Blasted straight through at 30 Miles Per Hour and i never saw it coming because the bike lane was masked by a van. So none of these cases, i thin think actually, a policeman saw it and said there was nothing he do about it because bikes do not have registrations and my suggestion to you, and i know it would be heavy in San Francisco, is to consider mandate rate, a recommendation for bikes with our f i. D. Didnt that way you can enforce it. Let me wrap up. The ultimate path to vision zero is the way we design our cities, is by not having pedestrians operating in the same sphere as vehicles. You go all over europe, you look at the great places and look at paris and brussels, lux ombourg. Public comment is closed and commissioner, any closing words . Thank you, everyone. We know this is tough work and we a lot more we need to do and appreciate you and all of the folks out there are doing in the enforcement are doing and thank you, colleagues, for having this hearing and well be following up and continuing to partner with you all. And you are always welcome to the vision zero committee. Commissioner, hainey, as any members of the body are interested, we will happily include you. With that, mr. Clerk, next item, please. Item 11, on the geneva san jose study. Mr. Henderson . Good afternoon. Im tony henderson, an engineer with the wall Streets Division and here to discuss the geneva san jose study and provide an update on where we are. To give a little bit of background, ill try to keep this presentation high level right now and happy to go into any details through the discussion. This is a study that was requested by the then balboa station and funded through the program by commissioner avalos and we communicate. The goals of the project are to look at the general area around balboa park station, centered around the geneva san jose intersection and as coordinate g with the other developments. Over time, our focus has shifted to the mline terminal on the south leg of san jose avenue didnt this is because as we worked through the area, we were finding opportunities to do little changes to the general intersection of geneva san jose. We were working to coordinate with many of the adjacent projects in the area that have been underway and we have the upperyard development which is the former muniyard developed shortterm as the rv triage site and longterm will be turned into a 100 Affordable Housing unit, believe north of 100 units. To coordinate with that, bart is proposing to do a redo of the plaza adjacent to the station and right now it is two drivethrough lanes and theyre proposing to create a plaza and a culdesac loop to facilitate temporary patron loop and dropoff facilities. We have the jeani jeanie have ge which will be bringing a lot more people to the area. As i mentioned, our focus shifted to the mline boarding facilities which is located on the southern leg of san jose. As you can see in the photos here, it shows that this is really not an ideal boarding situation by any means and does not meet current standards. The boarding island for inboard downtown does not fit a twocar train. Most of the trains that serve this are two cars and also the boarding island doesnt connect to the crosswalk. As you can see in the top right photo. This is because of the swing of the train as it exits the terminal and posing technical difficulties. So. Many cross from the sidewalkto. In the bottom photo, you see what happens in the outbound direction. The muni customers step off and cross midbe block. Thimidblock. This is a typical s people are transferring from the mline to bart or other moonny muniroutes. There have been no major incidents and our goal is to make changes before an incident could potentially happen. This is where we came up with the current proposal that weve been working to develop in concept. The current boarding facilities, because of how the tracks are laid out and the turns are, dont allow us to build what we would more traditionally do at a lot of other facilities with boarding islands. So what we are looking at conceptionually is for new boarding buildouts at the niagra intersection, which is the entrance to the bart loop. They are the orange blobs in the lower left corner of the screen and they would be accompanied with accessible ramps for wheelchair users or other persons with limited mobility. Those are the teallshaped items. The trains would be shifted a little bit from their current pickup and dropoff and supported by the new bart path and plaza. The red is a current walking path and the blue is the new one. This would greatly be enhanced for riding and this woul the abo install new pedestrian ramps, the current sorry, the accessible ramps, the current Accessible Facilities are limited and can be cumbersome for passengers to use. Boards are moved away from the congested intersection and discourages pedestrians from crossing midblock. The new bart plaza is less deep than walking along geneva. As with everything, there are tradeoffs, there is increased walking distance to bart or transit lines on geneva avenue but its a less path of travel to transverse. When we have to serve the outbound ramp, the train would momentarily block the next. This is a conversation with the Fire Department and it would move in one lane of traffic. However, traffic volumes here, we believe, can