that. it goes back to the time before the plan was adopted and certainly predates me. when i arrived 5 years ago i was part of the jury that reviewed the lots 37. so there's been a long time of planning and it's been almost as if we have a one time plan. but starting about the time that it was adopted and city agencies began the series of eastern he neighborhood plan, which included 4 areas. it was to accommodate growth near trait and in higher decent neighborhoods. someway simultaneously we recall

developing plans that had been adopted a few years earlier. you're looking at an entire quadrant of the city that stipends to the waterfront. even the upland plans establishes policies and procedures for the corrections first year the eastern plan established the context for planning at pier 40. it was not formally looked at but it has the open space planning and the restoration of the shipping destroy. those are on the waterfront and it focuses on the attendance to

the water and a consistent with the wftd plan and focuses on better connections between the neighborhoods and waterfront. most popular it's not just about connecting to the waterfront by extending the neighborhoods. it's on the recent development projects is to create a better seamless transition. it's important to mention that the work about designing components of the water. diane mentioned the waterfront design advisory committee which was set up by legislation in 20098 a year after the plan was adopted and that's a form body it takes care of the waterfront projects. but it's important to mention

another project that and that will extend the waterfront area. so it has a region and local context. navigate our public collaboration goes further such as a jefferson street and finishes man's what have was led in collaboration by the port. given the nature for recreational growth and the transportation needs we're working not only with the mta and dp w to include the transportation services for how we assess the waterfront in the surrounding areas and peter will talk about that in a second. so quickly what are the lessons of the work and where we are headed. we know that the waterfront are

going to offer more opportunity for public and recreation that takes care of the neighborhood needs. it takes care of the authentic care of the waterfront. it was a blue print integrated with transportation oriented neighborhood needs and helps us to accept some of the recreational growth. now we're going to work on the implementation. we're dealing with a large number of those sites and all at the same time. all sites carry out goals for the expletive mix of ice and protecting maritime destroy and extending the neighborhoods to the water. since the rehabilitate of pier

one and the ferry building on the national register the port has made strides in rehabilitating it's resources. the plan and assess element and the b cbc plan together provided an area that is important. and the context of sea level rise after the america's cup is complete. in terms of overall lessons those are lessons of the plan 127b9d public engagement and it's going to last throughout the project. we've learned that the public expects excellence on the waterfront xylophones. our partners are selected through a fair public ocess.

that b cdc have to be an integral part of this process. and especially, when you're looking at major industries like at pier 70 it's important. the public is increasingly enjoying the project. and we've learned that the design uses can connect the neighborhoods to the waterfront. neck steps we're working together with those promotions and there's a high number of them at the same time. we're trying to implement the land use plan and the other neighborhoods plan. to meet the goals we're looking at potential zoning changes and

probably tweaks to the waterfront designing pr we think that some of those changes are likely justified and those sites play an important part in reaching our targets. we still doesn't add up to all the targets so we need to accommodate the growth. i want to close by thanking the staff for the great collaboration over the years and the port and planning commission for recognizing the importance of this waterfront project. i'll turn it over to peter to talk about the transportation >> thank you.

>> good afternoon president fong peter. this is the second time i believe i've come to you and given i an update on the waterfront assessment. i appreciate having the concoction that was given are the transportation doesn't work in the isolation of any project. so if i could have the computer i'm walk quickly through our update. when i last talked to you about the statement it was an idea it was something that was going to help people understand ahead of those big challenges inland use that was coming down.

