i am not an expert on caltrain. i am sure supervisor elsbernd probably has more insight on that than i do. but when i know there will be a couple of cut out so if a caltrain vehicle broke down, the high-speed rail vehicle could go around it. but that would only be in a few areas, so there are significant stretches on the peninsula where if a caltrain vehicle broke down, that would just gum up high-speed rail. i do not know how realizable those are or what that experience is. -- i do not know how reliable those cars are or what the experiences. i thing this is a once-in-a- lifetime kind of opportunity. >> if i may, that is exactly the kind of pushed that we need on policy issues like this. let me clarify that the position that we have been an evolving on this is only intended to throw some technical light on these issues you are mentioning. because we believe that pushing for the final system that needs to be in place in 2050, and pripet -- pretend the only way to get high-speed rail is to have that, and that is pote

together, with the valley transportation authority in the south bay, caltrain, the county of san mateo, the city of redwood city, we applied for a grant with the air district being the grantee. we were having to get a $4.3 million grant. the air district will also be putting another $1.3 million of their own money. then all of the local partners are bringing in various amounts of match and in kind staff. this is just to show visually all of the participating jurisdictions lining up along the caltrain corridor. our plan now is to launch in spring 2012. the overall pilot is 1000 bikes at 100 stations. half of those are coming to san francisco. we have identified a pilot direct service area that stretches from van ness down to the waterfront. and from mission bay in the south as far as pier 39 in the north. station placing will vary somewhat more throughout the introductory area, but we are aiming for more less one station every two to four blocks. this shows a map of the proposed pilot area. i think i've said enough on that one. aside from this pilot area, 500 bikes, we feel san francisc

that permanent station will also be built. >> a few people are out there waiting for caltrain. let's check in with sal on the rest of the commute. >> they are eliminating the need for cars to track the railroad tracks. they are gonna a separation there just like they did in millbrae. it work odd ut -- it worked out really well for millbrae. >>> caltrain does also run in san jose, and by the way, they are on time, according to them, anyways. we check in with them every morning. >>> this moving's commute on 237, crossing 880, we have some -- we have some stop and go traffic. when you get to highway 85 there's been some miner fender- benders. we tend not to have any bill crashes. that sometimes is not the case but today a lot of fender- benders out there. 680 willow pass is one of them. 80 is backed up from pinole valley road into richmond. we also look at the nimitz freeway. that's not as bad. but we do have slow traffic begin -- begin -- beginning after 2:-- 238. let's go to sal. >>> cooler. yesterday it was warm for everybody. it will still be mild to warm well away from the co
