A
As
always,
a
few
housekeeping
items
for
any
SAG
members
or
members
of
the
public
who
parked
downstairs,
please
get
validated
before
the
end
of
the
meeting,
so
that
you
don't
get
stuck
downstairs
like
three
weeks
ago
for
several
of
us,
we
were
stuck
downstairs
for
quite
a
while.
So
take
your
time
in
the
middle
of
whether
it's
public
comment
or
in
between
a
break
or
one
of
the
presentations
just
make
sure
you
get
validated
welcome
to
our
third
meeting
together.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
A
But
you
you
might
get
called
upon
during
a
power
player
or
something
we
don't
know
so
more
housekeeping.
You
know
I've
done
a
pretty
bad
job
of
just
introducing
the
team
over
the
last
several
meetings.
So
I
just
want
to
do
kind
of
a
quick
round
of
introductions.
I'm
gonna
ask
them
to
stand
and
wave
most
of
them
are
behind
you
and,
as
we
start
to
flow
into
some
of
the
solution
groups,
some
of
the
regional
and
citywide
meetings,
you're
gonna,
see
more
of
these
faces,
and
so
I
just
want
to
do
that.
A
I
think
all
of
you
know:
Kim
Wallace,
deputy
city
manager
and
director
of
economic
development,
lauren
hailey,
who
is
one
of
our
project
managers
in
economic
development
in
Google,
Dave
Javid,
from
plan
to
place
I.
Think
most
of
you
know,
as
well
as
Leah
chambers,
from
plan
to
place
who's
new
to
this
process.
But
you're
gonna
be
seeing
a
lot
of
her
and
then
Matt
Raney
from
Raimi
Associates,
as
well
as
a
Kim
Dorman
from
Raymond
associates
and
then
there's
several
staff
or
I.
A
Don't
know
several
because
there
is
a
playoff
games,
but
Nancy
Klein
in
the
office
as
well
as
Bill
at
Kern,
who
is
a
season
ticket
holder
to
the
Sharks
and
not
here
right
now,
but
you're
gonna
be
meeting
him
during
the
walking
tours
so
you'll
be
seeing
these
faces.
You
know
throughout
the
rest
of
the
process.
I'll
try
a
new,
a
better
job
of
reminding
you
who
they
are
and
when
they'll
be
here.
Last
but
not
least,
can
I
get
a
quick
approval
for
the
minutes.
A
C
You
very
much
Lee
great
to
see
you
all
again.
Thank
you
for
being
here
so
real
quickly.
I
want
to
walk
us
through
the
agenda
for
tonight.
Obviously
welcome
introductions.
Were
there
now
we're
gonna
have
a
quick
overview
of
the
SOG
notes
from
the
last
meeting,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
got
it
correct.
If
there's
anything
that
was
missing,
we
could
talk
about
it.
C
Then
you'll
notice
that
we
move
public
comment
up
on
the
list
tonight
so
that
we
can
hear
from
folks
in
the
public
we
heard
from
from
people
throughout
the
last
couple,
saag
meetings
that
they
wanted
a
chance
to
talk
early
in
the
process
or
allowing
that
to
happen
here
tonight
and
for
those
that
want
to
get
to
the
Sharks
seem
to
be
able
to
do
that
as
well.
The
solution,
groups
and
walking
tours
we're
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
about
those
solution
groups
where
you're
signed
up.
C
You
all
received
an
email
about
that.
We'll
talk
a
bit
about
that
the
timing
of
those
solution
groups
who
will
be
facilitating
those
from
our
team
as
well
as
any
questions
or
further
questions.
You
might
have
about
those
and
we're
gonna
also
give
you
some
dates
on
the
walking
towards
which
we
got
finalized.
Recently,
we're
gonna
have
folks
from
the
city
and
members
of
the
saw
presenting
an
update
on
the
transportation
components
that
are
happening
in
around
the
Deardon
station
and
then
the
most
exciting
part
we're
gonna
get
to
hear
from
you
all.
C
During
these
TED
talks,
we
have
four-minute
TED
talks
planned,
there's
five
people
signed
up
today
and
about
13
the
next
meeting.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
But
this
is
your
chance
to.
Let
us
know
what
your
ideas
and
vision
is
for
the
area,
and
then
we
could
have
a
conversation
around
that
leading
to
the
solution
groups
and
then
we'll
talk
through
the
next
steps
in
meeting
schedule
coming
up.
So
as
we
do
at
every
meeting
the
saw
group
agreements
you
all
have
been
excellent.
C
This
was
just
as
a
reminder
that
we
all
respect
each
other
here,
one
voice.
We
don't
interrupt
each
other
and
we
get
through
this
process
as
smoothly
and
efficiently
as
possible.
And
again
you
all
have
been
great
about
this.
I.
Don't
think
it's
gonna
be
an
issue
and
I
always
like
to
mention,
have
fun
and
make
new
friends,
because
I
think
that's
the
most
important
part
of
these
meetings.
So
the
meeting
minutes
from
or
the
meeting
notes,
scuse
me
from
the
last
meeting.
C
We
hired
a
lot
of
good
feedback
from
you
all
and
from
the
public
that
they
really
appreciated
a
genuine
approach.
They
appreciated
a
focus
on
environmental
and
the
nature
components
on
the
environmental
components,
a
people
first
project
they
we
people
saw
that
really
highlighted
in
that
presentation,
and
then
we
heard
a
lot
about
wanting
to
make
this
project
distinct,
making
it
a
world-class
development
ensuring
that
employment
growth
doesn't
also
come
with
potential
impacts
to
traffic
and
other
environmental
impacts
holistic
perspectives.
C
So
this
just
kind
of
captures
some
of
that
input
that
we
received
from
you
all,
and
that
was
all
included
in
those
summary
notes
that
are
now
up
on
the
website
as
well.
We
also
asked
to
get
some
additional
input
about
the
data
that
we
provided
so
far.
The
information
we
provided,
obviously
that's
going
to
be
an
ongoing
continual
process,
as
we
gather
data
internally
we'll
be
sharing
that
with
you
all
and
that
will
feed
directly
into
the
solution
group
process.
This
was
some
of
the
input
we
got
from.
C
You
all
was
to
concerned
about
the
radius
that
we
were
using
so
we'll
take
another
look
at
that
and
make
sure
we
have
that
correct
in
terms
of
how
much
we
capture
how
much
area
we
capture
folks
mentioned
that
maybe
looking
at
a
half
mile
versus
only
a
quarter
mile
might
be
more
relevant
to
kind
of
pick
up
at
ten
mile
or
ten
minute
walk
radius.
And
then
we
got
a
few
other
input
points
here
as
well,
that
again
we're
looking
at
internally
and
we'll
consider
moving
forward
and
then
other
data
Quest's
included.
C
Looking
at
data
on
homeless
encampments,
looking
at
the
SNAP
program
for
students
and
trying
to
integrate
as
much
about
that
we
can,
some
of
this
information
is
going
to
be
difficult
to
find.
It
will
probably
work
with
you
all
that
may
be
suggested
where
some
of
those
data
points
might
be
to
help
gather
those
as
we
move
into
the
solution
group
process.
C
You'll
see
a
few
other
suggestions
here,
as
well
as
the
other
data
requests
that
you
all
made
at
the
last
meeting,
so
I
think
that's
all
I
had
was
there
any
way,
I
move
through
that
fairly
quickly,
but
any
questions
or
anything
that
may
be
missed
from
that
last
meeting
that
we
didn't
capture
correctly,
you
want
one
talked
about
now:
no
all
right
great!
So
with
that
again
we're
doing
this
a
little
bit
differently
tonight
with
that
we're
gonna
open
it
up
to
the
public
and
allow
for
some
public
comment
to
start
off
the
meeting.
D
Hi
good
evening,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
putting
public
comment
in
front
anyway,
I'm
Gayle,
Ozma
and
I'm,
a
homeless
advocate
and
I
saw
on
here.
You
talked
about
homeless
encampments
may
I.
Ask
if
anybody
in
this
room,
if
you
could
raise
your
hand,
how
many
of
you
have
been
to
a
homeless,
encampment
and
talked
to
the
homeless
and
walked
with
them?
Okay,
so
that's
pretty
good!
D
Okay,
thank
you
I'm
here,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
the
homeless,
as
they
do
once
a
week
they
displace
and
they
sweep
19
to
20
homeless
camps
a
week.
That's
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
were
spending
needlessly.
I
want
to
make
sure
when
this
whole
project
comes
that
most
of
the
homeless
or
all
the
homeless
aren't
being
displaced
as
they
are
being
displaced.
D
Now
you
can
go
anywhere
in
San
Jose
and
unfortunately,
we
have
homeless,
sleeping
in
doorways
now
in
the
creeks
people's
property,
because
there's
no
affordable
or
low
income,
I
just
say:
low-income
housing
for
homeless
people,
most
of
the
housing
that's
coming
in
is
gonna,
come
in
in
five
years
or
six
years.
Please,
let's
think
about
the
homeless.
When
you're
walking
and
doing
your
tours
and
please
let's
not
displace
them,
because
they're
being
displaced,
every
single.
E
D
F
Good
evening,
I'm
sandy
Perry
from
affordable
housing
network.
Thank
you
and
we
just
went
through
a
rather
long,
lengthy
City,
Council
meeting
last
Tuesday,
where
we
had
hundreds
of
renters,
testifying
about
the
conditions
that
they're
facing
in
this
city
and
the
hardships
that
they're
facing
and
one
of
the
big
issues
was
displacement.
The
city
is
rewriting
its
Ellis
Act
ordinance,
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
in
there
is
the
city
cannot
write
an
ordinance
which
is
going
to
prevent
displacement.
F
It's
just
not
strong
enough
without
running
into
problems
with
the
incentives
which
developers
need
for
building
projects.
So
that's
the
dilemma
that
the
city
is
in.
So
what
they're
saying
is
that
this
displacement
is
going
to
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
I
personally
from
the
discussions
that
I've
heard
the
discussions
that
I've
seen
of
this
entire
Google
project,
the
displacement
issue
is
simply
not
being
taken
seriously
enough
when
the
Mountain
View
housing
debate
took
place
last
year.
F
There
was
a
discussion,
and
some
of
the
figures
that
came
out
says
that
the
office
that
it's
one
new
home
is
required
to
offset
the
impact
of
each
one
point
for
new
jobs
created
based
on
that
projection.
The
San
Jose
Google
project
can
be
expected
to
create
additional
demand
for
14,000
286
housing
units,
in
addition
to
our
35,000
that
we
already
have
as
a
Rema
goal
in
the
city-
and
you
know
this
just
isn't
working.
We
have
to
address
those
numbers
if
we're
going
to
have
a
viable
project.
Thank
you.
G
Hi
Brian
Grayson
Preservation
Action
Council,
although
my
comments
tonight
aren't
specific
to
preservation,
it's
more
on
processing
the
organization
of
the
committee,
you're
kind
of
a
hybrid
you're,
not
really
a
commission
you're,
not
really
a
public
body
in
the
sense
of
you're,
not
holding
hearings
but
you're.
A
public
meeting
and
I
would
suggest
that
you
put
the
public
testimony
at
the
beginning
of
a
public
forum
at
the
beginning,
but
that
serves
one
purpose.
It
defeats
another.
G
It
doesn't
allow
for
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
agenda
items
as
you
go
through
them,
and
I
would
ask
that
you
look
at
perhaps
incorporating
you
can
leave
public
input
at
this
point,
but
also
look
at
the
opportunities
for
public
input
specific
to
the
areas
that
you're
discussing
after
each
item
or
before
each
item,
so
there's
an
opportunity
to
actually
address
the
items
on
the
agenda.
Thank
you.
C
H
Yes,
I,
like
his
comments,
I,
usually
give
comments
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
to
address
issues
raised
during
the
meeting.
So
it's
a
little
hard
to
talk
at
the
beginning,
I
view
Google
not
as
a
danger
to
something
to
fear,
but
as
an
opportunity
to
improve
the
area
and
to
benefit
the
region.
I'm
excited
that
Google
will
use
and
enhance
the
rails
and
the
trails
in
the
area
to
provide
access
to
it.
H
It
allowed
to
San
Jose
State
and
the
dollars
will
help
benefit
all
of
the
community
and
I'm
glad
I'm,
hoping
that
they
will
not
be
an
isolated
on
clay,
but
will
mesh
into
the
fabric
of
the
city
and
to
be
environmentally
enhanced
the
area
and
make
it
a
vibrant
attraction.
I
wish
I
could
comment
at
the
end,
because
I
don't
have
specific
comments,
so
these
are
just
general
wishes.
Thank
you.
C
G
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Christian
Ilana
organizer
with
pact
I
want
to
echo
what
sandy
Perry
said
regarding
the
inherit
displacement
effects
that
will
happen
and
to
really
have
a
robust
analysis
on
potential
displacement
effects.
That
will
happen
because
of
this
project
and
to
look
at
the
scope
beyond
a
1/2
mile
radius
or
a
mile
radius,
but
again
to
reaffirm
that
this
is
going
to
have
a
regional
impact,
so
not
to
undermine
that
aspect
and
to
really
look
in
reference
to
what
happened
last
week
with
the
Ellis
Act.
G
If
there's
any
way
with
such
a
large
project
to
incorporate
some
sort
of
policy
that
can
mitigate
displacement
to
some
extent,
that's
unique
to
this
project,
since
it's
going
to
have
a
big
impact
for
habits.
Looking
at
protecting
or
providing
funding
for
rehabilitation
of
apartment,
rent
ordinance
units
within
a
two
mile
radius
of
this
area
or
something
along
those
lines
within
certain
boundaries.
