19. >> clerk: a resolution urging the federal budget appropriation to replace aquatic park, pier and . >> supervisor stefani: the aquatic park pier was once in district 3, but now in district 2. this holds special meaning for supervisor peskin. it was built by the work progress administration in 1933 on the site of the army quarter master pier in order to provide a protected cove where san francisco residents and visitors could swim. the pier is a vital historic

element, anchoring the landmark distribute and protects historic ships moored nearby. the pier is the maritime resource and first line of defense that protects the city's waterfront against sea level rise and wave action. united states national park service conducted by the risk assessments and studies that shows significant deterioration of over 600 pilings, including the concrete deck. the pier provides a safety buffer that protects swimmers and boaters and the rest of the waterfront. the pier is at significant risk to deteriorate further and collapse endangering the lives of san franciscans and visitors. the last repairs were made in 1948 and it is now requiring a full replacement and reconstruction. the original projection of cost in 2008 was $65 million.

it has now grown to more than $100 million for complete reconstruction. we're committed to leveraging local, state and federal resources to get this done. as president yee mentioned, i had an incredible trip to washington d.c. with the chamber of commerce and president yee and representatives from our great city partners, where we had the chance to meet with senator feinstein who did express her support to save the pier. i want to thank you, president yee, for cosponsoring this with supervisor peskin and i. i hope you will join our efforts to reconstruct the aquatic park pier. >> president yee: thank you. can we take this, same -- supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: can you add me as sponsor please. >> president yee: okay. can we take this same house same call? okay, this resolution is adopted.

okay madame clerk. can you read the in memoriams. >> today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the late may pond barrie. on behalf of supervisor peskin, the late yolanda demar. >> president yee: that brings us to the end of the agenda. any further business before us today. >> clerk: that concludes business for today. >> president yee: okay, we are adjourned.

>> good morning and thank you for being here. today has been a long time coming and it is certainly a cause for celebration. i'm glad to see so much support for our animals. we are joined today by some of our adoption partners, including sonoma reptile rescue, wonder dog, mutts ville, pause, as well as our largest partner, the san francisco spca. [applause] >> it takes a village to care for the 10,000 animals we taken every year, so we all worked

closely together to save as many as we can, also joining us are our coworkers from across the city who help the shelter function. we are animal experts, so we are very dependent on our counterparts at city hall who keep us on the straight and narrow and pitch in from everything from accounting, to human resources, to legal advice , building management, everything else that keeps the shelter afloat. nearly all of the walks and cuddles our animals receive every day come courtesy of our volunteers, who last year, devoted 27,000 hours of time to our shelter. [cheers and applause] >> we couldn't survive without them. we also have a very special group of volunteers, the board of friends of acc works tirelessly to develop

partnerships between the shelters, the community, the business community, and helps raise funds to help support our efforts. last but not least, there is the a.c.c. staff, you every day take in stray pets, injured wildlife abused animals, and heal them as best they can. [applause] >> in addition to animals, our team helps many people in the city, often on the saddest days of their lives as they look for a lost pet or grieve for a companion who has just died. today, we are breaking ground on a new home for all of the city's animals and the people who love them. we will no longer have a building that works against quality care. each animal will have some place

to stretch. we will have forever outdoor play stations which means that bunnies will no longer have to share with the dogs. [laughter]. >> which is no fun for anyone, especially the bunnies. we will have ventilation systems that help fight the spread of disease, we will have isolation rooms so we no longer have to house nervous birds with sick cats. as we approach the department's 40 it -- 30th anniversary, we can anticipate moving into a shelter worthy of the city of st. francis. the building would not have big -- become a reality without the efforts of many, including the board of supervisors, city administrator naomi kelly, the architects, engineers, and project managers at the department of public works who probably redesigned this building three times, sfmta, who agreed to trade buildings with

