since 2013. as supervisor peskin alluded to, the san francisco county transportation authority has studied these in the city in-depth, and last year they released a report that statistically analysed different contributions to the city's rising projections and found that over 50% of the growth in the vehicle hours of delay has been caused by tee and c. we are talking about the impact of laying attacks on the businesses and most of that tax will be passed on to consumers. that will hit patterns of spending in the city, and of course, that revenue will go as supervisor peskin said to the san francisco m.t.a. and the san francisco c.t.a. at the same time, there is a

second thing going on, which is we are taxing a mode of transportation that is shown to create congestion and using that money to fund modes of transportation that could reduce transportation. there is an economic benefit. unfortunately, the first of phnom -- economic impact, with the data to analyse, and the second we don't. when i say, as we conclude in the report, that this is a mildly negative economic impact. that is a result of placing the tax on the consumers and spending the money at the city. it is a fairly small impact of 25 million-dollar reduction to the g.d.p., which is less then the tax that is raised. we are not able, because of data limitations to estimate how responsive t.n.c. ridership would be to be an increase in fares, although we expected to decline somewhat. the only kind of caveat that we mentioned in our report is about

the proposed tax and it also includes autonomous vehicles. at present, there are no autonomous vehicles doing rides in san francisco. the case against the tee and c. is there currently constituted for causing congestion. the evidence that autonomous vehicles will cause congestion is somewhat less clear. they miss -- they wish to make carefully consider whether they want to discourage autonomous vehicles in the future. i'm happy to take any questions that supervisors have at this time. >> thank you. seeing no questions, we can take public comment. >> both of you, you have your values mixed up. i will not let you fall for that

first of all, your congestion is not caused by the people who are working and transporting people around the city. your congestion is being caused by the department of transportation and kel tran. you had two bridges that are located side-by-side. you did not have this problem until kel tran and the department of transportation pertaining to this date destroyed the bay bridge. there is nothing wrong with that bridge. you use dynamite, tnt, and explosives to blow up that bridge. you did not have the congestion and after the last explosion that took place to destroy that bridge, they're putting the tax on the people that are buying gasoline in order to to prepare

our roles and maintain our bridges. they just use dynamite to blow up the bay bridge. and about your taxes, your taxi people and the persons that are writing the fares, you do not want to tax them. you want to tax the executives and management that have millions and trillions of dollars in the backs of the drivers of all of the taxi drivers that is working and moving people around. they are not responsible for the congestion. you have a tendency of blaming people who don't have a damn thing to do with the problem and tax them. you need to tax executives who's getting these multibillion-dollar bonuses and by the same response the taxi drivers get to sleep in their cars, wait at a location for hours and then turn around and they won't have a place to live, and then they come back to the location -- [indiscernible]

>> thank you. thank you, mr. wright. >> all right, that is enough. >> are there any other members of the public would like to speak on the this item before public comment is closed? not right now, thank you, mr. wright. public comment is now closed. all right. thank you, supervisor peskin. did you have any final remarks? >> i do not but i think supervisor mar may. >> i would like to be added as a cosponsor. thank you for all of your work on this. >> thank you for clearing the way so that we have a relatively clean ballot. i also failed to acknowledge been rosenfield who was remarkably helpful, so i would like to thank the controller as well and then in one last remark relative to zero emission vehicles, mare breed and i have teamed up and supervisor

mandelman and i have cosponsored an effort to require electric charging stations not only in city garages and parking lots, but in private ones. i think that will go a long way to in scenting this use in san francisco. that was on an unrelated note. we don't have any speakers for today from the coalition for clean air, but this is fundamentally a congestion mitigation tax and that is the rest of it. with that, i would be delighted to send this to the full board with recommendation. >> that is a motion. we will take it without objection. thank you do we have any more items before us? >> there are no other items. >> we are adjourned. thank you.

three major construction projects that are about to embark here and actually already started. i'm going to start from the top of the screen there that shows the michaela road construction. it is planned to be completed by the spring or summer of next year. there we go. my apologies. the project that the transportation committee has been leading is the off-roading of that off ramp, and the realignment project, taking south gate road there and realigning it. and the other major project that should start probably the summertime of 2021 is the west side bridges. as you see there in kind of a

light orange color, that we anticipate starting in 2021. we're at approximately 60% design. i will get into details now on all of these. right there, what you see is basically an artist's rendering of the final completed in essence construction project that we're about to start hopefully this fall. we're very close in that regard. we're frankly at a point where at a primarily funded effort there. we've been working with the state and to get the federal funds for this. we're at a point where we're targeting the fall construction

