it is about what is underground. we know undergrounding are not immune to weather. i will tell you when you underground lines in minnesota, they have problems with gophers. they actually had a gopher guy that does gopher surveys to make sure their underground lines stay safe. i don't think we have gophers here in san francisco, but we have -- and that's what i mean by -- when you talk about the geographic difference, what is it that affects with what goes above ground and below ground. so we also know that underground lines, when they do get affected like in an earthquake, they do take longer to repair. when you look at a situation like all of the underground transmission lines we have in san francisco, if there was to be an earthquake, the earth shifts, breaks those lines, it will take a long time to bring those lines back up. we have made -- we have taken measures to mitigate for that just so you guys know. i don't want you to think that pg & e is worried about the underground lines. we have a warehouse next to our martin station that has all your transmission lin

an interim solution prior to undergrounding is obvious to me. telecom -- [ indiscernible ] -- [microphone not activated]. >> clerk: the speaker's time is concluded. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. thank you for having this hearing. my name is mark snider. i'm a resident of district 8 and a member of the san francisco coalition of underground utilities steering committee. we're a city at risk for earthquakes, and a strong earthquake will certainly topple utility poles. residents and tourists alike will risk injury and death from falling poles, but the wires on the street will also present a risk in that fire and emergency vehicles will not cross wires that they cannot pass without -- knowing that they're safe to pass. the solution clearly is undergrounding. it's not rocket science, but it does involve engineering. there are some updates in a localization of underground facilities and utilities, and there are also updates in creating conduits without trenching. both of these

safety is increased when you put it underground. overall, quality of life is enjoyed when it's put underground. so i think there's some good points made today. i think we should further in conversation and bring folks back, but i want to voice that today >> supervisor fewer: i think it's exploring our jurisdiction of the lines, not so much the poles, but the lines also. >> supervisor walton: i think it's interesting that cpuc hasn't conducted a study of whether or not underground is safer. but yet we have new developments that are required to use underground utilities. it's interesting and we will have further conversations of course to understand how that could be the case in this point. to your point, supervisor, i want to thank you and supervisor stefani for calling this hearing today. this is happening in other cities. it's definitely happening on new developments right here in san francisco. so we're going to continue to work hard to make this a reality, and you have a commitment from us to do that, which is why we're here havi

public underground actually lie overg round ? this public underground actually lie overground?rld, real looking rising temperatures and how they impact how we live, work and travel. i am inside what will be, when completed, the world's told us modular tower block, earlier we look to some of the materials used in this tower block, but now john the materials used in this tower block, but nowjohn willjoin us again to explain a little bit about the concept. john, tell me about this off—site manufacturing process of this modular build. off-site manufacturing is what we do in our bedford factory, we use conventional building materials and assemble them ina building materials and assemble them in a factory environment, and on the carousel that moves around a factory, so we use much less energy in doing so. in they are transported to site in a truck and erected on—site. to site in a truck and erected on-site. so once complete there will be 546 apartments this block, so how many modules is that? that's 1520 many modules is that? that's1520 modules, a typical one bed apartment is to modu

to underground existing wires. that is a decision made by the utilities and local government. part of the finding for undergrounding is right pair funding. so the cpuc oversees the program and approves the amount and how those funds are dispersed. there are many quotes out there what the cost is to undergrounding. the quote we came up with anywhere between 1.7 and $3.2 million a mile, but again that's going to vary what the situation is, whether it's urban or wild land. the cpuc does require undergrounding in new subdivisions. >> supervisor fewer: mr. palmer, is it the cpuc's opinion that undergrounding is safer than overhead wires? >> -- not been conducted on that by the cpuc. >> supervisor fewer: are you doing one? >> not at this time, no. >> supervisor fewer: so nobody knows. i mean, you're the authority. so the cpuc has no opinion either way whether or not it's safer to have wires underground than above ground; is that correct? >> that is correct. at this time that analysis has not been done by the cpuc >> supe