us, and first and foremost, our mayor, please welcome, maryland and breed -- please welcome mayor london breed. [applause]. >> thank you, virginia, and thank you all for being here. believe it or not, i owned a lot of cats a long time ago. kitty one, kitty two, kitty three, kitty four, kitty five, and jojo. it is something special about animals, and this is why we are all here today. we definitely get really attached to our pets, and honestly, i cry when my grandmother -- i cried when my grandmother wouldn't take -- wouldn't let me take kitty five to college. i think about our shared experiences of how animals make us feel, the love, the comfort, the excitement, and especially when you teach them new tricks, but we also know there are a number of challenges in our city

sometimes, if an owner passes away, they have a pet, and there is no place for that pet to go. sometimes when we see animals that are stray and out on our streets, and they are injured, we have to make sure that they have a place to go, and animal care and control has been that place for over 30 years here in the city and county of san francisco, and in fact, because of the work and the support, and the fundraising from the friends of the animal care and control, the ability to have so many incredible volunteers, and additional resources is why people care about making sure that we have a better facility so that we can accommodate so many animals, so many requests, and do what we know we can do better, and that is take care of animals here in san francisco when they can't take care of themselves. [applause]

>> part of building a resilient city is making sure that our assets are seismically safe, and we know that the current building at 15th and harrison is efficient. it is cramped, and it may not survive the next earthquake, and we know it is not a matter of if there will be an earthquake in san francisco, it is a matter of when. when you look all around the country at the number of disasters that occur, and how pets have been separated from owners, and what happens during that time, it is important that we are not concerned about the structure, that we are able to do the work, that people know that there animal, if found, will be brought to animal care and control, because we will have a seismically sound facility so the employees, the amazing staff of animal care and control can focus on doing their job and not necessarily on whether or not the rueful cave

in. that is what this is about, and i want to thank everyone for being here today, but i also want to think the person who spearheaded this entire project and was really aggressive on the board of supervisors with ensuring that we invested the dollars necessary to get this project done sooner rather than later. supervisor, former supervisor katy tang. [cheers and applause] >> who went on -- during her time on the board of supervisors , she would always, especially during the holidays, bring in a lot of cats, and i would go in there and be tempted to adopt, and then i would think , okay, i have to be able to feed the cat every day, can i feed the cat every day, but helps with adoption, helps with advocacy for animals in san francisco, and thank you for

your really steadfast commitment on supporting this project, and now in two and a half years when you come back to cut the ribbon, you will see the fruits of your labor with all of the incredible people here today. thank you supervisor tang. and thank you to naomi kelly -- kelly, thank you to mohammed knew rue, and all the people who have played a critical role in making this project happen, but a special thanks to the community, to the volunteers who have spent over 30,000 hours taking care of over 10,000 animals year after year after year, and the friends who continue to raise money, and raise awareness for this amazing project. this will be an absolute incredible facility, and i just wanted to acknowledge our new fire chief, janine nicholson, thank you so much for being here as well. [applause]

>> please know that we are increasing the capacities of the fire marshal does not have to shut down the new space. we will have plenty of room and places for people to be. thank you everyone for being here today and your support for this amazing project. [applause] >> i almost forgot, also i forgot to thank the leader of animal care and control, thank you so much, virginia, for your hard work and your commitment. [cheers and applause] >> and your steadfast leadership [applause]. >> and at this time, i want to bring forth our city administrator naomi kelly. [applause]. >> good morning. our mayor and director of a.c.c. , virginia don who basically said it all. this project is so important. it was one of the first projects i worked on when i became city administrator in 2012. i instantly realized when i went on a right along with one of the

