with the original plans on what we could do to transform the original area. and i had never seen a design to innovative and whimsical, as well. i'm sure many of our adults will be wanting to play on these structures, as well, joining their childrens, in quotation marks. i think it's amazing that we're able to do something so innovative and amazing in san francisco. i represent a district with the smallest number of parks in san francisco. i also want to acknowledge our residents who have pushed us to prioritize parks and open spaces in our district. i see pat zamora from the boys and girls club, and it is really our residents who have taken the initiative to say we

want to rhenvate bodecker park and make it a true oasis for our families and our seniors, and we accomplished that with the trust for public land, thanks inform phil2k3w i gin-- phil ginser and mayor ed lee. we are going to make district six the best place for parks in the city. so i just want to thank everyone for their immense involvement. i also want to recognize san francisco police department because if not for their partnership at bodecker park, we would not have been able to maintain the beautiful and safe environment that we have there, so i want to recognize the

captains and professionals that have maintained that. we have deputy commander chief mike redman, and david lazar. i again want to thank the entire staff at park and recs, and of course we have our own district six representative on rec and park commission, allen lowe. thank you for being the d-6 commissioner on the rec and park commission, and i look forward to playing on the park with all of you. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor. so he's not just the district six commissioner, he actually is the vice chair of the rec and park commission, but he does advocate hard for these d-6 parks. we are very, very blessed to have an amazing commission, seven citizens that just serve out the city and love the parks and provide us guidance and love and support, and make sure all voices are heard

representing our park and rec commission tonight, and i do want to recognize commissioner anderson who is here, the vice president of the rec and park commission, allen lowe. >> so happy valentine's day, everybody. in the spirit of love, i've got to say i love these parks, these new playgrounds. it's creative, the design's inspiring. as supervisor kim said, it's very whimsical. it's a message to all of us, just get out and play, and really, just get out and play, emergency, and let's dream again. and on behalf of the recreation and park commission, i want to give special thanks to the trust for public land for their continued generosity in supporting our parks, and i

want to give a big thanks to jackie shapeer and dan shapeer for the helen diller foundation. we're lucky to have you supporting the city of san francisco. thank you very much. thank you, and enjoy your parks. [applause]. >> thank you so much, commissioner. all right. now, you're going to hear from my customers: three youth, pauli pauline, charlie, and shada, three members of the boys and girls club who hangout at bodecker and will now have the opportunity to hangout at city center. we have an elementary school student, a middle school student, and a high school student. we're so pleased to bring them up to say a few words. >> all right. before i begin, the fact that everyone here today, everyone's

smile made my heart feel warm and tingly inside to fight the cold weather. i believe that playgrounds are important because it provides a safe place for children. i remember the park before the renovation. i remember as a child that this area was a danger zone that i should avoid. i remember finding myself repulsed by the smell emitting from the park, and then, it got renovated. i was amazed by how much the park changed. the streets were cleaner than they had been since i was a child. i genuinely fell in love with the beauty of this playground,

and how well it's been maintained. i also believe that playgrounds are important because of the influence they have on the community, making it more colorful and livly like at bodecker park. imagine all the kids coming together as they laugh and play together, maybe even making new friends along the way. as they grow older, they will look back and tell stories how impactful the civic center playground was to their lives. it was a place making ever lasting friendship, the place they looked forward to going to, and the place they call home. thank you so much for this beautiful park. [applause] >> hello. my name is pauline, and i'm in 8th grade. i have been a member of the boys and girls club for eight

years now, and i sometimes visit bodecker while at the club. i like to do reading and art in my spare time. i have been living in the tenderloin my entire life, and throughout the years, i had spent a good amount of my time at bodecker, ellis, and also helen diller civic center playground. i enjoyed the tire swings, regular swings, and other things at these parks, and i often made my mother and brothers push me around. i like being able to spend some time outside with my friends and being able to leave technology behind and be with my friends. i wouthink parks are important because it is a way to spend time with the people around you and wind down.

