And we are increasing any and are able to use mark port for these because we have increased our spending for one and say its for half a Million Dollars and so in total we have 31. 4 million for phase two. And throughout this process, we have tried to keep the cost down but it is a big project with many components including the park and Ground Transportation and the improvement and is so it costs what it costs but we have set any kind of engineering to underline the operations and we have also looked to bring in other sources besides powter sources as you will see in the details of staff report we are at about 60 pmpt 4 million of port source and is proposing our share to 70 of the project and so we have be successful in sharing the cost with other source and is so with the identified resources. We still have a budget short of about 4. 2 million and we are looking at several ways to reduce that shortfall and we are continuing to explore the passenger facility charge because its such a g
Moving the project forward. Mike was a member of the caltrain board of directors and also a former San Mateo County supervisor, mayor of daly city and San Francisco Police Inspector and not only served on our board, but numerous other regional transportation boards and well always be appreciative to mike for all of his work in the area of transportation, as well as his commitment for those in need. We extend our sympathies to mike and his family. I would also like to thank director reiskin, because a few Board Meetings ago director reiskin suspected that suggested that we look into that and found its viable and could save us money and we modeled after the department of public works and caltrans regulations, allowing for savings during the bid submission and bidders will be encouraged to submit their value engineering proposals that will decrease the bid price, Construction Cost and if a proposal is accepted the savings attributable to that value engineering proposed are subtracted from

A left turn on hayes street [speaker not understood]. No stopping on monday through friday on sixth street from folsom to market. This was removed at the request of barry toronto. Good afternoon again. I came here specifically today to address these two items. I am not taking this lightly by asking you and urging you to really look at the traffic patterns and the traffic gridlock that occurs on the afternoons when you come from 2 80 to sixth street. And taxi drivers use this route constantly as a way to get downtown from the south part of the city and also from the garages. As you know, 99 of the cabs are situated in the south part of the city. And they need to get to the downtown area to go to work in most cases. Some of them will go to noe valley or the mission if they get call. So, its a concern if you allow the left turn going north on sixth street at harrison and then youve also allow for the parking on the east side of 5th street, you are creating much more gridlock. Calls almost
