Reduce construction impacts on our traveling public, and San Francisco communities. As it relates to our division, capital programs and construction we call cpmc deliver capital mta plan revolves around four basic categories of work. Shown on this slide, they include system Safety Security project, system expansion, state of good repair. Of thea category projects, the one that requires probably the most coordination and interface with our city Family Partners is probably state of good repair. These are projects like our major road replacement, projects on lrv cable car lines, or overhead contact wire replacements for trolley coaches and lrvs. This can be caused by sfmta upgrades, but they can also be caused by the result of work by other departments as well.

And i know we ideally would love it that one agency ends and the next day agency picks up where it left off. How do the departments work to minimize the gaps between the projects . Because ive seen this in my district a few times from beginning to end it can take an awfully long time. How are you all trying to minimize those gaps . One of the main ways to minimize the gaps is to create what we just called joint projects. What that entails, there would be one contractor that does all the work instead of multiple contractors with multiple schedules. A joint contract will create just one contract with water, sewer, and paving, all tied into one. And to minimize the disruption, it is in a linear fashion. First sewer goes in because its the leest utility, followed by water, and then finally by the paving. But it has to be in a linear fashion.

We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold
