vacation requests the portion for today. and then that walk from here it moves into details we're sharing with our board with the timeline. if there are any questions regarding the technical position i'll field them out >> colleagues, any questions. >> no questions. >> thank you very much. >> mr. chair i'd like to bring i bring opening up one more presentation from the sfmta. >> good afternoon. i'm with the transportation authority. i'll provide some brief context as john updyke showed previously this fits in with a larger he set of projects. the impetus behind the

replacement aside from the condition of the bridge the impetus is an effort to replace it in such a way it that facilitate a oakdale station. so we've been working and the transportation authority board approved in july of last year an option after we considered a number of orpgsz to facilitate the bridge and the local access through the area. the option was the replacement of the caltrain bridge it is shown with the circle. the station is the orange portion so the objective was to accommodate further proofrmz and the option that was selected in last july to do that is the

bedroom it closess the vacation before you today that will be before the board tooth and coordinated with a new student city called the connection our that will provide local access through the ear. that's a little bit of context we were looking for the la county of the futuristic station so as caltrain is moving forward with the replacement of this bridge we're working with the dpw and the planning department on design and environmental contemporaneous for the connect our road with caltrain and with the further construction timeline of that. so given the board immediate then ever need to replace the bridge we're going to bring in

the construction of the connect our road immediately behind the bridge so the timeline is it will be under construction beginning in the spring and completed in the fall and then dpw will construct the connect our road in the fall of next year and taking 6 months. that's the overall context and we've gone through a long community process to make sure we're meeting all the sometimes previously competing but hopefully, this is the solution that brings the need to replace the bridge and access to the area and the need for the future station to be able to happen. with that i'll be happy to answer any questions >> okay. seeing none mr. chair, i want to give comments.

>> that i public comment on item 2. (calling names) >> and that's the only card i have so if anyone else wants to speak please step forward. >> i'd like to go over briefly what has happened in prop krngs of the old station. in 2004 the consultants engaged the community and lapped on a beautiful station design including the circulation of bikes and pedestrians in particular. one of the key points there was an opportunity to fund a station under the pass through the bridge replacement. then in 2008, prop one a passed and things went south pr in 2009

san francisco was innovated with the so-called rail corridor program. the cdc was directed to defund the queen bridge replacements because the station and pass was going to be replaced with an embankment. in the time swap the formula would the full bridges in san mateo this work was completed in 2012 and fast-forward to 2014 and the spending an additional $13 million for the exact 4 bridges because the city of san mateo wants the tracks so if you want to go go ahead with accident legislation first of all, the pets can't cross and the viebltd felt old caltrain station from the transportation

alliance will be severely commodity and in closing it's time to say enough to have the city evaluate the option >> thank you. any thomas on thomd seeing none, public comment is closed. >> sorry i didn't mean to impede on your public comment and thank you for the account for the last 10 years. so you you've heard in the report there's an urgency to get the bridge repaired and i request ask for your support for the overall resolution and amendments >> great. thank you. colleagues supervisor cowen has submitted some amendments to item 2. can i have a motion to adapt those amendments >> so moved.

this very site this very development was named the worst housing development by the federal government urban department by hud in a relatively short amount of time we're here going from worse to best. just like everything we do in san francisco we do it the best because we're the best and important to, know who we work for the best resident in the city and county of san francisco (clapping) where the delipidated and uninhabitable temporary housing once stood we see beautiful brand new structural sound housing where families will have is peace of mind knowing their children will play in stave green spaces in their

neighborhood. the mayor said we're delivering a promise not only to rebuild the housing we're delivering on but it's a promise to rebuild a community that's what is most important. a promise to instill dignity in a neighborhood and more importantly in the people. this groundbreaking represents the rival of a neighbor and the nexus been all the projects from the shipyard to candle stick to the tee line. this was once thriving community has been fighting for improvements for years and i'm proud to say we're back on track we're claiming our victory. now is not a time to get comfortable this is just the beginning. there's a lot of work that needs