support that and there would be parking impacts. We are talking order of magnitude around 12 to 15 spaces. These are conceptual diagrams and present unique design challenges we would need to work through with our designers. We also need to continue working with the Fire Department on this and it is narrowing the roadway and it would be the accessible stops, blocking the intersections. We need to continue working to make sure we have an acceptable solution. Cost and funding, we are preliminary on the design aspect and its tough to make a cost estimate until we can get detailed into the design but we do expect this would be more expensive construction than what we see on other bulbouts and around the 15 million range. Right now we have funding for this study and to move into preliminary design and we are working with our colleagues and finance to find additional funding. Other improvements to the area that we are looking at, the cameron beach railyard, trying to improve the pedestrian environment through crosswalks, better separate out, the train area, pedestrian area and streetskate improvements. The intersection itself, the signal, it is a very complex signal impacted by multiple train movements, heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic and we are evaluating of courses, southbound, rightturning vehicles from pedestrians, but this will depend on traffic signal feasibility, if the equipment can handle it and well be doing that evaluation. For outreach, this has been and ongoing process. We started with a kickoff meeting several years ago where we heard a lot more from the community about what they liked and disliked about transportation and access in the area. Throughout the years weve done combined areas with bart as theyve had meetings. Our next step is to do onsite popup meetings in the fall to combine with school in session, to discuss with the riders and the big picture here is this, were viewing this as a midpoint on outreach, not the end and theres still a lot of unknowns with what needs to be flushed out with the design and well need to be working with the community to discuss the options and tradeoffs throughout and were far from the end on any outreach here. And with that, ill end. I found this interesting photo from 1972 in the archives, when upperyards was used as a bus yard. Commissioner safai. Thank you, chair and ill be brief. I appreciate that, tony. This is an important study. This anybody has been out in that intersection geneva, it is dangerous at times and there are housethousands and thousands ouf transportation, walking and all different forms of transportation. So anything that we can do to make it safer, im in full support of that. Obviously, we need to work out the details with the Fire Department, to understand better whether or not with can actually block traffic that way. So i want to look at the design, but essentially, im definitely in full support. This is an important part of protecting riders and encouraging riders and making them feel safe in the connectivity. I think moving over to the niagra area allows for an easier flow to get on to bart and its safer and less steep and i like that. Well keep work on the design but i just wanted to say this is a big priority and we want to make riders safer and this area better so we appreciate your hard work and well work closely with you and your team and everyone else to ensure this is the right outcome for out community. Thank you, commissioner. Any other questions from colleagues . Seeing none, i have one speaker card. Mr. Goodman and other members who would like to testify, come forward. Thank you, mr. Henderson. I was on the balboa park station area and that committee is no longer in session and we hope to see that reinvigorated because more housing come into district 11. This services thousands of people and most likely more in the future and we need to look seriously at this site. There is more than just the k, j and m lines and hopefully a future t connection. It was proposed as a possible lrv or brt connection and there are four major routes to this area, this station and anything that can be done to improve the safety for pedestrians and the increased population that will be there is critical. I think that needs to be considered as an alternative, that they look at linking the m, k, j and t lines, whether its across a platform or do a future study to actually look at a more largescale intermodal hub and put engineers in a room and im sure theyll come up with a solution to actually cross platforms and directly connect transit lines and that will improve transit in this district and it will drastically improve transit in other districts adjacent. So im hoping d7, d10 and d11 can push forward the need to study this more in depth. There can be solutions to link the platforms and the trains together, thank you. Any other members who would like to testify . If not, Public Comment is closed. And thank you for that intip study that has gone from commissioner ovolose to commissioner safai and looking forward to working with you, commissioner to further flush that out to find longterm capital. Mr. Clerk, can you call the next item . Potential regional transportation measure update, information item. Miss bose and i mess up your name, michelle. Im michelle bolue at the Transportation Authority