Specifically to implement the hov lane and look for more Permanent Solutions 9 nature of the trait options of the corridor that he settled own an express lane corridor a upcoming to the hot hov toll so the single occupancy vehicles so how do you implement an express lane partially need funding the 2000 retail tax leverage for other states and federal funding and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority to we didnt it exist we were agency and alameda transportation Investment Agency i think that the acronym the two agencies along with santa clara form the carpool Transbay Joint Powers Authority to become a Power Authority and the legislation of ab 22 that allowed the tolling of grade i 680 that same legislation allowed the ac c to toll a second corridor within alameda the third thing we needed to implement the express lane a consensus between the public, the politicians and the other agencies involved you have consensus in the ball park through is a lot of issues surrounding the express lane tolling issues for the design and consideration for the express lane wharf limited assess or continued or fully assess or general public lane the hours of operation you want generally, we have hov lanes during the peek lanes and alameda if 5 to 8 00 p. M. Not breaking in the middle of the day even though there is a bottom line toll what kind of enforcement and hov do you want to allow hov 3 or 2 what about the cleaner vehicles and what kind of performance that are a lot of things in the toll policies and armies with caltrain and for construction we have agreements with chp to have additional paroles and Revenue Collection Services were no a state t o v washington and other states do that here in the bay area and Southern California were not that we cant do everything we have all the interagency agreements take a cooperative nature a timeline i dont know why it is animated that shows simply the steps to the 680 southbound it took seven years from content to reality this is along the 51080 came along and this is 3 entry and exit points dynamically priced in the congested points of day a higher price for people to adjust the time to the shoulder of peek hours or lower the total of the cost 41 million that is just the price for the toelz infrastructure not the hov construction only the tolling for a 14 mile stretch were in the process of final designs for the express lane and convert the southbound to the continuous southbound lanes to enter and exit the corridor our i 5 it is identified as a potential express lane because of the corridor and also commuter traffic from the Silicon Valley it took until 2012 to get a hov lane unrelated to some of the things that took once the hov a express lane in 2014 this past february opened in into directions eastbound and westbound with one and full continuous assess 2 runs roughly from the i 6 to greenville road to the pass and 12 mile corridor and the tolling cost 55 million opening since the beginning had you want to operate so, please dont think once you have it built it stops there we have operating expenditures and moderating only we control if there is an incident in the general parks lanes opening for the add capacity we have to do it between caltrain or chp we monitor for performance and failures and maintenance contractors that correct the except it is an ongoing process but it is a lot of fun. Actually some of the things weve learned from being an operator weve been sharing with the other agencies Enforcement Matters our i 60 didnt have the other system so i 580 was capturing the system that means that everybody going throw in the express los angeles i know who you are i will send you a bill on the i 6080 people that are cheating will be getting bills in the mail assess control matters whether our a continuous or limited that makes a difference we see on i 680 we see people jumping the white lines we dont need a corridor because of the nature of the corridor long and continuance assess for people to assess it and more freedom and mobility well think converting that Outreach Matters people dont know how the express lanes work they misunderstand we are continuing doing outreach the construction matter weve done a lot of hov lanes and converting that takes more money and time then building an express lane in one smot shot either a reduced enemy where you want to be they end and be convert of funds we had a lot of advantage for both corridors on i 60 reduced the travel time and increased the vehicles weve reduced qs at congestion points most people between january 78 toll trips per day and work one and 90 thousands in Gross Revenue and from that weve been paying our bills i 680 has been in the black and the other the speed differentiate 20 to 25 mileperhour and base we have assess i dont want to see anything higher than that that could be a safety issue it is a faster more reliable trip thats what youre selling a product faster for reliable trip from august this year seven hundred thousand total trips per day and many are toll trips it is by directional so more use 33 that are tollfree that is a cleaner vehicle and transit vehicle and 50 percent toll use and only 12 percent violation rate and those violations are violations by mail we hope to get more people as i said up for the fast track system we have building outreach but all and all a great ride thank you for sharing that and finally had a chance to drive through one commissioner avalos to you want to speak now or later well continue then. Sorry thank you very much for that presentation