here are some early concepts what we're looking to do at third and kearny and geary. we'll be creating a short section of about 50 feet long where we have a bus only lane with bike shares. all vehicles, commercial vehicles and taxis will be required to turn right. similarly, at hayes, we have another one we're looking at. there are no buses in the curb lane. we're able to do a more aggressive treatment with a concrete island or perhaps, concrete element of some kind in the lane to make it clear that cars are not allowed to go straight. the first three blocks were estimated to cost $191 million. that would have been all the funding that we had for better market street unless there was no funding for future phases. with the new 2020 design, we are still making improvements to critical infrastructure. we've reduced the cost of the project, including $7 million for redesign, this first three blocks, fifth to eighth street, comes to about $124 million. we would save $67 million towards this first phase. we can use that funding for the f-loop and future phases. our next sli

my concern is about geary and third street. i did not see something about planning for up zoning of geary. i noticed that the new geary transit line will cost at least between stanon and 34th avenue $235 million. that is less than half of the entire project cost of the new downtown to the ocean geary line. i did not see any planning for the up zoning of geary. i wonder if i missed it or if i haven't, i think it should be looked at. along the third street railway we spent hundreds of millions of dollars during the administration of mayor brown. there was a decision not to up zone along that transit line. i think we should look at money to plan up zoning along that line. i don't mean any up zoning other than the lots facing third. i don't want to have us end up re-zoning all of that industrial properties east and west of third, but i think along third it should be in the budget. thank you very much. >> seeing no request to speak public comment is closed. the matter is before you. this is not an action item. that will come back to
