Need more engineer and planners, but still, each area should have their own planner and engineer, so we know who to talk to and be responsible for doing things in our neighborhood. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is jodie maderas. Im here with a message from our members and some of them youll hear today. The message is thank you, thank you for pushing the sfmta staff to do more, faster, quicker, else on our most dangerous streets in asking the right questions. Dont stop pushing. We are counting on all of you. Time and time again, were hearing the devastating, angry messages about the precious lives were losing and its feeling disheartening that were getting further and further away from our zero vision goal and fatal crashes by 2024. Thats because were in a state of emergency. Weve lost as many pedestrians this year as we have in all of 201. 2018. We believe that vision zero is achievable. Its all of us, the board, staff, mayor, our board of supervisors, public health, Police Departments, we have to double down on whats necessary now. Were grateful for this team and board for pushing for a new policy on norout noright on rd were thrilled to try a leftturn campaign at eight locations soon. Thank you. These are the solutions we need to put in place to prevent the possibility of crashes, especially in the most dangerous places, our intersection. Were grateful to mayor reed for boosting Traffic Enforcement on the most dangerous driving behaviours. But as weve heard today, its not enough. We want to see tools like redlight cameras, especially if we dont have the people to tackle. It will take every engineering tool and enforcement solution possible to meet the challenge of our streets, as well as all of the transformative policy. Thank you, jodie. Next speak, please. Harold findly followed by Jennifer Walsh and missas miss arbuckle. Im harold findly and you all know how to stop the killing. You know it. You know the route cause. You know how to eradicate it. You have some the best professionals in the world that know how to solve it. You dont need me to tell you the specifics about how do it. I could tell you, but youve read the same books and all of that. But what i can tell you is that theres a growing tide of public support for you to do the right thing, for you to create safe, vibrant cities. You dont have to put the perceived need of somebody to have an s. U. V. Parking in front of his house and drive around the city on his daily errands and drive to tahoe on the weekend, put that perceived need over the real need of a child to walk or ride a bike to School Without violently slaughtered. I mean those are two completely Different Things. You can change your focus coming down from the board to the leadership of the sfmta, to the pd to have things like you pointed out, that should just flow naturally from the top. It shouldnt be a question of no right turn on red. If you have vehicles at all, they dont get to drive in front of people in crosswashes. Cros. Every officer shoulder citing every single sidewalk or bike lane violation. Thats not up for contention. If its a violation, cite it. If youre thinking from the right perspective, youre doing it that way. And youve got you need to know you have the public support growing to do the route things. Right things. Thank you, sir. Jennifer walsh, Nancy Arbuckle and sandy wiseburg. My name is Jennifer Walsh and i work with the abilitys integrator. I wanted to advise you of the sidewalk search party. We believe everyone can give back to the community. But the Community Must be accessible physically and psych psychlogically. This is all about making simple issues fixable by shining light on them so other people can have the power to fix them. The ff sidewalk search party has been meeting since may to strategize how to implement city departments on making sure temporary pathways around construction areas are accessible for all types of accessibility. Over the months, we have had enlightening conversations with mta, 311 w street inspectors about their responsibility for issuing permits, enforcing codes regarding issues, such as path of travel, rightofway, smooth surfaces, contract compliance, a accessibility guideline. In an ideal world, alastor all y departments will take ownership for all than rather than relying on the Mayors Office for construction sites temporary pathway. Perhaps mt can be the leader in changing this philosophy of accessible for all. Everybody is welcomed to the next sf sidewalk search Party Meeting at 166 1663 mission str. Fifth floor on september 9t september 9th from 1 00 p. M. To 2 30 p. M. Thank you very much. And since we rode over on the train together, i will say thank you for riding muni. Thank you. Ok, wonderful. Next speaker, please. Nancy arbuckle, susan wiseburg and nancy harrison. I want to thank the board for this opportunity to speak. Im Nancy Arbuckle from hyde street. Im a member of walk San Francisco. Im a committed pedestrian and a Public Transit rider. Everyone in my family is. We sole botwe sold both of our x years ago and will never own a car again. Were concerned