I wanted to complete introduce well have mark up to talk about the matrix and tom of the sfmta and megan of the Public Health department will be also talking about more about the legal 343 addendum bill and wanted to also note i believe the clerk has circulated a revised staff proposal for the resolutions we are now presenting e proposing to rerise the position on the appointment 6 to have a bill to reduce the voters threshold for the transportation measures of percent and recommending that to a watch position and in light of the new transportation 2045 will be named to the more comprehensively look at the citys strategies for transportation so with that, ill introduce mark and a a couple of commissioners would you like to wait until auditors or commissioner yee.

With that, i conclude my presentation. Thank you, mr. Watts any questions for mr. Watts commissioner cohen. Thank you very much good morning, colleagues and good afternoon mr. Watts a question had is the motivation in reducing penalties. Im told by the office that theyve done that transportation spfltsd have analyzed that and found it that it is not as dangerous in view the professionals as others and the speeds the flow of traffic i think that i dont fully have a grasp it is a foreign concept to me. So where is the portion of this proposal. In other parts. Not emerged built in for over a month and well see the fact sheets emerging now that the lines for other spots and other bills to move forward mass been reached well see more details who is supporting it i believe that previous legislation in the area did have some advocates in the bicycle realm im not positive. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, commissioners and before we hear from tom maguire and the sfmta i want to acknowledge the work of commissioner and commissioner yee yesterday in the Land Use Committee we heard a resolution in support of ab 342 the pilot a s e and 1230bd well be voting on this if both bodies thank you, thank you supervisor yee im proud to be a cosponsored and with that, do you want to say a few words commissioner low are go go to mr. Maguire on the ab 342. Yes. Id like to make some comments before we bring up tom maguire is that okay. Commissioners you know youve heard this story already and ill repeat it again that it wasnt that long ago that the city adopted a vision zero to address the real emergency of what weve been seeing in terms of fatalities and serious injury by collisions of cars to pedestrians and bicyclists and something that i was brought to awareness of this concept of vision zero went to a conference in 2014 to and i learned a lot of things about what we can and cannot do and one of the most important things ive learned in regards to a tool that can really help us address our vision to get to zero fatalities by 2024 was the notation of having automated Speed Enforcement with cameras it is been practiced by many locations and increased three years ago to more new locates will one and 42 nationally and it is what i heard 3 years ago has been reinforced by the studies of effectiveness when you talk about washington, d. C. Implementing that and having a reduction of 70 percent fatalities in new york reporting that violations dropped by 59 percent per month in my mind it should be in everybodys mind support this system for us not only in San Francisco but hopefully throughout california something we cant control today in regards to implementing such a program feeds to be done at the state level it is controlled by the state level in terms of the streets and but 12 unfortunately, we have an opportunity to be state legislation that is allowing that will allow San Francisco and san jose to pilot tests the system in california and it is going through legislation right now that through ab 342 our own smushl is sporpt that and i think one of the reasons he is sponsoring that with the voted on vision zero and in 2014 he other side what the necessity of trying to get every two things in our hands to deal with the fatalities i want to say that theres been a lot of support for this bill we see the Mayors Office not only in San Francisco but in san jose the police chief chief William Scott and funded with the Public Health department and a host of a whole bunch of nonprofits have including the bcdc and the city sro collective and on and on i know that before you you the list a huge list of supporters that are getting behind this and in fact, there are 5 or 6 people from the bay area families for safe streets and individuals part of this group that was formed recently up in sacramento testifying to try to get that bill passed one i think maybe here today to purchase to support this support us having going up to sacramento and supporting it what do you call it lobbyists so i want to say again in 2014 we passed vision zero coauthored by commissioners supervisor jane kim and myself and supervisor mar and it was passed unanimously in 2016 in january we realized we needed to do something to push accountant harder in getting this to into our hands so again, we passed this resolution unanimously im proud in this challenge to urge state legislation to allow for this to happen in San Francisco and here we are in 2017 again, we are in a position to support something we wanted in the city to have a valuable tool so were going to hear a lot of speakers today and im glad theyre here this is an important issue for us in San Francisco and hope that in 2017 we will not only the ta but on the board of supervisors that all this will be unanimously support this passage of a ab 342 so i made this speech several times i i dont want to go on and on but it is important i hope well stand together on this. Thank you commissioner yee commissioner ronen. Thank you. I just wanted to start out by thanking commissioner yee for taking a leadership roll on implementing the parts of vision zero and strategies to stop the thirty year study it is heartbreaking to seeing our emotions behind it is moving thank you thank you for all your hard work and i originally had concerns about this bill for two reasons first you know in this surveillance world that we live in everyday new refused of ways were being watched through the other Smart Devices in the community another you know round of cameras watching every move in society it is the way we want to that was my first concern and the second southern another fine for residents of San Francisco who are having such a hard time living in the most expensive city in the country and as a at the same time ill existed our Treasurers Office has created an connective justice unit to looking at the final side and try to reduce the numbers of ways were nick e line and dimming the folks those are my initial thoughts with this piece of legislation but i have to say i had a wonderful briefly last week with the mta the ta and walk sf and the Bicycle Coalition that was really educational and really calmed my concerns he understand there are amendments being ushg9 to address the privacy issue and the fact the cameras will only be recording the license plate but no people or other aspects of the vehicle or people walking on the streets and then the way in which the data will be collected and shared is going to be very streamlined and protected these are the amendments i want to see with that bill and will calm my concerns secondly, amendments worked a graduated fee based on income i like that idea and following up on commissioner cohens questions about sb 493 perhaps there could be a similar amendment to this bill so the economic hit on each individual feels the same based on one hundred dollars to one person is nothing but might make a difference to another whether there is food on table im harden and excited to hear those are considered by the Assembly Member ill be supporting and i see Assembly Member staffer in the audience smiling ill be supporting this item before the ta and the board and such want to thank everyone for being thoughtful implementing and pushing this legislation to make sure that we are doing everything we can to prevent further pedestrian deaths on the second street. Thank you commissioner ronen and commissioner fewer. Yes. I want to thank commissioner yee and commissioner ronen so for bringing this forward and i will be supporting it today, i wanted to caution the board there is no deterrent for vehicle speeds like actually getting a ticket from a police ill say my husband is a traffic cop for 9 years no deterrent as that when our actually stopped so this is in the placement of this is in addition to and caution also my colleagues it, it is a very powerful tool when the Police Officers do a moving violation it is serious and expensive and also effects our driving record it is big and actual should be on many of the moving violation thank you, supervisors and i just wanted to also thank you for work on these amendments. Thank you, commissioner commissioner safai. Thank you chair first of all, thank you commissioner yee for your leadership on this this is an extremely, extremely important piece of legislation and thank you to assemblyman chiu for casing this at the state level cant come fast enough in any district a high injury corridor this past week a 12 struck in the crosswalk fortunately shes okay but had traffic fatalities two weeks ago between Mission Street between silver and bosworth if we had those there this is a high injury corridor the cars speed back and forth between Bernal Heights and the excelsior and if it had been there this life might have been satisfied im proud to be a korea and thank you for your leadership at the state level by assemblyman chiu so im in full support of this and agree with commissioner fewer said that there is nothing that can replace an officer but an exchange of an officer will reduce the staves show in states across the country a magnificent reduction in traffic fatalities. Thank you commissioner breed. Thank you i wanted to let you all know that in the state committee i sit as a representative for the board i voted against this particular legislation supported by sxhoubl mostly because of my concerns about what impacts this might have on individuals whos cars theyre not necessarily driving we had discussions interest have been proposed amendments he know one of the things i definitely appreciate the fact this wouldnt necessary count as a point on someones record i cant imagine what weve had to deal with when cars are towed because their stolen no clear understanding of what is happened to their vehicle but yet they had significant toe fees we made corrections and fixed that with the toe system here in the city people let people use their cars all the time and to penalize those individual for something that Something Else has done i was concerned about that i think that as a challenge with a number of individuals and i do know that is really about avoiding fatalities and some of the challenges that we experience with bad behavior of drivers in the city