So
in
the
fall
of
2020
department
of
transportation,
hosted
a
logo
contest
to
involve
local
artists
in
helping
create
a
logo
for
the
downtown
transportation
plan,
and
this
is
a
community
driven
plan
that
aims
to
improve
getting
around
by
foot
bike.
Car
and
taking
transit,
improve
transportation,
equity
and
access
to
places
for
everybody
and
improve
the
comfort
and
enjoyment
of
streets,
public
plazas,
paseos
and
parks,
and
to
be
eligible
entrants
needed
to
be
18
years
or
older
residents
of
santa
clara
county
and
enrolled
full
or
part-time.
A
In
a
post-secondary
institution,
12
entries
were
received
and
reviewed
by
a
panel
made
up
of
the
department
of
transportation's
community
engagement,
team
and
local
community
based
organization
partners,
and
I'm
happy
to
announce
that
the
winner
was
katarina
nguyen
mai,
a
graphic
design
student
at
san
jose
state
university
and
an
active
member
within
the
vietnamese
community.
She
was
awarded
first
prize
of
seven
hundred
dollars
and
the
three
runners
up
were
each
awarded
a
hundred
dollars
for
their
efforts.
A
Katarina
took
inspiration
from
san
pedro
street
and
created
a
clean
logo
that
embodies
safety
and
clean
streets
while
making
it
feel
inviting
and
safe
with
bright
colors.
She
also
included
images
of
accessibility,
mode
shift
and
walkability
to
highlight
the
dynamics
of
the
plan.
I
know
she
could
not
be
here
with
us
today
because
she
has
class,
but
we
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
wish
her
congratulations
and
thank
you.
C
There
are
no
items
on
our
review
of
work
plan,
no
items
on
the
consent
calendar,
so
we
will
go
to
item
d
reports
to
committee
and
the
first
one.
D1
is
status
report
on
deferred
maintenance
and
infrastructure
backlog,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
names
for
presenters
who
is
going
to
take
it
away
mike
o'connell,
nicole
burnham,
I'm
not
sure
who's
starting
the
presentation.
F
We
continue
to
refine
and
clarify
for
clarify
the
data
for
accuracy,
and
it
can
be
done
through
condition,
assessment
through
master
planning
or
also
through
life
cycle
analysis
and
then
along
the
way.
We
also
develop
a
strategy
to
figure
out
how
to
fight
funding,
to
support
our
programs
or
to
keep
the
backlog
from
growing
if
possible.
F
F
A
F
D
Great
thank
you
so
much
matthew
good
afternoon
council
member
and
chair
davis
and
members
of
the
transportation
and
environment
committee.
I'm
walter
lin,
I'm
the
deputy
director
in
public
works.
I
manage
the
facilities
fleet
and
radio
communication
services
for
the
city,
as
matthew
mentioned,
within
our
building
facilities
with
the
aging
infrastructure
and
the
aging
systems.
We
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
backlog.
D
Even
though
still
a
relatively
younger
building,
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
wear
and
tear
on
the
building
structure
and
the
building
systems
at
7.3
million
the
fire
facilities
at
9
million
dollars,
our
cultural
facilities
have
increased
at
17.8
million.
The
cultural
facilities
consist
of
the
children's
discovery,
museum,
the
tech
museum,
history,
san
jose
facilities
and
the
structures
within
that
campus,
the
museum
of
art,
hammer
theater
and
the
mexican
heritage
plaza
for
our
library
sites,
including
the
mlk
main
branch.
D
D
Our
next
slide
here
shows
the
different
types
of
building
systems,
the
infrastructure
that
has
been
that
are
needed
in
either
repair
or
major
replacement,
the
roofing
structures,
outdoor
lighting
with
measure
t.
We
are
accommodating
much
of
the
exterior
building
lighting
and
parking
lot
lighting.
However,
we
don't
have
enough
to
cover
the
exterior
inventory
and
we're
looking
at
strategies
to
complete
that
work.
Our
elevator
systems.
D
They
are
aging
whether
it
is
the
cabs
themselves,
the
infrastructure
or
the
programming
and
the
software
control
system
that
manages
the
elevator
systems,
our
plumbing
systems
on
electrical
systems
as
well
for
emergency
generators
for
critical
and
essential
facilities.
We
do
have
backup
generation,
but
not
for
all,
and
that
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at
in
terms
of
the
public
safety
power,
shutdowns
or
any
other
unannounced
or
unplanned
power
emergencies
to
really
bring
power
sources
to
those
facilities
to
ensure
the
continuity
of
those
operations.
D
The
exterior
shell
and
hvac
systems
also
larger
systems
that
can
be
quite
costly
for
major
replacement
life
safety
systems
such
as
the
fire
alarm
system,
is
something
that
we
are
monitoring
and
replacing
as
we
need.
Solar
systems
are
in
place
for
several
of
our
different
facilities.
Most
of
them
are
under
power
power
agreements,
but
there
are
some
that
are
city
owned
as
well,
and
there
is
an
o
m
component
to
those
solar
systems
that
we
need
to
account
for
plaza
spaces.
E
E
We
have
a
lot
of
them
across
the
city,
we're
up
to
209
with
at
least
another
half
dozen
in
development
and
with
those
common
number
of
assets
that
need
to
be
maintained
on
a
regular
basis,
basketball,
hoops,
tennis
courts,
fitness
areas.
You
have
a
general
idea
of
that.
We
are
at
61
miles
of
of
paved
trails,
which
include
you
know.
A
number
of
pavement
maintenance
needs
as
well
as
bridges
right
as
they
run
along
creeks.
They
sometimes
run
over
them.
Skate
parks,
bmx
parks.
E
E
So
for
this
year,
we
we
are
evaluating
our
overall
backlog,
just
within
parks
at
about
260
million.
This
is
actually
an
increase
of
about
25
million.
Over
last
year,
my
team
has
been
working
on
splitting
these
apart
right,
we've
been
trying
to
you
know
we
park
grounds
and
regional
facilities
are
really
broad
categories
that
were
established
when
our
initial
backlog
was
created.
In
2013,
we've
been
working
on
diving
into
the
details
of
that
a
little
bit
more
and
understanding.
You
know
how
much
of
that
is
related
to
pools
and
playgrounds.
E
We
had
set
our
eyes
on
on
getting
a
fair
amount
of
that
done
this
year
and
coven
sort
of
derailed
us
from
from
being
able
to
get
as
much
done
there
as
we
wanted.
We
did
do
some
great
things
like
looking
at
pavement
management
on
trails
still
in
quality
control
check,
so
so
there's
more
coming
and
more
detail.
E
We
can
put
on
this
and
then
add
to
that
260
million
163
million
or
almost
164
that
are
included
in
the
building
assets
that
that
walter
mentioned
earlier
gets
us
to
a
total
park,
increase
our
infrastructure
backlog
of
about
424
million
at
the
present
time,
and
so
with
that,
I
can
turn
it
over
to.
I
think
matthew
is
doing
stormwater.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
nicole.
So
in
the
storm
sewer
program,
the
city
of
san
jose,
we
complete
the
master
plan
phase,
one
in
2017,
where
we
evaluate
our
storm
sewer
system
and
see
how
it
performed
under
a
10-year
storm,
and
the
outcome
of
that
study
showed
that
we
have
about
22
projects
and,
at
the
total
cost
of
215
million
dollars.
F
F
We
have
a
large
number
of
outfalls
in
the
city
and
throughout
last
year
we
found
that
we
have
about
335
outfalls
that
need
some
kind
of
repair
and
rehabilitation
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
So
that's
the
reason
why
we
put
in
that
five
million
dollars
of
annual
ongoing
needs
under
the
storm
service
program
and
with
that
I'm
gonna
transfer
it
to
the
next
slide.
G
G
The
purpose
of
this
slide
is
to
demonstrate
the
the
scale
and
scope
of
maintenance
responsibility
for
the
dot
maintenance
teams,
and
I
won't
read
off
all
the
numbers
as
they
are
in
the
report,
but
just
generally,
if
you
can
see
it,
and
sometimes
even
if
you
can't,
as
is
the
case
for
our
sewer
pipes,
our
maintenance
workers,
engineers
and
inspectors
probably
have
some
involvement
in
their
maintenance,
and
this
includes
street
trees
and
sidewalks
in
which
property
owners
bear
primary
responsibility.
But
you
know
we
collaborate
with
them
to
facilitate
the
repairs.
G
As
you
can
see,
the
transportation
infrastructure
is
vast
slide.
Please.
So,
overall,
as
as
matthew
mentioned,
early
on
2020
was
a
very
good
year
for
the
transportation
maintenance
backlog.
Our
one-time
backlog
decreased
by
26.3
million
dollars,
driven
by
increased
pavement
and
ada
ramp
maintenance.
You
can
see
if
you
compare
this
to
last
year,
pretty
steep
declines
in
both
of
those
categories.
G
The
areas
in
green
in
particular
are
areas
in
which
local
measure
t
is
a
funding
source,
and
so
the
calculations
you
see
on
this
on
the
spreadsheet
have
accounted
for
those
for
those
funds.
We
expect
to
see
continued
improvement
in
the
coming
years,
driven
largely
by
pavement,
maintenance
work
and
our
ada
ramp
work
on
the
ada
ramp
work
slide.
G
So
I
apologize
for
that
and
due
to
the
work
that
we've
done
and
we've
planned,
the
projected
tenure
cost
to
improve
our
network
to
good,
which
is
a
pci
of
70,
which
I'll
explain
in
the
next
presentation
has
also
decreased,
leaving
this
program,
a
very
small
two
million
dollar
annual
funding
shortfall
where
it
had
exceeded
about
50
million
dollars.
Just
for
you
just
about
four
to
five
years
ago
slide.
Please.
G
So
here's
just
some
photographic
examples
of
streets
in
in
the
varying
categories
of
our
city,
so
pci
stands
for
pavement
condition
index,
which
is
a
number
ranging
from
0
to
100,
with
100
being
a
brand
new
street
to
provide
a
best
assessment
as
to
the
condition
of
the
street.
You
can
see
kind
of
the
varying
categories
here,
but
for
reference,
lava
drive
on
the
right
sits
at
67,
which
is
our
current
city-wide
average.
C
C
H
All
right,
thank
you,
larry
beekman,
here
I've
got
a
bad
frog
in
my
throat
this
week.
I
hope
you
can
be
patient
with
it.
Thank
you.
I
there's
tech
technology
deployment
items
that
were
just
that
are
talked
about
within
that.
Within
the
memo
of
this
item,
I
thought
it
was
a.
It
could
be
appropriate
to
once
again
try
to
mention
the
ideas
of
a.
C
I
I
However,
well
I
I
think
we
all
know
what
the
story
is
there
and
that's
a
problem,
because
we
do
know
what
the
story
is
there,
we're
actually
aware
of
what
the
story
is
there,
and
so
I'd
really
like
to
see
what
that
looks
like
another
thing
is
that
I
would
like
to
extend
my
gratitude
for
councilwoman
esparza's
work
with
the
within
the
hate
crimes
unit.
I'm
sorry
that
this
was.
It
was
something
that
happened
very
personal
to
you
that
they
compelled
your
your
spearheading
this
project.
I
C
J
I
know
that
that
obviously
we
put
a
lot
of
resources,
especially
on
measure
t
into
trying
to
get
down
this
backlog.
But
obviously,
as
you
you
know,
do
the
work.
Things
begin
to
age
immediately
right
and
then
those
they
begin
to
get
into
the
backlog
again,
just
just
using
the
pavement
projects
as
an
example.
How
long?
What
is
the
lifetime
of
the
paving
before
we
expect,
and
if
we
had
an
ideal
world
we
were
repaving
as
necessary.
G
Thanks
for
the
question
councilmember,
it's
a
that's
a
really
good
one,
because
backlog
is
one
of
those
words,
especially
with
pavement.
That
can
mean
a
lot
of
different
things
for
the
for
the
sake,
at
least
on
the
pavement
side.
You
know
really
functionally
kind
of
with
the
conditions
where
we
are,
if
you
resurface
a
roadway
where
you're
kind
of
grinding
everything
up
and
then
repaving
right
afterwards,
the
street
can
last
for
quite
a
long
time.
G
You
know,
probably
probably
20
years
or
so,
but
it
deteriorates
on
a
curve
that
accelerates
as
things
kind
of
get
worse
and
so,
ideally,
what
you're
doing
is
you're
paving.
You
know
doing
your
big
resurfacing
project
and
then
just
like
say
your
fence
or
something
like
that.
You,
you
know
you
re
you
reseal
it.
G
You
revarnish
it
every
couple
of
years,
so
you
know,
I
think
the
ideal,
and
we
have
we
have
frank
varsity
on
as
well,
who
can
help
explain
if
I've
missed
anything,
but
ideally
we're
resurfacing
and
then
you're
kind
of
coming
in
and
sealing
maybe
about
eight
years
later,
providing
preventive
maintenance,
and
you
can
make
a
street
last
on
that
cycle.
Where
you're
preventably,
maintaining
it
every
couple
of
years
for
a
very
long
time
without
having
to
actually
resurface
it.
G
So
that's
the
that's
kind
of
the
end
state
we're
trying
to
get
to
there's
never
going
to
be
a
zero
on
the
backlog,
because
you
always
need
to
do
some
work
to
kind
of
keep.
You
know
the
the
streets
in
fair
condition,
but
I
think
that
that
pretty
much
explains
it.
But
if
I
need
to
clarify
anything
for
you,
please
let
me
know.
J
So
I
guess
it's
just
an
interesting
question
about
how
you
I
mean
backlog
is.
It
seems
like
an
interesting
way
of
putting
it
to
a
continuous
maintenance
cost
for
any
facility.
I
guess
is
really
the
way
it
is.
The
backlog
grows
where
the
maintenance
infrastructure
needs
continue
to
grow
with
time.
I
guess
is
really
weird
thinking
about
it.
J
I
guess
just
just
just
I
was
just
you
know
trying
to
articulate
my
thoughts
about
it,
because
I
I
know
that
these
numbers
will
never
go
to
zero.
