and up to $20 million in crop k identified in the fifth strategic plan. we will continue to seek strategic funds from grant sources like climate initiatives on the shop program for resurfaces and contributions from undeveloped projects. but we are in a good position on the operating side where the project will reduce operating costs because of travel times. which will result in operation savings. >> of the $2.9 million we are appropriating, how much of that could be the appropriated if -- appropriated if funding is obtained? >> that is a very good question if you are paying attention to the details. we are coming forward with 100% funding right now. what happens when it becomes available as it requires only a 20% local match. whatever is left to be spent would be obligated to be replaced with small starts. supervisor campos: when will we know that? >> when the newly elected folks in washington decide. supervisor campos: any other questions? thank you for your presentation. does any member of the public wish to speak on this item? seeing no one, public com

the van ness brt is the signature project in the prop k expenditure plan. it had been identified in the countywide transportation plan of 2004 as part of our strategy for expanding rapid transit in san francisco. it is a highly rated fta small starts project. we have been rated high for cost effectiveness. it is also a regional party for the small start program. we are part of mt a's vision for rapid transit as expressed through their transit affected this project. it is an exciting project for the muni system. where we are right now is the environmental analysis and product development phase. 12%, 30% engineering. we have made a lot of progress. we have completed all the technical studies for the environmental analysis. we have completed 12% project engineering. this is what we are calling phase one in this request. we are moving on to stage two. stage two comprises additional environmental work and the initiation of 30% project development. i will go a little bit more into the scope of this effort in a moment. there is a third phase. the third phase is so

that was put on the ballot in 1989 and grandfathered into prope k.s rapid transit was nowhere to be found. what about the light rail, people asked. there is a stop at union square. there is a spurt for light rail possibilities on geary. before you go forward with this project, i suggest that you all look into the background of this project to see the work that has been done over the last 20 years to try to make bus rapid transit. you'll have the same problems there that i mentioned you would have with emergency vehicles. supervisor mirkarimi: next speaker, please. >> ♪ we need good services and i hope that you make it to the bus stop and i give it all i hope you give it all you can give and to make it to the bus stop at the top ♪ supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. further public comments? seeing no one, public comment disclosed. can we take this without objection? will call, please. >> [roll call vote] the item passes. supervisor mirkarimi: next item, please. >> item number 7. award a two-year consultant contract to wmh corporation, in an amount not to

. $31 million in prop k, $32 million in problem be. the combination of these funds, along with a projected savings from current capital projects are what is identified as a solution for closing the remaining funding gap for the central subway program. as a maximum -- since central subway have received the maximum allocation under prop k, as you can see, the items identified under kapor reprogramming, a number of projects would require the reprogramming of prop k and sfmta, along with the sfcta will be working on a reprogramming efforts that will start immediately and conclude prior to the submission of the financial plan in february of next year. a $34 million in prop 1a is part of the $61 million state funds for high-speed rail. one of the conditions of that funding was connectivity. central subway provides a direct link to caltrain and imposed high speed rail station at fourth and townsend. earlier this year in march, we put in a programming request to the california transportation commission for $27 million, and we were approved by
