minutes or every 20 minutes, so one of the things that i would propose today is that we have the sf mta change the keep schedule to make it an even 10 minutes, so the people understand when the trains are coming, because by scheduling a the way that we did, we did in the hopes of balancing the throughput, but at the same time, i think it has caused some public confusion and caused a lot of public complaints about there is no j here, so that scheduling makes it unique. and then you went through that rich history of this blind. part of the terrain and typography of the neighborhoods that it goes through limits us to one car. we can only run several cars on the j libn -- line, and in this line, we have to add another car and an operator. so just a couple of points i wanted to make on the profile of this j line as we go forward, just building on the some of the characteristics that we talked about, the same challenges online in terms of congested area, a lot of pedestrian, a lot of retail, and some of the delay information, this is over about a 6 period, and about two-thirds of the delay is

finally, there is also a net positive impact on the sf mta, both during construction and during the buildout. there are those costs in the fiscal analysis that we were dealt extensively with the finance staff, the mta, and others. finally, the economic impact. the first section was focusing on the general fund. the second section is speaking broadly on the general impacts for the city. this is also a $7 billion project. this would over the life of the project support almost 35,000 construction jobs, and that is a pretty significant economic stimulus in the city a time when we are suffering record unin play. of course, this would be over 20 to 30 years. and then, finally, note we anticipate once construction is complete that there'd be a permanent $300 million annually of economic activity generated for business, retail, and the employees, and that would support about 1600 permanent jobs. i am moving on, and i apologize we are going so quickly. a lot of questions yet been raised about the phasing of this project. there are four levels of the approvals that this creates. the force level we cal

once again thank you for the leadership at sf-mta and your board's leadership at launching this program. how many of you have been dumb in your past? how many you have acted dumb? i have. when you're driving around looking for a parking space and you're double parking and you're running around trying to see whether or not something will open, you're dumb. because the reality of it is you're increasing the carbon emissions, you're blocking traffic, you're doing all the dumb things we all hate but we've all been there. i've been there. i have to admit, i've donna. and i want to get smarter at it. and i know working the city, being a resident of the city, we're a much more enlightened city for the rest of the world to look at, we want to be less dumb about it. that's why i'm so grateful to launch our pilot frahm of s.f. park. that's going to be our san francisco version of congestion pricing. right to the meter. right to the parking spaces. and for some time now i've been absorbing what are all of these little markers going around and being placed in all of these parking spaces. oh, they'r

sf park program is and, you know, where it is. we've had a presentation anywhere from eight months to a year ago when it was first implemented. the second is probably to have an mta representative to deal with the meters different from sf park. commissioner clyde: i want to bring of the health department and the site and requirements. there is a new sign that is being passed around and required to be posted about no dogs in a food facility. i like to talk them -- and talk to them about their site requirements. where they are required to be posted and why? the front door of my business is looking pretty jammed with no 21, no smoking, now no dogs. and there are dogs except service animals, documentation, can we ask for documentation? i would like to hear from them again in a future meeting about their signage guidelines and requirements. are they really necessary there? is it a staff training issue? [talking over each other] president o'brien: i've mentioned before, but the impact fee we talked about before. i mentioned the possibility of someone selling an apartment or a house or something without having to pay quite a considerable feat associated with the transfe

sf park program. scott wiener and members of the mta board were also at the event which marks the culmination of a four-year process to bring real time parking information to san francisco. it was a great event recognized by the press around country as a major milestone in terms of how technology can structure solutions for common urban problems like finding curbside parking. the entire demonstration was funded with $20 million of urban partnership money which this authority was able to obtain from the federal government in 2007 as part of the negotiations over the funding plan for doral drive, now presidio parkway, which at the time included a proposal. the proposal was a forward- looking idea and this is a forward-looking program, which is now on the run for san franciscans to use on a daily basis to help us perfect. in a few months, there will also be very impressed and components to the program. congratulations to our mta for getting the project on the ground after four years of development, and to this authority, for having the program funding at a time when the local jurisdiction in the country would

mta. they had a private to do some capital improvements around sf community school. we did a street banner campaign, blanketing the excelsior up and down. supervisor avalos: i thought it was all over the city. i live in the excelsior, and i assumed it was everywhere. >> we started the seven years ago in the mission district and tenderloin. it was so popularly received, as grant funds come in, we try to rule that out, but again, as funds become available, it is not a consistent, persistent effort. supervisor avalos: i liked the banners. >> thank you. >> in terms of the other ongoing projects, we are working to improve the pedestrian mall that i approved -- described earlier. right now, it is on census tract level, so we are hoping to modify it more on the intersection level. this is using current best practices from the highway -- federal highway administration. we have also developed and applied and environmental quality index which considers over 30 factors at st. and intersection level. we can use it to assess the quality of the pedestrian environment. we are curre