I
mean
it's
not
like,
there's
always
a
need
to
continually
maintain
things.
It's
not
like.
We
get
to
an
end
point.
I
guess
it's
kind
of
my
just
just
the
point.
I'm
moving.
B
We
will
always
have
deferred
maintenance
because
we're
always
just
maybe
using
a
band-aid
to
fix
the
problem
when
when
we
need
to
solve
it
immediately,
such
as,
if
we
have
a
leaky
roof,
we're
going
to
fix
the
roof,
but
we're
not
going
to
repair
the
roof
or
replace
the
roof,
because
that
may
take
us
that's
going
to
cost
a
lot
more
money
and-
and
we
may
not
have
the
funds
available
for
that
time.
So
we
fix
the
immediate
problem,
but
we
don't
fix
the
the
we
don't
complete
the
deferred
maintenance.
B
Much
like
we
do
for
our
our
homes
right.
We
only
do
what
we
have
to
do
to
keep
our
house
functioning,
but
we
don't
necessarily
replace
the
heater
we
may
replace
a
component
of
it.
I
have
a
couple
questions
about
the
report
and
it's
because
I
I
don't
really
understand
the
terminology,
but
one
regarding
the
storm
sewer
infrastructure.
You
use
the
term
outfall.
F
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question
the
out.
For
basically,
if
you
look
at
the
entire
storm
drain
system,
the
rain
water
will
come
will
come
down,
hit
the
roadways
and
drain
toward
an
inlet
and
from
the
inlet
that
water
will
get
into
a
storm
collection
system.
So
it's
an
underground
pipe
and
that
pipe
now
will
be
interconnected
together
and
it
gets
to
the
creek
or
the
river.
So
the
very
end
point
of
that
hype
is
called
outfall
and
we
have
to
build
it
in
the
way
that
the
water
come
out.
F
F
We
have
we
have
a
few
outfalls
that
has
the
flag
gate
at
the
end,
so
the
purpose
of
the
flag
gate
is
to
prevent,
when
the
water
level,
in
the
quick
race
higher
than
the
higher
than
the
invert
of
the
outfall,
then
that
flap
gate
will
close
up
and
prevent
that
water
from
going
back
to
the
system
yeah.
But
it's
not
necessary.
We.
We
always
have
to
have
that
flood
gate.
F
B
G
Yeah
yeah,
so
the
the
ada
code
changes,
I
wouldn't
say
frequently,
but
it
does
change
and
you
know,
maintenance
has
occurred
over
several
generations
in
san
jose.
So
there
are
many
cur.
You
know
the
no-brainers,
where
there's
definitely
a
curb
ramp
going
in
is
where
there's
a
ramp
completely
missing
and
anytime.
We
pave
a
street.
You
know
typically
you're
going
to
see
we're
required
to
update
the
associated
ada
ramps
that
run
kind
of
parallel
to
that
roadway
to
the
most
updated
code.
G
So
we
went
through
a
very
extensive
consultant
project
three
years
ago
now
I
think
where
we
assessed
the
entire
city
and
kind
of
saw
where
all
the
ada
ramps
were,
and
we
found
it's
kind
of
mentioned.
In
the
report
we
found
that
the
majority
of
our
ramps
that
were
installed
are
not
fully
updated
with
the
most
recent
code.
So
every
time
we
actually
do
a
substantial
amount
of
maintenance,
even
if
it
looks
like
it's
off
by
maybe
you
know
a
couple
of
different.
You
know
traits
that
make
it
not
compliant.
G
If
we're
going
and
paving
that
roadway,
we
have
to
update
it
to
the
most
current
code.
So
that's
that's
the
standard.
That's
why
we're
doing
an
awful
lot
of
curb
ramp
work,
we're
actually
in
the
process
of,
I
think.
Well,
I
think
I
think
everyone
in
the
council
is
aware.
You
know
we're
working
with
a
group
right
now
to
finalize
an
ada
transition
plan
that
will
result
in
having
all
of
our
ada
curb
ramps
up
to
the
most
valid
code
when
the
construction
is
performed
by
2038.
G
B
B
G
There
there
are
like
you
know:
there
are
things
there
are
things
like
variables
like
cross
slopes,
and
you
know
different
kinds
of
things.
That
would
probably
be
difficult
for
me
to
define
in
this
meeting,
but
I
have
frank
on
the
call
too.
I
think
we're
happy
to
after
this
provide
you
with
that.
So
you
can
kind
of
take
a
look
at
the
code.
A
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
report.
It's
nice
to
get
this
every
year,
but
it's
daunting
just
obviously
looking
at
the
the
needs
that
we
have
throughout
the
city,
but
it
is
nice
to
have
them
summarized
here
and
I
wanted
to
just
channel
what
paul
soto
was
saying,
and
it's
not
necessarily
something
that
I
would
like
to
see
incorporated
into
this
report,
because
this
really
is
just
the
deferred
maintenance
and
the
infrastructure
backlog.
A
I
know
that
was
the
the
intent
and
the
goal
as
we
began
that
process
and
created
that
office,
anyways
and
as
they're
up
and
running.
I
think
it's
reports
like
this
that
begin
to
set
that
framework
for
all
the
need
that
we
have.
But
then
we
can
add
that
layer
in
before
we
go
out
and
simply
just
address
it
based
on
particular
needs,
assuming
that
it's
an
even
playing
field
across
the
whole
city.
We
look
at
it
with
that
that
filter,
and
so
that's
it.
A
I
just
wanted
to
to
echo
that
and
channel
that
as
staff
is
beginning
to
do
this
work-
and
I
know
we're
tossing
a
lot
over
at
our
new
office.
But
that's
that's
why
we've
we've
created
it
and
and
want
to
to
be
able
to
utilize
it
to
its
its
maximum
ability,
and
if
we
don't
have
a
motion
I'll
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
report.
C
E
E
We
were
hopeful
that
we
were
going
to
do
pools,
but
I
think
we
need
to
delay
that
another
year
for
some
work
that
we
need
to
do
with
happy
hollow
instead.
So
I'm
trying
to
you
know
constantly
trying
to
balance
like
existing
ongoing
needs
with
with
kind
of
trying
to
do
these
this
study.
So
I
think
we
just
have
to
take
it
asset
category
by
asset
category
and
it's
going
to
take
a
few
years.
E
The
other
thing
that
we'll
be
working
on
more
aggressively
in
this
coming
year
is
our
building
assets
and,
trying
to
you
know,
work
with
walter
and
his
team
to
to
more
clearly
define
our
needs.
There
that's
been
an
area
we
haven't
been
able
to
focus
as
much
on
as
we
as
we'd
like
to
so
I
think
those
are
the,
I
would
say,
pools.
Playgrounds
and
buildings
are
gonna,
be
our
next.
What
should
be
our
next
big
categories
and
trail?
C
Thank
you
and
then
I
don't
remember
the
answer
to
this
question
either,
which
I
may
have
asked
last
year
when
we
have
the
infrastructure
backlog
in
the
in
the
memo
and
the
annual
unfo
ongoing
unfunded
needs.
What
we
don't
have
in
here-
and
I
can't
remember
if
it's
in
the
in
the
text-
is
what
is
the
annual
funded
amount
for
each
of
these
items?.
C
Not
just
in
parks
but
in
the
overall,
so
we
have.
You
know
the
table
on
page
three
and
it's
not
an
it's
just
called
infrastructure
backlog.
So
it's
not
a
numbered
table
and
it's
for
every
program
starting
from
airport
and
going
down
to
water
utility.
It
has
the
one-time
backlog
and
the
change
from
2020
to
2021
and
the
annual
ongoing
unfunded
needs.
So
it
gives
the
unfunded
needs,
but
it
doesn't
give
the
amount
annually
that
we
spend
on
each
of
these
items.
K
Can
I
jump
in
on
that
rick?
This
is
mike
o'connell,
I'm
sorry,
sorry!
I
joined
you
late.
I
think
that's
a
good
question
and
this
report
has
never
tabulated
that,
but
just
from
my
own
experience
I
can
tell
you
that
the
funding
for
the
sanitary
sewer
program
is
has
been
32
million
a
year
year
in
year
out
and
that
is
split
between
rehab
and
capacity
and
master
planning.
The
storm
capital
budget
floats
around
9
million
a
year
of
investment.
K
G
I
I
was
just
going
to
add
that
I
know
the
num.
The
the
table
is
a
summary
of
what's
contained
in
the
report
and,
for
example,
like
in
the
dot
section
in
each
of
the
respective
maintenance
categories.
The
funding
level
is
specifically
mentioned,
so
I
do
think
most
departments
carry
that
throughout
the
world
or
summarize.
A
G
C
C
B
C
B
C
K
Yeah,
thank
you,
council,
member
and
and
committee.
This
is
john
russo
director
of
transportation.
This
is
an
infrastructure
day.
So
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
now
is
this
next
year's
payment
report
rick
scott
deputy
director,
will
present
that,
along
with
frank,
farshiti,
our
division
manager,
so
I
know
there's
a
lot
on
this
agenda,
so
why
don't
we
just
get
started
with
the
presentation
thanks
freak.
G
Thank
you,
john.
So,
for
a
very
long
time,
I
want
to
introduce
myself
again
for
a
very
long
time.
The
the
purpose
of
this
presentation
was
to
provide
the
council
with
an
update
on
funding
challenges
and
shortfalls
and
they're
expecting
negative
effects
on
the
condition
of
the
city's
most
expensive
asset,
which
is
our
street
network
that
all
really
began
to
change.
G
First,
with
the
passage
of
senate
bill,
1
and
vta
measure
b
in
2016,
the
successful
legal
defense
of
measure
b
in
2018
and
then
the
passage
of
city
measure
t
in
2018
and
what
we
see
now
is
just
a
picture,
that's
dramatically
different
from
what
it
was
even
two
years
ago.
So
our
focus
now
is
delivering
high
quality
projects
efficiently
and
cost
effectively
throughout
the
city,
and
this
presentation
reflects
that.
G
I'd
like
to
start
the
excuse
me
I'd
like
to
start
the
presentation
by
providing
you
with
a
report
card
kind
of
we
do
this
every
year,
our
state
of
the
pavement
maintenance
network.
So
you
can
see
kind
of
like
a
typical
report
card.
You
have
your
a
and
your
b.
Those
are
good
grades
c,
which
is
kind
of
fair
and
d
and
f,
which
are
failing
so
this
year.
G
We're
at
74
of
of
our
streets
on
the
major
streets
are
good,
which
would
be
you
know,
high
pci,
basically
above
the
good
category,
that's
an
increase
of
four
percent
last
year
that
was
70,
so
that's
gone
up,
whereas
category
c
and
dnf
in
the
major
streets
went
down
by
one
and
three
percent
respectively.
So
that
means
that
streets
are
gradually
moving
into
the
higher
tier
of
condition
as
we
proceed
with
our
program.
G
Additionally,
on
the
local
streets,
which
many
of
you
know
have
have
faced
years
and
years
of
no
maintenance
funding.
This
is
our
second
year
maintaining
the
local
streets.
We
saw
an
increase
to
41
in
the
a
and
b
category
from
37
last
year
and
again,
a
similar
decrease
in
the
c
and
d
and
f
categories,
as
we've
just
continued
to
improve
the
condition
of
our
streets
slide.
Please.
G
So
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
have
seen
one
of
our
presentations
before
we
prefer
the
pavement
condition
index
a
lot,
and
this
number
represents
a
condition
of
streets
in
a
ranges
from
zero
to
a
hundred
with
a
hundred
being
a
brand
new
street.
When
we
discuss
a
citywide
pci,
that's
the
average
condition
of
all
the
2519
miles
of
streets.
That
number
is
going
to
sound
different
to
you,
because
we
found
some
streets
in
our
network
this
year
that
I'll
describe
in
a
future
slide.
G
G
G
This
is
similar
to
last
presentation,
a
pci
visual
guide,
and
you
can
see
it's
just
much
easier.
These
numbers
are
kind
of
esoteric
unless
you
can
really
see
a
photo
that
associates
with
the
condition
so
to
the
upper
left.
You
have
miami
drive,
which
is
just
repaved
and
is
an
excellent
category.
Our
average
pci
is
slightly
above
the
photo
to
the
right,
which
is
in
good
condition,
and
then
the
two
photos
on
on
the
bottom
are
noticeably
worse
and
need
maintenance
slide.
Please.
G
G
We
noticed
that
some
of
the
streets
that
should
have
been
in
our
database
seem
to
be
missing,
so
we
spent
some
time
reviewing
parcel
maps
working
with
public
works
and
code
gis
layers
and
reconciling
this
information
with
our
consultants
that
assess
our
streets
every
year
to
make
sure
that
these
miles
were
not
only
included
in
our
database,
but
also
that
they
were
assessed.
So
we
could
capture
the
current
condition
and
have
an
accurate
understanding
of
the
condition.
G
Fortunately,
our
new
higher
pci
includes
these
streets,
as
they
were
not
in
worse
condition
than
our
city-wide
average.
Now
that
we
caught
this
error
in
this
oversight,
we've
implemented
a
process
to
make
sure
it
won't
happen
again
and
improved
our
coordination
efforts
with
other
stakeholders
like
public
works,
code
enforcement
and
just
initiated
a
process
where
we're
investigating
and
reporting
on
this.
G
Thanks
next
slide,
please
so
the
pavement
period
pyramid
this
is
a
pretty
busy
slide
for
those
of
you
who
may
be
new
to
this,
but
at
a
high
level
tries
to
provide
a
summary
of
our
payment
maintenance
program.
So
you
can
see
kind
of
at
the
apex
of
our
pyramid.
The
summarized
totals
we
have,
as
I
mentioned,
2519
miles,
the
pci
is
67.
Now
we
have
an
estimated
10-year
annual
need
of
86.8
million
dollars
to
average
to
get
our
average
street
condition
into
the
good
category.
G
70
or
above
we
have
a
one-time
backlog
of
526.4
million
dollars,
the
lower
boxes,
summarize
conditions
and
backlogs
in
our
distinct
stream
network.