it is a way to be active with your friend and possibly make new friends. parks have a magical ability to be able to bring people together to form a small community. it is a great way to stay active and improve your communication skills, plus, it's always fun to be able to see a new park with brand-new play structures just like this. thank you for giving us this park. [applause]. >> hello. my name is shada, and i'm in sixth grade, and i have been a member of the san francisco boys and girls club in the tenderloin for six years. i love to read and watch harry potter, and i also love to swim. i lived in the tenderloin for seven years, and in that time, i have really enjoyed going to bodecker park, because it has

swings, i climb the web, and it is a place to have fun. i am excited to have this park, because i want to see how people enjoy the new structures. whenever there's a new park, i try to go on everything there. if there's a new slide or monkey bars, i go on them. i am excited to try everything this park has to offer. i think parks are important because they are a place where kids learn to play with other kids, and they help us to be active. also, parks are entertaining. to me, a park is where teams, kids and eve adults can gather up and play. they can share laughs, games, and most importantly friendship. also, what if there were no such things as parks? where would kids gather and hangout? for those reasons, i think parks are important. thank you [applause]. >> weren't they wonderful? all right, guys.

for you, for you, and for you. all right. before we -- we get the show on the road and we flip the switch, and i bring up our very special honored guest, let me just offer a few additional thank yous. this effort at civic center, there are a lot of folks who are really investing a lot of love and attention, and i want to thank the downtown street team, i want to thank hunters.family, i want to thank the civic center ebd, i want to thank our city administrator, naomi kelley, and the very special amy cohen for all of our civic center comments where amy has been very much of a driver in getting numerous city agencies and nonprofit partners to work together to make this a happier and healthier place, and amy, i'd like to recognize you as one of us as well. also, my profound thanks to

jorge arias and the whole team from bossman construction, and to the amazing andy cochran for such an inspired design. but our most important guest tonight, and she's so modest, and doesn't like taking credit, and she's sitting in the back. she's my hero, and my dear, dear, dear friend, jackie. this is for you; and now is the time for us to actually flip the switch. so why don't you and our three friends lead us in a count down. >> right on. >> all right. we're going to count down from ten. all right. here we go. ready, everybody! ten. nine. eight.

seven, six. five. four. three. two. one. if everybody can turnaround and look in the square right here, and there's a tv camera. all right. the helen diller playground contains some of the most innohave ati innovative and interactive lighting programs on any playgrounds. we've designed each to compliment the play found. the first piece connects the two playground with a forest of lighting fixtures spread across each playground. we call them pixel poles. they animate and grow like they have captured fog inside them. when visitors move in front of the poles, they lite up and slash with colors. the pixel poles have custom

lighting fixtures created specifically for these playgrounds that exist nowhere else. the second project covers the plaza right in front of you all between the playgrounds. we call it carl. we wanted to ask, what if san francisco's fog settled down in the plazs to play wi-- plaza th visitors. he likes to connect to different groups of people, so you may see the light forming connections across the plaza. it takes a great and ad

venturo adventurous team to make this happen. this is a new combination of public instruction with custom hardware and software. they can grow and aadapt as the city changes. for the next month we'll be watching to see how the public plays and dialing in the project personalities to match. this new combination of playground building with new technologies will let us adapt to a changing city and kids at play. i would like to introduce the margaret general kins dan-- je dance company, which has adapted movement for this celebration. the dancers are aalex carington, chin

>> four, three, two, one. welcome to the helen diller civic center playground. [applause].

>> third thursdays at the commons is a monthly event series to really activate krisk centkrisk -- civic center, fulton mall, and other locations through social operation. >> in 2016, an initiative called the civic center progress initiative was launched, it was launched by a bunch of city agencies and community partners, so they really had to figure out how to program these places on a more frequent basis. i'm with the civic center community benefit district, and i'm program manager for the civic center commons. also, third thursdays will have

music. that was really important in the planning of these events. >> we wanted to have an artist that appeals to a wide range of tastes. >> i'm the venue manager. good music, good music systems, and real bands with guitar players and drummers. >> we turned uc center and fulton street into a place where people want to be to meet, to laugh, and it's just an amazing place to be. there's a number of different exhibits. there's food, wine, cocktails, and the idea, again, is to give people an opportunity to enjoy what really is, you know, one of the great civic faces in america. when you look from the polk