animal care control officers that a.c.c., the staff, the volunteers, they are all of the unsung heroes of the city. is the mayor mentioned, as virginia mentioned, animal care and control is truly first responders when it comes to getting animals off the streets, and then they have communicable -- communicable diseases, you don't hear about these diseases going from pets to humans, because they do great work. when there is an emergency, they're the ones making sure folks are evacuating in a safe way, especially if you have many people who are pet lovers, and they don't want to leave without their pets. they have emergency plans around that. when their incidents with police and fire, and their people and buildings you don't want to leave because animals are there, or they are -- that are homeless encampments, and folks want to leave without their animals. animal care and control is there as the mayor mentioned, they are moving from just down the street , so they will still be in proximity with other animal agencies, and they're moving

right here to build a building that is seismically safe. this is important to our capital plan because we are looking at all of our seismic safety of all of the building and as a reminder, the capital plan is a fiscally constrained document that looks at all of our infrastructure in a way that we prioritize what is seismically safe, what is sustainable, what will help with our city to make it vibrant and resilient. i want to thank, as the mayor did katy tang, and your leadership on this. public works director, virginia donohue, and ed risk in from the sfmta. i also want to give a special thanks to our friends at a.c.c. who are doing so much and making sure we raise funds for behavior and training, foster program support, medical emergency fund, rabies and microchip supplies,

marketing and outreach, food supplies, rescue partner grants, senior cat, baby cat supplements , and much more, and also the furniture fixtures and equipment center going into this building. i want to thank the board treasurer, volunteer dianne davis and christopher davis, a board member christina -- christina kizer, and dr. sue wong. your generosity extends past the groundbreaking in this official opening. with that, i would also -- one last thing, i need to give a special thank you to park construction. they are the contractors working with public works on this. and in phase one, they have awarded -- contracted 24 business enterprises in the amount of $12.5 million, that is 33% of the contracting cost. [applause] >> of those who are working on this project, 149 workers are

from san francisco, so thank you with that, i would like to introduce the former supervisor, animal care and control champion , katy tang. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. as i was telling some people here today, the only thing that will take me out of retirement from attending press conferences is something to do with animals. i am so excited to be here and explain a little bit about how i got involved with animal care and control, and really wanting to see this facility rebuilt. aside from the fact that i grew up with a mother who was a vegetarian, at one point in our life, my dad said, i want a dog, and we were shocked that he all of a sudden in his life, in his early fifties or so wanted a dog , and so we went to animal care and control every weekend for four months straight to search for the perfect dog for

him. in that process, i saw the facility first-hand at a.c.c., and it was heartbreaking to me, and then of course, working in the city took additional tours and learned that there's not enough space for animals being quarantined when some of them have diseases or illnesses. i mean i saw that animals had to be strapped to some of the banisters as they are doing intake, the elevator, i mean, don't even talk about that. just the conditions that the employees had to work in where animals need to get x-rays as well, and there was improper shielding of the radiation in those rooms, so it is not just about the animals, but all the people who work at animal care and control and those conditions i think the conditions are really sad, and i'm so excited that we are standing here today to hopefully, and a very short amount of time, you will have a new building. but also the other thing, even to this day, a lot of people when i talk to them, they actually don't know that we, as

a city, have an animal shelter. they are familiar with the different organizations and nonprofits that help with animals, but a lot of them -- you all know because you were all here, many of you don't know i think it is really important that in a city where we have an estimated more dogs and cats and other animals than we do children, that we really do have a world-class facility for them and their families. lastly, i will say that a.c.c. and the staff there, you do all that work, and you take in the animals that other organizations , or whatnot, might not be able to take in. you take exotic animals, you take the wild strays, you also, yourself have to handle those that get killed on our streets, so you handle so much, and you are really deserving of a world-class facility. i'm excited to be here today, and thank you to every single person and department that made this happen. i'm looking forward to the ribbon-cutting. [applause]

