Call the second phase of three phases. Between 2013 and 2017, perhaps between 2017 and 2025, will be this phase. This is the phase that has the mission rock project. The beginning of pier 70, it has the arena built out. It also has central subway. It has the caltrain electric strife indication, the implementation of phases of tep and the bike plan. But what im paying attention to or we all are hopefully is are we linking these investments so they fall in time for the land use and big developments. And if not, what are the bridge measures that we need to put together so that for a year or two 2013 the opening of a big opening of Residential Development and the central subway, we have transit capacity in place to carry people for that year. I can tell you that working with americas cup taught me volumes about how red and i quick we can be when were smart in planning ahead to supply the capacity when and where it needs to be. So, summaries about first round of workshops we had on october 30th, these are just two of the six slides. We have the marked up maps, the top six concerns. We also have pages of individual concerns that came out of that. These are also posted on our website because we want this process to be transparent. If you werent able to make work shock 1 on october 30th were hoping youll help us december 4th the next workshop. At that workshop ive already heard loud and clear from the community lets have better data on the integration of land use and transportation. So, we are preparing maps that show not only all those Transit Networks but what the land use is, making sure the future transit is falling where the land use needed to be. But thanks to the planning department, weve got those maps underway. Whats really interesting is the comment that came out was, okay, weve got this data, we know its happening. Whats the soul of this planning . Where are we going in terms of goals and objectives and what quality of the neighborhood do we really want to build . We have a lot of goals and objectives in a variety of documents already, the general plan, the transportation element of the general plan, the waterfront Land Use Plan of the port, the area plans of south beach, rincon point, those are Community Objectives already set. Were going to start with those. We put them all over the walls and asked the people at the workshop these are whats in the books. Help us figure out this is adequately addressing what you see emerging in this part of town because we can circle those goals and objectives and say, yes, they point to this part of the waterfront. I expect well need to come up as a community with new goals and objectives that reflect what is really happening. However, that should be a fantastic exercise because when we do, when we have goals and objectives, we have an inventory of all the projects in the works and when theyre happening and we have a list of what the concerns are, what we can start doing is fashioning some recommendations and solutions. And to do that before may 2015, get that out ahead of the published draft eir for pier 3032, it gottion us ahead of the draft eir for mission rock and pier 70. So we can start pointing to tremendously valuable mitigations measures and solutions that hopefully are part of the project or certainly addressing what the project impacts are. Again, im one of the stakeholders. My system mta needs to work well. Getting ahead of the data, timing, community concerns, i will be much more confident going into an eir and all of the analysis we get, understanding that ive got these ideas and this Community Perceptions with me. So, with that id be happy to take questions or move to the next presenter. Wanted to ask mr. Albert, how many people participated in that october 30th workshop, and how are you doing outreach to make sure the neighbors and neighborhoods around the development are really involved . And i know lisa pagan also mentioned the neighborhoods are really critical but i just wanted to have some sense of numbers and how youre going to get better data and include the neighborhoods more. Thank you. We had 55 people at the first workshop. Working closely with [speaker not understood] helping us with outreach, she maintains the list of Community Members who are involved who asked questions. We also worked with the cac and the cac drives a big turnout. Im building that mailing list as i go because as we get a lot of comments online, we have an interactive place where people can plug into give us input and be part of our email list. Were trying to go beyond email. We have social networks, conventional mail, handwritten a few letters who to people who dont want to work on computers. This is helping get out to the bigger community. This is the time to work with us and it would be fantastic to have the input televised and having more forums like these. I would agree with you that the people plan for the americas cup is good data, but this is specific to this area. Thats a little bit different than the americas cup which as a huge spill. Im glad there is a commitment to work closely with the neighborhood surrounding the development. So, thank you. May i . Supervisor kim. Thank you. Mr. Albert, thank you so much. I do appreciate the fact i do think the outreach has been done since august in the neighborhood and there have been a number of