Closely spade stops between turning vehicles as well and a bicyclist high injury corridor identified as a provided for the muni forward process and the bike strategy there are a lot of needs Pedestrian Safety and transit improvements and Bicycle Safety are issues weve been working with sfmta to identify how to address those issues moderating and one of our top recommendations to move forward as quickly as possible with intersections of clay a recent fatality that occurred there fortunately we are that working to identify improvements that would, implemented shown on the screen very short time treatments we also have identified that this corridor as i mentioned the very significant issue with Pedestrian Safety really needs a corridor length treatment not just intersection spot treatments that address the safeties along the entire corridor with the transit and Bicycle Safety so we need a corridor solution one that can be implemented quickly again weve worked with mta and the community and mta has identified a project manager that we have questions from him theyll be coming in september for an in tip request for funds to study this corridor and recommend improvements so theyll be able to share the details but plan to move ahead with this and we have identified 3 concepts we feel should be looked at as potential corridor to address Pedestrian Safety and other issues one option a series of pedestrian scrambles along the corridor or a road diet and introduce striping that might include the removal of double turn lanes and changing the timing to reduce speeds and implementing sgrarlz up and down the corridors any solution could potentially solve the problem but want to emphasize any Solutions Addressing the speed that is problematic for the fag i will Elderly Population and address the conflicts of the turning vehicles thats a major contributor to the peaceful problem we look forward to working with mta im pleased were able to move forward to the recommendations with mta leads in the next step thank you all and look forward to our comments. Thank you very much for your presentation. Supervisor christensen. I have a couple of questions im assuming you looked at the causes were concerned you recommended the focus on the death so the presentation didnt include the leading usas causes of injuries. Uhhuh and so ones i mentioned the conflict. Proportionly. Im aware of the maneuver ability issues and not so much the speed to what degree is speed. It is a major factor the study they you know ranked issues and speeding come out of the top issue and we confirmed that with the speed surveys of it it the sample was 32 mileperhour that might not seemed to me that fast to a driver but an elderly pedestrian between 35 and 32 is numerous it doesnt need to be like 10 miles per hour. The question the degree to which we associate those finding with the injuries on the corridor. Yes. We can. Yes. I think come on i havent seen that level of detail. I object to provide that. In terms of a road diets the next streets going west are grant avenue and stockton street ill saying saw i say in the context of road diets those streets are starving if you clamp down how traffic what is the impact on adjacent streets. We havent gone favorite than this phase we need to look at that issue. Because certainly something needs to be done thats clear and everybody is trying to figure out that i dont know if you or your colleague can answer we have the guests central subway coming oly havent seen preparation for the increase in foot traffic weve got east west like clay and washington that are going to connect with the chinatown with the financial district for example to what grey degree did preparation for that change. We didnt look at that as part of the study fiscal year on the Pedestrian Safety the exist Pedestrian Safety issues i mean, ill is that any steps we can make to improve Pedestrian Safety on the have the is important it makes those changes critical i know theres an interest in do the sidewalks have capacity on franklin and clay thats a significant issue needs to be looked at we didnt look at that as part of this work. Thank you so i dont know if it is appropriate at this time but as you mentioned were looking at both narrowing the scope of study in relations to a project gnarling or narrowly it to the kerney square where a lot of injuries occur and the anticipated growth it expected and broadening it to include the subway and portsmouth square weve got to garage queuing for the square and the entrance to the square again i dont know if the study went deeply into how to address it i dont know if it is appropriated to have the colleague comment on that is that possible. You want it . Thank you very much uhhuh. Welcome. Hello greg with the San FranciscoTransportation Authority plans Programs Committee i took my assignment and kerney street figured out go vision 2025 corridor and the muni corridor this is a bike strategy corridor and thats all the information ive been working on this and the recent developments ive been working closely with ryan and the launch of the kerney corridor and the transit safety it is a catchy name that will be launching this fall and immediately is the curry where the fatality we knew before that that was the most disastrous intersection so many we have ideas id like to share with you guys at the appropriate time i dont have the details but again a lot of interest in the community to do something extremely immediately if we want to focus on this and focus on the corridor as quickly as possible so thats the larger project. So were talking basically about washington clay curry within a couple of blocks of the location the garage and entrance all of that tabled web and maybe preliminary to ask if