>> is there a problem? should we move to the next speaker >> okay. next speaker, please. will come back when we get it fixed >> my name is jennifer wade did i live in the mission and six years ago my son was born at uc with a congenital heart defect and can use to receive treatment at ucsf today. it's about okay this arena project would create massive traffic jams in the area around us today on a regular basis. this would be a public health disaster for city children. ucsf is the only nationally ranked children's hospital in the city of san francisco only children's hospital that treats rare condition such as my sons. my son's condition carries a 75% lifetime risk of return. if you would have a stroke prior to it-estimate stuck in traffic with the need to be diverted to a different hospital could mean the difference between a full recovery and permanent disability or even death for

him. we're just one family with a bit of unusual circumstances, the children including previously healthy children shop at ucsf hospital every day with life-threatening emergencies were time is of the essence. in addition, someone who spent months by my sons bedside concern about the impact of arena noise and traffic on long-term hospital patients and families could have it critically ill child in hospital this thing really horrific experience. your child is subjected daily to painful procedures their sleep is disrupted by vital checks monitors and alarms. it almost no control over your environment. during those rare times when you're able to leave the hospital for a quick shower or not there's always the possibility you would get the call your child is taken a turn for the worse need to come back there immediately. now imagine being stuck in arena traffic after you get a call like that. i come from a penn state family have seen percent have a desire to be like about winning team can cause people to turn a blind eye to certain inconvenient truths. i beg you to please take a step back and

think long and hard about what can be gained from this project versus what will be lost. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is -i'm a member of the mission bay alliance. i just want to make a few points regarding the project greenhouse gas analysis in the eir as our leaders aren't parceling up to combat global climate change. the 8900 m of application for this project said the project would emit 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years. that's equivalent of putting 42,500 cars on the road for an entire year. this estimate is not complete as all the greenhouse gas emissions from this project at least [inaudible] also assumes the oracle omissions go down by over 76%. to help address greenhouse gas emissions, they are going to buy offsets but there's no standards for these offsets and they may be uncertified which could cost as

little as one dollar baton and in the project will stay greenhouse gas neutral. unlike other objects and purchase office by the state were purchased locally that have other co-benefits here in san francisco, this project has no requirement. the eir says ignore the faulty analysis in the 8900 application and look instead to the cities greenhouse gas reduction plan in this projects compliance with that. but, according to supreme court case from last week, the project must show the relationship between the project level of reduction in compliance with the city's greenhouse gas reduction plan. since there is no quantitative emission-quantification of this greenhouse gas emissions in the first place there is no way it can show this relationship. thus, the eir analysis needs to be redone to meet minimum

standards. there needs to be a credible quantification of the greenhouse gas emissions. the showing of the relationship to meeting the greenhouse gas plan in the city and then-it's unfortunate while others were too vigorously address climate change we are not doing so in san francisco. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm sorry. >> good afternoon. my name is gerald-i've been in transportation planner and engineer for about 40 years. i'm very familiar with san francisco and with the mta and its practices and policy. i am representing state union today. we support the rejuvenation and improvement of muni and i want to talk about the traffic and parking impacts on that part of san francisco's pride. you heard a little bit of it earlier today. there's a think it's to 25 events a year. there's at least 100 of these events allow over 12,000 people to come to the events muni

carries about 18% of the trips to san francisco and we average suburban county it's more like 5% on transit and the rest on car. so, the idea that you can move a couple of bus lines and maybe even shift some day in the distant future millions of dollars a train line over next to the arena instead of mitigating is going to mitigate against 12,000 people coming in are more to these events for-five times a week, it's fantasy. it's pathetic it's not going to happen. the mitigation program that's been put out in that eir is false. it's not going to do enough. so, if you're going to bring in a terminal or basketball pavilion that to something real to protect the neighborhood. thank you. >> thank you. >> i think we have the video working. this video is intended for the members of the public to see the facts of the case. >> sfgtv.

>> the warriors arena-by the city's own estimate anywhere from-speed video[video] time is of the essence. you can't get through the gridlock. soon, this potentially life-threatening situation may be a reality. a new bass coloring the proposed for mission bay. down the street from at&t park and adjacent to ucsf medical center in the heart of the city's fastest-growing neighborhood. today, we should phase known for its thriving biotech sector. before billion-dollar industry that is great at 21,000 local jobs. if every, ucsf open a brand-new for hospital conducts with a full-service pediatric emergency room. the hospital offers life-saving services

that other nearby hospitals do not. it's a neighborhood on the rise. but maybe not for long. imagine what a friday night would be like when commuters pour in and out of the city get 40,000 fans raced to the giants game at at&t park and more than 18,000 people descend into mission date for a warriors game or concert. gridlock from every direction. eight armageddon o'brien traffic and seven cisco to a screeching halt. less than a mile from at&t park, the warriors arena would devastate the landlocked mission date neighborhood. the city's own estimate, anywhere from 9000-10,000 fans would like to warriors games. we are walled cars go? with only 200 parking spots dedicated to the arena >> thank you very much. next speaker, please.

>> this is just a continuation of the video. >> the patient the conferences could be deadly. located only 1000 feet from the arena ucsf joins er handles about 11,000 emergency room visits per year. imagine a parent raising a sick child to the hospital when immigrants driver with a life hanging in the balance. if even is even one like worth the risk? we say no. no to risking even one life. no to even thousands more cars on city roads and highways. no, to turning surrounding communities into parking lots. join us in opposing the proposed warriors arena. join us in a brighter future for san francisco. >> thank you. >> thank you very much.

speeds next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is rob francis. i live in mission bay. i been there for eight years. i'm an 18 year resident of san francisco. i think the mission bay alliance has been mischaracterized in the media as being millionaire and billionaire who don't want this project. i think that is the furthest from the case. as a resident who lives in the neighborhood and who has to commute every day, i don't see how this can happen. the area around the proposed warriors arena is one of the most traffic heavy in the entire city. with cars making their way to the 101, 280, and the bay bridge every day. i have-i ride on muni most of the time but at times i drive. whether

i'm on the embarcadero or taking one of the side streets, i am already stuck in gridlock every day. to add to that, something that i've noticed in the last probably year is that i know cm nuances writing the muni tracks on the embarcadero. i think this is just insane. there is no way that you can add even more people were more cars coming in or out of the city. i stammer the mission bay alliance in opposing this project and hope that you will reject. thank you. >> enqueue very much. next speaker, please. >> are the consummate these letters of opposition for the record to the clerk. thank you.

my name is we which was a common organizer for the mission bay alliance. there's been a lot of rhetoric from the waterside that there's no community support gun the opposition to this arena. i can tell you this cannot be further from the two. from what you've heard today for a lot of people who could not come out today i've spent the last six weeks talking to people i can tell you vast majority of people oppose this project could think the numbers are beginning to reflect that with a pole that was done yesterday out to the media. less than a majority of people oppose it or in support of this arena. that's down 10% from the warrior said a few months ago. the opposition is growing. i think it's been a very exclusive project which is why more opposition has not come out yet and a lot of ucsf people feel afraid to come out against this project because

ucsf without any input cannot against it so a lot of staff have been, out afraid. a lot of neighborhood numbers have not been included in this price. is been represented move very quickly no time for anybody to read any of the information. so, i cemented over 400 letters of opposition organizing on the streets and over 1800 letters that been sent to the supervisors in opposition to the arena. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good evening everyone. my name is our money just good from the east. i live in richmond. i've really been a warriors authentic and i do not agree with the terms of them moving to san francisco because, i believe, ever since- the role on the team everybody has been looking at them as the

golden treasure and honestly, the being a richmond i can live in san francisco. it's not my choice. i can do it financially. i honestly believe that san francisco is turning into a playground for the rich. so, i just believe that the warriors should not be there. i think that is anarchy as a warrior fans i do wish the best but i don't wish this for them at all. i feel like they should pick a different alternative than mark to build this project is ideal like it'll enhance your the biotech centers because that whole areas actually progressing through the medical field. that's all i have to say. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. first of all, i like to say most of you may not know, disabled american veteran. i thought. i was overseas 31 months during the war. to come back to america to find out that black people

could not be in the teamsters union, to find out i doubt if one of you supervisors here know that there's not one black person that owns a concession in either one of these parts. this is madness. i don't mind if they build the park on every corner, but i think we have a right to be a participant in all of these businesses, and so far, i would like to see the hands of either one of you supervisors when they for candlestick park down, they said black people were participated it ain't happening. they tore it down. you don't understand the problems of black people in san francisco. you think we are a joke. we are not a joke. i fought for this country. i lost a uncle in world war ii. i

demand that you all find out how many of these concessions will be allowed for black people in this city. otherwise, don't build that stadium. i mean, what's so hard to understand about that? we've got black supervisor. we've got black counsel people everywhere. but there's something wrong and we are not it's because i thought it was my duty to serve this country, to return home and find out merely because i was but i cannot work in san francisco. >> next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is-. i've