So
in
years
past
we
used
to
this
distinction
used
to
really
matter,
because
we
had
to
prioritize
maintenance
on
our
major
streets
which
carry
85
percent
of
our
traffic.
G
The
base
of
the
pyramid
contains
our
much
larger
local
and
neighborhood
streets
network,
which,
as
you'll
recall,
really
received
no
regular
maintenance
for
20
years
until
until
2018,
essentially,
the
investments
in
these
streets
have
brought
its
pci
up
by
several
points
over
the
last
few
years,
starting
at
58
two
years
ago.
So
it's
it's
made
a
substantial
raise
to
62.
Since
we've
been
maintaining
the
streets,
as
you
can
see,
the
majority
of
the
backlog,
and
so
that's
the
cost
and
the
negative
conditions
exists
on
the
right
with
our
streets
under
the
pci
of
49.
G
But
much
of
our
maintenance
over
the
next
few
years
focuses
on
these
streets
and
we
expect
to
see
a
reduced
backlog
next
year,
just
like
we
did
this
year
next
slide.
So
here's
the
historical
trend
for
our
pci.
There
was
a
big
bump
in
2017
as
councilmember
foley.
As
I
mentioned,
when
we
did
the
the
full
assessment
of
all
of
our
ada
ramps,
we
also
took
the
opportunity
to
get
a
one-time
full
assessment
of
all
of
our
streets
and
it
turned
out
our
streets
were
a
better
condition
than
we
thought
at
the
time.
G
After
a
few
years
of
holding
steady,
we
saw
a
clear
increase
this
year
and
after
reviewing
the
data,
we
expect
to
see
further
increases
in
the
coming
years
and
we
believe
we'll
reach
70
and
maybe
exceed
it
sometime
in
the
next
10
years,
which
is
the
first
time
I
can
say
this.
I
couldn't
even
say
that
last
year
slide,
so
we
use
this
slide
to
summarize
our
10-year
funding
status.
G
Fortunately,
we
are
really
well
positioned
to
maintain
the
current
pci,
which
is
again
a
67,
which
is
only
the
second
time
we
could
report
that,
notably,
you
can
see
a
steep
drop-off
in
fiscal
year
27-28.
As
our
measure
t
funding
is
expected
to
be
exhausted
and
we
will
need
other
alternative
sources
of
funding
to
keep
our
maintenance
at
a
high
level.
G
There
is
a
good
possibility,
though,
that
federal
funding
becomes
available
at
least
one
time
in
this
next
10-year
window,
though
we
can't
really
forecast
or
predict
that
at
this
time,
and
so
we
we're
not
inputting
it
into
any
of
our
projections
right
now,
but
just
for
reference.
The
those
federal
aid
projects
make
a
big
difference
this
year,
we're
delivering
one
federal
aid
project
2020
and
we're
finishing
it
this
summer.
G
So
this
one's
also
pretty
busy
this
slide
shows.
We
believe
this
is
important,
because
this
slide
shows
the
past
four
years
of
our
10-year
maintenance
projections.
So
each
year
we
perform
this
analysis
to
ensure
that
the
decisions
we
make
now
are
the
most
efficient
use
of
our
funds,
tenure
and
10
years
in
the
future.
G
This
action
alone
reduced
our
10-year
maintenance
backlog
by
50,
and
then
last
year
was
the
first
time
we
factored
in
measure
t
into
our
projections,
resulting
in
another
substantial
decrease
down
to
again.
The
10-year
projected
backlog
at
that
time
was
370
million
dollars
the
last
solid
green
line.
In
our
current
projection
we
see
a
slight
uptick,
which
is
almost
entirely
the
result
of
maintenance
required
on
the
new
miles
we
found,
but
over
a
10-year
period.
G
So
we
really
like
charts
in
d.o.t
when
I
started
with
the
city
in
2013,
we
paved
about
29
miles
and
then,
as
you
can
see,
each
of
the
following
years
we
were
able
to
increase
our
output.
As
we
received
grants,
council
prioritized
funding
for
street
maintenance
and
sb1
passed
in
a
statewide
election.
We
had
our
largest
year
ever
in
2019,
because
measure
b
had
just
survived
a
legal
challenge
and
we
essentially
had
two
years
of
saved
funding
that
we
decided
to
try
to
spend
in
one
summer,
which
was
a
was
a
big
success.
G
We
got
all
those
miles
done
that
year
in
2020,
we
received
our
first
allocation
of
measure
t
that
was
this
past
construction
season,
which
focuses
on
more
costly
and
expensive
repairs
on
the
local
streets.
That's
because
these
streets
are
just
in
worse
condition
and
have
deteriorated
over
time,
so
the
the
ratio
of
streets
where
we
have
to
do
resurfacing
is
higher
than
on
our
major
streets
as
we
focused
on
more
res.
G
Oh
sorry,
it
looks
like
you
slept
that
as
we
focused
on
more
resurfacing
streets,
our
overall
mileage
decreased,
but
2020
did
represent
our
single
largest
year
of
resurfacing,
with
over
225
miles
planned.
You
can
see
the
continuous
trend
of
increased
mileage
as
we
begin
to
tackle
our
worst
streets
and
start
moving
into
more
preventive
maintenance.
G
Next
slide,
so
2020
was
by
far
our
most
challenging
year,
but
the
team
still
below
over
2188
ramps
and
completed
the
vast
majority
of
its
scheduled
miles.
Our
winter
suspension,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
is
now
pretty
much
complete
and
we're
starting
paving
operations
again
for
the
miles
that
were
suspended.
G
We
piloted
our
first
multi-year
resurfacing
contract,
which
has
added
efficiencies
to
our
work.
As
you
can
imagine,
it
was
really
difficult
to
pay
with
our
residents
sheltered
in
place
with
cars
parked
and
residents
at
home.
The
last
thing
we
wanted
to
do
was
add
pain
for
our
residents,
but
we
collaborated
with
our
parking
compliance
officers
to
provide
enhanced
outreach
and
flyering
and
resulted
in
high
levels
of
compliance,
and
we
also
worked
with
the
council
offices
in
the
in
the
areas
impacted
and
got
the
word
out.
As
best
we
could.
G
We
had
to
quickly
transition
to
a
remote
working
environment,
but
had
transitioned
to
a
virtual
project
management
system
about
two
years
ago
that
allowed
this
team
to
continue
working
without
missing
a
beat.
Our
team
and
contractors
work
safely
and
efficiently
and
really
the
most
challenging
of
conditions,
and
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
our
dozens
of
staff,
members
and
appreciation
for
the
leadership
and
effort
for
our
next
presenter
division
manager,
frank
farshidy,.
L
Thank
you
rick
good
afternoon
committee.
My
name
is
frank:
vershidi
division
manager
for
payment
maintenance
in
dot
2021
the
current
year
that
we
are
in
will
mark
the
third
year
that
we
have
increased
payment
funding
for
main
residential
streets
and
we
are
following
the
same
strategy
which
is
paving
residential
streets
that
are
within
these
selected
zones.
So,
as
you
can
see
on
this
picture
on
this
slide
zones,
are
you
know
we?
We
have
135
payment
maintenance
zones
throughout
the
city,
and
this
is
just
one
of
them
highlighted
here.
L
You
can
think
of
these
as
these
blocks
of
streets
in
neighborhoods
that
will
be
maintained
together.
So
the
reason
that
we
we
are
going
with
this
approach
is
to
ensure
cost
savings,
delivery,
efficiency
and
overall,
provide
a
better
customer
service
to
our
residents,
because
not
just
one
street
at
a
time
will
get
maintained
the
whole
entire
zone
or
that
pavement
maintenance
zone
will
be
maintained.
L
Another
important
note
here
is,
with
you
know,
within
a
within
a
pavement
maintenance
zone.
We
could
have
different
treatments,
and
you
have
probably
have
observed
that
in
your
districts,
so
depending
on
the
street,
condition
could
either
have
a
ceiling
or
a
resurfacing
street,
but
overall
zones
are
selected
based
on
their
average
weighted
average
pci,
and
our
strategy
is
still
to
select
those
zones
with
these
with
the
lowest
pcis.
L
While
we
consider
the
geographical
input
across
the
city
so
meaning
we,
you
know,
we
look
at
the
big
picture
and
we
also
get
input
from
stakeholders
and
we
verify
conditions
in
the
field
before
we
finalize
next
slide.
Please
so
just
a
little
more
information
about
our
2021
project.
So
in
2021
this
current
year
we
are
going
to
have
13
minor
construction
projects
and
eight
major
construction
projects.
L
We
have
used
this
new
past
measure
by
the
by
the
voters
that
we
could
tailor
the
our
concrete
ada
care
ramp
works
for
for
these
type
of
smaller
projects,
which
is
a
prep
work
for
our
for
our
pavement
projects,
major
projects,
those
are
defined
as
larger
projects.
They
are
larger
in
both
value
and
scope,
mainly
for
pavement
related
work
that
we
have
throughout
the
city.
L
L
L
So,
as
you
remember
d.o.t,
you
know
we,
we
set
a
goal
for
ourselves
to
maintain
all
residential
streets
in
san
jose
by
2028
and
we
are.
We
are
on
track
to
meet
this
go
goal
as
we
speak,
so
you
know,
but
the
progress
that
we've
made,
especially
on
the
residential
side
since
three
years
ago
and
2021,
would
be
the
third
year
we
are
going
to
be
on
track
and
to
provide
you
just
some
statistics
on
the
production.
L
Since
we
started
the
presidential
program
in
2019,
you
see
we
have
maintained
320
miles
in
32
different
zones
between
2019
and
2020,
and
that
remain.
You
know
we
have
100
1232
miles
still
remaining,
but
we
are
on
track
and
we
think
we
will
be
able
to
complete
all
of
them
by
2028
leveraging
all
the
funding
source
and
assuming
that
those
are
going
to
be
there
and
you
can.
We
continue
to
factor
in
the
street
condition
the
feedback
from
development
and
safety
projects.
L
We
understand
that
equity
and
service
delivery
is
an
important
item
for
our
community
and
the
council
and
to
better
understand
how
pavement
maintenance
maintenance
compares
to
areas
of
concerns
within
san
jose.
Our
office
actually
started
a
research
on
this
topic
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
looked
at
the
most
reliable
data
that
we
could
find
available
to
to
the
public
to
on.
You
know
to
us
online,
and
we
found
this
equity
tool
developed
by
metropolitan
transportation.
L
L
L
We're
also
working
currently
working
with
the
office
of
racial
equity
to
better
understand
the
needs
and
therefore
we
could
align
our
strategy
with
that,
and
we
have
shared
a
copy
of
this
presentation
with
the
director
and
trying
to
be
proactive
on
this
and
understand.
You
know
the
details
that
are
going
to
come
out
soon.
L
L
So,
as
you
remember,
minor
projects
or
those
are
the
smaller
less
than
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
projects,
plus
twelve
major
projects
for
a
total
of
twenty
nine
projects
this
year,
so
twenty
nine
adverse
projects
overall
and
if
we
were
to
compare
that
to
last
year,
we
had
roughly
22
projects
between
both
minor
and
major
projects.
So
it
is
an
increase
of
seven,
and
mainly
the
increase
is
towards
the
minor
contract.
L
Overall,
you
know
so
far,
24
of
all
the
miners
that
we
have
successfully
advertising
open
beds
on
24
have
been
awarded
to
small
local
businesses
and
we're
still
in
the
you
know,
early
stages.
This
is
the
time
that
we
we
go
out
to
bed
and
we
advertise
and
we
sell
the
contractors
and
all
major
contracts
will
be
coming
to
council
for
award.
L
But
we
are
happy
with
you
know,
with
what
we've
seen
so
far.
Total
combined
miles
between
major
and
local
neighborhood
streets
or
residential
streets
is
222
miles
and
we
have,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
on
this
on
the
table,
the
the
row
right
before
the
last
one.
We
have
a
multi-year
contract,
so
this
was
the
this
is
the
continue,
so
this
is
going
to
be
the
first
renewal
on
that
multi-year
contract
last
year.
We
did
one
we
advertised
one
multi-year
contract,
it
was
a.
L
It
was
a
success,
and
this
year
we
we
are
going
to
advertise
another
multi-year
contract.
We
were
happy
with
the
contractors
performance,
so
we
are
exercising
their
renewal
option
for
2021,
so
that
particular
project
on
the
residential
side
is
going
to
start
earlier,
because
we
don't
we.
We
are
saving
a
lot
of
time
in
the
procurement
phase
and
we
could
go
right
into
construction
on
that
one.
L
Our
pci
as
rick
mentioned,
has
increased
to
upwards
of
67,
so
we
decided
to
round
it
down
to
67,
but
it
is
definitely
on
the
upper
end
of
67
and
overall
funding
shortfall
has
decreased
to
only
2.1
million,
and
our
major
streets
is
in
a
very
good
condition:
pci
77,
and
that's
why
you
know,
as
you
saw
in
the
other
slides
our
need,
is
also
a
pretty
decent
meaning.
It's
not
a
big
number,
as
we
could
see
if
we
could
get
our
streets
to
a
good
condition.
L
L
L
So
we
to
improve
our
public
outreach
and
coordination
with
all
of
our
stakeholders
and
provide
transparency
both
to
the
public
and
our
program.
We
started
launching
this
live
payment
project
story,
map
website.
The
link
is
provided
on
this
slide.
For
you
is
you
can
see
that
the
web,
the
website
has
two
major
tabs
that
you
could
click
on
so
the
first
tab
and
the
main
tab
is
the
the
picture
that
you
see
on
the
upper
right
hand
side.
So
that
tell
that
gives
you
an
idea
of
that
particular
year.
L
L
L
I
want
to
thank
thank
all
of
our
team
members,
so
this
slide
just
puts
together
some
pictures
that
all
of
these
pictures,
except
for
that
first
one
on
the
left.
These
are
pictures
pre-covered.
Obviously,
but
you
know
we
have
a.
We
have
a
great
team
and
we
couldn't
do
all
of
the
work
without
them,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
and
express
my
gratitude
to
to
our
team.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
attention
and
we're
open
for
questions.
