A pause, possibly in tariffs due to go up next week. There is a lot more we have to hear from both sides on the details of any truce. We should emphasize, we are not expecting the brand bargain, if you will today. This is not a major deal to resolve all the differences and bring peace to the trade wars, but something to put a pause on things. Have the media itself can there has been disagreement between the president and Robert Lighthizer and the vice premier of what is going on. Is the price of the tariffs. If the president postpones the tariffs, does that give us an idea they are on the road to something bigger, or is it a temporary truce . Shawn it tells us it is a temporary truce. We are a long way from where we were in april or may when they were getting closer to a bigger deal. Thereve been tariffs put in place. One of the things unclear right 110s what would happen to billion trade of tariffs that took effect september 1. A lot of details we need to figure out. This is a partial
Sunset tonight, so you are going to have a foggy gray finish to the day just like were starting this day for many areas, 50s and 60s is where were sitting right now 60s 70s by noontime under those mostly sunny skies still hanging on to the sunshine by 03 00pm and this is when temperatures will be at their warmest 60s 70s and mid 80s for most inland areas. Im talking today and the weekend just around the corner still to come in your forecast robin. Thank you john checking in on the 70 oh bridge pretty busy on the hayward side from the toll plaza. To the high rise and then its going to pick up after that so this is pretty good. No major problems here so far and youre looking at a very easy 15 minutes over to the peninsula. The bay bridge traffic its growing its officially jam from the bottom of the maze. Theres also report of a stall a little bit closer to the me relied so thats why i saw that tow truck rolling through with a flashlight. Any little thing like that does not help its not a
The level of capacity that certainly is central to this discussion allow us to much more meaningful and address the platform issues but also the extension of platforms to accommodate potentially longer trends in the future further assisting on the capacity side. We believe that approach will give us a level of flexibility that we may not standby 2 or 1 of the other thats part of what we will discuss with the board next week we think there is an opportunity of taking this evolutionary approach and ensuring we dont preclude our ability for the board landing in the future and address the needs of the cal train computers and the peninsula order. I would be happy to answer any question. I dont think i have any specific question for high speed rail i think that is a good summary i want to thank the cal train jpb the high speed rail that has worked on this i think this is i appreciate the history of the original plans that can train had i think i dont know how we collectively missed this earl
Goals of the tjpa and the city with this project is to Spark Development in the area surrounding the Transit Center to be a National Model for development where you have got the jobs and housing and recreation and shopping and retail and all in close proximity, and on this graphic you see that there is already in the transit city plan area, 19 buildings that are already under way and just south of the Transit Center plan area, there are eight additional residential buildings that are already under way. And if i am going to turn it over to the principle engineer. Brian dikes. I deal with the engineering and the process in the last two years because we have not reported to the board the train box it is under construction. What we are building is a shell and a concrete train box, but the above ground buses are over the beautiful building is going to be finished by the last quarter of 2017, and open for traffic. And so then, we go in to phase two, in the same area of the train box. And wha
Art. And so those are just some of the highlights of the things they really noted as the best praks on the projects so i will have the report for the board in december. And finally i want the board to know that we have been working throughout the year as we have in years past on the rail extension on the project we have been working with the rail and the federal Rail Administration and we hear about the work and the advances on the engineering on the bath front and updated the cost and schedule and reviews the various delivery methods as a path forward to delivering the project. We have been asked, how can we deliver the extension and what are the options and you will be hearing about the various objections and sources later in the presentation. I should add that some time ago we briefed the board on a study that we asked sifel consulting to conduct. What benefits will come as a result of having a new Transit Center with the buses and rail and marks and the report has been completed an
