8:00 pm
this extension that attracts a lot of riders, and we estimate the trips on the line and that is 55 percent increase with the line, and but a quarter of those trips are new and so those are people taking autos or others means or not making the trips and remaining trips are folks coming from the over crowded lines to better balance out of system and improve the performance of the other lines up in that neighborhood. and serving out with the rider ship increase was the subway will be able to handle it and this shows that the peak element does not increase in the trips and that is due to the nature of the demand in these neighborhoods and you can see that no red or the upper red lines that is will be sufficient to support a capacity while the line is planning to run 2.5 minutes by 2030. as part of the study, to analyze the land uses and the development section of it, and so these are mature
8:01 pm
neighborhoods with only a few soft sites in the quarter mile and really none of any size within a quarter mile to north beach, and using this analysis, our strategic economics recommended the dropt value increases. and they found several tools to be used to obtain the bonds for the project but none are going to pay for it in full and also found that with the limited number of sites, and changing the designing height limits will increase the revenue. and you can see that these tools could contribute from $10 million to $200 million from 5 to 20 percent of a project. that brings us to the capitol cost. (inaudible) who did a feasible and constructionbility repaired and each of the concepts based on a national data base but adjusted for san francisco and
8:02 pm
these are not inflation adjusted. but these drivers of the cost of these, are the number of stations and the amount of underground verses surface construction and in the cost ranges from 400 million from the shortest route to the longest underground concept and you will also notice that they are twicing of the costs and but may notice that they are twice as fast, and so, a two way, i objectsingsing tension is estimated at about 500 million for a partial surface but about 900 million for a full underground option. and we will use that underground option as an example to see how it compares and i can see that it ranks firmly for the highest category, as defined by the fta and that is cost per trip. and so the project will be competitive to obtain federal mixed, and but there are many projects in san francisco. and so it must first find the
8:03 pm
place in the local priorities and the match for the funds could come from a variety of sources including those valued capture mechanisms or i mean that the local transportation measure, for example, prop k, extension, and the other contributions like proceeds from the joint development of a site above the station, and may return to paul to talk about the other issues. >> north beach which is a point on phase two construction and that is where the tunnels will extend to pull the machines out without having them come out in the middle of columbus avenue and we will just keep the machines going and fortunately the environmental process has been stretched as far as it could and that was not feasible and the machines have been taken out and they do have a lease on the site through may of 2015, before any activity can go forward with construction of anything on that particular location. and we also have a right of first refusal if they are
8:04 pm
willing to sell but we have not any indication that that will be happening. and so what this shows here is if a station were to be built here there is significant impacts to this neighborhood. and the cost to do a station initially was looked at along the other alternatives of 350 to 500 million dollars, the more expensive one will have less disruption but take longer. >> we want eded to do even though we are not going to do a recommendation and it was a simple process of 7 different categories if this probably better than average or average which will get a 0 or a plus or weak around that issue it was given a mean us and these are not weighted in any manner they are all equal, which will change if this were the valuation. and the out come, was that the two subway on the shortest
8:05 pm
going up columbus and scored the highest and this is reasonably well, and now, all of the surface alternatives scored less and probably the reason behind that was that we are looking at issues of investment and service reliability and once it is underground and operational, and it should really not have any problems with it and, also, a disruption to the communities during the construction and operation will be less. we can go over the last slide actually. these are the next steps, this project was the blue arrow going out and it is feeding information into a transportation plan up date which is managed by the group to feed into something that mta is working on to call a capacity and which is looking at short and long term investments including upgrading and making changes to the existing system as well as
8:06 pm
capitol investments for future con jeks and that study, is feeding into the mtc or the core capacity, for san francisco. and which is due out, later in 2015, at the beginning of 2016. >> thank you, commissioners that concludes our presentation and we are happy to answer any questions. >> colleagues any questions? >> could i just ask about that columbus avenue site that he kind of went through quickly, that was going to the theater site and it looks like the owner is preparing to build 19 units of housing but the mta have the first right of refusal, if they decide to sell, could you talk about how that impacts this proposal? >> briefly, having a large open site anywhere near a major construction site, and since north beach is a dense neighborhood, if either, the met and which is actually less
8:07 pm
disruptive is used you will have a place to stage, somewhere in the area and having that piece of property, when someone makes the staging east and her might actually have the consultants group that makes you having a less amount of grout on the columbus and powell streets to build the actual infrastructure underground and not having another location in that area that is opened to allowing the staging will cause a disruption and will have more impact on cost. >> and the project over all? >> you can compare this to the emphasis between the china town construction site today verses the union square, construction site today, and china town is mostly off street and the road remains open, where the union street requires the road to be closed for a extensive period of time. >> and i just thank you for the thoroughness of the study, and i will have to look at the cost benefit and it seems like it is providing benefits but what strikes me is that a half
8:08 pm
billion to 1.4 billion price tag and although there is sources of funding that you have identified, but i have questions about how it impacts the other priorities for the city as well. but thank you. >> and that is one of the next steps is looking at this in the context of san francisco's other priority and it we will be happy to keep the board informed of all of the developments. >> so i see no questions for the colleagues and open it up for public comment, we have one card, and anyone else from the public come forward to speak. >> good morning, commissioners my name is bruce agget and i am a member of the central subway group, and sf next stop.org and the board member and transportation met in the neighborhood association. on my comments today are endorsed by both groups. first, we want to thank property ject team from the mta
8:09 pm
cta and planning department. the extension provides a complete extension of neighborhoods on the eastern side of the city from visitation valley to the fisherman's wharf and the access of prospective job applicants to jobs. the hotels room to the center to provide the capacity to meet the demand and ultimately reduces traffic con jeks and improving the pedestrian, and bike safety to transition into a more sustain able livable city. we support the next steps outlined to incorporate the datings and findings in the various places mixed in the presentation and last, berecommend that the city may be planning or the real estate
8:10 pm
department investigate the opportunity to obtain the rights or the potential for the future locations for the samples that we just mentioned. and this is important, as the opportunities potentially exists today, which can minimize the future neighborhood disruption at the time of the construction thanks so much. >> thank you. for your support of transportation throughout the city as well. any other comments? >> thank you, and very briefly, i have yours and that could not be quite as eloquent and the only thing that i would like to take to your attention and the loop and from my experience it is a safety issue, because you have got the single down in the west in the central subway, you have two bowls and so if anything happens, you head to one of the cross passages and you head for the other tunnel and you exit. and so, as long as there is a single bowl, you should be, and you should not be studying that any further. >> thank you. >> next speaker?
8:11 pm
>> i had no idea this was going to be on the agenda, but it just shows the support from the neighborhoods, and the people at large, that take the subway system, that are in support of the expanding this t-line and fisherman's wharf and i hope that the commissioners will take the next step from this report and move it forward. thank you. >> thank you, anyone else, like to speak for the public? >> public comment is closed. >> thank you, for this great informational item >> next item? >> 11, introduction of new items. >> so colleagues any items? >> public comment, anyone from the public that would like to speak. >> mta, just to clarify, something that i said earlier,
