companies, and i am horrified by the effects of the chasm between the rich and the poor, however, it is increasing. while i have not been here long, the community i serve has been. we have been there 150 years in the mission since the beginning of this city. we have seen our communities flourish and we have weathered many storms. through it all, my faith tradition always commits ourselves to seek the dignity of every human being and seek justice. we pray that all may seek the common good. that is not the same as the greater good, where some can flourish of the cost of others, where those who suffer are seen as some sort of collateral were left out of the discussion entirely. we seek the common good. we all have -- where will all will have enough to meet their needs. it seems to me just that the share of the vast sums released into our city, our i.p.o.s and

related schemes, might be used for the common good of all the people of our city and its environment. thank you for your work on this important matter. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. i am a pastor at first mennonite church of san francisco and i live in the mission. i'm also a leader with faith in action. this sunday, i am preaching from the book of amos, and you are welcome to come, everyone is welcome to come, where the prophet gives warning to those who trample on the needy and bring ruin to the poor. he is mad because the wealthy are turning everything into a commodity and using false measures to turn a profit. as a pastor in san francisco, it is sadly quite easy to make the connections to what is happening today. in a way, it has been happening here since the 17 hundreds, way more than three decades ago. it has been happening to those who are not in the owning class. first in the name of the spanish

mission to exploit the people inland, then in the name of the united states, later in the name of urban renewal in ridding the city of blight, and now in the name of capitalism. you do not need to believe in god to see that the market forces of capitalism are destroying this city, -- at an alarming rate. you do not need to be a person of faith to recognize it is immoral to allow market forces to determine our future. and the warning from the prophet amos is not just for jews and christians to heed, it is for any group seeking to create a just society where the working poor are treated with dignity and unbridled wealth and accumulation are seen for the evil that it is. i believe that even in this place steve in centuries of exploitation and displacement, that the spirit of life can still bring about transformation the question has always been there for leaders in san francisco. will they bow to the evils of death and displacement or will

they be on the side of dignity, life, and spirit? thank you for your work. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is felicia. i am a student organizer with s.f. rising and in the work that we do this summer, i have been talking to a lot of constituents and a lot of them live in the mission, and one conversation i had that really struck me was that someone told me that, you know, they just got married, they are happy, and they want to start a family, but because of the cost of living in san francisco, they are literally putting off their futures. they're literally putting off creating the family that they want. that really struck me because family, a future, happiness and love should not be something that can only be enjoyed by the people who have the means to enjoy it, to pursue it and that is something i am seeing in san francisco. you have heard a lot about the wealth inequality, you have heard a lot about how this

wealth inequality creates a housing crisis, and i just want to reiterate that corporations are helping exacerbate this and they should be paying an adequate share to deal with the crises that they have helped cause. short and sweet, i am done, but please support the i.p.o. tax and help create more equality and equity in san francisco. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi there. i am a third-generation san franciscan, grateful to still be here. i organize the san francisco rising, a local electoral alliance and i organized with college students at s. of state and city college. college. many of whom are paying $800 to share a room, many of whom are working three jobs, you know, they are spending more time working than actually studying and being in class, and collectively we are working on another tax to actually tax the

wealthy, to make college free again in california and it's really interesting to talk to them and try and grasp what a billionaire means. i tell them that, you know, a million inches is 16 miles, that is from here to richmond, california. if you add three zeros, a billion inches would be 16,000 miles, which i try to calculate in some measure that actually makes sense, and it is actually further than from here to antarctica. twenty think about conceptualizing what a billionaire actually is and know that, you know, they only got there through a structure of a peer amid, to the structure of exploitation of people of color and working-class people, it is important to know that it is the root of so many of our issues in terms of the health and livelihood of the majority of people in society. so i just want to encourage you to place this i.p.o. tax on the ballot because morally, this is

what we should be doing, is -- one of my favorite authors talks about how -- his job right now should be to ensure there is never enough -- and never another jeff baze owes. we need to be doing everything we can to limit what corporations are doing to everyone else. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. my name is michelle and i work with mission hiring call. i would like to support this i.p.o. tax in the workforce. the compensation tax could provide funds needed for extensive and in-depth services needed to develop residents that have been left behind these areas of the workforce. with unemployment being so low, under 2%, that 2% quickly climbs for a certain population in our community, be it in bayview hunter's point or the tenderloin , or western edition.

