Im the president of the cal supermarket and the Second Generation owner and Third Generation were lessor about the bus stop it is since weve been there since 1952 i dont think ive seen any accident maybe two small ones the movement from spruce to move the bus stop up will create a lot of unsafe walking habits when the customers coming across the street and everything i think the right turn lane is a very busy through fair to go downtown and by moving the bus stop up youll take away 50 percent of the cars around the Lower Village theyll have to turn and swing into to go around the bus into the second lane up think that is disastrous and not able to see the pedestrians crossing over the main concern is even though that has been there over 60 years and everyone loves it as an institution i hated to see some of my customers get run over i dont think to move it you say the project in 2023 for the whole block anyway, thank you for hearing me my hearing aids not too good thats why i speak like this. Next speaker, please. calling names . Overhead please. Good afternoon good afternoon. Im kathy from the Laurel Heights improvement we urge you not to approve those the existing bus stops were insulated out of the way of cars exiting the Shopping Center the stops shouldnt be move to spruce and laurel the do you believe will be moved to the 8 meter Parking Spaces will be removed and paved those offering those spaces are important their in front of the the Laurel Village and the mta needs them the drawings shows a car flipping into the left turn to get around a bus stop at the do you believe i believe this is infeasible d putting the do you believe to the right will 3e78d the Shopping Center the boub will be the same well loss Parking Spaces that are important for the vinyl the entire california street moved not considered until 2023 corresponding is a a staff email attached to my letter im submitting for the record and some copies so those two stops shouldnt be boubz alone and potentially save a couple of seconds if at the decide to boub the rest of the corridor along cool streets why exempt the Shopping Center at the first meeting thirty residents 0 objected to the boub and not mentioned after the next meeting we submitted a letter from 20 merchants against the boubz the program eir didnt talk about the conditions and there should be a traffic study to talk about the impediment the mta states the boubz through the traffic by 14 percent not the iconic to do within a Shopping Center thank you very much. Next speaker, please. calling names im and resilient of the laurel height and the improvement soefshgs the bulb outs will remove the Parking Spaces their valuable spaces 90 percent of the village merchants as i understand letters against the bulb outs which were sent to the mta obviously not take into consideration the mtas rep told me at a meeting the reason theyre putting in the bulb outs theyll save ten seconds on the route and called a 3 ringed circus the cars coming out of Parking Spaces and cars waiting to get into a fair and reasonable will block the bus to move forward and not take into consideration ann as you see on the priority red lines east into california but no take into consideration the cars turning eaton california thats another line of traffic and i hope this will not take place it will cause be a mess really thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Herbert wiener followed by howard. Herbert wiener mta more tact a ways the head now you do not understand the explicit planning the project that is a dense area the bus stops are widely spaced it is a long walking distance between bus stops and parking space is heavy why are you eliminating parking space along the street their creating a problem apparently mta thinks if you cant solve a problem make it worse or become part of the problem i strongly object i shop frequently in the area youre making things worse for everybody if youll widened the street the sidewalk how will 3 benefit people will that allow bicyclists to ride which is illegal who does this benefit i dont know so all i can say the model of mta we break it you hold it and ride it. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Howard. Anyone else. Good afternoon directors howard i want to speak in favor of far side muni knows how they work and give you a chance to work signal free with muni to save a few seconds you say many, many seconds and adds up to seconds and millions of and get more people to ride muni no long have to be greatly concerned some concerned with moving cars i mean even the cool street no longer says traffic is something we care about we want to move people along the streets and the buses are the best way they have a parking lot in the back of that Shopping Center and parking all around people what walk a little bit i hope youll keep whenever you get a chance i spoke up with the staff to the far side at pdr and you stand there get on the bus whoops the light changes and this way the light is held and the people get on the bus and the buses save loads of time. Anyone else care to address the agency. No other cards. Speaking on 10 point a through c . Please. My name is jerry he represent two of the Property Owners at the Laurel Village and want to say that in light of the major developments that are going to occur around Laurel Village specifically the example s sf and the condos at the school of pharmacy and the california Medicine Center across the Street Medical Center has over 4 hundred and the usf has over 6 hundred units maybe theyll be circulated down and frightened over the parking is situation now the parking lot we try to monitor the people who park there dont belong there in the near future parking will be to sways so were very against losing those Parking Spaces and i said it is up to 10 and 10 two many thank you. Anyone wish to comment on item number good afternoon. Patricia owens as an individual person on this issue the 4 hundred units are high ended units they are going to have cars and you just might as well cars to be there this is a low to moderate housing high income and they drive a block i want you to be well aware when the gentleman said it will cause big problems in the area i dont understand just are chang it until we see the repercussions of what is happening i think you are premature until the massive buildings are being built thank you. Anyone else care to address the board. You spoke on this. I want to make a correction. No. You cant lets close. I was going to go ahead and make a motion to approve based on a couple of thoughts. Second. I feel like you know were constantly faced with the challenge of making sure our transit stays comprehensive competitive for people up and down the corridor and as someone who is familiar with this corridor i had brufrn the other day with ed and see the challenges of the transit along that corridor with having to pull over at american peoples angle and louis time and disagreeing transit riders but not pulling up alongside a bus boub this is going to be worse and worse as traffic gets more and more traffic and more and more development the buses and the transit gets slower as we get more and more development along the corridor especially the new units coming online if parking is a problem i think weve been able to demonstrate with better managed parking we can insure there is parking for folks when we actually prices parking at the rate it is demand for which it is demanded i know a particular center is surrounded by parking and for people saying it is a tensecond benefit you multiply that for every person on the bus that turns into a whole lot of time not just for the one bus but hearsay of buses that translates to costs saving and safety it translates to ultimately a better flow we make transit