advertisement. frankly, we're shooting for september. final processes here will require us to get the final funding allocations here so we can get it out to bid. we're also working with 1 treasure island to establish a local hire program and to get the appropriate program, so in september, when we're starting to advertise this before the board in the fall, we'll be back to present a lot more details. this is a project that's going to take about 16 months, and there's sequencing here that's interesting here. u.s. coast guard has security here where they put us in a

position. this project, deemed the south gate project, will be completed here. and then, we will move on to the next project, which is the west side bridges project. total cost, $83 million, and once again, primarily funded with federal and state funds with contribution from tida. as you heard in the past, we went ahead and are using the construction-general contracting method. we have chosen a contractor to work with us on the final design. we're currently at 60% final design, working with them and the team to establish with what they call in the industry a guaranteed maximum price, so we're working towards going on head and completing all the final design and starting construction in the 2021 time

frame. once again, i do want to add, we will have as part of our job program, local hires. we want to make sure we put in the specs local hires and aspirational goals working with 1 treasure island as needed. we are also studying overall bicycle and connectivity on the island. there was a proposition k9 grak9 -- proposition k9 grant approved. there's some missing links for overall ped and bike

connectivity on the island. let's start on that side, which is pure e-2. that's the caltrans pier that they're actually leaving and repurposing as a pier for the general public. then getting folks up to vista point. vista point is the point that is currently open to bicycles and pedestrians that is part of our y.b.i. ramps project that we completed in the latter part of 2016. we actually opened the vista point in may 2017, so folks can come from the east bay or folks can come from vista point and go across, and what we have there is a real nice setting for folks to basically take a break, use the rest rooms, park their bikes, rest, etc. we have a shuttle established to go ahead and get folks on the weekends to make sure -- because during the weekend is when we have a lot more people on the island. during the week, it's more at

this point construction, so that's been a success story in that record. but the key to this is to show you the top points, and the connect data that caltrans has performed some concept development. and then down to the ferry terminal. it's going to start construction later this summer. but the thought process is to really make sure we do the proper planning so that we can facilitate bicycles and pedestrians getting down to the ferry terminal and getting across to san francisco once we start ferry service. we anticipate having some concepts developed later this year. this is an artist's rendering of what was pier e-2 -- what is pier e-2, and if you were to go out there today, you would see that it's almost completed. caltrans has gonna head and had

a contract with cmtc contractor kiewit construction. what you have i just want to note on the right is the torpedo building. >> supervisor walton: quick question. when did the water get so blue? >> that's kudos to abe, one of our graphic artists. we think this'll be a major attraction on the island. caltrans, to their credit is almost complete with this effort. i did want to mention the historic torpedo building. it was constructed in the late 1800s, and as part of our south

gate road efforts, we're going to put on a new roof and seal it up as much as possible. so caltrans is anticipating opening this in the later -- latter part of october 2019, and we'll make sure we get you information and specifics. i mentioned the data and caltrans western space bicycle span. they've been studying the connection from the eastern span dropoff all the way to san francisco. this is a rendering in essence what i would call the northern point standing on the western side of the island at the yerba buena tunnel, looking towards san francisco. and then finally, i just want

to quickly update you all because we are working on all of the issues that were brought to our attention at the end of last year and earlier this year in terms of our affordability program. we're updating our travel demand and financial demand analysis right now, looking at congestion, financial effects, etc. we anticipate completing this work in the latter part of the summer here, probably in that august-september-october time frame, and then go ahead and start some outreach efforts. we've already started outreach with the business community, working with them at the ground level. we anticipate followup what we call cocreation workshops later this summer and additional outreach. and then bigger picture, we're still targeting and going ahead and launching some ferry service, initial ferry service

from the east bay, and paying for that with some of the tolling that we need to install and the affordability program up and running 2021. so that's my presentation. any questions? >> supervisor walton: can you just go back to slide 7, i believe that was. >> yes. >> supervisor walton: that's more like what we see. >> yes, that's right. that's right. >> supervisor walton: supervisor mandelman, do you have any questions or comments? >> supervisor mandelman: i'm very excited about this extremely pricey bike extension. i think that's more than 300 -- >> it's 400. >> supervisor mandelman: more like 400. although tomorrow at budget, i'm voting a $900 million project to install some can

canopies on market street. so given the budget, maybe $400 milli million isn't as much as i think it is. >> supervisor walton: do we have any public comment on this presentation? seeing none, public comment is closed. we are now at the point of the agenda for any general public comment. do we have anyone here in the audience for general public comment. >> clerk: we do have item 5, introduction of new items. >> supervisor walton: i'm sorry. any introduction of new items? sorry. i skipped number 5. sorry. from t.a.? my apologies, and seeing no one here for public comment, any other items? >> clerk: no, there's just adjournment. >> supervisor walton: thank you so much. this meeting is adjourned.

