that will explain. >> in terms of the tep i think the placeholder is essential. the tp under eir is about six months under schedule. it is a big undertaking, something we are very supportive of. but one of the messages to the voters was we want to deliver the projects. if they are ready to go, they are funded first. there are strict projects on the line. if like in prop k if we have programs in the fifth year and the sponsor doesn't come in the board can say you have a good story, we will let your funds rollover or could program them to other eligibility projects ready to go. the timing is also very good. we are about to embark this year on an update of the five-year priorityization programs, covering fiscal year 14-15, the next five. that is picking up the tail of prop a. we will be able to complement in two categories, the biggest opportunity are the rt, tps category and prop k where we can have the ability to advance a lot of funds if there are projects ready to go. same thing on street repair. may be able to advance funds to backfill the projects. >> thank yo

as the tep eir completes we will determine if it will be a multiyer project start up basis. last slide, as maria mentioned, this is informational and when we come back to the committees with the plan. full plan and allocations as action items. with that i can take questions. we have a few sponsors who submitted to prop aa if you have project specific questions. >> thank you for your presentation. it was pretty quick. trying to sift through a lot of information here. on pedestrian safety items before us, how much are these linked -- three sources linked to actual areas that are of high concern. >> the one we looked at was through the priorityization criteria specific to that category. we give priority to projects identified the through the walk first effort, or that may be identified as corridors, projects or inter dictions through successor efforts, given what they have given consideration to date. >> i'm looking at this chart. these are total funds we are talking about in terms of fiscal year 2012-2013. part is double a funds. we don't have that much funds that are here. >>

it's perhaps one of our first pilots of the tep, a good -- kind of a good segway from the church and pebost rail project which was also about rail reliability primarily to further improve service through that area. so pleased to see that moving forward. and that concludes my report. >> thank you, director reiskin. members of board, comments? >> i had the pleasure of attending community meetings for the tep pilot project and i just wanted to say that the staff did a really good job presenting the pilot program to the community that was there and substance keptly i just heard a lot of really great things from people who use that corridor, transit riders, bikes, pedestrians.

and, so, this effort is coordinating with tep's effort to change the bus stop along 19th avenue and our project, we're taking care of the caltrans clearance that's needed to make those changes. we believe that this phase will be concluded around december 2013. we understand that the current tep schedules summer fall 2013 to come to the end of their environmental process. we will try and dovetail and make sure we're ready to move forward in lockstep when that project moves forward. the last study i'll talk about that we're heavily involved in in this area is the balboa park station area recreation study that came up before. i think it's on people's minds. understandably, the station is one of the busiest stations in san francisco. it's often the busiest bart station outside of downtown san francisco. it's got three light rail lanes, notable bus lines. and there are currently some issues with pedestrian access and transit op -- operations at the station. there have been previous efforts to look at improving the station and there are improvements that are on the way. some improvements that

many of us who go to that club are not tep tennis players.we pay $145, which by the way is less than the cost of going to the public pool in north beach every day. let me repeat that. if i were to go swimming every day in north beach i would be paying more money, i would have less access to the water. but let's not talk about somebody my age, 52. let's talk about all of us as we age. this city has an aging in place policy. i work with seniors. they provide the heart, memory and culture of so much of the city, so much of the communities that we want to honor. and the people who are seniors use that pool. they don't use the tennis courts. and as i get older i'm going to use that pool. it's a rare day i go to that pool and don't find someone next to me spimming who is over 80 years old. is that person's life less valuable than somebody who wants to get a big project. we have that community, please keep it intacts. thank you. >> president chiu: next speaker please. sir, you can use either microphone. >> tom gilberti, 2,000 -- apartments. height d

tep will stay below normal -- temperatures will stay below normal. it looks to be sunny and breezy today. still some 40s holding on. up every 40s around san jose. livermore at 47 this morning. we still have a little bit of a sea breeze and if there's no breeze some patchy fog. the highs below average. now 6 #0 0s and 70s or very, very low 80s, 81, 82, 83 but with the breeze and high pressure there's a low that's going to go up to the oregon coast an drive down. the question is when will it do that? probably late saturday into sunday. it will still be breezy today. the low is controlling our weather. breezy to windy at times. more sunshine today by the coast than they've seen in a while. inland temperatures mainly in the upper 70s. clear lake 35 this morning. much can be same for areas in other parts of the cities. concord 77, low 80s pittsburgh, alameda 65, 73 san jose. that's about 10 degrees beblow -- below average for this time of year. even with sun it won't be that warm. low 70s on the shore. a little warmer inland on friday. some of that fog wi

concerns over the tep id response by the new regime in egypt. >> i don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy. >> we're covering every angle of this developing story. first, let's take a step back and look at how things have unfolded over the past 48 hours. the outrage first ignited tuesday in egypt. protesters converged on the embassy. within hours, crowds gathered outside benghazi, libya. armed militants killed the u.s. ambassador and three of the staffers. today, crowds storm the u.s. embassy in yemen. riot police eventually turned them back with tear gas. also today, demonstrators turn out in iran. they aamass outside the swiss embassy, which represents u.s. interests in iran. let's get the latest now from that region. mohammed jamjoon join us. >> about 2,000 to 3,000 protesters that were marching toward the u.s. embassy, many of them aable to get close enough to the main gates. they started scaling the walls. fires were set outside the u.s. embassy compound. i've spoken to a western diplomat there who tells me everyone in the embassy is f
