beautiful, bicycles will help the streets become safer. and the other amazing fact in the introduction is that i did go on the bikes with both the mayor of la and the mayor of honolulu. la is number one congestived and honolulu is number two and the san francisco bay area is the third most congestived area. if three percent of the people driving their cars went on bicycles just three percent, you would reduce congestion by 30 percent and so it really could have a huge impact on air quality and the air quality, management district, here in the bay area, and jack deserve a huge degree of credit and they have really championed this with many of the other partners here and the final thing, here and in all of the cities that are going to get this and is that they are going to get an economic boost and what the ride share and bike share in new york shows is that
12:31 pm
businesses adjacent to new bike lanes and the bike share programs do better because people can get off and go shopping at this safeway and go into the cal transand it is much easier to park my big reason for biking is that you don't get a ticket. there is no license plate on a bicycle. and you don't pay insurance and as was mentioned, you get a lot of great exercise. most importantly, it is really fun, these are great bikes to ride and they have seven gears unlike the ones in dc, and only have three, this has 7. and so at least twice as good as the dc bike share program, and they have gps so you can't steal them and they have a great little thing in the front to put your bag in and as you are going to see you can wear a suit. so when i bike to work, a lot of people take their bikes on the cal train and then they are stuck at the other end and they want to go and work and they do work at google or apple or any of these places and they don't know how to get from one place
12:32 pm
to the other and so this will provide that solution and everyone should try one. and a lot of people think that they are just going to be for tourists but the reality is that they are going to be for all of us and we are going to have a lot of fun on them. thank you for making it happen, i can't wait to ride mine in a few minutes, thanks. + [ applause ] . >> don't give the mayor any ideas for generating revenue, we don't want to see any tickets on the bicycles any time. in addition to your great work, it is motivating to hear you and hear you talk about the personal benefits of biking in your own life and how you translated that into a public policy and created and motivating all of us to ride bikes, and bike sharing as you heard from our wonderful speakers is truly a win/win for the bay area, as a resident of san jose for 30 years and a city council member being a san francisco is one thing and it is dense and it is urban, and
12:33 pm
san jose is sprawled out and the chance for the people to use public transportation and get on the bikes. i am happy that our 16 bay area bike share stations will join a network of 280 miles of completed bike ways in san jose. and they continue to expand at a rapid pace, they completed 500 bike way miles in the city of san jose over the next few years and as i speak, we are under construction of the green bike lanes project which directly connects several of the bike share stations and ultimately connect us all throughout the bay area. and all of these bike facilities create great places for the people to ride or on their own bike, the benefits are many, and bike sharing as a
12:34 pm
option will continue to grow from this point forward as you demonstrate how healthy and fun and convenient it can be. thank you for your attention this morning and i really do want to thank jack from the district and our staff for leading this effort in conjunction with so many partners at this time, i would ask the ceremony speakers to join me in the front for the ribbon cut and before they do that, i would like to encourage everyone watching listening or reading about the share, to take the time to register to be part of the program, in fact, sign up today and find it out for the compute tomorrow and especially with the bay bridge closed. there are a lot of people on the bay with our bikes and having the fun with it over the long holiday weekend and it is easy to do at bay area bike share.com. bay area bike share.com and so now let's go over and get some ribbon cutting down and launch this program and get on the
12:35 pm
bikes and follow me through the station, thank you everyone for being here this morning. [ applause ]

space is it was very important that we use green building design standards. so in all of our construction of the project and so many of the things the lighting for example, the heating and cooling systems all done with lead compliant standards and then in the near future we'll be using solar on the roof and generating such as 75 percent of our power requirements here. so very green approach to the space. so this is the home of our consumer product groups headed up by this lady and as well as

