. >> thank you john with the san francisco traffic association. i've been saying that the san francisco couldn't be more incriminated but now we've seen this we're even more incriminated. we see that will create more traffic opportunity. we know that the traffic continues to be vital to the san francisco prosperity and in 2012 tourists spent $5 million and contributed $600 million to the sfolg san francisco. the largest gap we have here in san francisco are the thinking door facilities are not there. we need a indoor space that can seat 16 thousand more if we build it they will come. and 4 had percent said they would definitely use it for things as general concessions performances and concerts. we know it creates opportunity for public access to water front and assesses safety for the public and to explore bicycle and pedestrian enhancement. >> good afternoon i've janet. i live in the mission and i constituent regularly through that area so i'm sensitive to the transportation issues i take the 10, the till, the tea line, i go out on others areas. i

the residential owners association and their appellant renter suggested with regardion to the traffic and circulation impacts there were inaccurate assumptions, that the analysis didn't account for vehicle delays resulting from an increased in pedestrian volumes. could you, and i read the planning department's response to that and essentially seems to indicate that these questions were raised before and essentially asked and answered, but could you address those points and why you don't think there are traffic and circulation impact issues that we should consider? >> so gregory, transportation planner. i really enjoy when i come to talk about the traffic analysis and critical movement. we have it all written up thoroughly in the response to comments in terms of how we did the analysis and the appellant's requested how we determined the critical movements and we feel strongly we did it correctly. so we stand behind that analysis. in terms of what exactly is los? we make assumptions of how cars are going to get to the site and how they leave the site. especially in terms of the critical

neighborhood who believe that it is highly inappropriate to allow outdoor concerts with associated loud noise and traffic congestion to occur so close to a significant residential area. this occurrence degrades our environment. reduces our property values, and is a disservice to law abiding and tax paying citizens of our wonderful city. if the appeals board member is the place to consider this, they would be most unhappy if they lived in our neighborhood. however, if the political pressure is so great that the appeals board cannot act, then they should know that our neighborhood is concerned that the stadium will become a permanent venue for future concerts and events. somehow we ask that this permit, if it is allowed, to make it the enforceable condition that the stadium structure and the associated 120 port-a-potties is to be dismantled and removed from the pier 27 grounds no later than october 31st, 2013. and further, that the granting of this permit is a one-time condition and extension should not be granted. we also ask that the truck movement involved in the daily servicing of the 120 port-a-pottie

the main argument seems to be the e-i-r conservatively found noise associated with amplified music and traffic impacts as a whole could be significant even after implementation of mitigation measures. but the city has implicitly made findings set forth in the police code that require rejection of the place of entertainment permit. appellants could be tend the commission had no choice but to deny the permit. but appellants are doing is confusing two different standards. ~ contend the standard of citi qua significance is different than the standard under the police code. ~ c-e-q-a there is nothing in the police code that indicates the entertainment commission can impliedly make findings. just the contrary is true under the police code. the commission must issue a permit unless it expressly makes findings that the standards cannot be met. under section 1060.5 of the police code, the standard for rejection of a permit for noise is as follows. that the noise would "substantially interfere with the public health, safety, and welfare or the peaceful enjilt of neighboring properties." in contrast unde

"housing seems to the bright spot in the economy right now, and even the fed will admit to that. if we're going to see things remain at current growth levels for the real estate market, that would certainly bode well for the economy in general. but i think the fed is holding pat right now, because it needs to see continued improvement, and more substantial improvement, in the jobs market." though the commerce department showed housing starts down in april, housing permits for future construction were up more than 14%. that means demand may have finally reached a point at which its convinced builders that buyers are back. thousands of innovative new tools are coming onto the market to spruce up your home. bill moller gives a glimpse at the the 68th annual hardware show. more than 27,000 industry professionals came to the national hardware show this year. sure, there's the latest in mundane things like painter's tape and the new- fangled hose with the quick change super nozzle. but what

meanwhile, the international air transport association has been pushing through innovative measures to help trafficoss the industry and improve airport efficiency. the man who led that charge for years is the former director general and the ceo geovani. good to see you. still, you're looking at the industry from a broad perspective. how do you see passenger growth at the moment? >> i'm very optimistic. this year, we would have $10 billion of profit, one to six margin, 3 billion passengers. but the most important thing is the traffic. passenger side, fast descent. but if we analyze this number, we have 16% growth in domestic china. this means that the chinese engine has started not just from the domestic market, but also in exports. the other very important number, 2.7. after two years of negative number, we're starting to see some blue skies. >> how do we know that the growth is going to continue? you talk about china. how do we know that it won't plateau earlier than maybe what we are hoping? >> because why? because we will present 40% of the total trade involved. so you will see a growth steady a

wait times and the associated delays of commercial pat -- passenger traffic are a serious inhibitor of economic growth. second, it would serve as a downpayment toward improving operations at the ports. my amendment would require an essential 5000 -- an additional 5000 streamline the process for those seeking the demint trade through our ports. these are dual-use personnel. the risk for economic analysis of terrorism completed a study last month that said the addition of just one cbp officer adds $2,000 to u.s. gdp and saves times and creates jobs because of the benefit of facilitating bilateral trade. border coalition believes and estimates an additional 5000 cbp officers would result in a $1 billion net increase in our national g.d.p. this provides investments in next-generation technology and advanced communication to assure all tools are utilized in pursuit of greater part safety and security. this does provide a full off set of all of these emergency resources and i am confident that a dynamics corp. by the cbo will correctly consider the potential economic benefits of strengthenin
