elements, and they correspond to a series of lighting elements on the ceiling, thereby creating the very distinct space that is very well lit and very distinct from the surrounding environment. in addition to that, there s also a series of binges that move through the space that are eliminated, and it offers people the opportunity to sit down and gather in this location series of benches. it also allows you to move up into the transit center itself. the notion is night time shown here. it is very distinct. has a great presence in of itself, using a light and the benches in detail. small bins has a built-in lighting element in it made up of a cast stone material as well as metal and glass together. the light sources we are investigating at the moment are using led systems, which as you know, are quite long lasting in durable figures. the notion is establish this very wonderful space that people will gather to. they can into the transit center through this and passed through
it would probably be about 10 hours of different content. does that answer the question? and when would the different languages come in? probably sbir mitt ently. so she might use to represent one author in a variety of languages. she may represent one author in one language and move to the next author in another language. the led will tie the sign s brightness. this feature will extend the led life span and produce energy con summingts by en consumption. the currently proposed technology is modular and it s been designed with ease of maintenance in mind. if it were to burn out after sustained use, the led bar containing the it can be replaced with a fresh bar. this process can be performed by maintenance staff rather than an l.e.d. technician. so we ll end by showing you the final portion of this video, which is of the m.g.m. array entitled vegas. the technology used here is the same technology contemplated for transbay, the one big introduction to the design would
that concludes my report, directors. director ford: any questions on the executive director s report? yes, go ahead, director. quickly, if i can help in anyway, i am available. director, yes. director lloyd has offered to hold on any of the events. you are referring probably to commemoration events. yes. thank you, director. director ford: i know she stepped away from the podium, but really quickly, in terms of the ambassador program, a little bit more information on that. how many people aren t talking about will be staged at the temporary terminal. how many people are we talking about at will be staged at the temporary terminal? i just want to make sure i have a comfort level in terms of the number of people we are going to need. i know it is going to be a major transition for some folks. of course. we will have three employees on staff at the terminal during peak hours, said it will be there for a couple of hours in the morning and evening beginning the 21st, and
august 14 to demolish the ramps ago over the temporary terminal site across howard and beale street. contractually, we are limiting them to 16 days, three weekends, and two weeks so that mcgwire and hester can finish the terminal. the next segment of demolition will focus on the eastern ramps coming up to the eastern structure, and the heart of the demolition the new demolition structure itself, followed by the western lands back to harrison street. for the roadway over crossing, we have worked again workeddpt and mta. several of the streets have overhead timelines for the electric trolley buses. we have worked with dpt and mta. we need to coordinate any take down on our lands with that work, so a number of our closures are limited to nights and/or weekends, and you can see here in the color coding all of the yellow ones are night and weekend closures. the seven crossing, we will see some of that demolition work during the week, and some of the minor crossings will actually
disturb alluding to earlier. they re very settle and we ll get them more closely in detail. do you have any questions at this point? because this is the slide that shows the full design. looks like there s no questions. ok. you can come back if you like. there is a 3-d rendering. again, as i mentioned, the steel white beams, the columns, they re going to tie the white pattern of the victorian ties into these steel beams. on top of that, again, are the garden elements. we worked really hard both the france arts commission, the gdpa, as well as the pcpa architecture firm to choose the colors here so that it really would feel very warm and inviting as people move in and out of this space, but even on a foggy san francisco day, it still feels sun lit in that you re in a laurel garden. another image that shows the visitors passing through. one of the things that was really important to me as i designed this was that we would create an environment that would be nurturing to p
