Concord 47 degrees on this friday morning. It will be warmer to finish and heading out the door it is dry but it is foggy in places. Son of a 7 21 and this afternoon we are in the 60s again in parts of the east bay. A little bit of a bump in temps as High Pressure noses its way into california but not for long. There is rain on the way coming saturday night through sunday morning and that will lead to an unsettled week ahead. In the meantime temperatures will be in the low 60s today. City in San Francisco and 64 in san jose and 57 napa. 89 in fairfield. And we do have some rain had. We cover that detail with the weather but first lets get with the traffic. We are getting reports of a trouble spot along 237. An accident involving a big rig. It is affecting both directions. Not a lot of information just yet but chp is headed to the scene. It looks like we are starting to see a few brake lights. Again, at least one lane blocked in both directions. It looks like the big rig may have gone f
Pretty clear theres not a lot of mystery here. Our buildings are a big part of the story. And where those emissions are coming from, cyndy will talk a little bit about that. But more and more, they are coming from natural gas. And while we will be developing a Climate Action strategy that you will hear a lot more about for 2020, we dont wait for that to be finished before we adopt policies along the way. And theres a particular moment in time now that is very important because the Building Code gets updated on a threeyear cycle. And we are and that starts now in 2019, the new cycle. So we wanted to weigh in to be in alignment with that statewide cycle. And im going to let cyndy take it from here. Good evening, commissioners. My name is cyndy comerford. Im the Climate Program manager. And im going to give a brief summary of the presentation that i gave to the policy committee several weeks ago. And so what we are here for today is to ask for your support on two ordinances that anthony m
The areas they did a study to see what energy loads were needed and what would have to be is stored on those sites. These were not all of the sites and it was a list of 67. And those were mostly schools, fire and other community centers. Not housing sites. Commissioner mar and do you know what the status is right now of moving forward with on on installation at any of these sites . The only one that im aware of from my conversations with the sfpuc staff who work on these projects is at fergg and marshall high where theyre piloting it. And thats the only one that im aware of thus far. Commissioner mar great. And then im just trying to understand the benefit of these installations so at the site, would that provide backup energy just to the school or would it serve a broader a broader geographic range of people that might lose power during a power outage . Sure. My understanding is that it was just for the school site itself and the reason that it was identified in part is that its an id
Electrifycation. File number 190708 concerning electric preferred buildings. Explanatory document resolution file no. 201909coe. Item for discussion and action. Commissioner sullivan is going to do the actual motion. Thank you. Save your voice. Great. So as commissioner sullivan can attest to, we had a really interesting policy Committee Meeting on these issues. And we wanted to ask cyndy our Climate Program manager to give you a brief outline of what was discussed not nearly in the same level of detail. But as lowell said, when you look at our where weve got emissions coming out, its pretty clear theres not a lot of mystery here. Our buildings are a big part of the story. And where those emissions are coming from, cyndy will talk a little bit about that. But more and more, they are coming from natural gas. And while we will be developing a Climate Action strategy that you will hear a lot more about for 2020, we dont wait for that to be finished before we adopt policies along the way.
Diving deeper we look at the transportation, you see 71 of that 46 comes from the private sector, which includes private Passenger Vehicles as well as medium duty vehicles. It is also about health and safety benefits. It is more about meeting a common goal, it is about making San Francisco a more livable city for all of our residents. The map you see before you is air quality and equity map. This shows that the particular matter, 2. 5 microns and smaller, sources of concentration you see are focused around our major highways and byways. The red is greater than 10 concentration. It is is adjacent to some of our more disadvantaged communities. As debbie also addressed, there is a need to address a zero admission future, reduce the number of vehicles on our roads while simultaneously electrifying all of those that remain. Getting our residents out of cars is the core of our transit first policy and the best way to reduce not only emissions but also congestion. Getting people out of cars i
