and open spaces. we have a city contribution of 5% and a fema grant paying for 6% of the project. here is the sources and uses which is also outlined in your budget analyst report. 34.7 million sources for 23.7 78 for the cruise ship terminal, 7 million for the northern waterfront historic pier project. the rest were debt issuance and authorization costs. the reallocation is coming from previously authorized bonds, but we didn't use either because the projects were scoped down or we had cost savings. mostly from using our own crews to perform work. so, we're very pleased to be
4:02 pm
able to reallocate existing taxable debt to the northern waterfront pier project. this project is really to help us release the former america's cup site and look to improving and reopening pier 31 which is currently closed to use. these were also private leasing activities. we're looking to [speaker not understood] in the near term. again, support private leasing activities, ensure revenues that are assumed in our five-year financial plan to meet our contributions to capital. and to rehabilitate facilities and generate new revenue. pier 31 is a very promising example for us. as i said, it's closed to use. we've done a lot of investigation and learned we can repair the facility and get it open without triggering a very expensive substructure and seismic work. we're projecting costs of 5.2 million and we're saying that the project with leasing for light industrial will pay back its debt service in year 11,
4:03 pm
debt service and coverage and start to generate positive cash flow to the port. so, we're very excited about the opportunity to save this historic structure. now to the port's ability to look forward as a proposal. right now we have 75.1 1 million in obligations and that's including the soon to be sold cops for 2013 with the proposal we'll have a debt portfolio of about $100 million and 99.4. ~ the city's -- the poc we're proposing will repay approximately 76% of the debt service. so, prior -- in april of 2012 before we started seeing a lot of economic improvement, the port's net revenues were estimated at $17.8 million for bonding capacity of 42.6 million. the recent five-year financial forecast which is showing improvement in the economy and some strength we've had in our
4:04 pm
operating budget show net revenues of 21.2. so, our bonding capacity is growing. after the proposal, the port's contribution not repaid by the pfc will bring down our capacity to 47.6 million which is still healthy for us and will maintain coverage ratios way in excess of our covenant requirement and in excess of our port policy. so we're looking at 2.9 for coverage. so, we're feeling very comfortable that we can afford this proposal. and this estimate doesn't include new revenue from pier 31. so, with that, we'll answer any questions you have. >> okay. thank you, ms. forbes. colleagues, any questions on items 5 and 6? okay, seeing none, can we go to our budget analyst report, mr. rose. >> yes, mr. chairman, members of the committee. on page 13 in table 2 of our report, we have examined the requested $34.7 million and find those expenditures to be reasonable.
4:05 pm
on page 16 of our report, we note that the estimated debt service on the proposed bonds is $1.46 million. that's annual debt service and over the 30-year term of the bonds, the estimated principal is 24.3 million. interest is 18.9 million, nearly 19 million for total debt service of 43 million 2 66,85 4. we recommend that you approve this legislation. >> okay, thank you very much, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions? okay, seeing none, we'll open up to public comment. anybody wish to publicly comment on items 5 or 6? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] >> colleagues, can i have a motion to move these items forward to the full board? so moved by supervisor avalos. we can do so without opposition. [gavel] >> mr. clerk, can you please call item number 7. >> item number 7, resolution authorizing the port to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $250,000 from the california cultural and historical endowment under the california clean water, clean
4:06 pm
air, safe neighborhood parks, and coastal protection act of 2002 for the pier 70 union iron works machine shop stabilization project for the period of june 15, 2013, through december 31, 2014. ~ stabilization project. >> okay, thank you very much. >> [inaudible] the budget manager of the port. again, megan wallace, budget manager of the port. this final item before you is to -- is a resolution to accept and expend a grant of $250,000 from the california cultural heritage endowment. and [speaker not understood] supplement port funds that are necessary to stabilize the union iron work, machine works building at pier 70. and as you may be familiar with pier 70 as well as this building, it's a very historically significant area and, therefore, definitely worthy of the grant funds. as the port is currently
4:07 pm
preparing to go forward to bid out this work, and we're just seeking your approval of the grant to accept and expend the grant. and i the project manager kathleen [speaker not understood] are both here to answer any questions. >> okay, thank you very much. colleagues, any questions? okay, seeing none, much appreciated. we do not have a budget analyst report for this item so we'll open up to public comment. if anybody wish toes comment on item number 7? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] >> colleagues, can i have a motion to move item 7 to the full board? so moved, we can do so without opposition. [gavel] >> mr. clerk, do we have any other items? >> that completes the agenda for today. >> okay, we are adjourned. [gavel] [adjourned]

design of establishment throughout conclusions of potential benefits mta staff responded that they were working closely with the community and that this project was the best method to help the mta confirm it's assumptions to move forward in the best way possible to accommodate the needs of the businesses and the community. item 9. the city passed prop k request unanimously but did have some
4:18 pm
concern regarding the impact project would have. the staff say the studies found was appropriate because of intent of those two streets of high volume of vehicle traffic and would be serving their original attempt. the staff informed the cac that polk street project

seeing especially with wendy tran leaving, i don't see any diversity, anything at all. and that's really disturbing for the city that we live in. so, i just wanted to point that out. >> great point. >> i agree with that fully. >> thank you. so colleagues can we move this forward without objection? thank you. thank you mr. whitney. please call the next item. >> item no. 5. san francisco transportation plan update: core network circulation study recommendations and draft equity analysis information* enclosure 01 enclosure 02 a key component of the san francisco transportation plan sftpp is a financially constrained and one or more "vision" investment scenarios that assume a certain level of new revenues. the scenarios will be designed to respond to current and future transportation needs and to advance the four goal areas of the sftp. in response to authority board and stakeholder input, the scenarios will also be designed to address geographic and socioeconomic inequities in transportation system conditions. at the may plans and programs committee meeting, we will present the findings of the core network circulation study and a draft equity analysis. the core study was designed to recommend circulation and demand management strategies for san francisco's "core network" of streets in response to the cumulative effects of the many land use and transportation projects proposed for the core over the next 25 years. the
4:25 pm
core refers to the downtown, south of market, and mission bay areas. based on the microsimulation analysis conducted in the study's first phase, we sought to identify additional interventions in the core network that would reduce vehicle miles travelled vmtt in the study area by at least 28 a "baseline prime" scenario. the study looked at a range of different strategies' contributions to the reduction in core network traffic e.g., grouped in three categories: making better use of the grid; using price to manage demand; and rationalizing regional accesss. we will present core study recommendations and how they may be incorporated into the financially constrained and "vision" investment scenarios. we will also present the results of the draft equity analysis which looks at both geographic and socioeconomic equity of existing and future baseline transportation system conditions. the equity analysis findings will also be considered in development of the financially constrained and "vision" investment scenarios. more information on the sftp is available on the authority's website at www.movesmartsf.com. we are seeking input and guidance from the plans and programs committee. this is >> item no. 5. sf 54 >> this is an information item. >> good morning principle transportation planner. this is an update of the san francisco transportation plan activities that have been upside way over the last month. two parts, miss risen will present the second part. this is a brief summary of the quit -- equity draft analysis of distribution of performance as well as geographic distribution of transportation conditions and it's looking right now just at the existing conditioning and the future 2040 conditions that we have projected if we don't make any additional investment. the purpose of this analysis is to help support the development of the sf t p investment scenarios. there are particular performance issues that are concentrated in communities of concern or in parts certain neighborhoods of san francisco that would suggest we should direct investments of one kind or another in those places. i do want to note this methodology is specifically written to address concern and
4:26 pm
questions that our community advisory committee has had. it's not title six analysis. this is a requirement of the fta federal transit administration to have a title six analysis but with a different methodology. the way we have gone about looking at the way that transportation performance issues affect communities of concern disproportionately to use a definition and a method that is consistent with the region. so the metropolitan transportation commission is the gray shaded neighborhood that you see on this map. this designation is used to help prioritize funding particularly lifeline transportation programs, planning funds and capital funds and the mtc went through
4:27 pm
a very extensive process to define these. we are being consistent with them. i can explain more about the methodology of how these are defined but there is a long list of criteria and these neighborhoods to be designated as a coc needs to have certain so-called degrees of disadvantaged. that is having zero car households, having a concentration of racial or ethnic minorities, having low income household and so forth. so what we've done to look at geographic and socioeconomic equity is take several transportation performance measures. and in this map what is being mapped here is transfer rate, that is how many transit transfers riders need to make where they are going. we breakdown that data into
4:28 pm
groups of 20 percent. so we i have the worst 20 percent that is 20 percent of the city that has to make the most transfers to get where they are going and the best 20 percent so parts of the cities that need to make the fewest transfers where they are going and we map that and calculate whether the worst or best 20 percent of performance is concentrated either in a particular neighborhood or in these communities of concern. that's how we try to identify whether there is a potential area that should get special attention because they are disproportionately experiencing worse conditions. so a quick overview of some of the things we found. we have three different lenses that we look at this. the first is safety measures and we looked at pedestrian safety, both the
4:29 pm
absolute volumes of collisions and collision race and bicycle collusion and air quality pollutants. this is where we find that community's concern is experiencing some of these safety issues, pedestrian collisions, higher rate of pedestrian collision and there is certainly geographic patterns to collisions as well. so some neighborhoods of san francisco safety problems are concentrated in neighborhoods in san francisco and here is an example. the total number of pedestrian collisions is mapped here and the worst 20 percent of zones are in the dark red and 20 percent are in the yellow and downtown shows a concentration of pedestrian
4:30 pm
collisions. then when you look at the rate or the risk for pedestrian collision the picture changes and the sunset and outer part of san francisco has the greatest risk for pedestrian injury. and so what this kind of thing they can do is help inform sftp scenarios to address some of these issues. the second category of performance measures that we looked at have to do with network quality. and here we do find patterns geographically but not necessarily concentrations that might be inequitable. some of the concentrations say in access to regional transit have to do with density
