February 11th. Mr. Clerk, can you please call the roll. [roll call] we have quorum. Can you please call the first item. Im 2, the citizens advisor report. Im john larsen, chair of the citizens advisory committee, and im here to report on january 22nd meeting of the c. A. C. We began the meeting welcoming to members, representing district 5 and 9, so were currently on full strengthe strength of te c. A. C. Item 6 on your agenda, the c. A. C. Members discussed the vetoed legislation relating to a paved area the time, resources and funds being allocated towards a project that might have a limited impact on overall congestion, while benefiting a very specific neighborhood, could possibly be used better in neighborhoods of concern. And other thing is exploring a tax assessment around the affected part of lumbar street. Sb50 was also discussed by the c. A. C. , specifically linking housing proposals too closely with additional funds for transportation and infrastructure. One member expressed concern that efforts for needed additional housing should not be slowed or scuttled because of complex issues about transportation not being decided, setting up catch 22 situations, where transit infrastructure is expected to be in place prior to approval for increased housing density, but transit plans wont be approved without specific commencements to housing already in place. Turning to item 7 on your agenda, allocation of 8 million in prop k funds, they focused on the reconstruction project. Members umped tha urged that any timing of the closure of the bridge or any detours be timed to concert and events in the area, and be sensitive to local needs, given the vital role that third street plays in the community. And they want to keep the bike routes open as much as possible during the time of the bridge. The pier e2moa for the quarters 9 and piere pier e2. And expressed excitement about the design and rollout of pier e2 and future development of the adjacent torpedo building. Lastly, a great deal of discussion was generated by a presentation on the Public Information and Outreach Campaign for the u. S. 101deck replacement and a alemany replacement. They asked about prioritizing Public Transit in the corridor during the traffic diversions, such as implementing a busonly lane. Additional recommendations were for adding Traffic Control for the outer bart stations to accommodate traffic spillover from people exiting the freeway early, before they get to the affected area. Caltrans promised to refer the suggestions to bart and local authorities. Caltrans was also strongly urged to conduct preferential hiring among residents impacted. The district 10 c. A. C. Rep emphasized that whoever was engaged to assist with d. B. E. Really reach into the local community to do their hiring. Another c. A. C. Member recommended internet search because the caltrans replacement project website currently appeared in the web. We look forward to welcoming mr. Tomlin to the c. A. C. In the near future. And that completes my report. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Larsen. And thanks for that information. Are there any questions for mr. Larsen on behalf of the c. A. C. . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing no Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. Item 3, approve the minutes of the january 28, 2020 meeting. This is an action item. Chairman ms. Smith. Were approving the minutes first. Chairman my apologies. Ive jumped ahead. Are there any comments on the minutes of january 28th . Seeing none, is there a motion to approve the minutes made by commissioner preston, seconded by commissioner walton. Roll call, please. [roll call] we have final approval. Chairman the next item. Item 4, appoint one member to the citizens advisory committee. Good morning, april smith at the transportation authority. The transportation auth has 11 members, which each member serving a twoyear term. The board appoints any individuals to fill any open seats. To qualify for appointments for the c. A. C. , applicants must be san franciscan residents, and must appear before the board to speak about through qualifications. In the packet is a list of applicants, and it has information on each applicant. The vacancy under consideration today as a result of the term expiration of mr. Tanon. Chairman any questions for ms. Smith . Seeing none, mr. Tanon, come on up. Good morning, chair peskin and members of the commission. Im peter tanon, a district 8 resident seeking reemployment. Prior to returning, i served at the Program Manager for s. F. M. C. A. P. So so i have a City Employees knowledge, and institutional knowledge, and experience of transparency issues, and im an involved citizen who use muni and bicycles almost every day. My most important c. A. C. Objectives are the implementation, monitoring, and following up. Muni workshop and recommendations to the new sf m. T. A. Director, who is making the leap for more than 20 years as a very wellconnected consultant, to head a 2. 2 million public agency, which has had a history of problems. And key issues to track include operator shortages, transit supervision, especially in regards to the effects of bus bunching, the short and longterm subway reliability, and an application of Lessons Learned from the van ness project to the garry project. And secondly, a continued monitoring and increased regulation of Transportation Network companies bicycle and scooter sharing. [buzzer] and, thirdly, input to the downtown congestion management pricing study. Id be happy to answer awe questions, and thank you for your consideration. Chairman thank you, mr. Tanon. Are there any questions . Seeing none, are there any other applicants who would like to testify . Is there any Public Comment on this matter . Seeing none, we will close Public Comment. And is there a motion to reappoint mr. Tanon to the c. A. C. . Im sorry, supervisor mandelman. Thank you, mr. Chair. We did interview several qualified, extent applicants for this position. I wish we could appoint all of them. The incumbent, however, as far as i can tell, has been doing a great job. He is the longestserving member of the c. A. C. , and he is active and engaged, he has chaired it and vice chaired it, and i see no reason to not reappoint him. I would like to move we reappoint him. Chairman motion made by mr. Mandelman. And seconded. Next item, please . Item 5, state and federal legislation update. This is an action item. Chairman mr. Watts. Good morning chair and board members. Im grateful to be here this morning because i got to get out of the wind up in my area. So this is a very nice res pit for me respit for mere. Me. A week from friday will be the last day to see bill introductions. It has been a slow period for the last several weeks