i agree with supervisor there is no substitution by being pulled offer by the police and getting a ticket especially youre not driving continent with the rules of radio do that costs some of the facility issues we see on the streets everyday i voted against it today ill be voting for it in support of recommendation submitted to the ta today i appreciate also this is a Pilot Program and hope that the data shows after the 5 years that you know this helps to change barf in some ways. We definitely weve got a lot more work to do we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to change the behavior of drivers on the street and hopefully that will be a step in the right direction thank you. Thank you commissioner kim thank you chair i want to express my strong support for this stat bill and glad that assemblyman chiu will be porcelain this legislation the sfmta and along with walk sf and Bicycle Coalition have spent years trying to find support when we talk vision zero and enforcement and education and engineering one of the things that you know weve learned to the studies in other countries that are implement vision zero it that Speed Enforcement cameras were the number one, factor in getting to zero in countrys all over the world and slowing down is a way we can reduce the fatalities the graph that is showing how many pedestrians victims survive when hit at 40 and thirty Miles Per Hour and 80 mileperhour and reilly talking about how important speed is in is city of San Francisco we should expect the drivers to go slowly the 5 minutes you save by getting to that meeting on time or picking up someone is not worst of the life or serious injury of another individual and i think that while it will be great to have this sources for Police Officers you know on all the corners and inspections of San Francisco we know that this is not a reality and see sfpd has other priorities we want them to be funding their resources and time on similar to the red light cameras that limited use of Speed Enforcement cameras low slow down our drivers on the road and hopefully changing the cultural behavior to that will truly you know impact i think a number of deaths but judges. Importantly the number of serious death thank you commissioner yee youre leadership in the city and im glad our having a robust discussion about the aspects and concerns that you have i hope that the state has equally robust discussion we do for those individual that are low income so were not overly pencil liz the individuals versus others and also what we can do to make sure were protecting the privacy of our every time citizens and balancing the lives and safety here in San Francisco thank you. Thank you commissioner kim mr. Tom maguire there is not too much support run us through the committee slides. Thank you very much commissioners thank you for the opportunity to be here this morning and for your strong support were excited to be here to provide some more information regarding automated speed format and the ab 342 for the reasons our number one, state policy priority for vision zero my name is megan the director for the health and equitable and sustainability i cochair the task force and here with tom maguire the director of sustainable streets we have many members in the task force and in the audience today as we adjourn the task force to present on this item and have staff from the Mayors Office as well as assemblyman chius office our advocates here to make remarks motorist vehicle collisions are a leader of deaths as you may know a lot of attention theyre increasing approximately 40 thousand people are dying annually and 10 percent of those occur in california in San Francisco approximately thirty people are killed annually we know this is disproportionately effects people walking and seniors and low Income Community and communities people of color as you know vision zero is adopted in San Francisco in 2014 and San Francisco been a leader nationally on brought from sweden it is a change in our thinking werent to the traffic save that focuses not an individual behavior but on creating a safer Transportation System we know that people will make mistakes and how to create a safer system that protects people in the context and eliminating and reducing competitive speeding it core to that approach in addition to eliminating the fatality and reducing serious injuries is important for vision zero and our collaboration with the zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital weve found it 101 half of all are interesting more transportation injurys that is 5 hundred people approximately annually that are hospitalized with traffic injuries just disproportionately effects the seniors we recently estimated medical costs that are director medical costs for the serious injuries are 35 million and approximately, one third of the patient that are injured 75 percent of them are directly affected through the vision zero and the targets we can make an impact not only on south africa lives and improving the quality of life of people that are injured but on reducing the costs were here because speeding is really the major factor in who someone that seriously injured or killed and again, as 20 mileperhour we know that approximately 9 or 10 people will go by in living or 40 mileperhour 20 percent of walking will survive and so with that, im going to turn it over to tom to give more specification. Good morning, sir. Thank you so speeding excess speeding is an important factor in causing the fatalities in the streets thats why we have the automated Speed Enforcement bill that 1k3450ub8 addresses the time and behavior for the fatalities one and 42 communities across the country the results have been phenomenal in terms of reduction of spooeld e speeding and fatalities timing clashing are up nationally but down in automated Speed Enforcement it is a wonderful tool ab was written to address the excess speeding in 90s the 5 year podium for those citys allows us to have the cameras other than corridors with recent record of fatalities and injuries not the entire highway injuries just the most dangerous in the city and also defined as 10 million over the speed limit and finally while we as commissioner ronen said well continue to work on is privacy and equality issues not with the tickets but recivil rights capped at one dollars to send a message but didnt have a huge impact as huge an impact also want to say this is a bill designed to compliment and replace the Law Enforcement i appreciated the facing interaction nothing like a ticket from the sfpd officer but the automated speed improvement feels that is actually an extension rather than a replacement for the conditional staffing for poland and seattle nun have recorded reductions in the traffic instructions or Police Forces they see that an, an extension and, of course, the camera has the vantage of enforcing the rules impartially bans data folks were glad to have their support and it is not just transportation it is a wide range of organizations that who are really conditioners about concerned about the epidemic in San Francisco and San Jose City Council Unanimously supports this bill so really heartened by the comments were heard and, of course, grateful for the support from the board of supervisors gave us a year ago and look forward to your questions thank you. Any questions for tom maguire or ms. Were seeing none, oh, vice chair tilly chang. Thank you very much i know we had this hearing in Land Use Committee so a correction of information i thought was provided to me whether or not those cameras what about located along the corridors managed by caltrain the answer in land use it will not be located but it is different if you can confirm for us what the situation would be that would be great. Thank you for the opportunity for the to correct the record yesterday well not use this on state owned streets thats not correct this allows the cameras to be used on my surface street nonfreeway street in the city like the the only street excluded is 101 and 0280. Thank you very much thank you for putting that on the record i know we have the assemblyman chiu member jane if you want to say a few brief words followed by the Mayors Office and legislative affairs k5e republican. Good morning jen on behalf of the permit holder assemblyman chiu office i dont have to belabor the point you saw how it is so spelling need in San Francisco i do want to thank everyone for the comments and really thinking through this and we understand what a one hundred explores fine for a low income person in San Francisco and this is why we made the fee lower and one hundred dollars is a insignificant people not insignificant for me and you know were also sensitive to the fact that often the most burdened members of the communities are those who rely fully on walking and biking or transit those are the things those people are protected and given there is a balance here were absolutely committed to work with the state level and also just want to echo this bill is no the replacement for a real live officer that is simply gives San Francisco a san jose the flexibility and a new set of tools that with reduce speeding and cut down on serious traffic collisions and you know as a part of vision zero to eliminate the serious and other cloisz and Speed Enforcement will help us get there thank you for your time consideration and hope we can count on continued support by the board of supervisors and this body so thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning chair and commissioners my name is the correct of state and federal legislative affairs for the Mayors Office thank you for considering this bill and like to acknowledge all the work that our state department have made that vision zero practice but practice into a bill specifically the sfmta and stu green and tom maguire and others from the Police Department megan from the Public Health department and other vision zero stakeholder and walk sf and from the Bicycle Coalition and the ta and others working closely on this bill to reach the goal that the city set for itself in 02014 we must start the city injury and traffic collisions in San Francisco we know that is related to speed it is important we use all the tool in the tool box automated Speed Enforcement is a proven method to rows the excess speeding and deaths and injuries amended enforcement is no the new technology as tom mention it is currently used in one and 42 counties in the across the country and portland and seattle and directions of competitive speeding seeing reductions in collision as you may know the state law prevents us from using this tool 32 thank you to the assemblyman chiu for offering ab 3342 that changes the state law to allow San Francisco to have the opportunity to test this technology on the streets and then after 5 years to modify it as we based on the results of pilot we look forward to ahsha safai lives in San Francisco and appreciate our support for this bill.