meetings, the turnouts have been really great. I think those from the warriors and [speaker not understood] have been really supportive outreach and i want to appreciate that. For a project of this size. I was wondering if you could go over a little bit some of the lessons we learned from the Giants Stadium as another large kind of public event institution in the city. I know that weve collected the data. We have some kind of [speaker not understood]. What were positive things the city could do or meet the needs or increase of the Giants Stadium . What were some of the lessons we learned, things we can improve on for the next project . Thank you. Well, looking even back as 1999 when we started projecting what we thought might happen, that was before the stadium opened, i think there were i have data here from my colleague Jerry Robbins who has been instrumental in helping build the plan. It is a little more than 52 . Were expected to come by car during the weekday. That went up to 68 , 65 on the weekend. Those are the assumptions in the eir. Theyre pretty close to what happened initially. What we also saw, though, that we didnt that we see now that are bigger numbers than we projected, a big increase in the walk and the bike mode split. The bike valley parking the giants worked really well. Transit rider ship in the beginning was 41 which is easily the highest transit mode we saw in ballparks around the country. That settled into 25 mode split. It puts us in the top 3. Chicago has 231 2. So, those benchmarks are far and above the transit mode system weve seen are around the country. Im a little worried why we at mta contributed from the 40 to 20 and i can tell you one of the challenges we have to do is to sustain the great word of mouth. The transit is a way to get there. The list for me is the americas cup experience. You remember the weekend supposed to end by weekend. October 6 or october 7 where we had americas cup fleet week, giants, 49ers, everything happening. We had extraordinary transit modes. We had record rider ship on every single conveyor of people moving out of the area. The lesson is dont scare people away. Invite them to take transit. Make the options real. Do fantastic marketing. I have a feeling our transit was some of the highest we ever saw. It is much more malleable formula. I would say the assumptions back in 99 werent that far off from where we were, but the trends were seeing now are positive in getting more people walking and bicycle and especially with the americas cup experience on transit. My question, then another question on the Giants Stadium, when you looked at the cost in terms of the transit investments that we had to make, some increased demand in the neighborhood, do you feel like we were able to adequately calculate those costs and how with the Warriors Arena do we plan to estimate from that . And if the impact fee is in the rider ship, what you pay when you get on mound and i cover that, what are some ideas that we may have to explore . We do have a lot of great information from the americas cup. I can tell you not just muni, because there is so much more [speaker not understood]. They provided what their cost was to the augmented service. Americas cup, one thing we wanted to do was deal with the perception if there was a major event on one part of town draining other parts of town from resources. We developed the people plan to float the high level of transit above the baseline so you could see the Ongoing Service in every neighborhood isnt really affected by the great demand in the northeast waterfront. That would be the basis for this assessment. We dont want to cannibalize transit to feed another. That comes with a cost. We can provide the cost. I had a chance to meet with the ceo of the warriors, [speaker not understood]. And hes approached our cfo with some innovative ideas with his experience in phoenix and we want to make sure transbay in San Francisco, phoenix and San Francisco are two different city, but the idea for innovation and building in the ticket, with a ticket transit incentive is tremendous. And it actually makes people feel the transit is part of the whole experience of going to the game. It actually minimizes the cost of the psychological barrier. And after the americas cup experience, we have a lot of Fertile Ground to work with. And just one more question. I know some people, and including in the plans, brought up the concept of water taxis and ferries. That can be an advantage of the site. And given, of course, we anticipate a lot of fans, others, participants from the east bay, that could be one way to kind of increase public transit, but also mitigate some of the concerns about crowd control after games as theyre heading back the other way directly off the pier onto ferry boats. What is the realistic nature of those types of alternatives and how can we begin to explore them . Thank you. So, for the transit, classic transit service, golden gate, the boat pro supplieders that take you to the ball parks, they carry about a third of the transit rider ship already at the ballpark. That is a tare men disamount of lift. It is much higher than the representation of the commuters downtown. Water taxi is a new animal. The port just finished the fee process. I was on the water taxi with the bidders because i wanted to see what value