4 <br />Something I am also very excited about are the renovations and upgrades we are making to our <br />facilities and public spaces. Plans include an expansion of the Police Building and a new branch <br />library near the shoreline project, which you’ll soon hear about from my colleagues in a video. <br /> <br />This past summer, we began construction on nearly $14 million of street rehabilitation work, the <br />largest investment in decades. Ongoing projects will redo over 40 lane miles of our roads, all <br />thanks to our voters for supporting Measure BB and upholding SB1. <br /> <br />Because time and time again, the public has made it clear that road repair should be one of the <br />city’s top priorities. We have responded by investing an additional $2 million in new paving <br />equipment that will allow us to work faster and with more efficiency, performing these smaller <br />jobs in-house. <br /> <br />In the next few months, we expect to break ground on the reconstruction of Farrelly pool, and <br />shortly afterwards, at the pool at the boys and girls club. We also have funding in place for a <br />new competitive pool at Washington-Manor Park. If you’d like to learn more, please note the <br />information about an upcoming meeting on the screen. <br /> <br />You may have also noticed many of our existing playgrounds and open spaces are receiving <br />new play equipment and upgrades. <br /> <br />We are also working on maintenance and upgrades to our storm drains and wastewater <br />systems. Although these aren’t glamourous projects, they are incredibly important for public <br />health and safety. We are using the latest technology to inspect our pipes, including high <br />resolution cameras to be as efficient as possible. <br /> <br />All of these projects represent nearly $80 million in new investment over the next few years. <br />Long term, this work will ensure the condition of our infrastructure is kept in great shape and <br />sustainable for future generations. <br /> <br />Now, let’s now watch our city council in action! <br /> <br />[Break: Play Video Here] <br />I just love that video. Our city really does shine. And seeing that section on the Police Building <br />makes me happy to know that our first responders will soon have a wonderful new facility that <br />will provide them the space and technology needed in their work. We as a community are <br />fortunate to have such dedicated law enforcement personnel working hard every day to keep us <br />safe. <br /> <br />Housing Sustainability <br /> <br />Here in the Bay Area, we are blessed with a thriving economy, quality jobs, world class <br />universities, and an amazing climate.