lived at alabama street and 17th for more than 30 years. so, naturally, i've seen the area go to lots of changes. before this proposal, the it influx and the subsequent shoal parking difficulties and one of the earlier speakers brought up ivan i thought was good point the police and fire department, really, are overloaded the amount of service that they are able to provide. i know this firsthand. so, i mostly opposed to the new arena because of the traffic. i drive as little as possible, but i'm not verbally

disabled and i need to drive to pick up things sometimes. but it's dangerous. it's hard. that's all. i am opposed. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my ms. allen mcinerney. i'm speaking on behalf of parents the child at ucsf. my son benjamin was born may 2020 15th at our home. our goal is one of the minimalistic news. have the baby at home and family around and take your the video home nurture and raise him this community and family spirit. things change first almost immediately after he was born. several defects associated with medical acronyms. mysterious the fact [inaudible] a congenital heart disease. november 24 successfully report open-heart surgery at the children's

hospital. less than 24 hours after his birth we were at the emergency situate a life serving surgery required [inaudible]. i love the bay area sports i love my baby more. i love the warriors are making history as we speak. i love the players are inspiring the youth and professional manner that should be associated with professional on players and romans. the bay area desert system. i can imagine scary sinners with having a pro sports arena residing next to any emergency personnel. the other fact of the matter is and you will be used for other things during the off-season while the team is traveling on the road. if one person was to lose her life because a large crowd is gathering or dispersing in a newly proposed arena was simply be shameful. we are fortunate enough to live in a time when we can save us like never before. give awesome ethical technology. the doctors and

surgeons are taking cheap shots and was medical field. reliving a great time. this of the capability to build great stress. the new home of the worst cannot interfere with the youngest warriors at ucsf. some of them are battling for their lives. please find a better home for the golden state warriors. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is--. my wife and i own a house in the mission. our six-year-old son was born at ucsf with us severe congenital heart defect. he said to open-heart surgeries and numerous other procedures there. they took great care respite we love the hospital and we love san francisco. we've invested our lives in the city. we strongly oppose proposal to build the new warriors stadium across the street from the ucsf children's hospital. our first concern is that if our son has a medical emergency is the only hospital we can go to in the city that

can treat his condition. the traffic in the area is re: bad enough. especially when there's a giants game. we are certain that arena traffic can prevent us from getting our son to the hospital in time to get the care he needs in a medical emergency. second, we are worried about the impact this arena will have on patients and families and hospital. when our son was born, and had his first open-heart surgery five days old, he was in the hospital for more than a month. many families are there longer. having a critically ill child in the hospital is already incredibly stressful experience. asking families to deal with the noise and traffic from an arena on top of everything else they are going to is adding insult to injury. ucsf leadership has been bullied into going along with this plan. in doing so they've let us down. i hope the board of supervisors will be brave enough to stand up for our families and our city against the big-money interest tried to build this arena. money and

entertainment shopper vale at the cost of public safety and quality of life. >> good afternoon. my name is john-my principal at-i've written a report entitled what warriors stadium economics uncertainty and alternatives. i'd like to speak a little bit today about the subsidization of warriors activities in the document that supports the comments thread that i would like to submit. first, they to speak to the a plus million dollars annually that the city will be spending on transit. glee services and dpw service and support of arena events. these expenditures represent a subsidy. the counter argument that those expenditures can be covered by the revenues received from the warriors each year, that's not a compelling arguments. i like to use a quotation by supervisor kim to

back there. the quote reads from our taxpayers expect we use those funds to pay for affordable housing to pay for the services, mental health services to be for munich. not for an event primarily rocketed and promoted a corporate institution did this to the president taxpayers footing the bill for san francisco super bowl l celebration. so, those expenditures despite the fact that covered by revenue represent a subsidy. in my report the bottom line, report, looking at alternative for the land reveals that in an average year, the city will be going between 3.6-$7.4 million aid. over 20 of period that's $163 million. but the city will be foregoing by pursuing the warriors arena instead of perhaps a biotech alternative. indeed many inclusion of offset impacts in particular the hotel and tax occupancy tax revenues

in estimating revenues associated with the arena is improper in this regard. it's been argued of included them in other reports are done for the city. including this offset impacts >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> mdm. president of supervisors my name is eric pringle but my consultant for missionary alliance. i spent the last 22 years of working on hazardous waste and force i am here to talk to you about two of those items and was projects affected the project relies on the 1988 risk analysis and we believe that doctrine to be updated we prepared alternate risk analysis using 2015 standards from the us epa and from the state of california identified 19 hazardous chemicals were both the screen level at the site. what that means the workers and the community as materials are being dug out for the foundation of this project be

exposed to 19 different hazardous chemicals with the project has not identified. we believe the risk analysis provided in the eir is outdated . today, we discovered six of these hazardous camels were found in the storm drains. we provided that information for the record. we believe that the current litigation and best management practices at the site are not being applied are maintained. we brought this to the attention of both the city and the regional water quality control board and identified the failure to consistently eat meat mitigation measures both for ceqa and water. finally, regards the ecological emissions, the applicants identified there was a half acre wetland at the site. they did a very good job of trying to bury that in the documentation. we went out and we observed from the fence line that there was a half acre wetland out there and we think the project needs to get an

army corps engineers permit or analysis demonstrating it's not in fact a federal water. thank you very much. >> next speaker please. >> minus patrick-speaking on behalf of mission bay alliance. regarding the cities approach to mitigating transportation impact. more specifically, the city strategy has been characterizing the transportation management plan transit service plan as components of the project rather than properly treat them as mitigation measures. now, this could seem an academic or hypothetical exercise was real-world implication article here because a lot of lead agencies follow the strategy in order to avoid the specificity and force ability that ceqa imposes upon mitigation measures. at its most basic level, ceqa requires an analysis of potentially significant impacts in a separate analysis

of all feasible mitigation measures to address those impacts. here, the transportation management plan is simply, which was repaired apparently in consultation with the city, well before the eir was prepared to simply unenforceable and how do we know the? it's found on page 100 of the document itself, where it states that the project failure to comply with the specified performance standards means that "the warriors will explore additional strategies". that's it. that's all the warriors are required to do this massive document fails to mitigate traffic. now, the fundamental deficiency with this strategy, i think is addressed by asking the following question: did the eir ever propose simply requiring the warriors to pay for the six new light rail trains that are unquestionably required to mitigate transportation impacts? the

answer is, no. yet any other development of this size and scale would have been-would have included that analysis. with that, thank you for your consideration. >> thank you. next speaker, please. speaker hello. >> my name is i've been a resident of san francisco for 35 years. i followed as carefully as possible [inaudible] alongside the day and i highly respect what has been done by ucsf. as an example of a good project will build. very important for the community, and i think it's criminal to do anything that could prevent this hospital from shutting properly. i also think the consideration of the pollution, the pollution and noise, and light them and the

quality of air has to be really carefully studied, and would be quite problematic it. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i am here for one purpose only. to get recognize. let it go at that. really, when it comes right down to it emergency vehicles coming down polk street. it should be one way, this wake emergency vehicles should have the ability to be with the bicycle lane. to bicycle lanes and emergency vehicles should be able to share it as an idea of mine but maybe there is a place for looking to everybody in this . when i talk about toxicity and everything, under a hospital

in next to a hospital, maybe there's some concern there. he should understand that maybe that monorail system might be better adapted to us in the city and not destroy the infrastructure with these tunnels and every. like in brazil, they don't have any problems anymore their transportation because they went with monorail. we cover monorail hard. we cover real nice city and we could see. not be stuck under the ground somewhere. i really appreciate the supervisors. i'm here because of loss and many other reasons. today is the day that john lennon died. gun violence. other things. this is a hospital and we have to provide them with adequate emergency access. in other words, a bicycle lane in an emergency

room. maybe by pope street. the whole thing could be provided because they always come down against traffic. there could be a bicycle lane there on polk street and one-way traffic on polk street, discrete. it would be a lot better, i think >> thank you. next speaker, please. speaker >> my name is angela thompsons. the bayview hunters point revenue and i served in several capacities through service organizations and boards engagement supporting bayview area in terms of health and was this education youth mentoring economic development environment. my comments today are based on experiences the golden state warriors in their capacity as community stewards, having demonstrated interest and support for local bayview hunters point energy sustainability and

revitalization initiative. when approached to support them science technology engineering and mathematics, educational outreach and power that at the eco-center the newest acquisition to the bay.org portfolio of conservation and a parental programming in bayview hunters point,, the warriors answer our call and set about helping us to exhibit and showcase a response of highly relevant interest of our community related to environmental justice, herman sustainability, and community revitalization. as the eco-center represent san francisco's best example and model for green building and sustainable resource use, and experiential learning, the warriors organization understands that their engagement with neighboring communities is a requirement and expectation for being good community stewards to the diverse array of youth and adults. they recognize their

