in july for the caltrans board meeting. that's why your vote today is critical for making sure we have the local funds in place to be able to move forward with this project quickly. we really appreciate the support we got from staff from all the agencies we work closely with. with this schedule will be issuing a limited notice to proceed in making sure with all have those funds in place. several years of design build and testing and have the system in service by 2020. that's when will first get our vehicles in the last and by 2021. my last slide here is just that we know the explosive growth to the bay area really means we need to look for father had hit it's not just about this article what else can we do on the corridor to make sure we have as much capacity as can. so, for the bottom slide there's been a be a lot of activity the downtown extension from high-speed rail coming, the specific to caltrans, we do want it fully converted fleet. we went longer trains in the future. so we can get the capacity that weight since wer

we are doing this in conjunction with caltrans and some of the local preservation groups. we wanted to honor the terminal and its history before we move forward and build a new transit center. we will be planning to is that will be open to the public in different areas we're working with caltrans on so that folks can have the opportunity to see different pieces of the terminal and learn about its history before we move forward with construction. we will also be holding a media tour at the temporary terminal on august 2, and an open house that will be open to the public the next day, on august 3, in order for folks to comment on about how the temporary, works. different transit operators will have their own tables there, in addition to a tjpa table. actually, in addition to that, we will be hosting some community meetings at the tjpa as well, next wednesday, the 21st, at 5:30 p.m. on a temporary terminal, and on july 26 at 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m., which will be voted on demolition activities so we can update the neighbors and folks who live in the area on the phasing. >> t

that's the way these tribes have been treated by caltrans. >> caltrans is very surprised at some of the things that are being said in these allegations that are being put out to the public. caltrans has our own environmental experts and archaeological experts. and they are doing, you know, truly, they're doing what they feel is best for the environment and for cultural resources. >> reporter: now, caltrans says the timing is also questionable. the agency sent out a final draft of the agreement to all of the tribes involved asking them yesterday so they kuld be done with the chapter. they worked with the tribe that lives in the project area coming to an agreement 14 years ago and only two years ago did these two tribes come to caltrans and approach to get involved. the spokesman saying those two tribes don't live in the project area, about ten and 30 miles away. the attorney for both tribes say they're seeking monetary compensation for art facts they believe have been damaged and destroyed by caltrans but don't know exactly how much money they'll be asking for because they don't know the

i've worked with caltrans on the report. another yearlong effort under the direction of the transportation agency is the california infrastructure priority work group they were organized as an order of the governor to the transportation secretary to look at the state and a transportation in california and look at it revenue side and financial side and try to prioritize and a bring co- heyness so the transportation secreted can get some guidance. they ended up i participated in this group loan with other folks in the bay area but the final report came out with the emphasis open preservation and integration and reform. really get in there and make sure the there funding of maintenance and rehabilitation is addressed. the next step for this work group is to continue on to 2014 and look at the governor's office it's fine to have the structure in place but not an alleviation of the funding. finally, caltrans last week releases their internal program and their recommendations is in line with the ssi t what they did they need to in

there's been close kwoshgs with caltrans. i want to commend our deputy manager and the team on holding doing a lot of outreach and holding a prebid contest we had a lot of developers competing and it dealt with contractors and that will be at the end of october. a couple announcements in terms of the input opportunities. the san francisco transportation plan and our early action plan is really how we're going to spend our propose k tax has kicked off with a discussion on our august citizens advisory meeting. we're going to host 3 open houses with the information on our website it's at october 2nd at the bay view opera house. we know that those meetings are not the way to reach everybody but we'll get 10 organizations to help out with that. we're going to a try other stuff and i want to thank supervisor avalos for that lending us his parking is that a. we promoted circling and gave information on the early action plan. continuing on the green transportation fund as you all know and i imagine many of you have tried out the bike