they could add specifically for americas cup. My brain doesnt stop therethv i wanted to look atwater taxi as a resource. [speaker not understood]. I want to talk to them more extensively about next year. This gives us plenty time what water taxis mean by the time it is open in 2017, 2018. Thank you. I just want to say i think this is a truly critical part of this development as we move forward and i appreciate the work that is happening in this area. I know that supervisor wiener has some questions, but i just want to make sure that we continue to look at this, one of the top concerns of course are we going to be able to [speaker not understood] to meet this need and how do we serve it, but also not impact other parts of the city as well. And then how can we also enhance some of the existing issues that already exist in the neighborhood even without the Warriors Arena that have safety issues, the bike access as well as other public transit. You i really look forward to working with you and the mta as we move forward with this. I believe supervisor wiener has questions as well. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you for that presentation, mr. Albert. Very much appreciate it. The plan seems like solid in many ways but in the linchpin to all of this is muni. Im hopeful to have a great water taxi system even better, better and berry ferry system. Hopefully the cpuc wont kill off the uber and other kinds of innovative Car Sharing Services and well be able to have that and better biking and pedestrian. Really at the heart of this is muni. And i guess my question for you is putting aside sort of the grand planning and vision, what level of confidence do you have by the time this arena opens, muni is actually going to do what it needs to do to invest in a system and expand the system and be able to actually service this . Because this is a lot of [speaker not understood]. Im very supportive of this project. I think it could be a really, really great thing for San Francisco. But i do have concerns about whether muni will actually be able to in a very tangible way invest in the system, make it more reliable and expand the system to allow this to work. I mean, weve seen, for example, in terms of munis toke of light rail vehicles, a whole hearing on this this morning, it has typically you need 114 to operate and typically has 114 functional. So, if one goes out of service, there is usually nothing to replace it. Weve seen in my district the upper market area where were adding thousands of units of new housing and our subway capacity is inadequate to meet current demand. And i keep promising my constituents that, dont worry, muni is on it. Were going to be working very hard and expanding service and making it more reliable. But at some point it starts to ring hollow. So, i want this to succeed and i dont want it to be a transportation nightmare. And i think for that to happen, muni has to be able to invest and expand. And right now i dont see that. And i think very highly of current muni management. But i think we just dont see the level of investment that we need for a growing system. So, id be curious to know your thoughts on that. Thank you. As a constituent of the district when somebody gets passed by trains are too crowded by the time you get to church street, i would be the first person [speaker not understood] when it comes to working with my management if there wasnt a level of commitment. Heres what i can tell you. At americas cup we learned what we can do. We have a team, a system that is going to be incidental or instrumental to managing loads that are above and beyond extraordinary. I think that is one of the big concerns if we have an arena and ballpark and new development at pier 70, clearly there are going to be demands on the system that are bigger. If i can interject and im sorry to interrupt. I think mta did an outstanding job around the americas cup and whatever the 12 things were happening in the city the same day. Absolutely outstanding job. That is a very unique and singular situation. Americas cup is not a great comparison because its specific dates. Its not many days a year every year into eternity. And, so, i think this is much more about the structural daytoday operations of muni. Thank you. Thats where i was going. So, when we did this episodic heavy lift, we learned there are going to be things hard to sustain. Why do we not do this kind of service all the time . What are the capital shortcomings of the system that make it hard for us to run the e line and augment the others . What are the operational challenges . Because to get a bunch of operators in for a big day is one thing. How do you sustain that, how do you train the drivers in advance . How do you have a graduating class well before the demand . This year a few things given me a greater sense of confidence. We worked on this and did some of the planning at the Hunters Point shipyard. To procure the streetcars we need, we need them three years in advance of when they should be running. We have to order streetcars so we have bigger capacity, we have to be three years ahead of the implementation of the project. So, weve embedded now in the procurement cycle the extra streetcars we need working with the Capital Program. He knows what the model will tell us. Hell put it into the Capital Program