privilege and obligation to the community and support for pivotal community programs. they have adopted best practices aligned with our community tenants to protect the environment. it is clearly important the warriors breath of resources, that they remain a presence in san francisco to visibly demonstrate community consciousness and how we can better use the environment resources in order to foster ecosystem and healthy economy in our local community. >> thank you. before i moved to the next speaker, i want to remind members of the public, this is an opportunity for those who oppose the project and who support the appellants. there will be an opportunity for those who oppose the appellants and support the project to speak at a later time in this hearing. next speaker, please. speaker >> my name is chris-walker and i'm here to speak on miriam for

modesto california. have you ever had a sick child is not a child about anyone that you had to care for? pivoting from mild cold upwards to an open-heart surgery or radiation treatment is taxing on the caregiver as much as the one who is ill. i once went for days with no sleep while my five-month-old was on-. for those of you don't know, that means the machine was performing his essential functions. wires ports is hard to beat a ventilator forced his lungs to breathe and machine was taking blood from his heart, oxygenating. then put it back into his heart. it's a nightmare for any parents. in a moment i felt like screaming at his doctors, asking why they cannot fix them, i would take a walk in the garden, taking the fresh air and spent a few minutes in solitude. no beeping, new machines, no question conversations about the poor prognosis, and a

hospital stench but if you allow the reader to be built that will be lost for all the other parents and caregivers who need it. they see seek diamonds though here fans stomping booming booing and cheering. please do not deprive them of that and whether feeling deprived there's so much else. thank you. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public who would like to provide comment and support of the appellants? at this time, seen in public, is closed >>[gavel] ? we will move on with this hearing we will have up to 10 min. for representatives of the successor agency for the former redevelopment agency and/or planning department to present their analysis for certifying the eir.? >> good afternoon pres. breed

board members. tiffany poli executive director of the office of community investment and infrastructure. for the successor agency. as you know, the proposed golden state warriors event center mixed-use project, is located in the mission bay south redevelopment project area. oci i is the lead agency under ceqa for ministering environment overviews of mission bay projects and our staff with the assistance of planning government procured through an mou in 2014 has conducted an in-depth and thorough analysis of the potential physical environmental effects of the proposed project consistent with ceqa. oca i believe the final eir provides an adequate accurate and objective analysis of the potential financial impact of the parts. it is sufficient as an informational document. it is correct in its conclusions. that the oci i

commission certification findings are correct. chris curran, from the planning department, will now present additional information on behalf of of oci i. >> good afternoon pres. breed and supervisors. chris curran with the planning department. assisting oci i in the review for the proposed project. before i addressed this issue raised by the appellants, i like to briefly clarify the context for this proceeding today. first, the purpose of ceqa is to provide for informed decision-making about how project or action, if taken, could affect the environment. the standard for ceqa is not perfection. rather, it is a good faith effort to provide for a complete, accurate, and adequate under the law analysis of potential environmental effects. in this case, oci i as

lead agency exercising independent judgment has certified and eir based on the determination that the subsequent eir needs that standard of review. to overturn oci eyes determination on its appeal be powered with you to demonstrate to your satisfaction that oci i certification of the subsequent incremental impact report does not supported by substantial evidence in the record. disagreements between the experts and attorneys for the appellants about certain conclusions,, methodologies used in the eir,, objections to certain aspects about the project, concerns about the projects environment telefax, and critiques of the methodology used in the eir are not valid grounds for overturning oci eyes

determination that the eir meets the requirements of ceqa. staff and ceqa consultants have reviewed the materials, cemented by the appellants attorneys, and experts, both in their appeal and their subsequent briefings to the appeal, which were voluminous. as well as the materials at the appellants have cemented into the record just over the last few hours. all of the issues raised in these documents are fully responded to in writing in the documents previously provided to you by oci i both in the eir, response to comments document, and the appealed response and our subsequent brief response. then, lastly, i'd like to just touch

briefly on some of the key issues that were raised in testimony today. department, staff, and our consultants are available to delve deeper into any of these topics. first, also just for studying the contacts both for your benefit and for that of the members of the public, again, the function of the eir is to disclose the potential environmental effects of the project and clearly, one of the key issues of the project of this nature is its impact on transportation and traffic. the eir doesn't script those issued. it includes an in-depth and thorough analysis based on the methodology that the city employees [inaudible] throughout the city. and the expertise and the professional judgment of those planning

department staff and our expert ceqa consultants. the conclusions reached in the eir about the topic transportation impacts of the project is that there would be significant impacts. the mitigation measures identified in a great deal of work that's gone into evaluating how best to mitigate traffic and transit impacts of the project. i would also note that a lot of comparisons are drawn to the transportation system impacts of the giants stadium in comparison with this project. it's important to note the eir consider the impacts of overlapping events at john's events at the stadium and events at the event center. it took also important to know that

the event center is less than half the size, half the capacity of the giants stadium. so, while that assessment of overlapping impact is critically important and was thoroughly addressed in the document, i think it's important context to know the much smaller center, or venue, then the giants stadium. now, let me get into a few of the specifics. first, a lot has been said by the project opponents by the analysis location in the eir. so, the transportation analysis appropriately included in intersections in freeway ramps in the project vicinity and along most likely to be affected by project generated vehicle. the analysis locations were chosen because they represent the primary gateways but the finances for the southern portion of mission bay. third, fourth, 16th and mariposa streets. the uneasy race topic is broadly dispersed throughout the street grid

which provides multiple routes to travel to any given destination. beyond mission bay daybreak traffic analysis would focus on key locations the direct access roads to and from these theories. the response to common document included additional traffic analysis of the intersection of eighth and granite in stock market. this intersection was selected primarily because location in close proximally to ied ramps and is along the axis wrote to mission bay south market in the market to eighth street. the results of this intersection level surface conducted an evening and late evening conditions and overlapping games do not entered by any project impact that particular intersection. other intersections to the east and north suggested by the appellants would be even more remote to project site and looks nice more dispersed project related traffic on those. likewise, since the

publication of the draft eir and response to comments document nine intersections south of mariposa affecting the dogpatch and--neighborhood were evaluated and impact analysis, is reported in the eir statement that impacts on those neighborhoods were not addressed in the eir. now, primary to the issue for this project arts impacts on the ucsf hospital. emergency vehicle access to the hospital. a great deal of work, again, was done by the team to evaluate and device for mitigation measures. the propose project impacts on emergency access

including emergency vehicle access private pre-summer, fired apartment and ambulances to the medical center were conducted and are disclosed in the eir and access to medical center is a focus of the impact discussion. implementation of the transportation management plan station of pco's, parking control officers, before and after the event and ran transit only lanes would facilitate emergency vehicle access in the project vicinity. the city, project sponsor and ucsf have developed a local hospital access plan which was incorporated into the project to ensure that inbound access to mission bay area by residents, employees, and ucsf staff during the weekday six-7 pm [inaudible] and the maximum inbound project demands expected to occur, which consists-which overrides what you see is a staff shift is not

essentially affected as a result of traffic. i'm running out of time so if you have questions about that staff can provide much more detail about the local hospital access plan. likewise, staff is prepared to respond to questions you may have about testimony provided that the greenhouse gas analysis. i can ensure you that the greenhouse gas analysis is consistent with both the standard methodology that the city uses and there have been supported by the bay area or management district would also look at the recent supreme court case mentioned by counsel for the appellant, and have determined that her methodologies are consistent with the court's advice on a recent case. thank you. staff is available to respond to questions. >> thank you. supervisor kim?

