we have projects like van ness brt and geary moving forward. it is a major disappointment for geary. the van ness has been named as a cart -- party for small start funds. what did not make the cut for us were geary brt, santa clara projects, under development, expecting to see money before the next rtp period. we are not technically precluded from seeking a small start fund but we would potentially be doing so without the benefit of the mtc's benefit -- silver approval. i still think we need to think about how we will approach this. we have the lack of a federal bill appeared when the bill passes, we need to see the revenue level, eligibility requirements. mtc staff included in their language, even though it gave prairies to the next project to the north bay and east bay, the carefully inserted warning that they have to go through a performance analysis and comply with all the requirements. it may be that some of those other projects to the magic of for funding. it is something that we will continue to work on with all of you to make sure that

brt project will insi intersect. obviously the importance was look at. the van ness corridor has a concentration of senior housing that is happening every day, so this is really an ideal way to gauge -- location to talk about introducing high-quality transit. as the discussions continue, i am sure we will be available to provide for their clarity on what could be done in addition to what was already discussed as far as dealing with mitigation. i think that both, the persons of the project there have made it significantly easier for the impacts to be mitigated. this is a key component of the discussions, and we will stay involved and to make sure we can provide as much positive as we can to make sure both projects are successful in locating in the area. supervisor chiu: thank you. one last comment request i would like to make is if there is someone on your staff that has been focused on this, if you could see -- send information to my office about what your projected traffic impacts are and to what degree the medications that have been offered address that, because i

. $5 million toward the van ness and geary brt projects, and $10.5 million will be paid by cpmc to mta in lieu of the transit effective element feet, the tidf, which is not required by law of a nonprofit. in addition, cpmc will impose a parking surcharge of 50 cents off peak and 75 cents on peak for all entries and exits to the cathedral built garages. this will serve as an incentive to use the non-automobile modes of arriving at the hospital for those who can, and it will raise an estimated additional $500,000 per year or $5 million over the 10 years for mta service. last but not least, cpmc will provide a one-time payment of $400,000 to mta for planning for improved bicycle access around and between cpmc's campuses. moving to the related issue a pedestrian safety and streetscape improvements. around cathedral, the agreement is that cpmc will provide $9.35 million in cash to the city, which will then go ahead and make the improvements that you see on at this live here. the bulk of these, about $8 million, will go to the first three items on the list. pedestrian lighting in the tenderl

ness ave. not only that come up with the advent of brt, you will be revitalizing the corridor. if you walk up the corridor, it is lonely out there. it is pretty downtrodden. this really brings new hope and it will breathe new life on to the corridor. and you guys would also be reaffirming transit first, which is part of the city charter. to many times, we have been planning for the automobile, and not so much for transit. this would be a step in the right direction. and that's it. thank you. commissioner campos: thank you. commissioner wiener, do you have a question? commissioner wiener: no. commissioner campos: next speaker, please. my name is brad thomas. i want to applaud you guys on the high level of coordination. this is an excellent compromise and i think it represents the citizens of the city " well, particularly transit riders in general. one thing, there are currently 85,000, roughly 85,000 automobile trips per day on van ness ave. i think it is important to point out on the center lane brt that needs to be a separation between us and automobile, and actual -- an actua

market octavia community advisory committee voted unanimously to endorse the center-run brt in the winter. the van nesscitizens advisory committee voted 6-3. there is a lot of public support for this that goes back to 1995, when muni came out with an four corridors plan, including bus rapid transit. all the way in between through 2009, they are seen as a critical part of the effect of this project. this has been in the works for quite some time. unfortunately, it has been marketed as a something to be built quickly, but we are almost 15 years since we started talking about it. we probably could have built three subway lines by then, but i will not buy rest. the mitigation aspect will be very important. the market octavia cac is very concerned about franklin and golf at market street. let me be clear, we are not interested in facilitating further automobiles in that corridor. we want to secure it for future cycle tracks and transit improvements, for optimizing that court or before the pedestrians. we want -- corridor for the pedestrians. we want to reintroduce the crosswalks that were removed in that pa
