he proposed that we have a park in the south end of the city. the campaign slogan was, people need this open space. one of the things that had to open is there were a lot of people who did a homestead here, about 25 different families. their property had to be bought up. so it took from 1928 to 1957 to buy up all the parcels of land that ended up in this 317 acres. the park, as a general rule, is heavily used in the mornings and the evenings. one of the favorite places is up by the upper reservoir because dogs get to go swim. it's extremely popular. many fights in the city, as you know, about dogs in parks. we have 317 acres and god knows there's plenty of room for both of us. man and his best friend. early in the morning people before they go to work will walk their dogs or go on a jog themselves with their dogs. joggers love the park, there's 7 miles of hiking trails and there's off trail paths that hikers can take. all the recreational areas are heavily used on weekends. we have the group picnic area which should accommodate 200 people, tenni

currently, about a 12.5-acre parking lot just south of the bay bridge. we have some real structural problems. in early 2000, leading up to 2006, the court first negotiated and then into a lease to develop a mixed use cruise terminal on the site. it would have been a two-berth cruise terminal, authorized by state law, including some office space retail uses and parking uses to fund the cruise terminal improvement. after we had a fully entitled project, all the way through the major permit that i discussed before and approved by the board, our development partner took a closer look underneath the piers and found that they were in a really poor condition and that the early estimates of the substructure costs were far too low and that it was not a commercially feasible deal, that they would not be able to get their investment out, so they essentially walked away from a fully entitled project. supervisor mirkarimi: when was that? >> that was in 2006. at the time, because it was fully entitled, staff tried to shop that project to local development interests to

this would save one parking space for the general neighborhood. we have also look at the possibility of doing the extension and there was considerable debate on which way to go. the final consensus is eyehole -- is from everyone. no one would need to step off of the curd to get on the streetcar. there was some concern about the remaining street. is it possible to accommodate two passing buses during our services? we looked at that pretty closely. on the inbound direction, and you still have to pay 10 flit change and on the north side, it is 19 feet and 6 inches which allows for parking. the chances of the two passing buses creates small and the north side is what enough to allow them some flexibility in maneuvering and positioning themselves with in the westbound direction. this is our final proposal. i have mentioned it already. the next step is that we are before you on the board and want to review the screen so that we can go to bid on the project and we look forward to the construction starting in said uri of 2012. as i mentioned, there is som
