for the first time, cyclists can ride to and from oakland and yorba buena island 24/7. kpix 5's devin fehely is live at the bay bridge with more on the twilight test run. >> yeah, before today, if you wanted to bike from across the bay bridge to yorba buena island or walk over there, you had to finish up by about 9:00. that's no longer the case. if things go smoothly over the next 10 days, this change could be permanent. >> reporter: while it's not bad during the day, have you ever wondered what it would be like to pedal across the bay bridge under the light of the moon? >> everything looks different at night when you're on the bridge. the city looks totally different. it looks really beautiful. it's a totally different way to experience the city. >> reporter: starting today and continuing through may 19th, the bike path on the bridge is now open 24/7. we convinced david wade, the owner of tiptop bike shop in oakland, to join us on the 2.2-mile ride from the base of the bridge to yorba buena island. >> riding on the bicycle is totally different than riding in the car. i

and like her piece for yerba buena island, she works principally in a steel form with recycled tires. it's her preferred medium, so the piece that she had proposed for near building one was on a larger scale than the piece you see here. and it was something that individuals could walk in and through. but again, it was the piece by pae white that was recommended. shah calla booker's proposal. engaging with the stairways of yerba buena island and incorporating natural materials and also some interaction with living elements, trees and other things to create unique spaces. and then the piece provisionally recommended by the panel was this piece by sugimoto. it's called the infinity point. the total height of the proposed piece is 66 feet or 20 meters. the lower portion is proposed to be in white marble with the other portion in stainless steel. and here, the primary questions from the selection panel that are being investigated, are potential zoning or ffa restrictions on a piece of this height at this location. the plan is to have the visual arts committee have a conversation as their m

but the bike path only goes to yerba buena island. so from there, cyclists have to take a bus to get into the city. caltrans also is basically encouraging folks to ditch their cars because, you know, we want to reduce the greenhouse gases and it's good for the environment. >> it's about creating a -- place-making for folks to enjoy as well as sustainable infrastructure. >> reporter: caltrans plans to eventually extend the path to san francisco. now, the pilot program which has that path open around the clock lasts until may 19th. reporting live in oakland, i'm jessica flores, kpix 5. >>> time now 6:14. so a lot of people taking their bikes to work today. some safety tips you got? >> yes. i have a pop quiz for you. for your driving and you're coming up on a bicyclist and you want to pass him, what's the safe amount of space that you must have between you and the bicyclist? >> guessing one or two cars length? >> wait. >> when you're passing them in the bike lane. >> three. >> good job, michelle. ding, ding, ding. >> three-foot buffer zo

they take this path to yerba buena island and then go onto the city.talked to dozens of people last year who took part in "bike to work" day. >> it's much better than it used to be with bike lanes and bike ways. it's gotten better. >> reporter: "bike to work" day and the bay area bike path are part of the bay area city's push to get cars off the roads. caltrans plans to eventually extend the path all the way to san francisco but that's still years away. now, the whole pilot program for the next 10 days lasts through may 19th. so you can use the bike path at any time you want. reporting live in oakland, i'm jessica flores, kpix 5. >>> time now 5:43. has anyone biked to work before? >> no. >> no. >> no. >> weird schedule. >> too hard with our hours. >> it wouldn't be good biking to work at 3 a.m. >> not safe even. >> no. >> i used to when i was living in hawaii i would bike 45 minutes to and back from work but here at this hour? think not. >> it's tough. i think it's a good reminder though for drivers to just be careful. >> yes. definitely. >> a lot of b

you don't want a gardiner from yerba buena island needing to go back to the end of the island for tools or garbage bags or whatever they need. so the total space of maintenance support functions and their geographic distribution are things we need to further refine. and then the other area is rules. the policies and rules that we should have in place before opening the parks. again, we have a wide diversity of park spaces in our program, as well as we have natural areas like ybi that we need to manage. and do we -- are the rules we want to develop and adopt under the authority of the tida board, are there other things we may want to seek board of supervisors to grant us legislative authority? for instance, the parks code within the largest city administrative code, you know, not only governs rec and park facilities, but portions of the code are specific to the civic center plaza and so will there be legislative authorities we need to pursue as well in terms of setting up plans and rules for the -- to help us administer the parks and open spaces as we go forward? today was the introducti

