the most reliable sources has been development and has been the development of market rate units, which help to offset the cost of affordable housing. this proposal, i think, will reroute all of the potential affordable housing funds to new development and i also have an issue with the fact that we have developments in my district in particular that need to be rehabilitated. there are a lot of different layers to affordable housing. specifically, there's public housing, yes, and there's san francisco housing authority. there is also housing that's under hud directly that exists as a result of redevelopment. and specifically a number of those developments are past their life-span and need to be rehabilitated. and i know we're going to be working on looking at this legislation to determine how those can be included in the number of affordable housing

units portfolio as it relates to construction, but i'm just not convinced that we're there yet. imposing a ratio on construction solely on new construction of market rate and affordable housing means we will be ignoring the needs of already built affordable housing. in order to meet the ratio, all of the available funding in the voter approved housing trust fund will have to go towards new construction with nothing left for the preservation of existing affordable housing development and public housing developments. the housing authority and other hud housing developments will remain as neglected as they have for years, with no hope in sight for thousands of people who may lose their homes if the conditions persist. it is worth pointing out that 30% ratio in question is not even accurate now that the state has dissolved the san francisco redevelopment agency, meaning these consequences could be even worse especially in district 5 where the need is great for rehabilitation of

existing affordable housing units. so, i have real concerns. just today, colleagues, you supported an issue of a sale of revenue bonds for buchanan park apartments for $15 million. and there are more to come, especially in my district. they're not moving quickly enough and they should, but this could be a devastating blow. i have always said that improving public housing is one of my top priorities. there are so many layers to public housing and affordable housing and they all need our support. and i want to help ensure that san franciscans, regardless of income or background, have access to affordable and safe housing. yes, we can and we must do both. these goals are not in conflict. in fact, providing funds for existing public and affordable housing is one of the most effective thing that we can do to make the city affordable. but the other challenge that we're not talking about is the lottery system. we talk about the fact that we

want to help homeless families, we want to help teachers, we want to help doctors. we have a lottery system that doesn't lend itself to be supportive of housing those folks who needed affordable housing the most. so, maintaining public and affordable housing is an efficient and effective part of my overall housing goal. it is not a diversion from those efforts. if our overall goal is to find housing for people in need, we need to do something about these crises as it relates to not only building more but also supporting those who we know need this housing most. i support both existing and new affordable housing developments and today along with the mayor will be supporting an initiative that protects funding for both new and existing affordable housing units, creates more affordable housing funds, and reflects neighborhood plans as well as helps every san francisco find an affordable safe place to live. i hope that we can come to a

resolution. i do not want to see dividing or two measures on the ballot that are in conflict with one another as we're working together. and working together, we can develop a system by which we can support affordable housing and we can support the preservation of affordable housing. and, again, those two are not in conflict with one another. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor breed. mr. president, seeing no other names on the roster that concludes roll call for introduction of business. >> let's go to general public comment, madam clerk. >> at this time the public may comment generally for up to two minutes on item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board including items on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. please note that public comment is not allowed on items which have already been subject to public comment by a board committee. pursuant to board rule 4.22, please direct your remarks to the board as a whole, not to individual supervisors nor to the audience.

sidewalk replacements around the city streets at approximately 210 locations and the funds leverage in addition to the state funds that will be used to repair the additional 95 locations. the locations to be repaired are picked from a list of requests that have been inspected by the staff and prioritized higher if the location has been a sight of an accident. and maybe the dpw also looks at area of high sidewalk lift and locations with existing extensive damage and this is a recurring annual request for prop k and conditioned upon approval of the five year priority, which is the subject of agenda item 8. this is 39,000 dollars to

conduct the follow up planning to that effort and the funs from this project will be used for the development of the scopes of work and funding plans and the rfp for the next phase of the project related to the realignment of the southbound off-ramp and the closure of the northbound i280 on-ramp as well as from the funding for the inner agency staffing and i want to note that the transportation authority staff received the supportive action from the balboa park on this item. >> these are included in the plan to increase the safety. and this is the subject of this specific request and implementation and for a total of 4 intersections by the

community and intersections in priority order, and arlington and wilder and the funds that will be used for the construction, and repaving and lecturn pockets and upgrading signals and street lighting and restriping and landscaping and does eliminate the five parking spaces. and the prop k, request it here is lefage as a 1.2 million dollar federal ear mark. and the next project shown is the comments and i think that the cac questions the plan and larkin raised is what improvement to viking and to the pedestrian safety and it sounds like those and that intersection will make it much safer for the biking and the pedestrian an safety. >> that is right, arial is following up as the project manager but the traffic calming

impacts will effect both bicyclists and pedestrian ans but as far as having specific bicycle infrastructure and that might be a typo but we will confirm. >> thank you. >> and the street scape and it applies for the project that the committee saw in april and the initial funds in 2012 were for the first block of the construction and the design and the projects gave the project the vision of funding for the second block. and the project includes, traffic calming and traffic islands a bus bulb out, and pedestrian. and on the second we have for the month is the field and loop pedestrian requestor and requesting 240,000 for the

design phase of this project, and the sfmta and the city college have been working to to be sure that the project continues to move forward for the construction, and sfmta will be designing and constructing the project on behalf of the city college and in coordination of the new pedestrian plaza located between the actual loop where the buses will turn around and a new housing development. and the it will design a new pedestrian connection between the city college and the loop and the kstop on, on shen avenue and the design on the construction to be completed by the fall of 2015 and the winter of 2016. 21 million is the over all cost. and that goes towards the contract and prokuring the

managing the subcontract and administering the client, eligiblebility. all of the work funded will be completed by june the 15th and i want to know that on time performance is up and, and the requests are done and accounting for more new accurate we are forming and over the past three years, the debit card system is allowed better enforcement of the program rules and includes the program for the ramp taxi drivers. okay and the final request is for the transbay transit center, the joint power authority is requesting 43 million for the construction phase of a transbay transit center. it will support the san francisco bus ramps and program and project management and construction management and other services and of the

construction of super construction concrete. and the system and it looks like a really big request and it is, and i want to point out that a large portion of the funds were deobligated from the older grant when they received stimulus funds, and they had strict timely requirements and bumping up the prop k funds. and these next few slides have given an idea of the work that is happening over the next few months and years and i want to note that the revised budget for the project of 1.899 building for the phase one of an increase of 310 million over the may deadline, it has identified, 110 million for the funding to fill a portion of that gap, including 41 million in prop k, and 61 million in the bay funds. and the cjpa board developed a strategy to fund the remaining by using a transit district plan, and the revenues of which

will be acquired by the formation of the facilities. simple clarification and not related to the expenses of anything, but the projects on page seven, you call the loop, and i have made attempts and i thought that it was being taken care of that name will not be used any more? do you know anything about that i should say that we have dpa and ron, and sarah and pt mcdonald if you have

questions as well. i understand that the conversations are that the transit area is being discussed as being remained to the san francisco state, and i am sorry, city college, staff. and so it would have, city college and the name. and that the plaza is the unit b plaza has been selected by the community and i am not assure that the change of the location has taken effect yet though but we can confirm. >> thank you. they were asking just to see where it was at. >> okay. >> thank you any other questions colleagues sf >> thank you, let's open up this for public comment. if there is anyone
