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. >>

specific or mode specific transportation plans that are developed by metro strategy, mta, capital plan, the tepthese priorities are drawn into and considered in the san francisco transportation plan and then sftp informs the updates to those plans. for instance, the planning department will update the general plan transportation element after the adoption of the sftp next spring. the climate action plan, for instance, was developed in collaboration between the city and the transportation authority as part of our needs assessment or future needs assessment, what it will take to achieve.

that are developed by metro strategy, mta, capital plan, the tep. these priorities are drawn into and considered in the san francisco transportation plan and then sftp informs the updates to those plans. for instance, the planning department will update the general plan transportation element after the adoption of the sftp next spring. the climate action plan, for instance, was developed in collaboration between the city and the transportation authority as part of our needs assessment or future needs assessment, what it will take to achieve. our gas and reduction goals. so, the region is very dependent on san francisco to address a significant part of the region's growth and transportation challenge. so, we need to determine how to manage these 400,000 plus new daily auto trips. we know that there is not much low-hanging fruit. everything involves a trade-off. and that we need to do things differently to meet this challenge. we know that also that a lot of the growth in san francisco is going to happen in the city's core, the soma, the mission bay, a

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 have already been done, such as the west side walkway project. and more that are on the way. but there is still room for improvement. this study, the circulation study that we are managing, is looking at ways to improve the overall circulation of the area. we

the audit has control of the funds and working on tep. as the preferred avenue for service. the jury appreciates muni's response. next is train staff for controlled center. muni says staffing is under way for fiscal year 2013 to be completed by the end of the fiscal year and new communications expected in 2015. the jury expects muni's response and the final recommendation is monthly surveys. muni disagrees with the monthly part. they say that are conducting quarterly surveys and will conduct annual survey and perform on board passenger survey in early 2013. the results will be on the muni website. the jury agrees that quarterly surveys would be sufficient and applauds the commitment of muni. we urge miewn tow include questions about switch backs and other service disruptions to address whether muni is in chapt charter requirements with a reliable and transportation system. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. that's the end our report we urge you to accept our findings and recommendations. thank you very much. >> thank you very much for your time and effort on this. i appre

they try to make the morning and evening news so they can have an impression because people only believe half of what they see in tv ads. >> joe, what do you think? yesterday julian tepthe financial times was on and she was talking about $500 million still that's left to spend on negative ads. do you think that that could have a big impact with the final 32 days of this campaign? >> well, i do. this is going to be a very, very tight race, as you can see. i think the numbers -- the next polling numbers that come out will show the race is tightening. there will be a real fight for the undecideds. part of the way you win the fight is you at the them what you're going to do but you also have to beat up the other guy. that's part of the sad reality of presidential politics. money is going to play an important factor coming up. >> i'm going to disagree with joe a little bit. i don't think there are that many undecideds and, second, i don't know that the numbers are going to move that much. i think the issues driving this campaign, the 47% remark by mitt romney, the medicare plan by paul ryan, those things haven't really changed very much and even some of the issues around

the door open. it went on of a public tep tans of a acceptance to hang together. romney jumps on the president. no sense we're in this together. or wait until we find out what happened before we cross swords. in terms of political tactics we have lost that wonderful con sen sis. after a crisis or a tragedy, let's hang together for a few days and weeks before we cross swords again. he's given up on that idea of bipartisanship in spirit. in terms of foreign policy, i believe there's an opening distance between these two men. in bringing back most of the people like john bolden and many of these people and working for him in the campaign, he's reminded us of the thinking that the people around him were able to instill with george bush back then in the days of 9/11. so there's a real choice. a choice between obama's rejoining of the world community in trying to bring down terrorism and the old cowboy spirit of the united states against the world, which w. represented. so in that case, there's a real division. >> chris, thank you very much. tonight's debate will focus on foreign policy. like the pre

. >> just the last few weeks, lance armstrong has lost endorsements,tepped down from his live strong charity, and now he's been stripped of his seven tour de france titles that made him a legend. the international cycling union has accepted the report on armstrong, which bans the cyclist from the tour for life. they say his vacated titles should not be given to other riders. the agency's 200-page report says there's overwhelming evidence of widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs. armstrong decided to stop fighting the allegations in august. >> as a cyclist, i was sickened by what i read in the report. if i have to apologize now on behalf, i will say i am sorry we couldn't catch every damn one of them red handed and throw them out of the sport. lance armstrong has no place in cycling so he deserves to be out. >> the committee could strip him of his bronze medal. they will meet to talk more about this particular report, what can be learned and what policy changing can be made. >>> a man is in critical condition after falling more than 20 feet from an escalator at metlife stadium

adding insult to injury it wasn't midpoint in the investigation that we came across a statement from them and tep and transit effective project and shared with us and compleated in 2008 and list of solutions similar to those proposed by transportation consultants with whom we spoke.
