Discuss regarding proposed service and route changes as part of the transit effectiveness project including a ten percent increase of service and crowdedness and lower ship rideness. Same comments. If you can just give us one minute so we can just check and make sure that staff arent out there unaware of the change and schedule. I guess we could do budget first. Yeah. Or you could start Public Comment before the presentation. No. Got. So are you ready for the budget mr. Risken. I just sent my budget director out to find the other folks. So we could move to the budget item, maybe our change in schedule caught folks off guard. Okay. Item 13, presentation discussion of the fy 15, 16 operating budget including possible changes to various fairs, fees, rates and charges, possible new Revenue Sources and new expenditures and expenditure reduction and the discussion of fy 1516 Capital Budget.

Been focusing on those corridors and the areas that are outlined in the black, theres 50 miles that the board requested us to focus on. Weve been working to prioritize those areas. We try to make them more like the areas thats in green so theres high capacity corridors continuous. In the five year vip recommendation, and again, this is a recommendation. The initial back strategy had three scenarios, one was the business as usual scenario which was without current funding and a Strategic Fund scenario, and what we need to fund to get us to that nine percent fund and a build out category, so what is it going to take to shift the needle on bicycling in San Francisco to make it really its full potential. That slide in particular is showing the estimated cost of the Strategic Plan scenario which was 190 million if in addition to what we have. The number is getting close to half that number we need, but were still short obviously from what we need to do. When we were looking at the specific