>> and of course, i have to introduce the next person who doesn't really need introduction , mohammed nuru. [applause]. >> thank you. it is always great to see you. i hope you are enjoying your life outside of city hall. i know that is how important this project is to you, and i'm so glad you're able to be here with us today. good morning, everyone. i serve as your public works director, and just like everyone else, i'm very happy to be here today, even with the wet weather , seeing how many people are out here shows as how important this project is to so many people and of course, the animals. today is an exciting day for our city, and an exciting day for san francisco animal care and control. we are celebrating the start of unique project, and it brings me great pleasure and joy that public works will be overseeing

the design and construction of the project. it is not every day in san francisco that a modern structure more then a century ago. that is what is happening right here. the new animal care and control facility. the new shelter will be built with the original brick warehouse behind me, the building was constructed in 1893 and served as the original market street railway corporation. it is eligible for listings on the state national registry and historic basins. it served as a maintenance facility for the sfmta overhead lines. the reuse of the building will be an elegant nod to the city's pass that serves the needs of the 21st century san francisco that historic brick face and wooden frame windows will remain

intact, while the interior will be transformed into a state-of-the-art, multilevel facility billed to serve the needs of san francisco for many years to come. as mayor breeden said, we must think about the future of san francisco today, and there's no better way to do so by investing in capital improvements to our infrastructure. public works is proud to be working with clark construction and the many people who will be working on the projects. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, everybody. we are going to do the ceremonial gravel shovel thing, and then we are done. there is tons of delicious food that clark brought that is right outside, food and drinks, and we hope you all stay around for a bit and enjoy each other.

good morning and welcome to the san francisco county transportation authority for ma. our clerk is mr. alberto. can you please call the roll. (roll call).

we have a quorum. >> next item please. >> clerk: chair report. this is an information item. >> this month we saw another round of coverage in the media of our tnc research after a paper by the university of kentucky was published in the journal of science advances. this data continues to inform our planning and policy work to help us target where to direct revenues for traffic safety and transit improvement should the voters pass the tnc congestion measure that i'm introducing today with mayor breed for the november ballot. yesterday, i was quite pleased to see reporting in the "san francisco examiner" that a california appeals court affirmed a lower court's ruling that uber must comply with the

city attorney subpoena of trip data. they agreed they must turn over illegal parking, disabled access to driver pay and extent of excessive driving. lyfl has agreed to comply last year. while the tnc provide the data to the california public utility commission, it is unclear what they do with it. the data is still not available to the public or local governments. we liable data is extremely important as this information can help the city effectively manage traffic, potential collision points and equitable access for riders. i appreciate the city attorney's office for leadership in seeking this data. our staff for their work on this and the courts for upholding the city's right to obtain this critical information.

it is beyond time for the state to update outdated regulations and ensure the city and public can manage congestion. california public utilities commission i hope you are listing. another area is my work with supervisor wal walton regarding caltrain governance. we will vote on a resolution later today at the board of supervisors. i wanted to hear from the members of the public following the caltrain businessman which we support. we recognize faster caltrain from santa clara and san mateo and our county and acknowledges the clear coordination to meet ridership demand and support blended high-speed rail plans including the extension to the transbay transit center. as we consider ways to

strengthen the agency with revenues discussed in the form of sales tax or measure it is important to establish the principal of dedicated caltrain agency with capacity to undertake expansion with the railroad and coordinate and manage the substantial assets including land assets. we look forward to collaborating to do this over the coming months to next year. with that i conclude my comments. any public comment on the chair's report. seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner row ronan. >> i want to thank you for your incredible work on what you are introducing today. i think it was brilliantly handled and i appreciate you for that and would love to co-sponsor to be part of that. >> i would love to have all of you co-sponsor with me and mayor

breed. i see supervisors mandelman, brown, haney, row nan, fewer and anybody else that wants on let me know before 2:00 this afternoon. >> commissioner ronan: i'm not done. sorry. that was just the beginning. both supervisor fewer and i sent our staff to washington, d.c. from april 27 to the 30th to participate in the people's action convention. it was a convening over a thousand advocates from across the country to share information and strategies to address pressing issues including climate change and be justice. our staff and here is the connection to my opening comment. our staff participated in round table discussions how communities are fighting back against private public transit.