about injuries and fatalities on San Franciscos streets and not just on the highinjury network, but on a lot of streets. We dont want to die out there but weve come too close too many times. Right turners look left for other vehicles and turned right and turned right into us. Left turners look at oncoming traffic and speed right into us. I often cross the street with my arm outstretch acting like my on traffic cop. So im glad that mayor breed is asking for a noturn policy and support a policy that recognises safety, safety, as the highest priority. Im also glad that the mayor recognises that citations and enforcement are critical to Getting Division zero. I want to thank this board for quickly implementing the solutions that we know will slow speeding traffic and protect us all in intersections. Thank you. Thank you very much, next speaker, please. Susan wiseburg, nancy harrison, brian weadonmeyer. Welcome. Good afternoon, my name is susan wiseburg and im a pedestrian. In june, i spoke before this board urging you to pass the quickbuild proposals to reduce pedestrian deaths and you approved those. And i thank you for that. But since then, in just three months, there have been three more deaths and countless more injuries. This is outrageous and i know that you all agree. Miss crumbburg said earlier that were doing everything we can with all of the tools that we have. So clearly we need different tools and do Different Things with them. Now as director henninger said, the danger of pedestrians on San Francisco streets is an emergency now. The city must forthrightly work to implement all proposals, specifically those in the transformative policy agenda. Even though, they may need state approval. Vision zero needs to stop being a vision and become an actuality. Next people, please. Nancy harrison followed by brian weadonmeyer. Im nancy harrison. Thank you. I moved to San Francisco from madison, wisconsin about a year ago. One of the reasons i moved here was because of muni and bart and your Public Transportation system. The senior fairs, the apps that you have have all made it easier for me to make this transition. Im committed to walking daily around the city, gave up my car, left it in the midwest. But i am the dem graphigraphic m so glad my name wasnt in that list. In february, i was hit by a leftturrinleftturning car at e intersection of 18th street and gadado. I was in the crosswalk, it was dayloot. Daylight. Youve heard this story 100 times, so the oncoming car stopped. The guy just turned right into me in the crosswalk. So fortunately, i was unconscious and rushed to the hospital. I am a survivor. It makes me hesitant to go in the trees. I walk everyday and there it is, this intersection where i live, its dangerous. In looking every way, the right turners, left turners, trying to make contact through the shaded windows, i do this. It feels ridiculous in that i dont think the lefthand turner would have seen this either, because there i was. But i guess what i want to say is that im glad that i hadnt heard of vision zero and through walk San Francisco, i did. Im pleased to hear all of your commitment and some passion around this. I hope to live here for many years and not find my name on the list and im greatfu gratefr what youre doing. Thank you for sharing your story. It does me does help for you to. The more personal accounts, theres a face to this epidemic and thank you for sharing what, im sure, was a traumatic event. Brian weadonmeyer and herbert weiner. Im the executive director of the San Francisco bicycle coalition. On behalf of our 10,000 members, i want to join my colleague and friend, jodie maderos from walk San Francisco, thanking you and the agency and the progress we have made in things lake our quickbuild policy, pushing for state enforcement. However, i would not be doing my job as an advocate, if i didnt come here and tell you we are not doing enough and director, since you asked for specific examples, i would like to suggest a few. The first is that during the presentation on the vision action strategy, when you list one of your strategy goals as eight miles of improved Sustainable Transportation lane per year and the mayor has challenged this agency to build 20 miles of protected bike lanes in two years, so youve got this mismatch of it looks like youre working back from the Mayors Challenge on 20 miles. That does not include brt lanes or pedestrian safety. That is 20 miles of projected bike lanes alone and were saying 16 miles by 2021. On market, street, we will have an opportunity to improve turn restrictions. It suggested 10th street to main would be a significant one. Thats one of our most dangerous. Lets extend that to goth and franklin. We have policies that we can use and deploy red light cameras right now. Why have the number of red light cameras reduced to over half since the old models are removed . Why are we not installing cameras that weve seen listed on fatal collisions . Thank you very much. Herbert winer . Mr. Winer, two minutes. Herbert winer. I appreciate the thoroughness and systematic rigger before the board. Theres a safety on the sidewalk. Constantly, theres endangerment of pedestrians on the sidewalk. And an argument has been stated that if he build more bike lanes, there will be less violations. Its clearly illegal to ride on the sidewalk and people need to be protected, especially senior and disabled. And its pointed out that a vehicle that travels at any speed a threatening to a pedestrian. That certainly applies to bicycles on the sidewalk. You have to stop this. So hopefully the laws should be enforced equally. So hopefully, when vision zero surveys people, they survey the pedestrians and not groups. What would happen if a member of the board were struck by someone on the sidewalk or a Law Enforcement officer . Its up to you to draw the conclusion. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Winier. Any further Public Comment . If you want to speak. So youll be the final public speaker. Tom, the floor is yours. Thank you. Before i mention signals, the red, yellow and green, we need, i say, dedicated signals to hold back pedestrianed t pedestrianse turns turn. You have to make the decision in the beginning of a light change when it turns to green to let cars turn right or turn left while the pedestrians are Still Holding up. If you ban lefthand turns, thats ok and if you dedicate lefthand turns, they need to be dedicated in the beginning of a signal change. What about magic eye signals that say there are people on a corner waiting or theres no traffic in the oncoming lanes or sides . I dont know how that can work but we have magic eyes everywhere and maybe they can control the signal. Old folks crossing, that seems to be a major problem. Is there a button that we can hit at the corner that old people can say gets ten more seconds to get across the street, that holds the lights up . And vanesse again, the buses that well wind up putting on vanesse, if they stop at every other stop, we can do all of the stops that we had once on vanesse. The old folks on vanesse could use it. There are people that are going to get old on vanesse. And we can still put the stops in half and every time a bus stops behind the bus thats at a stop, that bus is going to move and jump the next stop. If you can follow me on that, i think its doable. I think its better for the folks that live in the city on vannesse, thank you. Thank you. Final speaker. Good afternoon, board of directors. Could i have the overhead, please . I dont think you see People Holding laptops. I wanted to first quickly say the vision zero sf twitter account came out with a video recently asking cyclists to stop at red lights. Please know they speak with the citys voice and especially the opposite is true. Charles vincent died in 2015 because a car ran a red light through him. I would appreciate it if the city was not saying bike bicycls are responsible for their own death by running red lights. We had a discussion about what hor can be done. This isnt stockholm and everything you see here is temporary. Those signs, lines, trees, its temporary. This is a quick build. This is in vancouver, british columbia. Theres now a curb separating the bike lane but it wasnt always there and you can see the planters. That was a quick build. This is my hometown in the the netherlands and you can see two things on opposite sides of the street that force cars to make a lig zigzag and only one car can pass in each direction and i think this is permanent infrastructure and a quick buildable. This is in denmark, where cars want only pass no one direction through this bus stop here. This is not a quick build but quick buildable. This is speed table. Once again, im not sure this is quick buildable but residents intersections should all look like this. So fa food for thought there. That concludes Public Comment on this item and we had a robust discussion before. Is there anyone v i have comments myself but are there any with comments. Thank you so much. You did such a great job. Its been so gratifying in the years ive been on this board to see this discussion and to see this work evolve. Im so proud of this board as i am proud of you and im proud of the public that came here. Remember what you heard up here, not just the work youre doing but all of the work that staff is doing. Remember how supportive this board is. And when youre out proposing projects in the neighborhood, remember that we will support whatever moves the safety needle forward. So when you get pushback from new brunswicknewneighbours on p, on daylighting, changing anything in the neighborhood, remember how engaged and emphatic this board was on reaching these vision zero goals. That list and that moment of silence in the beginning was chilling and that could be any one of us and any one of our loved ones and so we have to remember that and any time staff comes to us, we have to ask, yes, and, what else could you do . Was there something that didnt get included. As one of the speakers noted, we have seen Public Opinion shift. To your point, director, dayloot of intersections, went that parking removal is on the consent calendar, we have had people complain but i havent seen that