san francisco is surrounded on three sides by water, the fire boat station is intergal to maritime rescue and preparedness, not only for san francisco, but for all of the bay area. [sirens] >> fire station 35 was built in 1915. so it is over 100 years old. and helped it, we're going

to build fire boat station 35. >> so the finished capital planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must exist on sea level rise. >> the station 35, construction cost is approximately $30 million. and the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. it is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. >> we're looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. the historic firehouse will remain on the embarcadero, and we will

still respond out of the historic firehouse with our fire engine, and respond to medical calls and other incidences in the district. >> this totally has to incorporate between three to six feet of sea level rise over the next 100 years. that's what the city's guidance is requiring. it is built on the float, that can move up and down as the water level rises, and sits on four fixed guide piles. so if the seas go up, it can move up and down with that. >> it does have a full range of travel, from low tide to high tide of about 16 feet. so that allows for current tidal movements and sea lisle rises in the coming decades. >> the fire boat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. >> the access ramp is

rigidly connected to the land side, with more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then it is sliding over the top of the float. in that way the ramp can flex up and down like a hinge, and also allow for a slight few inches of lateral motion of the float. both the access ramps, which there is two, and the utility's only flexible connection connecting from the float to the back of the building. so electrical power, water, sewage, it all has flexible connection to the boat. >> high boat station number 35 will provide mooring for three fire boats and one rescue boat. >> currently we're staffed with seven members per day, but the fire department would like to establish a new dedicated marine unit that would be able to respond to multiple incidences. looking into the future, we have not only at&t

park, where we have a lot of kayakers, but we have a lot of developments in the southeast side, including the stadium, and we want to have the ability to respond to any marine or maritime incident along these new developments. >> there are very few designs for people sleeping on the water. we're looking at cruiseships, which are larger structures, several times the size of harbor station 35, but they're the only good reference point. we look to the cruiseship industry who has kind of an index for how much acceleration they were accommodate. >> it is very unique. i don't know that any other fire station built on the water is in the united states. >> the fire boat is a regionalesset tharegional assete used for water rescue, but

we also do environmental cleanup. we have special rigging that we carry that will contain oil spills until an environmental unit can come out. this is a job for us, but it is also a way of life and a lifestyle. we're proud to serve our community. and we're willing to help people in any way we can. >> the hon. london breed: good morning, everyone. i'm london breed, and i'm the mayor of san francisco, and i'm so excited to be here with you today to talk about what we are doing to provide more

affordable housing to the residents of san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: when i first became mayor last year, i noticed that in the capital plan for the city and county of san francisco, there were no plans for affordable housing, and that was not okay. we made changes, we made adjustments, and we started off with a $300 million affordable housing bond, and that $300 million has turned into $600 million, the largest affordable housing bond in the history of this city. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: without raising property taxes. we did this in a collaborative way. we did this with the leadership of the president of the board of supervisors, norman yee.

we did this with our community partners, including four amazing people who led the community working group consisting of so many stakeholders. folks from labor were at the table. people from the community were at the table. folks from the housing community, from public housing, from all sectors of the community from this city because when we know we need to do something this big, we need to come together. and yes, it was not easy, but i want to thank everyone because the people at the table were open-minded, provided feedback, fought for what they believe in, and now we are here united to make sure that the voters pat this bond in november november. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you so much to the folks who led this effort, including

myrna melgar, tamika moss, malcolm young, and annie chung. because we knew how much money we had, but we also had to make sure that we provided the resources for the things that we needed the most. and as someone who grew up in public housing in this city, there was no way that i was going to allow an affordable housing bond to happen without providing the kind of support that would help residents of public housing, and i want to thank all of you for being unwaivering in your public support for delivering public housing in san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: this affordable housing bond has something for everyone, including our seniors. and president yee was such a true advocate, not because he's a senior himself, but

because -- [laughter]. >> the hon. london breed: i thought you were proud of that, president yee? >> president yee: i am. >> the hon. london breed: but let me tell you, no one does salsa like president yee. but he knew it was important, that fact. you knee it was important that we do good investments, and that's what we're doing with this bond. in addition to providing senior support, we'll be providing housing for our teachers, for down payment assistance, so there's something for everyone. it was a compromise. and again, i want to thank all those on the working group who came together to help make this possible. but you know what? there's also a need to make sure that these affordable

