. >> caller: good afternoon, this is edward mason. regarding the 48 line that was not mentioned between about 7:30 to 8:45, 9:00 on the 48 westbound, the buses there completely crowded with school children. i'm little disappointed to see there's no relief on the 48 line, at least for that short period of time. regarding air circulation, i think we need to have a definition what air circulation is? is it the internal circulation of the air? is it open windows and then open windows cold weather. there are so many vehicles that are not heated in this temperature. there are some operators that have the courtesy to in the passenger compartment. regarding hiring, more than defer before the covid, which probably goes back three or four years ago, at the policy on governance committee meeting, there were presentations made about the apprenticeship programs with the city college of san francisco. i think this board should have a review of when that program initiate end and the successes and failures of that program because the way it sounds no

edward mason. in this project, we talk about expansion of the transit system. my opinion is the transportation sustainability fee is inadequate to fund the required transportation expansion need. so growth is not funding growth. the other issue is street trees. we never have a discussion on street trees. leave it to locate the concession as to whether you're going to plant the street trees. do you want street trees or do you want to fund muni to operate properly with that? we've had significant members of the community, such as the chamber of commerce, not attend the meetings. showed up once. they sent a replacement to stand by. the same thing with s.p.u.r., and now s.p.u.r. has now redesignated a person to attend. so i think i'm really kind of disappointed the way the epac has been functioning. we're doing the best we can, we're taking it on, but i think there should be allocation for transit expansion. it should be part of the transit expansion sustainability fee and the m.t.c.s plan 2050. and again, street trees -- >> thank you. your time is up. >> thank you

i'm edward mason. lifelong noe valley resident and muni patron for over 65 years. i support the j church option 2, service restoration into the subway. moratorium on the unknown streetscape construction cost is appropriate. the staff presentation on november 28, 2018 and june 26, 2019 and other dates to the c.a.c. indicated surface and subway train control to reduce portal delays, sequencing of surface trains and to avoid gaps in bunches. the potential delivery date then was 2023. m.t.a. now states the new atcf will struggle to justify restricting the j entry into the subway. i think the board of directors should question this and dive into the issues of the atcs that was promise to us. that would be a speedy service and reduction in the current delays that are experienced. look at the atcs and be very vigilant on the wavy staff report is interpreted. thank you. >> chair borden: are there any additional calls on the line to address the c.a.c. report?