happen. So were letting the public know this is important work and in order to reduce deaths on our streets, we need to do that. Thank you so much, captain, the work with enforcement is fantastic. I would love a Police Officer on the corner of vidadero and hazes to stop blocking the sidewalk. Not all of my neighbors would want that, so i try and remind myself. So for me, more officers enforcing is fantastic, but not all of my neighbors will feel the same way. Certain communities dont want as many Police Officers out there. So we need to balance that and i have every faith in the world in sfpg that theyll approach that sensitively. I want to thank everybody. I am not surprised neighbors would choose to lose a traffic lane rather than parking spaces, but its a good message to us, because traffic lane removable is palatable. Lets remember that as we go forward. I can think of a few streets to lose traffic lanes. Thank you for the work, the public who showed up, thank you and hava and megan, i wanted to stand unanup and applaud. Weve come a long way and were on the right track. Thank you. Any a directors . Director torez . I want to echo our past directors comments because think theyre on target. I do walk the streets of San Francisco more than i ride a bike or do other things and believe me, mr. Winer, ive been almost hit from bicyclists, scooters on the sidewalk and its unbelievable what occurs in there, especially for Senior Citizens and im one of those now, too, that are impacted but these activities and by the lack of ken fo concern for safety of. Its true for drivers. It happens all of the time where im trying to cross the street and they dont care who is in the crosswalk. They dont care whats going on with the tree around them and not looking. But number one, theyre on their phones. Theyre texting or theyre a vehicle that utilizes our streets for pay and theyre not taxis. They usually dont live in San Francisco but come from all over the state to harass and to, basically, congest our very streets here. So we have a long way to go, but i believe that efforts of many of the mea people who spoke shod be applauded and we need to do that to our staff and i will thank you for the incredible report which i thought was pervasive in so many areas but my fellow director has good recommendations, as well. So we need to continue to work together, because this wont be solved overnight. Thank you. Dr. Borden. I wanted to say i agree with all of my colleagues up here and i want to thank the Police Department for being here. Youre a critical part of the solution on our streets. I often wonder if we can build the railroads, crosswalks. I feel like you need to put those gates down because i see such bad behaviour on streets and we have to let people know they cant get away with driving too fast. People are walking on street. Theres people in neighborhoods, a Restaurant Owner chef got hit at division on his motorcycle. The point is that it shouldnt be that way. People shouldnt live in fat fef walking across the street. Its a message to remind ourselves to slow down. There was a great article a couple of weeks ago in the chronicle, that its not a problem just here but everywhere that people are in a hurry to get place. So we have to work against the National Trend to be distracted and not slow down and Pay Attention and really do our part, whether were acting as pedestrian, a driver, a cyclist, a motorcycle rider. We have to remember when those positions how to be safe and look aut out for others. But on our end, you have our commitment to work on these quickbuild initiatives that we know we can do in our wheelhouse. Obviously working on the state level enforcement, i think Police Officers union is supportive of the legislation to whicwhich is a great steph stepd but we need to utilize all tools in our toolbox and stay on it. We need to look at data and its great to have people remind us and its ashame to have people remind us, but this is a city and the reason we live here is because its walkable and its notliable if you cant walk across street. So i want to thank you all for your work on this. I know we have a ways to go. There are many things well be doing in the coming months and anything to do to expedite getting things done, i think you have full support in making things happen. I just wanted to also say thank you. I wanted to ask youre willing to report back as often as we want, oh, excellent i do think this is so important to articles and everything and im wondering if im interested in what others think, but maybe a Quarterly Report is where we can see metrics and things like that. I think that would be helpful for me but i dont know how manageable that is. You dont think theres an objection. I think well act well ask or o work that out. I think thats a good idea. Youve gotten feedback on pretty specific ideas. For example, director hemminger that shows a high injury network, where we have daylighted and where we havent and an indicater of the year where we will be doing it. That is the sort of document that can be updated as we go and show progress to the director, at least this