so, they are only this those two spots on this girder and the southern, the other girder there is only one crack, only one on the other half of the side. what we did fairly immediately after september 25th, we did have to get an initial stabilization. this was the jacks. this was something that was put up. it was readily available and we knew the strength of those, the engineer of record for the building was engaged and also readily available material from contractors were found and were put in place on fremont street to ensure the stabilization of that area. that was really just an initial start because when the cracks were found, we didn't realize what the stability of the building was. so that's why these were put in place to ensure that stability. this then allowed us while that was getting in place the design of the actual shoring system was being done. what we see here as we are looking at the very top is -- would be where the park is. the top of the transit center. there's two round or rectangular circles. those are where the cracks are located on the girders and then you have g

if you picture the girder as the i-beam, that would be the bottom part.rt is the web, and i'll refer to that, as well. [inaudible] >> -- to receipt lines are up there. what it looks like below in the train box are these two levels. this is what's -- the steel supports, those red items in there are jacks that are applying a load to whatever the surface is above it, and in snugging it up so there can be a transfer of load so the repair can be made in there. when you come up to the ground level, this'll probably be the most recognizable because this is where most of the public can see. this has been in place now for a while. those similar jacks are in place as they are pushing up on the bus deck and taking about 70% of that load off of those girders. in the meantime, fremont street has been flowing with no issues since we opened it october 14. now up on the bus deck level, this is the shoring system that was installed. this is mainly what it happens since the last time. these are newer pictures. this is a system that's taking -- like i said, 70% off the gird

a quick update on salesforce transit center girder work. we expect to hear results fairly shortly, hopefully by the end of the month, if not the beginning of next month. the expert team has already begun working on design and ensure us of causes of potential physici fissures. the effort is intended to reduce the implementation time, of course, so that we can reopen the facility as soon as possible and ensure that the entire facility is safe for the public to use. on the downtown rail extension governance and oversight work that we've been asked to do by this board we've been working with our partners to develop a scope of work by our consultants. we plan to have them on board by year end and we'll provide an update on our approach both on the phase one review as well as the phase two d.t.x. management and oversight review -- we'll be back to the board by the end of this year. in terms of the bart, additional good news, the station canopies, as chair mentioned, we also find that this is -- this will initially be a benefit at powell, and even
