Here on earth, nearly a dozen buildings in San Francisco evacuated after a gas main rupture. We are live near alamo square with what happened. Susie . Reporter can, i am standing on mcallister street. This area was closed down since 3 00 today because of the gas main that ruptured. The good news is people can now come home. They have stopped the flow of gas. We have some video of the only person who was injured during this incident. A woman was taken to the hospital with potential respiratory issues. She is said to be in good condition. Here is what the Fire Department told us what happened earlier today. There was a crew working on a separate project digging into the ground. They accidentally struck about a four inch gas main. That sent fumes leaking into the air for just under two hours now. Here is how Jonathan Baxter from the Fire Department described what happened. If you listen carefully, you can hear the hissing behind us. If you take your fingers, and you are looking at a four
I think ill just make a couple comments and thats just that i note there are a number of different issues swirling around this planning code change including both the design which is not before us and also the labor issues which are also not before us. But im really glad to see that through this process facilitated both with planning and president chius office we are able to resolve a number of those issues before the [speaker not understood] came before us. And i think it certainly will make for a stronger business presence on that corridor, having resolved many of those issues prior to this coming to the board of supervisors. So, congratulations on that work. Thank you, supervisor kim. Colleagues, are there any additional comments or questions on item number 3 . Okay.

Years. That was inadvertently included. Therefore our recommendation to amend the proposed recommendation to extend the contract by 2 years and we recommend you approve the resolution as amended. Regarding item 8, i should state, on page 35 of our report we note that the peninsula pipelines upgrade total project Budget Approved by the Public Utilities commission is 42 million, 42, 9300 and that is listed on our report. The listed requested funds on page 10 on the Construction Funds in water Revenue Bonds which were previously fwrieptd proerptd by the board of supervisors for that project. Our recommendation supervisors is that you do release the 10. 2 million and that would be consistent with why the committee released the funds in the first place subject to the Environmental Impact report on item 7 on your calendar today. That wont be decided until the full board meets assuming the Committee Recommends that out, a week from yesterday. So, i just want to note to you that our recommenda
Scale education program, and having more than 50,000 visitors in the building almost every year. A lot of our emerging artists to generate their first projects here, which is great. Then we continue to try to support figuring out where those works can go. We have been blessed to have that work produced in new york, going on to the edinburgh festival, the warsaw theater festival. To me, those are great things when you can watch artists who think there is nowhere else that might be interested in you being a woman of color and telling your story and then getting excited about it. That is our biggest accomplishment. Having artists have become better artists. What is. Sheri coming back to brava, here you have this establish, amazing writer who has won a clue slew of awards.

Madam chair one quick item to request of staff weve done a lot of Engineering Work on what to do with the mountain tunnel. The engineering report on that ive read it makes sense it recommendations that we basically build a second tunnel and decommission the first thats twice as expensive i request staff we have somebody other than who wrote the irrational report do a kind of a challenge investigation. The reason that you go to the separate tunnel is because theres problems if you try to repair an existing tunnel you take out of service a couple of the a year. Id like to given