director on something hes interested in. Im not here to draw your diagrams today but i think you have some feedback and if we have that repeat update as we should, you can take a little lesson from julie and this sort of ongoing, living organic documents that show us how were growing are helpful and something the public will appreciate. Let me say one thing one thing is a loose thing. You asked and important question, director, and weve talked about small items, rightturn restrictions. I appreciate the sobriety of your comment. Maybe they wont work and now weve put a pedestrian in a worse situation where theyre not anticipating a right turn and it happens. You can see similar issues with leftturn restrictions and how that will send cars to different places and create patterns. Those small fixes, we have to look to see whether it works. But interestingly, on the eve of our adopting the Market Street plan, and the eve of our adopting making a major thorou thoroughfair of San Francisco a free zone, were not talking about that tool. Youve been advocate for a carfree Market Street for years. Ive been toll to be patient because of eir restrictions and this, that and the other thing and now were there. One of the reasons ive stayed on this board and fought this day is to see this to completion. Director, thats a big tool that we have and theres no rule that says thats limited to Market Street. And i think we need to think bigger about this. There are places all through this state where cars can go and pedestrians cant. Theyre called highways and freeways. They exist because theyre efficient for the cars and because theyre so efficient for cars, you dont want people there. You need to think the other way around. And i think we need to think not just about places where you can only walk, because then were only looking at the vision zero goal as were doing it. Director brinkman is right, theres a change in Public Perception and a desire to address this issue through public policy. Theres also a changed and increased desire for muni to be more efficient in this city. I will say to you planners again, i think you can marry the two. I have on numerous occasions talked about red carpeting entire streets, making them transit only. That will serve what i think is the most important safety goal for pedestrians, which is to get people out of their private cars, get their commuting by Public Transit, have them behind the wheel of a professional, trained driver much less likely to have an accident. In addition, that will lead to streets where there arent private cars. People choose where to walk by where its safer. I am very confident to a moral certainty that once we have finally completed the Market Street project, you will see people leaving Mission Street or Howard Street or north of market to make eastwest commutes to come to Market Street because it will be safer for them to walk there. We can do the same thing elsewhere. Idi dont know what the street. Youve seen a few that im thinking should be the next one. But you asked a provocative question and whats the next big tool weve got i . To that to me is it. I would challenge this by our next boar retreat, which is january or february, to say what is the leading contender for a major red carpet thoroughfare to facilitate transit and safety and serve both interests at once . As youre evaluating that, and i expect this will be a fun project for a lot of you and this is why you went to fancy grad schools to do this, think about both goals. How are we going to serve and area where we need better transit, safer pedestrians and merge them together and create the political will of two forces behind doing this and, you know, obviously that can include bike lane and taxis, as well. Let start thinking about the next Market Street, because director, thats a blunt tool and i think blunt in the positive sense that we have in our toolbox. Ok. Anything else . I saved my speech to the end. If i could save, mr. Chairman, youre my kind okindof chairman. Made it all worthwhile. That was emotional air conditioning right there. [ laughter ] thank you very much. We will move on to the next item, please. Item 12, discussion and vote as to whether to invoke the attorneyclient privilege and conduct a closed session. Move for a closed session. All those in favour say aye. Guests, we have to throw you out. Oh, i forgot to say, captain martin, thank you so much for being here today and for all that youre doing to keep us safe. We appreciate it. Yes. So my book that i chose and it sums up my feelings as an activist and woman and legislator. It is girls can. I want to thank everyone for coming. This means a lot. This is a first step. We will see you at the next one. Thank good morning, everyone. Im tom mcguire and i have the privilege of acting as the San Francisco m. C. A. Were here to celebrate the opening of this beautiful train platform. This is going to be the best way to get to the chase center arena. Were exciting to be cutting the ribbon on that platform today. This arena will be the most sustainable, transitfriendly and most successful arena in the