of maybe a dozen or two a day, and i think it will pick up in the next coming weeks. We will most likely have a lot of bills to bring forward to you at the next cycle. On your agenda, on table 1, we have a couple of bills that are poised for action. First is ab1848 by Assembly Member lac lackey out of southern california. His bill would propose to appropriate as much as 4 billion from the remaining proposition 1a high speed rail bond program specifically to the regional transportation Regional Rail corridor in southern california, operated by metrolink. As a side note, we know that the highspeed Rail Authority is going to be seeking an appropriation this year to continue the work on the Central Valley to bay area segment that is under way. So thats so that measure is in direct competition with the efforts that the administration and the highspeed Rail Authority board will be seeking. A second measure that were recommending opposed unless amended is ab1964, by mr. Fraser, the chair of the Assembly Transportation committee. Essentially it deals with remoteoperated Autonomous Vehicles, and provides a slightly expanded definition to bring that category into the Autonomous Vehicle regulatory scheme. But the amendments we would like to see are similar to what we sought in the past, which would be at least language requiring consultation by the commercial operators with local entities on safety issues that may be anticipated. And that will be right out of the gate, the first thing we push for on that measure. Two bills that we have down for a watch position are very similar in concept, but slightly different. Ab1350by Assembly Member gonzales from san diego deals with free youth passes by transit. And similarly, assembly mr. Chu has introduced ab2012, which would require the availability of free passes for seniors. In both cases, they have a similar trigger in order to qualify for a certain state transit funds, and the Transit Agency would have to adopt these operating principles. So we have those as watch for now. There is a concern about the amount of revenue that could be affected. And we dont have a good handle on that yet. So until we know how much it is going to be redirected for these purposes, the staff is recommending a watch position. I want to comment on two of the bills that in the wake of the 2019 half of this session and the twoyear month of january having passed, whereby any bills in the first house had to pass. There are two notable bills, ab40, by mr. King, which failed to meet the deadline, and that bill would have limited the eligibility for cv rp, assistance for is electric vehicle programs and manufacturers. Unless the manufacturer of the vehicles had entered into an agreement with the state of california, and in this case, the measure was not able to muster enough votes, so it was not taken up for a final vote. In addition, a bill that was very carefully monitored throughout the year, sb50, by senator weiner, and i think you know the outcome of that. It was not ready to move forward this year. We do expect, and by all accounts understand, that senator weiners office and senator weiner will be working on this issue throughout the remainder of this half of the legislative session. So we expect to see more activity in the housing projection arena. A couple of hearings of interest i want to height. Highlight. One is underway later this afternoon. The Senate Transportation Committee Hearing on an update on sb1, how the programs have been implemented, how well is the money getting out the door, how well are contracts being let, and trying to flag or identify any problems in the sb1 arena. That update will be completed later today. In addition, a second hearing is scheduled on february 25th by Senate Transportation committee dealing with t. N. C. S. There was an initial t. N. C. Hearing in the fall. This one is going to look more closely at privacy and datasharing. Your t. A. Staff plans to in in attendance to monitor this hearing. Ive been in touch with the Senate Transportation consultant, and we have had access to the agenda. And i think well have a good handle on that and be able to report that out when that happens. For the november ballot, there is the the staff asked me to double check the status, and i have on the revision to prop 13, the socalled split roll initiative. That is one of the lone items ready for november nov 2020 at this point in time. And there are some pending initiatives as well. The one bit of news is there is a reference in the summary document at the Controllers Office im sorry, the secretary of states office, that indicates they have seen the legislative analysts revenue estimate, and it looks like an annual estimate of 6 million to 10 million, depending on the market for housing. And as a reminder, 40 of that would go directly to schools, and the other would be retained for distribution within the communities from wence it came. In closing, staff member Maria Lombardo has a presentation briefly to talk about a couple of the bay areas specific members. With that, i bring my part of the propertytation t presenta close. Chairman thank you, mr. Watts. Are there any questions for mr. Watts . Seeing none, ms. Lombardo. Ill be very brief. I wanted to talk about two regional bills. One youve probably all seen in the news, ab25727 bbyAssembly Member chu. It tries to get our 27 transit operators to operate in a way that is more customerfocused and seamless. Many know you have to struggle with sometimes didnt payment mechanisms, findings and maps that require a degree. There is a lot to make our transit operators Work Together as a single system, with the goal as making it easier in helping us to achieve many of our environmental goals, getting people to ride transit. One of the sponsors of the bill is seamless bay area. And we have ian griffith, the cofounder of the organization, if you have any questions. Owfeour understanding is right now this is a spot bill, which is why we have a watch bill. There are few sentences describing the intents. Our understanding is when the bill is amended, there will be a provision to appoint some sort of commission or Blue Ribbon Panel that is recommended to come up with recommendations. Those who would need legislative authority would then go back to the legislature. This could range in the gamut from consistent mapping and way finding, coordinated schedules, and so forth. On the very high level, this all sounds great, and were very supportive of it. And we will, in fact, be bringing back an action to the c. A. C. In march to adopt a position of support for those highlevel principles. But like many things in life, the devil is in the details. Ill give you two examples. Were working with many of the stakeholders and assemblyman chus office to