as optional piers. the reason is the alcatraz embarkation site will be under construction for a few years. we want to make sure that project is complete before we introduce a new potential construction project right next door. that's the reason for holding those as optional piers and this area of the water front has the highest number of resources. highest length of contiguous rfrt -- amount of resources. in thinking about what the piers can deliver, it would be incredible to imagine the transformation of this part of the waterfront. in thinking about the criteria of how to select potential partner, these are the five bullet points that are experience with engagement and a plan how to engage the community if selected. they need an early activation strategy and we think pier 29 has the opportunity to be an early activation site and permanent public oriented type of pier use because of the unique construction circumstances attached to the parking lot next to the terminal. it would have to include use and

you can see piers 30, 32 say large pier complex over the water. it's the only pier complex in the northern waterfront not part of the district because sprarts burn -- parts have burned out and it's across the embarcadero. it provides more modern architecture than the historic piers. it also moves the benefit of historic preservation which was an galvanizing of the update co gain the benefits of the historic structures. a different calculus in that regard. the goal of the presentation is to build off prior staff reports to look at both sites and look at past transactions that have attempted to develop those sites unsuccessfully harkening back to the discussion we just had. starting with piers 30, 32 and go through site information and the prior transactions since early 2000s that have tried to develop the site and run through options for piers 30, 32 for lot 330 and run through lots at seawall lots 330 and seek comment and direction. here's piers 30, 32 in close up showing the maritime deep water area. and this also shows the beginning of the day o

37 to the right and then moving it left you had the original pier 39 footprint over to pier 41 and pier 43. all of these have been built by 1938 and are sitting adjacent to and water side of the former beach street m.g.p. plant. briefly, pier 39 it's a fascinating picture. when you look at the left, the 1969 area, shows you the historic pier 39 to the right by pier 37 and to the left by pier 41. by 1976, all of these over water structures have been removed to make way for the new pier 39 facility. the 1980 aerial on the right shows now the new pier 39 which is a pile supported pier structure and to the right side is their east small craft harbor marina. on the left is the west marina where excursions have taken place. the entire pier 39 when constructed in the late '70s is protected by rock break water and fishing pier. moving left away from pier 39, we move over towards what we call pier 41 1/2. this area was occupied starting in 1979 by blue and gold fleet who was operating pleasure cruises out of an area within the pier 39 west harbor. in the late early '90s pier 41 was taken down, t

as optional piers. the reason is the alcatraz embarkation site will be under construction for

so pier et as i mentioned, it's the last pier, just east of treasure island. yerba buena island of the former bay bridge alignment. and the proposal there is rather than demolishing the pier all the way down to the mud line of the bay, as was in their original bcdc permit, caltrans has proposed and bckc has approved removing the upper portion of the pier and then constructing access from the shoreline out to the pier, as a public access improvement to bring people out on to the bay and give them a different experience along the shoreline. so this is where pier e2 is relative to the east end of the island and the new bay bridge. and this is some shots of the construction in progress. you can see they've already taken the pier down to the intended level and back to the shoreline they've cruxed it. -- constructed it. and planned view of how that will tie in with the proximity to the torpedo building and access back to north gate road. because caltrans needs to do some environmental work in the vicinity of area where the parking and bike racks are indicated, there

he worked to develop batching operations at pier 90-92 and the hansen bulk pier import terminal at pier 94, and he was a big part of the sustainable intermodal operations at the port yard. peter led the transitioning of our south beach harbors operation and staff to port management during a budget deficit and to a surplus. i had the opportunity to work with peter both as his colleague and his boss. among the things i admire about him are one, his commitment to business at the port, and the commitment to the waterfront. two, his real understanding of what it takes to keep a working waterfront going. and three, his optimism and his kindness. peter believes in the potential of every single person he interacts with and he wants to see it through with every person. he led the port department with distinction such that every person will feel the experience of our working waterfront. peter, your work with will carry on. and of course peter's kindness. we will miss you. you've always had a kind comment to everyone having a bad day. i don't know where to send them day. peter is looking forward t

would we keep the pier? have we thought about that at all? >> we have but not in a fully analyzed way. we thought about intermediate leasing where we maximize public entertainment venues the less acres we thought about ways to retain some of the pier and get out to the deep water berth. we don't see a revenue model that paces back from the model of the deep water berth but now that we have so many ship values we are looking where a secondary cruise may go. we thought about a lot of various options and are responsible for the pier and we were to demolish all the pier it's a cost burden we bear and we have to secure the seawall and make sure that area of the waterfront is strong for earthquake. i think the deep water is value to the site for maritime operations and from a city perspective for emergency response you can see how the site could be extraordinarily valuable but the cost of the pier is what always overtakes the conversation. >> how can it be added to the water transportation system for various uses? >> there was a report that looked