I
think
that
could
be
very
helpful
for
the
preservation
of
affordable
housing
sought
that
exists
here.
G
So
any
policies
that
can
be
geared
around
that
would
be
really
really
helpful
and
again,
I
was
here
the
first
meeting
not
to
undermine,
but
to
also
look
at
the
historical
analysis,
around
race,
redlining,
racial
confidence
that
they
do
exist
in
this
downtown
area
that
did
exist
and,
finally,
I'm
encouraging
a
robust,
communicate
community
engagement
process
within
not
just
the
downtown
area,
but
within
all
areas
of
San
Jose's,
particularly
in
the
East
Side.
Thank
you.
I
I
So
I
think
it's
just
for
our
choice
as
the
community
and
as
the
people
in
power
and
the
ones
that
have
a
voice
to
actually
represent
these
communities
that
don't
have
that
voice
and
to
actually
just
think
of
how
impacting
this
can
be
to
people,
even
as
students,
families,
mothers,
children
who
are
moving
away
from
San
Jose
I
know
for
me
personally.
I
live
in
San
Jose,
but
there's
always
that
question
whether
I'm
gonna
end
up
living
here
on
my
own
well.
I
G
Group,
my
name
is
Ben
vu
and
I'm
also
student
at
the
ends
of
college
first
year,
I
live
in
San,
Jose
statistic
for,
and
the
mantra
of
Silicon
Valley
has
always
historically
been
like
the
saying
that
we
don't
look
at
the
past
because
we're
so
caught
with
the
future
and
from
a
political
lens.
That's
always
been
the
modus
operandi
of
San
Jose.
Ever
since
the
1940s
San
Jose
means
business
leaders
have
always
been
concerned
of
growth,
Lando's
NX,
add
massive
rates
and
much
to
delight
of
developers.
G
San
Jose
was
far
more
concerned
with
cooperating
with
developers
than
good
planning.
This
was
a
quote:
unquote:
paradise
for
developers,
lenient
zoning,
aggressive
annexation,
eagerly
supplied
capital
improvements
like
streets
and
sewers,
and
also
a
sewage
monopoly
sped
up
growth.
That
growth
is
catching
Lobos.
Today
the
Bay
Area
is
literally
running
out
of
land
to
build
on.
It
makes
so
much
sense
for
Google
to
come
to
San
Jose,
it's
it's
actually
in
their
master
corporate
plan
to
build
him
San
Jose
I
must
I'm
a
student
and
I
think
as
students.
G
We
know
that
that
is
in
the
future.
For
us
here.
I
have
friends
where
they
take
out
loans
to
pay,
rent
and
other
to
sleep
in
their
Priuses.
Their
second
row
seats
folded
down
to
become
makeshift,
but
this
this
isn't
normal
and
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
that
we
as
a
community,
what
to
be
specific
and
also
do
a
lot
of
community
outreach
with
our
demands
and
because.
G
B
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Roland
LeBron.
So
what
I
like
to
do
is
to
echo
the
comment
that
a
couple
of
people
before
me
made
this
group
is
subject
to
the
Brown
Act
and
therefore
you
have
to
follow
a
government
code
in
terms
of
how
you
basically
engage
the
public.
So
this
item
number
three
is
essentially
is
for
general
public
comment
for
items
which
are
not
on
the
agenda
and
as
such
you
don't
really
allow
to
have
any
further
discussions,
and
but
you
have
the
option
of
agenda
izing.
B
You
know
whatever
the
community's
concern
was
at
a
later
date.
Now,
with
regards
to
the
other
items,
you
must
hear
from
the
public
on
each
one
of
these
items.
You
can
do
it
immediately
after
the
presentation
or
you
can
engage
in
into
discussion
among
yourself
after
the
presentations
and
then
request
from
the
public
if
they
got
an
input
and
then
you
can
go
around
and
do
some
further
discussion
and
that's
what
you
want
to
do
well,
what
I'm
saying
is
that
this
is
not
the
end
of
public
comment
for
this
meeting
today.
B
D
D
What
is
it
called
like
Soviet,
Union,
Soviet
era,
mental
hospital
there's,
a
big
white
wall
I
know
I'm
supposed
to
make
this
this
larger.
If
I
followed
my
husband's
instruction,
but
you
see
they've
seen
in
the
whole
food
shopping
when
you
come
into
Whole
Foods.
So
this
is
the
kind
of
design
that
we're
getting
in
San
Jose
and
it's
really
a
problem.
We
need
an
architectural
review
board.
D
D
We
started
with
the
SA
P
Center,
being
very
industrialized
with
no
greenery,
then
it
spread
to
the
whole
foods
and
then
now
all
the
buildings
on
Stockton
are
very
like
soviet-era
mental
hospitals
without
much
greenery-
and
you
know
it's
very
bad
for
our
health,
as
well
as
our
property
values.
So
that's
an
issue
is
how
do
we
get
an
Architectural
Review
Board
that
we
can
all
agree
upon
like
Rolen
was
saying
we
as
neighbors
and
should
really
be
able
to
evaluate
the
architectural
review
boards
and
how
they
can
really
integrate.
D
We
need
more
greenery
in
our
community.
We
have
attention,
what
is
it
nature,
deficit
disorder,
our
buildings
and
our
environments
that
we're
building
need
to
be
much
more
green
and
so
around
the
whole
thing
like
the
way
Cinnabar
Commons
I,
say
that's
an
example
on
Stockton,
where
they
have
trees
on
both
sides.
You
want
greenery
on
both
sides.
You
don't
want
DG,
which
is
that
you
know
ground,
yellow
that
looks
like
dog
poop
on
the
ground.
D
We
want
greenery
so
anyway,
and
then,
of
course,
we
need
Julie
I
just
noticed
recently
that
Julian
Street
is
not
what
is
it
wheelchair,
accessible
there's,
no
way
to
get
down
with
Julian
with
the
stairs
and
there's
no
bike
path.
So
we
need
Julian's
Street
to
be
at
least
wheelchair
accessible
bicycle
accessible,
and
we
need
that
on
Stockton,
Avenue,
tube.
A
You
know,
quite
honestly,
I
felt
a
bit
of
pressure
moving
this
up
on
the
agenda
based
off
of
a
lot
of
conversation
that
the
39
of
us
had
together
and
did
say,
I
think
we're
gonna
get
some
pushback
when
we
do
this,
I
decided
to
do
it
because
the
next
agenda
item
we
have
which
we're
going
to
talk
mostly
about
the
transit
station,
Caltrain
VTA,
the
city
high-speed
rail,
are
doing
considerable
amount
of
public
outreach
on
their
own.
So
we're
likely
to
already
capture
a
lot
of
the
comments
on
that.
A
So
that's
why
I
moved
it
up
on
this
agenda,
but
I
do
think.
There's
a
certain
valid
point
of
we're.
Gonna
hear
a
bunch
of
ideas
here
tonight
and
that's
why
I've
tried
to
keep
public
comment
at
the
end,
whether
it's
you
guys
presenting
or
us
presenting
that
you
don't
hear
public
comment.
That
is
about
generalities
because
we're
not
gonna
be
working
in
generalities,
we're
gonna
be
working
about.
You
know
we're
gonna
be
working
together
in
specifics
and
ideas
and
aspirations.
A
A
Ate
my
presentation
and
I
want
to
go
in
three
weeks,
so
we're
gonna
accommodate
that.
So
we
do
have
a
bit
of
time,
which
would
be
great
for
sharks
fans.
So
you
can
get
home
and
watch
the
Sharks
game,
but
we
will
have
an
opportunity
to
do
public
comment.
That
I
believe
is
me
facilitating
this
group.
I'm
allowed
to
do
so.
A
So
moving
on
to
the
next
item,
solution
groups
and
walking
tours
so
a
lot
of
logistics
went
into
this
and
I
want
to
thank
Dave,
Mack,
Kim
and
Lauren
for
handling
this
while
I
was
out.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
everyone
that
signed
up.
So
we've
got
the
five
solution:
groups
and
the
first,
the
first
meeting
and
the
second
meeting
scheduled
for
each
one
and
so
I
believe
this
has
already
gone
out
an
email
to
you.
A
We
will
be
doing
a
reminder
at
some
point
this
week
and
the
following
week
to
individual
groups.
All
meetings
will
be
here
and
so
on
the
what
we've
decided
to
do
and
why
I
introduced
folks
so
that
Lauren
and
I
weren't
going
to
every
single
one
of
these
meetings
and
neglecting
our
families
where
we're
distributing
some
of
the
workload.
Just
as
you
guys
are,
as
committee
members,
we're
kind
of
distributing,
distributing
the
workload
amongst
ourselves
so
for
for
land
use
and
design.
A
So
we
told
you
that
we
were
going
to
be
offering
those
those
are
voluntary,
so
bill
eckert
who's-
not
here
for
me
to
introduce
you
to,
but
we'll
get
us
a
mug
shot,
send
it
to
you,
so
you
can
recognize
them.
It's
gonna
be
available
on
these
two
dates.
For
those
of
you,
I
think
we
did
this
three
or
four
times
and
the
good
neighbor
committee.
It's
really
helpful
to
just
get
out
there
and
see
things.
A
We
do
have
a
lot
of
maps
that
will
be
sharing
during
this
and
kind
of
showing
you
where
things
will
be
and
talking
about
station
footprint
and
a
variety
of
other
things.
Bill
is
extremely
knowledgeable
about
this
space.
So
you
know
he's
likely
to
tell
you
why
the
bricks
on
this
one
side
of
the
street
or
a
certain
color
versus
the
other
side.
J
Thank
You,
Lee
and
I'd,
like
my
panel
members
to
come
up,
the
partnership
is
gonna,
be
up
here
at
the
front
good
evening.
Everybody
we're
really
happy
to
be
here
to
tell
you
about
all
the
effort.
That's
going
on
planning
the
Deardon
station
area.
So
as
soon
as
my
panel
gets
set,
I'm
going
to
get
kicked
off
here.
J
So
we're
gonna
talk
about
the
Deardon
station
planning.
That's
going
on
between
the
four
partner
agencies,
so
here
at
the
table
with
me
is
the
four
agencies
that
have
formed
a
partnership
for
the
planning
of
the
Deardon
station.
We've
got
Liz
Scanlon
from
Caltrain
Eric
idolan
from
the
city
of
San
Jose
Department
of
Transportation
Jill
Gibson
from
VTA
and
Kelly
Doyle
from
the
high-speed
rail
authority.
J
So,
very
quickly,
what
you're
going
to
see
today
we're
going
to
share
with
you
the
the
efforts
that
we
have
going
on
here
at
Deardon
station
right
now,
we're
going
to
go
into
and
talk
about
all
of
it
different
projects
that
are
connecting
into
the
station,
as
well
as
the
international
best
practices.
What
you
actually
learned
about
during
last
summer's
tours
and
we're
gonna
go
into
a
little
bit
of
detail
about
the
Darragh
endeared,
an
integrated
station
concept
plan,
which
is
the
long-winded
words
about
really
what
the
station
planning
efforts.
J
Each
one
of
my
panelists
is
going
to
cover
a
part
of
this.
Eric
is
going
to
go
over
and
do
do
the
station
areas
planning
effort
really
what
this
station
spatial
diagram
is
gonna.
Look
like.
After
after
we
get
started
with
a
consultant,
we're
gonna
have
an
update
on
Cal,
train
electrification
and
business
plan
from
Liz
from
Cal
train
Jill
is
gonna.
Tell
us
all
about
the
great
news
that
we've
been
getting
from
BART
system
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
and
then
Kelly's
gonna
tell
us
about
the
high
speed
rail
authority
work
I.
J
Was
gonna
skip
that
because
you
couldn't
read
it
so
why
is
Durance
station
so
important?
Really,
this
really
is
the
only
place
in
the
Bay
Area
that
you're
gonna
see
all
of
these
different
rail
systems
and
transit
systems
come
together.
This
is
it
all
of
those
are
going
to
intersect
that
Dehradun
station.
Why
is
it
important
it?
K
It
includes
four
stations
configuration
so
starting
from
the
east,
going
west
is
Alum,
Rock,
28th,
Street,
Station,
downtown
station
Anadyr,
nine
station
Epidaurus
and
then
a
train
station
next
to
the
existing
health
train
station,
and
that
is
at
great
and
it's
near
our
into
the
line.
Maintenance
facility,
new
point
yard.
We
anticipate
passenger
service
in
2026
and
the
project
cost
is
right.
K
Now,
that's
to
four
point:
seven
million
dollars
and
some
of
the
good
news
John
alluded
to
was
we
receive
news
that
we
received
our
full
ask
for
the
tercet
application
from
the
state
last
Thursday
so
which
is
seven
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars
for
the
program.
So
the
outstanding
money
still
still
needed
is
from
the
federal
government
which
we're
asking
1.5
billion
dollars
so
scheduled.
We
are
wrapping
up
our
environmental
clearance
phase.
Vta
board
approved
the
single
for
option
and
certified
the
final
environmental
document
in
early
April.
The
BART
board
concurred
so
now.
K
The
last
major
milestone
in
the
environmental
phase
is
the
FTAs
Record
of
Decision.
So
we
need
the
green
light
from
the
fire
were
able
to
ask
for
more
federal
funds
and
in
advance
into
engineering
we're
anticipating
to
receive
the
FF
GA.
The
full
funding
grant
agreement
sometime
midnight
2020
with
project
construction,
starting
shortly
after
and
again,
passenger
service
is
end
of
2026.