liz i think as liz identified as part of presentation identifying the needs of system and what were trying to solve for key in quantifying those developing the system obviously in San Francisco a number of steps where alameda is where we want to catch so what on the screen right now is some of the data weve been collecting as part of Corridor Management weve been using vehicle sources and field observations over the privilege to see where we see the congestion in San Francisco today, the morning peek a unusually from 7 00 a. M. To 9 00 a. M. You see that here congestion to the curve area on 101 and in bound approaching the 101 and into the ramps at the end of 280 soma the evening peek is 203 or 8 00 p. M. The congestion also is absent more wiped in the soma area and have key points of congestion into Alameda County and Caesar Chavez and at the north end this is a picture of where we see congestion in San Francisco and what solutions were trying to focus on i apologize this data super heavy we cleshtd a number of data points to understand how the carpool or hov facility works ill highlight a key couple of points basically overall that an hov definition of 2 or more persons per vehicle that includes cleaner vehicles and van pools is 20 to thirty percent of the hov managed lane on this facility this would not fill up a hov lane if it is on audible day definition of 2 to 3 persons are comparable to most of other freeze in the bay area so p 80 percent of the traffic 36 percent of capacity because of the hov lanes will 234089 be full that is why this is were looking at the hov two or three occupancy to make sure the lane is fully used so as i mentioned we think a managed lane in San Francisco has preliminary feasibility and the ability to list the benefits not just carpool but all free travel ill note the partners in san mateo on u. S. 101 and beginning a study to explore south of the International Airport the travelers dont respect the boundary but discussions of san mateo to explore options for the entire corridor and thank you to the sam in the san mateo is also taking off a bus study working to leverage potential managed lanes or reliability on the freeze to create an express network throusan jose to San Francisco so the team is in the process of developing and flushing out specifically what it looks like in San Francisco and the outbursts and limits are from the goal from the site to a managed lane alternatives we want to make sure the transit have the ability to bypass congestion we dont think there is a need to expand the free in San Francisco and make that connection to additional connection in san mateo we expect for them to be more flushed out and alternatives during the january circle and finally, the Community Involvement is key so the fta fta is outreach for the residents along the free corridor and some broad base outreach along with the presentation interests an understanding again, the freeze serve the travel to capture not only the neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the free for people to use this throughout the region this managed lane alternative and the coordination is caltrain for the next step of their development 72 hours r this is a highlevel this is aggressive that shows you an implementation scald for a managed lane or other management lane alternatives in the calendar year 2021 we hope that provides a benefit in the near future and continue the development and construction so id like to thank liz and art for coming and commissioners, thank you for coming thank you for your presentation commissioner avalos. Thank you for the presentations im supportive of having lane management on hov management on the freeze in San Francisco i think that it is important to proceed to this with caution and great deal of Community Input a part of San Francisco that actually uses our freeze on a daily basis they drive on im one of them not everyday but i choose had i do drive to city hall to take the free he could take commissioner dejesus or guerrero i know that ill be contributing to traffic over there and thats not why i choose to drive a lot of people make that choices a lot of people this is their option but the northern part supervisor peskin i hope takes the free to work do you. When i go to your house. Only when he comes to my house thats been a long time. laughter. and supervisor farrell as well so i think that is important to know that there real neighborhood differences in terms of how we do our outreach how we explain this there are impacts that will happen on the neighborhoods and he needs to be a great deal of handholding with the populations and i happen to be one of them you know, we have to manage congestion with the hov to do that i want to make sure that a real key part you in our work in terms of development and studying how to do there are take into consideration a real difference in the neighborhood around the city in terms of their Transportation Needs and to find a way to address that like a huge political question and you know im going going to be around to help with that. Thank you. Thank you chair cohen. All right. Any other questions or comments commissioners seeing none, thank you very much for your presentation well look forward to our followup in the future any Public Comment on item 8 okay seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Again that was an information item now item 4 really quick do we have someone from public works here douglas so thank you i dont know if you caught the questions should we repeat a couple