provide some input. When you form a commission to do this, the tendency often in sacramento is to go on a population basis, or one county representative. That probably wont work for us here. The urban core tends to get diluted. And when you think about it, muni, bart, and a. C. Transit, the three biggest operators, i believe they are 80 of the bay area transit ridership. That should be reflected in the composition of that panel. And one of the proposals is to try to come up with a commonbased fare. It might very well be possible, but it warrants a lot of study. Each Transit Agency has different financial setups, some with voterapproved measures, places like San Francisco with a strong history of supporting transit first, and we have regularly subsidized our transit system. We dont want it being diverted to catch everybody else up with where we are. So we are looking very much forward to working with the author at seamless bay and others to make this workable because there is certainly a lot of room for improvement. The last bill ill highlight is sb278, from the south bay, and this is a spot bill. This is the place holder for the potential regional transportation measure that is being led by commissioners from business interests, and right now theyre looking at a onecent, ninecounty sales tax for primarily Regional Transit and first and last mile. It is also being looked at with a mandated contribution from employers that would take the form of requiring them to provide, like, shuttles or subsidized transit passes for their employees. Ill come back to that in a second. That is one of the regional numbers. I want to point out two others because theyre all in the race together. We also have ab1487, which was authored and approved in the prior year from assemblyman chu, that allowed a variety of reach maregional housing mechanism mechanisms to be approved and then put on the ballot. The housing folks are looking at a 10 billion general Obligation Bond for november for housing. And we also have sb797, that would go to the sales tax, which commissioner walton is well aware of. All of these because the timeline is so short, by proceeding in concert, it was just at the end of january a workshop, and i know commissioner ronen had tended. And the direction was, keep them all moving forward right now, knowing well have to make some tough decisions about what stays on the ballot. The other piece of news i want to give you there was recently a poll done that polled a combined measure, onecent sales tax, with housing and transportation, and fit them both together, and it looked like it hit the twothirds threshold for approval. If transit and housing got together and see if it made sense to go together for a joint bill or go their separate ways. We expect well bring back regular updates to this body in the next few months. Thank you. Chairman thank you. Commissioner ronen . Yes. I just wanted to add or clarify marias comments about the poll. Yes, there was a poll that we saw the answers to without the questions for them, showing over twothirds for a onecent sales increase for a combined housing transportation measure. But im very skeptical of seeing the pol without poll witt seeing the actually questions. When i tried to drill down on the questions, the question was avoided and avoided and avoided until i finally got them to answer that they were asking sort of in a vacuum whether or not the regions voters wanted to see Traffic Congestion improved or wanted to see more affordable housing. It wasnt in relation to would you be willing to pay . I think the polls presented a falsely rosy picture for a very aggressive tax. I want us to remain extremely skeptical about that. And i dont think were alone in our skepticism. Chairman isnt the entire document a Public Record . We were not given the entire poll. We were given pieces of it. I believe, chair peskin, it was a private poll, but ill see if theyve released it. Chairman it seems like the right thing to do. All right. Are there any speakers on item 5 . I have one speaker card from ian griffith of the seamless bay area. Some decostus, youre up there, go ahead. Come on up, ian. Good morning, my name is ian griffith, and i wanted to come here today and introduce myself and offer to continue to work with the board of supervisors, as well as staff, on the details because the devil is in the details of this proposed legislation, ab2057. Seamless bay area, were a nonprofit group. Were about two years old, a lot of transportation professionals and advocates who want to see a better transportation system. We want to see a more riderfriendly system that will, over the course of the next several decades, substantively approve the system and make it more humancentered. This is a can weve been kicking down the road for decades, avoiding this topic of how our governance affects the outcomes of our transit to deliver services that are competitive with driving. Were stuck with 12 transit mode share regionally, and it is much higher in San Francisco, but so many people in our region and commuting across county boundaries. This is something that the city of San Francisco must work in combination with our regional and transit agencies to address. We have been as discussed, this is just a spot bill at the moment, and one of the reasons for that is because were continuing to get feedback from c. P. A. S and transit agencies to ensure somewhere e a bill thawe havea g what we want to achieve. I look forward to coming back to this group in the coming months, we more details, as well as with hopefully a resolution supporting a policy direction of the seamless semisystem,p this is, and thisa petition signed by over 1500 individuals. And we hope that the city of San Francisco will be the next city to endorse this resolution. Thank you very much. Chairman thank you, mr. Griffith. Next speaker . So we had two speakers here, each one speak about so many issues. And in order to understand the issues that impact us on a regional basis, we need to have the right people represent us in sacramento. We know a person like scott weiner has not done justice to us. But we can, through our local agencies here, have our seniors and others who are interested, just like the speaker before me spoke, to go to sacramento so that those representatives can hear us out. Were not paying attention, really to the elder population, regionalwise, by making it easier on them. Theyre making it very difficult on them. I know that because ive tried it out. And it is not really taking the a. C. Or the muni it is, like, what if you take the ferry . And two days ago, or three days ago, you could take the ferry, say, to oakland, and then there were high winds, and the ferry was not operable, so you had to take a. C. Transit, and if