and as Marie Lombardo mentioned, the bay area is discussing a transportation measure for a number of years, especially in light of the successes of the major transportation measures in seattle and l. A. And so for a little context, l. A. s measure m is expected to generate 120 billion through a new halfcent stales tax didnt tension of a second halfcent sales tax. Voters approve this to raise 54 billion over 40 years. Our work on the San FranciscoTransportation Plan and the transportation 2045 task force demonstrated there are large funding needs for all parts of our Transportation System and were including the tnc tax and downtown congestion pricing study. A rcmp nam measure would complement that work and recognising that maintaining our existing system in a state of good repair while enhancing it to meet the vision for the future requires funding support from all levels of government. And so, the two groups here today, the bay area and voices for Public Transportation have been planning and thinking about a transportation measure targeting the november 2020 ballot, which promises to be popular given the anticipated high voter turnout. But nothing is set yet and we know there are many barriers to getting something on the ballot and it will be very hard to get something passed because it needs twothirds voter support across the entire region. Now so thithis is your chance tn on all matter of these measures and i know both groups will value your feedback. With that, were start wig the h the voices from the Public Transportation group and then the bay area. Ok. Miss selby. I was going to say good morning but we are well into afternoon and i really have some ricola if anybody needs sugar. My name is dia selby and im with the transit riders and we are proudly the largest transportation Advocacy Organization in the city with the largest number of transportation riders in the region. We are part of and i cofounded this voices for Public Transportation. Does this click automatically . Do i need to come over here . These are some of the organizational endorsements that we have. We have labour, transportation advocates, youth, seniors, disabled and environment. Our goal is to create a valuesbased measure that will have good outcomes and that is winnable and thats what were working towards. This is not about buses and trains but about people. This is marion and she works for the sfp and lives in East San Jose and isnt able to have breakfast or go to school with her daughter judy because she has to get to work. But with investment from a regional transportation measure, she can spend that with her daughter. This is ernesto, the love of his life in livermore, but the commute is killing them but the train is a feasible option and love prevails. Now this is troy l i, born in china and she doesnt werent rohave to burden her family by staying overnight and she wont have to. She can have an easy day trip to the grandkids and get home for dinner when we invest in a regional measure. This is joe at San FranciscoCommunity College and relies on the student express, the 29, which, unfortunately, at nighttime runs 20 been 30, 50, 60 minutes apart. We want to make sure residents of all abilities and income enjoy Transportation Options that reliably, safelily and conveniently get us to where we need to go and how do we do this . With this gamechanging measure creating goodpaying jobs, reducing Carbon Emissions because people will actually want to ride Public Transportation. Behind the vision are principles on the lefthand side and just to show you how policies might come out of it, the principle of better transit green jobs and climate leads to union didnt greeand greenjobs and the sustae worldclasworldcoordinated transportations funds operations at 30 didnt make it cheaper. Promoting social equity means buses get as much attention as trains and lowincome areas get more attention than the downtown where the attention has been. And ensuring fairfunding means we share the burden of the cost of this measure among residents and businesses and the wealthy and we want to be clear we are not supportive of a onecent sales tax as the only way to fund this. Prioritizing Community Engagement means the people have to be at the table working on this measure. Here is some of the folks who develop this vision and principle. A little bit more about who we are, voices for Public Transportation. I just want to focus one more time on the Revenue Source and we will have three different sources of revenue ready for you. We have a consultant working with that with Silicon ValleyCommunity Group and they will be much it will be a much more fair Revenue Source and then, of course, as i mentioned before, very important to us that are principals guide our revenue and were reaching out to the people who need Public Transportation the most. All of this leads to a winnable measure. Quickly, a timeline for you. Senator bell, our transportation chair has to flesh out his bill, sb278 and we need to have our musthaves and by we, i mean everybody, by november. He has the awesome task of by may 2020, passing in both houses by twothirds. In june, it goes to the mtc. In august, back to us and county ballot measure deadlines, the Campaign Begins in ernest august through october for this regional funding measure about people. We vote and we