as mayors of major metropolitan cities, obviously folks experiencing homelessness don't stop at your city borders. there's a lot of folks in the smaller communities, neighboring communities. i'm the mayor of everett, washington, just north of seattle. so what are you doing on a regional level to address this, and empower the local smaller communities to come up with solutions that may look very different than what you're doing in the larger cities? >> well, i'm glad you asked that question, because, in fact, we actually are working on a regional approach, and will be assigning an agreement that outlines things we could be doing in the bay area specifically that i think can transfer to the entire state of california. and i know this is the u.s. conference of mayors and we're talking about other cities and other states. but we're really focusing on, you know, even the smaller cities. we've been participating in a group called casa, bringing together a number of people in the advocacy community, the business community, the tech industry. elected officials. all over to talk about what are

and i believe that last year our can pee is one of the lowest out of any metropolitan city. when you wholesale bulk remove that amount of foal age? >> we have a low canopy cover for sure. we didn't have a native forest. we're at a disadvantage. a lot of the cities in the west don't have a native forest the way that chicago -- the trees just pop up out of the ground. there's native trees stock that naturally trees in those areas. we started from an urban environment. there's good and bad, right. these trees haven't been maintained regularly over the years. just like a lot of our trees and we the library they persuade the removal of the 19 trees. we didn't initiate that removal. but the street scape project is bringing us to the 16th street and we've got to look at the trees on that corridor. just like van ness. if there's a lot of activity and a lot of work, are the trees in good enough condition to withstand all that. it gives us an opportunity to remove trees that are very poor structure and replace them. in this case, the street scape would fund the replacement trees and we

you see managed lanes in development in all top ten major metropolitan cities in the united states. d the reason is because they're a modern, high-tech solution that are delivering real results in these cities. you take our express lanes, our customers save 3 million hours last year on the express lanes. on 495, transit service has increased 64%. we're pleased to welcome 1,000 buses a day on our network in northern virginia. carpooling has increased 550%. we have more than 100,000 carpoolers on the network. and this fall we look forward to making our first transit payment. we'll be providing a sustainable funding source that local government can depend on, starting this fall for the next generation to be able to support other public transportation options in the region. so this is something we're very excited about. 395 is going to open to the pentagon in the fall. fredericksburg is under construction now or near construction and new expansion to tackle the american legion bridge, showing how public/private partnerships can bring the best of the government and private sector to deliv

(catherine) uber prices are going up in one metropolitanrea. now other cities are watching the changes closely.... as drivers have mixed reactions... (ken) and we're continuing to track the storm.... kron4 news at 6 will be right back (catherine) a new driver minimum wage law in new york is driving uber fares higher --- and not just during peak travel times. an uber spokesperson says the increase is based on time and distance. all drivers will take home just over 17 dollars an hour after expenses. other cities... including san francisco... will be closely watching how the changes affect ride-hailing firms. this week, ride share services lyft and juno sued the new york taxi and limousine commission to block the new law. they say it couldhurt business. while uber isn't involved in the lawsuit -- in a blog post, it cites problems with the law and how pricing could affect riders.

ones you maybe have not heard of, are banks from other areas looking to get into the new york city metropolitan area because there has not been a lot of new bank formation and handful of new banks started each year. one of the things we're talking about, the two big banks combined, they could be successful in their merger and still could be a great environment for local regional competitors like a pinnacle financial, a union bank share, center state and south state, these are all banks that are in the core markets that could get a short-term boost because of this merger because of the dislocation. >> maybe, tom, i read past it. will they come up with a wholly new invented name? >> it is interesting they've not announced the name and will by the time they close the merger i think that's yet to be determined so still we're all paying attention for that >> tom, thank you very much. tom michaud joining us >>> twitter tumbling today ttt. abuse on services that hurts user numbers or helping in other ways we'll look at and the nasdaq 100. tech leads lower and stocks, may be a dozen or so in the green.

