while there is work happening through the t.a. and through the m.t.a., i think we can bring a unique perspective. i think that there's been some gaps in the city's work. so, first, let me address the gaps. and one of the gaps that my colleague commissioner sandra lee fewer has been working on is taxi drivers and the fact that the industry has been decimated by the t.n.z.s and the fact that many working-class cabdrivers who saved up their entire lives to purchase a medallion and right when they were able to do so and put their life savings into it, hoping that that would give them a secure retirement and profession for the rest of their lives really had the rug, you know, pulled from under them. and are in dire straits right now. and as a matter of fact these drivers come almost every week to the board of supervisors meeting to testify about the desperate situation that they're in and despite supervisor, commissioner fewer's attempts to go to the m.t.a. board an and, u know, to find a resolution so far there's not been one. so if w

west side of the island they are, this, again, was part of the initial funding commitment that the t.a. secured from the federal highway bridge program as well as state prop one b., to reconstruct these projects. participation is limited to only those costs that would be ineligible under those other programs, which consisted, primarily, of some of the preliminary engineering and design, now that the project is moving into final design and construction, i will forward to going commitment is quite small. but again this project is planned to begin construction in the summer of 2020 after completion of the initial improvements on the road, and the interchange on southgate, with bi- 80 and be completed in the summer of 2021. which brings us to the discussion. the equipment will be installed concurrent with the roadway and ramp improvements, and will be in place prior to the anticipated first occupancy at the end of 2020. however, rather than juggling the towing equipment through multiple configurations, as the roadways are reconfigured, we don't plan to commence towing operations until the

take a moment to thank all of the amazing partners on this, besides the staff you see behind me, mta, t.a., and the high speed rail authority, and caltrain, and tjpa has been involved in this. just as a reminder -- and i don't know -- [inaudible] >> we started this for a couple of reasons. one is there were serious concerns that the city had about the preferred -- the existing d.t.x. alignment. the d.t.x. is the acronym for thnelun that would connect the existing caltrain tunnel to the transit center, and the concerns were a number of things. one is the crossing at grade of several intersections through the city. the second was the coordination of several different activities that were going on in that area the se time, so we felt it was important -- we received a grant from the metropolitan transportation commission, to take a step back and look at this holiicall just to point out, there's extraordinary growth happening in this state, and to think about why is it important to connect the southern california to northern california to begin with, the rail project. oyou see the amazing numb

i put it into kind of a math rma of t.a is greater than one plus eight plus 11 plus v. what that means is the trump agreement has to be better than the one iran deal, the eight previous agreements we have had with north korea, the 11 u.n. resolutions which have been imposing penalties on north korea, and the verification has to be equal to or greater than that in the i.n.f. and b.c.w. treaties. that's one of the ways we score it. i take off points for contradictory policy statements. i take off points falling off of what was unalienable never going o give in on a policy point. i don't give or sub tract points because it's a republican administration. we should assess it the way we would obama or bush or anher statement. there will be a very partisan reaction to whatever comes out of it. what we can do is put some analysis to it. and one last point is, just as when we saw a lot of the experts who looked at the interkorean summit, and pointed out the similarities or even the plagiarism from previous agreements which north korea had repeatedly violated, it's also up to all