L
Thank
You
Jill
hi
everybody
good
to
be
here
tonight,
so
I'm
gonna
give
a
quick
overview
of
two
big
initiatives
that
Caltrain
is
currently
working
on,
and
hopefully
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
first
one,
which
is
on
the
screen,
which
is
our
Cal
train,
electrification,
project
or
Cal
mod,
which
is
short
for
Cal
train
modernization
program.
It's
our
electrification
between
our
our
station,
a
team
in
here
in
San,
Jose
and
all
the
way
to
San
Francisco.
What's
important
about
it.
Is
it
converts?
L
Our
aging
are
very,
very,
very
old
Aging's,
tired
diesel
fleet
into
electrical
multiple
recalled
electrical,
multiple
units
or
electric
trains,
so
75%
of
the
fleet
gets
converted
in
this
first
part
of
the
project.
What
that
does
is
allow
us
to
offer
faster,
more
frequent
service
and
start
to
improve
capacity
on
the
Caltrain
corridor
and
retire
those
old,
tired
Diesel's.
So
we
also
were
the
recipients
of
state
funding
which
is
exciting.
We
currently,
this
project
is
a
roughly
two
billion
dollar
project
for
the
first
kind
of
electrification.
L
Tir
CP
grant
allows
us
to
do
some
additional
work
to
lay
the
foundation
was
important
to
us.
As
this
is
a
foundation
for
modernizing
the
Caltrain
corridor
in
terms
of
schedule,
we
are
in
construction,
there's
actually
work
that
will
be
happening
if
it's
not
already
here
in
San
Jose
soon,
we
hope
to
get
in
a
Revenue
Service
in
2022,
which
would
allow
the
75%
of
the
fleet
to
start
to
get
retired
and
we'll
be
running.
Those
electric
new
trains.
L
There,
our
next
big
initiative,
is
what
we're
calling
the
Caltrain
business
plan
and
we
called
a
business
plan
because
it's
two
parts,
one
is
a
long-range
service
plan
and
one
part
is
kind
of
looking
at
our
business
case
around
the
Caltrain
corridor
and
really
what
we
want
to
do
is,
as
I
mentioned,
the
Caltrain
electrification,
we
think,
is
it
think
of
as
a
foundational
step
towards
full
modernization.
Ultimately,
we
want
to
fully
electrify
the
Caltrain
corridor
again.
L
It's
a
it's
an
interesting
document
that
talks
about
statewide,
rail
passenger
rail
networks
and
how
the
Caltrain
corridor
fits
into
that
we
are
as
you're
going
to
hear
from
Kelly
a
blended
corridor
with
California,
high-speed
rail,
and
so
the
Cal
train
business
plan
is
a
strategic
document
that
starts
to
look
at
what
is
our
long-term
service
vision?
How
do
we
organize
ourselves
to
support
that
that
service
vision
and
ultimately,
what
are
some
of
the
community,
both
impacts
and
benefits
of
growing
this
stakeholder
outreach?
L
What
we
did
is
we
gathered
together
several
months
ago,
all
of
the
partners
that
sort
of
touch
the
California
were
organized
as
a
joint
powers,
board
Santa
Clara,
County,
San,
Mateo,
County
and
San
Francisco
County
governing
us,
but
we
also
have
many
many
stakeholders,
including
high-speed
rail,
in
the
state
of
California
and
others,
that
help
kind
of
think
about
what
the
Caltrain
corridor
should
or
could
look
like
in
the
future,
and
so
the
business
plan
is
going
to
sort
of
attack
these
three
fronts.
If
you
will,
what
is
the
service
vision?
L
So
how
much
should
we
grow?
We're
currently
going
to
put
six
trains
per
peak
hour
with
electrification,
that's
kind
of
our
baseline
and
we
are
going
to
be
exploring,
should
it
be
more
than
that?
What
is
possible?
The
state
rail
plan
suggests
some
pretty
high
levels
of
service
on
the
Caltrain
quarter,
so
we're
going
to
explore
kind
of
what
that
future
could
look
like.
L
Likewise,
we
have
to
look
at
what
kind
of
organization
do
we
need
to
support
that
we
have
a
contract
operator
that
works
for
us
and
actually
runs
the
service,
and
so,
as
you
evolve
and
grow,
is
the
organization
suited
to
deliver
that
service?
And
then
we
know
on
the
third
kind
of
leg
of
the
stool
that
we
have
community
benefits,
but
we
also
recognize
there's
community
impacts
with
Caltrain
and
that
we
have
to
sort
of
acknowledge
how
we
fit
into
the
community
fabric
with
our
with
our
growing
service
and
what
that
means.
L
I
want
to
mention
that
the
city
of
San
Jose
is
a
partner
with
us
in
this
process.
We
are
going
to
be
doing
this
work
over
about
12
months.
Our
board
is
very
anxious
to
sort
of
endeavor
this
work
and
move
as
quickly
as
we
can.
So
in
roughly
six
months.
We
expect
we'll
take
a
service
vision
proposal
to
the
Caltrain
board
and
hopefully
they'll
adopt
that
so
that
sort
of
sets
the
stage
for
what
the
future
could
look
like.
L
In
the
meantime,
there
will
be
community
outreach
around
how
we
gather
the
Peninsula
corridor
feedback
around
what
that
service
vision
looks
like
Caltrain
and
board,
adopts
it,
and
then
we're
able
to
take
sort
of
a
deeper
dive
in
the
second
half
and
then
ultimately,
about
a
year
from
now
deliver
a
full
business
plan
with
a
long-range
service
vision
attached
to
it
to
the
Caltrain
board
of
directors
and
I.
Think
with
that.
I
I
The
draft
2018
business
plan
proposes
a
new
path
forward
for
completing
the
valley
to
valley
line.
Originally,
the
valley
valley
line
went
from
the
city
of
San
Jose
to
just
north
of
Bakersfield,
but
under
the
new
plan
the
valley
to
valley
line
will
actually
go
from
San
Francisco
to
the
city
of
Bakersfield.
Our
first
priority
is
to
complete
the
construction
underway
in
the
Central
Valley
and
to
meet
our
federal
requirements.
I
We
did
receive
ARRA
funding
and
included
with
that
were
specific
requirements
that
we
needed
to
meet,
which
was
completing
a
hundred
and
nineteen
miles
of
track
and
have
service
in
the
Central
Valley
by
2022
and
to
complete
our
environmental
documents.
By
that
date,
we
will
continue
to
work
on
our
environmental
work
for
the
entire
line,
including
advancing
our
engineering
and
design
work
on
the
path
to
implementing
the
full
valle
de
valle
line.
I
We
propose
to
invest
funds
to
develop
actually
224
miles
of
high-speed
rail,
ready
infrastructure
on
the
two
lines,
one
in
the
Central
Valley,
which
is
that
original
segment
and
then
the
Silicon
Valley
piece,
which
is
San
Francisco
to
Gilroy.
Looking
at
a
blended
infrastructure
with
electrification
through
Gilroy,
our
goal
is
to
begin
testing
high-speed
Rail
trains
and
begin
service
on
these
two
lines
by
2026
2027
and
provide
early
benefits
before
we
complete
the
full
line.
I
M
M
This
some
diagram
is
proposed,
so
we're
basically
talking
about
a
tenfold
increase
over
current
volumes,
so
I'm
Darren
on
station
is
is
very
important,
so
and
I
think
for
many
of
you
who
have
been
involved
in
the
community
for
a
long
time,
there's
been
a
recognition
that
this
is
something
really
singular,
really
important
for
the
Bay
Area.
But,
as
you
know,
we
have.
M
M
Another
really
important
notion
is
that
you
know-
and
this
is
something
we
didn't
understand
so
well
in
the
1960s,
but
transportation
projects
are
our
sort
of
city
building
projects.
So
when
you,
when
you
build
that
elevated
for
you,
when
you
build
that
elevated
rail
line,
you're
actually
you're
creating
the
parameters
for
future
urban
development,
the
quality
of
life
there,
that
said
transportation
infrastructure
it,
there
are
some
pretty
strict
requirements,
for
example,
on
rail
lines
on
on
turn,
radii
things
like
that.
So
it's
important
to
get
those
things
right.
M
If
you
want
to
deliver
the
kind
of
service
that
you
need
to
bring
many
people
into
a
city
center,
but
at
the
same
time
you
don't
do
that
with
with,
without
an
understanding
of
how
that's
going
to
impact
the
communities
in
which
these
things
are
built.
So
and
finally,
if
you
want
people
to
use
these
facilities,
you
really
need
convenient
connections.
Overall,
our
goal
is
to
make
all
of
these
investments
competitive
mostly
with
the
car
but
competitive
with
other
modes,
so
that
people
will
choose
to
use
them
because
they're
a
more
attractive
option.
M
So,
on
our
trip,
we
we
went
to
the
Netherlands
in
France
and
we
were
based
in
Amsterdam
and
the
Netherlands
is
really
well
known
for
having
a
really
well
integrated
national
rail
system.
It's
also
well
known,
as
you
know,
for
prioritizing
bicycle
infrastructure
and
walking
infrastructure
and
I.
Think
really
from
our
triple
was
really
interesting
as
the
creativity
that
comes
from
constraints.
As
you
may
know,
a
good
part
of
the
country
is
actually
below
sea
level,
and
that
would
seem
like
a
pretty
major
constraint
for
doing
much
of
anything.
M
M
This
pretty
narrow
stretch
of
land
actually
creamed
sorry
reclaimed
from
the
the
I
River
so
anyway,
pretty
amazing
what
they
did
there
and,
as
you
can
see
very,
very
beautiful
and
pleasant
the
station
frankly,
that
a
lot
of
the
South
Bay
decision
makers
fell
in
love
with
was
Rotterdam
Central
Station
again
here,
pedestrians
and
bicycles
are
prioritized,
as
you
can
see
right
here
off
to
the
side.
You
have
very
convenient
access
to
light
rail,
so
very
convenient
connections
there
and
also
a
very
bold
architectural
move
here
with
this
roof.
M
But
yet
they
actually
there's
a
nod
to
the
Past.
They
they
reused
the
the
lettering
from
the
old
station
that
they
demolished
in
the
clock
tower
and
on
the
backside
here.
There's
a
there's
another
side
to
the
station
that
fronts
on
to
the
residential,
neighborhood
and
really
is
is
a
good
neighbor
to
that
residential
neighborhood.
So
parallels
to
here
in
San
Jose,
as
you
can
see,
I
won't
dwell
on
this
too
much.
But
what's
interesting
here
about
what
rest
is
that
this
is
the
busiest
station
in
the
Netherlands.
M
It
accommodates
300
thousand
passengers
per
day,
and
it
does
this
in
the
heart
of
this
really
quaint
nice
city,
with
many
buildings
dating
to
the
back
to
the
Middle
Ages.
So
so
anyway,
it's
very
hard
to
imagine
accomplishing
this
kind
of
thing
having
this
kind
of
a
transportation
facility
in
the
heart
of
a
city
with
with
an
airport
or
a
freeway
interchange.
So
that's
really
the
opportunity
we
have
here
with
them
all
these
rail
investments.
M
And
finally,
we
went
to
France.
France
is
really
well
known,
for
you
know
bold,
visionary
design,
thinking
and
political
leadership.
We
went
to
the
northern
French
city
of
lead.
It's
not
advancing
and
really
the
the
big
lesson
here
of
this
city
is.
It
was
a
declining
in
French
cities,
sort
of
the
Rust
Belt
of
France,
and
they
used
this.
This
construction
of
a
big
transportation
facility,
this
rail
station
to
become
a
more
significant
place.
So
you
know
bring
more
people
through
the
city
to
actually
create
a
more
dynamic
and
interesting
place.
M
Okay,
yeah
I
think
I'm
not
gonna
go
thro,
but
so
we're
working
with
a
team
of
of
Dutch
designers.
Actually,
the
designers
who
designed
some
of
those
stations
I
just
showed
you
and
they
have
a
pretty
compelling
concept
for
how
we
move
forward
and
to
galvanize
support
among
our
many
stakeholder
groups
around
what
they
call
a
shared
spatial
business,
not
enough
to
just
write
a
paragraph
and
talk
about
a
rosy
future,
but
actually
to
show
something
concrete
that
people
then
rally
around.
M
So
that's
what
we're
working
on
now
and
also
their
concept,
is
that
we
develop
our
organizational
framework.
How
we
work
together.
How
are
many
groups
work
together
efficiently
and
we
move
work
forward
on
that
as
we
move
forward
on
the
design
work
and
it
was
pretty
compelling
to
to
us
so
just
the
key
components
of
the
plan
here.
I
talked
about
a
lot
of
the
purposes,
but
the
plan
that
we're
going
to
prepare
this
called
the
concept
plan
allows
spatial
layouts
for
the
tracks.
M
The
rough
approximate
envelope
of
the
station
building
how
it
relates
to
the
neighborhoods
multimodal
station
access,
also
like
I,
said
an
organizational
framework
and
strategies
for
funding
and
implementation,
and
here
are
some
of
the
key
elements
I'll.
Let
you
review
this
in
the
meeting
packet,
but
some
of
the
key,
so
the
rough
project,
boundary
and
some
of
the
key
elements
that
are
are
influencing
our
thinking
about
the
station
area
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
John.
To
finish
up
thanks.
J
Eric,
so
here
we
are
we're
actually
just
getting
started
with
this,
though,
as
by
the
for
partner
agencies.
This
really
is
a
partnership
is
key.
You
saw
that
em
when
the
slides,
so
that
all
foreign
agencies
are
really
moving
this
comprehensive
idea
and
plan
forward.
We
will
be
actually
engaging
that
that
team
of
consultants
this
summer
to
get
them
started
on
doing
this
spatial
layout.
It's
going
to
be
an
important
project
that
we
want
to
have
this
group
help
us
with.