Next the next series of projects are signals for the reconstruction projects the Design Projects include contractor 6040 at 9 locations citywide and locations in your packet argyle and upgrades will be the design phase of intersections between lake and turk. In this report actually on that item. Yeah. I know that commissioner breed has called a hearing often the prop a expenditures or maybe lack thereof are i only 12 million of that money has been spent and in as far as this request it supposed to leverage 5 hundred and plus prop a fund do you want to expand a little bit on why we are actually using prop a dollars if theyre not using the prop a dollars yet. Thats a great question i know i would followup with sfmta staff ultimately weve been working with sfmta staff on making sure that the expenditures from the prop k program are complimenting to the extent the general Obligation Bond program and consideration for moving expenditures off of prop k for example, and on to the general Obligation Bond i know that mta is looking at those costs so unless there is Small Business from the sfmta that wishes to talk about that i can followup. I know that commissioner london breed will be holding that in the government audit Oversight Committee in april. Thats right april. Okay. Thank you. For with that the heads up to the mta theyll have to start answering those questions. Commissioner fewer any questions i know that report is in the middle of her presentation if you want to jump in trolling. I can wait to the end of the presentation but if you want to direct something in the in my neighborhood lets do that now chair i see the 23 after planning neighborly planning in any neighborhood on 23 avenue im aau cutting aware of that street i know that imitating i live one block off that street i have not been briefed on this and the fact that is coming to us for authorization i have not been updated on the project is alarming and frankly it is somewhat irritating so especially because when i met with mta about the eight avenue they told me one on 23 i actually raised concerns of 23 avenue not an entrance to the park not a lot of traffic there on my block that is stop utilize not safe for bicyclists on 23 no light or entrance into the park and i know this is discuses with the previous supervisor but as im looking at the plan i have a lot of concerns about that and the fact i was not briefed or none talked about this the first time i saw this looking at the agenda im questioning that is severed from the page and brought back to the committee in two weeks thank you. Maam. Could i respond briefly i think what well do it help to facilitate a meeting with sfmta and your office if you wish or me directly and bring this by a, to the board next month. Ill appreciate that i just dont understand the analysis that went both those of us that lived area i myself for 33 years i noticed i know this intersection and street very well i have concerned about how it is developed quite frankly and other areas in any district no entrance to the park there are aerials meaning a traffic light it is safer access to those streets for pedestrian and bicyclists 23 avenue dont make sense in fact, this makes me question how these decisions are made and the amount of money that is allocated to a particular project like this without im a neighbor there and i walked that street for 20 or 3 two years now ive lived there so i i dont understand how this analysis came up to the mta this is what the needed on this block but open to a conversation i think my office is reaching out right now to mta about this thank you thank you and when we get to the actions we will make a motion to sever and the last of signal there are 3 construction phases that the sfmta is asking prop k for the 19th avenue to complete the updates of 5 of the 9 signals on 19th avenue that needs obtain upgrade this is going to be constrict through the ross more and the track replacement and the combined city 19th avenue large project and caltrain will be paying for the remaining 4 signals to renovate, upgrade those at the intersections that are planned and lets see and also for the sfmta requesting Additional Fund for covering costs over their higher than anticipated bids for two construction contract for contract 63 and were not there yet take care between california and 13 percent higher than than the estimates a limited number of contractors and increasing the perplexity of the signals being done and inflation and sfmta integrated these bids into the design phases for the other to signal projects and other future construction on track so with that, i can take any questions. Commissioner farrell. Thank you chair peskin to follow up perhaps ive been speaking with the wrong agency if it happens ill take it on the chin im looking at number 6 the Traffic Signals and commissioner fewer lives around the corner ive been asking the mta foreclose to 3 years to study that and look at it and im glad it is Going Forward if you include me and my office i have opinions suffered from the traffic mess that exists along argyle for the last 6 years i taco my kids to preschool ill ask Going Forward please include me in the process i want to be involved in that thanks for bringing it forward. I see a pattern emerging here and in all seriousness i think that youll have us have conversation issues with the staffing i note theyre trying to workout certainly in the corner of the city i represent we have tried to reenergizes communication between my office and more importantly the various of the community but as far as we are sitting here as the ta i think that is a very important thing for staff to understand and more me to understand as your new chair in every single one of those prop k allocations our staff has and i have an obligation to reach out to every district commissioner to make sure that theyre not being tangible spriepts it is kind of be extraordinary that the mta hadnt worked with the Richmond District supervisor or the supervisor from district 2 that means we have to redouble our effort if their not doing it and we have the power we can workout it. With that, is there any Public Comment on this item. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And is there a motion commissioner fewer or commissioner president loftus on behalf of to sever out the funds resulted to 23 made by commissioner fewer and seconded by commissioner kim colleagues, can we take that without objection . And on the item as amended a roll call. On item 9 commissioner breed commissioner cohen commissioner farrell commissioner fewer commissioner kim commissioner peskin commissioner ronen commissioner safai commissioner sheehy commissioner tang and commissioner yee the item is approved at the fdr next item. The 2017 Strategy Plan and 5 year prioritized projects this is an action item. Mr. Picking for the record. Hello, again prop was approved in 2010 that has a 10 vehicle fee the prop c sfashgs this proprogram a 5 million per year the prop a funds are divided two into the 2025 percent ration and has tackle benefits and to help to insure quick delivery the prop a required a Strategy Plan for a 5 year prioritized project for the funds are allocated were at the end of the 5 years for the 2012 weve been developing a 2017 to include the fiscal years 2017201820212022 with the autumn on projected revenues as well as cost savings from projects that you are recently completed we have received 22 plaques if 5 sponsor agency for double funds and evaluated the board prop aa criteria that has program can we and like a project can give the benefits like Pedestrian Safety benefits will improve one the highway injury locations through the walk sf first and followed up with the sponsors to seek Additional Information if necessary given the voter mandate with a high priority to projects ready to go and requested funding and the evaluation scores from the base of recommendations with each category beginning with the street repair were recommending fully fund all 4 public works to repave the streets a map at the end of the location we are not recommending fund for the 5 street repair location for a large portion of funding from a explosive federal Grant Program we felt this was two Bernie Madoff and recommending Holding Money back from a competitive call for projects in a year or two the port applied for fund in the year 3 with the Strategy Plan the fund will be available for that if we choose to reapply and the Pedestrian Safety category recommended 6 projects including the lighting portion of microscope and upper hayes and soma and the tenderloin where there are basements underneath the sidewalks that make that expensive to cut the curves and traffic signal signals on the high injury corridor hesitate think outside the box been subject in a planning effort and discussion and bulb out this is the second wave of design fund for turning some of the painting save zones in the city into concrete hold outs and at this point your category funds are running low in Pedestrian Safety were recommending the Pedestrian Safety around 17 and vermont part of gateway loop projects that will improve some of the green spaces around the freeway and partial funding the mta western edition implements that will enable construction of pedestrian lighting on one corridor where pedestrian will feel safer walking and transit that is the corridors finally lists we anticipate that ma collateral to the amount of funding necessary so they