if you take a look at what new york has done with their piers, such a chelsea piers, this would be a wonderful site for the extension recreation. if we homeless services here in the middle of this residential community with thousands of tourists and support's fans everyday, we lose that opportunity to extended the recreational facilities that are needed in the city and this is not the pre-1989 earthquake and this is the new and improved and we need to support that. thank you. >> my name is john patchner and i've lived in this city all my life, at 239 brannon street, a block and a half from the proposed site. i think everyone here is very aware that there is no pretty solution to an ugly problem. and so these homeless service locations come with burdens. i would urge the city, i would urge you to reconsider how you spread those urbans throughout the greater geographic city. just in my small neighborhood of southbeach within whil, while is up on the screen, that there is no service centre on the waterfront, within a mile, perhaps, less, there were two centres for the hopeles homeles. o

their temporary and disappear after a few weeks so the documentary walking on water about the floating piers is all we have to remember that installation christo was in berlin on tuesday evening for the premier. eighty three years old and completely undaunted the artist christo travelled across the globe to the german premiere of the documentary walking on water. shows how he made it possible for more than one million people to do just that. is installation the floating peers in northern italy was the most visited art event of two thousand and sixteen. they will. walk. no rails but plenty of obstacles. as the bumpy ride of getting the project ready in time with christos temper constantly in full flare tantrums it seems are essential to the artist's process. or their you know. the doctor lead us an orderly that's the way he functions he likes this neurotic and gene because he keeps him going and like for example he doesn't like to eat during the day because when you're a little bit hungry you're more edgy and they're not all pink probably three porcupine is the moment when things need to be h

right now, we looked at reds, pier 23. right now, the pricing is at the very lowest end of what it probably could be. so the final thing that i looked at was how are we going to position that within your portfolio of casual approachable successful waterfront restaurants. so really, pier 23, high dive, and red's are what we're going to model our business plan after. right now, it's really underperforming, and we think that we can, after the renovation, adding a bar and an outdoor patio, we can form it into a better business operation and be an assess to the waterfront. that's the conclusion of my presentation. thanks. >> thank you, paul. >> that's the conclusion of the entire presentation, so we welcome your questions and any comments. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner makras? >> first, good afternoon. i guess i will start off -- i want to focus in on the tenant in good standing policy. obviously, the tenant improvements promised by this operator are

we thought about a lot of various options and are responsible for the pier and we were to demolish all the pier it's a cost burden we bear and we have to secure the seawall and make sure that area of the waterfront is strong for earthquake. i think the deep water is value to the site for maritime operations and from a city perspective for emergency response you can see how the site could be extraordinarily valuable but the cost of the pier is what always overtakes the conversation. >> how can it be added to the water transportation system for various uses? >> there was a report that looked at krfrt -- consistent uses and there were negative numbers and we can dust that off and look at it again if you'd like us to explore that option or prepare a solicitation and see what the market has to say to us and then think of our own options. whatever the commission prefers. >> my position would be for to you come back and bring us solicitation proposal with the guidelines. >> if we lad to invest in the -- if we had to invest in the pier with the seawall and upgrades and sea level rising, what c

they have over 300 pier support members that they rely on, and they have also a pier support kind of cert team that is 40 deep. 10 of which are on call at any one time. that when there is an incident, they go down the list and they call the 10 and they respond and they are paid over time to respond. typically they have three or four of these members that show up to any particular incident at any one time. i know we've leaned on those guys for certain incidents as well. if you think about what that does is, that takes the pressure off of the pier support unit itself. there are five or six members in that unit. it takes the pressure off of them. they're not flipping, like we're flipping in our unit. we're not losing people because the pressure is off them. and they have a deep, shall i say, pool of people that are responding that are taking the load and spreading the load of each of those incidents across the 40 members that are actually responding to the incident. they have got, i want to say 10 -- 10 different people from different religions that respond. it's deep. their pier suppor

pier one shares up 259%. avon up 81%. this is all in 2019.s today and this underscores the risk/reward of buying into these names but many investors i know always want to buy them. they come and say charles, pier 1 looks cheap. as they bought it in january, they were right. let's ask danielle. she's back with us. these names are household names, they were hot at one point. at one point, pier 1 was untouchable. the stock went up for years until people gave up on liquor. that was before you got probably, went to the furniture market. the same thing with all of these names. they kind of fade away. what do you think about investors kind of giving them a look or sometimes i would say rolling the dice with them, because obviously, if they are beaten down, there were some issues. >> i actually really like avon and vera bradley because of the way they performed after their earnings reports. when something gaps up after an earnings report or has had several quarters in a row of positive growth, i think it's a great time to look at it again. charles: y

the city of berkeley is planning to rebuild nearly 3,000 feet of the old pier and they also approved $110,000 to study the idea of adding a modern ferry terminal. >> this could bring an enormous amount of people to our waterfront and really help invigorate our waterfront. >> reporter: the expansion is controlled by the water emergency transportation authority. next month they will consider adding an additional $250,000 towards the berkeley ferry study. >> certainly in our 2016 strategic plan that looks at the next 20 years of ferry expansion in the bay area. >> i could imagine using it and skipping the bridge. >> i love the ferries. >> reporter: fisherman t. isn't convinced. >> that ferry would probably interfere with fishing because it would probably scare all the fish. >> reporter: the soonest ferry service could start is 2025. in berkeley, don ford, kpix5. >>> up next a new partnership aimed at saving some of the bay area's biggest trees. >> reporter: so we're in the santa cruz mountains checking out more than 300 acres of pristine redwood forest that just opened up to the public.

