9:00 am
including how much capacity we can provide. we can begin our transportation san francisco plan looking at the time horizon in time with the regional transportation plan and finally an update to the transportation plan of the general element which has now been updated in the last 20 years. i'm going through it very quickly what they entail. the very first piece we are going to call a vision. in the 50 years pull out some of the funding constraints. if we had our way, what would san francisco look like and how we want people to get around. we'll use the time to set the goals objectives by the value networks to evaluate all the projects and ideas that come through. we'll also be doing an existing conditions and needs assessments to inform those moves. the other piece is that we'll be looking at land use in addition to transportation and we'll run
9:01 am
some sensitivity test to see if we run more or less in the production to grow than is traditionally growing and what do we need transportation to respond or turning on its head what type of land uses are more supportive and what can we channel for those investments. coming out of the vision that will really set that framework and idea we'll go we'll be doing a couple of modal studies that we can be consistent with the region that is federally mandated and can start to think about funding constraints to have it be a realistic investment and this can be for transit studies and regional opportunities and also the freeways and arterials. there is a lot of discussion of what we should do with our freeways and
9:02 am
best ways to manage the traffic coming through our city. coming out of the modal studies and also in parallel to the transit study we'll be updating the sftp and this is looking again at the 2015 time horizon that are giving the land direction and what we are doing not only is one of the first to integrate regional transit not just with where we want to go with muni an planning process and what else do we want in terms of cal trans and all the operators that are operating in our city and knit them altogether into one transit mesh and in addition sf tp goes beyond transit and going about multimodal transportation if you are talking about a bike strategy versus a transit improvement and trying to say what are the hardships we can make.
9:03 am
the key modes are the investment season yoers, -- scenarios and which are funded and if were able to fund down sources what are the next projects in line. at the same time we do policy and advocacy recommendations looking at some of those new trends we discussed in our earlier presentation at the regent state and federal levels. and then once that work is done, a very final piece will be an update of the general plan and this will codify the transition goals, after the four corridors plan up to the transition planning to identify the corridors to be that transportation element and basically there is a number of different topics that need to be updated and we are using this opportunity to looking at the planning effort to how to update the policies
9:04 am
that don't get up on a general basis. >>supervisor katy tang: quick question, is there a deadline to meet these general plans? >> i'm going to let josh answer this from the planning department. >> good morning, josh with the planning department. my understanding is there is not a mandated date schedule along with the housing element which requires a schedule. the other plans don't have a state mandated requirement. it's just that they have to be "updated" but there is not any specific time horizon to be updated. >> okay. thank you. i'm glad we are doing this. commissioner yee? >>supervisor norman yee: in regards to whether or not the state mandates update, is it possible to get update every 6 months or so? >> on the transportation
9:05 am
lement? >> it would happen in the 2018 program. because there is a driving concern about doing it ahead of that planning work, i don't think it would be updated on an earlier timeframe. that's not what's anticipated in the work program. does that answer your question? >> it seems by the time there are changes it would be nice to know if there are any changes anticipating that we not wait a few years. >> it's a significant effort to update an element of the general plan. we recently opened up the space of the element and four to 5 years. it
9:06 am
involves a project outreach, this long range project that michael is describing will entail and involves looking at all the policies and priorities of the city. it's quite an intensive effort. that's why it's been 20 plus years since the city has done it and the ideas that there is a long range plan that has some weight and can take the city for 1-2 decades into the future without updating it on a very frequent basis. does that answer your question. >> in regards to the community or the outreach piece on this, what are the plans around that? what are we supposed to be doing? >> thanks. it's a great question. i have a sort of near term timeline on the next slide. but we do
9:07 am
anticipate stakeholders outreach throughout the process for kicking into high gear in the spring and the process to make sure we are being representative of citywide input as well as particularly targeting hard to reach stakeholders of people who are less represented in transportation plans and in communities and communities of color. that will be happening throughout the process. i think one thing that josh was implying is this a long range plan that is supposed to last a couple of decades. the plan, the countywide plan that is updated every four 4 years and the two documents speak to each other but have slightly different purposes. we are combining them here and in an unpress cedented way we are scooping these together and what are the city's priorities in both the near term as well as the longer term.