run out were not recommending funding any project that scored lower than the gateway you see that in the applications just breakdown the tables an illustration of what the existing painted save zones on the permit hold out rendering finally in the transit reliability improvement category were recommending funding the top projects that have considered the entire amount available the muni station will include the signage upgrades as well as lighting and agricultural improvements for phase one during the signage at all stations lighting and other improvements at two stations and phase two is the finally projects and the other projects were not recommending are in attachment 3 and this is an example of some of the lighting and signage that will be come up in the project and fernl the map and i can take any questions and the staff is here. Mr. Picking for the record to the construction of canopies over the downtown area bart station. We received an application that is in the works for some time and hundred thousand dollars for the ramps the project didnt score as high were not recommending funding. Thank you for that. Commissioner safai. Sorry my mike didnt work sometimes. Thank you just wanted to ask if you can you talk a little bit about about the Outer Mission project since ive not been briefed and the other thing it is misleading part of the it is outer mists in district 9 and rolls into the excelsior so if you could use proper neighborhood language that would be helpful and the mta the same kind of confusion. I apologize for that. No thats okay. Can you can you talk about that and when the timing is planning on being implemented and when we can expect to see these improvements. Sure that is a pavement project that q funding during the end of the 5 year period expected to be open for use in the Second Quarter of 2022 and will be do pavement renovation with the curve ramps and that kind of thing on mission from the marina to geneva avenue. You said that will help in 2022. That is when it is completed and when will that given. The construction is scheduled to start in 2021. 2021 . Correct can someone from our staff or mta come and brief our office we know exactly with the plan is and when that begins and what that looks like. Certainly that also be public works who is working in conjunction with the sfmta. They thousand dollars i didnt do this was on hold until muni came up with a plan sounds like there is confusion within the ta and mta and dpw i was briefly by the dpw yesterday. Maam. If i may respond this was an action for the Program Funds years this Programs Fund for fiscal year 20212022 after the design has been completed the plan will be to do the paving as part of this contract so this the mta to be working with our office on the muni forward. Whos responsibility to i know there is a proposed said to us yesterday, i met with the sfmta 17 things they can choose from the muni forward whose responsibility you allocate the money. One of the most important functions of the ta the fact that given we hold various purse stinks are are able to make the outcomes that we and our constituents are seeking and so i get a little bit nervous about allocating fund in 2021 and doing a change the 5 major prioritization plan when individual members have not been briefed by the requesting agencies and our staff that is not no one emerging marvin but a pattern that is making me very unhappy there has been youre the third member of this body in 10 minutes to come up with the same grip it is entirely liability and starting to piss me off with that, im going to turn it over to staff. So now question who responsibility it it to come in and give us the memo of options woke up choose from youre asking us to allocate the money without scope that is designed at a later date. If i can clarify it is what in the land of funding and transportation we consider a programming action not allocating the fund all the agencies need to return before you like i presented at the actual allocation action they can dpw will not be coming before fiscal year 2021, rud a Small Program it theyll be coming in sometime in fiscal year 2021, 2022 are allocation tellers with that said, not any stretch your hearing about this project. Right i guess what im saying im getting conflicting information they came in and said their budget if 65 to 50 million proposed for this year and the following year 33 million were not sure if there is money this is one of the corridors that was of extreme concern for me so you all are asking us an, an action item youll come back but youre saying the money might not be there i got the impression from their source of funding theyre money is decreasing. Commissioners through the chair tilly chang for the newer members we appreciate a standing with all members on the packet is fair youre being presented with should find information for the first time today but appreciate a standing briefly with you all we can explain not program and the funding process it is to the benefit the district to have the programs for the project so when the time comes and the mta ready to bring that program that priority has been established. No, no i get it, i guess what im saying im getting conflicting information to dpw was with me yesterday and sfmta yesterday and now youre here and saying were going to program that money and dpw is saying our money is decreasing we cant give you a commitment. Unfortunately, there is a patchwork of funding our money will be there. Okay. Thats what i want to make sure. a multiple voices the. The city agencies every two years dont have certain it but the Capital Planning by having the programming. I get it, i i wanted to make sure you are putting the money into the program but ultimately we have to work with the other different departments ill welcome that. Thank you and while this is just time consuming this is the committee as a whole two committees we didnt all actually see this at the same time so while epic that is time consuming and painful it is actually allowed owl 11 to see something we might not have realized commissioner kim. Thank you at my briefing yesterday with the ta i asked some further questions on the vision zero coordinated Pedestrian Safety improvement and the locations youre looking at im glad the tenderloin and south of market and could get a map or a list of intersections of for this and the bulb out for the walk first location that is are being proposed for design. It is information on the vision zero in the brief project description in page 39 gives details. Page 39. Do you know what that is im on page 85. Not a map included with a particular application but the slide that we have present might be hard to read there are colored ill be happy to followup with you. Where is the actual list. Of intersections im looking at page 39. In our brief project description it a paragraph described i can read them out. Thank you 8th and jones and bulb outs and a raised crosswalk and the application that originally included the bulb out at taylor and turk but those were full pending coordination with the street projects. Had are the pages for the walk bulb out locations 53 you to ma collateral and acton and 22 and south van ness and eddie taylor and 19 and 18 and other locations on the vision zero high injury network. Thank you very much my other question is from. Yes. Briefly was on the leavenworth liveable streets project item number 12 i was hoping to get more information as i havent heard of this proposal at all. Would you prefer. Through the sfmta im not sure. I would like to invite them up to describe if it is okay. Thank you very much. Hello chad with the sfmta the liveable streets project was a caltrain Grant Application we submit in october of this year we want to hear from caltrain to find out one 4 weeks and followup through the office for that project. If you could send something to the office what intersections on leavenworth and this corridor why it was identified and the outcome youre hoping for with livable city and i had one question maybe i missed it in the previous item no, no on the Golden Gate Bridge and i asked had intersections of turk and golden gate this included. Have the Analyst Report on the location the empower it was in district 5. I know you said that at the meeting we cut our briefing short i want to confirm that. The location there were 13 locations which im happy to read off in the applications as submitted theyre on the website but i dont believe in the materials in the packet at turk and broadway wick. Dont have to look at all the intersections one from the other end what intersection if what end to the other end dont list all 13 of them. Is that van ness to broderick or golf to broderick. On turk from broderick to laguna and on golden gate it from divisadero to laguna. Okay. Thanks thank you very much commissioner tang. Thank you very much so i know just looking at the map in turn of the programming recommendations you, you know that is quite alarming were having here where the equality is in terms of funding i understand for this source of funding those projects need to be project ready but the fund to be programmed from what we heard in 2021, 2022. 