M
It
is
inadequate
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
the
photos,
the
pictures
of
the
streets.
I
can't
read
them,
I'm
the
public
here
you
you
do
your
presentation
is
for
me
not
just
the
council,
it's
for
me
to
understand
and
to
be
able
to
see,
and
so
what
I
would
like
is
this
presentation
to
be
done
again,
but
with
actual
pictures
where
I
could
see
the
street
names
and
really
see
my
city
sectioned
off.
M
You
know
these
are
this
is
this
is
inadequate,
and
this
is
this
is
what
has
happened
historically
to
where
you
know
just
it's
almost
like
there's
a
passive,
aggressive
kind
of
relationship
that
the
city
government
is
having
with
its
citizenry.
You
know,
and
so
that's
out.
That
is
that
is
not
adequate
and
I
hope
somebody
says
something
about
it.
That's
number
one
number,
two,
the
equity
lens
you
use
the
word
equity.
M
You
described
that
you
were
bringing
a
presentation
to
the
office
of
racial
equity,
but
I
want
to
really
know
within
this
context,
how
that's
articulated?
What
do
you
mean?
Did
you
access
them
for
what
purpose?
And
why
do
we
have
a
racial
equity
office
involved
in
the
infrastructure
of
our
city?
To
begin
with
see
these
are
the
questions
that
we
need
answered
as
from
from
a
public's
perspective,
we
need
these.
M
We
need
these
questions
asked
and
we
need
them
answered
and
if
it
requires,
we
ask
a
follow-up
question
in
order
to
really
get
a
sense,
because
in
the
dr
stephen
petey's
book
in
sasi
puedes,
it
shows
little
kids
playing
in
open
sewage,
dirt
roads.
I
have
pictures
any
of
the
council.
Members
would
like
pictures
of
the
infrastructure
in
sasi
puedes
in
the
1940s,
50s
and
60s.
I
have
them
in
my
possession.
I
will
share
them
with
you
all
in
terms
and
then
show
pictures
of
the
infrastructure
of
willow
glen.
M
H
H
C
H
H
H
How
can
the
public
meeting
process
be
a
place
to
actually
more
constructively
talk
about
issues
and
and
the
issues
of
equity?
What
exactly
are
you
talking
to
them
about?
What
can
be
pointers
for
the
public
that
you
are
talking
about
with
with
the
equity
office?
You
know
it's.
How
do
we
heighten
that
process
and
when
we
go,
how
do
we
go
to
the
next
step?
Yeah,
that's
going
to
become
an
important
point
for
myself
in
the
next
few
months.
So
thank
you
for
paul
soto.
H
For
those
words
for
this
item
you
know
it
was
mentioned.
You're
gonna
have
little
monitors
for
pavement
functioning,
how
it's
working
well.
Those
little
monitors
have
a
real
tendency
to
collect
a
lot
of
other
data,
and
it's
exactly
why
we
need
the
ideas
of
open
public
policy
practices,
a
surveillance
technology
ordinance
that
will
be
starting
to
come
through,
it's
being
asked
about
by
council
person,
commanders,
apparently
and
and
others
of
advocacy
local
advocacy.
H
Thank
you
for
that,
and
you
know
it's
a
real
effort
to
do
that.
I
think
measure
t
public
over
site
is
not
going
to
be
enough.
I
think
that
was
initially
slated
to
be
oversight
for
the
technology
of
measure
t
it
needs
to
be
more
than
that.
Thank
you
incredibly,
that
you're
introducing
possible
privacy,
advocacy
committee
and
service
for
surveillance
and
technology
ordinance
ideas
for
this
stuff.
Like
the
pavement
monitoring.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Very
briefly,
I'd
like
to
record
the
other
concerns
that
paul
soto
erased
with
regard
with
the
apparent
conflict
between
the
way
our
elected
officials
are
coming,
these
meetings
and
the
needs
of
the
general
public
in
the
interest
of
time
I'll
be
addressing
what
I
intend
to
do
about
the
issue
during
open
forum
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thank
you
staff
for
the
presentation.
I
have
obviously
seen
these
numerous
times
but
I'll.
I
guess
I'll
reiterate
what
we've
heard
from
the
community
it.
I
guess
it
doesn't
help
with
some
of
the
imagery
that
we
put
in
the
slides.
So
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
just
something
to
kind
of
rethink
and
determine
how
we
might
best
want
to
display
that
it's.
I
guess
it's
helpful,
just
as
a
little
caption,
but
I
think
you
know
what
we.
A
What
we
really
use,
which
is
a
great
tool
that
we
asked
staff
to
create,
was
the
online
map
that
actually
shows
the
trajectory
for
the
next
three
years
and
what's
been
done
in
the
past,
and
that's
actually
a
great
interactive
map,
and
I
know
that
that's
what
you're
displaying
here
in
the
presentation
slides
but
it
but
unfortunately
right
it
is.
It
is
difficult
to
actually
see
what
those
really
are
so,
maybe
even
for
future
presentations.
A
We
could
just
even
bring
up
the
interactive
mac
map
interactive
map
and
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
some
of
the
areas,
because
I
do
think
it
is.
It
is
actually
a
great
resource
and
unfortunately,
even
though
we
promote
it,
not
a
lot
of
people
are
aware
of
of
that
resource
and
then,
in
regards
to
this
actually
piggybacks
off
my
comments
from
the
last
presentation.
A
This
is
now
right.
Our
spending
plan
on
getting
at
some
of
the
deferred
maintenance-
and
I
was
looking
in
the
report
for
something
that
a
section
that
addressed
the
measuring
of
equity
and
it's
not
there,
but
I
did
see
it
come
up.
Obviously,
in
your
your
presentation,
there
was
the
one
slide
about
it
that
sort
of
maps
out
the
mcc
using
mtc's
communities
of
concern,
and
that
was
the
the
map
that
was
displayed,
but
that's
also
the
map,
that's
pretty
one
of
the
maps.
Obviously
that's
pretty
hard
to
to
view.
A
I
would
like
to
see
this
in
the
report
in
subsequent
years,
and
so
looking
at
the
the
memo
itself.
The
report
itself
I'd
like
to
see
a
section
rather
than
just
a
slide
in
in
the
presentation
that
actually
gets
a
little
bit
of
context
in
regards
to
you,
know
the
the
communities
of
concern
themselves
and
and
gives
us
a
better
understanding
of
why,
right
that
actually
talks
about
sort
of
some
of
these
areas
that
may
have
you
know
concerns
as
to
to
why
we
would
want
to
prioritize
them.
K
Council
member,
this
is
john
russo,
director
transportation,
yeah
rick
probably
wants
to
jump
into,
but
that's
a
really
good
suggestion
and
you
know
we
have
been.
We
are
using
the
best
available
data
that
we
have
right
now,
but
I'm
sure
there's
more
learning
that
we
can
do
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
office
of
racial
racial
equity.
So,
to
answer
your
question
I
think
certainly
we
could
expand
on
the
way
we
will
be
considering
equity
and
other
many
considerations
like
that
that
go
into
that
in
the
future.
K
G
Well,
if
I
could
just
kind
of
even
build
on
that,
I
think
that's
our
intention.
Actually,
you
know,
I
think,
where
we
are
kind
of
as
a
life
cycle
of
the
of
the
department
of
racial
equity
is,
is
trying
to
find
ways.
I
know
citywide
to
incorporate
findings
and
tools
into
the
work
that
we
do
and
I
know
we're
all
all
the
various
departments
are
doing
that
and
it's
absolutely
our
intention
to
incorporate
that
once
we
have
kind
of
gain
the
knowledge
and
a
little
bit
more
understanding
and
can
speak
to
it.
K
K
Once
we
find
the
right
data
pieces
to
use,
it's
a
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
we're
still
trying
to
sort
out
of
what's
the
best
data
to
use
when
using
that-
and
I
think
that's
where
that
that
office
is
going
to
really
help
us
out
to
get
standardized
in
our
decision
making
using
different
data
data
sources
so
a
year
from
now,
I'm
sure
we
will
have
a
lot
more
information
and-
and
we
do
look
at
what
other
cities
and
other
areas
of
the
country
are
doing
as
well.
So.
A
We
have
a
a
number
of
factors
right
that
we
that
we
take
into
consideration
as
we
decide
where
to
pave.
But
historically,
one
of
those
factors
that
we
have
not
taken
into
consideration
has
been
has
been
equity
and
in
the
differing
needs
throughout
the
community,
and
that
was
one
of
my
big
hopes
because,
as
was
just
reported
on
the
the
last
the
last
report,
this
is
our
single
biggest
need
in
deferred
maintenance,
maintenance
and
infrastructure
right.
A
This
is
the
biggest
chunk
that
we've
been
putting
in
and
now
that
we're
a
couple
years
in
I'd,
really
love
to
see
that
we
actually
can
utilize
this
new
office.
It
you
know,
we
we
approved
it
a
year
later
then
I
had
and
my
colleagues
some
of
my
colleagues
had
hoped
that
it
would
be
approved,
but
but
it's
here
now
and
I
do
appreciate
we'll
work
with
them.
I
do
think
I
will
tell
you,
because
I
have
looked
into
the
communities
of
concern
mapping
that
mtc
has
done.
A
I
do
think
that
is
a
great
base
to
start
with,
and
I
I'm
not
you
know,
I'm
going
to
say
that
that's
the
perfect
data
set
to
utilize,
but
in
looking
at
it
myself,
it
does
overlay
very
well
with
what
I
think
we
understand
our
our
biggest
communities
of
concern
here
in
the
city,
so
I
think
you're
using
some
of
the
right
data
sets
it's
just.
Unfortunately,
I
think
you
know
this
year.
It
only
made
its
way
into
a
flight.
A
A
Could
we
move
around
some
of
the
the
funding
right,
that's
in
outer
years
and
maybe
speed
it
up
a
little
sooner
in
some
areas
that
that
I
personally
know
have
greater
need,
and
so
thank
you
for
for
doing
that,
but
I
don't
think
it
necessarily
should
be
something
that
is.
You
know
that
shouldn't
be
something
that's
just
done
on
an
annual
basis
in
conversations
depending
on
whoever
the
council
member
is
right.
A
Even
if
it's
not
perfect
I'd
like
to
see
you
know
much
more
progress
next
year
on
this
and
actually
see
it
in
the
report
than
than
what
we've
seen
this
year.
All
things
considered,
though
I
understand
right
this.
This
office
is
brand
new.
It's
just
getting
up
and
running
and
and
certainly
recognize
the
the
realities
there.
But
that's
why
I'm
asking
I'm
hoping
that
by
next
year
right
we
can.
We
can
certainly
see
that
folded
into
the
report.
B
J
J
K
Yeah,
council
member-
this
is
john
risto.
Again,
thanks,
really
good
questions
and
following
up
on
customer
problems.
So,
yes,
we
have
that
data
and
it
is
available
for
all
of
the
streets
and
historically
too,
we
actually
used
that
data
in
the
measure
t
ballot
that
went
forward
to
actually
indicate
which
streets
were
actually
the
worst
condition
and
that's
what
was
actually
voted
on.
K
So
we
we
used
that
data
to
identify
all
those
streets
that
were
really
bad
and
those
were
the
roughly
300
300
miles
of
streets
that
were
in
the
worst
condition.
That's
what
measure
t
went
for
so
we
we
do
have
a
pretty
good
set
of
data
that
that
we
can
use
to
do
that
now.
Now
the
good
news
is,
as
rick
pointed
out,
news
presentation
we
are.
K
K
So,
although
we
definitely
are
trying
to
prioritize
what
ones
that
make
sense,
because
the
different
funding
sources
need
to
go
to
different
types
of
conditions
of
roadway,
so
it
is
a
little
bit
of
a
balancing
act,
but
all
of
that
kind
of
the
equity
considerations,
input
from
council
offices
and
and
community
and
then
a
lot
of
engineering
data
goes
into
the
decisions
to
make
that.
So
you
are
right,
we've
got
that
data
and
we
can
certainly
make
use
of
that
and
actually
or
portray
that
in
other
ways.
J
As
well,
I
know
you're
using
that
data
to
prioritize
what
neighborhoods
get
prioritized
in
terms
of
overall
neighborhoods
have
lower
pci
scores,
get
done.
First,
it's
a
little
more
complicated
and
I
appreciate
the
complexity
of
your
work,
because,
certainly
you
don't
want
to
pay
something.
That's
about
to
have
utility
work
done,
so
you
sometimes
have
to
yeah.
There's.
G
K
G
Not
only
are
there
bad
roads
all
over
the
city,
but
the
variables
that
impact
the
condition
go
beyond
you
know,
maybe
decisions
that
were
made
by
maintenance
staff
in
the
past
over
which
streets
to
maintain
in
which
trees
not
to
maintain.
For
instance,
you
know
due
to
the
nature
of
some
of
the
streets,
you
know,
do
the
location
of
some
of
the
streets
in
in
council
district
six,
because
there's
marshland
and
other
things
there,
the
streets
there
tend
to
be
in
really
bad
shape,
even
in
kind
of
relatively
affluent
areas.
G
So
I
think
that's
why
we
want
to
work
with
the
office
of
racial
equities.
There's
a
lot
of
variables
that
go
into
kind
of
the
condition,
and
we
did
try
to
find
that
kind
of
discrete
connection
between
communities
of
concern
and
pci
and
just
could
not
find
a
correlation
necessarily
between
the
two.
So
that's
why
we're
trying
to
kind
of
measure
as
much
as
we
can
and
gain
you
know,
really
the
experience
and
the
knowledge
to
be
able
to
properly
assess
you
know
this
is
a
variable
that
guides
our
decision
making.
J
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
just
one
last
question,
so
I
mean
your
online
story.
Map
is
actually
very,
very
helpful.
I
love
it
because
you
can
look
and
see.
What's
been
done.
What's
what's
yet
to
be
done,
your
map
goes
through
2023.
I
assume
so.
Your
your
plan
to
plan
is
to
roll
out
one
year
at
a
time
beyond
2023,
so
at
the
end
of
this
year,
we'll
see
2024..