usually this population holds the hard to employ, and with workforce funding being as it is now, the efforts are to quickly train and get folks in sustainable jobs, but what about folks who are experiencing barriers that need extensive services to help them get on the path to be able to even go to work? so as we support this, we would like -- and as we think about sharing prosperity in this city, we would like to encourage you to think about this population. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, my name is lucy and i am a current intern at the chinese progressive association in san francisco and i have been organizing the summer with chinatown syndrome occupancy tenants and workers. through my experience, the families and community members that i work with constantly face housing insecurity as a result of rising housing costs because

of the influx of millionaires due to i.p.o.s, which is compounded by -- also, a someone who grew up in the south bay in santa clara county, in a low-income household, i have also undergone some struggles with the folks that i work with and have been threatened by displacement due to rising housing costs as a result of the tech industry. i support placing the i.p.o. tax on the 2020 ballot because not only is it the first step towards creating a more economically equitable city for chinatown residents in low-income communities of color, it also serves as a model that my own town can follow to combat any inequality in my community. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm sophie and i make college organizer with a chinese progressive association. i currently work with many youth of color, especially asian youth that come through our youth organizing program.

our youth and their families are mainly low and middle income families who have seen the rampant and increasing income inequality, displacement, gentrification, and underfunded resources all over the city. i support placing the i.p.o. tax on the 2020 ballot because the youth i work with our youth organizers and activists that have to go to school, but also fighting for the resources they in their community need. the youth i work with have jobs in high school in order to help keep their families afloat and arent is constantly increasing. many of our youth are part of families that are four or more, but live in single room occupancy households. even as affordable housing is constantly being built all over the city. these housings are often only affordable to high income people and families. i support placing the i.p.o. tax on the 2020 ballot in order to address income inequality. the taxes allow money from high earning people and companies

whose expansion and occupation in san francisco are gentrifying and displacing people all over san francisco. to be allocated towards funding social services that are so crucial and needed for all low income folks throughout the city thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good morning. i am with bright line defence. we have heard astonishing numbers in this hearing, the massive growth in the tech industry, 500%. i think this is not asking for a lot, just to be able to share in prosperity and restore an older tax structure that existed prior to 2011. in fact, multiple tax rings were also given during the recession to try to encourage the growth of this industry, which only indicates -- san francisco has become a victim of its own success. the city is awash in wealth. another astonishing statistic was $175 billion of wealth resides in the city, and constantly, a lot of issues were made of the $20 billion budget that exists at city government. if you just talk with individual

, low to moderate income workers, i thank you will be hard-pressed to find happy stories about living in san francisco. constantly there are refrains about the high cost of living, the quality of living going down and listening to the service provider perspective, burst -- particularly on workforce development, is very important. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am here with san francisco rising. on monday, along with bay resistance, and other labor allies, we helped organize a protest at amazon headquarters to hold them accountable to the ways that they are impacting communities here, particularly immigrant communities and working with and collaborating with i.c.e. we are here today with similar values in mind, and making sure that these large companies and corporations are really investing and accountable to the residents of san francisco.

for that reason, we support and i.p.o. tax on companies such as pinterest, and uber and others to make sure that the vulnerable residents of this city are able to gain some of the benefits of having these large corporations in such close proximity to them. we recognize that as these companies i.p.o., their c.e.o.s and executives are expected to become overnight millionaires, many of them already have, and we are expecting an increase of about 6,000 millionaires to san francisco alone, driving at the cost of housing and disproportionately impacting low income and communities of color in the city. so we have talked to many city voters and asked them about this issue, and most people agree that the i.p.o. tax is needed in this moment and placing the i.p.o. tax on the 2020 ballot will help us support the city's families and communities and really give them the support that they need to survive in this city. thank you so much. >> thank you.