one permit is issued by the planning department, a second permit is issued by caltrans. some are surprised that caltrans has the authority here, the week -- but because it is visible from any part of the system of the 101, where most of those pictures were taken from, you can see visibility that gives caltrans additional regatory authority. so, whomever operates the board has to get a permit from the city there needs to be a permit from the city that is for it -- which is resolved, and one from caltrans, which is in the pipeline to be resolved. that is important to note. the permit size in the agreement before you is 28 by 99. 28 feet by 99 feet. that is the real-estate we're making available. >> 28 feet in height, three stories, and 100 feet wide? >> if you think about the top of the building being the top of the board, down 28 feet. obviously, it is a five story building. so, that is the real-estate the city has to offer. however, the actual size of the board will be 20 feet by 60 feet. that is a reduction in the size to 1200 square feet. supervisor wiener: in terms of

little number of vehicles into the freeways to improve performances we know that is something that caltrans would like us to look at it will be something to look at some of big strategies that will potentially do the most to help improve the performs and accommodate performs high occupancy or hoov lanes are more transit and vehicle lanes with two or three or more people can use and express lanes that allow a single occupancy such as the ones in santa clara and the east bay they used to have an hoov lane downtown and on 6th street until the loma prieta earthquake and after that the closer that happened that in 1989 it was turned back into a mixed slow lane so with this stem today is for us to share the background information for the goals and objectives frashths and the focus areas for the next phase of the technical analysis on the operation strategies we are working with folks - there's a whole set of folks with the municipal transportation agency would assist and participate in the study focusing on the interface between local streets and the freeway ramps we're participating in other for

caltrans has been through a series of changes. through those changes, we have seen service increases leading to wider ship increases. funded from the farebox and three member agencies, continuing to face the uncertainty with state funding. santrans has a structural deficit. in fiscal year 2011 they reduced production -- introduced a reduction. they are continuing to propose contributions to fiscal year 2012. so, with the uncertainty for one of the partners, cal train already had a structural issue. they do not have dedicated or stable funding sources. in 2010 and 2011, service was reduced to help with the budget. we continued to rely on one time funds. our current contract is with amtrak, bringing change to the system. this is a writer should graf in what you see if the bust of 2003 and 2004, then writer ship -- ridership growing again. i think that the 2011 projection is very conservative and i expect it to be higher than that. in 2009 the cost recovery came over the fare box. looking at caltrain, you can see that we are right in

as it now stands, this contract will be administered by kit -- administered by caltrans.may be permissible to go beyond 20 by 60, but this contract, i have been after the billboard industry for years and stranger things have happened. alerting the system to digital -- digital billboards. this is just a flavor of the type of pressure is behind there. if it will be 20 x 60, it should read that way. the city stands to make a lot more money if illumination is somehow permitted through our local procedures. there will not be a lot of worry over the relocation permit process, when all of a sudden you thought you did not sign anything, but we have. i did not want to go beyond my allotted time to indicate that this is contrary to broader policy perspectives, including the change in zoning, which the mct3 designation restrict billboards -- sorry, 300 square feet on a relocation permit. this sign is four times that size. say no to this contract. supervisor olague: next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am the city planner and also a board member of san francisco beautiful. i am here on

it's currently at caltrans's headquarters in oakland, california. as you know the big topner 2012 was the find of the colombian mammoth that is current on "[stkpao-eu/] [stkpa*-eu/]. the transit center district plan was approved or adopted bit planning commission and approved by the brz. the transbay tower was approved and grant all the project entitlements. and we entered into a purchase agreement for sale of the property for $19 million. we expect closing to occur in march of this year, no later than april 1. parcel b also known as block 11a construction began on the ray cousin apartments which is 120 units supportive housing project by bridge and community [pao-erpb/]ships. it's a partnership with the mayor's office of housing and the redevelopment successor agency and we're very proud of that project because it's our first affordable physically supportive housing project that is under construction. blocks 6 and 7 the redevelopment successor agency developed 409 market-rate and 150 affordable housing units and they are currently finalizing negoti

our model, we mimic what caltrans did. the measures that they took were very successful with the current level of traffic. the question is what happens in the future. there is a metering flight which holds the traffic backed so that traffic does not exceed capacity of the bridge. the metering lights are activated around 6:30 every morning. the queue starts spilling back about three-quarters of the way back. as you can see, the hov bypass extends beyond that. so the question is, is that going to work in the future? just a few caveat on what we did not study. these are all conceptual ideas. there do not seem to be any fatal flaws to the design, but by no means have they been thoroughly analyzed. congestion pricing in our forecast is not considered. on the other hand, bart capacity is also not considered. travel models do not assume that bart has a capacity limit, so of the model keeps on dumping people on to bart, even if they cannot handle them. at the same time, we have not induced traffic. as far as people using it to its

