this is south of candlestick park. we'll have more on that coming up in just a moment. let's move along and take a look at the commute here. if you are driving on 808 northbound -- 880 northbound, you'll see traffic is busy, but it's not stop and go just yet. if you're driving in the south bay, the traffic is okay. 101 is to be avoided in san francisco and northbound as you can see here. let me see if i can circle it for you. this hear here, right here between let's say the airport

pays tribute to more than 90 million of us who passed through the turnstiles at field stadium, candlestick park, and of at&t park in the past 53 years, leading with your hearts, wearing your, coming with your infants and grandchildren, booin g the dodgers, shared experiences of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, this 2010 giants team, well, you brought it home all for us, too. thank you all so much. i was one of them taking the bus with my father out to candlestick. i am sure all of you have your stories of candlestick. some of you, even of field stadium. now we take our children and share experiences, my wife, bringing it all home full circle. the triumph of this team allows it to track back and connect to the past and to connect the beauty of our experiences with an unbridled joy. none of this would be possible without the leadership that came before who dreamed of this day, people by the name of christopher and still numb. larry mosconi. alioto-pier, feinstein, agnos. as bill mentioned, our dear harmonists sue burns. this is a dream fulfilled for all of us. also, we must pay tribute to

we have a great program for them all set up with a new lennar development at candlestick park. i think they will recognize that and come back. >> was there anything magical that happened in your district as a result of the world series? >> i imagine there were a lot of districts in district 7 he sat and cried when they watched the celebration like i did. i think those are the magical moments. a lot of parents and children region that whole week of the world series was one i will never forget, particularly the day of the parade. it was not just my district. that was a magical time for this region. >> in your regdistrict, deal have any particular projects to give us insight on? >> one was a basic infrastructure thing that was a big deal. san francisco circle. not a lot of people realize that more cars travel through one of those intersections than any other in san francisco. we had to shut that down and completely rebuild the intersection for the muni winds utilities, and overheads. we pulled it off. we got through it. now we have pedestrians walking through safely. we have the t

the last item was the interchange at candlestick park. the amendment was to request staff to work with bicounty partners to create a mechanism for more community involvement. chu: thank you for your report. any members of public who wish to comment on item number 3? >> my name is francisco decosta. i do not know if you noticed that when the gentleman was giving the report reportly pointed out that they are dealing with huge projects linked with the southeast sector involving highway 101 south. the widening of the street. the implications are very serious. and one of the ways the san francisco county transportation authority can address the situation is by having a localized meeting so people can have the best input. we are talking about millions of vehicles that are going to be flying in this area. we are talking about particulates. we are talking about over 10,500 homes plus that are scheduled to be built in this area. so the citizens advisory committee can get some briefings. but what is important is that we get the input from the many

from at&t park, it goes all the way to candlestick park. there is a lot of opportunity. don't squander that. we wanted to be a healthy mix that reflects the cultural history of the southeast part of the city. >> what are your thoughts on how the city can deal with the budget issue? >> we are in a very difficult time financially as a country, as a state, as a county. we have a multimillion-dollar deficit. what i see is we have competing priorities. >> ok. >> there's a whole host of non- profit and service organizations that provide a service and a social safety net for people. if people are not able -- they're not making money to get on calworks, or they get on aid, we cut that aid, that has an adverse affect on a population that needs it. i would like to see the city continued to move in a direction where we are prioritizing when it comes to our budget, our budget strategy. i was fortunate enough to be named to the budget -- i was not fortunate enough to be named to the budget committee. i will exercise my voice to guide us through this precarious system. i think we need

but since you brought it up -- [laughter] 1, executive park, before it was named executive park, it was candlestick coat -- cove. it was temporary housing for the navy. as you know, executive park is in the hill of bayview hill. nowhere close to visitation valley. but what occurred was that lines were drawn from visitation valley over six lanes of highway of bay shore, through the community of little hollywood, under the freeway of highway 101, to claim that executive park was a part of the visitation valley. biggest lie in town. biggest blight in town. then it was proposed that the developers -- i have been on that committee since its inception. those of us that where there never asked the developers for anything because they had to do all the infrastructure in order to get that project going and done. but here comes someone later say if they can get money out of the developers, and developers had to agree because they wanted to do their program, do the project. we asked them not to give nothing to visitation valley, but no. if they did not do it, they could not to the project, and that was unfair