J
We
have
never
done
something
like
this
before
no
one's
done
a
station
like
this
around
here
before,
so
we
actually
need
all
of
the
four
agencies,
all
the
stakeholders
in
this
group
to
really
help
us
get
to
that,
and
the
line
with
a
really
great
concept
plan
for
this
station,
so
I
think
we're
gonna
open
it
up
for
questions,
and
how
do
you
want
to
do
this?
Dave.
C
Thank
you
very
much
all
yeah,
so
now
we
wanted
to
open
it
up
to
questions
to
you.
Yes
sure,
yes,
Lee
is
reminding
me
I'm.
Sorry,
we
should
have
had
your
name
tags
up
here
as
well,
but
if
you
can
all
please
let
us
know
your
name
and
organization
for
you
all
and
for
you
all
up
here
before
you
speak.
That
would
be
great.
So
as
a
reminder,
if
you
want
to
flip
your
your
name
tags
up
vertically,
when
you're
ready
to
ask
question
or
discuss
and
we'll
start
with
you
Nicole.
K
Brown
locks
on
the
Alameda
I
spent
a
quite
a
bit
of
time
in
Europe
this
past
year,
and
one
thing
that
I've
noticed
that
is
very
different
from
how
we
design
transit
systems
in
California
is.
It
seems
that
they
have
shared
objective
and
it's
to
get
people
to
nodes
seamlessly
where
I
feel
like
sometimes
in
Los
Angeles
and
in
San,
Francisco,
Bay,
Area
greater.
It
seems
as
though
each
stakeholders
objectives
do
not
align,
and
so
it's
curious
if
this
board
up
here,
you
have
a
shared
vision.
M
Yeah
Eric
I'm
in
city
of
San
Jose,
so
yeah,
like
I,
talked
about
a
little
bit
about
this
consultant
team,
we're
working
with
and
their
notion
of
the
spatial
vision
and
I
think
you
know,
like
I,
said
earlier.
A
big
stumbling
block
for
us
in
doing
something
great
here
earlier
is
the
large
number
of
stakeholders,
and
so
this
team.
What
really
stood
out
for
us
is
this
notion
of
us.
M
M
They
come
up
with
then
some
basic
parameters
for
the
station
building
and
then
presumably,
hopefully,
that'll
be
something
pretty
compelling
that
will
move
us
both
and
I
went
through
it
pretty
quickly,
but
to
think
about
how
we're
going
to
contribute
to
that
effort
financially.
Do
we
need
to
you
know
a
big
issue
is
giving
up
control.
We
realized
that
we're
gonna
need
to
give
up
some
control
in
order
to
are
for
the
greater
good.
L
This
game,
you
know
Caltrain
I
echo.
What
Eric
and
I
think
it's
a
really
good
point
to
raise,
because
with
four
public
agencies
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
competing
interests,
it
can
be
challenging
to
overcome
constraints
and
I.
Think
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
as
partner
agencies
together
to
really
kind
of
unpack.
What
each
agency's
objectives
core
goals
are
and
then
how
do
we
intersect
in
common
kind
of
in
the
common
good?
And
then,
where
are
we
not
quite
on
the
same
page
and
I?
L
L
We
all
have
to
lean
into
the
process
together
and
we're
all
kind
of
signing
up
to
give
some
level
of
control,
but
I
think
what
was
really
compelling
on
the
trip
was
the
expression
that
you're
not
going
to
get
everything
you
wanted,
but
you're
going
to
get
more
than
you
ever
expected
and
we've
all
sort
of
taken
that
to
heart.
So
right
now
we're
feeling
pretty
confident
that
the
agreements
and
things
that
we've
outlined
are
going
to
at
least
put
those
issues
on
the
table.
M
I'll
start
and
then
hand
it
to
this,
but
I
mean
again
to
go
back
to
what
we
just
said.
You
know
I
think
from
the
get-go
there
isn't
there
hasn't
been
their
resources.
There
hasn't
been
the
agreement
to
do
something
big
here,
because
there
hasn't
been
something
compelling
to
move
people
to
do
that.
So
we
think
the
first
step
is
to
come
up
with
this
plan
and
the
spatial
vision.
L
I
think
funding
is
going
to
always
be
the
challenge
for
public
agencies
and
I.
Think
what
we're
exploring
is
kind
of
creative
ideas
that
that
come
from
our
international
partners
around
how
we
think
about
that
and
then
sort
of
kind
of
chip
away
at
where
we
can
leverage
local
and
regional
and
state
investment
against.
Maybe
private
investment.
So
we'll
see
where
that
takes
us.
But
it's
definitely
a
challenge
to
be
solved.
O
I'm
bill
sellers
I
represent
the
downtown
residents.
Association
and
I've
got
a
question
what
you
experienced
in
Europe
did
they
do
anything
to
significantly
limit
automobile
traffic
as
part
their
strategy?
The
reason
I
ask
is
that
I
was
at
a
meeting
this
morning
this
afternoon
and
there
was
a
developer
talking
about
building
around
that
BART
station
in
Berryessa,
and
one
of
the
requests
was
to
add
a
and
101
exchange
which
seem
counterintuitive
to
me.
M
M
So
if
you
don't
recognize
that
and
embraces
for
all
aspects
of
your
plan,
whether
it's
the
development,
you
need
dense
development,
but
you
also
need
to
use
the
modes
that
bring
the
most
people
in
to
your
station
with
the
least
amount
of
space,
but
also
the
least
impact
on
the
quality
of
urban
life.
You
know
still
at
least
emissions
least
noise.
M
Oh
did
we
visit
so
this
station,
for
example,
has
500
car
parking
spaces,
for
it
says
right
there
for
300,000
people,
so
yeah
they,
but
it's
partially
that
cars
are
just
once
you
reach
certain
densities.
Cars
are
just
impractical,
I
mean
they're,
just
not
the
best
way
to
get
to
a
place
like
this.
Although
I'll
note
the
the
Rotterdam
example
that
I
did
show
actually
does
have
a
pretty
large
underground
car
parking
brush
7600
spaces.
That
is
not
just
for
the
station;
it
also
is
for
a
pretty
large
office
tower
development
across
the
way.
C
K
Gibson
with
VTA,
so
I
think
the
focus
has
been
on
Cal
train,
high-speed
rail,
the
city
of
San,
Jose
and
BTA
as
an
initial
partner
as
we're
organizing
and
executing
agreements,
but
certainly
we
will
bring
in
our
stakeholders
and
other
transit
operators
in
the
airport
would
be
a
stakeholder
as
well.
So
in
this
initial
effort,
you've
heard
from
the
four
of
us,
but
definitely
more
stakeholders
are
involved,
will
be
involved
in
well.
M
Just
it's
definitely,
this
is
from
the
consultant
team
and
you
can
see
airport
people
mover
here
is
one
of
the
elements
on
the
snap
and
I
I.
Think
for
many
of
us
to
go
back
to
the
points
I
just
made
about
space
efficiency.
You
know
the
airport's
a
place.
You
know
airports
aren't
as
space
efficient
as
train
stations,
and
this
is
a
place
given
how
close
it
is
to
dear
Adan
or
you
could
have
some
of
those
more
land-hungry
uses,
the
the
the
car
parking,
the
long
term
car
parking,
the
car
rental
facilities.
M
F
P
North
Willow
Glen,
Neighborhood,
Association
and
I've
been
an
advocate
of
this
dense
urban
station,
multimodal
etcetera,
etcetera
that
are
with
with
shopping
and
and
businesses
and
housing
nearby.
The
question
that
is
is
problematic
for
me,
as
North
Willow,
Glen
and
also
the
Gardner
neighborhood.
Is
that
initially,
when
the
high
speed
rail
wanted
to
come
in,
they
wanted
to
come
through
our
neighborhood
with
four
tracks.
P
Well,
we
did
a
extensive
outreach
process
to
the
high
speed
rail
reward
and
convinced
him
in
2010
that
that
was
environmentally
disruptive
to
the
neighborhood
and
had
a
lot
of
environmental
justice
issues
fast
for
and
they
agreed
with
us
and
they
took
it
and
withdrew
that
as
a
consideration
fast
forward
to
2013,
they
began
to
look
at
possible
extra
tracks
and
now
I'm
hearing
I
was
on
the
call
Kelly
with
high
speed
rail.
The
webinar
and
I
was
the
question
that
asked
about
three
tracks
that
only
got
half
of
it.
P
So
you
didn't
know
exactly
where
it
was,
but
it
seems
that
you're
at
least
going
to
come
through
my
neighborhood
with
three
tracks
and
I
hear
rumor
that
the
City
study
that
they
have
done
with
their
consultant
is
talking
about
four
tracks
which
puts
us
back
in
the
same
issue
with
destroying
all
the
progress
that
we've
made
in
Northville
Oakland.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
it
some
answers.
I
Hi
Kelly
Doyle
from
high
speed
rail,
so
Harvey
they
are
under
evaluation,
different
alignments
with
the
new
business
plan.
Our
environmental
team
is
looking
at
different
options.
They
are
looking
at
the
city
generated
option.
They
provided
that
to
us
they
are.
Our
environmental
team
is
really
looking
at
how
to
move
forward
under
the
new
business
plan.
So
I
can't
really
give
you
a
direct
answer
tonight
on
that,
because
our
environmental
team
is
looking
at.
K
I
Different
options
under
the
new
business
plan,
they
are
looking
at
electrification
through
Gilroy.
They
are
looking
at
items
that
the
city
provided
through
their
city
generated
option,
but
our
business
plan
is
a
vision
document,
so
we
do
have
to
move
forward
with
the
environmental
process
and
come
out
with
the
alignment
that
is
going
to
provide
the
opportunities
for
our
service
in
the
dirt
on
station.
So.
P
P
N
L
L
The
rail
planning
for
not
just
San
Jose
now
but
San
Jose
de
Gilroy,
all
the
way
to
San
Francisco
we're
trying
to
sort
of
work
better
together
with
high-speed
rail
on
the
blended
corridor
and
what's
the
balance
of
track
alignment
versus
community
impact,
so
we're
we're
gonna
get
into
it's
kind
of
a
preview
of
coming
attractions
for
the
community
working
group.
That's
scheduled
for
4:00
Wednesday
6
p.m.
at
the
Willow
Glen
community
center.
B
Matt
Vanderslice
with
Greenbelt
Alliance.
Thank
you
for
sharing
all
these
examples
of
these
other
stations
and
station
areas.
I
think
it's
really
inspiring
for
what
might
be
able
to
happen
here,
and
hopefully
we
can
take
the
best
ideas
and
use
them
here
in
the
Bay
Area
I
was
interested
in
the
discussion
around
the
interrelationship
between
these
major
transit
investments
and
the
land
uses
around
them
and
wondered
if
you
could
speak
a
bit
more
to
how
these
different
communities
have
have
looked
at
the
relationship
between
the
stations
catalyzing
new
development,
particularly
around
a
mix
of
uses.
M
You
Eric
city
of
San,
Jose,
I,
guess
what's
interesting
in
many
of
these
stations
that
well
the
French
examples.
Often
stations
like
this
one
in
need
are
are
built
on
centrally
located
brownfield
sites,
often
former
military
bases.
So
this
this
one
was
a
pretty
fortuitous
site
right
right
beside
the
city
center,
where
you
know
so,
there
was
an
opportunity
to
a
pretty
big
area
that
could
only
be
reknit
into
the
urban
fabric
with
a
big
project.
So
that's
what
this
was
in
terms
of
land
uses
yeah.
B
Psalm
chef,
the
head
chef,
Park,
Neighborhood,
Association,
the
neighborhood
immediately
to
the
west
of
dear
Don,
and
a
daily
Caltrain
user
for
the
last
10
years
there
at
dear
Don
Davina,
the
weeds,
a
little
on
the
VTA
single
bore
in
addition
to
the
single
bore,
I
believe.
Wasn't
the
the
northern
station,
basically
essentially
under
West
Santa
Clara
part
of
that
approval
as
well,
and
my
concern
with
that
is
it.
It
is
the
station
option
that
is
farthest
from
the
rest
of
dear
Don,
so
it's
kind
of
separating
uses
instead
of
an
opportunity
for
integrating.
K
Gibson
VTA
happy
to
respond
so
you're,
absolutely
correct
that
part
of
the
Board's
decision
was
to
select
the
dear
Don
North
option
and
the
VTA
is
looking
to
the
concept
plan
as
a
critical
piece
to
inform
our
station
how
we
orient
the
station
entrances.
So
now,
if
you
can
recall
the
site
plan
that
we
used
through
our
environmental
process,
but
those
are
kind
of
placeholders
that
we
cleared
an
envelope,
and
so
we've
got
some
flexibility
to
orient
the
station
and
connect
to
the
ultimate
future
Dehradun
station.
K
C
F
C
Okay,
thanks
for
the
input
Kevin,
these
are
all
these
topics
that
are
bubbling
up
or
gonna
lead
directly
into
the
solution
group
topics
that
we've
been
talking
about.
So
this
is
great
to
hear
this
information
now
and
we're
capturing
all
your
comments
to
give
more
kind
of
energy
to
those
solution
groups
as
we
move
into
them.
So
we
have
a
Glenn
and
then
I
believe
we're
gonna
wrap
it
up
with
John.
Unless
anyone
else
would
like
to
speak.
F
O
F
F
The
first
thing
that
we
have
to
do
is
have
some
place,
for
you've
got
to
be
able
to
get
there,
and
so
the
question
marked
for
you
is
what
is
San
Jose
doing
relative
to
the
planning
for
D
Road
on
to
actually
create
an
extensive
network
of
safe,
protected
bikeways?