win. So thank you very much for your time and if you have questions, just let us know. Thank you, miss selby. Next presenter, please. Good afternoon. My name is stewart cohen, a member of the Steering Committee and for the previous 22 years until march of this year, i was the founder and executive director of transform, a transportation Advocacy Organization and during that time, i got to work closely with the folks that just presented in voices and so, i appreciate their principles and presentation. The concept of faster bay area, like michelle said, came out of 2016 victories in seattle and los angelos and three groups in our region, bur, the Bay Area Council and the Leadership Group looked around at the fragmented Transportation System, especially Public Transit and realized that unless we can create an integrated and seamless system, were never going to be able to provide access to opportunity for all of our residents, especially with the displacement taking place and were never going to be able to really reduce our climate emissions. Transportation continues to rise in the state, even on an absolute level and so weve got to get our Transit System to be one that works across the region and seamless lou. Seamlessly. We believe the future needs to be faster and in 2020, the region should have a chance to vote on something transformative and for us, that means we need transit that works for everywhere by, first of all, fixing our current system, including needs in San Francisco, expanding it and making it faster, frequent and reliable. And to do that, though, we need to do things differently than in the past. Too many of our transportation funding measures including rcmpg regional three come from a standpoint of putting this as a concept that would be outcome focused. That we would agree on where we want to get as a region in terms of an integrated and affordable system setting up structures to take us there over 40 years instead of deciding 40 years of projects. And the key is to do it in a way that is Cost Effective and include some policy changes and new structures to deliver this promise. Faster is looking at a 100dollar measure and six key principles we would want it to meet and that includes it being rapid and so we need folks like bart to just know that transit will come about every 12 minutes or less and that might vary in some places, but basically, if youre boarding this network and it can be faster branded or some other branding, like the Oneworld Alliance with a lot of operators, you know youll have a fast, reliable trip. The other one is network. We need an improvement greated fare system across the region and branded way finding so people understand where they need to go. It needs to be connected to growing, dense areas and places providing more Residential Homes and apartments. We need it to be accessible, of course and we need to be sustainable and for us, that means all projects need to be able to reduce total vehicle miles traveled and they need to be sealevel rise ready and feignly, affordability is critical and a meansbased fare is one of many components to fund out of this. So weve had over 200 meetings with stakeholders around the region. A lot of transportation experts, environmental groups, equity groups and others and have come up with a framework that were proposing with four elements to it. The first is the largest and this is really the buildout of this Regional Network including both state of good repair, but then also expansion of our existing rail, ferry and bus systems. The second is connections to this system including three components and that would have local transit funds with funds going straight to local transit operators to connect into this system and into their downtowns including an active transportation element with a focus on complete bike and pedestrian networks, a lot like you saw this morning and San Francisco is one of the only places doing it. Third is using emerge moto mobi. The third element would be multibucketed, but it would include the meansbased fare, including funding to have a Network Manager for this network. We dont want to create a new transit agency, but we do need a Network Manager function that would be able to coordinate this integration and the final component won come out o wouldnf this 100 billion but it would be a Reduction Program and were working out the details of this now but we think this could be a critical element where employers would give transit passes, transit subsidies directly to their employees. This is turning out in seattle to be one of the reasons theres such large growth in their transit usage. And these would be some of the priorities. Once projects were eligible, we would be looking for costeffective projects. Ones that improve access and rewarding communities planning for more affordable homes. We are proposing that it would be a onecent sales tax and were doing this, similar to what l. A. Did. Although, half of theirs was an extension of a sales tax, because its politically viable and typical Funding Source for transportation and it would generate that amount of money. Because its regressive, we would be proposing the first instate lowincome tax program, working with agencies to cost this out and understand where the administration of it exactly would take place. But this is done in maine