they shared how local transit systems have begun to partner with ride-sharing companies to perform public functions including ride sharing for seniors and those with disabilities. they shared concerns about this trend towards privatization and discussed pushing back locally my staff participated in the direct action at uber headquarters in dw demanding better working conditions and wages for uber drivers as a global effort to bring visibility to the low paid ride share workers. it is important to face challenges with ride sharing industry and i'm glad our staff was able to go and hear from the legislatures and community advocates. >> chair peskin: thank you, commissioner ronan. >> commissioner fewer: thank you, i agree. i think this trip was beneficial

to both offices to connect with advocates and legislators working on policy issues on transit and energy and environment as we grapple with the challenges. staff learned from legislators and community members to build out division for a green new deal to benefit public transit at the municipal level, giving ongoing financing challenges that we are certainly sympathetic to in san francisco. they learned about protections for industry workers and made lasting connections with other legislators and policy workers to advance the critical issues at local and state level. i think it was a positive trip and we appreciate the support of the ta to access these kinds of important spaces. thank you.

>> chair peskin: thank you. seeing no additional comments from members, next item please. >> clerk: executive directors report item three. >> i have an update at the state level. high-speed rail project hit another obstacle. the federal government through the federal railroad administration are terminating $929 million grant for the project. this is not surprising. unfortunate but not surprising. this has been happening since the early part of the year. the governor did respond the administration's action they believe is illegal. the state would vigorously defend the grant in court. it has been appropriated by congress. we anticipate it will take time to be resolved. we are continuing to work on planning and the review work with high-speed rail and partners with the city and state

as well as making sure elektrification is moving ahead. this will affect further enhancements to the blended corridor. i had the honor of sitting in for supervisor haney at the recent meeting of the transbay joint powers authority. we did hear a report from the american public transit association invited by the tjpa board to undertake a similar organizational assessment as we are doing here at transportation authority. i do recommend that report to you and i it is on your desk. essentially they found that the projects are very strong projects, however, the administration of these could benefit from both during the internal staffing of the tjpa, particularly in certain areas

and overall capacity as well as to understand lessons learned from the phase one project to better understand how the construction management could be better administered and strengthening the oversight going forward for the downtown extension. we would be happy to ask them to come back and present perhaps next month or in the future as we conclude our report and these findings did inform the deliberations of our peer panel and they did resonate with them. the appeals court ruling that chairman chin was welcome news. we ensure the trip data can be made available for analysis and forming policy on vision zero, this is our major initiative to applease to ensure safety of the streets. we want that to be timely

activities that we can bring forward to you. we will hopefully report back in the next month or two about the implications of the new ruling. on vision zero, mayor breed called for 20 miles of protected bike lanes for two years. we want to commit staff to helping achieve that goal. we were set to program over $11 million specifically for bite network improvements over the next five years over prop k. as you will hear this morning, the connect sf program is set to advance the bike net work through the streets and freeways planning effort. turning to the local level. i want to mention updates on the traffic program. the coordinator hiring is underway to support safe routes to school as well, we have traffic calming residential program taking applications from neighborhoods and those are due on june 28th.

there is time to get the application in if you would like to apply for improvements on your streets. finally, the construction management association of america are doing a joint night for those interested in contracting opportunities may 22 and at 5:30 p.m. at the san francisco war memorial greenroom. we will be there with 20 other agencies to ensure there is good information on the procurements happening in the region. thank you. >> chair peskin: any questions for our executive director or public comment on the item? public comment is closed. mr. clerk please read consent agenda. >> clerk: five to seven were approved and are for final approval. they are routine. staff is not planning to present. it will present if desired.

