San francisco planning departments consider flood risk in the ceqa evaluations and flood plane areas are identified in the general plan. The state of california Sea Level Rise guidance document was just updated in march of 2013 and provide similar projections that we have in our guidelines. The California Coastal Commission Just released a draft sea level brie guidance policy document that when we prioritize to land in the coastal zone. In addition, the bay Area Conservation and Development Commission recently updated their bay plan to include guidelines for Risk Assessment for projects that are within the jurisdiction. And then a mentioned before, the National Research Council Published a document entitled Sea Level Rise from the coast of california, oregon and washington past, present and future which provides the Science Behind some of those guidelines. In addition, as you can see by this list on the screen, there are at least a dozen other efforts underway by different city agencie
Development group. Im providing a little bit of introductory overview for the presentation on the embarcadaro enhancement project that would be provided by Patrick Guerrero and [speaker not understood] at the sfmta to sponsor a city generated study to look at the embarcadaro corridor from the sort of the south end of Fishermans Wharf where jefferson and powell meet all the way down to king and third where we get to [speaker not understood] bridge to look to see what are options available for possible conceptual design to improve bike access in a safe way to address the preservation conflicts we have been encountering with the popularity of pedestrians and san franciscans, visitors attracted to the San Francisco waterfront on the embarcadaro.

So, i think thats going to be a real consideration because it is already congested for autos regardless whether you have bikes or not. Agreed. I think thats why we wanted to take the idea of developing a conceptual design through this public process rather than load onto ceqa and the other implementation measures because its too early for us to answer all those questions. Like we mentioned before, i think the implementation requirements themselves are going to be a public conversation about what the projects are and how you best meet that balance. I think you helped, i wasant sure hearing this presentation, but i understood how youre really going to change everything on the embarcadaro really as far as the bike lanes that exist today. I dont know that registered with me initially ~. Yes, and th

Have implication for onstreet parking along the embarcadaro, but you know, its too early to tell beyond that framework. I mean, what exactly that you can expect. That leads into a question, i guess, because there is only so much space. If we want to dedicate more space to bicyclists, i guess whats the give . Is it parking . Is it auto lanes .