thank you. i do have a couple questions. you speak of do have a couple questions for staff. i think it's only been the biggest question and point of discussion in our neighborhood. while most people are excited about the arena and of course are very supportive of our undefeated warriors team, the biggest question is always been, how can we as a city handle the influx of people that are going to come for our events and concerts? i believe this was a question for sfmta. if you can walk us through a little bit in terms of how you assess the mitigation? then, kind of the plan moving forward i hope we can work on this speaker if you can also touch on how the arena is working to reduce the hit dealer traffic through the game. i think that would be great. finally, this

came up a lot in public comment, how you are working with ucsf to ensure very importantly, a residence and ucsf patients are going to be with to receive the critical care they may need in times of emergency? speaker thank you. peter albert from mca. supervisor that i left out one of the-go free to promise. >> was her with the overall conservation strategy because i think that's the right approach. so much work has been done even before we required the incremental review to office identified negation measures will recall the transportation management plan. in my sense of experience working on the projects in the city to have that much more work done upfront solid homes before they even identified as potential mitigation measures. it gives us a huge leg up because we actually get built this into the dna of the project. we still use the markets overview to make sure were looking at the potential impacts for the

jumpstart here have been on some of the big issues that we really care about. do we also the capacity of muni because rapine enough extra streetcars to handle the crowd? with you about the nimbleness of the light rail system to make sure when there's an event people get to and from the baby but probably not by streetcars? the park itself is it big enough to handle what happens at the hospital and the warriors arena. luckily, the answer is yes, yes, yes all three of those because were able to form the capital investments is mimi took this project work better. even thought about most people would never think about like what happens when is a giants game and warriors game into banks of electric operator light rail vehicles are waiting to queue up? does that overpacked our electrical supply system to get because that limit we built in to the capital investment of this project the extra power capacity was substation we actually would love to use him if there was not a warriors arena. some hoping so was a week plus the traffic mitigation measures, the implementation of parking control officers, learning very much from what we wish we had done more with the giants all

part. the bicycle network. discussed in the network at this project helps close. the cycle type on the boulevard is part of this network in part the project shape. i'm beginning to the mitigation measures and say, above and beyond the looking at all the intersections identified those south america was a market, the vicinity of mission they were the poems and what we can do to mitigate this. you can see the transportation mitigation measures takes a strong base and builds into the strategies. what i would like to talk about i think it's an excellent is how we make sure that people need to get to the hospital when there's an event or two events, make sure their axis is prioritized. there were not, rising public safety. we have that on some egos but let's say we start with the extra transit and the traffic mitigation measures that we did as part of the project and when we analyze the mounds of review. what we found, we still need to do more. if i can switch to the over, i think i want to show you what we call the local

hospital access plan and some of the basics of how that will function for accommodating the chest rotation needs of this area. at that graphic. let me walk you through easy. you see, first of all, the basic streets in red) is because we know [inaudible]. was also the streets a lot people we taken to the parking facility that serves the arena. it's important to point out? excuse me. you many copies of that because my overhead is not working. i cannot see.? yes. sure we can first do. >> thank you.? perhaps you can e-mail this to the ports we can put up on our computers?? >> it's actually a also important for the public to see it so i want to make sure we have? i don't use the graphic was being copied them and no one's looking at it. i was 10

ago is important part of our analysis that does not require the monitor. it's making sure we are using the state-of-the-art transportation strategy when you get a hospital near an event center. we thought this might not be the first time that ever happened. we did that study we found 12 american cities that major hospitals within a half-mile much closer to victory, than what we see here. some of the cities that we looked at were los angeles, boston, chicago, pittsburgh, miami. in los angeles, it's not just one entertainment center. there's three major ones. staples. there's a sports venue. two large entertainment venues, all within a block of the only 24-7 trauma ctr. in the city of los angeles. the pittsburgh would have to hospitals right next to both if you pittsburgh right by the football stadium. look at new orleans would have to hospitals two health centers near super

bowl dr. we look at minneapolis which is kind of amazing because minneapolis is building a brand-new football stadium directly kitty corner from a major hospital. what we found is that none of those have anything like a local hospital access plan. so we got to indent how this should be done. make a note with the graphic? let's go back to this one. what we did we look at the street network to get people to and from from the warriors arena. one emphasize the parking provisions is not the next rental fees. it's defined to minimize the amount of traffic that's coming right to the heart of this area. so the bees intercept parking. these the facilities around mission bay facility. we have two other parking facilities that are going to be part of this agreement. still, people are going to try and come close to the center of the arena. we know that. we also want to make sure people who arrive at the critical medical shift about the same time an event might be happening can use the streets

to bring them to the front door of the ucsf. this graphic shows the streets close partnership with ucsf. they agreed would help make sure nurses to get to and from where there from the artery to the hospital. we had thereby the streets in the blue network. they include four. nelson rising. they include oceans of owens right off -bye-bye mariposa. we also divide streets were conclusive.patch stock patch commission rate is there time to get north and south and they lived-is there not to real the dozen, mice access to the warriors arena. owens and the being back onto. it works well for north south axis but is industry that helps people, not to get to the front door. now, covering streets on a map is one thing. making sure we staff events we have a variety of us, we staff those intersections the people safely get to know where they need to go what drudge and warriors pages to

the parking facility has been a huge success could supervise, you know in your neighborhood, which we done with the pilots on the pco is partnering with police. great market that taught us a lot. we have your multicolored stars because there's layers of when we need him. the mostar's and the most extensive situation with is a giants game and warriors at the same time, we know that not every event is a big number so we want to be smart. this good prone to make sure not to send in our budget between every day as if it's a 19,500 person event. the beauty of this is that we put the stars within also showed us with a mighty problems. we have, though, is flexibility and revenue. that makes the difference. the revenue coming in my colleagues can talk about to find how we support conservation plans we need and work closely with cost estimates of the pco, transit service, maintenance. we have that red start right by the warriors arena that transportation management center. we can deploy these pco's where they need to be. the product good input

from.patch high that would like pco help south of mariposa. you see some stars because of a chance pco,, parking control officer and warriors pco. we had a good make sure we can put more of them down there if that's where attention is in. finally, the cost of all those stars on that map while those human beings unblocking the box of traffic is not the complete cost that we will to recoup through the revenue. so, later in this conversation you are going to be able to talk more about this lockbox model which helps make sure the revenues come and go to exactly discuss transportation strategies. one thing i did not cover which is probably at the starting point, but i did waited because i think you want to get to the nuts and bolts, is the broader functionality of this part of town. we heard criticism but

the transit only lanes on the 16th record. it's actually going to make a 22 more reliable and higher capacity are more freedom. so the transit only event this is like a dream come true. this was transit only railways. these are already used by emergency vehicles. there's a public health center on third street allows and and fire engines to get to and out. to read streets you see on this map 16th and third, intersect at exactly the intersection where the warriors arena and hospital. those stars, are humans that are trained to up emergency cases get onto those emergency railways they need to. you don't need a flashing light and a must help someone who is an emergency situation get bypassed way by the pco who aggrandize the

situation a good half-mile. bring them to the front door. there's nor the hospital in san francisco i note that is transit only railways that double as emergency vehicle axis length north-south and east-west directions. so this basic landscape, this use of transit railways to help with emergency, minimum the supporting pco's where they need to be moving around with a actually need to be when the transportation management center is in operation insurance what's happening the rest of the country with these juxtapositions happen, and any other metrics are going to the local hospital access plan that we work so closely with ucsf that we would monitor how long it takes to take these blue street networks to get to the front door, we would do this legislate and carefully electric certain threshold yet to do much more. that is a mitigation measure. that's what we are obligated to do. but that helps everybody. a nurse the nose that makes this much action time to get there would be supported by the pco ms. transit network and these exclusive traveling. we don't wait for it to happen we use that transportation to deploy the extra pco's where they need

to go. if over the course of your weser problem using because of modern information is data rich, were able to make sure we step up the plan. so, i'm only scratching the surface of how complex this local hospital access plan is, but i cannot be at this point described with such confidence did work in partnership not only with ucsf with a mission date businesses and residents also benefit from the strategy. so not taking up any more time and with those more questions i'll be happy?? >> you had talked a bit about the local access road which will be cleared just for vehicles going back, going toward the hospital and i know this came up we met but i would hope you talk about deliver how the enforcement for that would happen and also the signage would look like the original i

would understand them and i cannot drive to those roads unless i was going to miss those not going to the arena? thank you. is sort of a soft and hard control? >> identifies check over the capacitor will the heart heart controls. some of the intersection such as the seventh and mission bay boulevard just west of the freeway or even the topic center there. those are pco's helping unlock the box. keeping traffic longer than our requiring checks did the check should be required when you're on the streets getting closer to the hospital could you don't have business there looking fine aye. we don't want you to do we want the nurses be able to get. that's where the batching works. the agreement with ucsf overexcited about is that they are going to make sure the employees know the schedule events happen. other badges will have this understanding and hear some great feedback. the people on the life sciences

community around their already know are pco's by name. the human relationship with people like monica-singled out the someone's been resourceful and helpful. these are people who know what to do. the know-how to be nimble but the situations and report on record basis. so, when we get the system worked out with the shift regulars and they know the scheduling, we imagine that this is going to be a clockwork operation. >> that's great in terms of ensuring that hospital workers are going to be able to get in and out of through the neighborhoods would also have a lot of residence that are walking local axis was and also when there are arena attorneys that do use these roads, how are you going to enforce against that type of behavior? >> the blue street identifiers are for that reason. especially nelson rising and forth become the core of the hospital campus. but the stock closure is to keep the periphery those are people-they are not necessarily

been told you to prove you living with her sanest if you're going to the arena this is where to go. >> people on the street sanest. >> that target also permits us to help direct that so people can fall the notion without human necessarily to direct him? the back side of john i would not understand. local access road only doesn't mean anything to me. >> if i was going to the rhino arena as a i did know that no that since the arena is the city locally. is there a way we can better >> absolute. because the arena opens in 2018 we can work on clarity and testing. rashly trying to do some attesting using transit railways for emergency vehicle accident if we wanted it only was right that the merely intuitive and understand what it could be we could find no to define axis without [inaudible] this is the timeout this country back to make it sure we got it right.

