yerba buena island of the former bay bridge alignment. and the proposal there is rather than demolishing the pier all the way down to the mud line of the bay, as was in their original bcdc permit, caltrans has proposed and bckc has approved removing the upper portion of the pier and then constructing access from the shoreline out to the pier, as a public access improvement to bring people out on to the bay and give them a different experience along the shoreline. so this is where pier e2 is relative to the east end of the island and the new bay bridge. and this is some shots of the construction in progress. you can see they've already taken the pier down to the intended level and back to the shoreline they've cruxed it. -- constructed it. and planned view of how that will tie in with the proximity to the torpedo building and access back to north gate road. because caltrans needs to do some environmental work in the vicinity of area where the parking and bike racks are indicated, there will be a phased improvement to the site, with some in

everything from oceanside to southeast plant and all the computations including treasure island and yerba buena. we have all the preventative responsibility, maintaining maintenance and also keeping up with work orders from operations. i would say one of the things fortunately for me is the staff is incredibleably motivated. the staff here knows what to do, how to do the job safely, and it makes my job incredibly easy. >> they know the job, and they know the challenges, and i think it's all about personal pride. they want to do a good job. from our maintenance group to our i.n.c., dedication to the people. when they're going home, and they're crossing the bay bridge, and they get a call that there's a problem with a pump station on treasure island, they return to work. they turnaround in westbound traffic and get back to work and get this pump back in line, and i can't tell you how much that means to me as a boss and the city and county of san francisco. >> as a group, if they didn't do what they do, the streets would be flooded with waste and gray water, and it could become a health hazard. we

this would help us to develop the yerba buena island bike path that comes across the san francisco open island bay bridge, across the islands and across the west span of the bay bridge into san francisco proper, so we've been working with a whole bunch of folks for a potential first phase that comes down treasure island road, eventually hoping to bring that bike path and pedestrian path all the way over to the main land, excuse me. we've also had good conversations with the water agency transportation agency. this is weta. our projects manager, eric cordoba presented in february or march, and we've been working on different ways to bring water transit to and from the island. this is a perfect route that we hope we will be able to bring in time for the first housing on the island in a couple of years. in terms of outreach that chair haney mentioned, we do have outreach in april. we will be presenting that to the island businesses in particular to sit down and have good cocreations session, to figure out ways to shape that transit policies for the community there. with that, i conclude my

the vitality and again the longevity of the treasure island and the yerba buena islands are actually encumbered on the proper maintenance of the 300 plus acres of parks, the largest in the history of san francisco. i think the takeaway -- it's unfortunate that some of our commissioners were not part of that delegation to new york, because the exercise there was to look at signatures, iconic parks throughout the country. what the genesis are, what are the models, successful models that people are utilizing to maintain these parks. parks are extremely very expensive. one of the mistakes that people in san francisco finally realized, when the san francisco development agency was dissolved, they had created all of these parks. and even as i speak, the city is still grappling with the maintenance of all of those parks. here you have all of these assets, all over the place throughout the city. and we do not know what they're going to look like in 20 years' time and even don't talk about the 30 years. we have the responsibility here at this agency for the maintenance, for some of the spaces

additional mid-block crossings we have one at perry under the freeway and one that connects to the yerba buena gardens and there's one at south park. that's a location we see major vehicle queueing at bryant. that box-blocking issue with pedestrian conflicts would be hard to address under current traffic conditions at that location. also, it's not a street that crosses third. it just intersections third and from a geometric perspective there's less urgency than there otherwise would be. regarding enforcement, my task as a project manager and my team i worked with and we look at design and we have an enforcement effort that take place every afternoon all over the city and p.c.o.s are helpful but we don't want to rely on them too much. >> commissioner: anything else, directors? very good. this is an action item so we will go to public comment. >> good afternoon, chair heinicke and board members. i'll the policy and program lead with walk san francisco. we're pleased with the project. five of the munis go down the corridor and pedestrians use them and people who walk. all transit riders are pedes

and in clipper cove lies between treasure island and yerba buena island. and the treasure facilities are at the southeast corner of the island today. here's a perspective on that. you can see the waterside facilities that extend out over the water and down to the water. and the base structure there was existing naval facilities though treasure island sailing center has made some improvements to the access. and then they have some modular facilities and boat storage on the land side. and the 201 entitlement and transaction documents for treasure island committed the community development to provide a geotechnically improved site for the continuing operations of the sailing center programs and the land-use plan identified that site as shown here just to the east of what is the historic hangar 3. this proposed lease would provide the sailing center with a 66-year lease to facilitate and financing and permill permif new facilities. because large portions of the island are subject to the state lands trust, including this site, 66 years is the limit of how long