housing units that preservation and the rehabilitation of affordable housing are done with our brothers and sisters of labor. and so i want to thank the labor community, including the leadership of larry mazzola, jr. who sat at the table to make sure that labor was an important part of this effort. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: so many amazing people, so much incredible work and time went into this effort. thank you to president yee again and all the members of the board of supervisors who are very supportive of this affordable housing bond. as i said, this is the largest affordable housing bond in the history of the city without raising property taxes, and so now, the real work begins. once the board passes this bond and places it on the ballot for november, we're going to be looking to all of you and the voters of san francisco to make sure that we pass this ballot measure. we need at least two thirds of

the votes of san franciscans, and so we're going to be working out there and stomping and doing everything we can to get it done, and i'm going to be counting on each and every one of you. thank you all so much for being here today, and now i want to turn the mic over to my partner in this amazing effort, president of the board of supervisors, norman yee. [applause] >> president yee: thank you very much, mayor breed. this has truly been a partnership. it's almost like a model where we start with another end, and another end, we talked to everybody we could talk to, we figured it out. what is the collaboration that we need? what are the elements that we need? how do we serve all the people in san francisco? whether you're a teacher, whether you're a senior, whether you're someone who lives in public housing, whether you just simply can't

make it because of the salary that you're living on, well, i think we've done it. we've done it. it's a start. is this going to answer every question? probably not, but this is going to be a big, big achievement for san francisco for us to put $600 million for affordable housing for our residents. [applause] >> president yee: i'll tell you this right now. i won't outline what mayor breed -- what she had already outlined. it was a battle. we had to fight, we had to claw, we had to prove our point. this came from labor, it came from everybody. even the middle-income folks to came in and say we need help also, we hear you. we will put something in there for the middle-income, as well as low-income. i am so proud of the process that we -- that we took to get to where we are today.

today is going to be a historical vote where the board of supervisors will vote on this bond measure, this measure for housing in san francisco. and then, once we get it on the ballot, it's going to be another historical moment in november, because all of us, all of you will fight for this and make sure that we get 17%, right? and i can't thank the staff and the supervisors enough for their part because the community weighed in early, and we needed to figure out what are the issues that we needed to address. all my supervisors weighed in on the whole process. i want to thank them personally.

almost every one of them. thank you supervisors. give them a hand. [applause] >> president yee: and i really want to thank their staff who did a lot of work. please join myself, mayor breed up here, labor, and just say to you -- just talk to 20 people, all your neighbors, and say this is the most important thing you can do to help our residents in san francisco. we need affordable housing, yes! we need affordable housing, right? thank you very much. >> the hon. london breed: thank you. thank you, president yee. and as he said, this was a collaborative effort, and i just want to recognize, there's

so many people here today. i can't start naming names because you guys will get mad at me if i forget somebody. but i do want to say to the nonprofit housing developers here that work in the community, whether it's tndc, mission housing and others, who continue to provide this much-needed affordable housing, ccdc and others, thank you so much for being here today for your advocacy and affordable housing in san francisco. thank you to the yimbys in san francisco. it means a lot. now i want to bring up one of the cochairs of the committee to help bring forth this amazing $600 million affordable housing bond. tamika moss spear headed the effort. i remember a couple years back

when we discovered we had empty public housing units. we worked with then-mayor ed lee to come up with $200 million to rehabilitate those units. and because of those services, we were able to place 179 formerly homeless families in public housing, and so tamika moss, come on up [applause] >> thank you so much, mayor breed. good morning! we are here on this momentous occasion to acknowledge the leadership of our mayor and our president of this board of supervisors, mayor breed and president yee. i have had the incredible opportunity of leading one of the working groups with my cochairs, malcolm young, annie chung, and myrna melgar to make

sure how the community has a voice in this bond? how do we make sure that every single san franciscan has access to permanent, supportive, affordable housing in their communities? and we have been able to come together and bring folks together around this bond, and i am so honored to be a part of it. this bond, as the mayor said, as the president said, is something for everyone. we have to make sure that the residents of public housing are supported. we need to make sure that the seniors in our community have a place to age with respect. we have a responsibility to make sure that we take care of our first responders and our teachers. the mayor and the board of supervisors didn't just talk about an affordable housing crisis, they did something about it, and i am so excited to stand with them and support this and get this over the finish line in november. guess what, folks? we have a lot more work to do. this is our first attempt to making sure we have affordable