next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is teresa rutherford. i represent 1021 and just to say , first of all, we support the i.p.o. initiative and we are definitely behind it for 2020. we would also like to highlight that, you know, as a labor organization, we see the disparities, we experienced the disparities of our members and the way they are harmed by not being able to live where they work. we see how our members struggle, many of our members sleep in cars, many of our members sleep on people's couches to be able to support the city, to be able to take care and provide goods and services to the city. we, as an organization, a labor organization, also believe that every worker is entitled to dignity, every worker must be

able to live where they work if they so choose. that is not the case in san francisco, one of the richest cities in the world. we see the disparities that ordinary people can no longer live here. we see the outmigration. so we are saying that the i.p.o. tax creates that resource that allows ordinary san franciscans, the people who work and build this city, to live here, so we are supportive of this and we are saying that it is the right thing. that corporate organizations must give back to the cities where they live, where they work , where they utilize the resources and the infrastructure they cannot take. they have to give because they did not build the structure, they came and tried and built a wealth on the structure, on the name, and so they have a fiduciary responsibility, they

have a corporate responsibility to give back to the places where they build their wealth. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is norm and i am proud to serve as the chapter president of the asian pacific american labor alliance. i am a third-generation native san franciscan. both my boys attended wallenberg high school and graduated from there and have done well, but here is the problem. one of them, he basically majored in economics, and he, himself, has asked the question, dad, i'm not sure i can afford to live and stay and work in san francisco. it is my home. so what i'm saying right now to you is we support this tax, but

more importantly, let's protect native san franciscans. please do the right thing. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am a staff person with local 1021 and a resident here in san francisco. i'm here to speak today on support of placing the i.p.o. tax on the 2020 ballot and i support this because instead of creating a city where everyone can thrive, all we -- only c.e.o.s and corporate executives are getting richer while ordinary people are stuck with the bill and struggle with underfunded schools, a broken safety net, and lack of funding for vital public services. voters want corporations to pay their fair share and two for city hall to close the loopholes that help corporations avoid --

continue to avoid investing in the communities that call san francisco home. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. we wanted to thank supervisor marr and his staff for giving the time and attention to this ballot measure that it deserves. taxes are one of the most fundamental policy tolls that -- tools that this body has an income inequality is one of the most important issues that this city faces. it is both appropriate and wise to bring those two together. the business community wants to be a productive and positive partner with the board of supervisors on these issues. we would love to be part of the conversation. it is important we feel like we can be there at the start of the conversation. so as supervisor marr, the board of supervisors, in the city controller continues these tax conversations into the 2020 budget and beyond, we look

forward to working with all of these bodies very closely in a productive and positive way. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, fellow american citizens. my name is kathleen wells. i am the national executive entrepreneur. i am in favor and i move that the united states constitution with the bill of rights is immediately applied in the city and county of san francisco to protect the people's rights, the legal and ordained documents protects people, not corporations and banks. now this is my life's work. i spent my entire life dealing with these subjects that you have been talking about today, but to give you perspective about the asset hyperinflation which has happened, which has unconstitutionally eliminated the right to choose, a place to live, or even a prosperity path, and the wage suppression which has occurred, and in 1971, dr.

william mount, who was a dr. he5 an hour to have the same equivalent purchasing power of that 15-dollar an hour wage from 1971, you would have to make $86 an hour by today's standards. a loaf of bread in 1971 was 33 cents. that same loaf of bread is now $6. at this rate, under the current federal reserve dictatorship and their promotion of their policy for the current status and the policy of genocide, you have thousands of people in the street who are homeless and so they have had their housing stolen. i have -- i have a solution to these problems. i need to talk to each and everyone of you. thank you for your attention. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item before i close public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor marr, did you have

any comments? >> thank you. i just wanted to thank everyone who came out to speak today, especially that community faith-based and labor organizers and advocates and also thank you for all that you do on going to ensure that san francisco continues to be a place where everyone, not just the super wealthy, is able to live, to work, to raise a family, to study, and to retire with dignity into the future. i look forward to working with you all through the shared prosperity coalition and as well as with other stakeholders including the business community and my colleagues here on the board to move the stock compensation tax forward on the november 2020 ballot as one key part of a comprehensive package of revenue and tax reform policies. that can ensure and foster more economic fairness and equity here in our city. thank you. >> thank you. your request as we table item 14

