, they have a problem of finding an acceptable location. >> we can reject the location, which would come back to us. >> i would like to approve the leases for two years with an acceptable location to be determined shortly at a future meeting. is there a second? all those in favor? it is unanimous. thank you all for coming. >> we are now on item 13, which is washington square, the north beach festival of states -- festival of state -- update. i think we will adjourn the meeting, and then we will have information items. we are going to lose our forum, so i think i have to officially adjourn the meeting, and then we can hear public information items and presentations to the committee. i would entertain a motion to adjourn. unanimous. thank you, commissioner. with that, we are going to information items. >> this is what the presentation is about. in attendance was the staff and our park ranger, and promoters of the north beach festival. an overview, and i am going to give you a slide show. there were improvements from the impact to the site as a result of the work done last year, so remember

the design team is located at 651 brannon street. there are 31 staff members at the project office and 63 at the design office. the remainder of staff that are dedicated to the project are city resources and other sister departments, the city attorney's office. those resources that are supporting the program that we had intended to use city resources for, they are staffed and located in their city offices. just a quick recall of the alignment. if you take a look at the top map and start from right to left, the alignment starts at 4th and king, connecting to the 3rd street tracks. the red line runs along 4th street in surface configuration and enters a portal at other near the i-80 overpass and goes underground. the green lines shows it proceeds along 4 hth street, and proceeds all the way for columbus where it will have an extraction shaft at washington square. the lower portion of the graphic is in section, and it gives you a graphic depiction of what the elevations of the track will look like and what the stations will look like. p

there are very few locations that you can find. that means our relationship to the sky, there is a way where we dominate the sky. we cannot see anything really. we are blinding ourselves in a way. >> you can look at the images, they are beautiful. when i started four years ago, there was a conversation about environmental issues that was very different. this is not being talked about in the way it is now. . this has just been like an amazing growth. i anticipate the project to be something that opens a dialogue to public interest in these ideas. so the work is really made to be seen in this environment. it's been show in museum, in gallery, but never in a public setting. and it's kind of ideal for both myself and the works to have this real dialogue with the public not only in san francisco but people coming from all over the world. >> since the dawn of electricity, that light is something that people feel connected to and inspired by. personally, there is space to keep that alive, just finding balance. the key is to find some bala

there are two other locations that are unique. this particular one, they started hiring patrol specials after a very unfortunate incident. while it was unfortunate and we do not want to dismiss the severity of it, incidents like that tend to be random. so having want someone stationed there -- so having someone stationed there may or may not call something to happen. as you know, there have been unfortunate incidents right outside of the police department. there has been an unfortunate incident with a patrol specialist present. the mere presence of the uniform does not mean a crime will not happen. we're not dismissing the importance that the citizens or the business place on having the patrol special there, they're not performing a service that needs to be done under the commission or affiliated with the city. this picture is another business location that has had lots of clients. they were individual businesses. certainly, the patrol special in this area was a very popular patrol special and did a service for their individual pr

my family has been at this location 1101 fillmore for 23 years now. when we first opened 23 years ago, we told the community we weren't going to just be another corner store. the last thing they needed was another corner store, so we said, we're going to put in a pharmacy so the community went for that. as part of my licensing process, we got a liquor license. as part of the liquor license, we had a couple of conditions, one was the pharmacy and that we would keep the hours of 9:00 to 9:00. so you look at a liquor store 9:00 to 9:00, i mean, in my area, i'm the last to open, the first to close. that's not what our business is about. when it comes to the pharmacy, the way things have gone in the past few years, business has been declining in the pharmacy but my store sales make up for my losses in the pharmacy. we give people the best service they can have when it comes to the pharmacy. i have people who can't afford copays and we waive them or they can pay them when they can, they're on limited incomes. 90% of my customers are low-income and senior ci

locations will be coordinated among two projects. submit requests to the mta for these locations at www.sfmta.org/walk, and some improvements may improve parking, so there are some design costs incorporated in the project. last is the school crosswork -- crosswalk improvement project. i welcome any questions you might have. commissioner campos: thank you very much for your presentation. why don't we open it up for public comment? any member of the public? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, no questions? we have a motion by avalos, seconded by carmen chu. we can take that without objection. thank you very much. next item. clerk cheng: recommend third amendment of san francisco's 2008 lifeline transportation program project priorities to include $1,691,391 for the municipal transportation agency's bus service restoration project. >> we have items that need to be resolved before we are ready to recommend this item. i want to acknowledge the importance of the item, because we are talking about additional money. so i would