12:41 pm
distributes the work and we have the tools to make what people want to make but also our advanced research group. so we have an advanced group here looking at the future of manufacturing. so we're happy to are participate and it's my pleasure to be here. under were so many people that contributed. i'll just tell you there's nothing for fun i've been working on a go-cart and trying out the equipment and a calibrating the machines but there's nothing more fun than the tourists coming walking down and be looking in and get to
12:42 pm
watch you use the equipment 80 to make stuff. it's really a great location in being not only in the center of the city. there's so many things that hearsay a hands on place but this is the next place. how do we take science and make it a workable item. thanks to everybody (clapping) >> all right. thank you very much carl. mayor lee >> thank you. >> invite you up next. >> wow. first of all, chris and carl congratulations to everyone with auto desk. and unusually it's been about
12:43 pm
the office expansion at the one market had he highway his staff is expanding. and it's invaluable to our own tech industry and our capital that our city a proud to be that all desk is right here. when you go to the museum you'll realize there's a new history here. some years ago the engineers and the architect in my office came up to me and said you've god got to understand cad the computer sawdust thing now everybody is on computer. this is the new training we have to do and fast forward you go to the laboratory sites in mission
12:44 pm
bay and look at the bio sciences what we're doing and you see our own cells in 3-d and how the medical dloefrz are being made and you can from people who design the golden gate bridge and you realize this technology is now infiltrating everything we want to do with cell structures and assisting doctors discover how to look at cells easier to get to the solutions of the big diseases. well, now you've got this space and walking through here with supervisor chu and supervisor kim we're calibrating ourselves what the heck to do because
12:45 pm
there is so much to be done. i can talk about it but i have to suggest it to you this is the beginning of manufacturing what we thought it was. there is a redid i mention going on with the machinery the way this 3-d ability at looking at things in an additional way and making them available to the intirnlz this year this is what the ports always wanted to do exhibit this. for years monique and i have tried to a figure out how do we get our waterfront that much more innovative. the reason why you take such views you match them with the
12:46 pm
innovative spirit we have on staff at auto desk and you realize people inventing things here is going to be incredible and auto desk is in the center. you're looking at a company that's going to teach people how to use tools like this. one of their staff i think nova has his own website to teach people how to kiss. of course, i've induced supervisor kim to go directly to that website to be instructed but that's one of thousands of instructions that gone with new tools. i talked to carla few minutes
12:47 pm
ago about the introduction of tablets into the schools and the kids might get the applications. it's incredible part of our education were fast forward not only are those machines and tools exposing people to a new way of manufacturing but we need to make more things and allow the world to do it in a modern way. it's not just having the workshops but exposing them to the 3-d abilities. that manufacturing that ability to manufacture onshore will be introduced right here in san francisco because of this
12:48 pm
incredible performance. they have a bio printing. what's that. some of the people from my hometown in seattle want to give him a bet on the 479 and seahawks and they want me to shave off my mustache and if i do that i don't expect too because we'll win i have bio printing to help me roar that maybe i've got a tool. the bio printing is going to be an extremely serious work. along with the playful and educational introduction we're
12:49 pm
on the verge of a huge transportation. just like when the engineers came to my office we're no longer going to use 2 dimensional we're going to help everybody to solve problems in the world. it's that addressed dimension and it's incredible to fast forward a new economy that's going to be here. so you can obviously feel the excitement it's like a kid walking into a candy store and thinking and calibrating what we can do as a city to support this just explosion i think that will go on. it's happening in the city and the waterfront and

12:54 pm
the port is celebrating it's 1 hundred and 50 anniversary. the reason the port was founded was to do something to build our seawall. and from the seawall i don't know how many of you know that land is at the hotel at montgomery so everything is resting on the seawall. it strikes me to know how cool it is to welcome auto desk for their innovation. the seawall was designed on a dine competition. the very first phase was awarded to a person who had the best design and there were 7 engineers who built this for a 1
12:55 pm
and 50 years so it's fantastic i can't imagine if they had you to know what the seawall looked like or how much longer is would last. pier 9 is our secret and it's great to see you all here. thank you for your patience and it's now sound like it's not a secret anywhere but it's an important place to us where we q can mayor historic preservation and not - we're doing fab list work and working side to side with the bar pilots which are over 1 hundred and 50 years old and i being a part of us.
