Good afternoon chair wiener and supervisor cohen, nickelsen with the department of public works. This is a request to basically construct portion of a garage in the public rightofway. This is a very unusual portion of the public rightofway. Its on 24th avenue between lake and west clay streets. There are two other properties, which have a very similar si
The current design has three platforms. So there are six tracks. This was designed in accordance with the design criteria. Quick question. Just want to make sure that i have your handout that you are presenting. Did you make copies . I can give you my copy. You havent gotten copies of anyone. I dont have what you are presenting on the screen. I have it electronically, and so im not sure if my Committee Members do. If you could forward it to us. Why dont we do this. I can pass this over. Here is one. You have everything . Thank you. This is the layout in the current design. And the extension on the right is, in fact, the 2. 5 platforms, so most platforms is not low enough for a fulllength highspeed rail train.

A hearing on the Transbay Transit Center and downtown extension platform compatibility. Thank you, supervisor kim is the author and i would like to add my name as cosponsors to the request. Thank you, chair wiener and im glad its becoming before the Land Use Commission because it impacts transit for the region and certainly for San Francisco, but also because on Land Use Committee we have members of the caltrain board and the mtc as well. I think its quite appropriate that this is going to be heard before this committee. So as many of our transportation players know, as we move forward with highspeed rail and electrification of caltrain, there has been a lot of discussion on how we can ensure shared compatibility of vehicle and also platform heights. In the nearterm procurement to help us supplement and drive capacity and operat
Fraternity has now surfaced. It shouldnt be happening at a Big University like this. The way it was handled isnt appropriate. In the email sent 14 months ago, an undergraduate member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity uses racial slurs to refer to black, indian and asian women and alludes to raping women during rush week. To be honest i cant stand that we have group life. In a statement, the University President says the university became aware of the email on tuesday and calls it vulgar and says it expresses views that are reprehensible to the campus community. After even like the u. V. A. Thing, i think its tragic. He added the investigation led by the University Office of public misconduct is under way and part of the probe will include trying to see if that email was written and sent from inside the frat house here. Today, students inside prefer not to comment. The fraternitys National Chapter did take swift action sending a statement saying upon learning of the email the individual was