we since have drafted the promise. i'd like to go through those slides and how to make sense of those and if i walk awe >> jerry: u away from here letting you know what are the next steps i'm being successive. it's complicated. we were talking about it being the area inside that box and we recognize that all the way up to the fisherman's what have the waterfront is the waterfront. and the essential waterfront effects businesses all the way to the perimeters. we're blowing this boundary because we want to make sure that what effects the system is being recognized by 0 people who are all along the waterfront. but the focus is where the major

things are happening like pier 70. this diagrams are to emphasize and the main goal is to get ahead of this year that the darker the red color the more difficult. here's a snapshot of would 20/20 looked like. so in 20 years i think this is what it looks like. the first phase is to come up with transportation goals and strategies and the importance is we're working with the goals and strategies to the agencies that are responsible have said, yes your assumptions of capacities

are correct whether it's the traffic engineers or the other folks they've helped us shape the golden strategies. and the second part of it is when is eirs kick in and putting them through the models that the eirs will crank on and which this is bigger than one change it's how it effects the whole waterfront. the goals and straengz you've probably seep this before we're continuing to take control of what's in the pipeline. the left-hand side were the major projects that were coming along in the phrases and up to 20040. the point is that list is changing and we work closely

with the staff to make sure that when the projects are submitted. on the right side are the transportation projects. so there's a host of projects coming online. are they coming on together are they coordinated. so the second part of this phase is to get the community workshops session. those are graphics to show as we get in we track it with the suggestion. friends this is not really readable but down to the 22 fillmore a whole series of comments coming and how important it is to the waterfront we can see the same for parking. the third part of it after

understanding the pipeline and making sure we're getting friend of mine is looking at the america's cup. we need to pay attention to all the special programs like argue special events team. and we want to a make sure that at the end of the day we've got parking and a lot of coordination. it's the waterfront so, of course, this is very important. the way we did the people plan was the development a strategy ahead of the eir and boy that paid off in dividends. we scoped this out before the eir had finished the certification process. we've developed the golden strategies as and the director

said we've got generations of plans in our books. we build on what the past generation has done to help us what the future. this color coded diagram is saying that whether or not it's the strategic plan or any one of the area plans or the commerce and industry those r relevant. we're analyzing those goals and objectives because here we are in 2012 with a whole new range of projects. i'll wake quickly through those that are those are in the pipeline because their informed but he america's cup experience. so right away right now we've

had a lot of meetings and we've started to prepare a progress report series so people participating with us whether or not we have the right streams we want to come back this summer and reflect on what when we have heard. this will be final listed and we want to make sure that people tracking this can go online and see the process so they can see how comments are shaping the plan. this is the second plan. the stream here is to get to the solutions to make a difference in and keep on track. we're going to use this diagram. is the waterfront is the whether i circle in the middle. the error right now points to

all the workshops we're having like the warriors subcommittee. we look at the other groups to make sure we're getting input and, of course, impaneled in the waterfront project not only the giants or the warriors but it's the 1r0e6789 agreements and the environmental assessment itself because from those communities meetings is outreach. that goes back to the project sponsor may rktsz the best ideas and strategy and the community feedback through the development agreements so some aspects for example, of the warriors comments reflect what the community upstairs. there's a host of other smaller

details but when the environmental review comes along there that might be mitigation standards and they might not all right. looked in the rough. and then let's say that project moves forward we get more sophisticated agreement and the waterfront that is that much smarter because we've learned every step of the way. this will a lot of you slides but they go quick. if i may go too fast but the station is up against at any time capacity limits. we're looking at short term and long term fixes to give

important capacity so it doesn't have to shut down. we're also looking at cal train and look at the electrician faster and to look at 22nd street and it's not that easily assessable so there's capital improvements there. we could use the water more creatively to make sure we're looking at other ferry terms and using the buses so they're not actually going from san francisco to other areas but they're able to pick up passengers from presidio to downtown. in the muni world we have tracks in place and bypass tracks to

allow the streetcars to move better. and the mission bay area to the waterfront uses the water loop and who helps us build it and that allows the e line. looking at the major line from admission bart mission district to the waterfront. that's been the books but we're findings a way to put in a hard shuttle and looking at the other designations pier 70 on the 58 and 33 and schultz that help you to get to the western end. bicycle and pedestrian network we've been working with a better

bike facility and popular that will help separate pedestrians and bicyclists. so if it only does that p that will avoid the conflicts because their laud to mingle on the sidewalk pr and we want to expand this into the additional bike share stations. and looking at the pedestrian improvement this is a diagram to show there's a lot of new areas around the bay bridge and how the gridlock is happening. the parking for special events there's a lot of room for improvement how we handle the crowds at giants and warriors game. and think of this special events