youre a senior, you pay so much money it is like a joke. [buzzer] so we need to study this by doing a needs assessment. What we have here is we pay consultants to come and tell us whatever they say about the legislation. But we need representation from the people. Thats the key thing. Thats the democracy. When the representatives hear it from the people and not from a consultant. Thank you very much. Chairman thank you. Are there any other members of the public on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And is there a motion to move the positions that mr. Watts described . Made by commissioner mar, seconded my commissioner manhandle men, anmand del men. E. And we have a different house roll call. [roll call] we have first approval. Chairman the next item, please. Item 6, approve the 2020 state and legislative program. This is an action item. Good morning. Amber grabb with the transportation a authority. This is an item you see every year, goals and strategies to guide our goals for the year. This is general goals and strategies. So, um, the specific themes that we anticipate here this year at the state level, we dont expect any new transportation revenue measures. However, we will work to find ways to better align existing programs with San Franciscos priorities and policies. One exciting bit of news, with respect to vision zero, the state recently released its final report from its zero traffic fatalities taskforce, and it did include recommendations for two key areas. The first giving local jurisdiction to approve their own speed limits, something that has been restricted by the state for a long time. The second, recommending enforcement methods that included automated speed enforcement. So both of these are things that as a city were really excited to see legislation hopefully move forward this year on both of those topics. Another effort at the state level will be engaging in efforts to regulate emerging mobility and new transportation technologies, so things like lyft and uber and Autonomous Vehicles in prior years, we had a goal advocating for policy that ensure safety, equity, and accessability, and ensure local access to data. Similarly, were also participating with s. F. M. T. A. On rulemaking, in particular with the calgary humancalifornia p. U. C. ,h respect to Autonomous Vehicles, as well as practical functionality about how theyre operating on our roads. And well report back to you on those items. With respect to the lumbar cricket street, Governor Newsom vetoed our legislation that would have implemented or given us authorization to approve a Reservation Program on that part of the street. The governors message was clear about not wanting to see fees as part of the reservation system. So we are working with his office in exploring the possibility of a nofee Reservation Program. So well come back to you with a report on that once we finish our study. As mark said, we expect housing to again be a major focus of the legislature and the governor this year. We do anticipate Something Like sb50 to come back, but also other measures that will get new revenues for housing, as well as streamlining of the process of providing us housing. So we did take to heart the amendments that this body requested in december, and well be working with the senator and other legislators to try to advance those amendments, alongside any of the new legislation. As maria said, there are two spot bills on bay area legislation, and well be working closely on the seamless mobility and the new regional transportation as the spot bills are more flushed out. At the federal level, hopefully the biggest opportunity is the upcoming reauthorization of the federal transportation bill, or the fast act. I would give this about a 99. 99 likelihood of not going anywhere this year until after the election. However, there is work being done behind the scenes to kind of craft what that might look like next year. And were focused on either maintaining or increasing funding for transportation, and in particular, funding for transit. Something that is potentially moving forward because there is bipartisan work being done, is around what is the federal governments role with respect to emerging mobility and Autonomous Vehicles . Basically, what role should they play . Similar to the state level, well be focused on advocating to maintain local and state regulatory roles. Things like enforcing safety on local streets, as well as mandating access to data to ensure safety equity and accessability. With that, im happy to answer any questions you have. Chairman any questions for ms. Grabb . Commissioner preston . Thanks. Just on the anticipated legislation around speed limits, just curious if we know who is going to author that, and, also, in a bestcase scenario, when that would assuming that passed, are we looking at something that would take affect next january . Or is there any chance that would be an urgency bill to take affect sooner . The report literally just came out last week. So right now we dont have wo much in the way of if it will be moving it forward, who will be moving it forward. But we know there is interest by many jurisdictions across the state. As soon as we have more details, well bring it forward because i know it is something s. F. M. T. A. And other city agencies are very interested in in helping with the vision zero goals. Do we know if there is opposition from other jurisdictions . There was a lot of concerns through the taskforce, which is why they convened it, to try to get some resolution and agreement. I havent specifically heard of opposition, but hopefully that process, the fact that the recommendations did include it, that there has been some kind of resolution, or at least agreement, reached by parties who opposed it in the past. Thank you. Chairman are there any members of the public who would like to testify on item number 6 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Is there a motion to approve the 2020 state and federal legislative program made by commissioner mandelman and seconded by commissioner yee. And we have a different house roll call, please. [roll call] we have first approval. Chairman next item please. Item 7. This is an action item. Chairman m ms. Lions, good morning. Im kaley lions with the transportation authority, here to present seven requests. This month, all requests came from the s. F. M. T. A. The first is for the bridge reconstruction. This is a 1 million request to upgrade the overhead context system that provides electrical power to the light rail line as it crosses the creek between moran and cargo streets. This is part of a larger public works project to rehab the bridge. This project will increase transit reliability and reduce maintenance and take advantage of opportunities for construction coordination. I did want to call out there will be a necessary bridge shutdown for two to three months. Well know more about the timeline for that once the contractor is brought on board, which is expected for this summer. And we have included a deliverable, where m. T. A. Will provide us with a detailed plan for what happens during that shutdown phase, and that will include alternative bus service. And then we have five signalsrelated projects. The first sa 2. 