street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, daniel burns' design, this was meant to be this way. it's really special. >> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's really great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food, interesting music, and then, we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller

skating rink. >> if you're a passion jail skeeball player like me, and you're deciding whether you're just going to roll the ball up the middle or take a bank shot. >> our goal is to come out and have fun with their neighbors, but our goal is to really see in the comments that it's a place where people want to hold their own public event. >> i think this is a perfect example of all these people working together. everybody's kind of come together to provide this support and services that they can to activate this area. >> there's no one agency or organization that really can make this space come alive on its own, and it's really through the collective will, not just of the public sector, but both the public and our business partnerships, our

nonprofits partnerships, you know, neighborhood activists. >> i really like it. it's, like, a great way to get people to find out about local things, cuisine, like, it's really great. >> it's a really good environment, really welcoming. like, we're having a great time. >> we want to inspire other people to do this, just using a part of the plaza, and it's also a good way to introduce people if they're having a large scale event or small scale event, we'll direct you to the right people at the commons so you can get your event planned. >> being a san francisco based company, it was really important to connect and engage with san franciscans. >> how great is it to come out from city hall and enjoy great

music, and be able to enjoy a comtail, maybe throw a bocci ball or skee ball. i find third thursdays to be really reinrig rat reinriggating for me. >> whether you're in the city hall or financial district or anywhere, just come on down on third thursdays and enjoy the music, enjoy an adult beverage, enjoy the skee ball; enjoy an adult playground, if you

>> a way of life in san francisco. when the next major quake hits, the city hopes a new law requiring seismic upgrades to five story buildings will help keep more residents safe and sound. tell me a little about the soft story program. what is it? >> it's a program the mayor signed into law about a year and a half ago and the whole idea behind it was to help homeowners strengthen buildings so that they would not collapse. >> did you the soft story program apply to all buildings or building that were built in a certain time frame? >> it only applies to buildings built in the time frame of 1978 and earlier. it's aimed at wood framed buildings that are three or more stories and five or more units. but the openings at the garage level and the street level

aren't supported in many buildings. and without the support during a major earthquake, they are expected to pancake and flatten ~. many of the buildings in this program are under rent control so it's to everybody's advantage to do the work and make sure they protect their investment and their tenant. >> notices have gone out to more than 6,000 owners of potentially at-risk properties but fewer than one-third have responded and thousands might miss an important deadline in september to tell the city what they plan to do. let's talk worst case scenario. what happens in a collapse? >> buildings have the tendency of rolling over. the first soft story walls lean over and the building collapse. in an earthquake the building is a total loss. >> can you describe what kind of strengthening is involved in the retrofit? >> one of the basic concepts, you want to think of this

building kind of like rubber band and the upper three floor are very rigid box and the garage is a very flexible element. in an earthquake the garage will have a tendency to rollover. you have to rubber band analogy that the first floor is a very tough but flexible rubber band such that you never drive force he to the upper floors. where all your damage goes into controlled element like plywood or steel frame. >> so, here we are actually inside of a soft story building. can we talk a little about what kinds of repairs property owners might expect? >> it's a very simple process. we deliberately tried to keep it that way. so, what's involved is plywood, which when you install it and make a wall as we have done here already, then you cover it with this gypsum material. this adds some flexibility so that during the earthquake you'll get movement but not

collapse. and that gets strengthened even more when we go over to the steel frame to support the upper floor. >> so, potentially the wood and the steel -- it sounds like a fairly straightforward process takes your odds of collapse from one in 4 to one in 30? >> that's exactly right. that's why we're hoping that people will move quickly and make this happen. >> great. let's take a look. so, let's talk steel frames. tell me what we have going on here. >> well, we have a steel frame here. there are two of these and they go up to the lower floor and there is a beam that go across, basically a box that is much stiffer and stronger. ~ goes so that during the earthquake the upper floor will not

collapse down on this story. it can be done in about two weeks' time. voila, you're done. easy. >> for more information on how to get your building earthquake ready, hello, everyone, i'm elaine forbes. it's great to see you here today. we're celebrating a 10-year endeavor, 12 years by some count, that has brought us here today to a historic day to celebrate the work that the city has performed with our partner, the san francisco giants, to bring a new mixed income neighborhood to the waterfront. we've also had the helpful support of many, many people from the community. we all know that the late mayor lee would have enjoyed being here today. he was the biggest supporter of the city. he was an advocate for the

