And dedicate bicycle facilities and look at different transit options through there. One thing we have done recently because the eir process looks like it wont be completed until 2013, we looked at pilot on folsom street as a bicycle lane as part of that pilot and we are going to kick that off during this holiday season. We would like to see how it does. Before putting it into the eir, we are not able to see how these informed and this will help this project. Recently we did a county treatment or 8th street and a road which is basically the narrowing of the number of lanes. Townsend street identified with the area went through a similar traffic exercises with bicycle lanes and walking lane put in certain segments where there are no sidewalks now on townsend street. We looked at that maybe being a more longer term opportunity for the redevelopment for potential rail yards in the area. There are additional studies that look in the west soma area and alleys and working with Planning Depar
Central soma. A two and one way alternative will be used in terms of their lanes.

Trolleybus route. Second what we are doing now is there has been several concerns about the performance and the eastern neighborhood area. Weve been working an looking at the specific signal issues along the corridor. Some of the signals werent completed or werent upgraded as we had hoped were upgraded. We identified some areas. When will that be complete . Hopefully by the end of this year well have all of those complete. So early neck year you should start to notice significant difference in the areas where the t gets stuck in bottle neck where it makes the right and left turn and down towards mission bay and we should start to see that signal working more effectively and we should start to see more customer experience. Obviously that is not enough, we know there is specific Network Capacity issues we need to work on and the area around 4th and king is going to be an on going issue so we can get to relive relieve that bottle neck. This is the capacity issues on the rail networks. The
Were your priorities . These from the bike plan from the 2006 bicycle plan and we are at the tail end of the bicycle plan and we are releasing all the projects and now we are going to a dramatic set of projects now. The projects that are in design you have a lot of stuff at least two, 16 street and Caesar Chavez connecting from east to west but nothing from north to south. I have heard a lot of complaints and challenges around illinois that are part of 3rd street. That is part of the design upgrade. As far as these projects now, we are developing two categories of improvements and well be working with many stake holders to develop that. One is to close the gaps in the existing network and the second category is to create to identify the gap closures that doesnt exist now. Even to identify these, where the gap is going to be closed an some of the east and west connection in the eastern neighborhoods in the water front area. That will be part of that process. Almost the be process in eng
Transit component and looking at Pedestrian Safety as well. The folsom corridor that were identified in the project were focused on the central corridor in the Environmental Impact report that was looking on how to manage and improve the Street Network through so many so soma. Its been named central soma. A two and one way alternative will be used in terms of their lanes.
