the t.a. provided $10.2 million in obag funds and approximately $400,000 in sales tax dollars to the project. the sfmta anticipates holding an opening event in august so i want to extend my early congratulationss to them. many board members past and present who have lived through a -- again, long, frustrating experience. but the light is finally at the end of the tunnel. and finally after years of design and construction, the trans-b joint powers authority has set a date of august 11 for the grand opening of the sales force transit center. the t.a. has, as we all know, played a very major role in funding and supporting the development of this regional transit center which will house a hub for 11 local and regional transit systems including muni, a.c. transit, sam trans and eventual rail connections for the downtown extension of cal train and high speed rail. the integrated transit center in cal train extension programs is the largest project in the prop-k expenditure plan which designated up to

i know that the t.a. has been undertaking a revamp of the website and i totally agree that highlighting my street s.f. makes great sense in the same way that the planning. departments, property information map is like the go-to thing on that website. i would like to have a robust discussion about whether or not -- and this is, you know, plug your ears, stan, whether or not it makes sense and what are the benefits and detriments of bringing legal functions in house, i.t. functions in house. i do agree that the annual report should show that reconciliation that ms. liu spoke to. with, that why don't i turn it over to staff to hear their response. >> sure. thank you, chair peskin and thank you so much, leanne, and to sjoberg's team for this very helpful review. the process itself provided a lot of insight into even our own staff given they were administering the prop-k program for 30 years. next year is the 30th anniversary and it is gratifying to see that we appear to be delivering on track as promised to th

a second request related to the project is an $854,000 appropriation request from the t.a. to cover some of the additional costs that we incurred in the environmental work. there was additional grounded supervision with fta to finalize the eis document. we are also responding to public records litigation. this work will help us complete the environmental phase for the whole project. both phase i and phase two. the third request is $700,000 from barth to design a multimodal transit hub and public open space at the balboa park station. the plaza includes redesigning the vehicular access to san jose avenue and close vehicular access to geneva avenue, addressing some of the safety concerns there. this would also provide amenities to the public. this has been part of the balboa park's eac work and it is coordinated with s.f. m.t.a. and the san francisco mayor's office of housing and community development. the design would be completed in december 2019 and the plaza would be open for use in december 2021. the fourth request is to design and install conduits for a new intersection.

while there is work happening through the t.a. and through the m.t.a., i think we can bring a unique perspective. i think that there's been some gaps in the city's work. so, first, let me address the gaps. and one of the gaps that my colleague commissioner sandra lee fewer has been working on is taxi drivers and the fact that the industry has been decimated by the t.n.z.s and the fact that many working-class cabdrivers who saved up their entire lives to purchase a medallion and right when they were able to do so and put their life savings into it, hoping that that would give them a secure retirement and profession for the rest of their lives really had the rug, you know, pulled from under them. and are in dire straits right now. and as a matter of fact these drivers come almost every week to the board of supervisors meeting to testify about the desperate situation that they're in and despite supervisor, commissioner fewer's attempts to go to the m.t.a. board an and, u know, to find a resolution so far there's not been one. so if we

in terms of debt reporting, back in november of 2017, eight months ago, we issued the t.a.'s very first sales tax revenue bond. as of the first eight months, we are approximately 43% spent on these bond proceeds. this is healthy for our program and we've been spending them on the five major cash flow projects. there is a document in this packet that lists out how we've been spending these funds over the past eight months. >> thank you, ms. fong. another healthy financial report. any questions or comments from commissioners? seeing none s there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues s there any introduction of new items? seeing none, is there any general -- oh, i'm sorry. commissioner ronen. >> i just wanted to make a motion to excuse supervisor -- >> i was going to get to that in just a moment. apparently, colleagues, commissioner mandelman did not realize that we were having a t.a. meeting today. so, it happens to new commissioners and with that, is there a motion to excuse commissioner mandelman? made by commissioner ronen, secon

the commute patterns? and what are other jurisdictions doing? i will be meeting with t.a. staff in coming days to develop the scope for our study. it's a very broad issue. i would urge your adoption. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, mr. goebel. next speaker, please. >> good morning. thank you, commissioners, for the opportunity to provide public comment. i'm alexa diaz. i'm a summer associate on the environmental equity team at greenlanding institute. i'm in such report of item 9, adopting the report and equitable access. digital divide and digital red lining are used to describe the access across race and class lines. as emerging mobility options grow, limited access to wi-fi and broadband will increasing i will be a significant barrier for low-income people of color, to access emerging mobility and transportation services. while low-income people have access to smart phones, there is affordability and spotty coverage. language can be a significant barrier to using mobile applications. and a lack of familiarity with mobility technologies can limit utilization and make impl

we will work with vision zero to have that for next week for the t.a. hearing. so the overall -- i have been here for about a year, 2017, i looked at and 2018, and, you know, a lot of the causes of the collisions are turning and speed. i understand that you want information in regards to where people are heading to and coming from. that is definitely something that we will look into. because i know that senior centers are definitely one of the subjects that we want to look at as far as the path to that location. so the four seniors that were fatalities this year, one at rice and san jose was a pedestrian crossing in a crosswalk. and it was a pedestrian crossing and struck by a right-turning vehicle. and there was another a cabdriver going straight. and then slow pedestrian crossing and struck in a crosswalk. what we have put in place that is new to our unit is a 72-hour -- 72 hours after the collision that we have a conference call with all of our stakeholders so we can understand what occurred prior and then the cause that we know at that time. so there's a larg

the west side of the island they are, this, again, was part of the initial funding commitment that the t.a. secured from the federal highway bridge program as well as state prop one b., to reconstruct these projects. participation is limited to only those costs that would be ineligible under those other programs, which consisted, primarily, of some of the preliminary engineering and design, now that the project is moving into final design and construction, i will forward to going commitment is quite small. but again this project is planned to begin construction in the summer of 2020 after completion of the initial improvements on the road, and the interchange on southgate, with bi- 80 and be completed in the summer of 2021. which brings us to the discussion. the equipment will be installed concurrent with the roadway and ramp improvements, and will be in place prior to the anticipated first occupancy at the end of 2020. however, rather than juggling the towing equipment through multiple configurations, as the roadways are reconfigured, we don't plan to commence towing operations until the

so we, especially with our partners at the t.a. are making significant investments in the infrastructure today. the subway, the salesforce transit center, gus rapid transit, all of those hopefully will pay climate dividends in the years ahead. we also are making sure that we are providing dedicated red lane priority access for our transit and for our bike community so that they have safe networks to travel between home and work. and we want to make sure that we are creating walkable and livable sidewalk spaces and integrated some of that green infrastructure and sort of that green infrastructure that can make san francisco more resilient in the face of climate impact in the years ahead. we also want to use some policy levers like pricing when we encourage people to shift to different modes. and our own sf park program as we're expanding right now, this is looking at how do we price the curve to really try to drive some change in travel behavior. so that concludes my presentation, and i'm happy to take questions at the end of everyon

major catalyst or the technicals that started acting >> well, over the weekend there were quite a lot of folks that were talking about t.a. and the potential formation of inversed head and shoulders or a buyout so it sounds like the technicals were starting to become more favorable. i think something like the mastercard news is positive or the block-chain based money ask a valid form of transaction. in japan they've taken a much more positive view on digital money or block chain-based money being real transaction so yes, it's good news >> when you outlined those times when bitcoin was trading below the 200 of day moving average. what was the average move higher toward the next plateau? >> one more thing we outlined if you looked at your probability making money six months out. it was close to 100% in other words, if you every buy it below the moving average, you almost always saw good risk reward being long. >> at what point how long did you have to wait for that trade in the early part of this ascension you could have sat under water. >> so i'm saying it's six months if you said buy it and sell it six months later your

the tolls at this point. as of right now, there is no e. e.e. t.a. of reopening the bridge. >> that is a rough morning for those folks. >> all right. 6:09 for you, and today on the bay, we are replacing toys "r" us as a retail giant is trying to fill the void left by the popular toy chain. >> later, out of control, the new wildfire is raging in colorado as the crews are battling another fire that is now one of the largest in that state's history. you are watching today in the bay. >>> state health code allows the restaurants 30 minutes to transport food in vehicles without coolers or refrigerator and we went undercover to find that some restaurants are taking risky shortcuts with your sa safety. how dangerous is this for the public to eat the food that is transported this way? >> thousands of people who potentially die of food borne illness every year. >> a risk that goes up when the food is not kept at the right temperature. the meat has been in your truck for four hours. are you worried that people could get sick from eating that food? >> yes, i do.

