one of many that we are undertaking in the balboa park area. some good news, in terms of service improvements to update you on. starting this tack -- this past weekend, on the church we had a variable headway schedule that left a lot of people confused, frustrated, or both. after taking the hearing to the board of supervisors and members of the public, we adjusted that to get service on a consistent nine minutes schedule, which should help to reduce crowding. on the f line, we have increased service every five minutes. we have had a lot of instances where we've were not able to pick up votes in a car. right now we are supplementing with bus service as we get our cars restored. that final part of the respiration issue has been fixed and we should have about seven position of vehicles on by the end of the month. we did not want to wait for those vehicles on this important, high demand service. going to the ballpark on weekends, something that we had a lot of demand for, this is kind of done in conjunction with the express bus, which has been a su

commissioner maufas: i did attend the summer graduation event that was at balboa.he students were incredibly engaged, still. it was like their graduation day, the end of their time. yes, it was more relaxed, but most of them were still excited about the work they had done. they were still engaged with each other. i will say something i noticed that was pretty unique. i have not articulate it yet because it was percolating in my head. i thought it was pretty fantastic. i did not know that those students were from other schools. they all were working together, talking together, playing together. i would have never known they had come from different schools sites to attend this one summer program. they all functioned as one big family. and that is rare in san francisco. i will just say it is rare. every school has a certain amount of school pride. most days, students don't mind exhibiting it. while i visited this program, it was just one big family. and that was incredibly refreshing. they were engaged with each other. they were like classmates, which they obviously h

one, at long last, the advisory committee for the balboa park station. the plan was approved in january 2009. i think it was my first piece of legislation because i had inherited from my former supervisor from district 11, and since that time, there have been a lot of discussions about how to proceed with land-use issues surrounding the station, and there has been a lot of need for the community to have greater oversight along with greater entities involved around the station including bart, caltrans, muni, dpw. this body will be meeting quarterly to provide input. it will be staffed by the mta if we do approve this, and it will be a great benefit to district 11 and people who have a stake in bell ballpark to ensure that we have transit that meets the needs of riders and neighborhood residents appear willing to make sure we're moving forward with transit that can move the ball park out of the industrial zone. i hope to have your support of that if it comes to committee, colleagues. my next piece of legislation, the resolution, it is actually supporting t

i'm looking at page five, it's showing 57% at balboa, that's pretty significant. >> that is because for health we need to make sure that the school has enough far class set so the number of students is going to far exceed what a class set would be. so what we made sure is that we provide the school with enough health books for a class set and then some. we always get some extras so that every student in the health class has access to those books. >> so the shortage is netting that they don't have one for school and one for home but everybody has one, somewhere, so there's access to that? ok, thank you. there was also a little bit of chatter earlier in the year about elementary workbooks and i'm wondering if you can address that as well. i know some schools felt like they ordered and things didn't get to them in time and if there are workbooks at school -- that schools order that do not fall under our approved list, then how does that work? >> we order, in the spring, our office orders, or reorders, puts in orders and we survey the sites and order several workbooks or practice books that

we are moving forward on balboa park, as part of this initiative. we're making a lot of progress and i think that we have a lot to celebrate. and this is all the work that has been done in golden gate park over the last few years and this is just the proposition for the funding for this program. this does not include the museums or the major investments that have been made, that delivered a number of projects to the music concourse fountain, the botanical gardens improvements, and repaving in partnership with the nonprofits and the other funding sources. these are the remaining projects that we are working on right now. we're almost there. the goal is, because we receive funding from the state that we have to deliver, those projects by the end of the calendar year to meet the funding constraints -- we are moving forward with those. and so, the 2008 clean and safe neighborhood parks find, before we go into the implementation, i would like to refresh everyone's memory -- memory about what it took to develop this bond, and the accountability measures t

plans that we have completed for the four neighborhoods, the eastern neighborhoods, market octavia, balboa park, visitation valley, and other areas representing almost 7000 units, and we have no plans under way for other areas that will complete that cycle. -- we have new plans under way. sentences could pose a growth will happen on about 15% of the land area of the city. that 15% is actually where we have concentrated our planning efforts over the past decade. i can sit here and promise you all that, having these plans approved means that the land use wars and fights in the planning commission will go away, and we all know that that will happen, of course, in the coming year. this will not and land-use lawyers. this will not in fights. it will not and appeals. but it does give us a level of certainty about where we're headed but at the community level and at the city level, and i think we should be proud of that. i would like to spend a little bit of time talking about the transit center plan, partly because i think it is an incredibly exciting project and partly because we are about to r

balboa park. we need to figure that out and the sense that area. we need to get rapid transit in geary as well. [applause] >> my position is to from the other candidates. why? because we have to base decisions on facts. we have to have evidence-based findings before we can make conclusions. what is happening is this issue is becoming politicized. we have a grand jury that specifically found a serious design defects in this product was causing twice -- costing twice as much as originally planned. and the last time we ignored to the grand jury -- the other day, the last time we did that, it was over pension reform. so we have to address the issues. there will be a hearing in october. let's wait for that hearing. let the facts speak for themselves. [applause] >> thank you. i agree. what i also want to say, one of the issues i have always had with the project and the members of the board of supervisors was that in some ways, this is a very myopic view. do we what subways in san francisco? it could relieve some much traffic off the streets, there is no