you have some schedule some rough target of when we might be getting recommendations and. For the immediate intersection. Id like say both. Im approach it with immediate curry and washington immediacy hope to have ideas out there one the next couple of weeks and implemented by the mta for the signal shopping shop within a month or two my first implementing project im learning how the implementation goes but it is a huge priority hoping i can do it quickly and then yeah immediately after that will be the kickoff of the involved community process, etc. Along curry street and we were delighted to have you on board and glad youll help us untable this. Colleagues questions or comments all right. I also want to thank ta no matter which district we represent visitors they go to chinatown were looking forward to the improvements all right. So at this time ill open up for Public Comment for. Is there anyone from the public that wishes to speak on item 8 . If you can please line up along this wall over here that would be great. Supervisor tang and commissioners as a member of the cac we were just slowly slightly briefed on this item a couple of months ago this sort of thing i know that supervisor christensen you wanted this moved forward because of the servicing but the gentleman that is from our district he had a lot of questions on the item this was with me i was wondering if theres a way you when we have our next cac meeting will we have a full report . It is this going to be going to go through without the cac knowing about it. We have our executive director tilly chang. Well be presenting this and cac meeting no september this is unusual but for reasons of the expectancy we wanted to bring it forward. Go for it like i said this is something we barely had a chance to go through the servicing but if you feel it is important then go for it as long as we can get an update and get the fill funding comes before us again in september when we have our meeting in august when we have our meeting and we can we have a recess next month and this item can go forward thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Morning, commissioners name may a chinatown residents today i want to address the concern the clay intersection that intersection it is important i live at the corner every single day i see many people crossing the intersection going home or park or school there also many hundreds of Senior Citizens seniors that walk slower to cross the street the streets are a caging challenge for people to cross so crosswalks is not visible to geary when the cars sometimes theyll block the crosswalks if you put youre in the seniors shoes the seniors walk slower theyll left in the street the cars with turning and they will have a higher chance of getting injured i want the mta or commissioners to truly effective engineering to change and make a phase for pedestrians to cross without worrying about be injured thank you. Thank you very much next and from chinatown cd d weve been working closely with the folks on this plan thank you to everyone at the ta for the efforts on focusing on broadway and curry id like to make comments on the prelims of this plan we would really like to see a finish we heard about a fatality it was really tragedy but not surprisingly to us the intersection at clay and curry our offices are located there we see the clchlts between the pedestrians and motorists we see the city metrics for the improvements needed for that intersection for the good folks at the sfmta if we could, of course, quickly evaluate this plan and plan for changes to the corridor but with an emphasis on clay and kerney that would be great and very importantly much needed for the supervisor we appreciate our continued focus on kerry street with the immediate focus on clay and kerney so we look forward to some immediate changes and we would like to thank everyone for their efforts. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good morning. Im listing i cant a youth in chinatown cac so in if i pass by everyday i sometimes look around and see seniors i work with pass by kearny street it worries about me theyre having trouble crossing the streets last sometime any sister participated in actually studying the corridor of kearny street to tally the violations and i was a bit surprised how much was collected i pass by this place everyday there are violations but seeing how it supposedly me i read the packet i saw one of the solutions would be the scramble system is separates traffic and pedestrians and also theres a lot of system in the street we know how the scramble system works there are no changes that are perfect but again, we need immediate action we want to save lives and hopefully what we can make changes before another life is taken thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good morning sxhigsz e commissions im andrew a resident of chinatown district 3 ive 0 crossed the kearny and clay intersections hundreds of time in my life for work or downtown or meeting with other youths across the intersection to the point often after often when i cross the east bay to clay curry a car will grace my back one second before the green light and sometimes when i walk on the Southern Side of the eastbound lanes i would find myself stuck in the middle because a car needed to cross we as residents knew it was dangerous data railroads the calibers it is tragedy a fatality where a that he had rightofway was violated at it sgrshgs last month im asking for is an Engineering Solution for the pedestrians not cars should have a head start thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Im david part of the chinatown cd C Youth Group over the incident that happened on curry we at the time set out with captain