from the macalister project on franklin street and count down signals. the city college pedestrian connecter. all of those projects have decreased our total capital cost by $111 million. we've also have a couple of new expenditures for projects. one is the bicycle sharing strategic analysis report. this is a project for $25,000 that was recently requested by chair avalos to investigate the structures of a bike -- regional bike sharing program. we also have received an approval from this -- from the pa committee and from this board an appropriation for the bus wrack transit and that's an appropriation back in july to allow staff to complete the environmental phase. moving down to administrative operating cost. one item i'd

baseline which allows tax proceeds to go toward administration, programming, planning and project delivery oversight to support the prop k program because the system will need to adjust this to 6.7 percent for this fiscal year. and last but not least, we have -- in other finances resources because of the large amount of expenditures we don't anticipate, there's no need for the $470 million issuance the bond and we're able to afford to start paying down our $115 million outstanding commercial program as well. it is great news that we can start paying this program and we hope to see to pay this program down in the next five years. with that, the cac received briefing of this item and had no -- we voted on this item. with that i'd like to

8:47 am
architect. i want to thank sfmta and thanks 90 to john and ed reiskin i was concerned where we were going to house the tenants that were displaced. and at least i think one of the greatest challenges fact or facts our city is affordability and this site is going to be a symbol of exactly how we do that for our families and former homeless individuals so congratulations and norman let's shovel some dirt >> our own mayor ed lee.
8:48 am
>> thank you norman and norman i want to thank you and cdc staff you guys don't get the credit but no matter what you're focused observes and the quality of life to i'm grateful to you. i'm very happy to join supervisor david chu and other agencies that have worked hard. john said something earlier about the subway and this project. there's much more and i think that ms. wu understand how we have to plan important the city. transportation and housing go together and they miss go together in the future. we've been taught for many, many years you can no longer build housing in areas where it's not
8:49 am
connected to great transportation systems payroll so we took this opportunity when we understood when the embark did care highway was going down we were sad and i know we were there struggling for the survival of the chinese community which this freeway went down. but we take opportunities to have confidence with people about what we we need to continue doing. this is why cdc forces those conversations to have to happen. this is just the beginning. 45 units of affordable housing but 18 of those are going to be dedicated to the formerly homeless. those individuals need to be helped in the city. we're building a lot of housing
8:50 am
and as norman referenced that might not be assessable to our community so we're creativity we're going getting that innovation going. i'd like 80 to see the city's official bird on the city-state site. that's itself crane. as gordon was whispering in my ears we're going to do the right thing keep the strong commitment to the affordability in our city and this is one of the examples to come we're already beginning those negotiations. and i've started that conversation and we're going to
8:51 am
grass what we need to do to build affordable housing for everyone. we need to continue to build and we'll work with the community on that. having said that i love this very great example that i think we're exemplifying for the rest of the country when we have is a possible displacement of valuable residents on wants center railroad site we take care of them. i want to thank the sfavd for bridging their lives all this period of time it was a very delicate thing we all want the central subway to exist in chinese town but sometimes, the
8:52 am
good can be bad unless we handle had conversation in a special way. we did that. awe midget a complicated election time we said we're going to take care of everybody in the city that's why the 14 residents is so important to be include on this site but being in an urban city and connecting that to housing. we've got some great advise being given to us on fourth and folsom and again city is leading the way and that's what chinatown is seeing that's what we're doing south of market with supervisor kim and we're doing
8:53 am
that with the brt having conversations about the stops and in the different communities. well, i like those conversations bogging base we're all trying to get intoefsh the success of this city. we shouldn't have winners and losers in this city. that's why this site is important because it's complicated and we like the complicates. bay 26 percent of the contractor on this are local people already being hired 60 percent minorities so the contractors as subcontractors are also incriminating the city while their building this wonderful project. we're going to have businesses on the waterfront they're going
8:54 am
to be welcomed with retail space and they'll have some needed open space for everybody to ask enjoy. we had this vision to get the site under our control because today represents what that control meant. i felt it with the willie brown center we kind of indicated that this whole corridor would be an exciting part of the housing and have more thing we do. i'm proud of the agencies that have come together. let's take the examples and tell the rest of the city and the rest of the country you can mold great transportation with housing and with the quality of life and get everybody to