9:08 am
>> i will just wait for you to present that piece then if you have another slide on that. >> just one more slide. >> yes, this is the near term schedule. i wanted to very quickly know -- note what's going to happen in the next few months. we have the consultant services available on our website. it's on the front page. we hope to get a good response from the consultant community on that but that doesn't mean we are not, in the meantime the agencies are going to be working near the term task to get this moving because we know there is a need to get these task goes. we have the award for the contract in january and this will come to the finance committee because there is a contract but you will see at the full board and as i mentioned we'll be doing the first stakeholder outbreak. the first major outreach. sf tp did a very small outreach
9:09 am
last summer and we targeted so the community based organizations to let them know this was happening and there will be an update but a much larger effort in the spring. >>supervisor katy tang: thank you very much for the information. just to build on commissioner yee's comments. i would like to see more update than every 20 years. i understand it's a very extensive process to update the general plan but 20 years is too long given a lot of changes we are seeing in the city. in any case we are glad that we are under going this process right now. i know this is just an information item tempt. with that, -- at the moment. >> in terms of the progress updates. it's like what's going on, you know? are there some issues that you
9:10 am
are facing that we should know about right now. when you do contracts with community based groups, what are the outcomes that we are expecting present that. i'm not real clear about it right now. >> thank you. that's a great comment and part of the reason we are here is to get this group very engaged and informed and we plan to use this vehicle to come back and really talk about citywide and countywide issues and talk about what frequencies make sense to talk about this project and what we are doing. >> thank you. >> i really appreciate the interest and the desire to come back more frequently and give you snapshots of what's happening. planning is a real process. we have a countywide plan every 10 years and moving to every four
9:11 am
4 years to the plan bay area regional process because we are moving so fast and we are seeing complex issues that come with that growth. so what we'll be bringing for example next month will be an update to our management program. so in between countywide planning updates every 2 years required to update the board and tampa bay about what's happening with the congestion and accessibility in the city and we'll be coming back next month and talk about what parts of the city is getting slower and what are experiencing transportation challenges and/or improvements and that way we hope to keep the public engaged on a more continuous basis. on the transportation plan, that's where you are going to see policies and
9:12 am
moving towards different performance measures. i think that's something that is more durable. it's certainly we hear the message that you would like to hear the city come back more frequently. we will be doing that as michael and josh is said as part of this work. it's a huge effort to collaborate with all of our agencies and partners and we'll hopefully bring you updates on a regular basis. >>supervisor katy tang: thank you very much. any other questions or comments? seeing none. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public

9:50 am
everyone that is a free conference meeting but very significant ceremony and highlighted the rep of the key excess port but we had to mention the advice mayor and the shanghai transportation commission one of the hosts for the conference and wanting from the china china shipping lines amongst many others of the international and international port group the day stafrltd off in two parts of first portion as executive directors mentioned was that was actually, two conferences rolled into one of the first day was what was termed before us the pacific clean air conference it was heartened to see the board participation i believe the recognize of the impact that is shep industry has think is air quality and the significant
9:51 am
efforts being undertaken on a discussion in terms of how to help the impacts we also had represents in attendance not only from the consultant in china but from the u.s. epa mcdaniel the co-manager the waterfronts cpa and the western regional director the administrator dennis to the u.s. capital improvement and key represent frs many of the sister ports from the conference and from our excess across the way oakland and in los angeles and southern california some as mentioned the focus on how to increase use of electrical vehicles those onshore and then a reduction
9:52 am
combustion machineries and it is a global community now and many talk about the impact on the air quality that comes from china but a definite recognize no one else the impact but how to take significant steps to try to improve the emissions and so there was a big focus on new environmental regulations better use of shore power, alternative mandrin pour and electrical vehicles and a discussion for many of the speakers on liquefied natural gas or others refer to as green maritime there was a bit of a folk on the internet of things and smart grid and smart ports using the
9:53 am
technology to improve lodge innings and reduce the emissions with the depiction of vehicle rournz runs and that sort of thing the sister conference the next day a focus that that conference ass on the trends with mega ships but probably won't have to deal with that other than the increase size from the new cruise ships everyone is grappling how to handle the cruise ships and emissions how that impacts the shipping and along those lines more of a discussion about smart ports and cities and have if improvement so there was a discussion of performance standards and medics would be use to improve standards the will logic eric's and technology and how to
9:54 am
navigate in the fog or hopefully know how to navigate already but improve the navigation as part of prior day virtually everyone of the ports highlighted in terms of green port development and shore power the grant of intefkt things and peter daily presented general on what was happening in terms of the port of san francisco what we face is similar to what was faced and i think more than any other find poster of melbourne in the inner setting and having the xifrt of uses along the ports there peter present on the new cruise ship at the conference marcus they economy how fabulous but a great opportunities to renew
9:55 am
some of our contacts with our ports to see what the common problems their struggling with the pollutions that come forward and i can see say, i think that san francisco has a level of respect more than any other ports and certainly i'll not go into all the presentations made but wisp there again with the port of shanghai and others that participated and the popularity conference seeing the relationships getting further cemented was a highlight and then on a toeflt different note the san francisco beetle was in shanghai we were able to welcome the san francisco presence in shanghai that was very well received with a meet-and-greet with some of the representatives from the core and communities
9:56 am
and business leaders that came over from san francisco to be in shanghai they highlighted the port of san francisco and gave us a warm and gracious welcome that's it sxhaltdz i want to thank diane and byron it is funning funny when you get a mixed group of people people come in everybody has their own jandz and sometimes to show the paradox that everybody had not on their own agenda hoping to work with other people to do what is best for the port that was laid out we have to work together being our agenda but the best agenda to try to make