of them. Im douglas from public works. For the worker fall protection projects some of the questions around the cost i know that is taking place at the 7 facilities i think commissioner peskin had a question whether an mandatory from osha we care of about worker safety but a mandatory from the state and osha fines have been in the past and so if we should not default the protection works weve not work on top of the trollies and the large vehicles what about cable cars. Cable cars also there is one portable performa for the cable car facilities it is a separate procurement but thats the least cost easiest solution in this case to allow them to work on the cable cars at the top of the cable cars safely. Any other question was also about the fact that through one of the recent transportation bond measures were supposed to be renovating our building facilities and so how does that factor into the 14 million well be spending on the fall protections. The two dont over laptop the facilities were dealing with here not part of prop a allocation theyre not none the prop a money is going to those facilities which i could list potrero and light rail and on the muni metro built 10 years ago i understand a track expansion project going on i dont know the status for prop a it is within the original building and a very small part of the program i buildings that was one of the questions that is a current platform and an 8 inch gap between the train and platform were extending the platform so none can full in between. Commissioner peskin did that answer your question. Well the rails what about the hand radials i think that muni metro was 2008 in my recollection serves me thats 8 years did and fill fail to put in handrails. Theres one on the platform is as guardrails a draw bridge to walk into the train and a side mount what we call that sort of the zip line protection attached to a capable in a system the concern there is a small gap that the workers have raised issues about that tools and equipment and personnel can slip into that it exceeds the guidelines the safety guidelines were closing that gap theres a small part of budget. The other issue just the project management percentage seems high to everybody project management or construction. Construction management. Construction management portion. I think that was 2 million. Yeah. Percentage of overall because this is a 7 separate locations and there is a high regress of coordination with the facility to keep it operating during the work for example, at the potrero were allowed to mobilize we have to demobilize every night the trollies can be parked in the facilities no other Parking Spaces there this is part 6 Construction Management costs we feel it is within an acceptable range. All right. Well, thank you for that any other questions then or comments okay. Thank you for coming and answering our questions on behalf of sfmta so at this time well go to Public Comment on item 4 anyone wish to comment please come on up.

Item 4 state and federal legislative update an informational item. Mr. Mark watts and ms. Chang did you want to say anything about the federal and state legislation. Good morning its been a while sins ive been here thank you for having me. And i want to cover a couple of things one or two items that relate to the matrix we had a sponsor bill give you a brief urban design on the special session that comes back to life to Fund Transportation and ill give you details on that and a little bit about cap trade and take questions disdains the authority supported legislation by assemblyman david chiu it is nice working with a someone ive known for a while and he and his office ill contributed this success of that hard work just justin that did a job ab 2374 approved by the allergic and the governor will Grant Construction manage Procurement Authority to the Transportation Authority specifically for work on the Yerba Buena Island retrofit and what made it a exclamation is the addition on behalf of placinger for federal aid bridge replacement in the American River called the james yankee bridge theyre okay with moving forward with Transportation Authority and have full support of transportation thats the full success. Your Delivery Team it excited were suggesting that ab x one 26 by essential Committee Chair franciscos is added as a watch a 7 billion annual program for transportation funding focusing mainly on fix it first and state of good repair for state and local roads it has should relatively high levels of new gas taxes and so forth the reason we recommend watch a converted effort to collaborate with the fellow members of the legislature to bring down the costs and put this system together that might attract the 2 3rds vote and a special session bill if this year changes well be able to come back and alert you to those changes and youll take a formal position at a point thats the recommendation of staff and a number of bills you took support or opposition during the year and in your packet a kind of summary of those bills and how they fair ill point out a couple of key ones you had elected to support mtc ab 516 by mr. Mullins that deal with the temporary license plates for new vehicles to be sort of the use of those temporary plates accelerate putting those vehicles in the system so on toll facilities they dont get free passage and ab 1574 you support this bill with regulation of tour buses this one didnt move forward a different measure moves forward and ill cover that in a second was left on the in active fill and supported ab 1591 