and then well have a fleet, not the order when theyre needed to run, but the order tested, the streetcars and actually running on the street. The cost of the infrastructure itself, the rail, the rail switches that help the e he line work not just when there is a big day but around the clock, those are real switches that make it easier for drivers to not have to get out of the trains and flip the switch and get back in the train. Those are embedded not necessarily extensive, but they need to be part of the Capital Program. There is a whole spreadsheet of all the operational Capital Investments that are needed to get this level of service not just for an episodic thing, but for really the quality of the whole waterfront. That is part of our assessment. And a lot of that [speaker not understood] americas cup because we pushed up against the capacity of the system. That tells you were paying attention to what the shortfall is between an episodic thing and permanent. Absolutely. In terms of the planning and the thinking, what youre doing, i think its all very best of the best. [speaker not understood] im not convinced i want to be convinced muni will do what it needs to do and stay focused for a sustained period of time on improving and expanding service. Just to conclude that, i had meetings with john haley next week. Hes going to help me with the service planning. Hes going to know the full range of it. The trick of this assessment is that not all the impacts are going to happen in the next year or next few years. So, we do have to measure up with the milestones when a certain development opens. [speaker not understood] were not just paying attention to the waterfront projects. Were looking at the transbay transit center. Were looking at all other a big demands. It would be wrong for us to be claiming for capacity improvements just on the waterfront when so much is happening one block inland. Do share your confidence with the administration. Ive worked with muni long enough to see the different responses that come out of these demands, the teams, input in command that report back to capital and say if you want to do this all the time, you need to think about this salient piece of infrastructure or this sorely needed upgrade over there. That is a conversation that is happening at mta. Im certainly helping shepherd in this direction. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisors, [speaker not understood] with port. The Planning Development division there. I want to briefly provide the planning context for the design presentation that you are about to see. As you know, the port owns the most of the waterfront property on the bay from Fishermans Wharf do you rememberctionv to india basin and the bayview. In 1997 waterfront Land Use Plan was adopted, the first waterfront Land Use Plan for the port after a multiyear process. Community planning process to develop to determine what the uses would be for that property, what kinds of uses would be acceptable and unacceptable for that 71 2 miles of waterfront property that we own and manage on behalf of the state. The main thrust of that waterfront Land Use Plan was determining what the port priority uses would be, specifically in the maritime uses for the various subareas. There are five subareas within the waterfront Land Use Plan. It also focused on park and open Space Systems as well as creating mixed use development, Opportunity Areas for each of the five each of the five subareas. I should mention again one of the primary thrust of the waterfront Land Use Plan was reconnecting San Francisco with its waterfront. When that plan was adopted, working with city family, the citys general plan and planning code were amended so that the policies including Design Review process within the plan were in keeping with the waterfront plan. As you know, the bacon Certification Development commission has plan districts, basin property as well. Their master plan, their bay plan after the waterfront Land Use Plan was amended was adopted, their bay plan was also amended so that policies could be aligned. And also to make sure that there was a robust Design Review process and that Design Review process is a joint process between the city and dcdc. Specifically the south beach sub area anticipated a number of uses, but more importantly, it anticipated large scale waterfront attractions like sports facilities, like the perez presentation youre about to see. Specific to pier 3032 and seawall 330, the site of this proposal. Piers 3032, the plan anticipated entertainment and assemble uses, commercial activities, Public Open Space, maritime and water dependent uses, the kinds of elements that youll see within the presentation that are about to be presented. As it relates to seawall lot 330 on the west side of the embarcadaro, that seawall lot was anticipated within the plan as a transition from waterfront uses to the kinds of uses, residential uses in the south beach community. So, that site, seawall 330, anticipated residential, hotels, those kinds of uses in addition to commercial activities. I wanted to note as it related to the immediate context. The adjacent facility, [speaker not understood] adjacent to the site are developed with sheds, bulkhead buildings, and the waterfront plan specifically mentions that there is an opportunity in its large