3 million request for transit signal priority. This will replace aging devices or install new devices where they were not installed last time, likely due to construction at intersections. This is important because it improves Vehicle Management and travel time reliability and communication among the Traffic Signals. This request will fund between 40 and 200 signalized intersections, so you can see there is a wide variation in the costs, and well know more once the sites are further evaluated. And then we have a 220,000 request to upgrade traffic signs. These are Pedestrian Crossing signs, school ahead crossing signs, and the street name signs. And this will fund over 700 signs over 500 intersections throughout the city. The locations were identified through m. T. A. s sign shop Inventory Data base for signs that were installed in 2005 or earlier. And the list of locations begins on page 30 of your enclosure to this item. And then we have a 330,000 request to replace traffic signal hardware. So this helps to ensure that they are in a state of good repair. This project will replace accessible pedestrian signals at eight locations, and traffic cabinets at eight intersections along oak and selk street. And the data base, as well, that tracks the age of signals. And then we have a 330,000 request for traffic signal visibility upgrades. This is where there are existing signals already and theyre being upgraded from eight inches to 12 inches to improve safety and visibility, and this will be implemented at about 15 prioritized locations. And that list is on page 64 of the enclosure. And then we have a larger signal design contract request for 600,000, and this is for major signalrelated upgrades at 19 locations. Those locations are on page 73 of the enclosure. And upgrades will include new pedestrian signals, accessible pedestrian signals, new curb ramps where they dont exist now, and then replacement of aging infrastructure. And locations were prioritized based on collision history, traffic volume, benefits to roadway users, and proximity to schools. And the final request is a 1 million request for the schools engineering project. This is part of the safe routes to school program, and it includes planning, disciple, and construction of three different engineeringrelated pieces. So there is the Traffic Operations program for new and upgraded signage and curb markings at 35 school sites, School Loading zone traffic calming, which implements measures on up to 15 residential streets, and a school walk program, which will identify safety improvements at up to pfife schoolsfiveschools. And it is quick to implement Infrastructure Improvements as well. And on page 88l 88 of your enclosure shows the schools that were selected in the previous cycle for improvements and locations for this year are still being determined. And with that, we have project managers here for each of these, and theyre happy to answer any questions. Chairman thank you, ms. Lions. Commissioner haney . Thank you chair peskin, and thank you for this. This is all very muchneeded. On the traffic signal hardware visibility upgrades and traffic signal upgrades, i was surprised to not see many that focused on intersections in the tenderloin. Is there somebody who can speak to that, particular considering the level of need there, the number of collisions in the entire neighborhood, which i think is on high injury corridors . Hello, commissioner, my name is geraldine billion. With regards to your question regarding upgrades in the tenderloin, i believe there were some locations identified in our traffic signal visibility upgrade, and i know were considering other projects as well for signal upgrades in the tenderloi tenderloin. Chairman do you know which of these will be in the tenderloin . Um. If you give me a second to look at the list. So, like, for example, on, i believe page 64, for the traffic signal visibility upgrades, we do have a list of over 48 intersections that weve that were considering for this upgrade project. At this point, we are coming in for the allocation for this year. So we will probably be selecting about 15 intersections from this list. And these locations have been selected based on looking at collision history, of locations where there has been an history, in particular, of a pattern of rightangle collisions, and we have an opportunity here we havent quite finalized which locations to select, and we could potentially public locations from the tenderloin from this list. And if there are other locations, we could also consider that as well. That are not on this list. Chairman commissioner fewer . Thank you very much. On that same note, of course im looking at my district, and there are very few traffic upgrades in my district. So, im wondering, should we would it be helpful if we were to point out some intersections that could use some upgrades . We certainly could do that. I would point out, as well, in addition to the upgrade projects that were bringing up today, we do have some other projects that are under design and are further along in the process in terms of implementation. Okay. Because i think it would be nice to coordinate it also with we are doing in traffic calming meetings, actually, on our highinjury corridors, so it would be nice to coordinate that together. Thanks. Chairman seeing no other comments from members, is there any Public Comment on this item . I would like to talk about san bruno avenue, where we have up to 16 years some traffic lights, and im looking at maybe mentioning to the people who are in charge of this, and the experts are here, that they should revisit the traffic lights there and see whether theyre functional. For example, you have one traffic light for the children, where every time the children gather to cross, they have to press a button, and the traffic doesnt stop because theyre not used to those traffic lights. They are not the traffic lights that you know of, you know, the bigger ones. It is, like, horizontal flashlights, and the traffic just goes on. So if that could be addressed. The other thing is, by the walgreens and i know our supervisors should be doing this, but when somebody else has to come in and tell you what to do tt the walgreens is a regular traffic light that is there for so long that there