. >> the analysis did look at the sf moma expansion is occurring >> did you look at the new meterone project? >> i'm sorry >> it's the same building, but it's been reconceptualized and it's great and, by the way, it looks wonderful and it's attracting a new volume of pedestrians, particularly with it being the only target in the city. and also the westfield mall. >> yes. i am going to ask that greg reiskin, the transportation planner address this. >> good evening, members of the board, greg reiskin, transportation planner for the project and we did look for a qualitative assessment. so we did look at the meterone, because when we established preparation for this project, the meterone was existing at that time. the target was not in there at that time. so that was not part of the cumulatives because it wasn't in the nop right? my apologies it was in there. the target was in there, yes >> could you talk a little bit how you established the base line, the pedestrian activity? >> yes, so as my colleague deborah was saying that we look at typical pedestrian activities and a number of quest

so we did look at the meterone, because when we established preparation for this project, the meterone was existing at that time. the target was not in there at that time. so that was not part of the cumulatives because it wasn't in the nop right? my apologies it was in there. the target was in there, yes >> could you talk a little bit how you established the base line, the pedestrian activity? >> yes, so as my colleague deborah was saying that we look at typical pedestrian activities and a number of questions were raised why don't you look at a peak event during moscone and why isn't that the baseline? the reason for that we look at typical conditions and not maximums. any analysis we're looking at peak representative conditions. so typically, in the case of this project that would be the pm peak hour during the week day. because that is the peak of activity time in the downtown area. >> i believe that you looked at both midday and peak pm. >> yes. so for pedestrian condition we also look at midday -because people go to lunch. >> why do we not study the weekend because this project in

given the fact that this neighborhood is not just a monday-through friday neighborhood with the target meterone and weekend spaces? >> thank you, supervisor. because of the different events and festivals that are very different from each other. there are times peak impacts are differing tremendously. sometime it's midday. some are weekend events. assuming that the p.m. rush hour time is when the bigest impact happens is certainly wrong. and developing a mitigation plan where where the park system, that the ways of getting around can actually handle that peak load. we don't have it today. there is not the capacity of the sidewalks today to handle the peak loads. we have crush conditions that our seniors simply cannot leave their homes. >> and my last question and i am not sure if this is a we did for you or miss brandt-hawley, but i'm curious maybe in terms of the current levels of what we see, versus projects in the area. i am just wondering, first of all, your thoughts on that, on that kind of interpretation ever state law that we have here locally. and in terms of municipalities. >> thank you
