as a cabdriver, i'm not looking to park at the marina green or at christie field. i will just be dropping off. maybe a little bit of consideration will be appropriate for the folks who need it. i had one person in a wheelchair and their family and i had to drop them off way out of the way. [tone] i would appreciate more out reached in that regard. thank you. >> thank you. >> mary toronto followed by david barlow. the >> good afternoon, chairman and directors. i am troubled today. your only giving us two minutes. i hope on item 11 you will give us threeçó minutes, due to the fact that is a major change to this industry. i beg you not to give this short shrift. i urge you to give us three minutes on number of love and particularly. you know the tax does not exist at this point because all of these people reside. i have seen some of these letters on line. it is troubling. i think you should be concerned as a body, not just one director, but all of you should be concerned about why this occurred and should have a discussion about this and actually get to see some of th

if you're looking for a free view, we're told san francisco's chrissy field or marina greens should be great vantage points. we'll be breaking into programming tomorrow to bring to it you live right here on nbc bay area. the sight over the golden gate bridge, what's the forecast? sit going to be foggy. >> there's good changes we've started to see where the sky has started to clear out. this will be the most dramatic shot we'll see tomorrow morning. the golden gate towers close to 750 feet above the water and the 747 and space shuttle supposed to do a pass at about 1,500 feet. that's been where all the fog and low clouds have been. but tomorrow morning, looks like patchy areas of low clouds. if you're heading out to moffett field, like jacket weather. should be dramatic and loud across the bay area. i had the pleasure of being able to see this once before when i was in tucson back in college. it is an amazing sight. it is a loud sight but one that will debtly get your attention when it comes through the bay area. a similar day tomorrow as well. you see how skies are starting to clear as

there were a lot of people and a lot of traffic down towards the marina green, but very little in the way of complaints or concerns. we did a debrief the day after the last event where we identified a number of small issues, things that we can improve upon and adjust for the next time, but by and large, i think a very successful effort. a lost work by a lot of people in the agency and outside of the agency to make that happen and to try to make the experience for people coming to see the cup, as well as everyone else who is going to be in the city when it was happening, as good as possible. so we will continue to improve upon that the next event of the america's cup world series is from october 2 through october 7th, which coincides with fleet week. it's going to be an extremely busy weekend, but we're well-served by what we learned from the trial. so happy to report on that. and director heinicke will be happy to hear the next report. something he raised at the last meeting and many prior, including prior to my time here and this has to do with the speed of the trains in the twin peaks [tk-upbl/]. tunnel

or i did not talk about park wide. it is a coalition of bike rental companies that have four station areas in san francisco. union square, plaza right by here, the marina green which is a great station for this and golden gate park and the satellite parking lines up nicely with these stations so you could park there and pick up a bike and ride it and drop it off there and take a cab back and get a ride back and that gives you the extra flexibility. >> the cabs are going to be organized in a way that they will be right around the areas where they expect the most people. >> actually i heard that we are looking at having 150 more cabs running than a typical weekend to accommodate the demands. >> okay, i think that i have run the gamut. people can hear as well. i think that it is going to be very exciting. and i am debating whether i am going to try this and actually get into the mix or stay away. >> obviously, what we would love to do is that everyone comes, tries it and comes back with a really posive experience, that they are not afraid to come, but that they are finding that it is more fun to come in a way that does not require, parking grid lock and congest

marina green. awe we know fleet week has the bulk of the main park. so to the extent there are rec park costs for overseeing that build or, you know, other security things we have to stretch down, one other thing we are doing is bicycle valet. not something fleet week has done in the past but something we have in the america cup people plan. that is something we are expecting our budget to pay for, not fleet week. it is things different and kind from what people understood. those are ones we want to come to us. >> i apologize that i don't actually know this but has fleet week usually taken place with strictly bluegrass festival? >> my understanding is this was a this year thing. that generally doesn't get scheduled together. but there being so few weekends in this time of year, i think everyone tries to pile as many of their great events in as they can. >> okay. thank you very much. why don't we open this for public comment. are there members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, comment is closed. we have this item before us, the amendment on the whole i spoke of earlier. do we have a motion to accept that amendment of the whole? we will do tha

marina green park at 5:00 a.m. those teams will keep leaving until about 4:00. >> the prun, believe it or not, is 200 miles. it will end in calistoga. >> one of the reasons we're here is because the bay area is one of the best running areas in the nation. >> this year the money is being raised for the san francisco police activities league, which has programs designed to keep kids active in sports and encourage them. a lot of hugs going on in there. >> good for them. >>> less check in with sal castanedo and see what's going on in contra costa county. sal? mic, sal? not sure we can hear you now. >> i'm not sure he can hear you. >> he has to find stuff. something is going on in contra costa county. >>> i think steve is in place if we want to check the weather forecast. >> i hope so. >> hey, steve. >> very good morning. a lot of low clouds and fog. a little bit more today. also some high clouds up there hazy and humid. temperatures today will come down. high pressure, though, it flexed its muscle yesterday. it didn't matter on the coast. usually by this time of year, the coast -- the city warms up. that's when
