Not started. On july 1 with unannounced meeting with muni engineers and offices and select residents it was revealed that the contractor has no plans and no demolition or possibility of starting construction. These possible illegal notices create uncertainty for those that live in the neighborhood and for merchants that depend on a Hospitality Business climate and further reduce the credibility for the muni agency and the person should be replaced by someone who can give us accurate information. Further unlike the select meeting attendees mentioned before most residents and businesses in the vicinity have not met with muni or told of the impacts that the demolition and construgz will cause. Muni owes north beach some hard facts. When the plans are available schedule a meeting with all concerned and explain what will happen during the construction. We understand there are Hazardous Materials at the site and want to know how theyre going to be disposed safely and which streets will be us
Build. The Transportation Authority has been working very closely with us that they will hand it over to us at the record of decision but they have done an extraordinary amount of outreach to the Blind Community and others but many stakeholders up and down the corridor and because of their outreach there is the level of support as you say for the project. There is a lot of i mentioned Michael Schwartz because hes the lead on the environmental and i want to acknowledge the project manager, sherri dafrosty and one the one handing the keys over to the project upon receipt of the record of decision but we are working closely with them. We all have an interest in moving this project as quickly as possible and nobody wants to wait until 2018 and we are coordinated and committed to make that happen sooner. Is there a version of design build . So when when i was talking about delivery methods design build is a candidate. There are others and other delivery models that other city agencies and o
And here with solidity with the Community Living in their vehicles currently experiencing displacement crisis as a result of the over sized pilot parking ban and i am here to summarize some issues i realize that were not in the agenda but the outreach was supposed to be done by the sf hot team but we are getting reports that sfpd are doing the outreach and handing out the fly ares and reaching out to the vehicles and we believe this is a terrible strategy and increases police mar rasesment and the fear of being displaced by the police. Second, tickets have been written to People Living in their vehicles. From what we heard you stated in public it wasnt going to be before july 15 that tickets are issued and were here to tell you theyre issued and this could create a mistrust and we are looking to avoid that and nit to outreach to july 15 and people are getting tickets and will hinder that and lastly there has been a death of someone living in a vehicle in San Francisco that reported inc
60footers and allow for increased capacity of the 47 line. The project is currently estimated to run about 125 million in design and construction dollars. We have between 105 and 108 million in funding at the moment and that involves negotiation with cal trans and other agencies exactly what their contribution to the project will be, so there is a funding gap that were working to close. And finally where are we now on the project . Were finishing the eir eis, the environmental process and expect a decision from the federal government in september of this year. Weve already started preliminary engineering and are working on what the mta refers to as conceptual engineering report and essentially 30 design that will help lock down the final costs of the project as well as the total scope of work of the project, and we will be doing extensive outreach to basically everybody, the public, other city departments and other agencies to make sure that that 30 report includes everything that need
Which should get us all moving quickly. Thank you. Members of the board anything else . Any final comment . [inaudible] michael schwartz. Good afternoon. I am with the sfmta and based on Public Comment want to make sure people know where we are in the very near term and the final environmental document is available and as director reiskin said it will be certified by the board and we will bring it to this board in september and approval and adoption of the findings. Anyone that wants to review the project its on the project website and you can download all of the chapters and parking and 3. 5 that goes into a longer description of parking, anything you would like to see and anyone is welcome to send me an email if you have questions. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you mr. Schwartz. Director ramos. Yeah. The reason i think there was speculation about caltrans because its not Crystal Clear about the delay and there was speculation in the Public Forums what it could be and helpf