we have to show you [inaudible] >> i think that's most important thing that can have some level of direction that actually make sense. if it does make sense to a city supervisor i don't see else can make sense to an arena attendee. provide the feedback months ago. i was hoping that we would have some iteration now and not be able to do that after the vote. >> be assured it's about legibility and signs will work >> not legibility it's understanding >> we go problems of legend appeared >> absolutely. >> yes. >> thank you. supervisor cohen >> thank you. mr. albert, clearly you've studied this and you know it like the back of your hand get i can appreciate that. bipartisan math some questions you party just answered so i'm going to go through my questions and the really stem from the dogpatch neighborhood association in a particular letter that called

out some concerns they have them going to talk about in the hearing today. i'm going to raise on their behalf today. so far received the dogpatch neighborhood association v wrote us a letter and a all-time concerns primary with some of the potential chance rotation impacts in the neighborhood from the arena. it states that no traffic analysis has been conducted.patch neighborhood now, i believe it has been but i want to give you an opportunity if you could describe the type of analysis that you undertook just for the record? >> sure. i met you in partnership with adam-globally chordate the anonymous overview, so the be hearing cases of the questions about any of the part of mta >> i definitely have other questions. thank you, adam. >> thank you supervised adam office of workforce development. we sent a letter in response to dogpatch to you

each of you yesterday but quickly in summary, the initial draft incremental subsequent of our mental impact report looked at 22 intersections that we thought might have potential significant impacts. this allows locations of the parking control officers that peter represented with the stars on the local hospital access plan map. we did look to the neighborhoods in south of mariposa good the predominant access is through regional connections so the i 280 n. offramp at mariposa. third street 16th st. and others but we subsequently, look at two different parking lots south of the site. one between crane co. part in the future peers 70 one between crane co. part in the future peers 72,001 just north of pure 80 on western pacific site. an additional parking analysis of those two locations and appendix p rx look at nine additional intersections south of mariposa along corridor to

axis >> we say look at intersections what exactly are you looking for? >> and looking at the intersections we start with data from oracle arena based on patron data point of origin where they're coming from and where they're going to. we just those for san francisco based on san francisco logistic experience at at&t park and other special events. were looking at the mode share in the document and for those who not be taking transit or car sharing services, or biking taking other modes, where would they be coming from, what are the primary axis points. from the south it's largely off of the 280 off ramps and off of third street. a number of the residential streets the dogpatch neighborhood either do not go fully through our interrupted honoring the basis i stop signs intersections, etc. so while we think i handful of cars might go through their our traffic

analysis suggests less than 3% of total vehicles will be on those residential streets and that really we should be focusing our attention on the regional collectors, which will be the primary axis roots the mother parking garages. >> one of the points the letter also raises it has to do with study it all conducted, on south of mariposa. s. of mariposa st. did you study that area? >> yes, we did. we looked at all likely transit to the arena and then as part of the appendix trx of the supplemental eir in volume 6, look at the following nine additional intersections: pennsylvania i 27 offramp, 18th , 18th and i 280 northbound offramp, third and 20th, pennsylvania, and i 280 southbound,, indiana and 25th and i 280 northbound, third and 25th, pennsylvania cesar chavez

and the i 280 n. palm and illinois consumer cesar chavez >> if you look at these intersections using data modeling? >> corrected our transportation analysis here today so they analyzed the length of the traffic signal. the capacity of the roadway network. other background conditions so there's rush-hour or other events in the area. and look at those intersections that would have a significant impact in terms of travel delay. that's where we assigned a parking control officers. but we get it in ways we get it right and responsive real-time condition. we reckon eyes were doing a traffic analysis here in 2015 are event that will be operational in 2018. there could be significant changes in technology and in mode shifts.

we need to be flex will to do that. swimming on-site transportation management center with the document occasions of the parking control officers they can be redeployed as need. so, if we find one of those stars is misplaced needs to be shifted to a different location >> enough flexibility. earlier, early this year and the last year, there was an ongoing discussion about the mission bay loop. as you know, the mission bay loop has been a pretty contentious proposal that comes from mta. i was wondering, if you consider the mission bay loop or how does the mission bay loop, which is for the folks in the audience, mta has proposed the key line to come down to a certain point on thursday and loop around back to going to the system to relieve pressure in other areas of the city. how does the mission bay loop complement or even, i assume it, miss or maybe it doesn't-with the key line some of the proposals

were doing without? at that time and mission bay loop we were not thinking about a stadium and arena being built. can you- >> might be tricky to talk about some aspects because it's under injunction right now we're assume the mission bay loop to component the central subway. what that meant was re-created next intensity of light rail service to the mission bay loop, which is that third and between 18th and 19th and chinatown. so, you would get two layers of service. oddly to the bayview and then service shoreline to the mission baby. of course for the arena's position north of that helps benefits the full extra services there. the assumption is also included in the operation. if you questions or concerns about the capacity for light rail this actually helps the double capacity of that service and increases frequency. the mission bay loop design is to give nimbleness and extra service coverage on a corridor respect there to be

more demand. >> a few more questions around transportation and city planning. so, the city related crate a lot of the congestion and that about what's happening in the southeastern corridor. largely, created to the eastern neighborhood plan as well as the peers 70 master plan. i want to hear your thoughts around the ceqa analysis. if it took into account the kim would've impacts of both these developments? >> for that i turn to my colleague chris- >> chris current planning to moment to answer the question, yes, the impact analysis did consider all the surrounding developments that could contribute to impacts the project would also contribute. now, that said the impact analysis is specific by topic as to what irrelevant is considered to be relevant to the

back and also. >> what are some of the key topics that comes your mind? >> charlie traffic anticipation impact arche and some of the impact analysis projected growth and model of the city [inaudible] throughout the city. >> in a projected growth did you take into consideration the almost, i guess, but several different development projects that are underway, in the pipeline and then also possible future once? >> yes. if we want to get deeper into the methodology of the transportation analysis, i like to bring a colleague whose it transportation league for the planning department. he's more familiar with the nuts and bolts of the transportation analysis methodology.

>> that would be great. comment present. i think, if we were to look at a project as an individual and as it stands on its own, it's okay but when i do believe when we start to look at the kim would've impacts peers 70 is a huge project, as you know the voters approved last year. there are other major projects also being currently developed and redeveloped in the area. so, i am concerned about this kim would've traffic impact it could help relax my concerns? >> bill-plans about some you may remember my former life as well. the keynote of his done kind of as a similar way it's done most projects for transportation. we have a lot of projects in the pipeline, specific ones we know about. we also growth forecasts that are based on the economics of the region and san francisco, and the traffic transit and other transportation components essentially taking into account the project. the specific

projects window. the details of those specific projects like peers 70 which is in very close proximity, as well as the potential of projects that we don't have specific details, but we know there is this envelope of growth out there that's going to happen in a geographic area. so, when were doing the transportation analysis, would taking all that into account to salvage the kyoto. an example would be when we looked at the secondary parking facilities, like your 80, and we saw a significant impact over on the freeway ramp on pennsylvania, those impacts that the arena, if we operate this parking facilities for joint events will contribute to those significant impact. but the primary source of that index is peers 70. because peers 70 has a direct pipeline to their. so, it's it peers 70 is a good example. the project

is out there. it's very specific. this is transportation analysis already underway and allows us to get to the localized details will be have the localized details as well as accounting for this bigger picture. both are pending but with the details are not as specific. so, you're generally going to assign traffic and transit riders to a geographic area to account for the cumulative impact >> thank you. i'm going to give it back to come i think mr. albert this is for you. now, you know we've had many conversations about-and you know how to about the good supervisor tang also. the members here, and the public, i hate switchbacks. switchbacks that he line going southbound into the city and then they switch back into the other parts to go to the other parts of the city to relieve traffic. rendering the people on the t

line to get home. so, i want to ensure that were not exacerbating the t locket when i read the plan and the analysis looks like it will help alleviate switch back problems. >> thank you. i want to point out i am a writer so extends the downside of that economic it wasn't just my own personal interest in making sure it never happens to me. we heard about all the time that john. the promise we don't provide the extra capacity, what happens is we have to make a hard decision to post regard the other was once [inaudible]. we built that into our service plan should work. that's why we looked at crowding factor and figure out-the streetcars are expensive-if we knew we would have a partnership we want to make sure they're covered in the revenues. we came up with for streetcar sets. that comp

