I think that that is the challenge for both entities that they are both looking to get the broadest number of bids and the, you know, the broadest swath of the companies and it is different for either. And so there is going to have to be a give from one or the other, or there is some Creative Solutions that i can cant conceive of in terms of how to get that and i think, you know, just speaking from San Francisco, and from transbay joint powers authority, you know, our highest preference and need is really a common boarding platform, just because we are constricted in spa is space for the tunnel and the under grouped and we cant change that shape and it might be possible in san jose, and i dont know inaudible at all to add tracks, and with the different boarding platforms but that, and we are not going to have that same flexibility and i would reiterate that from our end that we have to see a common platform and i am
Disappointing the developers, backed out of the tentative deal, discussed in early september. And however, we are pleased and we want to thank the board of supervisor and all involved for approving the resolution, for the formation of the special tax district up holding the cfd tax rates as outlined in the tcpd and it will be unfortunate and disappointing if the developers move forward with any lawsuits that will jeopardize the completing of the transbay, Transit Center, and the top park and the downtown extension and the improvements and on the second item, regarding the opportunity to revisit the uniform height and level boarding for cal train and high speed rail, i attended the cal train rail panel discussion, in Mountain View on september 29th. And the panel members, were dave cal train, and ben from high speed rail and brian from the tjpa project team, and thompson from the High Speed Rail Group and jillian the director of the policy of the city and county of San Francisco and thi
Those programs for the laborers up. About 13 percent at this point. So we dont need to over shoot Going Forward to recover back to the goal. Right.

This report will focus on two items as a focus to the report at the last Board Meeting on september 11th. And the first item is regarding the formation of the special task district for the transbay, district, and it is disappointing the developers, backed out of the tentative deal, discussed in early september. And however, we are pleased and we want to thank the board of supervisor and all involved for approving the resolution, for the formation of the special tax district up holding the cfd tax rates as outlined in the tcpd and it will be