they did similar tests on treasure island and yerba buena island, and my guess is that the upcoming hearing won't be comprehensive enough and it would be good for lafco to put this on its radar. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. >> and commissioners, jed holtzman for 350 bay area. i just wanted to put in a plug for the bay items, because this has been trucking along for a couple of years. also wanted to mention that cca 3.0 is now a thing, which basically comprises advanced business models and community action between joint agencies. it's probably too late for any of the commissioners to attend, but i did want to let you know that there's community choice energy summit from the 24th to the 26th in la jolla. just to say that this is -- i can forward you this message so that you can see kind of what they're going to be covering, these are the kinds of things that we would love to increase the capacity level of here, and i guess what i would point out by mentioning this summit is that it's -- it's no longer a super avant-garde thing that sf lafco would be pioneering. you're seeing sout

today we've completed several dozen interim moves, residents from buena island to treasure island but also from one area of treasure island to another area of treasure island. through that process, a number of people have elected to stay on the island or -- a few dozen others have elected to take an in-lieu payment and move off the island. the transition unit option, the units, as i discussed earlier are located in buildings tida will be developing that are dedicated to our affordable housing construction. initially in partnership with one treasure island membership and other operators. the rent at the time of transition is tied to the 2011 rent board, as we discussed -- sorry. the 2011 rent for the unit. the household occupied adjusted by an amount equivalent to what is allowed by the san francisco rent board. that's not to mean that these units fall underneath the board or if they're rent-controlled per ordinance, but just that this is the mechanism that has been elected to use to adjust rents over time. and potentially income-qualifying households would be offered our below-market

one of the first to ride the 2.2-mile trail on the east span of the bridge from oakland to yerba buena island>> i think that makes it accessible for everyone because not everyone has a day job or not everyone has a night job. >> reporter: the trail is typically open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. but caltrans is leaving it open all night as part of a pilot program to see if it's beneficial or not and to make sure it's well lit and safe for riders at all hours. >> we want to be sure that our security efforts, working with california highway patrol, that staffing needs and any needs on the bridge are evaluated. >> not too concerned about here, but down by the overpass, it is a little dark at times and there are people there at night. >> reporter: for ten days straight, this path is open for everyone. >> i'm a big fan of more bike access for people. it would be nice to see more people out here. >> reporter: when those ten days are up, caltrans, chp is going to take a good look at everything they've observed on this pilot program to see if and when they want to open it up overnight permanently. repo

knowles-pierce, and i am currently and have been since its inception the chair of the treasure island yerba buena island citizens' advisory board. thank you for this hearing. i urge you to consider passage of this -- of this item before you today. i've heard the people who are against it, and we are certainly, all of us who sit on the c.a.b. and have been since 2001, have always been big supporters of sailing center and want to be sure that there is not only space but sufficient space for them to have these important and exciting times in their lives, learning how to sale and learniand -- sail and learning how to be a team member when you sail. i'm a sailor, and when i wrote my letter for consideration for the c.a.b., the state of clipper cove was what urged me to do this. when i first saw the original 400 slip, it was large. when it was reconfigured, i was very unhappy with the untenuator because it stuck way out to the south and impeded process -- progress into the cove where people can have a good time. as you've heard, the slips have been reduced by a third over time. also, another misconception tha

look at plans necessitated by the navy's work and the reconstruction of the causeway from the island to yerba buena. between 2015 and 2017, treasure island enterprises met to refine the proposed layout including discussions facilitated by the board of supervisors and their staff. the discussions resulted in the compromised layout of a marina of 313 slips. the long-term leases approved by the board of supervisors have relied upon this compromised configuration. we've brought them to the board of supervisors so both programs can proceed with financing and permit promises through the bay conservation development commission and joint aquatic resources application processes. so that provides background on the cove. >> supervisor tang: thank you for that helpful timeline. at this point then, what is -- not before us, but at least the proposal as far as 313-slip marina instead of the 400 originally contemplated? >> yes. >> supervisor tang: and then, again, with the sailing center, a 66-year lease that was just approved, so that program will not be jeopardized. >> yes. that's for the land sign facilities a
