the center of folsom street is dry and the building is flooded. the parking lot is dry and the building is flooded so thank you for the attention and i hope we see a solution soon. >> thank you very much. [applause] next speaker. >> i am susan and i live on the same block as mrs. sanchez and i'm going to use her picture. >> the other way, yeah. >> [inaudible] four houses away from her house and the water actually went up to here. it did that 10 years ago when we had the other flood and we also had two floods then too, one in -- i think february and another one towards december and this time yes we had two in december and the second one we had san bags and i watched from the top of my stairs the water go over the sand bags and they were like three high and even moved them and the first one went up higher and the december 3 and the second one was december 11 and went up higher than that one but these pictures i mean these -- the water like i said is over here and hejs and almost to the top of the hedges and the hedges are about chest high and to cor

>> 17th and folsom and the critical point in the city. it's the one area that we see flooding more consistently than anywhere else. we have seen flooding at 17th and [inaudible] and the improvements are there and no where as significant as 17th and folsom. we have additionally seen recent flooding at 15th and [inaudible] and historically a lake that was filled and unfortunately filled with unengineered fill so we're looking there as well so the three areas we're most liking at with respect to flooding are those three. the most with technical challenges is 17th and folsom. >> and the slide showing the five year period with the four, five year storms and 110 year and 125 year storm it's alarming just in december 2014 we have those two huge storms and maybe better systems to identify the four hour notice but i know a lot was done to alert people during the december storms but i worry as you were saying from your great presentation the change -- climate change and when did you say? >> by 2100. >> and you alluded to super storms and the number

pg&e has a parking lot on tweet street and 18th and folsom. maybe something can put a holding tank under there. who knows but i would appreciate any attention that the issue can be given. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am victoria sanchez and live [inaudible]. i wish these pictures -- >> you can put them up on the projector. >> [inaudible] >> you can use the other mic too. >> [inaudible] >> okay. the cars were going up and down. i have been going through this for a long time and every time i see my house i go -- every time i go down the basement i get depressed because all that crap is coming up. it's not the water. it's the crap that comes up and i am tired of it, you know, and every time i call the inspectors they do -- i haven't heard from nobody. nobody has come around and said "mrs. sanchez do something" -- [inaudible] please do something about it because they haven't done anything, and even my yard i can't go in my yard because the crap is there. thank you. >> thank you. [applause] next speaker. >>

underneath 280 and large chamber there until you get down to the 400 block of alemany boulevard at folsom and that's where it's half as large so this problem shown in the photo is because a location of a higher elevation -- we're not talking about folsom and 17th which is the lowest point of town. you couldn't have road a boat from there all the way to oakland. >> >> this location needs a bond measure problem. that's a solution. and it means that you have to increase the capacity of the sewers from 400 alemany down to the southeast sewage treatment plant and mr. cruz touched on this in part. it's going to cost money but if we don't spend the money and buy people's homes and displace them where are they going to live in san francisco? and this public -- and this problem involved. >> >> there aren't fatalities involved in this but it's devastating just as the fires on 22nd and mission and on mission and 22nd and third and 24th street and all of the other fires happening over the last 10 years on valencia street so how are we going to get the puc to raise their hand and yes we will participa

these are horse and buggy photographs showing 17th and folsom in standing water after a storm. additional photos of the streetcars passing through that area and again standing water. so here's a technical top graphical drawing that shows what causes that flooding. >> >> to the far left is the northwest part of that watershed and you can see that the slope there is a strong slope that comes across as the topography moves east and the circle is 17th and folsom so effectively the water is collected through catch basins, comes into the sewer system and effectively in a large system gushes down the road here and hits 17th and folsom and flattens out but as the system backs up it backs up to this point at which point it starts to climb and that is where we reach our highest flooding. now what we have done to date we have stepped up our cleaning process. clean catch basins and sewers move water more effectively so we have crews go out to clean the sewers there on a regular basis. since 2013 we pulled out 1800 tons of debris from the basisins and sewers in the area. additionally we sta

. >> before we go on to 17th and folsom can you say something to the other residents? >> yes, just as stephanie is leading 17th and folsom another staff member saeed is working on that situation. they're complicated by the freeway work there. the woman that spoke her property is at ground zero and experienced the greatest flooding. technically it should be easier to address than 17th and folsom and have a white paper within the two weeks of the completion of 17th and folsom and somebody referenced the sewer system failure. i take issue to that. it performed to design. the storms are beyond what we designed the system to and that's what we need to address. >> [inaudible] >> thank you very much. >> [inaudible] >> you want to come up? >> [inaudible] >> in you're going to say something i do want you to -- >> why are places like 18th -- castro for example higher than both of these areas i think. why are the main lines feet in diameter and come to 18th and folsom and what did we decide today? they're 18 inches in diameterral folsom so how does that mean the infrastructure --

background, the folsom street off ramp curves diagonally. in order to assemble and create the parcel to maximize the development and guidelines ocii is reconfiguring the guidelines. we are estimating these contracts with fca to provide the project delivery. in april 2013, the commission authorized the design services for this project. in november 2013, the commission authorized construction services for the project. last month in february 2015, the commission approved amendment no. 1 that provided funding for cost over runs and disposal of one area of stock piles for materials that needed to be deposed of at facilities that can handle motor oil material. the disposal of that stock pile is not subject to this amendment, however there are two other areas that are. at that time of that 1st amendment approval, ocii staff and transbay were in on going discussion over the position of other soils and seeking to find potential solutions in order to minimize project cost. this slide shows the folsom off ramp curve development block 8. the ramp does n