test of the reinforcement still caltrans says she has scientific proof the tower is sounds. and a balanced budget for california has passed and its on-time the reason some say is full of gimmicks. it's not where they're planning where is the problem is the convention and that is there at the same time investigators and the outbreak to salad that served their last thursday. it is a public dispute like we haven't seen in a long time. a major california agency going to tell with the news organizations over the most expensive project in history. and today caltrans fired directly at the newspaper decrying the bay bridge sounds and reporting flawed. and it's been 10 hours and the meth foundation and said the cap is 63 minutes offering new, and a bottle to reporting some unfortunate but from misinformation on the foundation of the tower. setting records the be has raised questions about the integrity of the piles supported the main tower. last week they asked to be to retract that story. today the agency offered a story of its own. >>> dominican have an opinion that as engineers li

that's a short report on the 22 parcels we received from caltrans. you should have a map in front of you to help you refer to these if you're not clear on the presentation. so, in 2002, soon after the parcels had been transferred from caltrans to the city, the city entered into a transfer agreement with the redevelopment agency and this agreement the agency purchased two parcels, parcels a and c. a key tenant of this transfer agreement was a so-called true-up division which said that any funds left over after the city fulfilled its obligation under the agreement with caltrans would be given back to the redevelopment agency to adjustor true up their purchase price. this was a foundational premise on which the transfer agreement was based. the redevelopment agency came forward with funds from the low mod housing fund which were instrumental in the construction of octavia boulevard with the understanding that the purchase price would be adjusted in the future. in addition, the transfer agreement included an option to purchase an additional five parcels,

on january 3, 2011, caltrans awarded the agreement to the selected bidder. their name is the golden link concession air. setting the terms for golden link to design and build phase two of the project and to operate and maintain with a total cost of over 30 years net present value $488 million. as you know, the first phase of the project is being delivered by caltrans in the traditional design and build and is ready to open. subsequent to executing the p3 agreement, caltrans, and today, and ourselves determined some of the planned funding would not be available as originally expected. that is what is in attachment #one, a short -- three items. $20 million in redirected federal earmarks that were identified by mtc at the time the funding plan was agreed upon, but subsequently did not materialize. then there is $13.2 million in urban partnership funds were expended prior to approval of the p3. essentially, our phase one finding -- funding item. and then a $12.5 million decrease in prop k revenues for the deterioration of the economy, after the funding plan was

supervisor wiener: say that development went up that blocked it, or caltrans changed its rules in theure, under the contract would become expendable? >> it would permit up to the 28 by 99. yes, dan is here as well. there would be a review required at the city level. supervisor wiener: what would that be? >> supervisors, good afternoon. this is a somewhat unusual question. but in general terms, this accommodates a certain size and, going forward, should caltrans amend its permit, the review would be a verification of our records that the city did authorize conventions with them but the assignment was being restored to. >> i do not have any reason to believe that caltrans to be our control -- control or that there would be a monster building across from the freeway where they were asked to approve caltrans, if for whatever reason that would change, they may authorize a larger size? >> the permit, in a regulatory capacity, the apparatus would allow for that larger size. supervisor wiener: i know that that is highly speculative and likely to happen, i was just asking. supervisor cohen: th

we are approaching the section a caltrans workers have just finished. it is between metering lights into the incline. the first thing i see is brenda payton as the new lane markings and railings into new barriers. this is the curve that house rentals at and talking about. they said it should be more gentle and it is a very gentle curve. it is a pretty good experience so far. pretty smug. very nicely marked it looks pretty good so far. right now traffic is still pretty light on the upper deck of the bay bridge. >>george: being that al office for life traffic on it all to this as well we insist have so traffic in an account of one of a sub of the on the detail bridge earlier this afternoon, and the best conditions right an apparent it easy traffic on all of the stems. no traffic delays for 580 on the richmond and then recovered. >>brian: we have some a chance of off and on this body light rain of the morning hours. a a quarter of an inch of rain in the wettest spot at the highest elevations. for tuesday, things changed. we will see a lot of sunshine retur