, so moved. i think we can take that without objection. thank you. please call the next item. >> item 15 is an ordinance -- is a motion submitted to the borders -- voters to be held on november 5th amending the business and tax code and administrative an administrative code to impose a tax on the net writer fares for rides facilitated by commercial rideshare companies and rights provided by autonomous vehicles and private transit services, vehicles to fund transportation operations and infrastructure for traffic congestion mitigation and in the city. >> thank you. supervisor peskin? >> thank you. thank you for adopting the amendments i submitted last week i want to think mayor breed who is now the chief sponsor by virtue of the fact that she is the mayor, as well as all of the

members of the board to our cosponsors which are about to include every single member of the board because supervisor marr has generously agreed to sign on as well. so that makes 11 out of 11. i would like to reiterate my thanks to my chief of staff for her tireless work on this over two years, as well as the deputy city attorney, amanda freed from the tax collector's office. we will hear shortly from ted egan around administered -- administer ability. i want to thank her because it is indeed easy to administer and i also, as i said at last week's hearing want to acknowledge the tee and c. companies themselves for coming to the table to come up with the tax that is before

us. as i said last week, this came out of mayor lee and my office's convening of the transportation task force. it was one of the recommendations. some of them we have already implement it from new sources of revenue to address the total of 27 billion-dollar needs that has been identified between now and the year 2045. this would be a proverbial drop in that bucket, as you know. the controller has given us a memorandum saying this would raise 32 or $35 million per year i also want to think something member taking who sponsored the ability to reaffirm our authority to levy a tax to raise revenue for tn sees. it proceeded our local drafting

of the measure that is before you today. the goals are very simple. this is a traffic congestion mitigation tax and we all know that up there with homelessness and housing affordability, it is a top concern of the people of san francisco, and while we can't regulate or t. and c. vehicle traffic because of state preemption, we all know the numbers that we got from the san francisco county transportation authority, indicating that as much as 50% of the increase on traffic on our roadways in the last several years as a result of transportation network vehicles. if we want to get people out of our vehicles and lined up with the transit first city committee , we have to fund transportation for the growing city and as well as pedestrian safety and vision zero infrastructure, and this measure would do just that.

the second legislative digest i think sums it up. this would impose a tax effective january 2020 if approved by the voters this november on commercial rideshare companies in the amount of 3.2 5% of the passenger fare attributable to the city, which means generally that the distance travelled in the city, that would be one point 5%. i want to acknowledge the coalition for clean air that led to the inclusion of a provision that would apply to zero emission vehicles where they would be charged at the one and a half% rate for a period of five years. we did here at the last hearing that something who wanted to that, we want to point out that we want to adjust the tax right.

and we could, if the board board wants to we could ask ben to the language in a simile built 1184 provided for that as well. i hope this meets with your approval and most importantly, with the voters' approval come november. i am available to answer any questions and if it pleases the chair, i will open it up to public comment. >> great. is this the report that we will have. >> we do need to speak with mr. egan. we will tell them there is a negative impact. look forward to his report. >> you switch presentation. >> the only thing i neglected to say is half of the funds would go to the san francisco m.t.a. for improving bus and rail

servants frequency and maintaining and expanding the fleet and facility facilities and improving access which could improve reliability through fixing and replacing rails, overhead wires and associated infrastructure and the remaining half would go to the bicycle facility for motorized traffic. >> great. >> good afternoon. eddie in from the controller's office. this morning our office also lease an economic impact report on this site him and i won't repeat what supervisor peskin has said, but i will cover some of the highlights of our report. starting on page 5, again, this is a tax that will raise the fare and raise the cost of riding in t.n.c. and related