i ask you to piers masses of palestinian protesters have approached very close to the fence steady support it's just a free to them from the border with israel as you can see despite the older members and the thirty members that are supposed to be deployed along the border into gaza strip to prevent the protesters from approaching the fence she can see the protesters are very close to the fence on the other side the israeli army is going massive amounts of gas pumps on the protesters using also drones that are throwing the gas comes stays on the town itself the protesters very far away from the ten others from the borders. more and more gas bombs are being fired on the protesters as you can hear the paramedics the ambulances have approached very close also to defense because of the protesters who had to in a very short distance from the tense as you can see one woman was shot a little she's been taken by the paramedics and the protesters to the ambulance my guess bombs are being fired now. in these just few hours couple hours we have lots of injuries that have fallen throughout the border

floating piers was christos first major solo project since his romantic and artistic partner john clode died in two thousand and nine together they wrapped the australian coast back in one nine hundred sixty nine over the next decades they erected a curtain over this colorado valley and gave germany's parliament building blystone a new look and it was together that the couple developed the concept for floating peers back in the one nine hundred seventy s. a gigantic undertaking for an installation lasting just sixteen days. ago. on this board who stay for ever. present cannot be removed from the mind of the people and the people of wherever. christers next work a tower out of four hundred and ten thousand barrels this time it's meant to be a permanent structure in the middle of the desert. quite fascinating now for something a fascinating discovery is really research a say they've discovered the world's longest soar to cave in months i don't know the dead sea and international expedition led by the hebrew university of jerusalem spent two years being the cave the cave thought to be the

now pier near pier they're almost there pure adjacent is there. and that's why we need to get these people to not buy weapons from russia or china but from. their adversaries but we should be selling them stuff not anybody else really make. such an incredibly smart and there's sort of a long history of this government trying to do these things for oh we'll give you a great deal. missiles and we'll finance it. never really worked they did it back in the eighty's a bunch of stuff you know kind of loan programs failed. due to missed payments shocker there was another effort to create a similar program under bill clinton but that fell apart because congress pushed the loan term. civilian terms and of course governments don't want to have to pay. like the rest of us. the moment that they decided to be like hey maybe we'll make the interest rates like normal everyday trying to get interest rates or trying to get that no you can't have that. incredible. and the other thing we have to understand too is that we already have a kind of version of this progra

where the building -- the actual fire station will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 1/2 for installation. >> we are looking at late 2020 for completion of the fireboat float. the historic fire house will remain on the embarcadero. we will still respond out of the firehouse with our fire engine and respond to medical calls and other incidents raratin the district. >> the if a sill has to incorpora incorporate five to 6 feet of sea level rise. it's built on a float that can move up and down as the water level rises, and so it's on four fixed guide piles, so as the seas go up, it wican move and down with the bay. it does have a full range of travel from low tide to high tide of about 16 feet. so that allows for current tidal movements as well as several extra feet for sea level rise in the coming decades. >> the fireboat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. >> the access ramp is rigidly connected to the land side or more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then, it's sliding over the top of the float. so then that way, the r

we've partnered with the port of san francisco at pier 94 and last year. over a thousand volunteers participated in events planting flayive plants, removing nonnative and weeds and collecting native seed and learning more about our local native environment. there are over 400 bird species that rely on san francisco either as a winter habitat as a valuable resting area during migration or as important area roosting and nesting along the shore and within the city. these birds evolved with the native plants. they depend upon them for nectar, for feed and for the insects that are attracted to the plants. san francisco is in the midst of the specific flyway which is major migratory root for birds. now we're faced protecting our environment and national heritage despite increasing urban density and climate change. goldengate supports biodiversity and encourages the implementation of the resolution and the biodiversity leadership of the port. we look forward to our continued partnership. thank you. >> president brandon: bob hall. >> thank you. san francisco is a

run the san francisco bay ferry system are considering a plan to restore the 92-year-old berkeley pierdebating a proposal to attach a ferry terminal that could transport passengers to and from san francisco. earlier this month berkeley county council approved $110,000 for a study to repair that dilapidated pier. the water emergency transportation authority that controls the ferry system is expected to contribute an additional $250,000 to that plan. >> this could bring an enormous amount of people to our waterfront and really help reinvigorate our waterfront. >> we certainly heard from a lot of people in berkeley, albany, emeryville, those areas of the east bay. this has been something that's been looked at a number of years. >> if everything is approved, visits could see an improved ferry system there by 2025. >>> a historic all female spacewalk canceled, the wardrobe problem that's forcing nasa to change its plans. >>> a hearing has been going on all day in napa to debate a proposed set of environmental rules both sides say could stop the growth of the wine industry in the region. kpi
