. >> i think director heinicke you have a really good point and similar to the tep point that director reiskin responded to quite eloquently. this is the maximum thing we could do on 3rd and 4th street. obviously when we do the analysis and get more into detail, the ability for us to do all of this will be dependent on many factors. so we may decide that the transit lane is the most important thing to do, if we're going to see a huge impact on regional traffic. we as a city haven't really made clear our role on regional traffic. so this project is really pushing that for us. so we'll figure that out as we get closer to the analysis. i take that point. >> and we'll be looking at capacity as well, won't we? >> right. >> because i know that we look at a bunch of cars in travel lanes, and we think that is moving loads and loads of people, but the reality may well be with the transit lane and with that cycle track and widened sidewalk we'll have the ability to move more people. and 3rd street is people coming into the caltrain station. >> other way, 3rd street is northbound. >> 3rd street o

i really liked what director heinicke said, understanding why this is happening. when you are conveying information, make sure that people do understand the situation that we are in, and why it's happening. you said early on in your presentation, that transportation is the key, the life blood of our city and a lot of different people feel that about whatever they do. you ask the small businesses and they are the life blood of the city and the tourism will say -- i think what is important about transportation in particular, even if you are not a transit rider, you are still impacted by the transportation system. everybody what that is in a car has more parking spaces available to them when people take transit. i think it's important that people understand that this transportation system itself is supposed to serve everyone, not just the transit riders themselves. so thank you very much for all of your great work and looking forward to the ongoing conversation and continuing to hear back from the public as we move forward. one last thing -- the maps themselves i not

. >> going back to director heinicke's point, the bikes and pedestrians go have options, because it's flat for the most part. so i think as along as you were saying, you provide for the different modes on streets in a reasonable distance that i think it could. >> directors? director rubke? >> i know this is still in the concept phase and we're still going -- there is a lot of work to be done, but the timing of this versus the 2nd street project. because this is kind of my neighborhood and a lot of people have expressed concerns about through-put? >> we can jump to that now or? >> soon. thank you. next steps. >> so folsom and howard, as noted earlier, this was identified in en trips. en trips provided a few promising alternatives, a few keeping them one way and a few changing them to two way. so we developed a one way and two-way option, both working through environment and the folsom street pilot project will provide a lot of critical data to inform the final concept. so the one-way offers a -- this is folsom -- a two-way cycle track. on the north side of the street. and the two-way a

could just add one comment, chairman nolan, just to provide balance to the comments made by director heinicke with yes we'll have a central subway in the future, which will probably reduce a lot of the need for too much travel outside of a car. i do want to make sure just to provide a balance, that often times new transit systems or a new transit station from my perspective is going to generate more pedestrian and more bicycle trips to those stations. right now, it's just an absolute nightmare to get around on a bicycle or as a pedestrian. i'm actually looking very forward to doing whatever we can to prioritize the transit or the bicycling in that part of the city, specifically as access to getting to those future stations. so looking forward to the analyses in the future and seeing that it doesn't create an absolute disaster or what have you, but really looking forward to looking at the through-put and how it's going balance out the project. >> thank you very much. thank you all. next item, miss boomer. >> mr. chairman, i don't see any member of the public. >> i don't either. >> item 15, pre

director heinicke? [ inaudible ] >> oh, thank you. thank you, bob, i appreciate that. [ laughter ] i will take you on the road with me. the last time we had one of these sessions, i pestered you about a plan for market street and closing it to private vehicles and you said maybe it would happen and this is our last meeting in december, so i think i at least expect that we'll be hearing something about the plans -- much-anticipated plans for market street and this board's direction maybe in january? >> that is correct. what i have for you -- i have it already, just not vetted and ready to present, is a list of kind of an array, a spectrum of options that we could do from things of signage and education and enforcement to a much larger auto restriction. so i wouldn't say it's a plan that i will be bringing to you, but i will bring you the range of ideas and costs for your consideration in january. >> very good. and then the other thing sort of ongoing item is at the last meeting, we sort of put one aspect of the taxi information contrac

director heinicke. >> motion to recuse. >> second. >> all those in favor, say aye? >> aye. >> you are recused. >> members? >> just a couple of questions for mr. carr. thank you. i think it looks like we're setting a new standard for community outreach and this time we have loads of compliments for you and last time we had loads of compliments for jay robinson and thank to the community members who served on the board. that is wonderful. one clarifying question. it's just the speeding humps that will be voted on by the community and that will be voted by the street that the speed hump is on? >> correct. our guidelines and our policy is that concurrent with city approval, the final approval step for any speed hump is a straight democratic vote of the housing units on that block. so an apartment building with 16 unit, each of those 16 units gets one vote. a single-family home is one unit and they get one vote. so yes, the final approval of the speed humps and i believe there are 20 -- either 27 or 29. that particular digit slips my head, but that all of those will be v
