>> director reiskin. >> yeah, i mentioned i was up at a office building adjacent to the site and it was impressive to see the magnitude of the work and you can see when you look down and how much excavation is getting done. the progress is pretty impressive. just one question on the schedule and i apologize if i asked this before. the schedule on the completion of the steel now shows september 15 which is better than the baseline schedule of november 15 and i am just wondering is that based on the current structure of the steel bids in terms when we expect to get to ntp and the duration or do we expect that to be reicized? >> good question. so the construction milestones that i just showed you that are in the update as i understand it not inclusive of any final impact we may discover with the steel bids. however, we believe that we can control that and that's what we're working on once we get the bids back and i know webcor is working on ways to do work arounds and strategize how to increase the speed for delivering the steel. i have seen some milestones that stayed pretty darn close to

reiskin a few questions. in terms of plans in different parts of san francisco again, i've called the hearing that - potential parking meters were going into rural heights areas. when are the public agencies start to notify the public about when those plans become a public or the ones that you've articulated and presented today those are the only ones being concerned internally? they're not that many other pockets of unmanned parking that have this. we've responding each week from residents and businesses from city projects where we're making parking adjustments every month through the public process at the mta board but in terms of large parking studies those are all we have planned now. and frankly you know what it's taken to get through the northeast mission. i don't think there's any more of those to be done & at any time in the future >> colleagues any other comments. >> thank you, mr. reiskin i personally think that district 2 would be a very good candidate moving forward. i'm joking but i want to call

ed reiskin director of transportation. i'll start with acknowledging the strengthen and opening comments that i get and i understand that parking is a sensitive issue it matters to people in how they live their lives and how they get to where they're going. it's important part of the transportation we understand and appreciate. so therefore i'm grateful to walk through the parking management more generally in san francisco. so in brief inning - i'm going to speak a little bit about the current projects. so i just want to start with the context to remind folks that the sfmta was put together by the voters to manage the transportation system and to intrathd and coordinated way to achieve the girls laid out for us in the charter. managing parking is part of that we have a charter mandate that mansions things clear it includes managing parking. i represent fully decline we don't manage parking we have a charter mandate that requires us to do otherwise. we can discuss whether or not we're doing that well or not and i look forwa

reiskin, and your boss in city hall mr. lee, as a means of harassing the poor and the working class. we don't have any cost down on montgomery street checking the bankers coming in and out of the doors, finding out how many billions they stole from us. you are not having them say, look, you turn in your buddy who ripped off a widow of her house, turn that in and get her work. no. you are continuously attacking the poor and the working class. it's a political attack on us. >> chair nolan: anyone else care to address the board on the director's report. none. >> moving on to the citizens advisory council report. item 9, public comment, opportunity for members of the public to address the board on items not on today's agenda. >> good afternoon mr. patel. >> my name is neil patel, planning director with the san francisco bicycle coalition to announce an event that the severn cisco coalition is putting on with the sfmta, the dependent living center and the office of -- it's an adaptive cycling event, at the june 9th -- and the do

reiskin for coming here and talking about. i think the comments were enlighting i have learned a lot here today. you know, it seems like we have certainty areas of town dog patch where there's certainly parking plans talked about and those are going to be the subject of debate golden forward. and thank you for coming and talking about that. today was not continuously expanding parking meter hours there's debate about sunday's but expanded the location of parking meters throughout our city. i want to be sure we have a public discussion and if there are no other plans today to expand this project. there's a lot of fear and it's missed information i want to make sure this is part of record and thank you, mr. riskin for being here and talking about that. i want to make sure we have a dialog with the board of supervisors and protecting the quality of life for the folks in san francisco. with that we've had this hearing i think this will come up but at this point i'd be happy tabling this hearing >> anything to add? >> thank you ver

(calling names) >> i have lived at my home in the mission - okay. >> can you start the clock again, please. can we get the microphone pulled close >> on the other hand, they claim that parking has no impact because fewer people drive. that's an environmental -- on the other hand, mta adds parking meters expands payment hours and increases finances all the in name of the demand because they say their is a shortage of parking and on the 3rd hand mta says all those changes are good for us although people in san francisco are kids. expanding parker meters in mixed neighborhood would change the character of our neighborhoods for worse. for over half a century people have changed their work on parking issues.

i would like to thank mary borley and director reiskin. -- you are saying everything the industry want to say. you recommended the solution, to make sure that on regular that services will drive the regular providers out of business. -- also, you pointed out too that electronic hailing should not be exempt from regulation. regarding regulation, the hackers' code, better to ask for forgiveness than permission; if this will be the new way of the world, how can we regulate, govern, protect the public if this is how it's going to be? my request to you, my question is, these comments it is so excellent, are you prepared to act on them if the puc doesn't? i know it takes courage. i know, or i have heard or feel that mayor lee is not going to be favorable to you if you do act, hopefully i am wrong, and he is highly influenced by the people from sand hill road. i want to ask to have the courage to act. >> chair nolan: next item. >> moving on to consent calendar. these are items considered routine, acted on a roll call. as previous stated 10.2 p q r and s have been removed; the rest of the cons