nba. To celebrate this opening, i would like to welcome mayor london breed. Mayor breed thank you, tom. There are a lot of folks here today to celebrate this platform, and i just want to start by thanking each and every one of you for being here and helping us to get the word out, but i especially want to thank the warriors. Not only have they committed to making sure that this is the most transit friendly chase center anywhere, but they can put their money where their mouth is by making investments in our Transportation System here in San Francisco. This platform is just one of their many commitments to supporting transportation to chase arena for the over 220 events that they plan to host every single year. We announced a few weeks ago that any event that you attend at chase center, you can basically show your ticket as proof of payment to get on muni and pull up right to the almost front door and walk over and enjoy a good time. And then when youre ready to go, you can hop right back on muni to get back home or wherever youre trying to get to. A year ago we formed a committee to talk about how we were going to be the most transit friendly location when chase center opened, and the warriors have been at the table, ucff has been at the table. The legislators have been at the table. I really want to thank ucsf for being here today and an incredible partner to make sure that people are able to get in and out this community, whether theyre going to the hospital at ucsf or going to class or coming back from mission bay or going to chase center, this neighborhood which basically used to be a railway and empty space has now become a real part of San Francisco as an incredible, thriving community, with people, restaurants, places to go and things to do. Ive got to tell you, chase center is like the icing on the cake because this is where entertainment is going to happen, this is where the championship warriors nba champions will play right here in San Francisco starting this fall for the well, actually coming home for the second time in our great city. Im so excited about whats to come when we open this new center. But today is about really promoting our transportation plans and how we need to get people around this area safely, securely, efficiently. The thing that people ask about the most, first of all, San Francisco has a lot of congestion, but now that were adding another 18,000 people who are going to visit this area over the course of 220 events, what are we doing . Well, we got bike share, we got plans with muni, we have so many incredible opportunities for people to choose the Ferry Service and transit options first. Our goal is to get the word out and to hopefully when we open this amazing place well see tons of people getting right off at this platform to attend the first concert here and attend one of the first games happening here for the golden state warriors. Im excited about this. Thank you to the neighborhood for your patience and all the people that have had a tremendous role. Id also like to add my real appreciation for the warriors and the four Additional Trains that were going to be getting in addition to the platform and some of the other Infrastructure Improvements as their commitment to doing all they can to provide transit options for the visitors to chase arena. Theyve been an incredible partner in this city. At this time, id like to introduce another incredible partner, someone whos helped on the legislative side and continues to advocate for not only resources for San Francisco, but continues to push the envelope around the kinds of transit options that we need to make San Francisco and the bay area a more transit friendly, a more efficient place to move people around, thats Assembly Member david chu. Thank you, madam mayor. San francisco, are we ready for basketball . Are we ready for the warriors . So i was trying to think of something pithy to say that would be appropriate for this day. This is what ill say in four words this is the station for dub nation. All right. This is ride, this journey, has been long in coming. I was just talking to rick wells about how it was eight years ago when i was serving as president of the San Francisco board of supervisors, i got a call about the possibility that the warriors might move to our great city. A lot as happened over that time. I remember asking him the question how are we going to move 18,000 people in and out games this many times a year . Today we announced we unveiled part of the solution to that blueandgold question. I want to also along with the mayor thank so many folks that were responsible for the day, starting with the mayor and her team at muni, along with our contractors and our engineers, our builders. Of course to the warriors for your vision of what an amazing venue could be about. Ucsf, thank you for not only your science but also partnership. I want to thank a moment to thank the neighborhoods, the neighbors, our transit advocates for bringing us to where we are today. I want to take a moment to thank the legislature and the bay area voters who last year passed regional measure 3, which