That
will
allow
people
to
actually
utilize
that
25,000
space
parking
garage,
we're
going
to
build.
M
Yeah
I
definitely
hope
we
plan
for
that
size
of
I
think
you
know,
I
think
it's
one
of
the
great
stories
that
our
city
can
tell
is
you
know
I'm
actually
part
of
the
list
for
transportation
policy
board
in
San
Francisco
and
help
to
talk
about
what
our
city
is
doing
in
the
next
two
to
three
years
to
build
out
our
protected
bike.
Network.
It's
really
pretty
amazing.
You
know,
starting
from
where
we
were
in
the
past,
so
I
think
you
know
it's
definitely
a
very
high
priority
of
the
city.
M
L
F
John,
petty
go
from
packed
and
the
question
I
have
is
just
have
you
thought
of
anything
around
workers
and
low
low
wage
workers
that
will
really
depend
on
some
kind
of
bus
transportation.
Some
low
cost
transportation
there.
You
know
our
workforce
is
moving
further
and
further
away
from
San
Jose,
but
they
were
still
finding
employment
here
and
I.
Don't
know
what
it's
gonna
be
like
in
20
years
or
15
years,
that
will
entire
cities
be
built,
housing,
low,
cost
workers
outside
of
the
area?
F
How
will
they
come
to
the
area
or
how
will
we
link
people
coming
from
outside
areas
or
I?
Don't
know,
what's
gonna
happen,
but
it's
just
a
there's,
a
question
that
we
need
to
look
look
at
and
is
there
going
to
be
any
kind
of
investment
in
a
bus
service,
a
general,
a
general
bus
service
that
would
help
workers
and
transportation?
Has
that
been
part
of
you
guys
formula.
K
M
Q
Thank
you
did
she
you
in
Europe
and
they
have
a
different
system
around
the
economy
and
stuff?
But
did
you
look
at
some
of
the
systems
about
displacement?
You
talked
about
the
development
being
in
the
middle
of
a
city
and
this
this
one
actually
been
no
army
play
base,
but
that
you
look
at
how
they
dealt
with
the
communal
benefits
and
the
communal
displacement
and
issues
around
and
surrounding
that
if,
when
they
expanded
their
transportation
stuff,
did
you
look.
M
So
I
think
this
is
definitely
a
big
focus
in
many
of
the
French
examples
where
they're
redeveloping
like
I,
said
brownfield
sites-
and
you
know
the
big
difference
there
is
they
have
these
very
powerful
station
area
governance
entities
that
have
you
know
land
use
control,
they
have
finance
and
control,
and
they
often
these
projects
are
designated
projects
of
national
significance
with
all
kinds
of
additional
powers.
So
they're
they're,
you
know
maybe
federal
funding
to
to
fund
a
portable
housing
or
you
know,
job
training.
So
it
is
a
big
part
of
many
of
these
efforts.
M
I
say
in
the
Dutch
cases.
There's
there
I
would
say
a
little
bit
more
transportation
focus
the
French
examples
are
really
these
combined
transportation
and
urban
development
examples,
but
yeah.
So
there
there
is
a
focus
on
those
issues
on
whether
we
can
transfer.
All
of
the
lessons
is
another
issue,
but
I
do
think
there
are
some
transferable
lessons.
E
M
E
E
M
So
you
know,
of
course,
they're
there,
the
issues
that
you
mentioned
about
being
bald
but
there's
also
frankly,
just
a
different
perspective
on
time-
and
you
know
these
are
older,
civilizations
right
or
I
mean
you
could
debate
that,
maybe,
but
so
the
case
you're
mentioning
of
it's
called
the.
If
those
of
you
are
familiar,
that
the
petite
sense,
you
have
a
little
belt
so
they're,
they
built
the
first
story
of
this
filming's
thing.
M
It
had
no
structural
elements
and
you
could
you
could
build
through
it
with
tracks
later,
but
this
was
really
something
sort
of
hypothetical
that
they
were
planning
around.
So
so
there's
the
different
sense
of
time
or
a
longer-term
perspective
and
just
yeah
again,
more
powerful
government
and
more
more
continuity
in
government
as
well,
which
is
very
important
for
some
of
these
mega
projects.
Something
a
big
challenge
in
the
u.s.
frankly
for
a
lot
of
these
projects.
C
L
R
So
we
sort
of
working
working
with
the
group
came
up
with
this
idea
of
TED
Talks
and
that
is
giving
each
member
of
the
saag
an
opportunity
to
have
unscripted
time
we're
not
asking
a
question:
we're
not
presenting
something
and
asking
for
feedback
on
that.
We
are
giving
each
each
person
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
present
their
ideas.
R
Besides,
just
straight
information
sharing,
we
have
timed
this
portion
of
of
the
work
here
to
feed
into
our
solution
groups.
So
the
idea
is
that
we'll
take
the
information,
the
ideas
that
come
out
of
these
TED
Talks
and
then
that
information,
the
specific
ideas,
can
serve
as
the
launching
point
for
for
the
solution
groups.
So
as
we
as
we
heard,
we
have
5
5
TED
talks
tonight,
each
one
will
be
four
minutes.
We
are
going
to
have
our
timer.
R
We
will
be
somewhat
strict
on
that
Lauren
if
we
could
set
the
timer
for
four
minutes
and
if
we
could
have
each
of
the
five
presenters
come
on
up
to
the
front
of
the
room.
Here
we
have
your
slides
folks
provided
slides
or
information
if
they
wanted
to,
and
we
have
them
queued
up
here.
So
after
we
get
through
these.
R
These
four
five
talks,
we're
gonna,
have
some
opportunity
for
discussion
and
I
think
what
would
be
helpful,
not
only
questions
to
each
of
the
five
who
are
presenting,
but
also,
if
you
notice,
or
hear
any
themes
or
any
ideas
that
you
think
the
group
should
consider
and
that
should
be
brought
forward
into
the
solution
groups.
If
you
could
echo
that
that
would
be
really
helpful.
A
couple
of
quick
things
first
is
that,
as
Lee
mentioned,
we
are
going
to
have
public
comments
again
at
the
end
and
after
this.
R
So
if
you
wanna
speak
again
in
the
public
comment
period,
if
you
want
to
fill
out
a
comment
card
and
bring
that
up
front,
please
do
so.
The
second
is
that
you
saw
folks
moving
around
rapidly
here
we
are,
we
do
not,
since
we
just
got
a
bunch
of
these
a
bunch
of
this
information
from
the
SOG
members.
We
don't
have
copies
for
everyone
right
now,
but
we
will
have
this
up
first
thing
tomorrow
morning
we
will
have
these
presentations
up,
so
you
all
from
the
public
will
be
able
to
look
at
those
okay.
R
Why
don't
we?
Why
don't
we
start
so
this
was.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
an
experiment
here
we
I've
actually
never
done
this
in
a
group
like
this,
so
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
see
how
it
goes,
and
hopefully
we
all
like
it-
and
just
so
everyone
from
the
from
the
public
knows
these
are
these.
Are
this
is
time
that
they
can
each
of
the
members
can
say
whatever
they
want,
so
we
have
not
seen
this.
It's
completely
unscripted,
so
Shiloh.
E
H
E
E
Biking
is
15%
in
2040
we're
currently
at
about
1.2
percent.
The
reason
I'm
bringing
this
up
is
because
I
just
want
to
remind
us
of
this
is
our
goal,
and
here
in
the
JIRA
Don
area,
we
have
an
opportunity
and
we
have
to
actually
like
double
those
goals,
because
that's
a
citywide
goal
and
folks
who
live
in
Almaden
Valley
are
probably
gonna
stay
at
that
1%
biking
rate,
and
so
here
in
this
area,
we
have
to
do
much
much
much
much
better
than
what
those
goals
are
and
those
goals
are
hard.
E
It's
like,
ok,
the
ways
we
can
do
that
and
I'm
going
to
breeze
through
this
really
quickly,
transportation,
demand
management
and
trip
caps.
We
at
the
bike
coalition
work
in
to
cow,
and
we
see
a
huge
difference
between
those
cities
that
have
a
regulatory
framework
that
constrains
how
many
single
occupancy
vehicles
can
be
going
into
an
area,
for
example
the
North
Bay
Shore
area
versus
North
San
Jose.
E
It's
a
very
different
conversation
that
we
have
when
we're
talking
with
a
company:
that's
located
in
North,
San,
Jose
versus
a
company,
that's
located
in
the
North
Bay
Shore
area
and
Mountain
View,
because
in
North
San
Jose
there
is
no
trip
cap.
There's
no
requirement
to
be
limiting
the
number
of
people
who
are
coming
in
just
in
one
vehicle
versus
in
the
North
Bay
Shore
area,
where
there
is,
and
so
you
have
companies
in
North,
Bay
Shore,
who
are
trying
really
really
really
hard
to
get
people
to
ride
bikes
and
ride
their
shuttles.
E
Pleasantly
coerce
folks,
who
are
in
the
area
to
be
working
hard
to
get
folks
to
transport
themselves
in
different
ways
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
I.
Just
have
two
slides
that
talk
about
bikes
and
connectivity
in
and
around
this
area.
Again,
Glen
stole
my
thunder
a
little
bit
with
the
bike.
Parking
I
want
to
specifically
talk
about
bike
parking.
We
need
safe
and
secure
bike
parking
and
there's
this
great
video
that
I
have
linked
there.
E
I
don't
think
I
can
play
it,
but
basically
there's
a
big
cylinder
in
the
ground,
and
you
roll
your
bike
up
to
this,
like
these
doors
that
open
like
this,
you
roll
your
bike
into
it
and
then
the
bike
drops
down
and
it
spins
around
and
it
gets
parked
in
there
and
we
could
do
that
in
some
places
here.
That
would
be
awesome,
that's
the
kind
of
parking
that
we
could
have
and
it
would
be
safe
and
secure,
but
there
are
lots
of
different
ways
that
we
can
Park
bike.
E
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
bike
parking
and
then
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
highlight
was
just
again
and
Glen
said
this:
the
connectivity
and
the
flow
in
and
around
this
area
and
making
sure
we're
paying
close
attention
to
that.
We
have
to
trail
networks
that
have
are
supposed
to
meet
up
at
some
point
and
that's
very
exciting.
E
When
we
at
the
bike
coalition
ask
folks,
we
know
we
know
about
60%
of
folks,
say:
I
want
to
ride
my
bike
for
everyday
use,
but
I'm
a
little
afraid
and
when
we
ask
them
the
next
question,
which
is
well
under
what
circumstances?
Would
you
not
be
afraid
to
ride
your
bike?
What
do
you
think
people
say
a
trip
now?
We
also
know
that
we
can't
build
trails
everywhere,
but
we
can
build.
We
can
use
our
existing
infrastructure
to
create
a
trail
like
feel
feeling
on
our
on
Street
network
through
protected
bike
lanes.
E
R
Give
shallow
a
hand
for
being
the
first
one
here,
so
we're
gonna.
Thank
you.
It
was
great
we're
gonna,
hold
questions.
Please
write
down
questions
that
you
have
and
comments
we're
gonna
come
back
to
that
at
the
end.
Oh,
we
did
get
four
minutes
excellent.
We
were
going
two
minutes
in
two
minutes:
I
hope
it
didn't
I
hope
it
didn't,
throw
you
off
yeah.
We
gave
you
a
few
extra
seconds
because
of
that,
so
next
Jean
do
you
have
them
slides.
S
Good
evening
my
name
is
Jean
Cohen
I'm,
the
political
and
communications
director
for
you,
a
local
393,
the
plumbers
fitters
union
here
in
San
Jose
and
Santa
Clara
County
and
I'm,
representing
the
Santa
Clara
and
San
Benito
counties,
Building
and
Construction
Trades
Council.
On
this
task
force,
the
Building
Trades
is
made
up
of
25
skilled
craft
unions
that
represents
about
30,000,
skilled
construction
workers,
including
carpenters,
iron
workers,
laborers
painters,
electricians
and
the
compliment
of
folks.
You
see
listed
here
on
slide.
One.
S
So,
very
briefly,
what
do
we
do?
Our
members
and
our
contractors
build
and
construct
Silicon
Valley.
We
built
that
beautiful
building
right
there.
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
training
and
education,
specifically
our
apprenticeship
and
education
pipelines
that
develop
skilled
craft
trades
professionals
and
who
we
are.
We
are
San
Jose.
Our
members
live
here.
They
work
here
and
they
raise
their
families
here.
I.
S
Think
an
important
thing
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
the
table
is
some
brief
background
about
the
unique
opportunities
of
apprenticeship
programs,
as
pipelines
to
good
family,
sustaining
careers
for
people
in
San
Jose.
The
state
of
California
sets
the
guidelines
for
how
apprentice
standards
are
set,
and
then
those
programs
are
administered
locally
through
community
colleges
through
programs
like
the
city
of
San,
Jose's
worked
to
future
program,
and
anybody
who
is
interested
in
becoming
a
member
of
the
Building
and
Construction
Trades
has
a
few
different
pipelines
and
paths
to
achieving
that
process.
S
Specifically,
we
would
like
to
build
and
construct
the
residential
and
commercial
projects
for
this
development,
and
we
also
want
to
talk
about
pipelines
to
good
jobs,
apprenticeships
and
the
future
workforce.
Some
things
for
us
to
think
about
are:
how
do
we
strengthen
opportunities
to
ensure
that
local
youth
veterans
and
other
target
populations
have
direct
access
to
local
construction
jobs
and
what
are
the
long-term
opportunities
for
Google
and
the
city
of
San
Jose
to
create
and
establish
mutual
benefits
between
communities
and
apprenticeship
programs
that
provide
pathways
to
good
jobs?