what happened in the early years of the london underground it was an underground section only and theys on the overground and that's when they started to develop a problem. and the greenhouse effects then. absolutely. good to talk to you and hear your ideas about getting to grips on heat on underground trains. if it is not heat causing problems it's flooding. in india, injuly, mumbai sees its heaviest monsoon rains in a decade. and later in the month, more than 1000 people had to be rescued from this train as it became stranded in a flood. this year's monsoon came late but still produce significant and deadly flooding. the tornado sirens are blaring here. you need to move it. you need to move right now, that is coming straight at you. in the usa breaking numbers for more consecutive days with at least eight tornadoes. and if one tornado is bad enough, this twin twister was caught on camera during the same outbreak. the same storms bring flash flooding to oklahoma leaving these homes teetering on the edge of the flooded river. a tornado over water looks like this, and it is called a wat

involved with the underground railroad. but they continued to live, much later into the 19th century. and a lot of them came back into the united states. some of them come to the northern cities like chicago, detroit, buffalo. some of them go to washington, d.c., which during the civil war and reconstruction is a major place for african-americans, and some of them go all the way back into southern communities to try to reconnect with people they had known or find groups they think are in a position to make change and be part of that change. i am really tracking all kinds of movement back out of canada after the underground railroad. >> why do they want to come back and what gives them hope? >> a lot of them thought of themselves as members of the united states. they really wanted to be u.s. citizens, part of the united states. slavery was making that impossible. but with the civil war and the end of slavery, there were a number of political leaders who say this is our chance. we are going to go and be part of a reconstructi

people have heard of the underground railroad and how are they able to do that. find somewhere to be safe, sometimes that was in the northern states and mexico, be in a different country and be free from the camps where they could get recaptured. >> where our slaves at this time ? how are they making the journey into canada? >> really everywhere in the united states. we think of world places but enslaved people are in cities, enslaved people are brought into northern cities and some are even rented it to the west and northwest. they are really everywhere and they would take the opportunity when they saw one working with a network of people are by themselves to escape slavery. >> what is a story that stands out in your research of slaves making that journey? >> my research is focused on what happens when they are already in canada. one of the settlements in but becomes canada is the town of-- in which case you have a minister who takes a group of enslaved people from the south and decides slavery is no longer what he says is ethical. he's going to go to ontario, s

so what might -- people have heard of the underground railroad. but why were slaves trying to escape to canada? and how were they able to do that? >> all right. so the underground railroad is really a whole set of things together. it's boats. it's some rails. it's roads. it was people really trying to get out of slavery and find somewhere they could be safe. sometimes that was just the northern states. sometimes mexico. and most famously all the way to canada to be in a completely different country and be free from the chance that they could get recaptured and brought about a into slavely. >> what was the journey like? where are slaves at this time? and how were any making that journey in canada. >> in the decades before the civil war slaves were really everywhere in the united states. we think of them mostly in the south, rural places. but enslaved people are in cities, enslaved people are brought into northern cities. some of them are sort of rented into the west and the northwest. and so they're really everywhere. and often they would take the

. >> josiah henson is one of the unsung heros of the underground railroad. he was enslaved has a child and managed to escape from enslavement with his entire family, carrying two children on his back. he made it to canada where he started a school and a settlement for other refugees. he was widely known in england, canada, and the eastern united states as father henson and was very much in demand as a preacher and a speaker. he became an inspiration, not the inspiration, for the literary character "uncle tom" in uncle tom's cabin. and they actually were alike in some ways only. hair yet beachrriet beecher sto characters but she was developing a character who was a very, very devout christian, tried to persuade other people to deepen their faith, sacrificed themselves for others, was beaten, tortured, died, and forgive his tormentors as he died. that's really not josiah henson. that's christ. even though there were many inspirations for uncle tom, josiah henson got associated with it, and this was one of the best and the worst things that could happen to him.