if any member objects they may be removed and presented separately. >> chair peskin: any public comment? seeing none it is closed. a roll call please on the consent agenda. >> could we get pay motion? >> motion by commissioner fewer, and commissioner yee. (roll call). >> clerk: we have final approval. >> chair peskin: next item please. >> clerk: authorize executive director to execute agreements and documents required for

utilities and right-of-way property acquisition for yerba buena island south gate road realignment improvements project including offers to purchase for an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,534,760 and services agreement all with the united states coast guard and utility agreements with various providers in paamount not to exceed $750,000. >> this is phase two for south gate road realignment project. i want to direct you to the screen that shows the eastbound off-ramp that has been closed for 15 years. the goal is to reopen the off-ramp and realign south gate road from left to right. south gate road from the western

slope will come into the interchange area, go underneath the off-ramp. the movements are grade separated. it is a much safer path for cars and bicycles and pedestrians in that regard. the project itself just as a reminder, we are finally at a pint for final approve els on the design and right away working with all entities, stick leo o particularly coast guard. they have worked with us through complicated right-of-way negotiations and agreements that, frankly, in a lot of respects are allowing us to move forward to the construction schedule this fall. we plan to advertise the project july, award by october, start construction in the fall and complete by the spring of 2021. we have been working actively with caltrans to add more the

federal high bridge program and proposition 1b in terms of funding. it is a $51 million project we are right now ready to pursue the final agreements that we need in front of you. let's talk about the right-of-way applications. it shows quarters 8 and 9 in blue. that, in essence, we need for the construction project. other parcels of 1 are needed. what is important to recognize not only are we buying right-of-way for the project that we are going to construct we are preserving the right-of-way for future bike path on western side of the island as well as forest ready tour to allow access to and from the coast guard facilities. all parcels will be transferred

to tida or caltrans. we need them to go ahead to have possession and use and transfer these either during the construction for the tida parcels and at the end with caltrans in the parcel in red. the recommendation is to authorize executive director to execute the service agreement. they are standard u.s. coast guard agreements we worked details out with them and prepare ourselves for future transfer of right-of-way to caltrans and tida. looking for executions for the deeds here. we have additional utility agreements. we want to make sure we put in the appropriate conduits and infrastructure for future development of the island. that concludes my presentation. thank you.

>> thank you chair for the report. i think i know the answer to this question. to get us ready for the future. is there a jobs plan in place in terms of the work force needed across the trades and types of subs for construction as we get ready for construction? >> yes, we are working with that right now. we will implement a jobs program in that regard. we just met with one treasure island in particular, and we will work towards executing a jobs program in that regard. we have federal fundings. we have to work out the details so we are not in violation of the federal law? >> is that something to send forward so we can see what trades are needed? >> definitely. >> chair peskin: any other questions from members? any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to move item 8

made by commissioner walton, seconded by yee. same house, same call. item is passed on first reading. next item please. >> clerk: item 9. horizon and plan bay area 2050 update. this is an information item. >> excuse me while i get the presentation up. thank you, chair peskin, commissioners. i am a senior transportation planner in the transportation authority to give you a brief update on the ongoing other sidon process we are engage --

horizon process and to 2050 which we are kicking off later this year. we will go through the different components and talk what this is and why it is important to san francisco and get into our process of working with local stakeholders, partner agencies and you our board based on the san francisco priorities. horizon is this big picture unconstrained planning exercise that mtc and the staff are working on right now to assess how various strategies, policies and investments can help move the region in the right direction no matter what kind of future the region faces. horizon is staff driven with almost no opportunities at the commission level for feedback and no action on the part of this board as well. we have been provided updates through director chang's reports

to you and presentations to the cac. horizon's outputs will inform the ultimate plan bay area which is the region's required regional transportation plan and sustainability community strategy. at the beginning of the process in 2018, mtc staff did outreach round throughout the entire bay area to inform the guiding principals, which are the aspirations of the bay level at a very high level. they are using these to assess how various strategies and policies identified in these white papers in the middle and how various transportation investments. they are looking at-large transportation investments to improve the future no matter what it looks like. they created three divergent futures with different national policies baked into these,