S
One
good
example
of
this
right
now
is
the
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force.
They
have
a
trade
pilot
project
to
help
local
youth,
get
job,
training
and
partnership
with
some
of
the
building
trades
and
the
work
to
future
program
here
and
then,
in
summary,
some
of
the
opportunities
or
or
conversations
that
our
members
are
looking
forward
to
having
our.
How
do
they
contribute
to
designing
and
constructing
strong
quality,
beautiful
buildings
and
spaces?
How
do
we
create
paths
and
opportunities
for
family
sustaining
careers?
S
R
Q
What
we
believe
that
there
is
power
in
diversity
and
inclusion
in
every
aspect
of
our
economic
life,
and
we
think
that
diversity
and
inclusion
will
actually
benefit
us
collectively,
economically,
we
believe
in
development.
You
know,
I
made
the
statement
in
our
first
meeting
about
looking
at
our
skyline
I
thought
it
was.
We
have
a
pitiful
skyline
for
a
city
of
a
million
people.
Now
our
neighbor
to
the
north
have
a
very
impressive
skyline,
but
that
skyline
was
developed
because
it
was
the
world-class
City
over
a
lot
of
years.
But
Minneapolis
Minnesota.
Q
Is
that
one
that
really
shook
me
when
I
grow
into
Minneapolis?
It's
a
city,
less
than
half
our
size
and
there's
a
commitment
to
developing
now
I,
don't
know
that
they
developed
this
city
in
their
in
a
way
that
I
thought
was
economically
as
feasible
as
I.
Think
that
our
challenge
is,
we
know
we
need
living
spaces
in
the
community.
Q
High-Rise
living
spaces
is
probably
going
to
be
gonna
serve
us
very
well,
but
we
need
play
spaces
and
living
spaces,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
do
this
development
and
everything
that
we
do
going
forward
where,
if
we're
benefits
to
working
people,
business
and
labor
throughout
our
time.
In
my
time
here
in
politics
in
San
Jose,
we
have
always
we've
seen
like
we
had
a
process
where
we
dumped
down
everything.
We
always
have
winners
and
losers.
It's
the
quickest
way.
We
can
figure
out
what
we're
going
to
do.
Q
Google
is
changing
the
world
with
this
with
the
way
it
is
a
it
is
approaching
what
it
does.
We
have
access
to
knowledge.
We
have
access
the
different
way
of
advertising,
this
innovative
progressive
company
and
we
in
the
middle
of
an
innovative,
progressive
space
in
the
world.
This
spot
is
very
rich.
We
have
produced
everything
we
do
in
this
valley
seem
to
work
in
faster
world
for
a
while.
Now
we
just
paved
over
all
this
great
land
that
could
grow
almost
anything
but
more
innovation,
$4
now
much.
This
is
what
I'm
challenging
us
to
do.
Q
I'm
challenging
us
to
do
the
same
thing
with
this
project.
There
Google
and
all
these
high
tech
companies
has
done
with
information.
They
have
changed
the
absolute
world
right
and
we
have
been
negligent
in
how
we
approach
this
type
development.
How
would
how
we
approach
building
our
cities
right?
We
didn't
build
our
cities,
thinking
about
what
the
poorest
person
would
do,
or
the
mentally
this
third
person
they're
sleeping
on
the
streets.
We
have
not
brought
that
to
the
table.
Q
Q
This
is
the
challenge
that
I'm
making
to
us
that
we
can
strengthen
our
construction
infrastructure
by
how
we
approach
all
the
progress
going
forward,
bringing
small
businesses
and
big
businesses
together
so
that
the
small
business
can
develop
and
in
the
progression
from
being
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
a
couple
of
million
dollars.
We
can
broaden
our
local
business
approach.
Q
We
don't
want
to
set
up
a
spaceship
down
in
the
middle
of
a
business
in
the
middle
of
this
city
and
everything
is
contained
on
the
inside
and
no
and
all
the
businesses
around
take
doesn't
take
part
in
it.
People
should
come
to
the
twenty
thousand.
People
should
be
able
to
go
to
restaurants
and
stuff
all
around
us
are
all
around
this
development
and
not
just
have
it
self-contained
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
going
over
time,
but
the
last
two
are.
Q
We
need
to
bring
better
opportunity
to
the
labor
force
here
and
we
need
to
enhance
our
communities
with
the
infrastructure.
There's
a
lot
of
really
interesting
pieces.
That's
that
we
have
on
the
table
here.
I
think
we
can
do
this
where
we
benefit
everybody
and
that
up
losers,
and
we
should
always
consider
the
people
that
we
are
working
for
they're,
sleeping
on
the
streets
and
the
kids,
our
grandkids
50
years
from
now.
What
are
they
gonna
say?
We
did
because
I
think
that
we
did
a
bad
job
to
get
to
the
place.
R
Think
Thank,
You,
Rachel
I
think
we'll
definitely
wanted.
No,
no,
it's
fine,
I
think
we'll
definitely
want
to
dive
into
some
of
those
details
because,
as
you
said,
we
have
the
the
ingenuity
and
the
creativity
we
need
the
time
to
get
into
those
details.
So
we
can
start
with
some
of
that
in
the
in
the
Q&A
and
discussion.
Okay,
next
Kathy.
G
T
All
right
good
evening,
my
name
is
Cathy
Sutherland
and
I
am
here
as
a
representative
Delmas
Park,
which
is
the
neighborhood
surrounded
by
87
to
80
and
sat
up
to
Santa
Clara.
So
we
are
directly
adjacent
to
the
Google
structure
and
we
welcome
Google
coming
into
our
neighborhood,
because
we've
been
we've
been
anxious
for
redevelopment
for
a
very
very
long
time.
So
this
is
a
really
good
thing
for
our
neighborhood.
T
T
Okay,
so
this
is
our
a
this:
is
the
off
ramp
to
280?
That's
three
lanes.
If
you're
headed
north
on
280,
this
is
the
on
ramp
onto
280
north.
This
is
the
freeway
over
crossing.
This
is
another
on
ramp
onto
280,
South,
the
earth,
yes
and
then
the
off
ramp
from
280
South,
Delmas
Park,
is
in
this
area
over
here
our
kids
go
to
elementary
school
here
they
have
to
cross
at
grade
or
any
pedestrian
or
any
bicyclists
have
to
cross
three
lanes
of
traffic
here
at
grade.
T
T
T
R
O
So
this
is
something
that
is
obviously
of
great
importance
to
me,
and
what
I'd
like
to
talk
about
tonight
is
what
I'm
calling
the
chrysalis
project
for
what
it's
worth
I'm,
trying
to
be
creative
here,
I
I,
got
a
degree
in
marketing
years
ago
and
never
used
it.
So
here
you
go
anyway.
If
you
look
around
downtown
right
now,
those
of
us
that
live
that
close
to
dear
Don
are
already
in
the
middle
of
the
construction
zone.
Look
around
at
the
cranes.
It's
all
fantastic.
It's
all
good
things
that
are
happening
like
you.
O
D
O
Street,
2nd
Street,
Santa
Clara,
those
things
where
the
downtown
association
was
really
supposed
to
have
an
impact
are,
quite
frankly,
not
very
attractive.
There
are
empty
storefronts
and
what
I
would
like
to
say
is:
let's
get
a
jump
on
this
because,
30
years
later,
we
can
see
how
long
the
it
takes
to
really
activate
things
so
moving
to
what
I
would
suggest
as
an
idea
would
be
mitigation
with
some
sort
of
early
activation.
O
We
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
with
Google
a
week
or
so
ago,
and
it's
not
just
mitigation
and
hunkering
down
through
the
construction,
but
it
also
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
work
on
some
clever
design.
One
of
the
things
that
you
see
happen
often
and
I
saw
it
happen
at
San,
Jose,
State,
again
no
offense
to
San
Jose
State.
When
they
closed
San
Carlos
Street.
They
they
planted
all
this
wonderful
grass
and
then
they
put
pathways
and
they
they
put
in
cement
pathways.
O
And
after
the
first
semester
you
realize
people
don't
walk
that
way.
They
walk
this
way.
So,
let's
use
this
early
activation
as
a
way
to
figure
out
what
might
really
work
around
this
construction
site.
The
other
thing
is,
it
would
soften
the
construction
zone
instead
of
walking
walking
under
scaffolding.
Maybe
we
can
make
the
construction
itself
be
something
of
interest,
so
we.
O
Have
educational
tours
of
things
that
are
happening
with
construction
kiosks
for
input
virtual
reality
about
what
this
is
going
to
look
like
things
like
that
so
anyway,
even
many
design
competitions
for
things
that
have
not
yet
been
decided.
I.
Think
if
we
do
this,
we
can
engage
businesses,
residents
and
even
future
employees,
let's
bus
Google
employees
down
from
Mountain
View
and
let
them
check
out
restaurants
and
things
like
that,
so
they
can
add
their
voice
to
the
to
the
planning.
O
Part
of
this
would
also
be
the
ability,
excuse
me
to
anticipate
and
prepare
for
attracting
businesses.
Another
service
provider
I'd
like
to
think
that
this
would
be
kind
of
rational
experimentation,
not
only
for
the
Guadalupe
River
Park
revitalization,
which
I
know
spur
and
and
Leslie
are
working
on,
but
also
I
would
hope
that
if
you
look
at
Santa
Clara
Street
the
Alameda
and
even
all
the
way
up
to
Alan
rock,
that
could
be
our
Grand
Boulevard.
If
we
do
this
correctly.
O
O
Let's
engage
with
the
appropriate
people,
Google
San,
Jose,
Planning,
Department
and
others
and
I
know
I
missed
the
meeting
on
the
19th,
which
was
the
urban
design
guidelines,
so
plugging
into
that
in
some
way
and
then
participate
with
folks
that
are
already
working
on
this
again:
spur
public
life
with
Gale
and
Knight
Foundation
thank
God
for
the
knight
foundation,
urban
village
planning
activities
and
so
forth.
So
with
that
I'm
excited
to
get
on
with
construction,
but
let's
make
it
pleasant
for
everyone.
Great.
Thank.
R
You,
let's
give
all
all
folks
here,
a
hand
for
for
for
going
first
here.
R
Okay,
so
now
we
have
some
time
for
questions
and
some
time
for
discussion
and,
as
you
guys
are
thinking
about
your
questions.
I'm
gonna
start
this
off
with
I
guess:
I'm
gonna
treat
this
a
little
bit
like
a
panel
cuz
there's
just
five
of
you.
I
actually
thought
this
was
fascinating
as
a
group
of
five
here,
because
you
talked
about
fixing
what's
wrong
now
planning
for
the
the
problems
that
and
the
the
challenges
during
a
significant
amount
of
construction.
And
thinking
about
that
now
you
talked
about
business,
labor
and
residence.
R
How
people
are
gonna
get
to
the
station
who's
going
to
work
there
and
they're
gonna
work
there
in
the
future,
I
mean
it's
sort
of
a
microcosm
I.
Think
of
what
of
what
this
group
has
been
talking
about,
and
so
I
guess
the
question
I
mean
I
want
to
sort
of
start,
and
we
didn't
actually
plan
this
as
as
I'm
just
I'm
winging
it
here.
But
you
know:
Reginald
I
want
to
sort
of
start,
maybe
with
because
you
you
gave
this
great
challenge
to
everyone,
so
maybe
everyone
can
starting
with
you.
R
Maybe
everyone
can
say
here
and
then
others
can
chime
in
about
like
what
is
that?
You
know
that
the
one
thing,
if
you
think
it's
gonna,
be
really
critical.
That
has
to
happen.
You
know
what
is
that
challenge
to
to
overcome
the
mistakes
of
the
past
and
make
it
so
that
this
area
can
develop
and
develop
for
everybody?
Well,.
Q
Sleeping
around
the
streets,
there's,
the
housing
is
ridiculous
and
our
children
have
been
educated.
They
can't
even
live
here
all
my
college,
all
my
kids
graduate
from
college
and
the
housing
is
just
ridiculous
and-
and
we
didn't
plan
this
correctly
right
so
I
I
have
a
history
of
calling
our
generation
the
worst
generation
ever
education.
You
should
be
free.
When
I
was
a
kid
I
mean
we
could
go
to
college
for
little
or
nothing
it
now.
Q
My
kids
Oh
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
but
so
that
the
thing
is
the
challenge
for
me
and
for
us
is
that
all
the
issues
that
we
see
that
are
wrong
right
now?
We
need
to
consider
that
as
we
as
we
go
forward
and
develop
in
San
Jose
right
this,
this
committee
can
make
a
decision
around
how
we
apply
contracting.
Now
my
business
is
try
to
bring
previously
unengaged
business
communities
into
the
contract
and
possibilities
so
that
the
big
guys
don't
come
in
get
all
the
money
and
leave,
and
then
we
have
a
building.
Q
We
have
a
facility,
but
the
economic
structure
around
us
didn't
didn't
help.
It
didn't
get
a
benefit
in
any.
We
need
to
turn
over
our
dollars
three
or
four
or
five
six
seven
times
in
our
community
right
and
and
all
the
time
the
lowest
responsible
bidder
does
not
mean
it's
the
most
economically
beneficial
to
our
community.
So
I'm
saying,
let's
take
those
kind
of
attitudes
towards
whatever
was
this
work?
There's
a
lot
of
money
being
able
to
get
ready
to
be
spent
in
this
town.
There's
a
lot
of
kids
coming
out
of
college.
Q
That
can
say:
AHA
I
can
start
my
own
businesses
and
I
can
be
involved,
but
the
way
capitalism
is
set
up
right
now
and
the
way
we
do
our
business
right
now
that
kid
will
never
have
a
chance,
because
the
electric
electrician
company,
the
cement
company,
the
construction
company,
will
elbow
out
any
new
company
that
come
in.