5 years of funding i mentioned you go through the programs were trying to match the projects with near so as the approximately 5 million comes in one year were Million Dollar for the project and so on and so forth. So what if for example, a project becomes project ready maybe at the tail end could that quality or a decision were making here today meaning we are foreclosing the opportunity. Were trying to develop a 5 year program were accepting the applications not be impossible that more fund can be available as projects are under budget arrest things like that i know were recommending an internal call especially for the straits sthts streets this is something in the middle of the program to make sure theyre my frustration didnt stay with the ta the ta has helped the office trying to push other department to move forward to get the projects be project ready to quality for the prop a fund be really i think that our office has shared with agency like mta and other things were trying to work on and get to a point we can quality for 09 funding my frustrations we get to that point when you look at this map absolutely nothing programmed for district 4 thats not okay everything is centered on 09 pathway of the city so i really want to follow up with the staff to address that in the just this but looking at district 7 they have muni enhancements for example, and district one on the arresting gull that needs to change given the fact we are programming like a 5 years out or a 5 year funding plan when we miss the boot we miss out on many years. And commissioner tang i know you have to leave would you like us to not vote on fdr and continue to the next meeting. Colleagues with specific issues and want to be ill ill be happy to continue the item. Maam. Ill comment to commissioner tangs comments and also to the commission that we are happy to announce were having a one bay area grant call for the projects that will be released federal fund and the transmissions fund for clean air that was last week and happy to work with our offices to advance the projects for this Funding Sources but in concert with prop a to help on the planning side to vaps the projects so the pipeline of projects ready to go once the call for projects for the future calls. Commissioner tang. Through the chair i appreciate that but dont remember this is a one bay area do they focus on Priority Areas district 4 is not one of those well not be high on the lettuce but constantly missing out an opportunity i want to having a deeper conversation about all of that. Commissioner fewer. Thank you chair i have the same concerns as this map there say, i think an equitable inequitable distribution of those funds and so i would like to say a conversation about how might my district can access those funds in particular a prop a licensing and heard about the vehicles theyre paying for the licensing fee im i think my neighborhood should have more improvement and praebl probably dont understand if it project ready over and over not but explore other opportunities to get fund in my neighborhood and on the prop k half kent sales tax argyle San Francisco general urban design have in the request i see the upgrading program out of prop a a funds is this funding the same time . Or those completely different projects theyre the same projects commissioner for the funding design prop k is requested today to fund the design phase of signals project and double a are in but future for the construction phase of project. So we are now talking about the signage urban designs on argyle blood vessels that will not be in place until when is the timeline for that. So will have an open phase in 2019. 2019 okay. So because im confused open it i know that im new to the commission but how much is the Transit Authority requesting for the planning phase of it youre telling me the hard construction phase implementations is 6 hundred and 55 thousand dollars out of prop a a funds how much then is this is not actually written out here. For the project so it is just the design of this phase one were asking for prop k sales taxes how much will that cost. She will robbed and colleagues a suggestion in the interest of time on item 12 ms. Bloomer had to leave well continue it to the next item and what i was going to say maybe we should get our last questions on item 10 on the floor and then continue this item to youre next meeting. Absolutely. That would be helpful. Maam. Through the chair commissioners the funding plans for the project is one the encloser with the applications available for reference on the funding plan the total costs of design and construction is one Million Dollars plus 34,000 the cost of design phase is 200 and 50 thousand and thats what is looked like or recommended for allocation of perspire items and the construction phase is at a cost of within Million Dollar plus of which mta is requesting programming today of 6 hundred and 55 thousand dollars there will be another prop k request that will come in for the same amount for 50 50 praukdz and additional sfmta fund 40 from operating the budget for 375,000. Thank you. I think im a followup on this quite frankly just to talk about how it is saving in different saving fees im a in favor of continuing that. I know that will happen. Commissioner kim. Thank you. I forgot to make one more comment for the sfmta as they move forward im glad were working on this you way findings signage that is difficult if youre not familiar with the fee and in other countrys they number all the exits and entrances when you lead up meet up with friends and families you can say meet me in 1, 2, 3, 4 that iscele helpful but actually for everyday resident meeting up. Commissioner breed i wanted to make a couple of comments i realize that clearly our goal to make sure were doing everything we can to address those issues around safety profit throughout the city and more importantly as district supervisors we want to make sure that were doing everything we can to support our individual district but i also want to say that we need to get going with so many improvements we cannot fix everything we know those projects it takes time and a lot of work gone into developing those particular projects to meet the needs so the funding can be attached to geting this done sooner or later and challenges of intersections those are the dollars that make the changes that people consistently complain i realize that note every district or neighborhood gets what it is they want and need to provide those improvements i dont think we should continue we should delay the issuing of those fund for those particular projects which are ready to go and i im not a fan of the continuance but i will allow this to be an opportunity for supervisors to have the decision with the ta and talk about what is possible and not possible that is a lot in any district that is supported and just to be clear a lot in any district were at the center of the city with the folks travel through for work to get downtown and everywhere through district 5 and in some instances by the time buses are not part of district theyre already packed the streets need to be repaired the work needs to get done and we shouldnt continue to delay not as if projects and other places will be at the this point to be substituted so for some of the projects we have here ready to go i want to make that point although i understand there is a desire to do what we can to look out for our our district but we shouldnt do so at the entrance of detailing the improvement that are extremely necessary. Commissioner yee briefly and commissioner kim do you want to speak again or commissioner yee. Just generally what im observing is two things and there are kind of separate i think when ta put out requests for proposals then matt or other departments respond to it there are two places where i think it is important for us as individual representatives to have a discussion one of them is really in regards to the allocation of funding how does that work is there a lens for equalities in terms of district and if this is important to us then we need to frame our requests or the funding that is available to reflect that so that people can respond or the department that respond to the requests for proposals will respond appropriately to look at go well, maybe we need to look at projects throughout the city this source of funding and then i on the other thing im hearing is that then those departments will be responding to for the funding need to talk with the individual supervisors so is look this is an lens for equalities in regards to the district what are some of the project we would like to see us go after support in your district im seeing two things one of the things i havent seen is the discussion of highway we frame our language around asking the department to respond to the Funding Sources for the proposals thank you for those comments commissioner yee so which i associate myself with and let me say that is this important we all make ourselves available for briefing that the ta staff offer and if you cant make them your staff make them and brief i was out of town last thursday and get my staff to brief me, however, my staff raised questions yet to be answered well have another week to answer them my staff raised questions about jackson and bulb out and i walked into here today 5 days i dont have followup information important to have briefing but for staff to get back to us with the questions we raised we happen commissioner fewer made a motion to continue is there a second any Public Comment on item 10 i know most of you are here for item 11 seeing none, Public Comment is closed. On the motion made and seconded to continue this to our next meeting of next week a roll call please.