vacant site to develop new waterfront architecture that could be complementary to the historic facilities adjacent to it, but could be a departure from these 100year Old Buildings that occupy piers 26, 28, 38, and other adjacent piers. So, with that brief introduction or brief reference to the waterfront plan, wanted to introduce the next speaker, ken rich, who is going to talk specifically about the context for this design. Good afternoon, supervisors. Ken rich, ouwd. This is a brief introduction to the main event, which is craig dikers. First, we want to thank everyone involved,edth warriors, design team, large city staff team, and most importantly the cac and the community at large for working with us to develop and respond to a Design Concept in what has been a very short period of time given the magnitude and complexity of the project. And second, we want to make it clear that even though as you will see, there is a ton of work and thought, there is obviously put into the design so far, we are very early in the process and there will be a lot more evolution over the next year. So, by way of a brief introduction to the concept itself or the design itself, please keep in mind that this is a concept, not a finished design ferment however, pretty some of the pictures look, this is a concept. That means its more about at this stage the function of the sites, use kind of a prosaic word, the shapes, the materials of the building are not proposed yet. Basically today we would ask you to focus on whether the proposal succeeds in meeting the basic goals that we have for a development on this site. These were developed early by staff and discussed with the community at early cac meetings. Let me suggest a few questions to keep in mind, if i may, as you watch the presentation. So, for the piers, the proposal succeed in offering a variety of different kinds of assets to the water and waterrelated activities . Does the proposal maximize usable Public Open Space . Does it [speaker not understood] public or private . Does the proposal preserve or even enhance the most important views of the water and of the bridge . And that is not all views which would be impossible, but the key most important views. So, if the proposal [speaker not understood] mass of the arena building and parking structure, does the proposal set up pedestrian and auto circulation in such a way that they dont conflict with each other or jamb up the streets . All in all, on the piers, can you imagine the proposal for the pier actually adding value and beauty to what is already a pretty spectacular location . And then quickly for the other side of the street, the seawall lot, sort of the set of different criteria, does the proposal feel like a part of the city and the neighborhood . Does the proposal help create an appropriate edge to the city as it meets the water . Does it come down to the street at a human scale along the embarcadaro . Does it offer transparency, in other words, views into the shop or the lobby from the sidewalk . Is the edge along the embarcadaro aligned with active uses and does it feel comfortable to walk along the embarcadaro . In term of the higher buildings proposed on the seawall lot, do they preserve important public view corridors . And lastly id like to go ahead and introduce craig dikers, the lead designer of the architecture firm, to take you through the design proposal. Tanks. Thanks. Thank you very much. Thank you, supervisors, and audience. Its an honor and a privilege to present some of our ideas and developments that weve had to date. And as mentioned earlier, were still in a very preliminary stage of the work. And we hope our design will be seen as providing a clear Conceptual Development around which variations to the design can develop over time as we have more feedback from the community and from those invested in the project. The first thing to point out to you in this first slide are some of the basic principles that define our way of thinking. As you can see, there is the blue swath that covers both pier 30, 32 and the seawall side and that is because we understand both of these developments to be integral with one another and to have and provide a similar sensibility, although complementary as you move along the embarcadaro. Youll also notice that on each side of the pier site youll see slightly different colors. That is because we want every edge of the pier to be responding in a unique way to its unique conditions. It is a very, very large pier site. So, one would imagine that each of the edges of it would have a different condition. So, along the north side nearest to pier 28, a more urban quality to that side of the pier. To the east side, the width and breadth of the pier over looks the very broad areas of the bay and of the water and coast lines beyond towards oakland. We want to provide a large views and connected views and movement along the east side of the pier. Then to the south adjacent to the new street wharf project, we want to create a more recreational low rise atmosphere, the best response to these new developments by the city and to the west. Alongside the seawall sites, we want to have a scale thats intimate with the embarcadaro and that is responsive to the cultural traditions that most people recognize along the embarcadaro. Youll also see squares, there is a tt