If
you
got,
if
he's
got
a
company
worth
twenty
thirty
million
dollars
and
I
got
a
company
worth
one
hundred
and
fifty
five
hundred
thousand-
and
we
come
to
this
city
to
try
to
get
part
of
any
contract.
Q
He's
gonna
elbow
me
out.
He
might
take
a
loss
on
this
next
one
just
to
keep
me
from
developing
and
I'm
saying
no
there's
lots
of
issues
around
that
around
housing
and
how
we
spend
this
money
and
what?
What
plan
for
how
we
develop
the
playing
field
for
our
economy
and
our
development
going
forward.
Okay,
great.
R
O
R
E
E
We're
forced
to
interact
with
each
other
touching
human
beings
is
a
really
good,
healthy
thing
to
do,
and
you
know
just
if
you
look
at
the
table
how
this
is
set
up,
that
impacts,
how
we
relate
to
each
other,
you
know,
are
we
are
we
close
to
each
other?
What
it
this
is.
We
can
be
very
deliberate
about
our
built
environment
so
that
we
are
forcing
folks
to
touch
each
other
more
and
communicate
more
and
I
would
just
put
out
there
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
Okay,.
T
The
Domus
Park
neighborhood
has
been
very
isolated
from
downtown
from
the
Alameda
because
of
things
that
are
there
on
one
side,
it's
the
train
tracks.
On
the
other
side,
it's
87
south,
it's
280
and
North,
it's
Santa
Clara,
so
dolmas
Park
is
very
isolated,
but
very
close.
We
just
had
a
walking
tour
and
one
of
the
things
that
our
our
neighborhood
always
says
that
it
wants
is
a
neighborhood
park
and
I
always
feel
like
we
are
so
Park
rich.
T
But
the
fact
that
you
have
to
cross
under
87
makes
it
feel
like
it's
another
place,
and
so
what
I'd
like
to
see
come
out
of
this
is
that
we
figure
out
how
to
make
this
area
more
connected
to
the
north
and
the
south
and
the
east
and
the
west
and
the
communities
there,
and
because
they
could
develop
in
isolation,
because
there
are
some
really
big
constructed
barriers
there.
Okay.
R
F
F
Also
Cathy,
you
really
hit
home
because
your
kids
are
coming
into
our
neighborhood
for
the
gardener
Academy,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
fought
for
during
the
sni
days
was
that
fencing
that
went
in
on
the
east
side
of
bird
so
because,
before
that,
the
kids
had
no
barrier
between
them
and
the
cars,
and
it's
been
interesting
to
see
over
the
years.
Since
that's
been
put
in
how
many
times
cars
have
hit
that
and
how
Caltrans
has
been
a
very
bad
neighbor
in
that
they
are
very
negligent
in
repairing
that
and
they've.
K
Inspired
by
Kathy's
comment,
I
think
that
one
thing
that
I
really
liked
when
I
read
the
dirt
on
station
plan
was
this
idea
of
green
fingers
throughout.
You
know
that
area
of
using
parks
as
transportation
nodes
when
my
girlfriend
and
I
who's
back
there
we're
in
Berlin
we
used,
we
went
over
rivers,
we
went
past
like
four
lanes
of
of
traffic
through
parks.
You
know
parks
were
where,
where
restaurants
were
parks
were
the
way
to
navigate
through
the
whole
city
and
at
night
it
just
felt
very
safe
and
it
was
just
I.
K
B
We
made
some
significant
progress
in
the
specific
plan
for
dear
Adan
that
was
adopted
in
2014
in
terms
of
adding
some
concepts
to
make
the
area
more
walkable
and
bikeable.
As
you
point
out,
the
general
plan
has
some
very,
very
ambitious
goals
and
we
need
to
do
quite
a
lot
to
meet
or
exceed
those
goals.
E
R
E
Suggesting
it
as
something
to
look
at
I
think
there's
probably
lots
of
ways
that
we
can
achieve
our
mode
shift
goals
and
trip
caps
are
one
tool
that
we
should
definitely
put
into
our
pallet
of
things
we're
looking
at
it
may
not
work
for
us.
It
seems
to
work
up
there,
just
fine,
we
in
North
San
Jose.
We
just
don't
have
anything.
You
know,
in
fact,
we
and
a
lot
of
that
development
was
going
in.
We
lowered
the
transportation
fees
there
because
we
were
like
please
come
to
North
San
Jose.
E
R
B
Terrific
were
certain
sense
something
shadow
had
mentioned,
but
that
bill
and
Reginald
as
well,
something
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
first
meeting
that
we
talked
about
with
any
development
of
this
size.
San
Jose
has
a
history,
sometimes
of
lack
of
a
better
phrase:
sorry
Edward,
some
just
the
hancher
Park
Neighborhood
Association,
giving
away
the
bank
to
get
a
development
or
a
large
business
to
come
in,
and
that
was
a
concern
that
was
mentioned.
It
kind
of
the
first
couple
meetings
of
everybody
here
and
one
thing
that
I
think
everybody
should
be
aware
of.
B
There
was
a
study
session
at
City
Council
on
Thursday,
where
a
series
of
developers
and
a
study
was
completed,
and
the
premise
of
the
study
was
how
much
do
we
need
to
further
cut
city
fees,
including
Park
fees,
to
make
developments
more
attractive,
and
the
mayor
in
an
interview
said
the
other
day
that
maybe
cutting
the
fees
completely
might
be
in
someone's.
This
is
what
needs
to
happen,
and
that
includes
Park
fees
and
disproportionately
a
lot
of
the
neighborhoods
around
the
dirt
on
station
area.
B
A
lot
of
neighborhoods
are
part
deficient
and,
if
we're
continuing
to
further
cut,
when
we've
got
a
two
hundred
two
hundred
ninety
three
million
I
think
Malcolm
in
a
backlog
of
park
maintenance.
If
we're
cutting
fees
even
further
for
individual
developments,
what
precedent
does
that
set
for
something
as
large
as
Google
I
mean?
How
much
are
we
gonna
give
away
to
get
that
done
when
this
should
be
an
example
of
getting
amenities,
rather
than
compromising
amenities
for
the
sake
of
the
density
that
is
being
proposed.
F
P
P
I've
lived
in
that
neighborhood
for
35
years,
south
of
the
Southside,
so
she's
talking
curves.
Second
from
the
north
side.
I
can
tell
you
this
perspective
from
the
south
side,
and
it
is
this
astounding.
All
those
unprotected
places
were
children
have
crossed
how
many
cars
I
count
them,
because
I
get
stuck
at
the
lights.
How
many
cars
will
go
through
six
or
seven
sometimes
go
through
the
red
light?
P
P
P
Have
you
that
you've
looked
at
within
that
that
that
footprint
and
then
the
second
question
I,
have
a
view,
is
I'm
always
concerned
because
I'm
constantly
out
looking
at
next
door
and
if
every
day
it
seems
that
my
bike
got
stolen,
I
had
a
you
know:
I
had
a
good
lock
on
it
and
it
got
stolen
and
what?
What?
What
is
your
thought
about?
How
we
protect
bikes
when
they
are
when
people
are
shopping
in
the
area,
are
going
to
work,
etc.
P
E
It's
not
perfect
as
currently
envisioned
and
planned,
because
it
doesn't
follow
the
right.
Parian
corridor,
as
a
trail
the
entire
way
it
goes
up
onto
the
street,
so
you
know,
but
that
that's
what
we
planned
for
and
there
I
know
that
we've
been
talking
about
some
opportunities
to
daylight,
the
riparian
corridor.
That
would
be
super
exciting,
but
there's
there's
a
variety
of
options
for
on
street
networks
to
make
it
safe
and
secure
and
stress-free
for
cyclists
in
that
area.
You.
F
John
penny
go
packed,
I
was
really
struck
by
gene
Cohen's
patient
because
it
was
kind
of
concrete
and
looked
at
talk
about
opportunities
for
engagement,
community
engagement
but
Kimmy
employment
and
sustainment.
There's
a
lot
of
ideas
out
there
Jeanne
and
in
Europe
there
there
have
been
like
community
lead
kind
of
building
parks,
building
trails,
not
using
using
neighborhood
people,
local
labor,
local
inspiration
for
that.
That
seems
like
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities.
Entry
points
for
that
in
this
project.
I'd
like
to
hear
what
you
think
about
that.
F
The
other
part
is,
if
you
have
any
sense
of
what
kind
of
policies
and
incentives
need
to
be
given
out,
so
that
we
can
look
at
local,
hires
and
and
and
get
local
people
to
do
these
more.
The
detailed
work
that
make
a
city
scape
a
real
city
scape,
because
it's
made
by
people
that
are
in
the
area,
but
doing
it
as
a
kind
of
something
with
labor
and
an
artists
and
and
engaging
people
that
have
been
out
of
work
or
maybe
our
on
housed
for
for
a
while.
S
Thank
you,
father
John,
just
very
briefly,
I
think
there
are
some
specific
ideas
or
we
looked
at
it
as
a
toolbox
or
a
tool
kit
that
we're
establishing
here
for
the
different
buckets
and
themes
that
we're
discussing
that
we
could
expand
the
the
training
pipeline
for
a
particular
skilled
construction
work
workforce
through
a
few
different
mechanisms.
One
is
establishing
prevailing
wage
standards
to
is
apprentice,
hiring
requirements,
and
you
asked
maybe
for
some
examples.
I
can
think
of
a
couple
local
examples
specifically
destination
home.
S
Think
the
gentleman
over
here
on
the
Left
asked
about
fees
and
giveaways
and
kind
of
what
are
the
opportunities
for
for
the
community
and
for
the
businesses
that
are
developing
to
come
together.
We
might
want
to
look
at
the
Oakland
army
base
and
also
the
Hunters
Point
the
shipyard
project
in
San
Francisco
as
to
opportunities
that
the
community
came
together
with
business
and
government
to
find
solutions
that
made
the
project
work
for
everybody.
R
Great
night,
you
know
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
specifics
and
even
diving
deeper
in
the
solution
groups
about
when
we
have
a
project
here
when
we're
talking
about
Google's
potential
project
in
this
area.
What
does
it
actually
mean
for
some
of
those
programs
to
apply
what's
happening
to
the
specifics?
B
G
Is
Norma
Camacho,
Santa,
Clara,
Valley,
Water,
District
and
I
just
had
some
comments
to
think
about
as
we're
talking
about
transportation
and
bicycles
and
alternate
modes
of
transportation.
I
know
that
you
know
in
this
community
here
we're
becoming
more
and
more
reliant
on
the
Ebers
and
lifts
of
the
world,
and
so
how
do
they
fit
in
to
this
transportation
that
we're
totally
linked?
You
know
between
different
modes
of
transportation,
I'm
also
seeing
that
only
bicycle
share,
but
all
of
a
sudden,
all
these
scooter
shares
are
popping
up
everywhere.
G
I've
seen
scooters
all
over
the
place,
and
so
how
does
that
really
fit
in
into
the
community
that
we're
trying
to
develop
for
the
future
and
how
do
they
share?
You
know
the
roads
with
the
bicycles
and
the
pedestrians,
and
how
do
we
develop
safe
routes
in
which
they
can
do
that
in
a
way?
That's
really
really
coordinated
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
just
for
us
to
think
about
in
terms
of
transportation.
G
Is
you
know
our
population
and
it's
getting
more
elderly
and
how
does
the
elderly
fit
into
transportation
networks
as
well?
And
how
do
we
develop
things
that
are
accessible
or
ADA
compliant
to
many
of
the
people
who
are
with
who
are
on
wheelchairs,
etc
and
keep
them
safe,
and
so
just
want
us
to
think
about
those
things
as
we
dive
into
the
more
specific
groups
on
transportation
and
quality
of
life,
Thanks
Thank.
F
E
Amen,
I
have
a
question
for
Reginald
and
I
I.
Don't
know
too
much
about
your
organization,
so
I
might
be
making
some
assumptions
but
I'm
very
interested
in
how
in
this
process,
we
collectively
make
an
attempt,
through
some
mechanism
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
shores
of
the
world
or
the
tattoo
parlor
on
San,
Carlos,
Street,
that's
family,
owned
and
operated
remains
and
I'm
wondering
I'm
assuming
from
your
organization.
That's
something
you
guys
think
deeply
about
and
I'm
wondering.
E
Q
No,
we
didn't
give
deep
thought
to
the
tattoo
shop,
but
but
basically
what
we
do
is
is
try
to
make
sure
that
that
that
the
construction
pieces
are
integrated,
a
lot
of
different
new
people
have
access
to
contracting.
But
from
that
we
have
all.
We
look
at
small
businesses
all
around
if
we
have
development
in
the
middle
of
downtown.
That's
close.
The
example
I
used
I
used
to
the
Apple
spaceship
as
an
example,
and
they
have
all
the
restaurants
inside
they
have
shoeshine
guys
on
the
inside.
They
have
everything
inside
that
building.
Q
Then
all
of
all
the
businesses
around
the
restaurants
around
us,
they're
cleaners,
around
the
shoeshine,
are
the
tattoo
parlors
right.
They
want
the
20,000
people
come
in
and
nobody
has
gotten
it
and
there's
no
business
to
be
spread
around.
So
we
think
that
the
interconnectedness
of
the
center
of
your
city
needs
that
we
need
to
consider
that
in
this
development,
not
just
this
development,
but
all
the
developments
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
downtown
so,
but
there
should
be
value
for
that.
The
grocery
stores
should
be
excited
about
the
development.