we're working with caltrans on these, and we're basically adhering to a standard caltrans wall, but then trying to make these morass net i canly appealing to the neighbors by providing some landscaping on the outside. i've got some slides of those. the other things i'd like to point out that have changed since my last presentation, if you look at the entrance on third street, one of the items that came up as part of our value analysis is that was identified as kind of a problem area as far as circulation for buses coming in, as well as the private vehicles that you still -- that use perry street. so we're redesigned that so segregate the bus traffic from the private vehicle traffic, and we've kept perry street as a two-way street. so we think that's a much better configuration and a lot safer. the other item that we have changed since our last presentation is we've moved the caltrans -- the a.c. transit administration offices over one bay, so they're one bay closer to second street. what that has allowed us is to provide tandem parking for the buses in the previous spot, so that increase

we need caltrans participation to do that. we need muni to help us with adequate bus service for people that will live out there. they have to be able to access the city. muni is starting a beautiful new facility. maybe they need a similar one on treasure island. this is something that we would like to throw out as an idea. obviously, the port will have to be involved. with this meeting -- this many people needing access to the city, this is very difficult to maneuver with coast guard and other regulations. we need the involvement of the port. there will be a need for a school. that many people in an area with restricted access, we need a hospital than the. all of us are leaders. when we work together, we are much more effective. i am asking that a simple procedure is allowed to submit ideas. thank you. >> is there additional public comment? >> good evening. i am representing the san francisco green party. you can reference most of what i will say in the sixth page comments that i sent to the environmental impact report. there

>>george: that is one thing that caltrans credited, the dry weather. that is one thing that helped them stay so far ahead of schedule. great relief for the people in marin county would normally be using the golden gate. saturday was a nightmare commute. there were reports of two hours waiting just to get on to the bridge. all of that is done for the weekend and in time for the coming home commute tonight which is likely to be heavy both through marin stand on the east shore freeway. right now we are not tracking any hot spots or delays. it is holiday light traffic around the bay area. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. and there are no delays either east or west found. the golden gate is not even set up for a normal commute. >>mark: another developing story we're watching out of the east bay, a robbery suspect remains at large and another injured. it happened around 11:30 p.m. in east oakland around the 2000 block of the 67th ave. here is exactly where it happened on the maps. an armed robbery in the area just before the shooting. in respondi

ab819, which would require caltrans to establish procedures for non-standardized designs for bicycle projects. this was approved by the governor. another bill of interest would be ab1532, the speaker's bill, which would set procedures for use and distribution and cap and trade funds. i will go into this further. i think this would be of great interest to the board of supervisors with respect to the designation of the funds and the revenues that will be generated from the cap and trade program. next is ab2144, which is another bill sponsored by the speaker assembly member perez. this bill would expand the isd law and reduce the voter threshold for creation of an ifd and issuance of bonds for the ifd. unfortunately this was vetoed by the go for. there is discussion about it coming back next year. another bill of interest is sb214. this was vetoed by the governor and would have eliminated voter approval requirement for the city or county to creative ifd and expand projects. >> did the governor give reasoning why he showing hostility for ifds? >> no. >> redevelopment reaction or -- >> co

this is a self-help bill to maintain caltrans funding and we recommend support on this bill. the next bill is ab1950 on page 9 of your matrix. there also recommending a support on this bill which permits 10% of state grants to schools to be expended on hard infrastructure in addition to bus shelters. this would include grants for sidewalks and pedestrian walkways and bikeways. the next bill is ab2147 on page 9 of your matrix and we recommend a support position. and this bill was recently amended to enhanced penalties for violations of our railroads and fixed guideway crossings and would allow a revenue increase to allow safety and other measures that are needed. the next bill is on page 12. we are recommending a watch position. this allows unfolding like carrot -- carriers and for the transit buses that would otherwise violate bus lane laws. this was introduced at the transit agency. we are recommending a watch position right now. we believe muni might want to get an amendment later on to add themselves into the bill but this would occur later in the process. the next bill is