considering places like candlestick park. i think we are looking to cast the net when the soap that people have an opportunity to part, but in ways that are strategically smart for our overall view of how people can get to this event. additional considerations. as i mentioned, we want this coordinate communication strategy to bolster our efforts through this out reprocess. we have heard a lot of examples of the atlanta olympics, the opening of at&t park, as being effective information campaign that kept people from driving their cars. -- this outreach process. we see that as our goal, getting the word out not only to people in the bay area but using travel associations, hotels, to try to get information to people that would allow them to make their choices and know that they have granted options -- transit options. disabled access, of course, we know that is key. we are working with mta accessible services to flush out that part of the plan. in conjunction, understanding the spectator venues themselves and have access will wo

next year because .scu cuts. 15 other bayrerka arespan a the list, including the state historic park, candlestick point in san francisco, portolo redwood state park, and sugar loaf ridge in napa county. henry coe which spans more than 87,000 acres is by far the largest park on the state closure list. bob patry with the coe park conservation group says -- >> this is huge wilderness of 130 square miles. it's next door to, what, the -- seven million people in the san francisco bay area. it's an extraordinary resource. >> reporter: it's not just backpackers and hikers that enjoy this park, but every year at-risk students come here to learn about nature. if the park closes, rangers are worried pot growers may move in. >> marijuana groves, those are things that already occur sometimes in the park. you know, without a present here, that could become more prevalent. >> reporter: he's also concerned about fire danger from illegal campers and is worried without park staff someone may vandalize a museum collection in the visitors center. with a park more than double the size of san francisco, rangers predic

save california money. 15 other bay area parks are on the closure list, including betetia state park, candlestick point and redwood state park and sugarloaf ridge in redwood county. bob is fighting to save this park, a park he's been enjoying for 40 years. >> you could hike for two weeks in this park and never cross your own footprints. not many other places in the bay area where you can do that. >> reporter: the park spans 87,000 acres which will make keeping unwanted visitors out. a challenge. >> if they come in illegally, there may be nobody here to stop them. all kinds of things could happen. vandalism in the buildings, you know. no maintenance on any of the buildings. they will, you know, deteriorate over time. we already have a problem with illegal marijuana being grown on our projects and that could just expand. >> he says with no rangers to regulate campers, fire danger is another big concerning but for people like sean who enjoyed a nine-mile hike today the park closure will mean just one less chance to nurture nature. >> it's a great park for anyone who might want to come and use if, an

candlestick. they have an office park. hunters point shipyard north is bound by the same scale as executive part. they have roughly two towers. by think that they were up to 200 feet, 250 feet. >> in terms of proposed height, where was the starting point for staff in developing this proposal? >> i came into this after it began. supervisor cohen: me to. >> essentially it was the same scale as they have now. three towers. project sponsors will probably be able to tell me more definitively. it had been within 240 feet. three other buildings were popping up about 85 feet. that is when we started calling things towers. 13 stories, other parts of the site were slightly different. some of them were lower. we did purchase additional height. just so that we could capture the density we had been talking about. we also thought that it would be a good move as it was such a wide street without a tall building lot, we thought it was important to introduce a border within the neighborhood and the public realm. >> -- supervisor cohen: can

candlestick would be jeopardized. the urban markets would be jeopardized. we have a number of events from the channel 6 parking lot, and this could be jeopardized. we have some interesting issues related to the america's cup and we are not quite certain what the impact of this ballot measure would be on the ability that we have to join the city family in making certain that the amenities are available for the america's cup in 2012 and 2013. we have a five-year lease with them, but does this ballot measure prevent us from renew this without side planning? and by crystals. the pioneer log cabin which we have been thinking about, tennis lessons, at the amenities in the tennis complex. the palace of fine arts. as i understand this, the measure says that there should be no new leases and no new fees. the moratorium is leading the palace of fine arts in march of 2014. we would like for someone to follow them in that space and we are not certain of the implications of the ballot measure on the ability to get a new lease at the palace of fine arts. we are still calculating this and we have not even begun to think abou

but the winds blow, at candlestick like that they in what may have 20,000 or 40,000 instead of 30,000. that ball park'm not that big of a baseball fan but i like the park. i think i will go. i think the ball park will sell everything. >> are right, now you always talk about bob terence though personality that is not without him fired, he did not win enough games. >> you are right, but i almost did it to a fault, i always feel like professional sports and show business to a certain extent. if you are not good with a microphone in front of you and you better win. if you are having a battle of the road season, people may give you another chance, not give you another chance but maybe they would be inclined to say i believe in the sky, he inspires me in they will turn around but if you are dull and you lose, there is no hope. >> who you love more? labraun james, or the screaming announcer? >> that is a hard question. that announcer for california was a pretty cute, so you wish him good luck. they are playing california and baptist 5:00 start time tomorrow. we will be back with more. the 8:00 news is rolli
