Transportation Authority staff will provide information about the potential to utilize demand management strategies to reduce congestion and improve transportation options in downtown San Francisco.

10. Update on Fissures Found on Steel Girders at the Transbay Transit Center – INFORMATION*  presentation

On September 25, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority discovered a fissure on a 60 foot by 8-foot steel girder that spans Fremont Street. Upon further examination, a second smaller fissure was discovered on a similar parallel girder at the Fremont Street site. Out of an abundance of caution, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) closed the Transit Center and Fremont Street, and proceeded to shore both girders. The shoring has since been installed at both Fremont and First Streets (the latter out of caution) and Fremont Street was re-opened for use on October 15. The Temporary Terminal is being used for bus operations during this time. At the request of Mayors Breed and Schaff, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission is leading a peer panel, composed of metallurgists, welding experts and structural engineer to advise on testing to be performed and recommend a fix. The peer panel will also review building designs and help evaluate the full building condition, once more is known about the cause of the cracked beams. At the October 23 Board meeting, the TJPA staff will provide an update of these efforts and expected next steps.

11. [Final Approval on First Appearance] Authorize the Executive Director to Suspend All Further Financial Assistance to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) Provided through the Proposition K (Prop K) Standard Grant Agreement with the TJPA for Downtown Extension - 30% Design Part 1 (Project NO. 105-914033) Under Section 2, Article VII A.  – ACTION* resolution
