Circulate to the public. With the two agencies we heard input from the community. The board, and faster implementation of this project. We have been developing what we will call an initial construction phase set of improvements. Bring a better travel experience to the corridor. These are elements for early delivery. After the environmental process has completed. It is we looked at at a subset, looked to identify a subset of the full project features including a bus only line from Market Street to spaniard avenue, and improvements including bus bulbs and other improvements operational improvements and pedestrian enhancements. The cost of the improvements, 15 to 20 million. The idea again is to bring the benefits with travel savings, and improvement and pedestrian improvements to the corridor sooner than the full project. In terms of the schedule this project is really three seems of work. We have the steps for the environmental process we would like to complete by the fall of 1015, and

Just heard from mark, and also to allow us to respond in between um, the hearings if there is an urgent need to approve opposition or testify at hearings. This is increasing the revenue. This is not just in general for transportation, but looking at ways to make it easier for local jurisdictions to help them out. This is includes a better threshold for transportation measures. It is also advocates for ways to distribute the setting in San Francisco, so in particular we will be watching the cap and trade discussions as they move forward next year and the active Transportation Program discussions. And another thing to support San Francisco priority projects. This is advancing highspeed rail, including the cal train and the city vision zero effort. So many bills last year, as mark referenced that were aimed at dealing with motorcyclists and infarctions against bikers and pedestrians. We will be following those and any other transportation. And we will be supporting mtas effort as we indic
Approved in july of 2013. Were doing now to seek the authority to contract directly with the Planning Department for this work. The other set of action items is about the professional services contract. Were seeking two actions here. One is to assign the contract from the Jacob Engineering Group to a sub consultant on the team. Circle point. The work has progressed and the focus of the process has shifted to the environmental documentation. Circle point is the central and most Important Team member for this, for delivering this work. So it is just a much more efficient from the standpoint of delivering the products and invoicing administratively for the tral authority to Transportation Authority to have a direct relationship with circle point and also an increase in the contact amount by 225,000 the funds from this come from freed up funds that come from the prop k allocation request that i mentioned at the beginning of my presentation. That concludes my presentation. Im happy to answe
Benefits with travel savings, and improvement and pedestrian improvements to the corridor sooner than the full project. In terms of the schedule this project is really three seems of work. We have the steps for the environmental process we would like to complete by the fall of 1015, and we would like to get started on doing the near term construction phase improvements doing conceptual engineering this winter and moving into construction by 2015 and 2016 and 17. We do want to keep moving forward on the full project. We expect to begin conceptual engineering in the spring of 2015. That leads me to the requested action items. The first of this is the memorandum of agreement the San Francisco Planning Department. The staff from the planting determine and the City Attorney are making sure that we are meeting the legal requirements. This is a memorandum of agreement to reimburse staff for their participation here. The funding for this was approved in july of 2013. Were doing now to seek the