other company that will be looking to see what kind of environment if they come to the new york city, metropolitan area. >> yeah. it's arguably not just new york. google and some other companies are facing pushback from san jose in the heart of silicon valley about their plans to build based on the expected impacts on the cost of living. so we'll have to see where that goes into what's so amazing to me and jim, i want to get your thoughts on this what's so amazing is just a couple years ago, every city it seems in the u.s. was looking to be the next big tech hub what is the signal about the shift in sentiment >> i think it's very significant. there's this resentment that has grown up of the success of the technology sector among people apparently do not see any upside i do agree that you know, not just to amazon, the tech giants have been very arrogant themselves they have not done a great job of communicating the benefits they bring to communities. but they do have a story to tell which is it's not just tech jobs that come when they arrive in an area, it's all the supporting jobs, the restaurants

cities have to function. >> more than 80% of the american population lives in urban and metropolitan areas, and as these cities are densifying, mayors and planners and civic leaders are beginning to look at parks to help them address our pressing urban infrastructure challenges. >> power, water, transportation, waste are really those systems that allow us to live together well in cities. green infrastructure is using natural systems instead of the concrete and steel to provide as many of those services as we can. >> i've been appointed to be co-chair of the u.s. chamber of commerce business task force -- today i will focus on some examples of how parks can handle storm water issues. the idea is how we -- can we manage storm water using green infrastructure, creating a multiuse facility, a park that is publicly used green space during most of the year but underneath it is infrastructure that would handle storm water. along the atlanta belt line, there is the atlanta -- there is the atlanta storm water park, fourth ward park. the rage signal design was to build a major concrete tank under a 16 municipal parking

and we do -- we have worked, as we develop it closely with sfmta as well as other city agencies, the metropolitan transportation commission and other regional partners and congestion management agencies across the state. so there's some areas of focus this year that i wanted to call out. the first pretty much usually on top of our list is seeking revenues for transportation. however, with the passage of senate bill one and the failure of proposition six last year, there isn't much appetite for new revenue, but we will be working to ensure that san francisco priorities advance and that any formula distribution benefits our city. at the federal level, i don't think we can expect much positive there, but we will be working as they start the process to reauthorize the federal transportation bill, which is expiring in 2020 as well as working to ensure that the caltrain electrification gets the funding that yis due o it this year. a second item that we'll be working on is a lens that we will be looking overall the legislation crossing our desk advancing vision zero goals. thirdly, we'll be looking at l

brookings of course has had a long-standing focus on the issues states, cities and in some cases regions for the metropolitanject. but there's a lot more that can be done, at least in our view in that area. the purpose of today's program is to focus on how to make state and city decision-making more effective and also to focus on specific policies. policy organizations for the most part, as we all know 10 the book is primarily on federal policymaking, and we at least think that this should be more focused on the state and local as well, so while part of today's purpose is to contribute to the intellectual work project with regard to states and cities another part is to hopefully encourage others to increase their focus in the same areas. we will begin our program with a fireside chat with the former governor of colorado, john hickenlooper that will be conducted by sudeep reddy who is the managing editor of politico and had been former economics editor of the wall street journal. governor hickenlooper is widely respected and widely recognized for bringing analytic and evidenced based rigor to decision-making

city. and there is indeed plenty of country music, both genuine and fake-ass, but it's way more than that. nashville is one of the fastest-growing metropolitanew up here will tell you the city is in a state of perpetual, never-ending change, and the rate at which things are changing is accelerating. eighty to a hundred new faces move to nashville every single day. some things are constants, others in flux. even with all the radical cultural shifts, the city still remains traditionally southern in its sensibility, for now, anyway. because nashville could just as soon be called punk city or rock city, and you are just as likely to find the word artisanal hanging over the door of a sandwich shop, or a cupcake shop, or a slow-drip coffee laptop zone as anywhere in the land of man buns in the cities of the north. so, of course, the chefs are coming. carpetbaggers seeking their fortunes attracted by a more affordable business environment or just looking for a better quality of life. sons and daughters of the south looking to honor the traditions they grew up with over the more modern sensibility. here's four chefs who helped change things, who wer

city. it has to do with issues of traffic, congestion and development. is such a sprawling metropolitanrea. it has all kinds of problems. it has much more serious crime then santa monica has. it has issues with funding and infrastructure. i don't think santa monica really has to face those kinds of things because it is a much smaller area, a more affluent community. they do have the tourist dollars, so they do have funding when they need it. citycan do more eccentric issues. one is the well-being index they started three years ago. they measured the happiness of the citizens. i can't see l.a. doing something like that. they have too many other pressing problems to deal with. santa monica has the time to look at that. they are not only looking at access to health care, education, things like that, or if you feel ok about your housing, but issues of, do you feel lonely? do you feel stress? they are going to look at this index and use it to guide them and how they make city policy for the coming year. monica has of santa always been very progressive. an also, i think there is element in th