Q
The
the
tattoo
parlor
should
be
excited.
20,000
people
coming
into
downtown,
he
should
be
excited
about
it
as
well,
instead
of
cutting
them
off
and
not
thinking
about
them
as
we
set
up
our
processes,
so
I
think
that
we
look
for
it
to
be
almost
like
your.
Your
bicycle
will
again
like
the
development
is
here,
but
the
blessings
go
out.
R
Great
any
anyone
else,
I
think
we're
nearing
the
end
of
this
part
of
the
program.
Okay,
seeing
none
you
all
can
stay
up
there
for
right
now.
Sorry,
no
more
questions
for
you
just
for
easier,
so
we're
gonna
move
into
the
second
part
of
public
comment.
We've
gotten
three
cards,
so
Tessa
would.
Would
man
see
okay,
I.
D
We
are
in
the
jaws
of
destruction,
so
we
need
to
make
changes
and
when
I
talk
about
the
limitations,
we
had
need
to
limit
our
fossil
fuel
use,
and
so
this
is
what
we
need
to
be
doing
and
we
need
to
create
a
structure
that
prioritize
bicycle
and
pedestrian
corridors,
and
so
I've
been
saying
like
that.
We
need
bike
lanes
on
all
major
roads
in
San
Jose
and
what
Glen
has
been
saying
of
the
you
know
the
the
bicycle
wheel.
D
D
It
also
needs
a
lot
from
Taylor
all
the
way
to
Winchester,
for
it
to
be
a
bike
lane
and
make
it
much
safe
for
all
the
interactions
on
that
street
and
one
of
the
street
Taylor
Street.
But
we
also
have
a
problem
with
the
bird
netting
on
the
overpass
that
needs
to
be
improved.
Okay,
so
that
was
basically
just
bicycle
lanes
on
all
major
roads
in
San
Jose.
Thank.
B
B
B
That's
gonna
have
to
be
addressed
at
some
point,
either
through
a
JPA
or
forget
about
these
people
and
go
straight
to
the
joint
venture
between
city
of
San,
Jose
and
Google,
and
let's
move
on
see
how
much
time
I
got
left.
Okay,
HS
our
business
plane.
Wonderful,
we
like
to
refine
to
get
ROI.
You
know,
I
love
it.
I
live
I,
live
near
the
blossoming
a
train
station,
but
Cal
train
pay
attention,
you're,
not
putting
that
in
your
business
plane
and
what
you
don't
understand
is
all
these
pieces
tie
together.
B
Okay,
very
last
point:
the
company
they're
working
for
is
called
Arkady's
that
company,
after
they
were
done
with
Rotterdam,
actually
did
London
Bridge
in
London,
and
once
you
go
and
look
at
what's
going
in
London
you're,
going
to
understand
how
they
address
all
these
issues
with
displacement
and
everything
else.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
wish
I
had
more
than
two
minutes.
Thank
you.
H
So,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
at
the
end
and
to
comment
on
tonight's
topics.
I
echo,
Eric,
echo,
Harvey's
and
Kevin's
concerns.
We
in
the
community
have
been
working
with
meeting
with
high-speed
rail
for
a
decade
now,
and
the
problem
has
been
that
the
impact
to
the
will
oak
of
North,
Willow,
Glen
and
garter
district.
The
current
tracks
were
from
the
1930s
when
it
was
quieted
in
people's
backyards,
an
at-grade,
but
it
has
expanded
and
to
be
high
speed.
H
Rail
they'll,
be
noise,
so
be
tracks
widen,
which
will
take
lands
and
lose
a
park,
and
that
poor
neighborhood
has
already
been
impacted
by
freeways,
87
and
280
and
knives
San
Jose
Airport
flying
overhead.
It's
enough
for
them.
There
were
alternatives,
studied
they
looked
at
tunnels
that
wasn't
going
to
work,
but
maybe
not
might
not
work
but
elevated
alignment
where
he'd
shift
the
tracks
over
to
be
within
the
freeway
right-of-way,
so
he
wouldn't
have
to
take
any
land
and
the
tracks
would
be
within
the
sound
walls
and
so
be
much
quieter.
H
That
became
the
new
preferred
plan.
Now
we're
hearing
that
they're
good
electrified
trains
to
go
away.
I'm
happy
for
that,
but
if
the
high-speed
rail
blends
there,
the
question
is
well
the
high-speed
rail
beyond
the
current
track
alignment,
or
is
there
still
an
opportunity
to
have
a
new
track
built
for
Cal
train
the
elevated
electrified
Cal
train
within
the
freeway
100
87
to
80
corridor?
H
If
you
can
do
that
great,
if
you're
going
to
go
and
just
put
four
lanes
on
the
existing
tracks
through
the
neighborhood
you're
going
to
destroy
that
neighborhood
also
glen,
you
mentioned
how
to
get
to
the
near
down
station:
complete
the
Los,
Gatos,
Creek,
Trail
and
Cathy
for
you
about
bird
That.
Bird
Avenue
was
designed
in
1960s
when
they
had
car
was
king
and
they
right.
H
The
trick
was
to
get
cars
every
place
as
fast
as
possible.
They
are
fixing
up
the
intersections
elsewhere
in
the
city,
they've
done
it
at
San,
Carlos
at
880,
and
also
Tully
Road
at
101,
where
they
have
sharpened
the
corners
and
removed
the
heist
the
right
turns
on
red.
You
can
do
something
like
that.
That
would
help
Lotso.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
respond.
A
A
So,
really
quickly,
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
section,
a
lot
of
great
conversation,
one
bit
of
information
that
Edward
brought
up
that
I,
just
we
do
have
Kim
in
the
room,
our
deputy
city
manager,
kind
of
this.
This
cost
of
development
conversation
they
came
up.
I
wanted
to
provide
just
have
Kim,
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
and
talk
about
the
continuation
of
that
conversation.
I
think
how
it
was
portrayed
in
the
media
was
a
little
bit
out
of
context.
I
just
want
the
community
to
better
kind
of
understand
what
exactly
is
happening.
A
N
So
last
Tuesday
the
San
Jose
City
Council,
had
asked
for
a
study
session,
not
any
kind
of
decision-making
session,
just
an
opportunity
to
understand
what
they
called
the
cost
of
development,
but
basically
was
what
determines
whether
a
housing
project
is
feasible
or
not,
because
I
think
we
know
we
have
a
strong
need
to
have
more
housing.
We
have
a
specific
goal
of
having
15,000
new
housing
units
in
the
next
five
years:
15,000
market
rate
units
and
10,000,
affordable
units
and
there's
an
inner
dependency.
We
don't
get
the
affordable
unless
we
get
the
market
right.
N
Just
a
lot
of
it's
just
based
on
where
we
are
in
the
market
cycle
now
and
it's
frustrating
because
land
costs
are
high
and
construction
costs
are
high,
but
unfortunately
crazy,
as
it
seems,
rents
in
San
Jose
are
lower
significantly
lower
than
they
are
in
other
places
like
Mountain,
View
and
Cupertino
and
Sunnyvale,
where
housing
is
much
more
attractive
and
feasible
there
and
those
are
the
communities
that
aren't
welcoming
it
as
much
as
San
Jose.
So
it's
an
interesting
and
very
complex
conundrum.
I
just
want
you
to
have
that
on
your
radar
screen.
N
It
was
not,
should
we
cut
fees
or
taxes
or
not,
it
was
not
to
set
up
that
conversation.
It
was
to
have
sort
of
basic
understanding,
and
you
can
see
some
of
these
forces.
Like
land
cosmic
construction
costs
are
just
so
major
that
the
point
was
made,
we
could
eliminate
all
fees
and
taxes
and
we're
still
not
going
to
get
market
rate
housing
at
this
point
in
the
in
the
cycle,
so
I
hope
that's
helpful
context,
perfect.
N
A
A
The
community
and
San
Jose
State
had
been
doing
a
kind
of
student-led
process
in
the
Domus
Park
area
and
that's
going
to
be
concluding
with
an
event
Sunday
May
6,
which
is
going
to
be
the
dumbest
Park
community,
open
house
and
pop-up
parks,
or
there
will
be
somewhat
of
a
temporary
park
Cathy
and
that
is
going
to
be
at
490,
west
Carlos
streets.
There's
this
flyer
in
the
back,
encourage
you
all
to
be
there
and
we're
gonna.
A
Some
of
us,
as
staff
will
be
there
as
well
kind
of
seeing
just
how
the
pop
up
kind
of
workshop
works,
because
we're
gonna
be
doing
several
of
those
as
a
part
of
this
process.
So
may
6.
Is
that
and
then
May
10th
is
Bike
to
Work
Day.
So
we're
finishing
up
meeting
number
three
here:
it's
gonna
get
really
really
busy
here
for
all
of
us,
the
city
team
community
and
all
of
you
relatively
soon.
A
With
these
solution,
groups
coming
up
and
I
know,
May
and
June
are
not
stressful
for
any
of
you
at
all,
with
graduations
end
of
the
school
year,
so
we're
all
gonna
put
down
our
heads
and
get
through
this
together.
You
know
really
excited
by
you
know.
As
soon
as
we
kind
of
randomly
came
up
with
this
idea
of
TED
talks,
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
tonight.
A
You
know:
we've
been
we've
been
talking
around
kind
of
the
issue
of
what's
gonna
happen,
endear
it
on
and,
and
you
know,
there's
been
tension
in
the
room,
all
of
us
kind
of
fearful
for
what
may
or
may
not
happen
and
I've
been
really
kind
of
interested
in
the
just
the
word
opportunity,
my
whole
life,
and
so
you
know
tonight
we
started
to
hear
about
that.
You
know
we
can
address
some
of
these
challenges
with
the
opportunities
that
come
up.
So
hopefully
those
of
you
that
are
gonna
be
going
next
week
got
really
good
examples.
A
I
think
the
five
of
you
did
an
excellent
job
kind
of
you
know
high
level
and
all
the
way
down
to
very
detailed
things.
That
could
happen.
So
remember
those
because
we're
gonna
be
bringing
those
back
to
the
solution
groups.
You
know
whether
it
be
transportation
or
the
neighborhood
quality
of
life
stuff,
and
you
know
known.
A
So
our
next
meeting
is
gonna,
be
May
23rd.
We
are
gonna,
hear
again
from
Google
I,
believe
Michael,
one
of
our
members
on
the
SAG
will
be
presenting
and
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
down
a
level
from
what
we
you
know
did
three
weeks
ago.
Where
was
kind
of
you
know
why
San
Jose,
why
D
are
done
and
and
start
to
learn
more
about
Google's
initial
thinking
about
the
conversations
we've
had
in
this
room
and
and
kind
of
what
they're
thinking
of
dear
Don,
followed
by
the
remainder
of
the
TED
talks.
A
So
we're
gonna
hear
a
lot
about
kind
of
the
opportunities
in
Deraa
Don
next
meeting,
if
followed
by
meeting
5
6
7
&
8
we're
gonna
start
to
bring
back
the
initial
conversations
that
the
solution
groups
heard.
So
we
can
go
down
a
level.
You
know
with
the
10
8
12
members
on
those
individual
subjects
and
then
bring
it
back
up
to
all
of
you.
A
We
don't
have
a
date
set
for
the
July
meeting,
because
we
were
hoping
to
not
have
to
do
one
in
July,
because
several
people
take
vacation
in
July,
but
I
do
think
given
kind
of
the
flow
and
kind
of
not
wanting
to.
You
know
rush
this
in
August
we're
gonna
try
for
a
July
meeting,
so
we
will
send
out
a
doodle
to
try
and
get
a
sense
of
what's
gonna,
be
the
best
availability
for
everyone,
because
I
know.
A
Really
quickly,
as
as
usual,
I
always
put
up
this
slide
for
public
comments.
If
anyone
you
know
from
the
public
watching
didn't
get
a
chance
to
participate
public
comment
but
wants
their
name
on
the
record,
please
email,
Tara,
one
of
the
other
things
that
we're
gonna
be
mentioning
is
the
new
dear
Don
SJ
org
website
is
now
live
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
gonna
be
doing
is
we
kind
of
talked
about
the
Brown
Act?
A
And
how
can
you
guys
share
information
with
one
another
you're,
gonna
email
it
to
myself,
Lauren
or
Tara
and
there's
a
clearinghouse
on
there
now
so
you
know
I
know:
Bill
has
sent
in
information
around
some
of
the
planning
efforts
and
around
Toronto
and
Montreal
I
believe
we're
gonna
put
it
up
there.
If
any
of
you
have
reports,
ideas
and
you're,
not
able
to
send
it
out
to
the
whole
group,
send
it
to
us
we're
gonna
post
it
there.
A
So,
there's
a
public
record
of
what
we're
all
sharing
with
the
group
and
in
the
way
of
resources
and
as
we
start
to
get
information,
that's
gonna
be
requested
from
the
solution
groups
and
fill
out
some
of
more
that
the
demographic
information
we
just
about
last
week,
that'll
be
uploaded
there
as
well,
and
then
the
site's
going
to
be
used
to
start
hosting
some
of
the
online
engagement
that
we've
talked
about.
So
with
that.
E
O
O
S
A
A
You
know
I,
think
the
placement
is
important,
obviously
mentioning
that
and
then
trying
to
ensure
the
very
beginning
of
this,
knowing
that
it's
going
to
be
very
process
heavy,
focusing
on
you
guys
more
to
setup
the
process
so
that
we
can
build
in
more
of
the
public
comment
through
the
other
avenues.
But
that's
something
I
can
bring
back
to
the
group
on
the
23rd,
but
I.
Don't
believe
that
it
is
a
Brown
Act
violation.
Okay,.
