This is over a five year period thashgs is started in the fiscal year, 14, 15, and soar in year two of the five year period, and prop k, should leverage on funds to deliver, two neighborhood scale projects, small to mid sized projects and levelling is core to the prop k program and it continues to be core to the ntip, primarily on the capitol side. And there is also, funding for program, development for sfmta and to Work Together and to help to develop the projects. This outlines the amount of funds that are available predict and the amount that have been allocated to date and the funz that are remaining, we allocated six Planning Projects and three, capitol projects and in the subsequent, slides i will review what the status of those projects is. This is a map of p the projects that we funded, and the three capitol, and a little blurry on the screen and it shows the spread of the projects throughout the city. We have already, seen a number of positive results from the ntip program. From the projects that are out and run and this highlights a few of those out comes on the planning side. And we have been working to advance, the projects, possibly sooner, than they otherwise would have advanced. And including a wide range of Community Involvement that has been taylored for the project and you will see that demonstrated throughout the presentation, and the Planning Project, recommendations that the envision would become the capitol projects and establishing the pipeline obama the capital size, advancing projects quicker, and such as the v cha vez area or the projects that you will see further in the presentation and improving competitiveness, when the funds were put on the design phase and then it obtained the funds from the active Transportation Program, for construction. And so, advancing projects to show a demonstration of the local support. For the district one projects, for the district one project, rather, for this is annual , allocation, and as you heard, craig just describe the work that the mta is doing to prioritize, the capitol projects stemming from the bicycle strategy, this is picking a few of the corridors and the district one, and then advancing those as a stand alone, planning effort and this is for the safe walking and biking along the east and 23rd avenue as well as along a. Rguello. And we can mending improvements for further study and the improvements on the corridor and coming up with designs for arguello and has completed that work and has multiple rounds of ouft reach that has been conducted. And the next round of Public Participation on is schedule for january, 28th, from 4 00 to 5 30 p. M. And for the folks watching at home you can meet at the north east corner for the walk through that will be conducted at that time. And additional for this plan and the final report will come to the transportation, authority, board or sorry for the plans and programs complitty for adoption in june of 2016, as is the ka israel for all of the Planning Projects they will come back to the board for adoption. District two, the Planning Project funds have been allocated to sfcta for managing access for the crooked street portion which is determined the crookedest street in the world this is to evaluate and identify the circulation and we want to keep the streets character and manage congestion and avoid, spill over, but recognizing that there is, there is an issue to be at least, explored for how to manage this streets access. We have completed the condition analysis and we have done a first round of out reach, regarding condition and Solutions Working closely with superintendent far rals office and will will work to bring it over the coming months and bring a final report in may of 2016, a lot of these reports will be coming doo you in may june and july that you will be seeing several presentations on these planning studies. For the capitol projects, the lumard street, and this is the larger corridor, project for the pedestrian and transit improvements and this is to be done ahead of the cal transpaving project, schedule for 2018. The scope of work includes 19 but and pedestrian bulbouts and mta has been working on this for the last several months and working to complete, engineering and working closely with the Supervisors Office and with the public and also with cal transto come up with the design recommendations and integrate the feedback into the designs complicated as far as the number of agencies and there is a high level of enter agency, coordination and design and environmental and cost, estimates and construction. And so that is something that has been able to be advanced with the funds, and the prop k, funds are levelling as i mentioned the regional acting transportation grant and the general Obligation Bonds for the construction phase and it is an advertise indicated to be done this summer. The next project is the kearny street, for transit and performance and bike facilities and the project, limits are on kearny and montgomery from market to broad way and from washington to clay. Sfmta has reviewed, existing conditions and has been putting together, work for out reach, and plans to do the final report, approximately, one year out from today. Commissioner peskin has a question. I am new to this panel, and i have done a little bit of out reach to Community Groups in the area that i think that have actually worked with mta in the past that sounds to me like some of this has already been studied. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your staff is maybe we can put a little pause on this until we do that . Okay. Certainly, all right. Thank you. And i believe that the project manager is here as well. So he is hearing it first hand. And will Work Together on that. With your office. For the district five, the western plan, this has been a project that is focused on pedestrian safety, and security, throughout the project area. And i have a map on the subsequent page, but it is geary and fulton are the general areas for outlining the project area. 100,000 has been allocated and these funds are a community, based and so we are seeing the leveraging on the planning side and in addition to the capitol side. Mta is partnering with mo magic and the existing condition analysis, and they are nearing the second round of out reach, and completing that and will integrate all of the feedback that has been done into a final report, which is expected in march of 2017 p. And the 100,000 for the study and to minimize the impacts of the potential future development of the reservoir, and the future and current activity at the city college and the activities in the side, and the sunny side, neighborhoods and it refers to a set of strategies. And that are aimed at reducing the demand for the roadway travel and particularly, the occupant, vehicles and so one of the studies is to come up with an invin tory of possible, measures that may include, transit passes or permit areas, or etc. And we expect a final report to be issued in october of 2016, and the project team, involved with sfmta as well as cal trans. And just to make a plug, if you were interested in getting involved www. Sfcta. Org with a low on the left, high on the right, next up is cesar chavez. , and this is to advance the design of