combined aggregate of 3.4 million in association with the construction of the realignment of the folsom street off-ramp transbay redevelopment project area. discussion and action resolution number 9-2015. madam director. >> thank you madam secretary. commissioners in 2013 you previously authorized both design and construction contracts with the san francisco county transportation authority related to this off ramp work. this work is necessary as you know as we reentering into development agreements with developers along folsom and in particular this particular site is for the transbay block eight which we're scheduled to close on with related -- later this year so this realignment work that the ta is conducting on our behalf is critical to that and these are additional costs associated with that and we expect to come back with likely another amendment after this, but we're bringing this item before you now with a first time and we have representatives here to go over this and from the transportation authority as well here. >> thank you executive director bohee. acting president and comm

this was folsom reservoir in 2011, and this is what the reservoir looks like after three years of drought. this is like oroville in 2011, and this is what the lake looked like last year. and this is what the snowpack looks like in 2013. and this is what it looks like just a year later. state officials say the sierra snowpack is near record lows and any late season rainfall won't have much of an impact. in the central valley farmers are watching their crops wither and ranchers are selling off cattle to pay for hay to feed their remaining cows. >> i've got to sell more cattle so i can buy more hay. >> so the herd gets smaller and smaller. >> and i'm getting poorer and poorer. >> farmers who are able to are drilling wells pumping water from reservoirs deep underground to save their crops. but the water levels in those reservoirs, known as aquifers,

he escaped near 5th and folsom according to these reports. here's what we know about this escaped inmate. the description is a 5'4" male, 165 pounds wearing only blue shorts. possibly only blue boxer shorts at this point. we're told that he escaped from deputies while he was being transported, possibly ditching the orange inmate jumpsuit that he was in which is why the reports are he was only wearing those blue boxer shorts at this time. a lot of commotion here near the hall of justice. we had a small brush fire 15, 20 minutes ago. the fire crews put out. that was taken care of. that's right along highway 101 the highway near the hall of justice. deputies trying to find this escaped inmate reportedly wearing only blue boxer shorts. >> mark kelly in san francisco. >>> earlier today san francisco's police chief walked out of his own community meeting about police tactics. >> we've seen these meetings out for every officer involved shooting. the latest one of course had to do with tuesday's officer involved shooting but started here at the chevr

emergenc -- engineer and i this is an amendment with the san francisco transportation authority for the folsom street off-ramp realignment project. the mol som off ramp from highway 80 curvings diagally across block eight. in order to follow the transbay guidelines and controls we are reconfiguring the off ramp so it's parallel and in alignment with block eight. this slide shows the existing configuration from about september 2014 just prior to when physical construction started and you can see that the off ramp is sweeping across block eight and prohibits the pedestrian access on fremont street on the west side and also prohibits the implementation of clem tina street as desired under the transbay implementation plan. this next slide shows what block eight would look like after the reconfiguration of the off ramp. there is a signalized intersection at the base of the off ramp and provides the same turning movements and accommodates for the same number of vehicular trips. this moa amendment is about cost over runs and the moa requires ocii to pay for all the costs there are five categories in

if you're somebody that takes the 12 folsom to school that means if one trip is missing you might had to wait 30 minutes for the next vehicle. we had an intenseir operator hiring program under way and graduating about 40 to 45 each month and exceeding our goal of 99% of the scheduled service and improving our on time performance also. we're also reducing the amount of vehicle break downs that we have and that can be tough. if you're trying to get to school and the bus breaks down it's almost like the dog ate my homework and so we are seeing by focusing on key components that were breaking down and actually replacing them through capital investments we're seeing a really positive trends in the vehicle break downs and introducing new buses to the system and we had 112 purchased and more to come and with the goal in the next years to completely replace the bus fleet. the reason i was flagging this service because one of the results of this mixed service you end up with more vehicles crowded than otherwise so during the a.m. peak when kids are trying to get to school and we had 9% of trip

within the last six weeks add one on folsom and 20 20th at john o'connell and two schools came together so there was increased demand for service so we added a bus there, and the folks in the muni transit assistance program they help facilitate getting students on the vehicles. they meet with principals and they often ride the buses when students are most vulnerable, so that's been a really successful program as well. we tried for that program as much as possible that hire people that come from the low income neighborhoods that students are riding from so there is a relationship and it's a known face and known commodity, so that's something that has worked very well and is a resource to principals throughout the city. this map here shows the free muni for youth activity by zip code. you can see over 26,000 students have enrolled in the program since its inception of march 2013. we extended the eligibility to include 18 year olds as well as 19-22 year olds that are enrolled in sfusd education services. the program costs over two years in the order of $8 million. our next challenge will b

there will be more stings in that area after the tragedy injuries of a a 3 and 4-year old old on folsom street the police station was right on it with efforts to really work with our office and pedestrian safety community groups to make sure that we're showing the city's efforts for people to drive much more safely in those areas and i think the citations are another part of it besides the visibility and it's unfortunate that the culture of speeding continues unless we take more efforts with engineering and continue enforcement on a regular basis in my opinion but thank you so much for the data. >> sure. >> and i just want to add to that because i know we've had lots of conversations and i do want to recognize the richmond station and i think they have done a tremendous job and it clearly shows in the data we've gotten and just an example of that is the tenderloin station we have one stop sign in the entire presinct so the data is not going to look the same throughout the city even if the sfpd officers are dedicated to ensurg a reduction and with walk sf and the bike coalition to better