saws offset the need to take any of the train out of service on even the biggest event day because those four cars would not be possible expert agreement we have with the provision of the event center. that means, two thirds the need to go down to the bead you don't have to turn around because wrapping a big crowd over there. that's what we augmented our fleet with those four cars >> we talked about the north-south transportation with the t. let's talk what the east west transportation from the 16th and mission bart station. how have we enhanced the coaches traveling on 16th and 17th? >> if i could have the overhead. usher you into question a great starting point when you look at the problems in the area rainout you know what you know. you know it other than what we want to make sure the 20 team to understand the conditions today including the difficulty of going

east-west, what will happen between now and say 2018-2019 when investments are place in what more do we need to handle the event center. east-west traffic is a bit time. the graphic right now shows we took a snapshot by 2020. that includes 22 fillmore the runs on 16th st. east-west. it also includes the connections to local bart stations. the existing service goes to embarcadero. this 16th st. corridor of cisco 216 two. unlike at&t park with is a critical mass of people around the embarcadero, we spread the burden onto different bart stations. however, the analysis is we need to do more. so this next traffic, to put on their shows what more it can look like. building onto the backbone of all this infrastructure were going to run extra muni buses next muni trains. most like the shuttles we do for at&t park. we know we need to run more tea from the mission bay loop to chinatown.

it is there pretty quickly because of the subway. we keep that line on the embarcadero and extended down into the arena center on a posting event people conduct near the waterfront and we augment not only the 22 fillmore the runs on 16th st. we take advantage of the parts line which goes north-south in the western part of the city and we plug a line from that part always from the marina through the van ness metro station through south of market into the mission along the mission. we are reaching so many different access points for people all over the city you could probably make this trip to the arena with no transfer or at least one to a high-capacity high-frequency system. >> are people going to be able to use this transportation system when there are no games being played? >> you identified-we talked about when he do for an event center to make that happen we had to go capital facility. those capital facilities help us run even if there's no event. the flexibility the expanded platform is something we wish to have done from the beginning and were doing it now. baxter streetcars can be used

anywhere in the city we need extra capacity. but were not jump starting stuff that's already wider to have it would taking advantage of investments rebuilds and using them to the maximum efficiency. >> fair enough. one of the things that piqued my interest and answer my question already, was how well thought out the pco answer is. we talked about congestion, potential congestion on public transportation, but there is a reality of folks i live in the neighborhood. i live in the trail. the place is already congested as it is right now with cars on the street and bicycles. so, it is comforting to hear that toby enforcement. this pco enforcement, again is a something standard or is it something that's on game days or when there are an event at the arena?

>> we defined the pco plan for the events. they're not game days. something would happen if you there's a small event. i think you might've seen as a product as of right events that trigger different response did >> what are those triggers? do you think this is something we could implement on every day -? the transportation management center is an operation everyday. it creates a new gravity in the heart of mission bay there is not one now. it's state-of-the-art cameras, safety mechanisms. because he was happening at intersection with allows our whole staff much as part control officers but transit operators abase. what they need to know is the variety of events and size building this into our schedule to make sure we can staff up for the events we know are going to happen and staff down when we need to be more lean. so, i think that's an important part. it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. >> does this require hiring or is this a job generator were talked about or opportunity for local higher? q ari have the

staff? >> it is an opportunity to our. it's a challenge-we know what we need now we have to identify the revenues. this lockbox conversation is so incensed. the revenues only here because of the event center and dedicated to this local source help us make sure these needs we've identified have actually human beings showing up. >> i think we might've exhausted my list of questions. just double checking. i think that's it. there was something the appellant brought up about it $8 million annual expense. is this accurate? someone from mta could >> this? >> alternatives back over to adam-who slain the revenues >> thank you, mr. alberts. >> adam-from the office of economic workforce development. there's an item later on your agenda and ordinance great

omission mission bay improvement fund will be can walk through the specific details of the sources and uses on the site. i'm happy to go into that at a high level now? i think my question is, with the appellant correct in saying this in a million-dollar annual expenditures? >> there is an annual cost of providing the extra parking control officers, trained service and bus service sectors, plus foot patrol officers and the occasional street sweeper, plus the capital cost purchasing the extra light rail vehicles and make and implement mr. albert is described >> fair enough. is there an opportunity for us to leverage and guests regroup some of the expense that we are spending on making this operation reality? as folks come to the arena for different event? how do we offset that? is old warriors

are paying to the feed that's going towards this part i guess was mta budget? >> yes, they are. the warriors are paying all the required taxes and fees. there are no property tax or sell stocks or any other waivers on site. the pain. freight of the transportation development fee which is offsetting the cost of some the capital improvements. they're also paying an annual fee which is called the stadium mission tested? do you happen to know what those fees are? with a total keynote of amount is? >> the transportation-about $79 >> annalee were one-time? one-time basis when they get their construction base is also the city tax is a $2.25 costs on the dollar value of each ticket. so it's an annual cost as part of the reason why this

project generates a lot more on-site revenue? if the warriors continue to get prices will continue to be high which means there'll higher searchers though go buy into our transportation systems? biju the surcharge is a flat $2.25. >> it is protected. >> i tried. i'm going to get. let me see if there's anything else on my questions. i drove one more about the map about the project area the appellants raised issues or questions about the dina maps and mapping out the different project areas. specifically, it's the funky little configuration. how did you come to that area? >> either no fear the best person >> i can give it a try graphing a project team might do it better. >> okay. >> again, i ask bill-

transportation lead to spend the transportation study area. he has the details of that better than i do. >> bill lico. i cannot mistake it >> let me speak louder for you, bill. but the funky configuration of the study area. jagged. this blue area. i was wondering if you could explain to me how you came up with this? >> first of all, i was involved in the project.. so are the vested interest in defending it or not, but how was, which is basically said partly related to what i said early. talk about cumulative with specificity on some projects, but in this area of mission bay what you have is some very clearly defined gateways from the north you

can, from from the west of numb from 16th and mariposa. from the south thursday. there's ways that somebody that really knows the streets can come in and we accounted for that. so, the study area is basically defined by these gateways. at those gateways, the topic is focused. that's where most of the intersections we studied art at the gateways in the immediate proximity of the project. once you get beyond those gateways, how can you get to fourth at king? well, you can come down forth from harrison. maybe from howard. maybe on brand. maybe on tauzin. so, the problem then the appellants are pointed out, really with her logic is they identify about 100 intersections we should've studied. once you move beyond those gateways there's a whole lot of different ways people

can travel. at the gateways and within mission bay, there's very limited ways people can travel. so the area is basically defined by those gateways. there's nothing sinister or clever about it, other than its big screen trying to identify where you can track that people will be not trying to make broad guesses that all the people to be on the embarcadero or all the people are going to be going? receive i can? let me see if i can look at the numbers you that the data that is how you came to identify the topic area? >> rape you we did in response the eir, debbie's 90 intersections said you should look at these. we looked really carefully at each and every one of those and we looked at a 10-go to google and gula says

these bait go to a good brand. to look at aidan brennan because even if you are coming from east bay and getting off the entrance a logical place to people go through, to the western part of the city am a we looked at that. he added that. the balance raising other concerned about the embarcadero? there were materials that were just developed to look at the two worst intersections on the embarcadero. >> okay. >> again, no store. 60-70 cars no significant impact. i think the point of that is, we looked at a broader area and specific places where you think it might be a problem. we are not seeing the problem. essential because the topic is dispersed as you move further away from the site. the study area is basically defined to focus on where the impacts are concentrated and not just

drawing a big geographic area and same summer in this big glob that might be an impact. >> thank you. i appreciate all the city staff has taken them time to answer my questions matter present, i'm done.? i do have some environmental questions but i'll save those for later. a question for the project sponsor and appellants but the appointed time i can wait? >> supervisor avalos >> i have a question. we've heard a lot about ways we studied this project in different ways we can mitigate the impact but i'm going where interested in hearing what is the quantifiable impact? with the difference we are going to see, let's say to her muni lines , quantifiably? are we actually going to see based on what you're able to apply with the mitigation measures, benefit or even despite our mitigation measures are we going to see delays? what is

the measure with that sort gets down- >> we talked about muni lines one of the most important mitigation thresholds is overcrowding. so there's a flow traffic which we talk about global service, a through f but that does impact the operations of traffic. here we have the benefit of these railways were that's not really as much an issue but would be an issue is undersigned a transit pass the threshold of mta that says about this your grievance significant impact because the transit to cover people even to get on. that analysis is though thresholds i could lead on my colleagues city plan to identify the threshold. we provided up to them. our responsibility today was to make sure we need more capacity we have those extra buses, extra streetcars. we need to procure more fleets. so, >> my question is, are we getting overcapacity? and how