the chairman frazier the regular session has adjourned that bill is not viable but ab x126 the bigger robust passage the second of mr. Allens bills first ab 2 supporting one and later ab 1645 the subject of opposition that deal with shuttle loading and unloading failed passage in time before the session adjourned, however, i would appoint did introduce a bill special session so if we get to a point the special session is reengaged a possibility ill try to move that legislation a lot lee through the focus is not on the thirty or 40 bills beyond the scope of the transportation bill well be monitoring that closely the ab 1677 which is mr. Tings bill is the measure relayed to the tour buses that passed the legislature and that provides the portfolios protocol to make sure the safety inspections are done in time it is similar at the end of the day to mr. Chius bill i did mention mr. Chius ab 7 the supported bill and in addition another relayed c gmc that related with the reject projects that the state can undertake on the states from 6 to 12 that passed and one you supported. And i think those are the highlights i wanted to brurngs and an overall bring you up to speed in june the governor issued a proclamation s x special session one and fall there were two or three major hearings around the state to understand the nature of the problem confronting the local government in terms of funding for state of good repair for the systems subsequent to that legislation was introduced in regular session and some in special session this at this time under fraziers legislation is the one we recommend putting a watch on development in concert with the chairman of the transportations theyre no like mind but to Work Together to bring some of the taxes that will garden more legislative support. What is mr. Fraziers district. It is basically from saloma to east Contra Costa County it is unusual for a special session to continue even through in the rule continue technically until the end of the technical legislation end that journeyed for the recess at the end of august it would run the course to the ends of november and focused discussions between the speaker and the pro tem and other speakers in the legislature and waiting until a day or to undertake an attempt to ask the legislation ive referenced and other legislative that emerge in the period i know a lot of interest in cap trade in may and august auction was dashed a lot of hopes they failed to identify now revenues theyve retained one billion dollars for unexpended cap trade revenues and then this summer spent 9 million of that that left 900 million of funds in cap trade waiting pending my future thought he next auction how they those auction revenues fair in the meantime the couple of key programs that were funded with part of 9 fourhundred Million Dollars that was adopted included one and 35 million to continue for the transit rail Capital Program the had issued a list of projects this it summer they intend to fund this money will insure with the funding is available for the next couple of years until we see where cap trade goes and an automation augmentation and on the agenda this month in the process of including that additional 10 million as intended and finally there was a new program called Transformative Community that was ushered in by a Los Angeles Legislature with one and 40 million but on the heels of governor approving the funding and the new program bill an issue by the Growth Council in their rule making they intend to provide 50 percent of one and 40 million to the projects in fresno no and 25 to la was the third site yet to be selected so it will pay to be watching and monitoring that regulatory process they had their first open hearing yesterday and several more steps to go through ill be collaboratively with our staff and making sure they have update information. Can you explain what they mean by Transformative Community autopsy theyre looking for planning and pofshl implementation projects of host of projects in a particular small portion of community they hope that 2 transforms the quality of life and produce the c s g that integrated has a mix of projects that come together to im not sure the right word but to it is more each one builds on each other not only on integrating but expands the g h reductions. Knowing how huge la county is that is a drop in the bucket one and 40. 40 percent in fresno and. Im not sure how fresno came to the forefront but discussions between the Mayors Office and the administration because all through the spring and summer we watched this budget develop and not sure a Cap Trade Program the mayor the current fresno mayor was at the all the hearings in the and when this strategic rule making came out was earmarked for fresno im surprised but surprised theyve been so forth coming. There are. Couple of other issues i was going to talk about the trade bail that is only for backdrop 0 ill focus on that by way of background legislation to earmark some of the federal money for the programs around the state and the chairman of the Assembly Transportation committee supported legislation to mirror the process we use for proposition 1b that essentially gave each region a target so the mtc had a target for trade funding i only mention that has that bill was nearing the end of last night session pretty late and another issue potentially more for the delegation of night club by a to the california to process rod and documentations and records of decision that has more of a Pilot Program with a sunset date at the end