G
That's
pretty
much
it
because
of
the
conversations
we're
having
now
and
we
believe
it's
really
important
to
have
some
flexibility
in
the
out
years.
As
far
as
the
decisions
that
we
make
on
pavement
maintenance
and
also
keep
our
credibility
with
the
public,
you
know,
so
we
don't
want
to
put
out
a
plan.
Then
we
change
and
then
people
who
think
they're
on
tap
for
2024
are
no
longer
on
tap
for
2024.
That's
why
we
feel
that
that
three-year
suggestion
was
reasonable.
For
us,
our
paving
our
our
funding
streams
are
relatively
consistent.
J
G
It
was
really
important
for
me,
as
we
rolled
this
out,
that
I
could,
if
I
said
something
was
being
paved
in
2023.
We
felt
pretty
confident
that
that
was
the
plan
and
things
change
a
lot.
You
know
for
a
number
of
reasons
and
we're
open
to
that,
but
I
just
think
that
the
credibility
is
so
important,
especially
when
you're
sharing
a
public
tool
like
this
we
want
to.
We
want
to
be
pretty
sure
we
can
do
it
well,.
G
J
By
the
way,
let
me
not
not
get
into
detail
that
show
up
on
your
map
twice,
just
because
that's
the
nature
of
things
like
this,
so
I
mean
I,
you
know
we.
I
understand
this
is
a
huge,
complicated
project
and
things
are
gonna
that
things
are
to
happen.
So
you
know
we.
We
know
that
there's
going
to
be
errors
like
that
that
occur
so,
but
I
I
think
it's
a
great
tool.
I
really
appreciate
it.
So
thank
you
very
much.
B
B
Right
is
equity,
but
really
equity
is
built
into
the
infrastructure
and
everything
we
do
as
a
city,
and
we
actually
talked
about
the
last
unpaved
road
being
in
district
7
at
that
time,
because
you
know
our
city
is
inequitable
and-
and
so
I
I
appreciate
that-
and
I
appreciate
d.o.t
sort
of
recognizing
that
we
need
to
really
look
at
this
and
consider
equity
and
look
at
the
communities
of
concern,
and
so
I
wanted
to
give
some
feedback.
I
don't
know
where
the
office
of
racial
equity
is
on
this.
B
So
we
have
overcrowded
census
tracks
and
because
we've
run
into
some
of
this
issue
with
in
my
district
is,
there
might
be
a
household
of
12
people.
Three
of
them
may
have
cars,
and
that
leaves
the
rest
of
the
folks
needing
to
be
able
to
get
around
without
a
car.
And
so
I
think
those
are
some
ways
to
kind
of
look
at
equity
in
some
of
these
conditions,
and
I
also
wanted
to
address
equity
and
process
again
based
on
my
feedback,
with
the
measure
b.
B
The
mclaughlin
project
and
measure
t,
which
is
I'd
really
like
to
thank
frank
and
the
whole
team
for
working
with
district
7
and
john.
The
whole
team
was
very
open
to
trying
new
things,
and
one
of
the
things
we
learned
early
on
was
to
work
with.
Schools
is
particularly
in
an
area
that
has
a
big
digital
divide.
B
B
You
guys
have
been
incredible
partners,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that,
and
so
that's
really
my
feedback.
I
I
did
want
to
add
one
more
thing
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
equity
and
sections
that
we
pave
or
prioritize
paving,
and
some
of
them
are
that
we
do
have
those
areas
that
in
in
that,
have
more
resources
that
might
have
worse
roads,
but
again,
as
we
start
getting
into
how
it's
used.
B
How
many
folks
live
in
that
area
right,
the
incredible
overcrowding
and
folks
that
are
using
it,
but
one
of
the
other
things
to
consider
would
be
to
also
look
at.
How
long
has
it
been
since
that
neighborhood
has
gotten
any
kind
of
attention
whatsoever,
because
I
know
some
of
the
work
that
dot
has
done
in
my
district
it's
been
decades,
and
so
it's
been
much
appreciated
to
partner
and
go
out
there,
and
I
look
forward
to
incorporating
equity
even
more
into
the
next
iteration
of
this
report.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
esparza,
and
I
I
want
to
thank
staff.
I,
like
the
the
analogy
of
d.o.t,
is
santa
claus
right
now,
because
I
think
it
is
very
true
that
everybody
loves
getting
their
street
paved
even
if
it's
a
minor
inconvenience
at
the
time-
and
I
I've
said
it
before.
I
love
the
payment
story
map
and
we
we
promote
that
on
our
in
our
monthly
newsletter,
not
every
month,
but
probably
about
once
a
quarter,
because
we
get
a
lot
of
questions
on.
C
When
is
my
street
going
to
be
paved
when
they
hear
2028
to
council
member
cohen's
point
everyone
wants
to
know:
okay,
when's
mine
going
to
be
paved
and-
and
of
course
we,
when
I
say
by
2028
at
the
latest,
everyone
always
thinks
they're
going
to
be
the
last
one.
Oh
that's
too
long,
so
it's
really
helpful
to
have
the
three-year
look
so
that
so
that
people
can
know.
C
If
you
know
it
just
checks
off
that
box,
if
they
are
in
the
in
the
three
year
ahead-
and
I
completely
understand
rick
your
comments
about
only
only
being
able
to
do
three
years-
and
I
actually
have
a
question
about
that.
We've
been
talking
about
heat
island
effect
and
this
kind
of
goes
into
the
the
equity
conversation
as
well,
and
I
had
I'd
actually
gotten
a
question
during
office
hours
that
I
couldn't
answer
last
last
wednesday
and
it
was
about
how
asphalt
can
be
made
to
be
more
environmentally
friendly.
C
K
I
think
I'll
turn.
This
is
john
risto
again
director
and
I
think
I'll
turn
that
one
over
to
dr
pavement,
frank
farshidy,
see
he
is
our
expert
in
all
things,
and
maybe
frank
can
give
there
are
cities
experimenting
in
some
of
that
and
before
frank
starts,
one
of
the
things
that
really
helps
with
that
is
a
very
good
tree,
canopy
cover
of
the
city
which
you're
going
to
be
hearing
more
about
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
So
we've
got
plan
for
that
coming
forward
too,
but
frank.
What
about
different,
paving
treatments.
L
Yes,
thank
you
councilmember
for
bringing
it
up.
We
actually
started.
Look
if
you
I
recall
that
I
think
it
was
two
and
a
half
years
ago
when
the
topic
came
up,
and
it
was
mainly
from
from
an
experiment
or
a
pilot
project
that
the
city
of
la
conducted
on
their
streets,
where
they
went
ahead
with
sealing
very
good
streets
with
this.
L
You
know
sealing
product
where
it
would
gray
them
out
instead
of
a
black
air
colors,
to
reduce
that
urban
heat
island
effect,
and
we
looked
into
that.
We
we
actually
visited
city
of
la,
we
discussed
the
details
with
them
and
we
reached
out
to
the
vendor
that
they
were
using
at
the
time.
We
inquired
a
lot
a
lot
of
questions
about.
You
know
the
the
longevity
of
that
color.
You
know
color
change
and
everything
else,
but
the
more
we
looked
into
it.
L
It
takes
a
lot
of
effort
and
it
is
costly.
It's
very
costly
as
well.
It's
still
at
this
time
to
get
it
and
to
make
that
change,
and
also
we
there's
no
performance
on.
How
long
is
it
going
to
last,
and
you
know
what
is
the
difference
between
a
because
most
most
of
the
new
streets
with
time
they
change
their
color
to
the
aggregate
color.
So
if
you
notice
a
brand
new
pavement
with
asphalt,
it
has
that
asphalt
binder,
which
is
the
bottom
of
the
crude
oil
color
to
it.
L
L
So
we
didn't
want
to
just
jump
into
it
and
say
well,
you
know
we
could
try
it
out,
but
we
we
are
still
monitoring
that
we
are
getting
information,
not
just
from
the
city
of
la
and
the
vendors,
because
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of,
you
know
misinformation
as
well,
that
you
know
sometimes
you
get
from
vendors.
We
we
also
looked
into
the
academia,
and
you
know
the
research,
the
independent
research
that
had
that's
still
happening
nationally.
L
So
I'm
involved
in
one
of
the
tra
trb
transportation,
research
board
committees,
it's
specifically
called
urban
heath
island
for
raven
communities
and
mainly
local
agency
cities
and
counties.
So
this
there's
still,
you
know
not
one.
You
know
black
or
white
recommendation
either
way,
so
we're
still
definitely
looking
into
it.
It
is
a
topic
that
we
are
very
interested
in,
but
at
this
time
we're
not
yeah
we're
not
pursuing
that
particular
vendor
and
product
that
I
mentioned,
but.
C
C
A
N
C
O
That's
correct
good
afternoon,
chair
davis
and
the
rest
of
the
transportation
environment
committee.
Thank
you
for
having
us.
This
is
the
regional
transportation
activities
report
and
for
council
members,
cohen
and
foley,
who
this
is
new
for
just
wanted.
To
give
a
little
bit
of
background
four
times
a
year.
The
department
of
transportation
highlights
the
major
regional
projects
and
activities
that
are
going
on
within
our
overall
transportation
system.
O
So
what
you'll
see
with
this
report
is
a
memorandum
that
has
all
of
the
major
projects
that
we
consider
both
city
projects
and
those
of
our
partners,
and
it
tries
to
essentially
give
you
a
compendium
in
that
memorandum.
That's
posted
with
this
report,
but
then
we
choose
a
couple
of
projects:
try
to
keep
it
manageable,
to
highlight
for
you
each
time,
and
so
this
quarter
we're
being
joined
by
our
colleagues
from
the
california
high-speed
rail
authority
and
the
vta
valley
transportation
authority
to
talk
specifically
about
three
projects.
O
If
I
can
advance
there,
we
go
so
we're
gonna,
hear
first
from
boris
lipkin
at
the
high
speed
rail
authority,
second
from
bernice
alanis
with
vta
and
then
third
from
ken
ronci
about
the
eastridge
debart
regional
connector,
lovingly
referred
to
as
capital
light
rail
still
most
people.
So
I
am
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
boris
lipkin.
We
will
go
ahead
and
do
all
three
of
the
presentations
and
and
if
it's
okay
with
the
committee,
then
we'll
take
questions
at
the
end,
but
we'll
all
to
answer
those
questions
all
right.
P
Okay,
thank
you
jess
and
thanks
for
the
for
the
committee
for
having
me,
my
name
is
boris
lipkin,
I'm
the
northern
california,
regional
director
with
the
high-speed
rail
authority,
and
I
guess
I'll
before
I
start
apologize
to
chair
davis
and
councilman
perales.
You
guys.
You
both
saw
this
presentation
on
friday
at
the
joint
policy
advisory
board
meeting,
and
it
looks
very
similar
as
it's
the
same
update
on
the
our
revised
draft
2020
business
plan.
P
P
And
maybe,
while
at
least
it's
not
changing,
oh
okay,
all
right
and
one
more
sorry.
Thank
you
as
it's
loading,
I
think,
just
for
a
bit
of
background
for
for
those
new
to
to
high-speed
rail.
The
program,
of
course,
is
a
is
a
statewide
high-speed
rail
system
that
was
first
approved
by
the
voters
back
in
2008..
P
P
So
the
authority
took
a
few
steps
back
to
really
analyze
and
be
able
to
to
articulate
the
impacts
of
covid
for
what
that
means
for
the
program
and
the
effects
of
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
respond
to
a
variety
of
questions
that
had
come
up
in
legislative
hearings
at
the
time
of
the
release,
and
so
having
done
that
work,
we
then
have
come
back
now
with
what
we're
calling
the
revised
draft
2020
business
plan.
This
plan
is
out
for
public
comments
through
march
12th.
P
There
will
be
a
board
hearing
on
it
tomorrow,
where
our
board
will
accept
public
comment
and
then
they'll
consider
adoption
with
any
edits
and
changes
between
the
draft
and
what
will
ultimately
be
the
final
at
their
march
25th
meeting
before
submitting
it
to
the
legislature.
So
that's
kind
of
just
the
process
and
steps
in
front
of
us
and
then,
if
we
get
into
the
content
next
slide,
please.
P
P
While
we
are
not
an
operating
entity
and
I'm
sure
you've
heard
lots
of
discussion
about
various
transit
operators
who
have
faced
substantial
revenue
and
other
and
ridership
shortfalls,
we
have
had
similar
effects
on
some
of
our
funding,
including
the
performance
of
cap
and
trade
auctions
over
the
course
of
the
year
have
fallen
significantly.
Of
course,
we've
had
to
quarantine
workers
and
we've
faced
a
number
of
different
other
delays
over
the
course
of
the
year.
P
So
doubling
that
over
the
course
of
the
year
and
of
course
that
equates
to
substantial
progress
in
the
construction
work,
as
well
as
a
substantial
economic
contributions,
where
many
other
industries
have
been
forced
into
into
layoffs
and
and
other
challenges
for
for
those
communities
involved.
Next
slide,
please.
P
P
Next
slide,
please
what
the
so
that's
sort
of
tracking
the
progress
since
our
last
business
plan.
What
the
business
plan
lays
out
in
terms
of
the
path
forward
on
the
program
is
right.
Now
we
have
119
miles
that
are
already
in
construction.
That's
the
work!
That's
I
was
just
describing
in
terms
of
the
the
number
of
workers
and
structures,
etc.
That's
in
front
of
us
and
actively
happening.
P
The
next
steps,
as
the
plan
lays
out,
are
extensions
up
to
merced
and
bakersfield,
so
that
we
can,
as
our
ceo
says,
get
out
of
the
fields
and
into
the
cities
in
the
central
valley
that
adds
about
another
50
miles
to
of
construction,
that
we
need
to
do
that.
Segment
is
already
environmentally
cleared,
and
we've
entered
into
a
mou
with
our
state
transportation
agency
and
the
san
joaquin
joint
powers
authority
to
provide
an
interim
operating
service.
As
soon
as
that
segment
of
the
track
is
completed.