some of the locations. our media partner the san jose mercury news reports that san jose and milpitas city officials received a call yesterday from pg&e. san jose got word of two high-risk gas pipelines, one near north first street, another mere the border of milpitas. milpitas got word they have some of the most dangerous. pressure is growing from federal and state leaders and the public state utilities commission for pg&e to reveal specific locations of its riskiest pipelines. >> the level of detail necessary so we can identify exactly where the pipe goes so people who have a right to know what's under their house. >> as far as the cleanup of the san bruno blast and fire, that should start later this week. it's expected to take about one day per property, and there are 39 destroyed homes. again, the list of highest risk gas pipelines expected out sometime today. coming up in half an hour, we're going to have pg&e's reasons for not willingly and freely releasing those 100 most dangerous lines. the pipeline

the same way other operators have closed that location down in the past 10 years. prauf but sometimes common sense is not so common, so we kept on going. and we started changing our operation. what we should have done is come. you and ask you for a change of use, but we didn't. maybe we should have went to the planning department and asked them for change of use, whatever the normal process is. we did not do that. am i guilty of that? very much so, yes, i am. but as we losing all this money, we come to a desperate situation and how do we stay in business? we took about 80% of the groceries out, we did. it was not done because of greed because if you do thing for greed it's because you want to make more money. we never made any money. greed had nothing to do with that. wasn't done to spite anybody. it wasn't. we were the ones working there every day and losing must be. we never laid off anyone of our employees. all the losses were accrued because of groceries? absolutely not. we have is t same amount of employees we had when we open regardless of the losses. couple

and we have used a yellow dot to show the housing authority locations. and approximately 50. and now it is in the as clear from the powerpoint screen as it may be if you look at the hard copy maps that i posted up over here behind me and you could look at them later. but what you could see when you have some clarity to it is there is includesering. there's includesering of the vulnerable buildings and the -- buildings and the s.r.o.'s and the housing authority in tenderloin and chinatown and north beach and areas south of market and as well as areas in the mission. they're not only includesers, but they're also clustered everylaying the faction zones. we have two factors at work here. next slide. and now our next map is dropping in yet another later. and we have green dots that have been overlaid to show the approximately 4300 soft story buildings if san francisco. and this is information that came courtesy of the department of building inspection who does an actual block by block survey of soft story buildings in 2007 and 2008. and again, what is meaningful about this slide

it's located in the tanforan mall. call them: we want to let you know this store is also working with the red cross to transport animals from fire sites to petco. >> also, a local hotel is opened up its rooms for free for victims of the fire. the alpine inn and suites in daly city offering free rooms to people who need a place to stay. to reach the hotel, call 415- 334-6969. >> 53 homes destroyed. just families -- >> just gone, without anything. so that's certainly a wonderful gesture. >>> it is 4:53. coming up, some of the other headlines of the day, including what could be another body that was found in that east bay murder spree. >> and we'll share some pictures viewers took of the san bruno fire as it happened. ,, ,,,,,, >>> these are pictures from chopper 5. firefighters still pouring flames on smoldering wreckage of what used to be homes. one firefighter says all there are left now are chimneys standing. >> there are still flames. they are still trying to figure out -- we know it was a gas line that exploded and

we are desirous that the service take place at a number of locations. 1 location is pier 1.5, where thereother is the hyde street harbor. the exploritoium, which hopefully will be built soon, also has allotted space for a water taxi service. we hope that there would be such a site there. all of these require little in terms of capital improvements. pier 1.5 is a relatively new, hyde is also relatively new. and they would need to focus on providing bustles of operation. a water taxi is defined as a dayvessel no more -- as a vessel no more than 60 feet in length. the maximum capacity of around 40 people. we have restricted use so that it cannot be used as a dining vessel. we have provided detailed experience. we received four responses to the rfi. we've reviewed each of the letters of interest we received and determined 1, san francisco water taxi llc, was the only candidate that did not require a port subsidy. san francisco water taxi proposed a true project that would utilize the port birthing locations, taking people from point to point transit throughout theçç day. ç-- the bay. negot

we have one store located in district 6. ha hthey have a conditional use permit. in the findings of the executive summary, they downplayed the community's support. they stated that the department received a phone call from bob be white, who said he had signatures. he is the owner of a boutique that store. additional letters from associations requesting the denial of the conditional use permit and letters were attached. hawkthey were contesting the opg of pet food supplies rigid pose food express. i would like to mention -- the opening of pet food express. i would like to mention we have customers much more comfortable driving to their neighborhood shop. >> i can say that low prices on pet food have adjusted our business so severely we are not even selling pet food. one quick example of how we cannot compete, i have a receipt for high quality pet food. it results in a price of 50 cents per box. our wholesale price is 45 -- $54, which is $3. we would make 75 cents. we cannot compete with that. there are other examples where we could not sell a certain bakery chief -
