At the October 7, 2008 meeting of the Plans and Programs Committee, Commissioner Chris Daly requested that we initiate a Strategic Analysis Report (SAR) on the issue of auto restrictions on Market Street.  At its February 24, 2009 meeting, the Authority Board approved the scope of work for the SAR through Resolution 09-37. As called for in the Authority's procedures governing the development of SARs, the draft SAR is normally brought to the committee on which the requestor sits for comments and guidance. In this case, given the interest of Board members, we are bringing the draft SAR directly to the full Board. This is an information item.