team making a difference we have a lot of cul de sacs and so we can easy the local traffics so people can get out of their garages so we're working with the traffic engineers and then parking. so much much we can do with parking. there's a lot of garages that sit empty and they're not available to the public after dark their creating a blockage age. so therefore we can eliminate congestion but making sure the special events folks encourage those garages to be used by

stopping the xhenls. there's a real willing to work on that. that is actually people's homes as well as the recreation designation speaker we've heard a lot of criticism. the last slides they're talking about other aspects of transportation. we've worked with taxis and those are special needs that they need to get to the customers. and then to make sure in the final development we build state of anger facilities from scratch. that you can do. the last slide is in addition to all those programs they help folks use the best choices and make it more the regular way and that's working with the teams

like looking at tickets for transportation rides and this is part of the project and from that i'm going to stop because you can see for each slide there's a half an hour of conversation. >> thank you any public comment on those two combined items? >> sue herself take care. i wasn't here when the bureau ton act was passed but i was here a year afterwards. we had a lot of planning on the waterfront. the - and part of it is you're planning. the planning department inherited all the redevelopment areas he south of marketed they

were redevelopment up until then and i did the eastern plant. i set zoning controls for it. one of the things i have understood and it was slowly coming to me is that every single plan was in isolation of sea level rise. the waterfront plan in 1997 planning for the basketball park. i was dealing with the sea level rise and that included sewer. so we have a lot of work to do to catch with this. no one is talking about the big issue. is the bureau ton act currently useful the most useful thing. it propels the port to rebuild all the piers along the

waterfront. and the port has visited in it. i have had a variety of confidence in the past couple of months with councilmembers in east paling wall and redwood city with civilians and people are struggling in the rest of the bay with reinstating marshall's san mateo county and santa clara county and the counties north of us. san francisco was the only one that had the most intense development down to the waterfront. no one else has to a sort it out we're not goes to o going to

sort it anti. there's a lot of projects coming out south of the bay bridge. i'm suggesting that the planning commission needs to a you have the latest area plan. how well, does it talk about the development in west beach. it doesn't matter whether the redevelopment is now your jurisdiction. we have a to have a new conversation and what part of that does the bureau ton act have to do with that >> any additional public comment? public comment is closed. >> thank you for an excellent presentation. i have a couple of questions and comments first for director ram. i get a lot of questions from the public as we hear about all

the different developments we've spoken about for the plans for the waterfront which is largely orange on part lands. i guess i don't need an answer right this moment by the roles of varies groups in the planning and entitlement processes that being the port commission b cdc and the port and planning commission. you know, we see this but it's ocher a little bit confusing which approvals will be from would agencies. that maybe an answer for anot r another. >> the planning commission has to certify it and, yes the port commission approves the projects. you'll also have to make recommendations on those are

approved by the board of directors. there are a lot of other agencies that have to be involved >> that's a good overview. peter i think we've talked about this before but i really enjoyed our presentation and we all want to try to get as many people on foot or non-automotive transportation once they're in the city and even persuade people to take public transit, however, in realistic terms there will be other people who will drive in from the east bay. i'm sure you've examined this as

having another off-ramp one sweeps underneath the braij bridge and brings traffic back to folsom street if they take the right option or straight on the fremont street. there's on ramp off of bryant and a lot of people take that. but there's an opportunity to build another link off that off-ramp and instead of having everyone going off harrison street they could go bryant and this is not uses forestorage of cal tarantula equipment. presumably it's land owned by caltrans i'm not sure but that would be an excellent place to

put a facility and people can wake or take other transportation from there. given the fact we build temporary ramps for the bay bridge in a period of a few months this could be done at the relative cost. i'd like to ask you to explore that possibility >> and to the president. >> and i'm working with caltrans and there's a lot of community concerns about the lot that's there around bryant. the way the lot is used and i'm hoping that the waterfront assessment will put your recommendations recommendations that other staff including the transportation authority and community feedback all on the same table. the assessment helps us to if