of this year and when the regular session was winding down none of the 3 bills that had been moving through the legislation were in the position to move forward and a issue to put 2 into the bill that moves along that fell apart on senate floor is night club by a documendocumenta documents th cant push the sate to the felt level so a focus in the special section if it fires up and comes to fruition to try to extend this and it is a no 9 a k345ik9 complicated matter but that brings my presentation to a close and looking forward to next year im informed by staff they believe that San Francisco mta will be pursuing the acknowledged recording legislation of the year potentially well be asked to collaborative with them and in addition the other major thing that will probably emerge mtc measure 3 i assume the staff is working at tweaking that to shape it to the full board for the authority at the mta to move on that i know that they intend to collaborate with the San Francisco chairman that chairs the issues i think that might be the venue that a lot of the issues will be sorted out thats a little bit of what to expect. Commissioner yee. Thank you, mr. Watson i guess youre talking about all . I may have gotten i thought that was mta but i may be wrong. And if theyre working on it to carry anything at this point. Weve not been asked to assist ive been given the heads up something to work on in the next couple of months as we get ready for the new year. I wanted to thank mtc commissioner campos and i know that as you mention theres xiblth built into the funding and thank commissioner yee for the it is your both safety on the local level and good to see some of 3 at the state level lets open up for Public Comment anyone wish to comment seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Thank you so much oh, we have a recommendation on the watch on the frazier ab x126 is there a motion on the recommendation there is a motion that has been seconded can we take that without objection . I dont know. I know no action needed. No action needed. Okay mr. Stamos in essence item.

And a report. Eric Deputy Director happy to report i want to start with an update on the y b i ramps the item before you is a construction contract change order related to that item. The picture tells the story the good news we are nearly complete with the new westbound on and off ramps of Yerba Buena Island were explicit reaching 95 percent and within the budget of 63 allocation and also happy to report were meeting the disadvantage goal the ramps with planned to be open that last week in october we were finalizing the dates depending on the rain in the forecast but targeting the weekend of october 22nd to open up the on and off ramps westbound. Just a little bit of final detail the construction is complete we have some final local roadwork to tiein and also some sdlaip we have a Ribbon Cutting that is schedule for friday, october 21st you got an invitation and indicated the final improvements should be finalized including the landscaping the item before you is what were describing as a visa point to construct and have been working with caltrans and the Treasure Island authority for a new visas point on the u. S. Coast guard when you look at the sketch caltrain it complete with things in reform very conducted and ready to open their bike landing that is in orange there and could be the improvements that are extended at visas point are temporary but include a crosswalk to the u. S. Coast guard quarters 9 properties which is a strategic location and provides very dramatic visas photographer moms and didnt includes bike beneficiaries and we are working with the Bay Area Toll Authority to have a shutter service so folks with messaged and park on Treasure Island and take the shuttle up to that area that area is a live active construction out there and funding is 2 million for all the improvements which is split 50 50 between the Toll Authority and the Transportation Authority the Transportation Authority actually, the fund for the pa are from the federal highway Bridge Program and proposition retrofit program our intent to open visas point in the fall of 2016 hoping for the november, december timeframe and finally the item before you so execute agreements with tihdi they have the existing vendors selfimportant the janitorial maintenance and other services that will be required and in particular security so were requesting executing align mou with tida for the Operation Services and not to exceed nine hundred thousands that concludes my presentation. Thank you, sir. Any questions then open up for Public Comment. Commissioner yee. Thanks for the presentation looking at this. Yes. Seems like this is an on and off ramp ongoing west yes. Offramp going west and east is there a offramp east. Actually, lets talk about that thats a good question there was on eastbound offramp on the east side of the id like has been closed for 10 plus years that will be reestablished as part of the overall improvements in the interexchange theyll open later this month on the left side of the photo the eastbound is open and caltrain updated that ramp recently and reopened it but the eastbound offramp is yet to be opened in the latter part of mid to 2018. So you will open up on the righthand lane and the one yeah. Till when you come from inform to on time and on budget your heading eastbound a left exit as your approaching Treasure Island that will be open as an offramp a better route to Treasure Island and the eastbound exit opens the east side of the