and other states and we would be looking to replicate that here so the lowerincome folks would not end up on average paying anything more than theyre paying today but still get the benefits of affordable fares and a better Transit System. And the other mitigations include the meinbased discounts and employers giving out many more transit subsidies. Ideally lowincome folks have free transit through these mechanisms. Our timeline includes continuing to collect feedback. Weve got that public forum on thursday with sf ta and a Technical Advisory Group of county agencies and transit operators, mtc and caltrans is well be getting a lot of empty information from the plan bay area 2050. I wont repeat the rest of it because thea wepea went throught well. We hope to start a dialogue and we have until may to get through the legislature to continue to flesh that out. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Allen. Next presenter, please. Is that it, michelle. Commissioner furer. Some of the concerns, you think, i have first, i want to say that i understand the need for this and i understand that we need Something Big to sort of be able to accomplish what we like in Public Transportation. So you think some of the concerns that i have is, basically, one, i think that when it was explained to us that it uses existing infrastructure and i wanted to know, this money will be toward creating access to residents on the west side of San Francisco with an underground Transportation System. Also, because we talk about connecting this to residents, some the people that you highlight in here, i get it, but i could highlight 80,000 people in my district who dont have a good connection to many parts of San Francisco or even to the bay area. Also, i wanted to say that a lowincome rebate program, quite frankly, i would like to see not a onecent sales tax and im surprised, actually, that many of the mean have signed o peoplo this, he didnt say a onecent sales tax is ok. Thea, im looking at you because i understand the huge wealth gap we have in San Francisco and a onecent sales tax is regressive. However, when we have businesses in sill so Silicon Valley that o get their peeps up here or down there, this is driven by a need for people to work jobs in certain areas of a region. My pushback is, basically, the lowincome rebate program, i think, big businesses should be paying for the bulk of this and i think that we need to include existing infrastructure connecting my 80 now residents to the rest of San Francisco in the region and then, i want to say that, you know, you really want to talk about equity and then you should not be talking a lot about onecent sales tax. Thats just my initial opinion. I just thought i would share that with the group. But i also think that this is i understand that this is an effort to actually give our Transit Systems a big jump start which is needed. But also, i just want to say that, a onecent sales tax is a big burden, actually, on families trying to make it now. And we constantly do this. We say, we need this for transportation and the people who these people who are low income are 100 dependent on Public Transportation so we want to deliver. But when we talk about the dollars, its the businesses that need us to transport people from theyre to here so they can work. Lastly, i hope youre having conversations with the california puc to talk about uber and lyft. When i see reduced car use, better transit equals less uber and lyft use and i think that if you can have some say with the california puc to let us regulate that in an urban city, that is dedicated billions of taxpayer dollars to a transportation infrastructure and that would be icing on the cake. Thank you. Before miss selby is given an opportunity to respond, i want to apologize to mr. Cohen for calling him mr. Allen, my apologizes. Thea . Thank you for that and i would be happy to have mr. Cohen stewart talking about the onecent sales tax. The voices for Public Transportation has no interest in that being the primary Revenue Source and i want to be clear about that. But i wanted to address the other things about the west side, unequity, getting people in San Francisco around San Francisco. A lot of problems are stemming from 40 of our Carbon Emissions are from cars and trucks. Muni says. 1 which i have a hard time believing but lets say between 1 and 2 . Were that means is that if we want to hit carbon eministers s goals and make it safe for San Francisco, we have a vision zero presentation, if we were to get those cars off the road or a lot of those cars off the road with significant investment, this doesnt happen for free, but with significant investment, perhaps it is railed to garry and if we are able to get the people out of their cars because Public Transportation is as good or better than a car, then that will also allow us to do things like get our Carbon Emissions under control. A lot of safety has do with too many cars. So i do think its important to look not just at the center but the perimeter of San Francisco, you know, the westside. Miss selby, thank you very much. In the last couple of months, i have met with two companies that claim to do electric cars for tn cs and they are applying to the california puc for licenses, using electric vehicles. That is simply not acceptable. So if you want to