neighborhood gray hound buses if they were summarily but the fact you have double deckers and greyhound they're bigger than muni. i think inch explained thank you very much >> on the last issue we're embarking on this pilot program to address some of the impacts you've tubed. very quickly i don't want to keep this gentleman but with regard to the streets we talk about safety and the other projects but i'll say with regard to trees in my former role of the stout of the urban effort trees are one of the most cost effect piece of

infrastructure they provide stormwater benefit and numerous environmental things like oxygen and reduce the heat island effect and provide traffic calming they're a good investment in infrastructure. they're not moral american people aesthetic amenity. but development and who pays for it that's a big and complex question. plan bay area was adapted with feedback and dpiltd from the city of san francisco so the idea it was imposed any some strange entity is not the case. it proposed development in infrastructure that recognizes

there's a gap i think it's $16 billion of capital gap in the big transit systems it doesn't solve the problem it recognized the mandate and m t c is stepping up to address that. we have development fees you're right they don't apply to residential units to in the eastern areas and the octavia plan they pay the development foes as well those those yuntsz u units are paying and the property taxpayers will to the the bill all those new resident will be contributing to that bill and the developers are paying for the majority of the infrastructure so at the candle stick and treasure island the

developers are paying for the transportation 70 san. but you're right all the growth and transportation needs that the growth will need is not funded. thanks for your patience >> i'm eric p scott. it bothers me when the people who ply by the rules are the first, you come to when you need revenue we have easy marks i really want you to try to get the revenue before you come after us. there are many lions i see rapid fair evaluation and people selling transfers and they have huge piles there doesn't seem to be any enforcement. right outside those buildings we have signs that is a bus taxi

only their violated every few minutes yet nobody endorses those. i see money slipping through our fingers. you need to work on the revenue side of things. i'm not a big fan of the give a ways even though i would benefit i don't want to see the nodes based one hundred percent discount. i think there's one expectation i would make one class the general public who i think probably deserve that's jurors so they don't try to bring our cars in just a few people it's not a great expense but

something that helps take the sting out of that. i have completely forgotten my comments >> i'll speak to the enforcement part. you're right there are opportunity we're losing in terms of fair enforcement we did a study a few years book and estimated $19 million in lost or for gone revenue if fair avoidance. it was based on that we increased the number of fair inspectors we have. that coupled with the free muni for youth we haven't updated that study i'm guessing that loss is down it's a cost benefit of enforcing do we spend more in

endorsing obviously diminishing fairs to make people to pay there's still lose. with regard to transfer sales we're working closely with the police and respectfully yours, the numbers of transfers so there's less supply important people to sell. so we're going to try to address that. in terms of the the staffing of the police department it's been declining and the traffic company the folks who do that kind of enforcement is down 50 percent. with the mayor and the board of supervisors funding police academies in this last year, we should be up to full strength

and we've been working closely to identify our priorities from the transit system in terms of where's the enforcement most needed so we should start seeing more of that that. hopefully colorries many of the lanes on market street and try to expand some of them coupled with enforcement that will help. we're also putting forward facing cameras on more of our buses to do contemplated enforcement we can only do that enforcement for parked vehicles not a moving vehicle that's a step so you're right about the issues. we're making steps to try to capture not so much for the revenue but to make the system work better

>> in this specific case of market and van ness a large number of the aviators have brand new cars with no rear plates that's the same as on the bay bridge. i'll pass that along to our police colleagues. i like the idea of diversifying a discount for using clipper that's one of the ways to coax people off the paper but there's a aspect that has irked me ever since clipper was trod for the late night people if you pay cash after 8:30 p.m. you get a

transfer actually 8:00 a.m. in the next morning the problem with the clipper implementation doesn't respect that it gives you 90 minutes regardless of the time and that's at the obstacle to get people to transfer if you find in your heart to convince m t c to flip the bill for that that will be a step in the right direction >> thank you. anyone else. we're a little bit past our time but if anyone has any comments i'm be happy to take them >> my name is cindy and you mentioned some about the paving that's been funded and being

done in the city and as is cyclist i appreciated every inch of new pavement. unfortunately a lot of the riots are being paid out of richmond and south of market. >> we're prioritizing and it's making a huge difference and appreciate it. and again as a cyclist i see the difference year by year f spring a coming the days are getting longer and i have to do to the va so the people heading downtown liquor it's doubling and tripling because people are starting to get their bisexuals out and reside it's existing to

me. i would encourage i mean, i i was really happy to see the car sharing and a biking means of traffic more attractive and preferred and i would support dedicating more relative to other things fixes that can be made. one last thing if you go to the muni building liquor at masonic that's a sad structure it's old and dumb that i it would be nice if one day that could be a gorgeous crystal building the morale will improve. the facility is not one of the

things we've had the fund it's a historic structure i don't know if you want to make that a glittering glass structure it's very one or more that's some of the kinds of measures that are recommended to be on the battle in november will give us funding for the first time as well as to do more and better bicycle infrastructure. >> one question do i have any control over the toll services. >> we do have control it's our contract. one of the first questions i got think this job why is it so expensive and can you - what there lies that cost it's set is

expire in the next year or two we'll reconsultant that service and i'm hoping we can get the toe foe down it's salt in the wound you get a ticket and you go and have this huge bill to pay. it's not money that comes to us it encompass through to pay the costs of the administration there's an administrative foe but i get a lot of containments and would love to be able to bring that down. any last words? >> something i consider also that you say in your study for me is clear but i see that you

say that the people that pay $2 is the people that can for the record that $2. you see the people that take the bus is people that is generate and babysitters and house corp. is people that really afford only the minimum wage and i think that people pay rent and pay bills and pay everything can't afford the $2 the people that for the record the more than $2 is the people riding the bus. this is in my opinion >> thank you our fairs are pegged relative to other transit systems in the country they're relatively low awhile everything in san francisco is higher than average like food transit is

relatively inexpensive compared to other cities but right for some people in the economy it's expensive we are luke ways to make it more forcible for people who need it to be. >> hi, i have to questions. at night in those muni where they serve the why is it they're out at night. and also how is the city saving money on those hybrid buses by using diesel foul. in terms of the vehicles overnight there's a couple of things happening one is the night time when we do the maintenance on the vehicles

that's the only time to do it the light rail systems runs from 8:30 in the morning actually 8:30 at night so the window when they're in the yard there being a serviced. there's been a practice in some places of leaving the vehicles powered up because of the age of some of the vehicles some of them don't like to start back up implicit because we have one of the old i ever tell business fleets in the country we're taking extraordinary bus services just trying trying to make sure we're not keeping vehicles up and powered and running but those are some of the things that make it look like the busses are running all

night along. all that the busses are hydro electric like a prius they republic on foul part of the time and electricity part of the time we're using bio diesel that's a 20 percent blend of bio mass you know from correspond oil or french fried dpraez coming from within the city to the public utilities commission that manages the wastewater system endangerment's the waste oil and is converted. the foul efficiencies we get from hybrid vehicles as opposed to other vehicles st. is significant it's hundred of

thousands of dollars a year we're running part of the time open batteries and that makes it better for the environment but more cost effective as well. now anyone have a last word. if not thanks for coming and great questions and comments the february is very, very helpful for us to have and appreciate you all and have a great night and get home safely.

today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot

different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is

good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered?

>> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher, yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle, you wouldn't want it in an area where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't

rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home, how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you

stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for helping san francisco stay safe. >> welcome to culture wire. we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look.

the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early

enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here,

you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended.

these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a

bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of

words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists. as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years.