often? in your measurements? i am also interested, not just in the capacity of the cars themselves, but also of online spiel to move people in terms of frequency and preventing delays? >> getting close to the first of the mitigation measures hopeless say what that threshold was. stay below it. sorry december the question? the second part is based on looking at delays because despite big issue measures are the delays, how would that affect our headways were muni lines? if you go line by line. edward talk about the 22 >> i'm concerned about not just people who are getting to the arena but the people getting past the arena from one end to the other because on the t line to get to downtown. the going past it. what is the

expense going to be based on what your measures have been? >> we start with analysis were we had capacity to faulty strengths and make sure we had enough of them running to keep our headways. the advantage we have is when the biggest events are happening they tend to be in the post-the event centers start at 7-730 and even a pm and appeared remiss the peak of the peak but better than that, is the reverse commute prevents. except for the t we have a lot of people coming from downtown you've got a lot of trains that are coming into downtown, the command fairly empty and taking commuters home out to the outlying areas. there coming from the north west for south by the city on part, on duty on coltrane you got more capacity, especially with these later hours. the food itself could've been a

challenge but after about 6:30 pm and before the event really kicks in, we start to retire are free because the biggest numbers already done their heaviest lifting. especially where when we can keep some vehicles in operation beyond that threshold to get us into 7-7 7:15 pm event is at 730, 8 pm we have a whole bunch of fleet buses and trains we can pull right back out of the art and we do that already. we don't have problems with congestion in the corridor provided the mitigation measures that divide allow the flow but can we be huge head start is to the critical transit arterials obsolete protected from traffic condition at 16th and third street. >> vastly protected from traffic? >>) doing the other vehicles that are on them can be emergency vehicles. >> so my question was, whether quantifiable difference and if you're able to-i mean, you talk about ways you could mitigate changes. you can mitigate

impacts but what are we going to see in terms of quantifiable difference in headways and use it got closer capacity. i guess that closely answers my question, but really, one are we seeing improvements based on order some delays based on what were going to see in terms of people coming to the arena? >> again all handed to advocate i just want to point out why we do this one too, without it we gave him the data it he bounced back with the results and helped us make sure that if we give him our most rigid standards about overcrowding or missing headways gives us translate that with the help of the planning department into performance. >> i have the luxury of focusing on one nominee projects of this intent. the to answer question supervisor avalos or fourfold increase in service and that's when to be

the workhorse. therapy the future central subway connection to take the most passages by trans. were also proposing arena specific special along 16th st. connected the future dns part from the event center to the translate terminal and the ferry terminal expansion on embarcadero street bart complement in the t when we reach the train on the existing underground platforms and adding extra service. the reason behind the mission bay transportation improvement fund, item 66 on your agenda today, it's with the funds aside in a controllers reserve so we can fund all the costs of all the transit service without impacting any parts of the service. we absolutely do not want to cannibalize service from elsewhere in the city. we recognize people take transit to get to school, day care, work to run errands, and we cannot afford to put service on writing the basis away from

their as we occasionally do for one-off large events in san francisco. >> don't we have some level of cannibalization with giants games? i have the experience of going to giants games on muni and i do see limited service elsewhere. it is not entirely limited but it's limited. as with the experience of going on-coming back from games suck. i don't go north or west to the western part of san francisco the notes for a much to catch a train going north and west versus south, and a vast expense switchbacks even went back from giants games. so, we learned some things from that experience and that's actually going to improve transit opportunities for people? is plenty of people that don't go to the games as well and are very inconvenienced even right now by the games.

>> yes. there's two problems that happen at the giants game the way it is not. we do in building the track for civility that allows the trains to get on. if you try to catch your time behind behind acute streetcars that are unloading passengers but that's part of the reason the crossover tracks and that platform reconfiguration is something that helps women lovely the giants. the other factor, those for light rail vehicles were defined especially to make sure the crowds absorbing remember the warriors arena at the highest 19,000-18,500 where is the giants are 42,000 seat stadium. the smaller number to work with and yet were uniquely in this project providing extra cigars to accommodate that smaller number. >> i think we'll get to discussion about the fund is up it i do have concerns that are raised with you directly about how it was. i'll speak on that

when it's the first >> thank you. see no other names on the roster, we will move to the presentation from the real party in interest to you will have up to 10 min. to make your case for certification of the eir. >> thank you, supervisors and good afternoon. i probably had to pinch myself this morning to think this day would actually would really come. it within 3.5 years since accepted the city's invitation to the warriors back from san francisco and were thrilled in those 3.5 years we've earn the opportunity to be before you to get a think the only thing that has not changed in those 3.5 years is aaron peskin is still hiking in nepal? can you please identify yourselves >> i am-golden state warriors.

what we've engage in is not exactly as exciting a winner pascual team in rewriting the history but i think it approaches the very same way in terms of our team has. in terms of our commitment to this process. a preparation and effort. since we pivoted from mission bay lubin overwhelms the support not only from the public, but also from the neighborhood. the proposal that oci approved last month as a result of it extensive study and committee prosecute engage in a productive dialogue with key stakeholders include the neighborhood, ucsf, mission bay life science committee and local business. we are the better project today because of all the input we received. supervisor speak out cohen if great negotiators on your side .. that two dollar plus per ticket tax giants obtained $.25. so very well. after 11

meetings in mission bay cac they voted unanimously to endorse the project. we've had over 50 meetings with the.patch and south beach neighbors. we reached a critical agreement the leadership of ucsf which addressed their concerns. we will letter of support from all the major companies that make the mission bay life science community. each of these steps the principles in the warriors organization were participants. front and center not hiding behind paid service. a distinction i hope you reckon is. i particularly want to thank the staff at oci i and the city for all their incredible hard work. it's been a long road to get to this point and staff should be acknowledged the thoroughness and thoughtfulness that went into this analysis. thanks supervisors for your time and attention and i know addressed council mary murphy to address the specific issues raised in detail. thank you. >> good afternoon members of the mary murphy counsel for the

project sponsor. the ports and also like to share my time with my cocounsel. i like to address how the event center relates to [inaudible]is point out and oci findings oci i is the lead agency spots over making a decision. that decision is not properly before this board this evening. rather, as you know, this appeal focuses solely on the ceqa process. second, today, all projects in mission bay at approved based on addenda to the 1990-1998 eir. here oci has gone well beyond that (as subsequent eir. the notion that oci i is unless environment overview this project and would for other projects in mission bay is simply untrue. finally, the

appellant argues the arena should go somewhere else so that the site should be reserved indefinitely for medical or biotech uses. as you know, the warriors have already moved once before and sought approval of the arena at this location after a long and thoughtful process. further, this property has been for sale on at least two previous occasions. no one emerged to develop the site for medical or biotech use it. with that i like to turn over to wic manley to address some of the issues raised this afternoon. >> good afternoon members of the board. my name is wayne manley of sql counsel to the project sponsor. i do want to note we've had about three dozen speakers attend here in opposition to the project. that's a striking contrast from the hearing at oci brother committee hearings in particular at oci i with three speakers in opposition out about three dozen and two of them were lawyers hired by the allowance. so there's not been an outpouring of opposition i

recommend people to express concerns today. we do for the environmental analysis does address their concerns. as one okay palance, the alliance, the seemingly unlimited resources for lawyers and consultants into an admirable job of comments on staff. i have to say, oci i staff the planet to vomit and the consultants have done a pretty remarkable job responding to all the rainstorm, thunderstorm of cons comments that have come. the spec to process, is been accusations by the alliance that the city has short-circuited the process. either by cutting it short or relaxing its environmental standards. those accusations are not correct. this project was followed all procedures associate with ceqa and is done-follow the exact same type of rigorous analysis that the city is known for. the event

center has been certified by gov. brown is environmental leadership development project under assembly bill 900 that certification was concurred by the joint legislative budget committee of the state senate and assembly. those decisions are final. they're not before you today. but those do not shortcut the mental review process at all. or affect the standards. all they do is mean that if litigation is filed it will be promptly resolve. that's all. in fact, were very proud of the project and the rigorous environment will standards that it adheres to. i like to turn to a couple specific issues. first of all, with respect to transportation with all recognized that the key and perhaps the most complex issue surrounding the project. i won't reiterate what mr. albert or mr. weikel talked about perspective that i now speak they did a far better job than i can. i will say the project is well served by transit right on the t line and provide the resources to upgrade the station and align and by the light rail transit necessary to be with to augment

transit to the site. we also provide the funding necessary to deploy parking control officers and as mr. allard noted, they work. they work very well. one particular focus of our effort has been to ensure those traveling to the event center do not obstruct traffic to the hospital where ucsf. sir albert described the efforts they been made to secure local hospital ice. the account has said the transit service plan developed by sfmta to expand transit service to the site can be relied upon. but we are providing the funding necessary to implement it and we share sfmta's confidence it will work. i do want to note, there's backup litigation group by oci applies to the warriors. that is, if the transit service plan for some reason is not implemented this mitigation kitchen. it applies to the warriors. it specific and concrete and it makes us employee a series of

programs in order to expand transit use and decrease rinds on automobiles until we hit a specific performance target. a reduced habit vehicle transit. it's a binding performance standard we have to adhere to. there's nothing uncertain about it. very briefly, there was a supreme court decision cannot about we go to with greenhouse gas emissions. it struck down the ghd analysis for big newtown in los angeles county. in the course of striking down that eir's ggg analysis, the court actually withstood a couple ways that the county might have done the analysis. one of its recommended approaches is the approach that the city of san francisco follows. we fit very neatly into that started. consistent with you on top of that, we have to buy greenhouse gas admission reduction credits such that we don't achieve a net increase in gg omissions.