P
We
are
looking
at
a
potential
opportunity
for
some
deferral.
We
will
eventually
need
two
tracks
across
that
entire
segment.
We
might
start
with
a
phase
track
implementation,
where
we
would
build
out
a
main
single
track,
as
well
as
passing
sightings
for
that
interim
service
operation.
But
we're
going
to
look
at
that
as
we
get
bids
on
our
track
and
systems
contract
and
to
see
whether
that
adds
extra
complexity
later
on
or
in
cost
implications.
P
But
that
is
an
option
that
the
plan
kind
of
puts
forward,
because
we
can
meet
our
service
obligations
with
without
the
second
full
track
at
the
at
the
beginning.
And
then
we
conducted
a
independent
peer
review
of
the
ridership
forecast
for
the
central
valley
line.
This
was
a
in
response
to
some
of
some
of
the
requests
from
the
legislature
that
we
got
to
really
validate.
P
P
So
if
that's
what's
sort
of
happening
in
the
central
valley
and
that's
obviously
one
focus
of
the
plan,
is
we
have
119
miles
under
construction?
How
we're
going
to
get
that
into
service
and
what
will
that
look
like
the
other
part?
Is
that
the?
Of
course
we
are
continuing
to
advance
the
entire
system,
not
just
in
the
central
valley,
but
across
what
the
entirety
of
what
we
call
phase,
one
which
is
from
san
francisco
through
san
jose
through
the
central
valley
and
then
down
to
los
angeles
and
anaheim.
P
And
so
we
made
a
big
progress
on
that.
Last
year,
we
issued
four
draft
environmental
documents
across
that
system,
including
the
two
sections
in
northern
california,
san
jose,
merced
and
san
francisco
to
san
jose.
And
then,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
those
two
segments.
We
are
continuing
to
advance
through
the
environmental
clearance
process.
P
We're
working
on
responding
to
the
comments
that
we
received
and
then
we'd
be
looking
to
bring
those
back
for
the
their
approval
roughly
this
time
next
year
for
or
even
a
little
earlier
for
san
jose
merced
and
then
in
q2,
for
san
francisco
to
san
jose
and
then
clearing
the
entire
phase,
one
system
by
2023.
So
this
is
probably
the
largest
environmental
clearance
effort
under
ever
undertaken
under
both
cico
and
nepa,
but
we
have
made
substantial
progress.
We
still
have,
of
course,
more
work
to
do
next
slide,
please.
P
P
We
will
be
coming
back
out
in
the
next
couple
of
months
with
some
recirculated
materials.
This
is
mostly
focused
on
some
changes
to
how
certain
species
are
dealt
with
in
the
california
arms
endangered
species
act
as
well
as
under
the
national
endangered
species
acts.
So
you
will
see
some
additional
noticing
and
information
from
us.
P
Those
are
relatively
minor
revisions
to
the
documents,
but,
of
course,
we're
also
simultaneously
working
on
responding
to
all
of
the
comments
that
we
received
and
then
ultimately
looking
to
bring
both
the
responses
and
any
changes
to
the
documents
to
our
board.
As
I
mentioned
early
next
year,
next
slide,
please
a
few
other
things
that
the
business
plan
focuses
in
on.
There's
a
big
discussion
around
risk
and
then
the
steps
that
we
are
taking
to
manage
risks
on
the
program.
P
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
what
that
means
and
what
the
business
plan
lays
out
for
northern
california
is
a
policy
recommendation
to
use
available
resources
to
complete,
what's
called
stage
gate
3
in
on
the
previous
slide,
and
so
that
includes
the
environmental
clearance
which
we've
sort
of
talked
as
to
as
the
this
big
milestone.
That's
been
in
front
of
us
for
quite
a
while,
and
that
milestone
seems
more
within
reach
and
grasp
for
for
this
at
this
stage
and
so
we're
starting
to
look
at
what
happens
after
that.
P
You
know
we're
going
to
all
wake
up
and
and
have
that
completed.
But
what
the
business
plan
talks
about
is
the
next
steps
in
order
to
advance
the
program
that
includes
geotechnical
investigations,
which
is
sort
of
the
critical
path
item
in
pacheco,
pass
to
get
us
from
the
central
valley
to
san
jose
and
in
the
bay
area
as
as
well
as
advancing
the
design
work.
So
we
can
do
better,
right-of-way
mapping
starting
to
really
understand
the
risks.
P
The
various
sets
of
agreements
that
we
will
need
both
with
jurisdictions,
as
well
as
with
utilities
and
other
other
partners,
and
then,
of
course,
getting
into
the
pre-construction
activities
that'll,
ultimately
allow
us
to
build
the
stretch
of
the
system
next
slide.
Please
there
has
so
and
this
going
to
a
few
different
directions,
but
also
highlighting
some
new
opportunities
that
the
business
plan
lays
out.
P
So
when
we
released
a
plan,
there
was
a
really
positive
statement
from
the
acting
director
of
the
federal
railroad
administration,
namit
bose,
the
transportation
secretary
was
on
television
talking
about
the
need
to
invest
in
rail,
and
this
country
has
been
settling
for
less
for
for
too
long
and
then
we've
sort
of
started
to
engage
on
some
of
our
immediate
priorities
with
the
new
administration.
So
focusing
on
just
restoring
the
federal
partnership
where
we've
had
effectively
radio
silence
and
lawsuits
with
the
previous
administration.
P
P
So
we
certainly
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that,
and
then
we
will
be
asking
for
some
delivery
scheduled
flexibility
in
terms
of
the
especially
the
construction
work
in
the
central
valley,
where
we
could
use
a
little
bit
more
time
to
do
things
a
little
bit
better
and
then
make
better
business
decisions.
If
we
don't
have
a
gun
to
our
head
on
a
federal
deadline
that
frankly
was
challenging
before
coveting
is
even
more
challenging
now
and
then
this
last
bullet.
P
Of
course,
you
know
we
we
see
kind
of
the
changes
in
the
administration
and
in
congress
and
a
lot
of
new
and,
in
increased
conversation,
around
potential
federal
investment
in
electrified,
high-speed
rail.
That's
a
conversation,
that's
still
mostly
in
front
of
us,
but
we
are
certainly
optimistic
that
that
seems
to
become
be
a
bigger
priority,
as
it
fits
very
well
with
the
buildback
better
agenda
that
the
biden
administration
had
touted
during
the
campaign
and
in
their
early
actions
in
office
next
slide.
P
P
That's
about
four
billion
dollars
that
we'll
need
in
order
to
complete
the
construction
work
in
the
central
valley,
get
the
line
electrified
and
into
into
service,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
just
in
this
part
of
that
process
we
have
to
there's
prop
1a
has
multiple
approval,
steps
and
actions
that
are
required
in
order
to
use
the
funds.
So
we've
started
that
process
with
the
board
approving
a
funding
plan
that
would
seek
that
appropriation
that'll
be
incorporated
into
the
governor's
budget
in
may.
P
P
So
there
is
going
to
be
lots
more
conversation
about
both
how
we
advance
the
program
and,
of
course,
input
from
policymakers
on
the
funding.
Ask
that
we
have
in
front
of
them-
and
I
think
that's
my
last
slide.
Oh
sorry,
one
more
just
ways
to
comment
on
the
business
plan:
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
every
one,
but
there
are
multiple
ways
that
we
are
taking
input.
Of
course.
Q
Great
thank
you.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
my
role
in
the
bart
silicon
valley
program
is
director
of
external
affairs,
so
working
very
closely
with
city
partners
and
all
of
our
stakeholders.
So
I'm
happy
to
present
an
update
and
a
little
bit
of
background
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
as
familiar
with
the
project
yet
so
the
bart
silicon
valley
program
is
a
program
of
which
we've
phased,
to
extend
the
regional
bart
rail
system
into
santa
clara
county
phase.
Q
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
berryessa
station.
I
know
many
of
you
aren't
out
and
about
as
much
as
you
might
be
so
just
wanted
to
show
some
visuals
of
the
berryessa
station
and
milpita
station
that
opened
up
in
june.
Both
of
the
stations
include
bus,
transit,
centers,
secure
bicycle
parking.
Q
We
have
parking
structures
with
paid
vehicle
parking
and
then
shuttle
drop
offs.
We've
been
tracking
ridership.
As
you
know,
none
of
us
expected
covid19
to
hit
right
around
the
time
of
this
opening,
but
we
do
have
a
small
but
steady,
ridership
and
hopefully,
as
everyone
sort
of
resumes,
a
more
form
of
normalcy.
Q
Q
Q
Our
first
station
is
the
28th
street
little
portugal
station
and
the
track
configuration
will
be
side
by
side
getting
into
that
28th
street
little
portugal
station.
It
is
a
cut
and
cover
station
that
we
will
be
building.
It
will
have
a
above
ground
presence
with
below
ground
boarding
and
we
own
a
significant
amount
of
property
or
we'll
be
acquiring
a
significant
amount
of
property
around
that
station
and
are
working
on
what
types
of
appropriate
transit
oriented
development
will
occur.
Q
We
have
done
transit,
oriented
community
strategy
studies
to
really
maximize
utilization
of
these
stations
and
really
contribute
towards
building
less
car
reliant
communities,
as
we
enter
into
that
small
box,
where
you
see
the
13th
street
mid-tunnel
facility
that
the
trains
still
continue
side
by
side
and
at
that
facility
they
transition
from
a
side-by-side
configuration
to
a
stacked
configuration
and
then
our
downtown
san
jose.
This
stack
configuration
allows
us
to
basically
do
that
downtown
station
development,
like
any
other
off
street
development.
Q
This
is
a
new
federal
funding
program
and
the
intent
of
this
program
is
to
really
streamline
the
process
to
seek
federal
funds,
and
there
were
some
very
specific
requirements
for
this
program,
and
vta
was
one
of
eight
projects.
The
bart
silicon
valley
project
to
express
interest
in
this
project
and
as
of
today
is
the
only
project
that's
currently
been
in
the
program.
Q
We
in
the
meantime
have
received
two
allocations
for
the
program
we
received
125
million
dollars
in
august
of
2019
and
then
an
additional
100
million
in
january.
So
a
total
of
225
million
has
been
allocated
through
the
epd
program
and
then
I'm
you
may
have
all
heard
some
of
the
news.
In
the
current
covered
relief
program,
we've
been
allocated
recommended
to
receive
approximately
141
million
dollars,
and
that
would
not
be
a
part
of
this
financing.
Our
full
request
is
about
1.7
billion
through
this
program.
Q
Q
Q
We
started
off
the
procurement
process
with
a
request
for
industry
feedback,
and
this
was
an
opportunity
to
share
with
the
contracting
community
what
our
strategy
was
for
this
project,
which
utilizes
a
large
single
board
tunnel
in
that
portion,
where
I
had
talked
about
the
tracks
being
side
by
side
and
and
then
transitioning
into
the
stack
configuration.
So
we
got
some
feedback
and
then
we
have
just
issued
our
first
request
for
qualifications.
Q
That
is
that
first
purple
bar
just
at
the
end
of
the
year,
that
was
for
the
tunnel
and
track
work
contract,
and
our
next
set
is
to
do
a
request
for
qualifications
for
our
stations
contract.
We'll
then
move
into
the
rfp
process,
as
you
can
see
beginning
later
in
this
year,
and
then
with
early
construction
work
slated
to
begin
sometime
in
2022
construction
will
be
approximately
six
years,
and
then
we
are
allowing
about
two
years
for
our
system,
testing
and
integration
with
service
plan
for
2030,
and
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Q
Thank
you.
These
are
our
contracting
plans.
Those
check
marks
for
for
each
of
the
four
contracts.
We
are
doing
four
large
contracts,
the
first
contract
you
call
it
cp1
is
our
systems
contract.
Those
are
all
the
communications
and
infrastructure
that
actually
the
system
operates
on
the
largest
and
main
contract
is
a
tunnel
and
track
work
contract
that's
being
delivered
through
progressive
design,
build
there's
many
advantage
to
this,
because
we
we
gain
the
experience
and
knowledge
of
the
progressive
design
builder
and
are
able
to
capitalize
on
some
of
the
newest
in
innovation.
Q
That
contract
includes
the
tunnel
and
track
work.
It
includes
those
mid-tunnel
facilities.
I
had
mentioned
those
vent
structures
at
13th,
street
and
stockton.
All
the
demolition
and
site
work.
Those
adidas
that
I
talked
about
that
connect
the
actual
tunnel
to
those
underground
stations
and
utility
relocations
is
required.
Q
Cp3,
as
we
call
it
is
the
new
hall
yard
in
santa
clara
station
that
contract
is
designed
build,
so
the
design
will
be
advanced
slightly
further.
That
facility
includes
the
yard
and
maintenance
line
and
track
the
actual
santa
clara
station,
as
well
as
a
parking
structure
garage
for
up
to
500
spaces
and
storage
for
all
those
tracks
where
the
trains
will
be
stored
at
night.
Q
Cp4
is
our
stations
contract,
and
it
includes
the
three
stations,
the
28th
street,
little
portugal's
downtown
and
duradon.
As
well
as
parking,
initially
1200,
that
could
be
incorporated
as
part
of
the
transit-oriented
development,
and
it
also
includes
the
streetscape
and
final
site
work
at
all
the
station
areas
and
next
slide.
Please,
we
have
created,
as
you
may
be
aware,
the
santa
clara
valley,
transportation
authority
vta
is
the
designer
got
secured.
The
funding
will
be
building
the
project
and
own
the
infrastructure,
but
bart
will
be
operating
the
system
ultimately.
Q
Please
part
of
our
application,
for
this
epd
program
was
that
we
would
have
a
public
private
public
private
partnership.
There
were
three
requirements
for
the
epd
pilot
program
and
those
were
to
have
a
public-private
partnership
that
there
would
be
a
25
cap
on
the
federal
funds
and
that
the
future
operator
would
be
an
existing
operator,
and
that
will
be
bart
rp3,
which
we
executed
in
october
is
with
google,
and
it
includes
air
right
entitlements
above
the
future
duradon
spark
station.
