what we do first is we, that concrete box gets fitted out with the six tracks there and the electrickfiation, and the three center platforms and the lower concourse has the facilities put in and the venttation on both ends of the building. >> and we are not building it at this point, until the trains are selected and we know in fact, the exact width that we might build to avoid the large gaps. and i think that the rail was actually put out the request now. >> and we should know within the next year, exactly what is and which vehicles they have. cal train is going to be getting new vehicles too and be working with both operators, so that we fit out the box finally that fits. and in addition, there will be an extension, if we get an environmentally cleared from the street to the other side of main street and this is at the request of the high speed rail and the federal rail road administration to accept 400 meter quarter of a mile long trains on a straight platform and no curved edge, that extension will meet that requirement and needless to say that we need to put the ventilation shops and yo

the money for everything and for the gpd perspective, the immediate commitment to cal train electrickfiation is important and that is the policy through the board and where we are to have the electrified cal train service by 2019 and that service is to fourth and king as long as the dtx is not yet in place. and so, that commitment is important and i need to highlight that. and but having said that, also, in that mlu. is a commitment to the next incremental investment which is a blended system with the priority to the dtx project and i think that what is interesting, over the last couple of months, and maybe about a year. and it is after we got on board with the blended system. and there has been a need to talk about and a need to revisit a lot of things and because for a long time, we were planning for a high speed rail system that was a fully separate system. and so, when you design around that concept, and then you go from that to a system which is the blended system you have to revisit a lot of the assumptions and how you kill design things and i think that this is very timely and cal tra

and now with regard to increasing capacity there has to be no mention of cal train and maybe electrickfiation, and the fact is that we if we do it right we will be able to get trains an hour in and out of it, and you will get the six cal trains just like they are going there now and actively doebt have any more capacity and as the trains are longer but you will have the opportunity of running an additional six trains an hour, and if you look at it logically the terminal is less than half a mile away from the arena and so you have the capacity just waiting for you and if you would like to disagree with me, look at the 2012 olympic timetable and how we got the trains in and out. >> if there are no other members of the public to comment, we will close public comment. >> commissioner campos? >> thank you, thank you mr. chair, i just want to say that i appreciate the work that staff has done so far and i also want to thafrpg all of the members of the public who have come out. and i do want to make sure that we are or we have a scope that is broad enough to really address all of the issues that cou

cal train just made the decision to do and give a different method to design, build for the electrickfiation and once you make that decision the work has started and this is a serious decision that is worth explaining and it needs to be explored looking at your cost and funding plan and because as you secure it the designs of the methods have the methods on the total cost and cash flow and it is one of the things where the p3 approach is very attractive. and for the benefit of those watching and the board and although you you are more on this and i just want to make it clear that the public, partnership is not a... and it is just like any other delivery firm and they are there to make a profit and i know that one of the steps and i know that brian has started and you need to have a bullet proof business case and i want to be debbie downer but the numbers are very rosy in terms of when the production might start and also a lot to do with escalation costs and the project decides each year and each month because it is big dollars and so we are looking for toward to continuing to work with tjpa
