seawall update safety and financial program, the seawall is the foundation of the embarcadero waterfront. it's over a century old, highly vulnerable earthquake damage and it run -- is running out of time to protect the city. phase one will very vel op the overall program and construct critical safety and disaster improvements. phase one is budgeted at 500 34i8 i don't know and -- million and scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026. we're in the program development phase with the goal of completing the program. this predesigned work includes collecting data, field investigations, development and analysis of a range of alternatives, and selecting a preferred program. $15 million is budgeted for this program development work. we've assembled the dedicated team of port staff and consultants to carry out this work, to add to the port team, we are currently recruiting a project funded environmental planner four whom we hope to have on board in september. the major consulting contracts are in place. civic edge consulting, and ch 2 m arca -- no significant modifications during this quarter.

we talk about the seawall and it's a $5 billion project. does this help us figure out how complex it will be? how much will it cost? what will we learn out of the shared study that will help us determine what the seawall khal -- challenges are for us? >> i feel with experts in the room i should defer to the two project managers on this one. >> good evening, commissioners. i'm mark birman, project manager for the core of engineers. it's a great question. we would like to think as we enter into the feasibility study we aren't just trying to figure out whether the corps has a federal interest, but we want to be part of a planning effort that helps understand the problem and understands working with the community and the port and the city, what's the best way to solve that problem and so we have a very daunting challenge. we have sea level rise. a lot of uncertainty associated with seismic risk. we have heard about the heavily used waterfront, it was really enlightening to hear how complicated it is to manage the waterfront and how all those pi

and then, of course, the seawall. there's all of the work that we're doing on the community engagement on preparing for the seawall is also being very directly integrated to the draft amendment of the waterfront plan, as well. so that's kind of a quick breeze through of a lot of work by an extraordinary group of citizens who have dedicated an amazing amount of their life to learning about the waterfront and all of the issues in a very insightful set of public discussions that has yielded these recommendations that we think are very important for the future of the waterfront, both in terms of supporting feasible improvements, recognizing how many competing demands the port commission is trying to manage, and how you have to make choices and you can't do everything. we have also been blessed with great collaboration from the state lands commission staff as well as bcdc through the special area plans discussion and through the city family. multiple city departments have been part and parcel of the work that has been roll

here, they are looking at the effect of a seawall on protecting the house.eef. we've actually been reading some global studies that show that wave energy is actually dissipated 97%, on average, as waves hit a reef crest and go towards shore. so they act like 97% efficient wave break? that's right, if it's a healthy reef with a reef crest. and a nice reef flat. it doesn't look to me like there's that much coral there. and it doesn't come to the surface. does that really do a good job? it can, actually, yes. with the waves you have the kind of circular motion that happens at the top, it causes circular motion all the way down, in a little ellipses down to the sea floor. anything that disrupts that helps to slow down the wave. the problem is thatjust when we need coral to protect from climate change, climate change is killing coral. although corals, much like the trees in the rainforest, are the principal habitat builders of the ecosystem, it you lose the corals, just like if you lose the trees in the rainforest, you end up with no ecosystem. the corals buildin

coordinate or leverage the work with -- opportunities to work with the port which will be emergency seawall rep ardz -- repairs. i want to stress that the projects are not dependent on each other. we can move forward with the embarcadero, even as they work on their own safety projects. it's important to acknowledge leadership, it's worked through obstacles to make sure both streets can be rebuilt faster. supervisors in 3 and 6 have played a role. and the bike coalition has raised their concerns. that's the status update. i think we have a clearer path to get safety improvements on townsend and embarcadero. >> we've heard from you and other elected officials as tom mentioned and we're committed to doing what we can to get safety measures on the ground as quickly as we can and engaging all the relevant stake holders in the process. we'll keep you up to date on those and also what the public comment is on these. a few other quick items. one with regard to shared, powered scooters. we received 12 applications, more than what we were anticipating. so we've been reviewing the 12 applications alon

are these projects so massive -- even like the seawall, we just took a certain part. are these projects so massive financially for the port that you can do a little bit here, do a little bit there, but you just can't do a big, massive thing all at once? is that how it -- >> no, but you can be part of the plan. >> no. i think obviously, you have to have boundaries, and you have to scale to a certain level in order to do all the interagency coordination. but the point that president brandon is making, while there are a lot of efforts south of yslais creek, and many big plans, like india basin as david just pointed out, it's interagency geography that ties it all together. she's calling on why not all of that coordination south of the creek so we can see a port wide or southern waterfront wide approach, and it's a very, very excellent question. but for every initiative, you absolutely have to set a geography in order to be successful in seeing those improvements through. >> any other questions? thank you.

relocation to an island and how that could be problematic due to come even with infrastructure and seawalls, moving 100,000 refugees to an island as we talked about could subject them to flooding during monsoons and high tides. i want to make sure that any repatriation to burma or inside bangladesh is done in a fully voluntary, safe and dignified manner. if confirmed, one of my first trips would be to follow in your footsteps. i would go out to the camps as soon as i got into bangladesh to see the ground truth for myself. >> thank you very much. you mentioned at the island. this is a plan that i understand the government of bangladesh is going forward with. is it my understanding that it is a low-lying island and there is the possibility of flooding during monsoons and the isolation that occurs in that situation -- it sounds like the policy of the u.s. is to discourage the government of bangladesh from proceeding with that effort? >> i checked on that question, senator. the u.s. has not spent any u.s. taxpayer funds building infrastructure or supporting development on that island. it is an

san francisco itself, you know, built a seawall in the late 1800s to protect itself and this new land that had been created. you know, right now, san francisco is looking at spending $5 billion to repair and reinforce that seawall for another century. scholl: the areas that have been the least deveveloped historicay arare the marginal lands around the bay, some of which are salt flats. others are abandoned piers, and they're being rehabilitated because there's basically no place else in the bay area to build, and they're being built upon as quickly as possible by most megacorporations that are trying to maximize their value by building very expensive developments. to me, it feels like sort of climate denial light. we found in 2015 that about $21 billion's worth of development was happening right in that coastal zone. there is a tremendous amount of money to be made to develop in those areas. by the year 2100, we found, there's a threat that sea level rise could, on a really bad day, flood land all around the bay exactly where most of the waterfront development is happening, and then t