Q
It
also
includes
a
parking
replacement
for
current
parking
that
we
have
at
the
lot
that
we'll
use
for
a
construction
staging
and
then
also
it
allows
us
to
use
one
of
the
parking
lots
to
do
our
construction
staging
during
construction
next
slide.
Please,
a
very
important
element
is
our
construction
outreach
management
program,
and
there
are
three
components
to
that.
Q
There
is
the
construction,
education
and
outreach
plan,
we
call
the
ceop,
and
that
is
all
of
the
things
that
we
do
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
stakeholders,
whether
they're,
immediately
adjacent
to
the
project,
the
cities,
individuals
living
businesses
that
they
are
considered
and
that
we
understand
their
needs
as
we
proceed
in
construction
of
this
project,
the
construction
transportation
management
plan
is
coordinating
all
the
circulation
and
access
needs
during
construction
and
we'll
be
incorporating
all
this
information
into
the
contract
documents.
We've
been
out
seeking
information
and
we'll
be
vetting.
Q
The
other
third
part
is
the
emergency
services
coordination
plan,
and
that
is
where
we
ensure
that
all
the
local
emergency
services
have
access
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
respond
during
an
emergency
next
slide.
Please
we
are
implementing
a
business
resource
program
and,
as
such
we
have
just
completed
a
assessment
of
the
businesses.
Q
So
we've
completed
that
small
resource
study,
that's
the
fall,
2019
bar
right
there,
and
now
we
are
working
on
actually
starting
to
prepare
the
plan
that
we
will
implement
during
construction
to
ensure
that
small
businesses
have
the
resources,
whether
they
be
technical,
whether
they
be
advertising,
whether
they
be
signage.
So
taking
all
of
the
data
that
we've
gleaned
from
the
businesses.
That's
how
we'll
develop
that
plan
and
then
we'll
implement
that
plan
prior
to
construction,
and
I
believe,
that's.
O
O
R
Great,
thank
you
jessica
and
welcome.
Thank
you
for
having
me
committee
members,
I'm
going
to
round
out
the
trio
of
rail
projects.
My
project,
though,
is
much
smaller
than
the
other
two,
but
it's
no
less
important
and
it's
no
less
impactful
to
the
community,
both
in
in
good
ways
and
then
you'll
see
some
of
the
project
activities
that
are
coming
up,
that
we
need
to
make
sure
there's
good
coordination
for
so,
let's
start
with
just
a
quick
brief
overview
of
the
project.
R
This
is
an
extension
of
our
current
light
rail
system.
At
the
end
of
the
line,
now
at
alum
rock
we're
going
to
continue
light
rail
about
two
and
a
half
miles
to
eastridge,
we
will
be
using
the
median
for
most
of
the
way,
but
not
totally.
We
will
go
side
running.
Why
so
that
we
have
an
at
grade
station
platform
for
between
light
rail
and
the
new
transit
center
at
eastridge,
we'll
be
using
an
elevated,
guideway,
the
entire
corridor
and
the
next
slide.
R
R
This
is
very,
very
similar
cast
in
place
concrete
box
girder
that
we
are
proposing
along
capital.
Expressway,
the
alignment
along
capital,
expressway
will
be
completely
grade.
Separated
will
be
grade,
separated
at
all
the
intersections,
that's
capital
story,
ocala,
cunningham
and
tully.
The
reason
for
this
is
that
it
minimizes
traffic
impacts
with
permanent
left
turn
lane
closures,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
This
is
the
best
way
to
do
that.
It
allows
clean
operations
with
no
conflict
between
either
pedestrians
or
automobiles
and
light
rail.
R
So
it's
the
best
operational
and
it
is
the
most
convenient
way
to
integrate
light
rail
into
the
community.
However,
it
there
are
some
elements
about
it
that
deserve
some
discussion
and
we'll
talk
about
those
in
the
near
term
with
you
here
in
the
next
slides.
So
next
slide
to
help
understand
what
the
corridor
looks
like.
We've
prepared
a
series
of
photo
simulations
and
rendering.
R
So
if
we
are
started
at
the
end
of
the
line
at
alum
rock,
so
the
existing
end
of
the
line
is
to
the
right
of
this
photo
simulation
light
rail
will
rise
up
out
of
the
at
great
alignment
on
a
retained,
fill
in
order
to
transition
from
capitol
avenue
that
you
see
here
into
capital
expressway.
That
is
to
our
left.
R
Each
of
them
are
on
the
south
side.
So
when
you're
looking
at
this
alum
rock
is
to
our
left.
Eastridge
is
to
our
right,
so
both
of
the
over
crossings
are
on
the
south
side.
The
good
thing
about
this
over
crossing
is
it
will
allow
people
who
are
accessing
the
light
rail
platform
to
do
so
without
any
crossing
tracks
or
traffic.
It
also
will
allow
folks
that
want
to
avoid
the
expressway
and
not
go
to
light
rail.
R
R
This
slide
shows
the
same
location
in
with
photo
simulation.
So
this
is
both
of
these
photo
simulations
are
at
story.
They
show
the
elevated
guideway
with
the
pedestrian
over
crossings
to
your
right
on
the
top
slide.
The
bottom
slide
shows.
If
you
are
going
westbound
on
story
road,
you
will
be
going
underneath
the
platform.
So
if
you
were
to
orient
this
to
a
current
station
in
our
system,
you
can
think
of
great
mall
main
and
milpitas,
so
this
will
be
very
similar
to
that
configuration,
while
there's
only
one
pedestrian
over
crossing
at
that
location.
R
R
The
last
station
at
the
end
of
the
line
is
at
eastridge,
as
I
said
before,
we're
mainly
in
the
median
of
capitol
expressway
until
we
get
to
atoli
totally,
we
go
side
running
in
order
to
arrive
at
an
at
grade
end
of
the
line
station
at
eastridge.
This
station
at
eastridge
is
very
important.
It.
It
connects
light
rail
to
bus
transit
center
to
shopping
at
eastridge
and
and
pedestrian
improvements
along
the
expressway.
So
this
truly
is
a
hub.
R
This
slide
shows
what
the
location
looks
like
at
the
eastridge
station,
both
in
a
photo
simulation
and
in
a
rendering,
so
the
photo
simulation
on
the
top
shows
the
orientation
for
the
new
light
rail.
There
will
be
two
platforms
in
order
to
allow
light
rail
or
a
large
platform
that
would
allow
light
rail
with
multiple
tracks
to
go
through
the
the
staging
area,
the
pickup
area
for
pedestrians,
and
it
will
have
an
end
of
the
line
storage
track.
R
So
what
you
see
on
the
left
side
of
the
upper
photograph
is
storage
tracks
and
then
because
we
are
going
from
aerial
to
ad
grade
and
then
we
need
to
be
continue
to
add
grade
on
the
way
to
the
entrance
to
eastridge
mall.
There
is
slight
grade
difference
and
we're
arriving
to
that
slight
rage,
difference
with
stairways
and
an
ada
accessible
ramp.
So
we
wanted
to
show
how
the
transit
center
that's
on
the
left
of
that
bottom
photo
will
access
light
rail,
which
is
on
the
right
side,
next
slide,
please!
R
R
We
expect
to
have
a
bid
package
ready
to
begin
to
be
prepared
for
advertisement
early
this
year
we
are
continuing
right-of-way
acquisition.
We've
started
that
already
it's
mainly
done.
We've
acquired
most
of
the
properties.
Only
a
couple
properties
are
remaining,
so
we
expect
to
complete
that
this
summer,
utility
relocation
is
complete
with
engineering.
R
We
are
in
the
process
of
getting
those
lined
up
with
permits
to
begin
construction.
Most
of
this
is
along
the
expressway,
so
there
are
county
permits
and
we
will
see
utility
relocation
beginning
as
early
as
a
couple
months
from
now
and
all
the
way
to
beginning
into
next.
After
later,
in
the
summer,
when
I
say
beginning,
the
next
slide
will
show
the
variety
of
utility
relocations
and
what
I
mean
by
that.
If
we
stay
on
that
slide,
real
quick
jessica,
I'm
sorry.
R
We
wanted
to
highlight
two
things,
though
one
thing
is
that
the
project
is
mainly
measure
a
funding,
that's
all
appropriated
and
with
the
project.
However,
there
is
a
large
component
of
regional
measure,
three
funds,
130
million
dollars-
that
is
not
measure
a.
We
have
already
secured
the
sb1
funds,
there's
some
other
funding,
we've
already
secured
for
15
million
dollars.
The
one
item
that
is
yet
to
be
available
to
us
is
the
rm3
funds.
R
So,
while
the
engineering
package
is
complete
in
early
2021
and
while
we
will
have
construction
documents
ready
to
begin
preparing
the
advertising
package,
we
are
not
going
to
advertise
for
light
rail
construction
until
the
rm3
funds
are
available.
Currently,
the
rm3
funds
are
being
reviewed
by
the
california
supreme
court.
There
is
a
challenge
against
these
funds.
R
The
regional
major
three
funds
are
actually
a
bridge
toll
fee
and
there's
a
challenge
that
that
should
be
a
was
really
a
tax
and
not
a
fee.
So
the
california
supreme
court
is
ev
reviewing
that
or
it's
on
their
docket.
They
have
not
started
reviewing
it
yet
and
we're
not
sure
when
they
will
there's
another
case
that
they're
evaluating
first,
that
they
think
will
set
precedence
for
this.
R
So
because
it's
unclear
as
to
when
that
could
start
it
could
be
resolved
as
late
as
late
this
year,
and
so
because
of
that
we
are
posturing
ourselves
to
be
ready
to
advertise,
but
we
will
not
be
advertising
until
the
rm3
funds
are
available.
So
that's
the
one
thing
we
wanted
to
highlight
on
the
next
slide.
R
We
wanted
to
just
highlight
when
we
talk
about
the
utility
work
that
is
beginning
what
we
mean
by
that
so
today,
if
you
were
to
go
out
on
the
corridor,
you
will
see
construction
happening
right
now
at
story,
road
and
capital
expressway,
and
that
construction
is
abatement
for
a
building
that
we
acquired.
That
will
be,
we
will
be
removing
and
be.
R
We
are
preparing
for
some
utility
relocation,
so
we're
doing
that
utility
prep
work
right
now
as
of
today
and
so
we're
clearing
the
way
for
four
different
types
of
utility
relocation
they're
on
the
list
here,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight.
That
is
because
there
are
one
set
of
utility
relocation,
that's
really
substantial
and
it's
the
relocation
of
what
is
now
pg
e
high
voltage
transmission,
lattice
towers
to
poles,
and
so
that
work
there's
a
range
of
when
it
could
be.
R
It
will
be
beginning
as
early
as
april,
pending
a
property
acquisition
or
as
late
as
august
or
september
if
we
need
to
go
through
eminent
domain
proceedings.
So
I,
when
we
talk
about
the
range,
that's
the
reason
that
we're
talking
about
these
ranges.
You'll
also
see
some
significant
work.
We
will
see
a
large
water
line,
a
san
jose
water
line
to
be
relocated
down
the
median
of
the
expressway.
R
So
you
will
see
come
this
summer.
You'll
start
to
see
the
beginning
of
what
construction
will
look
like
for
light
rail.
It's
worth.
Knowing,
though,
that
that
utility
relocation
is
a
precursor
to
what
we
will
be
doing
for
the
larger
light
rail
construction.
So
because
of
that,
we've
made
a
lot
of
effort
to
make
sure
that
the
community
understands
what's
happening
and
not
just
what's
going
to
happen,
but
why
it's
happening
so
we
we
have
established
a
stakeholder
working
group.
R
So
they
know
what
area
we
need
for
the
for
the
construction
area
and
what's
available
for
traffic,
that
way
we're
bringing
them
along
in
an
exchange
of
dialogue.
So
they're
not
only
informed,
but
they
are
well
informed,
and
so
it's
worth
knowing
that
that
we
are,
we
are
conducting
those
regular
meetings
and
we
will
be
working
with
city
staff
to
present
any
feedback
from
from
that
group,
any
in
any
actions
that
come
from
that
next
slide.
R
So
this
is
something
that
we
presented
to
the
stakeholder
working
group
just
last
week,
and
so
what
the
the
the
scenario
here
is,
and
the
challenge
is
that,
when
we
originally
designed
the
contract
and
got
environmental
clearance
in
2018,
we
expected
to
take
about
150
trees
from
the
corridor,
and
that
was
just
along
the
whole
alignment
for
different
variety
of
reasons.
Widening
the
roadway
shifting
the
alignment
that
kind
of
thing.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
identified
that.
R
What
you
see
on
your
screen
here
is
that
the
relocation
from
the
lattice
towers,
from
the
median
to
to
poles
on
the
outside
of
the
roadway
on
the
east
side
of
the
roadway,
that's
relocating.
10
of
those
poles,
those
towers
to
poles
that
we
have
trees
underneath
them
in
the
current
condition,
so
the
rendering
on
the
right
those
trees
in
their
actual
real
trees.
They
are
installed
today
on
the
expressway.
R
Well,
those
trees
as
of
2018
after
we
did.
Our
environmental
clearance
are
no
longer
allowed
to
be
there
per
pg
e's
green
book
standards
so
resulting
from
the
fires
in
northern
california.
Pg
e
has
established
a
new
standard
that
does
not
allow
any
trees
within
the
easement
area.
Underneath
a
high
voltage
transmission
line,
therefore,
some
trees
will
need
to
be
removed
about
60
or
70
more
trees,
so
the
board
for
vta
will
be
entertaining
an
action
item
to
amend
our
environmental
document
to
include
the
removal
of
these
trees.
So
what
was
150
tree?
R
R
the
we
presented
this
at
one
of
our
committee
meetings
at
our
congestion
management
program
and
planning
committee.
One
of
the
members
of
that
committee
is
member.
Paralysis
was
on
this
committee
and
he
asked
us
to
follow
up
and
evaluate
if
we
could
make
a
very
tight
corridor,
in
other
words,
mitigate
them
in
an
area
close
to
this
corridor.
We've
sent
we've
since
met
with
our
city
forest,
and
we
believe
we
can
do
that.
