Good afternoon david pilpal give me i was going to commit general Public Comment but the twin tunnel that was Public Outreach i made requests for information at this time im still waiting to hear back from staffer the capitalized construction starch David Greenway and others my understanding was the twin peaks intentionally project discount precedes through construction until the sunset tunnel was done and i asked at a recent braid meeting the Quarterly Construction report you used to get you didnt get a response im wondering and requesting that report e. R. Some update on Capital Projects particularly those that impact the Transit Service from the twin peaks tunnel were r work is going to starts at the end of this month i dont believe there is any outreach to the public to inform them of the schedule the impacts the bus institutions plan etc. Im interested in that and request whatever information guests to that end and with doyle drive.

Weaver is not here in report and item 9 Public Comment consent calendar be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. There will be no separate discussion of these items well start with Herbert Wiener and david youve said everything david followed by jim. Herbert wiener only one minute oh thank you okay Herbert Wiener now, did you tell the disabled when they were celebrating the ada that the mta expects them to walk a quarter of a mile to bus walking is good for you i wonder in the church didnt say that to the moormz before their dedicate mark the other response the paratransit will be a substitute for walking a Long Distance but the present arrangement is imperfect good people take the bus to where we want to go if you have to call a day in advance to arrange for paratransit to go a quarter of a mile youll have to call several timesal month by taking the bus before this is wasteful and not everyone will qualify for paratransit this has to be addressed and this is not sufficiently addressed the medical professionals have in the been addressed and this is catastrophic relatives and i wonder if this is for a latitude under 5id all i have to say it people walking a quarter of a mile is muni backwards. Jim and the last people turned in a speaking under Public Comment. Good afternoon. Directors thank you i need to have someone rep taxi drivers but first of all i want to thank the tuesday for the waiving of several fees that were waived recently it is need but were in dire stratsz im coming to ask for anything else to be waved but the one thing im asking you is things continue to be difficult for the taxi industry the industries tree. Drivers income is down thirty or 40 percent and the biggest problem is that youre aware of the tmcs on the street my reason to come before you im not disappointed in our perp but in the city in general theyve not step forward that is our city and weve got tax regulations for a lot of reasons how many taxis some the streets 9 hundred taxis and the drivers have to be vetted and go through those things and the states regulating that we dont video power that theyre coming to our city with 10 or 20 thousand vehicles here in the streets without sufficient insurance and causing pollution ton thursday or friday nights and all i here r hear it the puc and the state when are were going to stand up and fight say hey regulations are regulations and this is our city were concerned about what was happening ive not heard it thank you for being reactive but proactive is good thank you seeing none. The commission. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests we received a request from the public for safe of 10. 6 and 3 unless the members of the board wish to have an item sound proof. Most to approve. All in favor, say i. I. 10. 3. Various parking garage modifications public speaker david pilpal. Good afternoon i want to express opposition to this proposal that a a xhelgd intersection 3 removals 23 Parking Spaces it is a lack of parking in this area thanks. Members of the board. Motion to approve. Second. There is a motion and a second any further discussion all in favor, say i. I. Emphasizing. 10. 6 authorizing the director to authorize the contract for the unity plaza in the amount of of 2. 48 million for 2 hundred plus calendar day any request from the member of the public. David pilpal i have a question im not familiar with the opportunity plaza and not sure where the location i wasnt getting the ball park calendar can someone explain where this location is i dont want this to be a sunset issue. The plaza is immediately east of the new Housing Development on ocean avenue that is west of the used to be sale on loop so when with we redesigned the bus turn around the terminal the 49 we basically slung our footprint for the Housing Department for the Mayors Office of housing and space between the new Housing Development and the new bus terminal that through a fairly Expensive Community process working with the Mayors Office of housing culminated in the design for this plaza and it was part of the Overall Exchange of land and reconfiguration of that space. I speciality the extended explanation in the future when you have a project that isnt of commonly known location if you could for example include ocean avenue that would have been descriptive. Motion studio approve. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . Ms. Bloomer. All right. Moving on to the regular calendar item 11 various parking modifications on the 19 avenue transit cord i will not read all through laughter . Unless you all vote. So we have a staff presentation. Yep. Good afternoon mr. Kennedy. Good work directors so im Shawn Kennedy the muni mta Program Manager and excited to be talking about 19 avenue i think this project highlights really the interaction between vision zero and muni elements and created a visual for 19 avenue and highlights some of the cooperation highlights with not only other city agencies but the state agency 19th avenue is owned by the state so real quickly moving forward for the members of the public that might not knows muni forward is the name of the program that sfmta is undertaking to advance the to major transportation goals of the city both for Public Safety and improving the muni reliability on the transit corridors so their funded o those two why a project on 19 avenue 3 conditions that we noted and want to address first Pedestrian Safety this segment of 19 avenue went to you Lincoln South of the Golden Gate Bridge and 4 hundred collisions on that 3 mile 53 were pedestrian collisions and out of 54 there were 6 fatalities so 6 pedestrians in 5 years along the 3 mile corridors obviously that a high injury corridor so Pedestrian Safety is one of our top thank you for having me wellness we wanted to address and second the transit reliability im sure youre aware of as i mentioned this is a state road heavy volume 70 thousand cars a day traffic up and down that street 3 lanes in each direction a lane can take a thousand cars in the peak directions that means out of town basically in the p. M. There are 3 thousand cars going down 19 avenue at the capacity of the road and that results in congested conditions of rolling slows down and unite not notice the slows down stuck in the slows down and that over the course effects the transit reliability in addition to that congested delay the transit vehicles currently under the 28 r make a lot of stops the 28 local stewardships r stops 22 times in each direction about this dlokz it is essentially stopping 24 times and stopping a lot for the stops as well the second congestion has reliability issues around the 850s on the on time performance that is well below the system average it is 8 to 10 percent below the system on time average and, of course, the buses the 28 operates all throughout the day and the 28 right direction operates at two periods in the morning from 7 to 9 and in the afternoon from two to four basically a school trip bus makes 7 stops along the segment and 28 right direction are accredited with the told her of even during the we understand very, very crowded buses going going up and down 28 avenue so after we developed our original proposal that were addressing those 3 issues with the Environmental Review in march of 2014 we started a number of outreach