tunnel will be a better exit if you go up to f b i mountain i forgot what you call it. All right. Thanks. Lets open up for Public Comment anyone wish to comment seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And is there a motion to recommend executing in mou with tida for the visas point and there is a motion that has been seconded and colleagues without objection. Mr. Stamos thank you next item. The alameda update an informational item. Good afternoon rachel an informational update on the district 9 neighborhood transportation improvement Planning Project that is a planning effort that is in response to the portal Neighborhood Association of 9 District Community groups to look at improving Public Safety and at the combarj of alameda and bay boulevard and others boulevard underneath the ramps where 280 and 101 have an interchange were at the point in the study we analyze the feasibility of community preferred concept so the bicycle assess and safety improvements across the intersection and understand the faeblth an understanding of the costs we have a number of rounds of outreach and in the process of doing the final round of outreach this month i mentioned a district 9 Planning Project and let me talk through and give you ape overview verbally of the component of the improvement and have a bunch of pictures after this slide commissioner campos. Thank you. Can you can you talk a little bit about youve been this is something weve been working on for that quite some time if you can you talk a little bit about the involvement of the community in this process. Definitely so the idea to do this study is is from the portal Neighborhood Association we have a started off with a letter from portal neighbors describing some of the problems were at the supergreen change particularly the Pedestrian Safety to the Farmers Market on the north side of alamany and theres a lot of folks that seek assess to the market west from alamany and south of alamany and south along san bruno in the neighborhoods in the portal and surrounding so theres a lot of gap in the pedestrian and bike network in this area getting from north to south across a. D. Man and the Farmers Market is a popular designation and we have a lot of folks assessing the market created an informal path along underneath the ramps there so assess the market there is the only way to get there a indirect path so those are some of the safety issues that the community so you get are us to address thats where the project that we looked came from is in response to the gaps in the bike network for people trying to assess the market and get though the area on bicycles and folks trying to assess the market and get into the area with the bicyclists and people of all ages especially getting to the Farmers Market looking at 8 to safety improvements is volume part of what we need to look at so i mentioned the first set of improvements that could be delivered will include closing the gap in the bike network and the completion of bike lanes of class 2 bike Parking Spaces and class 1 bike Parking Spaces that exist exist to the east and west and connecting to an existing bike lane on bayshore in the location between alamany and putnam the vehicular and right now the main formal assess to the Farmers Market on alamany and bayshore a lot of freeway assess and egress travel and on the north side of alamany crossing alamany and finally at bayshore and alamany and then the second phase delivered the path we look at the desire line of both trying to crow alamany from san bruno or on the south on foot and okay. If we wanted to introduce a new assess point by foot to create a safe way to get across with a signal and pasted path a fixed signal on both sides 0 pedestrian signal ramp where will this need to be and what will 2 look like and what will it cost so ill show graphic los angeles counties this is a large scale an mulch of the study of the existing condition and the proposed it is a road died throughout the lefthand side of the im going to show those areas in for comblal this the intersection of alamany going east with san bruno avenue and this is graphic illustrates first illustrates the bike lane gap being filed on alamany eastbound and it lawless some of the very near term pedestrians improvements that will gone along with that the curve extension pained curb extension with san bruno will be designed with other infrastructure with mta benign paint with the white strips and posts delineating that pedestrian says that a quick way to get this in soon and, of course, those curves could be converted to concrete curve extensions at some point we would also restripe the whole area there is a lot of conversation for anyone going through there bicyclists and drivers how to position user in our trying to get to bay so shore the 101 on ramp and if youre trying to turn around and restriping that area and rationaleing the laborious will be something that will increase safety for vehicle drivers as well this is the Cross Section that would end up on alamany the Cross Section of 2 traffic lanes plus a protected buffered bike lane in each direction is what it looks like to the west and east we are extending that bike lane to a bike lane and a buffer and matching up on either the other side of alamany in the detail on that looks like if you got alamany westbound and eastbound in the inspection with san bruno at the bottom part of diagram and that depicts the path right now folks are crossing san bruno alamany on the other hand, at san bruno without a signal or cross