project. and i believe there bear, he may have been one of the giants number one fans, so we reflect on mayor lee and his legacy and he would have been proud. this ace project that will help build a water front for everyone and deliver benefits to our residents for years to come. the residents of san francisco and the state will enjoy eight new acres of open space. the rehabilitation of pier 48. thousands of new affordable homes, 40% of which are affordable along our waterfront and much more. the project has created these benefits while recognizing the future challenge of sea level rise. it's adaptable to the rise and for us, it provides an ongoing source of revenue to adapt other areas for the waterfront and the shoreline tax. this was done the san francisco way as a team effort.

and we are not surprised about how many port tenants and three-time world champions san francisco giants led our team. thank you to the giants, to larry bear, to jack bear, to fran weld, to john and so many others from the hometown team for leading a gold standard community project. the giants are in the long game in this community and it showed. it promises a diverse community and in planning we heard from many voices on how the future of the waterfront should be prepared. that included the central waterfront advisory group. the mission bay advisory group. the south beach neighborhood association, they participated in every step of the plan. i see many of our resident stakeholders here today, including ms. katy la del, alice rogers, bruce and so many others that participated.

sonny schwartz is here today. there were many city agencies that collaborated. i need to say thank you first and story most to oawd, to ken rich, todd and adam. and we also will remember today jennifer, she had big vision for the waterfront and enthusiasm for the site. today, we recognize her work effort and can-do attitude. the mayor's office played an integral role in the project to support the benefits of housing, the housing program, the transportation program, and on ward. i really think that this project is emblematic of what with can achieved through a public-private partnership. when we have supervisor jane kim. you were very dedicated to this

project throughout and you challenged our team to deliver more affordable housing and we have done so. with a decade in the making, this project had the support of the mayor and now mayor newsom, the late mayor lee, acting mayor breed who helped us finalize, and now mayor farrell. mayor farrell has supported this project for two terms while on the board of supervisors. we're celebrating many years of hard work and welcome our mayor, mayor farrell. [applause] >> thank you, elaine. and congratulations to you. so, i'm excited to be here to celebrate the signing of this legislation. let's be clear, we all want to talk about the world series coming up here to san francisco. i know, it isn't here, but i'm

here to say congratulations. first of all, elaine, congratulations to you and the port team for all your hard work and to larry, you and your team for all of the hard work. this is emblematic of the best of a collective planning process we have here in the san francisco. this is a city agency willing to be creative with a ton of support and a willing and engaged local partner in the giants. to really come here to celebrate this today. but it's because of the port and the giants and their hard work that we are really here today celebrating what is going to be an amazing project. as you think about the project itself, 21 acres is going to be redone. 1500 new housing units, 40% that are affordable. congratulations to supervisor kim on her hard work on making that happen. [applause] eight acres of new open space. we're going to have teachers and nurses and firefighters and police officers living there, transition age youth is going to be living there. this is a big deal for the city

of san francisco and a huge part of what mayor lee was pushing for in the housing units, that he has been pushing for as mayor. and transportation improvements. you think about the t third line, the $40 million, the new mission bay ferry terminal, which is an amazing resource for the neighborhood and million dollars for workforce development to make sure the children we have growing up in the neighborhoods, they can work in the neighborhoods and they're ready with the job skills they need moving forward. i'm here just to say congratulations to everybody. a number of people to additionally thank. mentioned the giants and the port. i want to thank the entire board of supervisors and president breed for all their work. david chiu for his hard work in legislation that he pushed forward that allowed it to happen. other city departments, todd, where are you? to john ram and planning, ed riskin and the mta.

