comment and caltrain, i personally have given up on using caltrain between san jose and san francisco. because b.a.r.t. on the east bay is faster and is less expensive. if i go to warm springs. it's going to be even more so when the barrier expansion opens on the way to san jose, and a lot of people are essentially doing what i'm doing. the only reason i took caltrain this morning is i wanted to watch the progress of the daily ele electrification. the only thing that can compete with b.a.r.t. now is the b.a.r.t. to market. that is going to change big time once the d.t.x. is complete, and caltrain and everybody else had better be ready to this because you're going to have a huge shift from caltrain in the east bay. >> clerk: all right. go ahead and call your consent calendar? >> chair nuru: please. >> clerk: all matters listed are considered to be retune and acted on by a single vote. there will be no action on items unless a member wishes to discuss an item separately. you have no items to be heard separately. >> so moved. >> clerk: a motion and a second.

, and the potential of a join facility with caltrain? >> yeah. i'll answer the first question. i'll pass the second question on. i look at the first question from a very technical perspective. in both alternatives a and b, we have a maintenance track that crosses over the main track that allows us to access the maintenance facility. it's a nominal impact of our lead track. >> director reiskin: and that's with which? >> with both. >> director reiskin: so either alternative, the station -- the southbound platform moves south? >> yes, sir. >> and then, on the caltrain facility as a sharing question, i think this is something that's been around for a while. i think we asked caltrain are they interested in a joint site, and they said no. i think there's more interest of san francisco in case there's something that happens at the main yard in terms of storage. we have facilities quite large. it's kind of size based on our phase one program, so going all the way to los angeles, having service do really well, ramp up, so there could be some call

it's not just for d.t.x., but it's the caltrain plan. so we will put out recommendations and hope that just fosters, you know, adds to the dialogue that's happening, and it's up to the policy makers to really act on them. >> thank you, director reiskin. director hursh? >> it feels like the governance is being done in a back room, the governance study. the stakeholders are interviewed, but they're not included in the back room discussions. my comments are somewhat selfish in that we can't overlook the $2 million achievement that's been achieved. and candidly, my concerns of the operating efficiency of the existing terminal and a.c. transit's relationship with that. we're proud to be on the board. obviously, we have concerns about how the operation of the facility goes forward. we certainly want the success of d.t.x., we certainly want rail there as soon as possible, but i would remind tilly and the constituents that i report to a board. any discussions around high-speed rail is not easy. i would encourage them to engage in those boards --

turning to the regional level, the caltrain business plan is making great progress. this week they conducted a two hour online town hall meeting on youtube. i encourage anyone who is interested in caltrain in the business effort, it is really a once in generation look to see what it is take to realize our vision for high-quality, high-frequency caltrain service up and down the peninsula. that is available. the service vision that they are looking at involves up to potentially 12 trains per hour, and that would be eight caltrain his and eight high-speed rail trains. they're looking at more likely the middle ground scenario, but taking input from the public. it would increase ridership from 65,000 brides a day to 180,000 estimated in 2040. it is not inexpensive. it would take about $25 billion and whole host of investments and tracks and grade separations , maintenance facilities, and the like, as well as our downtown real extension and other complementary investments. caltrain is also looking at organizational changes that would need to happen to realize such a vision