look into the future, we are not so this is ill be frank with you, because it is about this feeling, if you use an electric car, were lowering emissions and its ok. It is still not ok because San Francisco has invested billions of dollars in a transportation infrastructure and therefore, it is not ok and shouldnt be a part of this culture of, oh, well, for an environment, ill just take now an Autonomous Vehicle which is an electric vehicle versus a lytt or uber using fossil fuels and i feel better about it. That is not a better choice and they shouldnt feel better about it, but when we accept this, that is a slippery slope. I want to say that im glad to hear you say youre not fully on board with the onecent sales tax. When we look at the wealth gap and on the backs of hardworking San Francisco, you look at fresno and the lowincome folk whos are getting hit hard, especially by this Trump Administration that a onecent sales tax is not sitting well with me. I get youre not saying that and this gentleman did. Im sorry i disagree with you is i think big business should be paying more because the president has given them a huge tax break. This will help them and this employeebased program, ok, i think thats great. Let put down the real bucks of billions of dollars, actually, from their companies and to help us with this transportation infrastructure. It only helps them and their businesses and i dont think we should be so quick to say a onecent sales tax and then let them off the hook. If so i just wanted to address that. None of this is, of course, personal and this is really just, i think, that when we are looking at our constituents in sanfrancisco, its hard to stay to my responsibilities and invest in onecent sales tax because in the wes westside, wee running 38 garry and were already 106 over capacity. So unless were looking at a an refrigerator equitable in my neighborhood, sending underground rail to my neighborhood because we are growing from, too, and i think this will be a hard sell for my hood. Ill be honest, onecent sales tax, to acts my residents to pay that and know a lot of this refrigeratoinfrastructure will m better structure and even though i know its one of your guiding principles, its a hard case to make. Thank you. Weve got a board of supervisors meeting and everything has to eat food and i dont want to engage in a back and forth and commissioner waltons name is on the roster. Thank you, supervisor peskin. As a member of the jpb, weve been having a conversation about a Regional Sales tax or a dedicated sales tax for the three counties to fund caltrain which has no Funding Source now. I wanted to bring up an issue and one i definitely share commissioner fuers comments, but i wanted to bring up something specific because whatever regional measure that comes up, it wont be a beneficiary of any measure and so there are Major Concerns right now with governance at cal train and we will require any revenue measure at the state or regional level, include a clause that says caltrain should separate from samtrans in order to receive support from the county of San Francisco towards any state regional measure as its best for governance and operations of the rail system. Therefore, our office will submit a resolution supporting this position. I want to provide a little background of why we are in in place to make three points because we have been here in this meeting for awhile. But one, samtrans is the actual entity that operates as the host for cal train and cal train should be its own separate entity. The joint Power Authority should be the entity responsible for caltrain governance, operations and vision. The current government structure has the leadership of samtrans, also serve as a leadership of caltrain. That is simply bad governance. Two, the joint Powers Authority is made up of three counties, San Francisco, sa sam mateo andm m armatier. Number three. In addition, the law firm representing samtrans also serves as the law firm representing caltrain so far the leadership has blocked my request from making it to the agenda. Furthermore, highlighting the issues of governance, how do you deny an agenda request from a member of the joint powers board . What if theres a legal battle between samtrans and caltrain . Do we use the same attorney . Of course, not, which is a major conflict, so the bottom line here is in order for calrain to realize the vision and become a premiere rail system, the governance system has to be addressed to a more regionalized mod to be put in place and a resolution is fort forthcoming. To get behind a regional measure providing resources to caltrain, that governance structure has to be addressed right away. Thank you. I social myself with your comments and was disappointed to see caltrain cancel without talking to the joint powers board. But as we saw in the earlier discussion around phase two at transbay, if were going to regionalize things, it has to be real and meaningful and theres no better place to have that conversation than on when moneys on table. Weve need the regions hope to form a government where theres real accountability. There was a testy email exchange between commissioner walton, his incar nation aincarnation on oce same day calto train approached senator bell with their request relating to a regional measure and what you heard