Thank you commissioner peskin and today, well present the lombard crooked street Transportation Plan the lombard crooked street was recommend by commissioner farrell nonsense to the congestion and assess of safety concerns from the commissioner the lombard crooked street began with the existing conditions on and around the crooked street the staff meet with the neighbors with the previous studies particularly the closure in 1999 and 2000 and gathered transportation performance daylight in terms of the number of vehicles and pedestrians, etc. As well as the preference by asking the visitors to tells you what their designation and hour their traveling and found out about the crooked street this is the report in your deposition a but highlight a few again as the commissioner mentioned to do you believe that in two million per year in the residential neighborhood the number of initiatives can reach 17 thousand per day with the crowding and vehicles more commonly to a downtown area it is important to note that the other attractiveness Fishermans Wharf and coit tower have some sort of Agency Responsible for the maintenance of that location be it a improvement business with the Fishermans Wharf and the park and the woods something that the crooked streets effects when they remember completing those conditions assessment we worked with conceal to see the goals we weighed each with the effecting the Top Priorities were automobile congestion ecp mincing the liveable and the insuring the safety we used those to stream ideas from the community and reviewed stakeholder and our Technical Work the full rank considered and their evaluation in appendix b in the report after the Screening Exercise we had the solutions and brought them to the committee and held two open houses in 2013 and resident were passionate and collected feedback online and in the meetings and met with the groups with the regularly scheduled meeting and got over 6 hundred responds and eliminated some alternative like the policy proposal for loading and unloading and others like 0 proposed route throughout the neighbors neighborhood the four recommends well presented today through the increased sources for the agencies responsible and in the conversation frequent violations of restrictions on large van passenger uses and loading zones the study asked for parking control officers and Police Department parole officers and the Ambassador Program piloted last year to help with the comprehensive presence in the neighborhood with the enforcement the second reason to engage in the hospitality and partners to manage the impacts of the visitor surrounding the crooked streets more information for tour provider and the hotel and rental counters and other points of interacts and including taking walking and a recognition that is overall a residential neighborhood the third is the engineering profit for the sidewalks and patterns to help to address the padded crowding highlighting the increases in padded is the crooked street to help to receive the stress for the over crowding you knew way finding to help cars from this neighborhood as shown in the example nearby on Telegraph Hill fourth and finally recommendation the recommendation the study team feels to address the demands but actually manage the streets the study found all Electronic Systems for the streets by vehicles significantly reduce or eliminate the vehicles from the dollar restricted access like a ticket on the booted to concentrating or yosemite that asked the visitors to reserve a time slot and because the system is electronic the visitors will not be restricted but charged a higher price to discourage this behavior will be similar to that on the Golden Gate Bridge today since this study look at the key represents for the fourth represents to initiate a followup study to see the concepts including the price levels and the times of day and other factors on the institutional time to out this implementation of the system with the sfmta or a new agency to operate and manage the system and recommendations the agency, however, it maybe department of the Emergency Management to the townsend for the opening implementation of each of the recommendations outlined today thank you ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Are there any questions seeing none, commissioner breed. Thank you i was wondering if you did any work around which i didnt see in the report but areas like the painted ladies or the palace of fine art or twin peaks other areas of the city that have high volumes of tourists that may not be more compatible in turn in terms of a better comparison to the blocks. Speaking in terms of the volumes or the management strategy. The volumes. We didnt had had an assessment of the painted ladies it is harder to get the assessment we look at the management. What do you mean by that thats not what i observed in terms of the square park the ability to try and capture the number of individuals not necessarily in the cars but outside of their cars and it is possible. Absolutely i think we didnt have a good number of visitors available for alamo square. What do you mean a good number. We didnt have a good source of information for alamo square the ranking was not meant to be exhausting. How did you figure out the visitors. We focused on this block over a couple of weekend we count the number of pedestrians it was easy on the crooked block two assess points for the blocks as opposed to to alamo square with a lot of ingress and egress we wanted to focus the data in the sued area rather than on the locations and gotti am trying to understand i dont see that that way in any district i live near it, it is apparent who is visiting the painted ladies where on foot or in cars and the challenges that ex comm currently you to come during the day the drunk drivers go down it road and their crazy blasting their music not fun help us, please thank you. This relative to the speakers comments im actually extraordinarily familiar with the thousand block and know exactly with the tour buses park and hear from from all my constituents gone on for years commissioner farrell is saying i think so that former periphery quentin kopp was dealing this in the san jose if you want to line up to my right and your left i called a number of cards please come forward. Ill save you the time i have an additional power point that was taken over the past two weeks but save the time is getting late. Okay. Im francis a resident of district 2 sinceo 1974 we completely support the neighborhood on lombard study our San Francisco tougher guide if used vehicles around a privately chartered coach we right now only drive by most of coaches that do come and stop at the end to be from a market that San Francisco tour guide didnt use we do english tours and also do germany and french not service the other markets that bring people percent based on the study and based on the letter of support that we have given to the board only 5 percent of our visitors are coming tour buses yes weeks bad actors and highly recommend you enforce every of them were behind that 100 percent we completely support the entire study and i am speaking where the remarks that have been written those are our approved written board notes and anything i say in addition is my personal opinion as a guide id like to say that the most important thing for us despite the fact you, you dependent like the tour buses we need one or two more safe zones we need places after blocking columbia avenue to add some save Parking Zones tour buses and enforced by your Police Officer loading and unloading for only a photo stop that is not a driving by law all the visitors are blocking columbus they try to take a picture over their shoulders again, please do not look out thank you i called other out cards calling names approximately come on up anybody. Hi, im richard an over thirty year resident of lombard i know a number of proposals including proposals for well meaning individuals in the neighborhood supporting focusing on a toll road going down the street from my perspective any solution for the problems must be considering the consequences alongside the particular issue that is for more for example, the surrounded neighborhood will suffer from toll roads congestion at the top and bottom of hill will be worse as experiments when they repaved the streets some years ago so well not be able to go down the streets or toll and theyre not pay or congestion everywhere ill support any thing that will consider consequences of new particular action and i dont on the approach has take into account everybody focuses on their special needs my special needs i observe the intersection at lombard it is a zoo i would like Traffic Control and some pedestrian control unfortunately transportation are not able or allowed to cite avoids so for walking in the streets the police are loud but not involved frofrment for the most part and my wife has taken surveys on columbus and has a report youve received that already but if you distribute those ill be glad to hand you those as well. Next speaker, please. Commissioner my name is stephen im the transportation chair for russian hill and we have working closely with the commissioner farrells office as well as the ta and other organizations to address this problem the problem is very severe and communitybased organization beyond the directions or that one block of the student when during the health of tourist season cars line up literally to the odds of van ness avenue with the new brt and the restricts an lefthand side lombard is the major entry point to our neighborhood from the north and the west because youll not be able to make left turns on any other streets with that, street plaintiffs next in order to van ness it makes the nablgd ineducational a real unfortunate dilemma we need to solve and solve soon not a resident versus tourists the tourists themselves are terribly disadvantaged having to wait long periods of time to make a two minute trip down the street we strongly support the reservation system that is fair and a kind of pricing scheme that can be beneficial to everyone you make a reservation and go down the street and dont have to wait in line for the residents the street clears and that is one other point we do need to address the nonautomobile issues the tour buses and people on not a severe problem in that respect and have tour buses parking in busy zones two or three blocks away this has to be addressed we support in measure. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Chair and commissioners im robert im active to the russian hill and automobile traffic not crooked streets created a massive traffic jam on my russian hill streets on an increasing number of days in the year and holiday and be summer weekend and now fall and spring weekend even on week days cars are lined up bump to bump not only on lombard all the way down to van ness and franklin from chestnut and on hyde is a huge mess i think that is fair to say it is a crisis and it is getting worse people in the neighborhoods cant precede in the drishs of the traffic that are lined up to get out of the area past the lines drivers have to use the wrong side of the street obviously that is dangerous, it with on coming traffic creates a snarl meeting vehicles are not able to reach their designations these are harming the russian hill neighborhood the number of cars on the streets in russian hill need to be reduced substantially at peak visiting times so the traffic in the area can move in a somewhat normal way we might favor more savior measures but we are willing to try a system of reservations with at 1259d times with fees and greater fees for those without reservations. Thank you thank you, sir. All right. Next speaker, please. My name is taken place so walker i think on larkin street a block unlawful away from crooked student youve heard about the conditions i strongly support a recommendation with a reservation system i dont think it needs to be paid for by charging those who come through the city makes a ton of money on tourists allocate funds from the tourists plan and i think there should be a Management System people with authority on the hill to direct the pedestrians and the traffic and with the end result of restoring this is a neighborhood thank you. Thank you, sir. Im jennifer ive lived on the 1200 block of lombard for 20 years as many of the neighbors in the block has lived for 40 or 40 and 50 and 60 years as everyone said never, ever been anything like this our similar concerns commissioner fewer the first, we heard of the study a year and a half after it we were asked to vote on the solution were expert witnesses to the neighborhood and were not asked for the observations what we see everyday instead people came to our neighborhood a few days and said vote on our solution the second are concerns with the caress reservations we need help authorized unit on hyde and turk but john rahaim intersections and people in the intersections and the crimes have not been mentioned tourists are evaluating were evaluating them but people are robbed at gun point at the bottom of the hill in a busy day and tourists were robbed a block away most of those are one block away from did Elementary School we are walking by cars and broken into everyday the biggest thing i want to say step back this is San Francisco we believe in the environment and cliffs we say walk to school and bike to school and take the vehicles this is. Tourist attraction we should be charging the pedestrians and regulating cars i understand that the car restrictions encourage more and more pedestrians so we thank you very much thank you next speaker, please. Chair peskin and commissioners im helen i live on hyde at the corner of hyde and lombard been there 15 years im here to speak on behalf of the tourists the tourists bring us 9 billion a year and the fact that they want to come and see this site we have to find. Way to make that possible i i dont see i did want to thank commissioner farrell for this great from effort i dont see anything from the plan that is going to change the situation for residents or for tourists if we charge a toll the tourists will get out of their cars and walk by on a july day i believe your plan goes to 16 thousand tourists one july day having them pay a toll will just have more pedestrians on the streets and having a toll is it is not the same as if were the Golden Gate Bridge we are one short block i dont see it working the one part of the survey i think is very much needed to have more input from the tourists industry and from the car rentcontrolled units we have detail breakins im there to witness the heartbreak thank you. Thank you next speaker, please. Hello, im james with the Lombard Hill Improvement Association first of all, thank the board for supporting this study so for particularly commissioner farrell has thank you for all your hard work and commissioners helped and strongly encourage to continue this effort and study to do something i cant do add much to what was said or commissioner farrell said i will tells you i live in the middle of the crooked block i experience everything we have really reached the tiping point that people live in the surrounding neighborhood effects the traffic we feel everything we get two million visitors with no infrastructure to handle that and no enforcement it is literally a no law zone on the streets at all hours thank you for your support and strongly encourage you to continue this study to do something before it ruins the experience for all the residents and the tourists as well thanks. Thank you. Hello my name is frank in my daughter spoke earlier and said everything fairly eloquent weve lived in the neighborhood for thirty years and i have a couple of grandchildren and own property and gotten just has reached the tiping point and beyond the tiping point we live in the 1200 block of lombard all the quality of life in the summer and not only on the weekend we have idling cars for 10 hours a day you cant go out in the garden and have my grandchildren on the streets because of air quality is awful library in an Industrial Zone not a residential area the air quality issue and the safety and health and safety with the cars that back up idling overheat three or four car fires a year and cars that slide down the street backwards a light pole that smashed into an apartment buildings and cars smash into each other on the streets one day in front of my house a car knocked one on the sidewalk nearly hitting two tourists if something is not done someone will get killed i dont know if the reservation system will work or not but i think that is a good step forward and support it to help to this situation were beyond the tiping point weve intended thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Mr. Chair im greg president the Lombard Hill Improvement Association this is the association that has made up of people that actually live on the block and on montclair i think we started some 4 years ago working with commissioner farrell on this problem and weve feel have made significant progress im echo everything everyone adam but one thing about the tolling that is valuable and shouldnt be missed the tolling the reservation system by definition reduce the number of cars going down in theory but the toll bridge will be the endorser if you dont have a way to enforce this you have chaos to not only is the tolls and the camera system and tolling system available to enforce the reservation system but there to regulate with sunday morning pricing and volume and regulate what happens after 11 oclock at night as jim mentioned a minute ago that is when chaos happens were 100 percent supportive we had a meeting last saturday in any home and 81 percent supporting.

Thank you ms. Saks and if no other speeches well close Public Comment. Yes. Commissioners as you may know im on to vooiks committee i am in integrity 2 many schaerlz district we horde this item at the last meeting last month meeting and we heard had people come on up a lot of discussion about the tolls and the cameras and the safety sea had people come on came up some of those that spoke today were at the merge a couple of weeks ago when all of said and done we all took it in and i thought there was a little bit of a hesitation i thought jackie go ahead and do it in district 2 supervisor appointee i went ahead and i approved the this study and i wanted to move forward and everyone on the committee unanimously agreed with me but mark youre not alone you have people behind you thank you. Next speaker my name is donna i have lived on hyde street between entrenching since 1975 and seen the neighborhood change dramatically over the years and this requires other study and options that we need to explore to have the number of cars, the people and the crime thank you. Seeing none, not other members of the public Public Comment is closed. Commissioner farrell. Thank you commissioner cohens and colleagues for listening to this item and thank you all to the residents that came out obviously no perfect solution here but a few things i want to mention what were looking at a continuance of multiple years from the Transportation Authority study thank you for all your hard work and again to remind everyone not one block but must not be neighborhoods spreading many supervisorial district not just a quality of life but a huge Pedestrian Safety ill spare one the power point pictures and also Environmental Issues for those People Living in the area i hope colleagues ill ask for your support to move forward this item and other areas commissioner breed or anyone that requires Traffic Congestion study but as we continue to grow with the tourist designation we need to see those issues the beauty of our city we are close continue the tourist designations and it presents doing everything we can to make that better colleagues our support support. Thank you to all the members of the public and commissioner farrell your work on this effort i wanted to just step back and look at the Bigger Picture of San Francisco and our tourist you attractions the money we janitor from tourists and how irresponsible weve been to make sure that those locations where tourists visit the most are safe that is frustrating on a regular basis several times a day the career break no ones at alamo square park and robs at twin peaks the horrible stories of tourists area their passports taken on the way out of the city to go to the airport to get one picture like one the speakers said today, we as a city we want tourists to many we have people that a. M. Come from all around the world and when they come and visit the crooked street when we visit twin peaks and visit the painted lady their experience is met with something that we should figure out a way to make sure that is that avoided and having what ive tried to push for on a regular basis in those Areas Community ambassadors and looking at other ways to come up with a creative solution so we have easy on the streets and Police Officers and parking control officers so we have places for people to use the restroom some of the basic things james if we go on vacation the kinds of things we look for as tourists in an unfamiliar place that is wrong for us to keep on moving business as usual and generating the money and not trying to figure out a way to make sure the experiences of the people that visit our city are better than they are i personally dont agree a charge will change that i believe that we have to do better as a city to you come up with a real plan of a a action to address those particular issues and i think i had concerns i think about the report and had a few questions that i wanted to just kind of address for example, i know that in this resolution were expected to adapt we are we basically making the recommendations of improved enforcement by sfmta and San Francisco Police Department i completely agree but how is that going to happen what will we do to make sure that happens and again coming up with a right plan the action so it is effective we all know that Police Officers in an area is a huge deterrent for crime and Traffic Control officers that help to director traffic will make a difference but ultimately in the high traffic areas has to be a clear plan in alamo square we banter 0 buses and drop off and pick up people that didnt change the challenges with congestion and Public Safety and in each area that is unique in their own right a better plan for those areas and engagement of tourists the second one the engagement of tourism as partners in investor management i mean where is the travel why are the not at the table and having the discussions to come up with the right plan ive been in touch with the director and talked about the possibility of developing a good quality comprehensive Ambassador Program so we have people in those particular neighborhoods talking to tourists and providing them with guides and providing them with directions similar to the Pilot Program that was done on lombard street with commissioner farrells leadership we definitely need to really push for that and gave me ever more number 3, engineering and signage enforcement enhancement by sfmta why a hadnt that been done i mean this should be role something that should have been done yesterday and what is is frustrating without the square for example, the work we had to do in order to get signs up to tell people not to leave valuable in their car the work to try to get the kind of support for proper signage everywhere and not to park whether our in a particular neighborhood especially one that has millions of visitors the last one the development and implementation of the reservation and Pricing System for vehicles by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency im confused why the Transportation Authority and why is it limited to being b b by the Transportation Authority and what role does the Transportation Authority play and how does that work with the sfmta i mean who is in charge and responsible for more importantly does that knit us you know this is in the report it is you know outlined but i dont want to commit to agreeing to a Pricing System im not there i do report at it time with the representations of Pricing System i think this city should take monies that it already received from tourism and developed a comprehensive plan to address those issues now, now were saying this will be the solution not the secluding solution the solution is us coming up with a real plan i just to be clear that if were being asked to vote on the resolution