it should minimize the traffic on the embarcadero and along the site and allow minimal access along the embarcadero. i will briefly summarize the port directions as well. drawing their inspiration or direction from the water land use plan showing some of the major goals for the land use plan in this part of the waterfront and activities to make it inviting and safe, improving the rincon neighborhoods and mission bay and south beach. taking advantage of downtown san francisco by providing attractions to the general public while respecting the needs of the residents. establish high design standards in new development that give ride architectural identity for the shoreline and improvement that extend through the area and provide pedestrian connections between different portions of the downtown. i will close with a picture of the what are -- wharf. i will introduce craig [inaudible] who you will give an overview of the site today. >> thank you. >> this one or this one? i guess it's this one. >> closer to -- >>i would like to use this. >> that's fine. >> thank you. good afternoon commissione

>> the structures that face the embarcadero and no higher and general width and dimension of the existing embarcadero structures. those are the only two significant features on the arena side. on the sea wall side there is currently shown a podium and 40 feet and that is equivalent to the lowest surrounding buildings to the south. above that and that's the reason why we have proposed the two type structures to get as much into them as possible to keep the podium as low as possible. we understand it's an interesting idea and people have issues and we are looking at that concept. >> it's like glazing and looks irresdescent and like munich and what is that appearance? >> the building will be approximately 50% glass where the areas of visitors will be. much of the arena at the highest systems and mechanical structures are not glass and some type of metal and we're still evaluating that and there will be a fair amount of glass so you have direct view to the area and the exterior of the building. it's not meant to be -- and some people are saying birds will fly in and we are aware of those issu

maintaining the embarcadero station is critical to the san francisco downtown and waterfront region. the system of reliability was raised during the study interview with pg&e in november 2011 and pg&e followed up with the council getting support to ada third connection to the embarcadero station with this going to the portero substation and improve system reliability particularly into the downtown area in a major earthquake and allow pg&e more flexibility with work and unexpected equipment outages. they gave three routes and options to provide feedback and you can see from the box, the green, red and blue routes so pg&e is continuing to work with the city and the project design and the approval process and hopes to begin work in 2014 or 2015. so looking ahead we will be completing the life line interdependences study in 2013. we are also in the process of developing a work program then. in the last meeting in september we asked participants to identify issues to all operators and for the city to develop the restoration plan and performance expectations, restoration priority and capab