is a traffic backup. So what is the use of having a traffic light when it causes congestion. [buzzer] so lots of money is spent, maybe a quarter Million Dollars or more, to put up traffic lights, but then there is no evaluation done after it is put up. And thats what happens with our socalled experts. They do something but they dont follow up. Just like legislation that you pass, and then you all have to follow up and get some input. Thank you very much. [buzzer] chairman thank you. Next speaker. Good morning, chair peskin and commissioners. My nak name is jody medirez, and im with walk San Francisco. I want to put my support in for signal and signal upgrades. They are not a sexy item, but they are lifersavers, particularly for pedestrians. I want to echo supervisor haneys comments, in neighborhoods like the tenderloin, where 100 are on the highinjury network. And Traffic Signals are so old, they cant do simple things like create scarmbles. I do ask 6 million is a drop in the bucket. We need to be looking at how we can start investing more in Traffic Signals. Like i said, they are not sexy, but theyre known, simple devices that not only help pedestrians, but also people however theyre traveling around the city. Definitely think about prioritization. If were not prioritizing those neighborhoods who havent done any investment in areas that havent done any in 40, 50 years it is something we need to start asking. And as partners in the safe rides to school program, i do support this 1 million investment. Again, i ask the question is that enough . Should we be investing more . They are going to be doing a handful of changes with this 1million, and this is our most vulnerable. How are we looking to protect our most vulnerable in San Francisco. Thank you. Chairman seeing no other members owner the Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. Is there a motion to allocate the prop k funds made by commissioner mandelman, seconded by commissioner pres tin. On that item, a roll call, please. [roll call] we have first approval. Chairman next item. Item 8, adopt fiscal year 2020 21, Transportation Fund for clean air. This is an action item. Chairman mr. Picford . Good morning. It reduces motor emissions and improve air quality. It is collected by the d. M. V. By all vehicles in the bay area. 40 of managed by the counties with s. F. M. T. A. Administering the program. As such, the programs are between 700,000 and 800,000 annually. A recap of last years program, we funded some d. C. Pass charges for electric vehicles at publicly accessible locations. Bart early bird routes, and they run before the rail service begins, and to plan, design, and install 1300 bicycle racks. And we recommended funding less than the requested amount due to our limited funds available. So in the coming fiscal year, we expect to have at least 730,000 in t. F. C. A. Funds available. They require each of the county Program Managers to adopt local expenditure criteria, and thats the item before you. Eligible projects are bike facilities, infrastructure, and ridesharing, which covers things like shuttles and transit incentives. We typically fund four to eight projects a year. And in past years, we funded a really diverse range of projects, including the aforementioned items. And even building clipper availabilities, and student i. D. S to fas statfacilitate bart recommendations. So for this yearrs were not proposing any changes to the local expenditure criteria. We have prioritized nonvehicle projects, which is our top priority in San Francisco. And our local criteria have also prioritized costeffectiveness, and vehicle emissions reductions, and consideration of project readiness, Program Diversity and past delivery track record. Last year the board approved three additional criteria community is support, benefiting communities of concern, and for projects where there is a nonpublic sponsor, which is eligible in vehicles, investment from that nonpublic entity. Finally, here is our proposed schedule for this years funding cycle. With the adoption of the local expenditure criteria, we expect to release the projects by march 6th, and then after reviewing and evaluating, well bring our recommendations to the board. With that i can take any questions. Chairman commissioner walton . Thank you, chair peskin. Can you go back to slide six, please . Letsseekers whic lets seee was that . The project types slide . So we talk about alternativefuel vehicles and infrastructure, what types of projects fall under that . So its anything that is either a vehicle or infrastructure, were talking about chargers. This program can fund direct purchase of the vehicles that we have funded, and we have funded some hybrid sedans that s. F. M. T. A. Uses, and weve funded incentives for taxis that provide a little increment to encourage taxi owners to buy hybrid or electric vehicles, instead of a gas vehiclement and weve funded electric vehicle chargers. Through the chair, knowing that the Auto Industry has several different types of electrical vehicles with several types of chargers, how do we determine what chargers go where . Thats a great question, and so we last year we had maybe it was two years ago we had pretty robust discussion with a private company about how they would go about doing that. So they provided some information on what they look for, including availability of power, which is a big consideration. Because it can be very expensive to bring a highcapacity power to a certain site. But i think more broadly, where we locate in the city, we also adviced them to be if there is a location that has power and other things im more so talking about how do we prioritize what vehicle chargers are going to be there. Because all of the chargers are different for the vehicles. What determines what vehicle actually gets to have a charger station in the area . Literally what kind of plug . Why would we put a tesla there or why so, um, im not a super expert on this, but my understanding is the chargers we have funded are industry standard, so it could charge different brands of car. We have not funded chargers that are specific to a certain type of vehicle. Got it. Because i was under the impression that these things were different, or at least some were different. The only one i know about is i know tesla has their own chargers. We havent funded anything like that. Thank you. [please stand by] the development the developer is in charge of that project. And the project in front of you right now for this item is the west side bridges. The reason i wanted to show this is because i wanted to make sure you understand all the different types of improvements that are ongoing. What we need to do is make sure south gate road is complete and makala road is complete, and then, we