i dont know, there needs to be an amendment or anything that is added to make it clear this from the commit us as commissioners otherwise i cant support that but not committed to agreeing to supporting a Pricing System you know without more detailed without more studies and conversation around this issue as it stand i dont support it and so want to make sure that report or resolution based on the report is not committing necessary me for that if so ta can clarify. Before we hear from staff commissioner commissioner farrell. To supervisor president breed a few things first of all, there is a lot of frustration around alamo square fair to say but obviously were talking about i guess think analogies but one residential block versus a park and in yours is more course but me studying and having my full support along those lines but a few things one we did start an Ambassador Program on the crooked street in response to the original closure we have amazing ambassadors mixed reviews in the neighborhood but ambassadors we want to help the tourists those are not parking control officers. We want to make it a positive experience for tourists tourists dont like it and have negative comments and in terms of enforcement look ive been asking for more officers in this area from Central Station and the captain is amazing but you know what this is not a high priority when we have crime so allocating the officer is a challenge it is the solution maybe at the end of the day look none sits there and says the tolling system is something we will create or the ideal solution but heres a solution what we can do a limit the cars and reduce the congestion but with that, the fund we can have officers in the neighborhood surrounding this ear to say a selfcontained mechanism first for tourists and people that live there you mentioned signage why not we realized too Big Community meetings that were super well attended were not talking about hey dont leave your valuables you know what people have strong opinions they want people home we proposed the route one was by a school that was technically in commissioner cohens with a lot of participants say dont deliver the cars near our schools we want you Public Comment for the and then in terms of the ta ultimately back and forth and talking with the mta is at the table but ultimately has to be one load agency ohio but i dont know there is a onesizefitsall this is a separate topic other block that is also being impacted the exterior affirm for the fly in for the series full house people thought were flimentd in San Francisco that one block the original producer bought that and trying to make that a tourist attractiveness in district 5 hearsay of cars coming by and saying what do we had no infrastructure for this in the city we need to address it i understand the sent sentiment this is a specific location with a potential results that can make a difference to the neighborhood i want to move forward. Commissioner fewer. I wasnt finished my question around the commitment was not clarified. Chair were committing to study the issue no pricing might come at a further time to just to be clear you know miss record by some folks when it was ooishl recorded this is the the rule to reduce congestion not a specific dollar amount to fund other things but the sole purpose to reduce congestion first of all, that will come back and well hold their feet to the for only to reduce contextual but come back to us were studying the issue future. Just this is should be clarified in the resolution from my perspective the language is vague says the development and implementation of the Pricing System for vehicles by the transportation to me it is developing and giving them the authority to implement maybe to avoid the solution change the language to be clear theyre going to develop a plan so we know what our options are and basically remove the word implement because that gives the wrong impression this is the study to study it and develop a system and then that system we can determine whether or not it works or if we should take into consideration. I think supervisor president breed that is absolutely correct perhaps director chang can suggest on amendment that will clarify that that is one thousand percent the plan all along. Thank you all right. Through the chair if i may to respond well recommend language under item 4 the recommendations to future develop to further study and develop the system removing the location and then respond to commissioner breeds question about sftravel theyll be appearing before their board on thursday with our staff we believe theyll recommend a position of support for a further study as well with that, i move that that i move that amendment.

Well take that without objection. That amendment is adopted commissioner fewer. Thank you very much Caesar Chavez so i want to make a couple of comments i have been down there i was born and raised in San Francisco and been a sense ever pride to have the street in the world it is quite beautiful i think is a lovely representations of our city that we have a street like that and having said that, in my neighborhood congestion in the japan tea garden one entrance in and out but it is a point like a crazy place in the neighborhood i agree with enforcement absolutely he an agency i believe in regulation of the vehicles that are coming in and regulation of the tour busy think that im in agreement with the pedestrian area that is designated for the folks getting their snapshots and we need to also look at the traffic patterns that some of the speakers mentioned about how we can regulate some thought and move around the congestion through looking at the traffic patterns i think we should charge tour buses quite frankly to be able to drop people off and tour buses that dont pay the fee cant actually visit that site i think they can take that kind of techy think there should be quiosque and many if instance the add crime i think that criminal element i think that it does warrant a Uniformed Police has the ability to call for more help and plus so this where i have an issue and im a little bit in agreement with supervisor president breed i think there should be a reservation system i think that we should time it so we can regulate people but also, we should be looking at some karates instead of sticks and reviewing combine with the tourist experience those types of problems as a tourist i look for the promotions actually where i think package them together if we know that a cable car is a transportation to your site and also that many tourists want to ride the cable cars as they are at the find is thriving if we look at combining the further activities together well have more people perhaps promoting like i like the caribbean rot but not charging the individuals to see the sites i think that San Francisco is such a beautiful city people from all around the world people save their money to come here our city is expensive it is expensive to live and this is an expensive trip for a family in particular and so im not there about the pricing if we dont have the costs to cover it we should absorb it in the general fund or the revenues for the mta to help to fund it i also think that it is actually having people pay individuals pay is not going to stop the congestion i think we need to prohibit the unregulated anonymous amount of vehicle they get a designated time if they dont come they lose it those kinds of opportunities ill support but not there to charge individuals i be in that is expensive for folks with come here and were a great city and part of it is there is some things to come here and enjoy it without a fee thank you.

Thank you, supervisors so id like to do briefly to make a couple of suggestions of public conversations i have friends here next week and all the conversation is about funding ill suggest we turn our conversation to what is exactly we are getting for 2. 2 billion and why the e entrenches expense of more contracts should have not been awarded in the in the first place the first one is capacity i did how could we possibly be increasing the capacity if were dropping the number in every train in 762 to 5 hundred plus thats little first one and refused to have this conversation oh, yeah. The important point of fta ta will not improve the grant in closing id like to share a letter if the Peer Review Group a legal document 1962 reviewed for an appropriation it basics says with two sets of doors is a high speed rail has nothing to do with with caltrain but saying were recommended in past that the authority consider from the outset the Building Platform will be consistent with a lower level used by caltrain and metro lane for the future and in our discussions the authority indicated from the new system operator the bottom line here is this specification with two sets of authorities has to be cancelled i dont know why we have to wait for an opportunity.

Who one of the maj was asked to do is Water System Improvement Program and one thing i looked at is about the 4. 8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. We looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscans and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local San Francisco lb program. So, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. I was on the First Committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. In the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. We wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. Our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. I like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to Small Businesses and lots of creative ways. Help the community as well. There is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. My faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many Small Businesses. [inaudible] Women Owned Business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. It is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. Everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. He got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. Pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. It completely changed his business. My name is nancy [inaudible] the Office Manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. Worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. Today we are doing Site Maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. In order to be success you need to work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. This is a Successful Program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects. The sfpuc is a fortunate agency we have a lot of Capital Program that span over 7 counties who also to see how some businesses like [inaudible] and bio mass started as small micro businesses grow and expand and stay in the program and work on several projects before they graduate from the program. That is what warms my heart. My name is college willkerson, the principle for bio mass. Bio mass has been in business since 2006. 3 partners. Small businesses fill a niche but apply and being a part of the program helped us be more visible and show the city and county of San Francisco we can also perform services. This program had tremendous impact to the region. In fact, the time we rolled the program out was during the recession. This has h a major positive impact and certified over 150 firms in the rejen and collectively awarded 50 million in contracts, and because of the lbe certification it open many opportunities to work with sfpuc. And, i significantly helped the business. It is one of the major contributors to our success. It looks at good and tastes good and it is good in my mouth pretty amazing. I am the executive chef ive been here as a chef at la concina since 2005 reason we do the festival and the reason we started to celebrate the spirit and talent and trivia and the hard work of the women in the la concina program if you walk up to my one on the block an owner operated routine i recipient its a theyre going to be doing the cooking from scratch where in the world can you find that im one of the owners we do rolls that are like suburbia that is crisp on the outside and this is rolled you up we dont this it has chinese sisterinlaw and a little bit of entertain sprouts and we love it here.
