the i dp or other grading of other brt's i'm curious. >> i was looking at the scoring system a couple of weeks ago i can't tell you off the top of my head how we'll score you but that's an example of it - it is what i meant about local requirements to the attribute to get you the most points on the scoring system are level boarding which is much for difficult in the united states than other crisis and platform fair enforcements we've never been able to do in a cost-effective fashion and other countries have a easier time doing it in california my

coworkers saw the brt and he tell me they used other consistent for the platform we couldn't do that here because of our regulatory atmosphere and the difference in the way we do business. okay >> this is really helpful under scattering. >> are they're looking at an international inspection to this project i've been talking with mta they said it might achieve a silver rating but peter said there's different ways it is championing we know that cleveland has been able to get the ratings we'll be able to emulate as well as but again until we know the different

champs that will be impossible to know the rating. >> thank you supervisor yee. >> just had a quick question i know you've mentioned that but looking at the picture here. has it been determined that on van ness their won't be any bikes or bike lanes are there ultimate routes >> the current plan that's been implemented right now it is north, south bike lane will be particularly that van ness there won't be a bike lane on van ness per say based on the designs for the busses they will continue to operate with bike rakes to the bike riders can go to the brt platforms and load up their

bikes lie now and bike racks on streets they can lock up their bikes but the official route will be on polk street. >> thank you any other questions or comments open this up to public comment anyone from the public worrying about to speak. >> it's a critical issue if i want brt to work we need level boarding and dealing deal with the issues it is a proceeding lock time it has to be addressed because we're not going to be able to have the level boarding if there's a 3 inch gap my suggestion for the mta to send a strong message to the manufacturers that this issue will be a critical factor in the future for rapid transit buses

i know that the pga of america were here in disguise probably a few months ago playing the course and seeing whether or not on the turn of the 14 and 15 hole whether the gsht across the lake were going to be turned off i was wishing on during my opponents hits would those are gunshots go off or be dragon boat raise this is an urban setting this is why they choose san francisco to host it the urban setting the parks are extremely valuable on behalf of the city of san francisco thank you sandy tatum for your wonderful leadership in restoring our clubhouse it is restored for a reason.

we were in the process of announcing the beginnings of the first t program a program designed to bring golf to kids who historically had not had access to it around the country sandy tatum got in touch with me and have dinner with chuck and other corporate london breed's it was sandy's violation toy including but not limited to build the harding park but to create a genuinely venue for first t kids and really use it as a beachhead, if you will, for the center point in northern california area. it was a great idea we were all excited about that i think two years later mayor brown we had a press conference announcing to

get it denouncing done another year and another year went bay by but sandy wouldn't give up it was his perseverance that bought 80 us to rebuild harding park and we were on our way and the 2005 with players like tiger words and fold by the president cup we learned a lot about the enthusiasm of the fans in the bay area and the diversity of the fans the intelligence of the fans and our players noticed that as well that you had thousands of people who it out 80 taught to handinging park and know it's a wonderful thing to bay play that level of

competition at harding park since tln then chamz in partnership with chuck to get the clubhouse built so here we are today, we're excited about this for a number of reasons one to have a major champingship played are here this past weekend i heard cbs say over and over again in washington, d.c. the congressional is major champing venue and with ted's announcement today from today on harding park will be referred to as a major champingship venue that's a terrific thing for any golf course and the first t to

help it get moving is positive as well. i'd like to spend a second before i bring ed up to talk about for a second the match play champing. we think that having played the president cup at harding and 9 and being existed about it cob in 2025 it sets up for a match play that was a factor in deciding to bring it. but also you may not be aware we're bringing it forward with a new format historically we have the top 64 players 2 against 63 they play on wednesday and we're down to 32 players and on thursday we're going to do it differently t next year it's

going to be a world-class play cup everyone in the united states being riverside to that formulate in brazil where we'll be playing golf in the olympics nor the be first time in six the players will be broken down into groups of 4, 16 groups of 4 and then on wednesday and thursday and friday they'll play each and cut to the top 16 players out of that play to play the 16, 8, 4 and 2 on the weekend why did it important. first of all, it's a lot more golf 96 matches on wednesday thursday and friday it's a ton of golf and one of the reasons we wanted to come here we know the fans will replenish relish

the opportunity and the best players will rise to the top and third i think if you're a steve stricter barbara watson or tiger woods you'll follow your favorite player to get sgo the round of 16 one that will create a a lot more enthusiastically and excitement so we're going in a new direction in san francisco and i want to comment that starting about sandy in all those years the relationship with the city and the mayors that perverted our mayor and this mayor that did this arrangement it worked well, with the partnerships so, now as i bring up ted bishop ted became

the president of the pga a year and a half ago in my view he's a great visionary with the game of golf he likes to do things differently and take everything so a new level and the decision to come to the west coast and harding golf and playing at another golf co-sponsors is a new direction ted congratulations for that and your partnership and we wish you well, as we work together in the next 15 years together. ted bishop (clapping.) well, you know today is certainly a very monumental day in the history of pga in america and certainly in the golf community in san francisco i'm here to announce it the pga champing will come through harding park in 2020 and will

chief officers (clapping) at the pga of america quite honestly we got this deal done fast and it was certainly not without they're great efforts but i think the thing that's important for everyone to understand the pga officers and the pga board of directors have been committed to trying to find a site for west coast pga champing for basically, the passing past year we couldn't be more proud of the fact it is going to take place at the harding knowing park. we know the friends the northern california pga sections are going to be great hosts you've done f this before we we look forward to you guys doug doing a fantastic job. the u.n. the 2020 pga champing is going to help us showcase the