that was one of the criteria we had to meet to qualify under bill 900 on top of complying with the cities suite of ordinance to implement comment -greenhouse gas emissions reductions. working with stakeholders. we have heard from a variety of stakeholders. we met with many of them. we reviewed the letter from the dogpatch neighborhood association and a couple of recommendations we had four were directed to the warriors. namely, designating a contact person at the warriors available to the association and other neighborhood groups. we endorse that suggestion. we also endorsed the dogpatch neighborhood associations recommendation that are updates to the transit transportation management plan and the data survey all the publicly available. we agree with that recommendation as well. finally, what about working with stakeholders. as mr. welch noted, we really worked hard with key stakeholders,

biomedical industry, neighborhood groups, and so forth. in particular, the ucsf. i do want to note our efforts with ucsf culminated in entering into a memorandum of understanding and under this agreement the warriors have committed to control peak hour traffic around ucsf to maintain hospital access. we also committed to scale back the number of peak events overlapping giants games is certain traffic targets are not met. no were the sports arena in the country has made a commitment like that. we've done it because we take our obligations to the community and to ucsf very seriously. we appreciate ucsf willingness to work with. we do understand the concerns. we are very glad we were able to reach an agreement that satisfies those concerns. we are very proud to earn their support and their trust and we look forward to working with

them. we recognize that the appellant has given every indication that intends to sue. we feel that oci plant apartment and their consultants have done everything possible to provide a conference of robust analysis we cannot be cowed by subsequent lawsuits matter how mild they might delay. be happy to answer any questions we ask for your support.? thank you very much. i see that supervisor cohen is on the roster.? yes, thanks. i'm not sure right to direct my questions. i believe it's to mr. welch. would you come back up mr. welch? while this my question is not a ceqa issue. i want to pass on to you one of the recommendations that the dogpatch neighborhood association outlined specifically for your

organization in a letter that are referenced earlier. happy to get you a copy of it after the hearing. the letter is that the-in the letter it states arises made the warriors have a dedicated method to address neighborhood specific issues when they arise. regular staff member that can be in contact with. is this something that you can continue to be committed to? because as of right now you've all hands on is more than enough hands reaching out to us but as the project my grandson gets underway on make sure there is a person i can direct people to get on not receiving the complaints i guess i can share some of? i can't promise you won't receive complaints but i can promise? is a person in place or position you are creating?? i guess we'll take one person very involved in the community denies asian though we are to have in place and probably reassigned somebody to that role. >> as last that we make their e-mail and contact information

public that they are accessible, intending to me neighborhood meetings and being on the run much like the work you've done to this point today to work with your project can oftentimes project sponsors spend a lot of resources that a pullout when challenges arise. i want to ensure that's not going to happen.? you have my commitment. >> thank you.? thank you supervisor cohen with that, were going to move to open this item up to outlook comments. public comment period for those public, and what you speak in support of affirming the incremental impact reports. please, line up to my left. if their are any of the numbers of the public with any physical disabilities, these come forward to the front.next speaker, please.

>> hello. my name is henry-a longtime resident of potrero hill small business owner and supporter of the arena project. i want to take a moment to really commend rick welch and his old team for interaction with the community and really a lot of great planning >> let me posit time for a second. the members of the public who are here, please keep the noise down while we listened to public comments. thank you very much. >> again i want to commend the warriors for the rich in the community and the cooperation with transportation concerns that our visitors a lot more gridlock that there's a lot more building in the last 24-36 months and it's great to understand that $17 million are being incremented from the warriors with this concern in addition to annual funds. i think it's a marvelous project

on a lot of levels that it's important to remember that the scope of the arena is less than half the size of the giants stadium. there's a lot of naysayers and concerns about that and a lot of those issues have been mitigated very well. there are have as many games as well. so it's a much smaller project than the giants situation, and with a lot more flow to the area, as been mentioned before, the traffic concerns i think our something certainly can be solved one thing i'm excited about is the multiuse of the stadium. i'm a big music fan and where my heart is. so the fact that we, world-class arena here in san francisco as opposed to in san jose, i think that benefits the city and a great way. open space on the site for multitude of uses. it's also excellent for

education and family oriented event. thank you so much for your consideration. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors. i just want to say i'm a lover of san francisco. this project is a great opportunity for the city of san francisco. as you probably know, san francisco port before 1960 was the busiest port the side of the mississippi. because we didn't want to commit to improving our port facilities and opened it to the tune of $800 million, traffic went over there. also, in the southeastern part of san francisco in the dogpatch area. that area used to be the heaviest area.. concentrated area of industry on the side of the mississippi good now that's all gone elsewhere. so, with this warrior stadium is fantastic there willing to mitigate any problem or any

negative issue that comes up. they do it without costing the taxpayers of san francisco done. the fact that they were able to get the hospital to sign onto this just proves the commitment that they love the city and there are sponsor will and obligated to make sure that this does not have a negative effect on the city. the city is more crowded because we have more people and this will actually help the because these mta and transportation facilities will be in place whether there's a game or not. you also have to remember that like what my friend said, we always have the bill graham auditorium. but we are san francisco. this would be great. for instance we have three simultaneous events happening at these three buildings. this will be a win for the city and i think the supervisors want you to appreciate the hard work that oci has done and please accept this proposal for the coliseum. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is-. i'm here in

support also. i just want to bring-is that what did i want to say this is going to help people get jobs when they come here. when the stadium is here. it's going to help people to get jobs. i say that because,-i don't think it could do anything to disrupt the aye. as a matter fact it's probably going to benefit them because the children and the families the people that are in the hospital are going to make a wish to say, i want to meet my favorite sports player and they can come there and talk to the patients there. so, i think it's a good thing. i am worried about, a little bit of violence, but if you have things in place this won't

happen. so, i support what can happen. i support that they're going to be coming out in may be added to get a job with them. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is greg pennington. , resident of san francisco for 38 years. the current score in the 113 and 94 in the fourth quarter. we are on our way to 23-0. i want to say i appreciate that ucsf gives a some of the best medical care in the world can am very proud of. this is not an either or situation. the city that knows how to make this a win-win for everyone in the warriors have worked very hard with ucsf to make that deal. the warriors

came to san francisco from philadelphia in 1962. they were a san francisco team that moved to oakland because oakland build an arena. we are not stealing and oakland team. we are getting our team back. we lost the bank of america to charlotte. the rock 'n roll hall of fame to clean. the george lucas museum to chicago. nbc and the 49ers to santa clara county. this time to stop the losses and get something back that is ours. all the terrible problems claimed by the opposition of at&t park never came to pass. south beach is a vibrant and thriving neighborhood. at&t park is a success story and model for private financing of stadiums. i will remind the stories people against everything. it was vociferous opposition to the golden gate bridge. san francisco's paid major role in rock 'n roll history and has no major rock 'n roll venue. coldplay and elton john and maj. groups play oakland and san jose. i cringe when i hear coldplay say, hello san jose. bernal heights complained about the noise from the rolling

stones at at&t park. shamefully embarrassing this rock 'n roll city. the noise problem is a limited with a new arena. indoor arenas have better acoustics and outdoor. the warners offering an incredible gift of the spirit world cost arena that brings prestige. i do want to know the way to san jose. i want san francisco to be the city that [inaudible] >> madame president before the next speaker, is undermined the public" passion is prohibited in the chamber. please use supportive fingers as well >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hello. i am a former don. i just want to say my argument for the stadium is more of a substantial argument in that i do a lot of work with youth and i also do a lot of work in my

community on ocean avenue. the work i'm doing with youth i've done a lot of use involved with sports as a coach. i've done a lot of work as a mentor and a counselor, at such. i just have to say that i don't with kids at the hunters point in different areas. i have used sports and i've used this idea of bringing the community together around something. to really take kids off the streets and actually, one person i was mentoring actually was at a juvenile hall and wind up giving them a basketball scholarship.
