the next motion has to do with the tep again. cac recommends that a higher ridership line be chosen for the next tep pilot project. this next motion those do with sidewalk parking and infringement by parked cars on the sidewalk. the mta cac recommends that sidewalk parking laws be enforced not just against cars that leave less than 4' of travel room for pedestrians, but for any car being more than 1' into the sidewalk. the next long motion concerns operator training. cac recommends that the agency expand its operator training capacity in order to meet the long-term operator needs of the agency. even to the understood short-term detriment to service that might result from shifting personnel from operator to trainer positions. the cac recommends the agency make adoption of polices and systems to decrease trainee washout rates a higher priority. the cac recommends the agency investigate whether simulator training would be cost-effective and whether purchasing simulator equipment in conjunction with other transit agencies in the regio

we will invest in the top projects that have gotten a lot of development so far, the tep, geary brt and with the rest of the funds focus on sogr operations and maintenance. >> [inaudible] >> state of good repair. >> state of good repair. >> yes. and that includes the repair of both the transit system and the street network so transit, capital, the vehicles, the overhead trolley wires, keeping them in repair as well as pot holes and street reconstruction. >> thank you. >> so then another way of thinking about it this line, row is called the public input, and what this scenario does is generally reflect the priorities that we have heard as we have done outreach on the sftp and that is a lot of interest in transit operations and maintenance, and then a lot of interest in programs, especially in traffic calming, bike and pedestrian programs, and that would be the focus for a scenario like that. we are just at the beginning stages of thinking about how financially constrained investment scenario would be structured, and so we know we will have further information items on this topic and furt

increased crowding and we know that there's crowding today on our system and without investment in the fleet plan, tep, without increasing in capacity that crowding will increase especially on the eastern and the southeastern parts of the network where so much of the new employment and housing is expected. and then finally the equity lens. we know that there are some neighborhoods in san francisco that experience some of these system performance problems more acutely than others, and we can break the summaries down that way to identify those neighborhoods. this picture is an example of that. it shows how many transfers on average a transit rider needs to make depending on the neighborhood, the origin of their trip, and there are certain parts of the city taking a transit trip requires many more transfers than other places. mta's recently pedestrian sector work and area sector work has identified the top needs for the modes and we can draw from that work as we develop the investment scenarios. the map is from the mta's bicycle strategy and even though on average the bike mode share per trip is two half

it doesn't include additional trains or improvements to the trains. >> the capital stuff is within the tep and that's why these projects are not in there. they're more for the customer experience and why it's customer first projects and colorize a lane helps enforcement and in that area and the only one that allows left turns and you're allowed to enter that and we see cars encroaching it and slowing down the trains and we hope that colorizing will cut down on the tactics by automobiles and improve the look and feel of the system and our high travel corridorred. >> how do you enjoy the look or feel if the train is over crowded or if you can't get on the train or there are empty trains out of service and constantly passing you by and you're late to work. i am trying to understand. i am going by what i am experiencing and what the complaints that i am getting from the people who ride the n judah in my district and the continual problems in the peak times in the morning. it's a real problem and when i think how we spent money in the city and what we should be focused on i think about addition

i move for this positive, and i think that this is a terrific project and fits in nicely with the tep evaluating the consolidation or moving of the bus stops is critical part throughout the city. if we really want to get muni moving faster and get people where they are going faster, we have to take a hard look at where our bus stops are located, what they are located in the right position and whether, making some changes will speed up muni, it is really a critical part of the transit effectiveness part of the project, and bulb outs are important particularly when i am seeing the senior disabled people and people who are moving slowly, shortening the crossing distance has a disproportionately at the people that are moving at a smaller speeds and i recommend that we move it with a positive recommendation. >> there is a motion to move it forward with a positive recommendation. commissioner chiu, with a positive recommendation, madam clear, could you call item number four? >> item number four, recommend approval of the 2013 state afederal legive program. good morning, this item begins on

contract up to 980 thousand 800 dollars 25 cents, the additional services being provided by 4 leaf and their sub consultants essentially revolve around two ie tep, the first and the majority which is related to monitoring and permitting oversight for the contaminated sediments that were uncovered during the course of the project. we asked 4 leaf to bring on a sub consultant that specializes in this sort of permitting and oversight, baoud row and associates, as well as their sub consultants that perform specialized engineering services and surveying for that work. the other item which we've asked 4 leaf to do on our behalf is to be on-site for an additional 88 days, this is as a result of our contract that was approved by this commission. overall, with this amendment, the total contract value only represents 4.4% of the total contract value. this is extremely low. this is the effective the and efficient contract and we typically budget 10% for cm services so i think this is really reasonable and i want to thank 4 leaf on behalf of the department for their good work on this project. with that, i conclude my presentation and i'd be happy to answer

there was a tremendous amount of liquid that came up from the south and when you do a tep to 1 ratio, are going to get snow amounts that are, you know, if you get three inches of liquid thirty inches of snow basically. >> that's what happened. this is a monster storm. a lot of comparesons to 1978. there were some similarities some differences, but the big area that got hit. about 30 or 40 inches below. >> why did new york city not get hammered as they expected? >> the storm was there are you don't bands, snow events that could take place way away from the actual center of the storm. where these are set up are difficult to forecast ahead of time. when they set up, you could make a difference of 10, 15 inches of snow to down the road to 50 to 100 miles where they don't get as much. the snow bands did not set up over new york city directly but they were very close, very close to the city. >> so the biggest concentration was accumulation rather was in west haven, connecticut. right? >> around hamden new haven. there were reports from anywhere from 34 to 40. if you were on the west side bu