can close the west part of the island to build the bridges project. Its estimated to be 100 million in cost, funded by the seismic retrofit and the prop k seismic retrofit. We intend to Start Construction in 2022. This just shows another artists rendering of the bridges in play. Were moving the road way into the hillside and building retaining wall structures. The screen in front of you shows the, in essence, the p. D. A. S need to be executed by next month, march of 2020. Its a Firm Commitment to scope, schedule and delivery of the project. Were nearing the end of the proposition 1b seismic retrofit programs, so the c. T. C. Wants to make sure we fi fulfill our contract. Any questions there . Chair peskin no questions from members. Okay. Item 10, thank you. This is for continued operations and maintenance and new maintenance for what were calling vista pier e2. Quite a nice space weve set up for the pedestrian and bicyclists on the island as well as folks coming from the east bay. I just want to give this as lower of a location map. What you see in the right hand corner is what we refer to as pier e2. When caltrans demolished the old bay bridge, they decided to go ahead and retrofit that into a pedestrian space. Were excited to bring some excepts forward in spring of this year. Cant wait for the Ferry Terminal. We think this is going to be important in getting bicycles and pedestrians all the way to the Ferry Terminal in the fewture. This is an artists rendering of the vista point at pier e2. The pier positions been refigured, and its planned to be open later this spring. And the item in front of you is to go ahead and in essence since were going to go ahead and reconstruct south gate, were also going to go ahead and put a arrive on the histor historic torpedo building, so were requesting authorization for the executive director to execute amendment number five to the existing m. O. A. With tida. Chair peskin thank you. Is there any Public Comment on these two comments . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel]. Chair peskin is there a motion to authorize the executive director to execute the eight agreements and amend number 5 execute amendment number 5 with tida . Motions made by commissioner haney and seconded by commissioner yee, and we will do that same house, same call. Gav [gave [gavel]. Chair peskin next item, please.

So thanks, linda, for your tireless work on this. Yeah, lets give it up one more time for linda. [applause and cheering] through all of your efforts, it was a really successful year. We raised over 1. 23million in the 2019 campaign. Congratulations to everyone. [applause and cheering] and this shows that San Francisco has a big heart, and all of the departments is really fun looking through the recognition part of this and the achievements, and how many departments really elevated their game from last year, and more donors and bigger dollar figures, so really helping us to move forward and show what an incredible City Employee population we have that are so committed to our local communities and our broader communities in helping those in need. Im really proud of what you all have done, and the city has a lot to be thankful for with all of you leading this effort. I thought there was a lot of Great Success this year as well in the process. Great thanks to the Controllers Office, the department of technology, the airport staff team a lot of great improvements this year around the process. I think one of the most notable is getting rid of that 11 administrative charge on the donors part. Lets hear it for that. [applause and cheering] thats so important. Everything that we can do for these charities in need, and 1 i 11 is a huge amount, and it goes right to these charities and serves the people that really need it most. That was a great achievement. And the achievements in technology, and continuing to make it such an easy process for our employees to donate, and even a onetouch donation. Just do what you do last year and press that button. [applause and cheering] yeah. Its fantastic. And virtual trainings and giving all of these resources to all of you to help you do your job better in supporting this campaign. And having the ability to track our successes as the campaign rolled along. So, again, we all you all have a lot to be proud of with the achievements this year. And thank you for your tireless efforts supporting this really important initiative. It is n my honor and privilege to introduce our mayor, lo london breed, and she is committed to solving the most important issues around homelessness, around housing, around the environment. Were so fortunate to have her as our leader. And were so pleased to have her here today to recognize all of your incredible work. Please, lets welcome our mayor, london m. Breed [applause and cheering] i missed a word. Mayor thank you. First of all, let me start by saying i appreciate the hard work that so many of you do in your various departments throughout San Francisco. Since ive become mayor, ive spent a lot of time visiting different departments, having discussions with City Employees, because i think it is important that you feel appreciated and valued. Because all of the things that we talk about that we want to accomplish here in the city are the things that you actually make happen. And so we really appreciate that sand the facthat, and thefact that we are celebrating today, just you actually going even a step further to coordinate efforts to provide contributions to some amazing organizations in San Francisco just demonstrates how significant you are to this city, not just because of the work that you do, but because how you give your time, your resources to others in order to help make sure that San Francisco is a great city, and that we are thriving. So im really excited to be here today because i wanted to express my appreciation for the work that gets done. And im so glad that this lunch, which is, i know, a very small token of appreciation, but this lunch is really about coming together and breaking bread and spending time with one another, with people who are the leaders in these efforts to provide the opportunities that have made a difference in so many incredible organizations. I have personal interactions with many of these organizations you have agreed to contribute to, including the boys and girls club, and homeless prenatal, and the work that theyre doing, gelani house, which will provide a place for mothers who are experiencing homelessness to have a safe place to live as they go through the process of giving birth. It is just incredible what youve been able to do. The bay area Law Enforcement assistance fund, and the San Francisco Foster Youth Fund so many great initiatives. So i just wanted to make sure