i would like to know who owns a glen canyon park as land? who is the owner of that? >> i believe it is the recreation and parks department. commissioner moore: then we need to take particular attention to how these plans are being addressed because i think i hear the road is an -- it's not quite where it needs to be. i am interested to hear you track that when we review the roads and a couple of week. who owns the bart parking lot? >> bart. commissioner moore: is part as an owner being treated as anyone who owns properties within the jurisdiction of the planning department and planning commission? they don't get preferential treatment -- they're just like a normal owner. thank you. >> one response to the glen canyon park. there is actually a glen plaid -- glen canyon park improvement plan that we just finished the draft of. that will spend $6 million of general-obligation fund to make improvements to that park. commissioner moore: i don't want to get into detail yesterday but i had a meeting with somebody who spoke about a project that is simultaneously on track with

so we are on item number 7, the glen canyon park improvement plan. >> good morning, commissioners. my name is karen mauney d.c. brodek with the planning capital division. i'm here to bring back to you an item that the capital committee heard on august 3 about the glen canyon park improvement plan. for you the item is to recommend to the board of supervisors to accept a gift valued over $483,000 from the trust of public land for the development of a park improvement plan and the related outreach process. approve the agreement with the trust public land for use of the gift. and direct the general manager to commence, tell me, to commence further design development and outreach to implement portions of the project to be funded with the neighborhood parks fund, clean and safe neighborhood parks bond. let's get started. i wanted to review again the goals that we set out to work with the community, to come up with a long-term plan for this very complex and beautiful asset in our system, which is glen canyon park. it was important to work with the community to sign a long-range vision and

we could do a further designed to save the glen park village and to glen canyon. one of the ideas is under part of the greenway -- there is an idea circulating about is it feasible to do they lighting of this project and we really don't know. there are some complications. has a combined sewer system. it's not like regular daylighting where you just uncover something. the plan stays open to that. while there should be some further study to determine if this could happen while also recognizing some of the concerns of residents and adjacent property owners, we could address that in this further

park. imagine niagara falls sliced and diced and sprinkled over a vast and heavily forested canyon. it's a lush and unforgettable valley of 16 terraced lakes laced together by waterfalls and miles of pleasant plank walks. boats glide visitors into the heart of the park. countless cascades and water that's strangely clear yet full of vibrant colors make plitvice a misty natural wonderland. fish seem to know there's not a hook for miles. carefully maintained trails and boardwalks let you get intimate with the wonder of the place. observant nature lovers can choose from hundreds of flower types to assemble a photographic bouquet. the stony formations drip down like the foliage because the grass and moss both direct the flow of the water and provide a kind of scaffolding for the slow and steady calcification process. naturalists call plitvice a perfect storm of geological, climatic, and biological features. the magic ingredient -- calcium carbonate, a mineral deposit from the limestone that gets dissolved into the water, then re-deposited, continually breaking down natural travertine dam

canyon. that's 1 1/2 miles from the north entrance to the state park.might imagine, even though we were the first crews here, several 911 calls came into emergency dispatch reporting first, the lightning strikes, then the hillside aglow. contra costa county fire called a second alarm. that is because the fire leapt from 40 to 60-acres in just minutes. making the fire fight more difficult. there were no paveed roads. crews struggled up a steep dirt road and as they did, 911 calls in reporting two additional fires. one at leon way. the second in marsh creek. both about five miles from where i stand. i can tell you in just the past 20 minutes, fire crews coming down from the hillside told me that they have completely extinguished all three of those fires. a couple crews still on the ridge top above me. they are looking for hot spots and certainly trying to douse anything that may remain. contra costa is saying those fires were started by lightning. an interesting point. even though weather caused these fires, weather helped to extinguish the fires and that

park is and what changes we want to make to it. that is going to be and port project, the same thing with glen canyon that is going to undergo a lot of work. one of the most challenging parts of the new district supervisor is that we elect the supervisors by district. it is very important to pay attention to the district, be engaged in the projects in the district. we also represent the whole city. any district supervisor that focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i make sure i am working on the major citywide issues and the district issues. i try to be disciplined about that. >> how will you approach the tough choices? >> i think we have to start by looking at the most critical city services that we cannot do without. what are the ones that if they deteriorated, we will pay the price on? public safety falls into that category as a basic critical service. transportation, making sure we have the functional muni is critical. core public health services like dealing with mental on this on our streets -- with mental illness on our streets. if we do not provide services,

parking garage. bloodstains in le's car. evidence esteban had been inside of the car. and cell phone records showing two women cells traveled to the same remote area near niles canyon. and a pair of esteban's tennis shoe was le's dna on them. in court, scott marasigan, the man the two women may have had a dispute over. despite a search of the hills around the canyon, le's body has yet to be found. >> our focus is still to bring her home. we can't push that point any further, we want her back. >> we want to bring michelle home. and we don't want to talk too much about the case. we find to michelle. we're going to continue to search for her. >> and esteban appear woutd an attorney, indicate together judge she may need court to appoint one for her arks rainment will be continued until monday morning. at that time, she may enter a plea. >> and there is some new hope for 1100 employees laid off last week. about 90 workers showed up for a job fair event. and solyndra had been a leader in green job creations. the president visited last year, praising it and now, workers don't know what to expect. >> i was employed and kind of had no worries then came crashing down. >> and

parking garage of kaiser hospital hayward on may 27. white honda was found the next day. extensive searches of the pinole, nooils canyona yet to turn up lebody. >> enormously important to find the body. in these days of forensic prosecution, the body becomes a big piece of the puzzle. if you mind find a bed it's conclusive to the fact of death. >>reporter: according to police her arrest was based on several factors. surveillance video showing esteban in the parking garage before and after lee disappeared. blood stain inside lee's car. evidence esteban was inside lee's car. cell phone records and esteban shoes that had lee's dna on them. in a phone call to abc 7 on may 31, days after lee disappeared, esteban told us quote i openly hate michelle. shown here last month esteban denied she killed lee. but went on to tell the us she was upset over lee friendship with scott, the father of esteban 5-year-old daughter. esteban also told us she was pregnant with his second child. >> the fact that she was pregnant allegedly at this time of the killing pl does that fly in the face of the prosecution theory that this is someone who

the other major piece of the neighborhood is its close proximity to glen canyon park, over 60 acres of open space. this is an amazing place -- there are coyotes and owls and a recreational facility and hiking trail. there is also a creek, the last one of the city's free flowing creeks that flows freely into glen canyon. in transportation options, to have such a great abundance of transportation options is special. there is a bart station, a number of bus lines and the j. church can next to glen park. the freeway access to 280 -- this is a picture of one of the first electric streetcars in the city built at the turn of the century. we talked about this last time. this is transit first period when the real-estate developers decided to bring people into their area, they would build of the transit line. this is an interesting digram from a feasibility study we conducted about a year ago. it shows how people arrive at the bart station. there are approximately 9000 transit riders they use the small area around the station every day. what is amazing is that about 80% of them are arrived not b