R
We
believe
that
within
a
one
mile
swath
on
each
side
of
the
expressway,
we
can
replace
and
mitigate
all
of
the
trees
and
so
we'll
work
into
that
regard.
We're
also
evaluating
if
these
trees
can
be
planted
in
the
median
at
any
particular
places.
There's
not
a
lot
of
space
and
there's
some
challenge,
but
we're
going
to
evaluate
that
and
we're
also
going
to
reach
out
to
the
county
to
see
if
there's
any
possibility
to
include
some
of
the
trees
within
the
expressway
area.
R
If
the
city
is
willing,
we
would
also
enjoy
putting
them
in
any
street
areas
that
would
benefit
the
city.
One
of
the
earlier
items
talked
about
the
heat
from
the
pavement.
This
would
be
one
way
to
mitigate
some
of
that,
so
we're
hoping
that
we
will
be
able
to
use
this
mitigation
and
focus
in
this
area,
so
the
equity
things
that
we
talked
about
and
the
heat
challenge
things
we
talked
about
are
respected
with
this
project.
R
I
Yes
from
the
horseshoe,
that's
a
lot
of
information
to
process
I'll.
Try
to
one
of
the
gentlemen
stated
earlier
with
respect
to
the
rail
coming
from
from
from
down
south,
he
was
talking
about
endangered
species,
okay,
and
I
would
go
so
far
as
to
argue
that
the
chicano
and
the
mexicano
are
an
endangered
species
with
respect
to
covet
and
the
gentrification
process.
That
is
right
now,
naturally
occurring
within
the
context
of
san
jose.
I
I
would
go
so
far
as
to
argue
for
that
that
we
need
to
be
protected
as
well.
You
know-
and
so
you
know,
while
I
sympathize
with
birds-
and
I
sympathize
with
the
squirrel
in
the
red-tailed
hawk-
you
know
I
also
sympathize
with
my
people
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose.
You
know
so
I'd
like
to
make
that
straight.
I
The
reason
why
we
need
racial
equity
within
the
context
of
transportation
is
that
the
chicago
and
mexicanos
are
an
endangered
species
and
within
the
confines
of
the
redlined
marginalized
sections
of
the
city,
four
tracks,
you're
gonna
have
to
go
through
the
horseshoe.
Let's
be
honest
here,
four
tracks
are
going
through
the
horseshoe
you're
gonna
knock
down.
All
the
tracks,
because
dev
davis
made
sure
that
she
got
historical,
landmark
protections
for
all
of
the
houses
on
the
willow
glen
side.
I
On
the
horseshoe
side,
four
tracks
gotta
go
through
and
the
the
dare
down
station
the
brick
station.
That's
out,
that's
gotta,
go
it's
gotta
go.
You
can't
fit
four
tracks
there
with
that,
because
there's
gonna
be
400
trains
that
are
going
through
there.
My
my
my
research
is
sound.
It's
solid!
It
can't
be
challenged.
What
I
want
to
know
is
what
is
what's
going
to
be
done
about
it?
What
is
going
to
be
done
about
that?
Where's?
I
The
conversation
with
the
people
in
the
horseshoe
who
are
going
to
be
gentrified
out
of
that
area
via
imminent
domain?
You
guys
are
going
to
buy
up
all
those
properties
and
time
you
know
what
get
out.
Thank
you
for
working
in
the
canneries,
but
get
out
and
get
out
now.
You
know.
So
really.
We
need
to
really
sit
down
and
talk
about
this
and
you
know
have
a
conversation.
Some
feelings
are
going
to
get
hurt,
but
you
know
drink
some
water,
we'll
be
all
right.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
man.
The
only
thing
I
want
to
say
about
high
speed
race.
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
history.
My
great-grandfather
was
agree
was
the
chief
engineer
for
the
line
between
800
miles
between
beijing
and
wohan.
He
built
that
line
in
seven
years,
with
25
million
dollars
entirely
in
private
capital.
N
You
didn't
have
to
deal
with
coverage.
However,
you
had
to
deal
with
the
boxes.
You
ripped
150
miles
of
track.
After
killing,
10
000
railway
workers,
boris's
former
company
pastors
america,
half
were
supposed
to
build
the
other
half
of
the
line
that
never
happened.
The
chinese
ended
building
it
themselves.
N
A
subsidy
of
300
dollars
per
passengers
phase
2
is
now
at
6.9
billion
dollars.
It's
not
designed
the
reason
they're
doing
progressive
design
built
is
because
they're
going
to
get
environmental
clearance
after
some
of
the
elements
are
designed
is
also
not
funded.
We've
got
currently
got
a
three
billion
dollar
gap
consisting
of
two
billion
dollars
in
major
refunds.
N
One
billion
dollars
of
measure
b
funds
and
something
that
bernie
didn't
mention
that
mr
ramsay
did
is
that
the
375
million
dollars
in
our
entry
fund
are
not
there
either.
Moving
on
to
the
light
rail
extension,
the
costs
are
approximately
200
million
dollars
per
month,
but
that
is
only
20
percent
of
the
cost
of
that.
So,
if
you
think
logically,
and
we
place
the
existing
light
rails
with
strength
capable
of
doing
70
miles
an
hour,
we
could
potentially
have
the
system
just
as
good
as
about
approximate
20
of
the
cost.
Thank
you.
H
H
It's
also
important
to
emphasize
that
I
think
governor
newsom
is
making
clear
that
the
high-speed
rail
needs
to
be
on
time
and
needs
to
be
moving
and
so
they're
building
it
from
la
to
merced
to
stockton
to
sacramento,
and
I
hope
we
can
learn
to
be
clear
about
that.
The
next
question
is:
how
do
we
bring
that
to
san
jose
or
to
alameda
county?
H
H
So
we
are
in
a
wait
time
time
right
now
and
to
work
out
our
issues
with
alameda
county
now
to
work
with
the
mtc
is
incredibly
important
at
this
time,
and
and
also
there
can
just
be-
it
is
okay
for
san
jose
to
hang
back
a
bit.
They
have
a
certain
lead
in
how
to
work
with
this
issue
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
competitive
process
with
alameda
county.
H
C
J
I
I
heard
stories
from
my
brother.
He
he
grew
up
with
vta
from
capital
light
rail
station,
and
now
I
get
to
experience
growing
up
with
bart,
which
is
really
such
a
privilege,
and
I
am
really
excited
for
these
big
projects
to
to
come
ahead
of
us,
especially
the
extension
of
vta
and
on
the
high
speed
rail.
J
It
is.
It
is
an
expensive
project,
but
we're
going
to
be
like
the
first
ones
to
do
it,
a
speed,
rail
and
it
is
going
to
be
expensive.
But
it's
going
to
be
a
big
impact
here
in
the
bay
area,
especially-
and
I
just
hope
that
you
guys
will
fight
for
that
and
I'm
looking
forward
for
the
high
speed
rail
to
come
to
san
jose.
C
Thank
you
and
turning
to
the
committee,
I
hope
you
all
saw
my
email
reminder
that
we
were
doing
the
regional,
quarterly
activities
report
and
if
you
have
questions
for
the
committee
or
for
the
staff,
the
present
presenters
go
ahead
and
raise
your
hand
and
I'd
also
love.
If
you
have
a
an
update
from
one
of
the
committees,
you
sit
on
councilmember
perales.
S
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
the
reminder.
I
did
see
that
this
time.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
the
presentations
as
well
from
all
the
agencies
and
thank
you
to
vta
staff
for
mentioning
that
you
had
worked
reached
out
to
our
city
for
forest
to
work
out
the
replanting
of
the
additional
trees
that
have
been
lost.
I
do
appreciate
that.
S
I
also
through
the
congestion
management
committee,
have
brought
up
some
concerns
with
some
of
our
our
platforms
in
the
downtown
core.
That's
work
coming
through
cmpp
there
as
well
both
of
those
issues
just
as
as
of
late
so,
but
that
was
the
the
bta
side
of
things
I
do
want
to
just
mention
a
little
bit
about.
S
I
said
on
the
the
capitol
corridor
joint
powers
authority
as
well,
and
there
is
a
south
bay
connect
project
phase,
two
of
it
which
is
oakland
to
san
jose,
and
this
work
is
preparing
a
two-year
environmental
design.
That
is
gonna
begin
in
well,
it
begins
again
february
and
it's
it's
really
looking
at
creating
more
opportunities
for
connections
between
san
jose
and
sacramento.
S
C
C
I
sit
on
the
caltrain
joint
powers
board,
I'm
the
chair
this
year,
as
I
think
many
of
you
know-
and
I
just
there
are
a
couple
of
things
in
the
in
the
memo
already
about
about
caltrain
the
measure
rr
passed.
It's
a
1
8
sales
tax
that
goes
across
three
counties,
so
that's
san
francisco
san
mateo
and
santa
clara
counties,
and
that
will
enable
us
to
do
longer
term
capital
and
operations
planning
for
caltrain.
C
In
addition
to
ensuring
that
caltrain
will
continue
to
exist
this
year
with
ridership
being
down
over
90
percent.
So
from
covid,
and
also
the
electrification
project
is
continuing
and
we
have
been
experiencing
some
impacts
from
kovid,
because
we
had
some.
Some
work
is
being
done
by
by
people
in
europe,
and
so
there
were
travel
issues
and
then
also
one
of
the
one
of
the
plants
in
utah.
That's
putting
together.
C
The
train
sets
are
was
also
had
a
lot
of
had
some
issues
with
covid
cases,
and
they
also
had
to
because
of
distancing,
had
to
shift
to
basically
a
24-hour
operation,
as
opposed
to
a
regular
shift
operation.
So
there's
I
anticipate
there
will
be
an
updated
timeline
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
so
jessica.
Just
so
you
know,
the
the
one
in
the
memo
is
probably
not
gonna
gonna
be
able
to
be
true.
C
The
other
updates
is
that
jim
hartnett
is
the
director
of
not
only
caltrain
but
also
sam
trans,
and
then
the
san
mateo
county
transit
authority,
and
he
has
announced
his
retirement
for
april
of
this
year
and
sam
trans,
which
is
in
charge
of,
is
the
managing
agency
for
caltrain
named
the
ceo
michelle
bouchard
to
be
the
interim
director
of
caltrain.
Only
so
caltrain
for
the
first
time
will
have
its
own
head
of
agency.
C
C
B
C
I
Anyways
yeah
that
that's
fine,
so
we
really
need
to
do
that.
We
really
need
to
start
supporting
that
with
our
dollars.
You
see,
because
I
am
I
I'm
reading
through
my
father's
documents
and
he's
stating
that
let
me
see
older
cousin
freddie
having
to
dig
outhouse
holes
outside
in

si
puedes
he's
also
talking
about
his
fears
in
1943.
I
He
feared
the
shadows
on
the
army,
tents,
because
the
tents
that
they
lived
in
in
sas
were
army
tents,
and
my
one
of
my
father's
earliest
fears
was
the
shadows
that
were
cast
on
the
outside
of
the
tent.
While
he
was
living
in
sasi
puedes
in
this
city.
So
I
have
a
just
a
wealth
of
documentation
that
my
father
had
written,
who
is
still
alive,
he's
79
and,
and
it
just
we
really
needed
to
start
getting
used
to
these
kinds
of
conversations.
I
And
so
I
appreciate
what
you
stated:
councilman
carlos
with
respect
to
the
transportation.
But
I
think
the
overall
allocation
and
solvency
ensuring
the
solvency
of
the
racial
equity
office
is
vitally
and
critically
important,
not
only
to
the
offices
and
to
the
city
of
san
jose,
but
also
to
ourselves.
Because
it
reflects.
N
N
That
memo
is
not
on
the
website,
so
I'll
be
issuing
a
pra
immediately
to
realize
what
the
contents
of
that
memoir.
I
suspect
that
you
directed
staff
to
basically
dump
those
three
items
together
and
then
take
two
minutes
of
public
comment
at
the
end
of
the
day.
If
that
is
the
case,
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention.
I
already
did
it
at
the
last
catherine
ball
meeting.
N
This
is
no
longer
acceptable.
We
are
going
to
start
taking
attention.
I
mean
action
to
remedy
the
matter
and
if
it
is,
what
it
takes
is
to
have
a
commercial
that
starts
with
the
sound
of
broken
glass
every
time
people
who
live
in
san
jose
click
on
youtube,
video,
that's
exactly
what's
going
to
happen,
except
that
this
time,
instead
of
basically
crucifying
a
potentially
council
member,
we
will
be
looking
at
a
potential
recall.
Thank
you.
H
Blair,
all
right,
thank
you
to
try
to
once
again
summarize
my
ideas
and
feelings
from
the
special
city
council
made
on
kovid19
last
week,
as
I
stated
last
week.
Maybe
there
is
a
way
to
have
an
important
public
study
sessions
around
items
of
equity
in
the
future,
simply
not
under
the
cobit
19
title,
and
it
seems
there
is
a
balance.
H
For
part
two,
I
had
a
few
questions.
I
had
a
few
things
remaining
from
that
that
I
wanted
to
ask
about
from
that
meeting.
Can
it
begin
to
be
more
openly
talked
about
if
new,
more
portable
hvac
systems
to
be
placed
in
public
schools
at
this
time
will
have
an
air
aerosol
vaccine
capability
from
this?
I
also
feel
there
should
be
a
non-pressured
system
for
kids
to
attend
school
2.5
hours
a
day
twice
a
week
with
continued
in-home
learning.
H
C
Thank
you
and
for
the
record,
the
email
was
just
a
reminder
to
my
to
my
committee
members
that
they
are
welcome
to
do
a
verbal
report
during
this
time.
When
we
talk
about
quarterly
transportation
activities.
The
memo
that
I
was
referring
to
is
on
the
website.
I
just
confirmed
that
it
is
under
item
d3,
regional
transportation
activities,
quarterly
report.
It
has
a
memorandum,
the
memorandum's
author
is
john
risto
and
it
contains
the
regional
quarterly
transportation
activities,
not
just
that
were
reported,
but
it
includes
other
regional
transportation
bodies
and
projects.