is over 4 billion of transit and congestion funding to help ensure that we are building the best Transit System in the world here in San Francisco. Let me also mention today is a Ribbon Cutting, but this is not going to be the last transit stop Ribbon Cutting. As i mentioned when we were moving forward with regional measure 3 it was suggested to me and my colleagues that we also invest in a ferry system that includes a future mission bay ferry stop. If all goes well, in 2021, we will hopefully do a Ribbon Cutting there as well with the temporary option, as mayor breed just reminded me. Let me just close by saying that we all know that the greatest 21st century cities have great transit. We know we have more work to do in San Francisco, but this is one of the major stops to ensuring that we have great transit here in San Francisco and here in the bay. Go dubes. With that, its my honor to introduce someone who needs no introduction. Someone who has overseen three championships over the last five years, the the of the golden state warriors. Thank you. Another great day. We have been on this journey for about seven years now. I know its a distant memory, but we had some press conference on pier 3032 about seven years ago accepting the mayors invitation to bring the warriors back to San Francisco. Obviously a lot has happened since then. Two people up here actually, all of them, but two in particular at that point in time were critical to this project david chu in his former role at the board of supervisors was one of the first advocates for this project. It seems really easy now that its all done. At the time he took some arrows for us and there were some times when it wasnt the easiest position to be taking. David, we owe you a great debt of gratitude and the support you gave us then in guiding us to our new home at mission bay. Im going to introduce this guy in a moment, but i want to Say Something about him before i do. Chancellor hagad has been an amazing partner in getting this project done. Through the time that i have known him, which initiated with this project, ive come to respect what an incredible steward you are for this amazing institution. Hes a really good negotiator too. I will tell you that. He was you know, we had a common vision, but we had to figure out how to get there. The getting there was the part that chancellor hagood was so instrumental in making happen. Mayor breed before she was mayor was a supporter. She even came with us to china a few years ago to see the warriors play there. She has since the time she has been in office has been an inbelievable advocate in focusing in on what its going to take to make this project successful for the city. I think her encouragement is what resulted in our muni program. Remember that, your ticket to any event at j center is our ticket on muni. Free transportation on muni the day of the event. Thats an incredible opportunity. I think its not only going to be great for getting people familiar with muni on muni. I think its going to bring a lot of people to muni that have never tried it before because of the guests from outside the bay area and outside of San Francisco who now will have an experience with muni that hopefully theyll repeat over and over again. I think, mayor, youve assured us that tom has made sure with all this demand that were creating, that the service is going to match that demand, right . Isnt that what you told me . Thanks to each and every one of you. You deserve to be up here. Were less than a month away from cutting a ribbon and welcoming our first event, metallica and the San Francisco symphony. What else would you do in San Francisco on september 6. Thanks to all of you. Im going to turn this over to chancellor sam hagood. Thank you, rick. Let me welcome you all here the Medical Center and university here. Were delighted to be welcoming the equally world class warriors to be our partners. It has been a journey as rick mentioned, but i am confident that everything is in place to make this a spectacular success not just for mission bay, but San Francisco. At ucsf we strongly believe in the mayors transit policies. We run our electric Shuttle Services to keep our patients, staff, students out of cars. We promote the use of transit whenever we can. That includes allowing City Employees to access our transit to zuckerberg San Francisco general hospital. I would like to especially thank the mayor, who from day one has made a commitment to the opening of the chase center and the operations of the chase center the Great Success that i know it will be. With the cooperation of the m. T. A. For their terrific work on this new pavilion. My office is just here. I can actually see this Transit Center and see the chase center from my office. I believe ill be looking directly into ricks office. Well be able to monitor very carefully how this all works, but were very excited about welcoming the warriors to our neighborhood. I thank the members of the ucsf community, but the Broader Community who have tolerated a lot of construction including our own construction and the warriors and the transit.