. >> hi, i've been a student at the youth art exchange, and a t.a., and youth board member. craving space and direction for ideas and emotion. i go to lowell, crazy stressful all the time and it's a creative outlet for my peers and i as we struggle to juggle our own things and express ourselves. it is critical that the city of san francisco increased funding for the youth art exchange. the community and the public high school students of today and tomorrow don't have to lose the engaging and empowering community of students, artists and activists that the youth art exchange has. thank you. >> excellent. thank you. >> good morning, everyone. dayton andrews, speak on the healthy streets operating center. separating center is hoping to expand by 95 officers, to cut that funding and redirect it to the mental health services. right now, all calls are being rerouted through the operations center. it's inappropriate. we are trying to direct folks and the services don't exist yet and we need to invest that funding elsewhere. thank you so much. >> hi, i'm flo kelly, and i'm a voluntee

before the mo recent controversies emerged, which included allegations that pruitt asked an aide to find a high-paying job for s wife. pruitt was under at least a ezen federal investigations-- by t.a.'s inspector general, by congress, and the white house-- over questions of extravagant spendingrity practices and potential conflicts of interest and abuse of power. one probe is looking into ho a pruitt secur50-per-night deal on a bedroom in a capitol hill condoo-owned by the wife of an energy industry lobbyist. he drew scruti for luxury travel during his first year in office, with trips totaling over $100,000, including many first- class flights. pruitt also was criticized for giving some of his aides unauthorized pay raises, which pruitt initially denied. >> i found out this yesterday and i corrected the action, and we are in the process of finding out how it took place and correcting i >> brangham: when some staff at the e.p.a. questioned his practices, pruitt allegedly retaliating against them with demotions and reassignments. in congressional testimony this spring, pruitt pushed back against his critics. t se who have attacked the e.p.a. and attacked me are doing so because they

the planet about his huge new movie. tonight, it's mission accomplished. >> announcer: news4 begins with t.a storm team4 weather al >>> weather advisories arect in efight now, and that leads to flooding concerns for your monday. good eveng. i'm erika gonzalez. you can see just how much of our area is being impactedy this. we are in weather alert mode, and storm team4 meteorologist somara theodore is looking ahead to tomorrow. somara. >> yes, i am tracking our next chans for rain. with the saturation we received this weekend, flooding to be a major concern for your monday afternoon. .or now, we've still got rain in the ar even though this is the last of it, this was some heavy showers. i saw you guys on twitter. twitter was lighting up about the lightning and the thunder, just how crazy it was in areas like montgomery county all the way up into howard. let's zoom in and take a look. you can see the deep reds. at's some heavy showers right now. this has a northward pull, g to continue to make its wayut f montgomery county into houred, impacting careful. after that, we're going to dry things out tonight, but we still do have the

the interim. with that, i just wanted to again thank you and that's all. >> supervisor a. peskin: supervisor yee? > supervisor n. yee: thank you. i want to also thank commissioner, t.a. commissioner cohen, supervisor cohen, chair cohen, president cohen. i have to also join the chorus of having an open process during the budget process. i think we had very good debates during the process and sometimes we had to give, sometimes we win some. i thought it was well-run. san francisco police budget, one of these things i lost some arguments there. again, it's all about give and take. and the nice thing about the issues i raised with the staffing saying how can we get police officers on the street faster and people didn't buy the argument at the time but the nice thing is we didn't just leave it. we agreed the controller's office should look at the 6-8 officers that could be civilianized which would quickly then have police officers on the street rather than sitting behind a desk. hopefully that study will come soon so we can actually continue having a discussion around that particular issue. i want to thank also ben rosenfield's office, harvey and severin of b.l.a. and jon