larry lazzaro original we were studying the left turn from clay to kearny thats where the incident happened most of violations happen when cars are making a right turn the two main reasons the reason that people the drivers radio not yielding to pedestrians and second they turn off lane instead of in the turn pocket they turn in the second lane and even like cars wouldnt even yield for people like captain lazzaro; right . Theres a big pedestrian issue in appear Pedestrian Safety and separating cars from pedestrians i think the skranl system is the way to go thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. Im maggie im a youth leader if chinatown cd c one of my top concerns for pedestrians and drivers in chinatown is, of course the intersection of clay and kearny i saw one of the proposed ideas was to make a make it illegal to turn left from clay to kearny on a red light i was thinking maybe make that turn a protected left turn to separate the pedestrians from the drivers because even at a green light the drivers still have to deal with pedestrians so if it was a protected left turn there is also two turning lanes it could give the drivers some more space. All right. Thank you very much next speaker. Hi, im stephen from chinatown cd c around kerry street is occupied by seniors and those seniors will utilize the kroouks crosswalks to get to the park where they entertain themselves ive seen in those are like dangerous left turns and a scandal system will help as well as the seniors to cross safely and on time thank you for your time. Thank you next speaker. Next speaker, please. Hello, im sandy consider chinatown as my second home im from the bayview neighborhood Martin Luther king said treat to justice is a threat everywhere it is facing pedestrian injustice not long ago there was a fatality collision on happened on kearny and clay and in this collision kearny street has the worst Pedestrian Safety record of any street in chinatown every time when i come out to chinatown i see that the problem is happening the cars the speed to kearny street may kearny is a place for them to dry through but for us it is our home maybe when you drive so fast you dont realize there is the integral hotel which houses a lot of low income seniors and the Elementary School is located on kearny street and occupancies if you were to slow down when you drive you would see that kearny street is not just a place to speed through a community of people pedestrians deserve to feel safe when they cross the street why did kearny street have the problem of cars speeding through why are pedestrians in kearny street getting hurt . In here today id like to ask the engineers to get cars to slow down for chinatown we demand judged for Pedestrian Safety thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hello my name is stephanie im a youth leader at Chinatown CommunityDevelopment Center i usually see seniors cross by kearny and clay street they usually go to the accredit to volunteer and when they get through that food pantry the food are heavy and very hard for them to walk on kearny and clay street because cars goes by kearny street usually turn at a really fast pace and it is hard for seniors who get food from food pantry to walk at a really fast pace on the street so i believe that the street on kearny street should be converted from a dual turn to a single left turn thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Morning my name is nicole the executive director of walk sf and want to thank all the youth that come out and the cd c and kearny and clay and especially ryan that has been leading this project we at walk sf have been involved that supporting cd c and ta in moved 24 project forward for the last year and a half id like this youth working on this project to raise their hand raise your hand. Weve been working on this over a year and it took a death took blood on the ground for us to prioritize that is in the acceptable we need mta to move a project forward quickly we need a scramble in the ground dont need to study the skranl we need mta to get this in the ground before kids and seniors start crossing that street even though their crossing at high rates everyday the inaction is unacceptable i at walk sf asking mta to move on this one intersection for the last year and a half not seeing any movement we need to not just talk about those problems and wait for someone to die on the street think about your grandmother or grandfather it is not acceptable the skremg scramble need to get into the ground and stop making accuses is there any additional Public Comment on item 8 seeing none, Public Comment is closed supervisor yee. Thank you i just want to thank the folks for coming out especially nicole i grew up around that 2, 3, 4 district 3 and does a lot of my adult work in district 3 im familiar with what people are talking about absolutely clay and kearny street and washington should be a priority to look at i fully port the use of system advantages in those intersections it may slow down a little bit maybe we need to slow things down when i look at i go down there all the time and the only solution is really to have those scramble intersections in the other intersections there are other intersections on kearny that probably is waiting for something serious to happen and that includes bush and kearny it is same issue two lanes of cars going at a rapid speedy really would like to see sfmta look at that real quickly also before something a tragedy happens there thank you. Thank you supervisor yee colleagues, any other questions or comments i too want to thank everyone all the youth that came out open this particular item item 8 with that then if we could take this item without objection this item passes.