that was a collective effort from the city family. as elaine mentioned, huge thanks to lieutenant-governor, alan and especially thank in closing to our late mayor ed lee who worked very, very hard on this for his entire time in office. and i just think he would be proud of being here today. congratulations, everyone. [applause] >> thank you, elaine, and thank you, mayor farrell. i'm larry bear from the giants and i have to say this is truly an exciting day for the organization. it has been mentioned, it was a decade in the making. i think maybe a little north, 1, 12 years, i was just sitting here thinking nobody on the

giants roster right now was actually on the roster when we started this project. i believe bruce was a rookie manager at the time for the giants. but really valuable, important projects are worth taking the time and being very carefully done. i have to -- there is a number of people we want to thank because they led with their hearts in making this project happen. they understood the vision, saw the vision and led with their hearts. it's a profound statement when a mixed project can garner 74% of the voters' support in this community, which was the case in the election two years ago. and unanimous support from every commission and every board. many of you we will talk about were part of that, of garnering that support and leading. without the folks we're going to

mention today, this would not have happened, it would not have been possible, come together. what we're really most proud of is the creation taking a surface parking lot, what we used to characterize as a wind swept surface parking lot and creating a new dynamic neighborhood from the parking lot which will serve as a central gathering place, a hub for the surrounding community, for the mission bay community. it grew on the expertise of thousands of created people, dedicated people in this planning process, including our neighbors. which we'll talk about. so leading off the thanks, i would like to thank the project team who worked hard, diligently, long, long hours, lending their expertise in urban planning, engineering, architecture, finance, legal

work to create this topnotch project that meets the values of our community. mention the neighbors and the community based organizations, many are here in the audience today. they've been a voice for the project from the beginning. now the city departments. the city departments have been quite amazing led by the port of san francisco, the mayor's office, economic and workforce development, the city attorney office, the planning department, dpw, mta, all unbelievably collaborative in their work with us through this long process. i want to specifically acknowledge port direct elaine forbes for her amazing work. commission president kim brandon. where is kim? so kim brandon -- [applause]

-- kim brandon unlike any of the giants players or bruce, did precede this project. i did a fact check, because i don't want fake news, 20 years on the san francisco port commission, looking at the progress and what happened to the port through her two decades of service. thank you, kim. and and finally the city leadership. a heart felt thank you to jane kim who authored the legislation and has taken a personal interest in this project from day one. huge thanks to board president london breed for her long time support of mission rock and keeping us on track during crucial moments. thank you to david chiu for spear heading the state legislation that allowed us to

do the project. and finally, i want to acknowledge our friend, our late mayor ed lee. very bittersweet here without him. one of the project's biggest supporters, with us from day one. we are eternally grateful for his leadership and support and we miss him every day. thank you, mayor farrell for making this historic moment for mission rock come true. we're thrilled to move closer to the ground breaking and realizing the vision of all of us here for this project, a decade in the making and now the fun beginsment thank you so much. [applause] >> hello, everybody, my name is london breed, i'm president of the san francisco board of supervisors and i am so excited to be here today. as a former san francisco redevelopment agency commissioner, i know how long

these projects, these major infill projects can take. i mean, but looking at mission bay and what we're doing with the shipyard and watching as this entire neighborhood change and provide more businesses, more housing, more parks, this is really a crown jewel for this particular area. i want to thank the giants for investing in this project, for working with the city, for working with the port. elaine, you're an amazing leader and i've got to thank kimberley brandon and the members of the port commission who spent countless hours listening to public comment, arguing over the details, getting the criticism and look at what we have here today. an amazing project that is doing something we need to do all over the city and county of san francisco. provide 40% affordable housing for low, moderate income families in san francisco.

how exciting is that? people who make up to 150% ami. when we think about it, that's a lot of money and it's not a lot of money here in san francisco. those families still can't afford market rate housing in san francisco. it includes some of the city employees. some of the ballpark workers. i want to see the ballpark workers walking across from their housing in that parking lot into the ballpark. is that a promise? yes. the members of local 2 and the folks who make san francisco such a great place. this is a wonderful day, i'm excited and grateful to my colleagues on the board of supervisors, including mayor farrell and i see supervisor yee and supervisor kim who will be speaking and supervisor jeff sheehy. we all care about making san francisco a wonderful place for each and every one of us, providing more housing, providing spaces like this on the waterfront that are going to