running cross there walking among side through the roadway on the unmaintained portion of right away and then crossing alamany at the north part of alamany without a signal we can install a form multi used by pedestrians and bicyclists a more direct connection to interrupting and little Farmers Market it will put in opening a crook including having a signal with a pedestrian walk signal at san bruno and alamany and as a matter of law one at the alamany westbound and the timing actually is Pretty Simple from a traffic flow perspective there is a San Francisco general existing just a few yard to the east of this diagram as to these connecter intersects with alamany not a delay for people trying to drive through the area. Weve completed the traffic analysis with caltrain support and fortunately, we find several enough roadway capacity to accommodate this without increasing traffic sybil and working with mta to adjust the signal timing and to coordinate the signal timing that will be needed for 240 project with ongoing traffic signal work planned in the area and caltrain review and approval of the changes the striping changes and the signal timing changes to implement these improvements we recommend pursuing sort of two delivery phasein parallel the first part could be done quickly with mta the striping project the road diets on alamany and then the more medicine term delivery would be of the pedestrian and bicycle multi use path that is because a project that requires more engineering by dpw dpw as looked at that and we need to design for drainage interest there, there is flooding to the east of the area and make sure that path avoids of flooding and doesnt exacerbate any flooding and install the signals it is a little bit longer than of a project to deliver than the striping project but there are a lot of opportunities for grant fund these improvements first of all, this is an project and look at it tip and commendation funding and prop k and Capital Funding to help to support the project a current general fund set aside to continue the next phases of implementation engineering of the project and will be very expensive for a number of grants this is on the vision zero net High Injury Network that gives it a leg up against other competing projects the costs are relatively modest for the bike lane and the path together not more than 5 million and in fact, we think that is together certainly significantly less than 5 million altogether weve gotten great compute and involvement from matt and dpw and caltrain honestly and also support and doing outreach from the portal Neighborhood Association been great in giving us feedback and directing us to outlet groups in the community that has given us a lot of input so family connections particular a couple of different focus Group Sessions with defy groups within family connections coming up thats where we do a lot of cantonese outreach and going out to the Farmers Market again in month liquor earlier in the spring to get feedback from the folks assessing the market at the market we look forward to any other input or guidance you have for us the next time is after weve completed our outreach and made refinement to the disdain design have a clear implementation path to present thank you. Commissioner cohen then commissioner campos. Thank you very much i wanted to pay any compliments periphery that is its been a Long Time Coming how the population is growing in the eastern part of San Francisco and particularly in the Portland Neighborhood a dangerous intersection im surprised we havent have more kaultsdz than weve had to date i want to pass on this compliment to the entire team that worked on the project i dont have anything to critical or major changes ill suggest that we implement i just i kind of feel this project cant get done fast enough the faefrmentz is growing and popular and the other element i appreciate you take into consideration is the flooding that happens on an annual basis. Yeah. Right at the freeway over on ramp so taking into account is really critical. Thank you commissioner campos. Commissioner cohen for those remarks you represented the portland and there know this is a critical issue that goes back many, many years so it is exciting to be here and i do want to thank the staff for all the amazing work in making this happen in terms of the funding i wanted to make sure were we have a birth sense of the timing when do you think youll come back to us and in terms of the Funding Options when will we know if these are available so for this project and whats the timeline for that. Right in the next quarter. Yeah. In the next quarter thats exactly what we are working on were doing outreach this month to make sure the design is right. Okay. For everybody and cost estimates reflecting the designs and looking at the grant cycle so we know okay. The next cycle of tsa is coming up in march can we agree mta thats the level of detail on the funding now. And then im actually to the executive director. Ill add tilly chang to bring forward the capital that you have in district 9 to help advance the design even as we work or solidifying those and take the recommendations and move them straight into design. I think a couple of us will turn both pumpkins on january 8th so if theres anything that can be done prior to that whether here at the county Transportation Authority the board of supervisors but also the regional bodies like mtc if there is something specific source of funding were tavsht if you can let us know so were advocating for that.
