Item. Item 7a, executive directors report. Good afternoon, Port Commissioners. Ment members of the public, members of the port staff, welcome here today. I just have a couple of very quick and happy items to report on, starting with milestone update on our pier 431 2 project. You may recall that that is part of the bay trail and lays atop the seawall in Fishermans Wharf between where blue and gold sweet calls and the san friscan restaurant. Constructing a new waterfront concrete promenade from powell street to the franciscan restaurant. Our contractor there is vortex marine. They have been working rather diligently including saturdays most of the last month and will continue to work saturdays through thanksgiving with the goal of completing the project to substantial completion by thanksgiving. So far, 92 twofoot wide diameter concrete piles each of which are 100 feet in length, support the new wharf deck and that deck will go along the promenade there and come around behind the franci
Second. I havent used this touch pad before. Im jay ock in the maritime department. Maritime regulatory and Environmental Affairs manager. This that capability i manage the ports dredging program and quality air program.