be beautiful and accessible to so many with parks and everything else, it's going to be amazing for city and county of san francisco. i know sonny schwartz has been a part of the project from day one, here we are, ten years later, let's make sure that the future projects don't take this long. thank you all so much. [applause] >> good afternoon, it is really incredibly exciting to be here today after the years as larry and mayor mark farrell have mentioned that have gone into making the project a reality. the portion of the project that i'm the proudest of, this is the first project in san francisco that has committed to a record percentage of 40% affordable and

middle income housing. [applause] and i really want to thank the giants for stepping up and being a leader for san francisco. this is our home team. and they've demonstrated their commitment to san franciscans by saying we're going make sure san franciscans get to live by our ballpark and root for us as we make it to the championship. i want to say that a lot of work went into the process. i should ask someone this, this is really one of the first projects that didn't use redevelopment, that built such a large percentage of units. households that make between $80-150,000 a year. i want to recognize the teachers union, the council community housings or organization, that helped us literally, number by number, over hours in the course of the night, craft a compromise that would pencil out. and i want to recognize the port

and the city for sharing the value that would generate the land that would allow more housing. this is a partnership between the city and the giants. i want to take a moment to thank our community residents who are also here. who have worked on the sidelines of this. to ensure this is a neighborhood that they want to be a part of. i see corrin woods, the chair of mission woods advisory committee. sonny schwartz. alice rogers. part of the south beach rincon. bruce, also a member of the organization. and katy who is not here, chairs the organization as well. i talked a lot about the affordable housing, but this is a mixed use development project that is going to provide retail

and small businesses, amenity, open space. the type of neighborhood that is inkredably excite -- incredibly exciting, providing amenities we need for the mission bay neighborhood. finally, i want to thank the city for all of your work. and the hard work begins now. we have to make sure we get the infrastructure in the ground so the thousands of units of the housing can get built. thank you, everyone, for making this a home run for san francisco. >> thank you to everyone. i understand now we have the honor of signing the legislation. mr. mayor and larry bear, president breed.

ready to roll. all right.

congratulations, everyone. [cheers and applause] -

>> san francisco is known worldwide for its atmospheric waterfront where spectacular views are by piers and sight and sounds are xhanl changing we come to the here for exercise relax ball games entertainment, recreation market, exhilaration a wide variety of contributions easily enjoyed look up the bay the waterfront is boosting for activities boosting over 25 visitors every year the port of san francisco manages 7 may have million

dollars of waterfront from hyde street and fisherman's wharf to the cargo terminals and name shoreline the architecture like pier 70 and the ferry building is here for the embarcadero and a national treasure the port also supports 10 different maritime industries alongside with the recreational attractions making san francisco one of the most viable working waterfronts in the world but did you think that our waterfront faces serious challenges if earthquake to damage the seawall and the embarcadero roadway rising seawalls will cause flooding at high tides and major repairs to a safe many of the piers the

port is at a critically turnl point time to plan for the future of san francisco's waterfront this year the port is updating it's marts plan the plan working group to invite a wide variety of poichdz from the city and bayview and other advisory teams to share their expertise if intense and maritime operations the waterfront land use plan has guided the use and development of the lanes for the last 20 years major physical changes take place along the waterfront and now is the time to update the waterfront plan to continue improvements that will keep our waterfront vibrate, public and resilient the biggest challenges facing the waterfront are out the site

an aging seawall along the embarcadero roadway and seawalls that will rise by 21 hundred to provide and productivity of tides seawall is built over weak soils and mud the next earthquake will cause it to settle several feet without the urgent repairs that will damage the promenade and other things we've been fortunate over the last hundred years less than one foot of seawall over the next hundred years scientists say we'll have 6 feet of seawall rise imagine the pier 30/32 will be floated, the embarcadero will be flooded our transportation system is fog to be heavy impacts unfortunately, the port didn't have the financial resources to

repair all the deteriorating piers let alone the adaptations for sea level rise. >> it is clear that the port can't pay for the seawall reinforcement or deal with the sea level rise on its own needs to raise money to take care of the properties at take care of the maintenance on the properties no way absent anti funding the issues of sea level rise or the schematic conditions of seawall can be development. >> as studies talk about the seawall challenges the working group is look at the issues please come share our ideas about recreation, pier activities, shoreline habitat, historic preservation and transportation issues and viral protection. >> we know this planning