commissioner walton say is its going to be difficult for this county to support that regional measure until we truly have a meaningful regional governance entity. I say it in the same spirit as what we heard from the expert review panel. If we make cal train everything, we have to regionalize that. Ill open up this to Public Comment which then well ajourn. Im with district one and i think we need to remember the last time we put a revenue measure on for muni, it was defeated and why was it defeated . For two reasons. One, it was a sales tax and people didnt want to pay a regressive tax didnt the other reason, they werent happy with the way muni is ranked. I object and find it offensive that they want to propose a sales tax that hurts the most working people. Why cant we have an income tax or have a tax on the people causing the congestion, the big businesses and i wont name them but tax them. Muni needs to be reformed, especially sustainable streets. It needs to be more accountable to the people is the only way is to have an looke elected or supervisors appoint some of the board of directors. Theres different proposals coming around. So i agree with we need transportation goals, but we need to come up with a different governing board for amta and a different stream of revenue and not keep relying on the easy solution of sales tax. We need to have a progressive tax. Sanfrancisco is one of the more progressive regions in the country so lets put our Heads Together and come up with a progressive tax. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Roth and next speaker, please. Mr. Lebrun. I want to briefly thank you and supervisor walton for your position on caltrain government. Youve been advocating for this for the last eight years. Ive had five offers to go and work for caltrain and i turned them down because its nowhere i will work and i look forward to working for the future of leadership. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Mr. Goodman. I talked about the westside issue for a listening time and supervisor, furer, we talked about solutions on the westside and three northtosouth routes didnt taking the backup slow, like 1. 8 miles of track to link back up to west portal and thats a loop and a link, a solution and we can look at other routes. There was a talk about bart to the beach on fulton and garry, riding it back down to lakeshore or sunset and they can do the tunnels and those are solutions. You have to look at daily city and pacifica, south San Francisco and brisbane. There are no transit lines between bart and caltrains and they have to do secondary systems or extending our muni rail out to add cutly get people out of their cars and that will be the solution to look forward to on such faster initiatives. I think the faster group is working on this has the right intent and i think that theyre looking at how to adequately link transit and get new lines and systems on the table if our existing lines are too slow to get implemented, we cant wait 40 years or spend 300 billion on megaprojects and not solve the outer district area problems that are causing the traffic were seeing currently. Thank you. Thank you, are goodman. If there are no other members, we will close Public Comment and undoubtedly, this conversation is going to go on for quite some time between now and january. With that, is there any introduction of new items or general Public Comment . Seeing none, we are adjourned. I strive not to be a success but more of being a valued person to the community. The day and day operations here at Treasure Island truth in family is pretty hectic. The island is comprised of approximately 500 acres, approximately 40 miles of sanitary sewer, not including the Collection System. Also monitor the sanitary sewer and Collection System for maintenance purposes, and also respond to a sanitary sewer overflows, as well as blockages, odor complaints. We work in an industry that the public looks at us, and they look at us hard in time. So we try to do our best, we try to cut down on incidents, the loss of power, cut down on the complaints, provide a Vital Service to the community, and we try to uphold that at all times. Going above and beyond is default mode. He knows his duties, and he doesnt need to be prompts. He fulfills them. He looks for what needs to be done and just does it. He wants this place to be a nice place to live and work. Hes not just thinking customer service, this is from a place of empathy. He genuinely wants things to work for everyone and that kind of caring, i admire that. I want to emulate that myself. That, to me is a leader. I strive not to be a success but more of being a valued person to the community. The key is no man is an island. When anything actually happens, they dont look at one individual, they look at p. U. C. Stepping in and getting the job done, and thats what we do. My name is dalton johnson, im the acting supervisor here at Treasure Island treatment plant. Good evening. Well congresswoman to the october 23, 2019 board of appeals meeting. Rick swig is joined by ann lazarus and commissioner tanner. We expect commissioner darryl honda shortry and commissioner eudardo santacana will be abtent tonight. To my left is the legal attorney. At the control is the boards legal assistant Katie Sullivan and the league process clerk. I am julie