that i expressed my appreciation. Organizations like these, we know, have a direct impact on changing and saving lives. And as we also go through this process, we know that it is not easy. It is a click of a button, but it is not just a click of a button it is a lot of people doing work that make it easy for people to participate. Thank you to our lead partner, as well as the Asian Pacific fund, americas best local charities, earth share california, and Global Impact for your work in helping in this particular effort. And we noticed that we saw a huge increase from departments i dont know if there is a competition going on but the office of Community Investment and infrastructure and the sheriffs department, they stepped their game up this year. [applause and cheering] mayor and while we know the department of technology thank you, linda and the airport contributed the most, maybe because the airport has the most employees, but, nevertheless, they did an incredible job and every dollar is appreciated. I really want to thank the department that served on Steering Committee to help continue to keep this Program Going and to get more employees interested in tributeing, the airportin contributing, the airport, the Police Department, the Public Utilities commission, Retirement Services, and the sheriffs department. We want to thank all of you, all of the captains, for your leadership in, i know what it is probably to your fellow employees, it may feel like youre shaking them down for a contribution but it is for a good cause. And your aggressiveness has led to not only the 1. 2 million that ivor mentioned this past year, but over the past two years, over 2 million and contributions to programs that serve so many people in this city. So thank you for your service. And, also, i want to take this opportunity to present the combined Charities Campaign leadership award. This award is for someone that you all know and love, someone who has been spearheading the work of the combined Charities Campaign, someone who has made it their mission to make sure that we are supporting some incredible organizations, and that it does make a difference. This years combined charities awardwinner is linda young. [applause and cheering] mayor now, we all know that linda doesnt do it for recognition. She does it because she cares about the work, like all of you do. And thats why were here today, just to celebrate so many wonderful people who are doing so much for others in order to make our city and our world a better place. It does make a difference in so many peoples lives, and so we are truly grateful. Thank you, linda, for your hard work because we know it is not easy, and we know you dont always get sometimes the support or the return phone calls when youre reaching out. But here is a testament, all of these people are a testament to your hard work and commitment to the combined Charities Program that has done so much to support so many amazing organizations in San Francisco. Congratulations. [applause and cheering] [laughter] mayor thank you all. Enjoy your lunch break. And ill see you back at work shortly. [applause and cheering] thank you, mayor breed. I think you all share my feeling, which is it is so amazing having a Strong Female leader at the top, who shows us every day how we can conduct ourselves as public servants, and to always give back. And just briefly, i give back because i am so fortunate to work for the city and county of San Francisco, that i get to work for the airport. And i get to work with people like you every day. So for me, its just an honor. And i thank you for all of the hard work you put into this campaign. So now im going to put on my other hat, okay. So as the combined charities chair, you know, we continued have done it without all of your help. So at this time, i would like to thank some of the organizations that help sponsor it. Municipal executives associations, if you could please stand. [applause and cheering] the San Francisco federal credit union. [applause and cheering] and the sheriffs manager and supervisors association. [applause and cheering] so our city departments are our strongest partners in this campaign. So the Mayors Office, the City Administrators Office, city hall events, the departmen department of real estate, they all help us coordinate these events and make it happen. The controllers Payroll Division if christie is here, could she please stand . [applause and cheering] every time we run these compaigns, we think about how to make it better and easier for people. And she, literally her staff has taken all of the forms and she keys it in and makes sure that the proper deductions are taken out of our employees paychecks. The department of technology, we couldnt have done it without linda and team, because you guys made the oricle i am authentification, which meant people knew when they were donating, that it was secure. So i want to thank her and her team. [applause and cheering] and so for all of the devoted captains and coordinators from each of your departments, you guys went above and beyond, and we thank you for that. So we knew that the campaign was being advertised across the city. We had our transit operators at the m. T. A. , we had people who were patrolling the air field talking about the campaign. And youre the ones who really got the word out. The Retiree Services sent nearly 30,000 letters out to their retirees. Theyre our former colleagues, and even though theyre retired, theyre part of our family. So we thank the Retirement Services for that. Our captains at public works continue to be engaged year in and year out, and they are advocates for our campaign. At the department of public health, we found a new gem, and he literally went around and talked about the campaign. He was not shy about going up to the departments and going, i think we can do more. And so he has really revolutionized and talked a lot among this colleagues there, and so we welcome his contribution. And, again, the City Administrators Office and Human Services agency, they took each of those new tools and data points that we gave them, and every week they went out and tried to get more contributions. In the sheriffs department, department of technology, shared countless ideas about how they were able to increase contributions, and we shared that with all city departments. So at the end of the day, you know, all of this couldnt have happened also without the contributions. So departments donated things for our raffles. We had local vendors who donated prizes. We that, i want to thank rec and park, i want to thank the sheriffs department, Health Services system, Public Utility Commission and all of the other departments that contributed. Lastly, i want to talk about all of the department heads.
