kind of assembled a tool kit of skills that really enabled him to become a community leader in portland. >> so fascinating. it occurs to me you are a social historian and these marvelous books are only written because people leave material behind, for people such as ava and yourself and william told to read together. as a social historian what are somethings that people that come after you should be thinking about now to save for the future? >> everything. it is amazing -- i mean people always think of the papers of the famous person or important community leader, sermons of the prominent rabbi and of course those are important but in working on the book we use programs, from individual synagogue events, to get a sense of what was important to that synagogue when they celebrated their 25th anniversary in 1922 or something what was important to them who were the speakers, the mayor came to speak that is interesting for us to know. that tells us something about that community. >> or papers of more ordinary immigrants who came and founded a small store maybe the ones who weren't so success

portland was doing some of this. but we don't like being second place to portland. so, eat your heart out, portland. we took a little bit from bloomberg in new york and that was the idea of payment to park land but we don't like to be second place, we are now doing more on that and we took the ideas from chicago. and i will say if there is any father or mother of these ideas it is mayor daley in chicago who is on these things years and years ago. i went out there when i first became mayor, got so jealous going down michigan avenue i said we have to do something so we stole their greening director and brought her out here and tasked here with putting these plans together and i want to specifically acknowledge astrid and her hard work and collaborative effort with all of you as well. i'm excited about this. i'm proud of this. this is a special day for me. thank you for all the hard works. this crease jobs, increases -- this creates jobs, increases values of property and increases the likelihood that people will come down and stay longer. it creates a sense of identity

so, in terms of climate change impacts portland is most concerned about. here are five according to me and my staff. i'm sure there's more and thinking on this i tried focus on things we're dealing with now. as i mentioned the higher summertime demand because of higher temperatures. this would be by growth alone and that's a significant issue. the other side of the coin with that is having less supply during the summer and if we're in a situation where we have a longer drought period we like seattle have annual refills with reservoirs and a summer draw down where we're serving from our reservoirs if that presents challenges for us. increase in wild fires. it's a huge concern for us and i'm sure for like san francisco we're an unfiltered drinking source and our watershed is in the mountains where there's lots of reck rauks and eventhough it's protected and there's no entry allowed our watershed we're are neighbors of an intensely utilized effort. water rights issue is only issues with our ground source but we do share that series of,aquafo r's and we have t

we will be doing along the lines of what portland -- i love portland, but i hate that they are ahead of us on this. by the way, anyone in a sustained rain, we're always second in the country in terms of our environmental network because of the bike network. portland is finished. with all respect to the mayor, you are going down. this is the last piece of the puzzle that was missing. now, we are able to unveil this, and you ain't seen nothing. >> thank you, mayor newsom. we have a host of folks that were part of the effort to get us to where we are today. i see our director of sustainable streets is here. bridget smith, who heads up our sustainable streets effort, and she is doing a fine job. she has a great team of people working with her. another individual i need to bring up to speak to you today is our chairman of the mta, chairman tom nolan.

good, that's in portland, in case you thought it was paradise. and that's the before, and i will show the after. but the philosophy of safety that i want to talk about, it takes us to some unconventional thinkers. and now you should be looking at david sitting in the middle of a roadway, and he's an australian thinking that promoted the idea of uncertainty and intrigue in the right-of-way. and i want to mention hans who decide from the netherlands and had this idea to take away from the signs and proliferation of the signs and devices. and take those away and in some settings, you can do that and increase the safety for everyone. and being about that whole idea of what safety means. and then i think david said that safety is maximized when perceived risk is equal to or higher than actual risk. he's got a formula and then i have a slide, when you see something unexpected. it does make you kind of stop and reassess what is going on and so you know my bias and i am the kind of mom and they sat in a chair unrestrained on to which a car and they grew

and this is 122 avenue in portland, and after we applied the measures, now you see the after. and there was a high demand for crossing at that location, and no signalized crosswalk for a mile on one side. and it's been a successful place and there haven't been any incidents here since we put it in. and one final design suggestion to show you, and i have to show this everywhere i go, and this was my daughter's idea at 8 years old and her idea, when the signal turns to walk, bars come down. and that would be the ultimate and predictable and safe, just the thought of how we might reorganize the space. and one more time, show the four "s" formula. slow the traffic, shorten the crossing and let the pedestrian be seen and slash the number of directions, and that's all i have now, thanks. [applause] >> thank you ellen, as you can all tell, we have a wealth of knowledge on stage and now is your time to ask questions of our panelists. >> i would like to know, what degree of cross discipline fertilization to take place between the planning department and public works department and rede