housing in san francisco. we have a lot of work to do. let's get to work. thank you so much. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, tamika. now many of you know this, when we talk about affordable housing, often times when we found in the past in san francisco, you basically make too much for affordable housing but not enough for market rate in san francisco. a couple years -- well, not even a couple years. maybe two years, we worked with a number of folks to change the affordability rates to level the playing field because i wanted to make sure that teachers and people of our labor community were able to have access to the affordable housing that we build in san francis francisco, to the down payment assistance loans and other things, because that's what makes san francisco a great place is when we have true

diversity from various economic levels. so what i'm really excited about in this bond is the amount of support it will provide for affordable housing for middle-income residents. we have here someone who is a beneficiary of the teacher next door program who provides down payment assistance to teachers for the purpose of purchasing housing in san francisco. with us is a seven-year employee of the san francisco unified school district, and she has been working as an educator in our schools with our kids. and now because of this program, she's going to be within a short walking distance of the school that she works at. and so ladies and gentlemen, please welcome cheryl lu. [applause] >> hello, everyone. thank you for letting me share my story with you today? as mayor breed mentioned, i am an educator, i am a teacher,

and i have actually been teaching for 13 years now. eight years of it -- seven, eight years of it was in san francisco, out at star king elementary school, which is out in potrero hill. it's always been my dream to live in the city that i serve and to eventually buy a home. and because of the down payment assistance loan program and the mayor's office of housing and community and development, i am actually living the impossible san francisco dream right now. as of last week, i closed on a property in san francisco, yeah. [applause] >> pretty exciting, and it all worked out. and as with any buying process, you face a couple of challenges. along the way, we made it

happen, and -- there was low inventories when we were looking we were getting out bit. but thank you to the mayor's office of housing and community development and assistance -- down payment assistance loan program, i was able to -- i was able to buy a place, and i'm a teacher, so it's pretty amazing. so i really do thank the support for what the we can do on the low-income, middle-inco middle-income, teachers, first responders, and the labor industry. if i can do it, and i can live the impossible san francisco dream, many of you can, also. thank you.

[applaus [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, cheryl. and our final speaker is someone who grew up in the bayview-hunters point community. she started as a carpenter and is now working as a plumber. she's in fact working at 1950 mission street on that project, and this is why this program was created to make sure that local residents of our city have access to the trades so they could provide the opportunity to help to build this city and also get good wages in the process. but more importantly, she has a daughter entering college this fall. we are so proud of the work that she's doing to help build the city. and so ladies and gentlemen, please welcome stacey provost. [applause] >> thank you, mayor london breed, for having me. i am a proud member of the pipe fitters and plumbers union local 38.

[applause] >> i was born and raised in hunters point, and i began making my living as a cosmetologist. i owned my own business. i opened a hair salon, which i had to close due to rising rent. being a single mother with a daughter going to college, i needed to find a more stable career. at that point, i had found the city build program. throughout city build, i learned the skills required to be a -- to have a successful construction career. i have benefited from affordable housing which is how i was able to provide and support my daughter during the city build process. after i graduated, i became a carpenter, working for carpenter's union local 22. before having the opportunity and the blessing of joining

local 38, which is the plumbers and pipefitters union of san francisco. living here in san francisco in the 94124 has given me the benefit and a stable career to be in and pay rent in san francisco. that's why we need more affordable housing. we need more affordable housing for all of the reasons stated above. we also need this bond to create union jobs for all unions to build more affordable housing. right now, i'm working for o'brien mechanical in the mission street housing at 1950 mission where we are building 157 100% affordable housing units. [applause] >> so what i'm really trying to say is we need to build this

housing so we can support more people like me, more stacey provosts. >> the hon. london breed: thank you, stacey, and thiank you to all the members who came out today. and thank you to all the supervisors who came out today. i know you've got to run back to get back to business. i know we are all looking for a unanimous vote at the board. right, supervisor mandelman? you heard it from supervisor mandelman and president yee first. we're going to get a unanimous vote and we're going to get it on the ballot. we're going to knock on doors and talk to people so they know how important this is for the future of san francisco. we know we have a number of challenges, and the longer we wait to get this housing built, the more delay it is for so many people we know are struggling in san francisco. yes, sadly, people who are

homeless but also people who are living paycheck to paycheck, people who are losing their housing. this is more than just building affordable housing, this is also about preserving our existing affordable housing for the people who are here who are struggling to survive. thank you all so much, and let's get this ballot measure passed!