wider, multiuse or separated bike and pedestrian path to makeup grades, lighting plans, for the interchange, area. And so the public works has already, surveyed the key areas, and it is coming up with the initial, lighting plans, and mta has had a walking audit of the area and working closely with the bike coalition, and supervisor cohens office and other stake holders, and has actually performed a walk through of the project area. And this project stems from the transportation, authority, 2015, neighborhood, transportation plan, and for, a weak design for constructing the bulbouts with the planting at five intersections and in the area, and the terrace and the Public Housing sites and we are expecting to be completed in 2016, but we are working to get a revised, and this is part of the Parks Program which has been implementing a host of projects in 2015. Just a question, who would be responsible for maintenance . That is a good question, unless somebody behind me knows the answer, i will get back to you. I dont want to say the wrong, agency, so let me get back to you. Okay, because i am concerned, always, when we make improvements, and we beautify neighborhoods, and no one takes responsibility this happened to us on corridor with the trees and some of the improvements made and i just want to make sure that things that could be used to work with the folks who live there to have them actively involved in some way and i just want to make sthur that when the improvements are done, they are maintained and supported by the community in some way, thank you. All right, thank you for your questions. Okay. And the final slide, is for the current and the future scoping efforts and so the ntip, Planning Fund has yet to be allocated for districts 4, 6, 8, 10, and 11, so we have allocated for six and these are five of the districts that remain, to have funds allocated for projects. The ntip capitol funds are available for every district, two of the district to highlight, where there is active, project, development, and are district six, for the pedestrian, safety, and soma youth, family zone and this is for the Planning Project that the board will likely see in march. And also, for the golden gate, buffered bicycle lane that you will see next month in february as well as the mid block crossings at bessie and that will be a capitol project, actually the last two would be capitol projects. And in district eleen for the san jose, gene va would be for planning and working with the station area, and cac and mta and bart, ta and a host of agencies on coming up with the best projects scope to advance and working closely with supervisor avalos as well as the traffic calming locations in the area. And we also look forward to working with chair tang. As well as others, to advance, projects in the other districts as well. So if you have any questions. There are several, project managers here to answer questions, that you might have. All right, thank you very much for your presentation. And any other questions or comments from Committee Members .

[train whistle blowing] global warming. [whistle blows] some say irreversible consequences are 30 years away. 30 years . That wont affect me. [brakes screech] i have 2 job titles. Im manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. This building is multifaceted to say the very least its a Municipal Building that operates the city and county of San Francisco. This building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of San Francisco in 1912. He didnt have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. Construction began in april of 1913. In december 1915, the building was complete. It opened its doors in january 1916. Its a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. The building is built as a palace. Not for a king or queen. Its built for all people. This building is beautiful art. Those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, San Francisco had an enormous french population. Therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. Jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that San Francisco had to regain its place in the world. He decided to have the tallest dome built in the United States. Its now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the United States capital. You could spend days going around the building and finding something new. The embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that San Francisco is famous for. The wood you see in the board of supervisors chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. Interesting thing about the oak is there isnt anymore in the entire world. The floors in china was cleard and never replanted. If you look up at the seceiling you would believe thats hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. There are no records about how many people worked on this building. The workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. And what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today. This coffee memory i remember having coffee with any grappled. In the old days myelogram ma get together i was six or seven i made a faces a good face. When i was younger i know it did something to my body. Ive been Drinking Coffee since i was 17 really the only thing im good at i was trying to find out what i was good at i got a job at the coffee shop i decided to do that the rest of my life. I like the process of the coffee and what are those beans where do they come from oh, they come from a fruit. The coffee stays with me since i was a kid i grew up and opened coffee shops everybody. In the 8 i visited over 11 hundred coffee shops maybe more to see why people go to coffee shops were searched the beans all over the world from east afghan and tokyo. When i wanted to do was get into aspect of the personal coffee and the processing and Everything Else there was multiple steps in making coffee and we did have a lighter roost because of the qualities of the keep once you roost it it home gisz the coffee. One thing about the coffee they were special blends and i spent seven years on one blend so thats my pleasure. Each bean they were all chosen and blended with each with different cultural and beans is like people and those people give me a reputation i cant buy. People love you my clients love me they take me to the moves movies. Fell in love with coffee and went to the coffee shops the Community Aspect i really enjoyed. I think its important to have a place for people to show up and talk to their neighbors and recorrect. Your surrounded with all those behalf communicated i communities i love my city San Francisco has a good name my has every cultural in this planet living in San Francisco its a small city 7 by 7 but its huge. I really like the idea of staying in the neighborhood and living in the mission ive lived here the whole time and the community really stick to it people talk about seattle and portland now they talk about seattle and San Francisco. Or portland and San Francisco but San Francisco is definitely on the cuttingedge of the coffee scene in the entire nation. Theres so many romance in coffee is surrounds the sourcing of that and thinking about where it came from and how and coffee is wonderful. I know for a fact i was born to make coffee.