environmental conditions and various levels of technological advancement meant to represent the what ifs the bay area is facing. the idea is the strategies and investments that perform well in each of these scenarios would be those recommended for the ultimate planned bay area. horizon is nearing completion this summer and planned area will kickoff immediately after the start of the fall. what is it and why is it important? this is the required update to the regional transportation plan and community strategy. the previous area was adopted in 17 that is 2040. this is equivalent to the county wide transportation plan that looking at all of the different components at work in this case in the bay area and how we fund

it with all sorts of revenue from federal government to local to our transit fares. while horizon was unconstrained planned area has the three components here. the big one is it has to accommodate the projected population growth in the bay area within the confines of the bay area. plan bay area has transportation investment strategies. it has to be fiscally constrained package. they will lay out the amount of funding the region can expect to receive over the next 30 years and what it can be investing in. so the transportation projects within plan bay area have to fit within that fiscally constrained package. as cma for san francisco we are

responsible for coordinating the san francisco project submissions. we are working with the project sponsor and agency partners to identify the projects we would like to see in plan bay area. the first step was identifying tans formative projects. that was part of horizon process looking at major transportation investments that were identified in the previous plan such as gary brt, better market street, downtown caltrain extension. those are updated from plan bay area and are in mtc hands. we are identifying regionally significant projects, these are smaller dollar amount projects that still have capacity change to various transportation systems. we are are working with m.t.a., port to identify the projects. ongoing mtc reached out to the

transit agencies to identify state of good repair needs to make sure we keep the fleets and local streets and roads up to good repair. later this we will identify program categories of investments. this is everything that isn't the big dollar amount projects. all of those bicycle and pedestrian projects important to safety and communities are included in the programmatic categories, everything with a safety component is included. we have a list coming up. i will wait for that. in order to inform what we put into mtc's hands for plan bay area we brought you a draft list of goals for san francisco. from the previous plan where we identified the goals for san

francisco with the board we managed to get a few wins in the plan. it prioritizes funding for operation and maintenance of the existing system which is crucial. it emphasized core capacity transit investments. these are improving the existing systems that we have. we also had a number of projects submitted that were high performing in the project performance assessment that mtc conducting. treasure island congestion pricing including the management program the top score as well as downtown congestion and cal tran. just to give you more examples the named project on the left from the previous plans are the big project. then we have a number of

categories that encompass the other projects in the city including long-range rail work, streetscape improvements. our next steps we are part of a shared public feedback process with connect sf which i won't get into too much. that will be after me. we are also working with our stakeholders and presenting to you a draft set of goals for san francisco for this entire process. we would like to finalize those goals and have this board approve them in the july meeting, and we are working with our project sponsor partners on the list of regionally significant projects for this planning process and we will bring that to you in july for approval. with that there is a couple of websites on this slide if you or

your staff are interested in learning more, and i can take any questions. >> chair peskin: commissioner yee. >> supervisor yee: i am looking at some handouts and i want to make sure i am looking at the right ones. i don't know if it is part of the next presentation, but i am looking at maps for the next presentation. it might not be relevant to you, and on one of the maps it shows the job and living density.

i can see that outside of the core downtown area, one of the areas that is going to have high density, the darkest blue, is in the west, southwest, and in anticipating that population growth, i don't see any projects that indicate that there is any alleviation for the transportation needs force that area. am i making sense? >> absolutely. it is totally understandable. camille is here for the map. the list of projects is in development right now, but i can tell you the park improvements the commitment of the developer, the project we are working on

updating to make sure it is accurately represented in the plan. during the transformative project take page that was -- face was submitted last year as transformative. in addition to that, within the programmatic categories we anticipate reliability across the city as well as moving forward is going to be included. >> when you talk about the m line. are you talking about the sort of band-aid approach of moving it over a little bit and not increasing capacity or are we talking about the concept of actually increasing the capacity for trains, which means you have to go underneath? >> that's right. that is the projectmi