private vehicles in the city. in addition to raising revenue, this will likely have some effect on the city's transportation system and so we have provided a little bit of context to that. the growth in the city that we were just talking about has also had an impact on transportation. we have seen a growth in number of vehicles in the city. a much greater growth in the decline of average speeds. the m.t.a. has shown the average evening vehicle speed from 2011 to 2017 as a consequence of traffic congestion. the average travel time to work two jobs in san francisco has increased by 15% in those six years. if you multiply that through by the wages that people make and the time that they spend, the increased times people spend commuting and we valued that commuting time at half of their wage which is a convention among transportation planners, that is a 3 billion-dollar drag on the city's economy that we didn't

have three years ago. my colleagues in the city services are in the controller's office that do a city survey every two years. since 2013, they've asked people about the transportation behavior and this is a chart that is based on data from that survey showing, by different modes of transportation what percentage of san francisco residents you some three or more times a week and both in 2013 and in 2013. the only wrinkle in this chart is they didn't ask the question about tn sees in 2013. so this is a 2015 figure for tn see. since 2015, the number of people who use these more than three times a week has doubled. since 2013, the percentage of people who use every other transportation mode in the city has declined in those six years. the only growth among transportation use in the city

has been tn see sins to that 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.

>> everything is done in-house. i think it is done. i have always been passionate about gelato. every single slaver has its own recipe. we have our own -- we move on from there. so you have every time a unique experience because that slaver is the flavored we want to make. union street is unique because of the neighbors and the location itself. the people that live around here i love to see when the street is full of people. it is a little bit of italy that is happening around you can walk around and enjoy shopping with gelato in your hand. this is the move we are happy to

provide to the people. i always love union street because it's not like another commercial street where you have big chains. here you have the neighbors. there is a lot of stories and the neighborhoods are essential. people have -- they enjoy having their daily or weekly gelato. i love this street itself. >> we created a move of an area where we will be visiting. we want to make sure that the area has the gelato that you like. what we give back as a shop owner is creating an ambient lifestyle. if you do it in your area and if you like it, then you can do it on the streets you like.

>> supervisor walton: albert incident a -- quintanilla is our clerk. mr. clerk, would you please call the roll? >> clerk: yes. [roll call] >> clerk: we have quorum. >> supervisor walton: thank you so much, and i will be filling in for our chair until he arrives in a few minutes. so with that said, are there any questions or comments from colleagues for the minutes? seeing none, let's open this up to public comment to -- for the minutes. any comments from public? no public comment. colleagues, can we have a motion so second and a -- to second and approve the minutes

from may 21st? do we do a roll call or vote? >> clerk: we do a roll call for the first action item. [roll call] >> clerk: the minutes are approved. >> supervisor walton: thank you, and mr. clerk, would you read the next item. >> clerk: yes. recommending awarding three-year professional services contracts with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods, to nossaman l.l.p., meyers nave riback silver & wilson, and wendel, rosen, black & dean, l.l.p., in a combined amount not to exceed $150,000 for

on-call general legal counsel services. >> supervisor walton: thank you. do we have any comment before considering the item? >> the firms are nossaman, wendel, rosen, black & dean, and meyers nave riback silver & wilson. meyers nave riback silver & wilson have been working with aztc and other entities. our c.a.c. board heard this item. we have a unanimous motion and will be supporting it with prop c sales tax fund.

>> supervisor walton: any other questions or comments? no comments, we will take public comment on this item. seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. can we move this item forward without any objection? item is moved forward without any objection, and with that, mr. clerk, please call the next item. >> clerk: update on yerba buena island updates. this is a presentation. >> good morning, eric cordova here to discuss the leadership update, led by tida as well as caltrans, basically. basically, the concept that you have in front of you shows the 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.

>> once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. i just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didn't have to ask twice. you can always find me on the court. [♪] >> we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. they provide what is an

expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a national paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. >> it is great to have this opportunity here in san francisco. we are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. now that that is happening, you know, i i'm looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs -- that these people are here for everyone. i think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as able-bodied, to be able to see and to try different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. >> people can come and check out this chairs and use them.

but then also friday evening, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. >> we offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment.