more competitive and attractive and 83 30i7 can leave their cars and Parking Spaces for people that need to drive ill continue to support 24 item i think it is worthwhile endeavor the bus obstacles are invaluable for people getting on and off the bus to step down on a sidewalk makes a huge difference as we get older and stepping off that highstep into the street is challenging id like to move we adapt it. Is there a second. Thank you and i think thank you first and foremost the members of the Community Talking about their challenges i plan to vote for this and not create any false exceptions at the same time i hear the concerns coming from the Business Community this is not you know a business corridor like west portal subway serving but a business corridor i expect relies a grateful on people that are driving to the Business Districts removing 10 Parking Spaces is a threat to business a threat to the ability of those customers to come to the business corridor to me what im hearing a rather concerted statement from the Business Community in that district that statement theyre worried about some limitation on parking low effect their business to follow up on what director ramos said i wouldnt mind hearing from staff or a recommitment to see how this is impacting Customer Relations for the businesses and things we can do with Parking Management to help them for example, lots of side streets with unmerited parking there e r right there if you put on more metered parking to create i dont know. I dont have the answers were hearing from the Business Community a pretty fair concern about an ear they bought their business with the parking x and owe it to the communities to follow up and see how this plays out and use other means for Parking Management to help them more metered spaces into unmetered spaces to create that is something ill be open to and especially once that goes in to solve that but not pass this and then cut off the communication with this valuable business district. Maintain a dialogue with them and see if theres an impact and if so come back and quickly manage parking in 3 area so a flow and so people can get to the businesses the way they should. Ill support that my only concern to watch that intersection there is a lot of traffic with the bulb outs with the flow of the traffic as people are crossing over california street and making turns if we can monitor that so make sure were not creating new conflicts there i think this is really important. Also in general well talk about as we can do a better job get faxed data from the Controllers Office to look at how businesses are doing in corridors and start pulling that date to have a better sense if there are impacts and kind of the mitigations are if there are. Yeah. I think that director heinecke stated my position in what he said this is a tough one 10 spaces is not a big amount i usually go for the parking lot in the back you said we have to focus on using Parking Management to respond to the Business Community and ways to make that thank you that has been all in favor, say i. I. The is have it. Thank you okay one more item on consent before the 2 oclock item. Madeline followed by calling names have submitted speaker cards on this item. Madeline boyd. Good afternoon. Good board of directors item of thank you all for keeping this running smoothly im here in the Mission District speaking in support of commuter shuttle and thank you for the new ones i know your possibly removing some in the past removing outlined stops before the new stops in best caused huge disruptions for myself and future colleagues im in favor of more stops as a rider of Public Transit in general and in the city i found the greater number of the commuter stops the less disruption to traffic and the less disruption of traffic and also like to add that i oppose the hub model as it stands an hour to and a half a hub model will push that up to 2 hours one way and that will be disruptive to the quality of life and like to speak on behalf of some of my friends and colleagues that lost their stops in the parking space and have a 20 foot walk thats on top of a drive down the 101 so thank you for your time. Thank you next speaker, please. Michael calling names james wilson the last person. Good afternoon im michael a residence of San Francisco in the russian hill neighborhood. Thank you for the licensed program for years id like to say thank you for the stops on lombard and turkey i ride one of the buses and seen a lot of consistency at the golf and bush and the buses get lost in the traffic and things that happen so echoing the previous speaker i think that it will help with unblocking muni and so i know that is often a common complaint for the shuttles so the the better off the program will fair with the opposition the last thing id like to talk about is completely different a turn around for the buses because of the restrictions any bus it stops and lombard and piers goes to the presidio to go back setting the city as circling i think a turn around increases the traffic especially in the busy afternoon commutes so, anyway we can quickly get back to this will be additional thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Next speaker. Patricia calling names . Parish boyd first of all, the merchants were never shown exactly when you were doing this plan is going against vision zero because if you have one and 44 feet of buses coming from the east to the west even if you take out a parking place you cant say see because of the narrowness of the street it is not going to work number one, your not taking into consideration how the accidents are happening at scott and divisadero and broderick and running the lights and taking a left while the people are in the admitted felt intersection and hitting them there not here number two other places to have the hub to pick up at scott and not have a lot of buses where they can pickup them up at scott and number 3 the loss of parking 4 out of 5 of our restaurant near the corner but it didnt address vision zero is just will not do it going both ways and taking the Parking Spaces carry place disturbs me in the morning people get up between 8 and 10 morning but the vision not going to work and we were not ever they mentioned this was coming but didnt present it to the public this is piecemealing the project by the way, they didnt present it to the public we had a meeting with some of your people saying whats the problem has been no outreach i want this to be put on the table to solve the problem but once again it is good evening railroaded through an this facility thank you. Next speaker, please. James wilson the last person to submit a speaker card on this item. Good afternoon mr. Wilson. My name is james wells fargo son lived in the Mission District and ride the shuttles to work and effected by the closure of stocks a great hole in the middle of the mission if 24th street from the castro and the west to bryant street no shuttles available in particular i think that the mta restate the the church line it is walkable from castro to the mission and i think that stop were made available or other stops will make that easier for people to get to work id like to speak in opposition to hub mold model this will make the commute for myself less amenable and save and poem driving adds congressmen to the city streets in San Francisco and outside the city this will not be productive. Anyone wish to comment on item number. Good afternoon. Good afternoon mary alyssa. speaking spanish. an an individual person that recently drove to marin and experienced a one hour waits we had others people in the car but telling you ive got questions to ask you a few questions one is how flow is slow enough for you an hour on lombard to get to Golden Gate Park is awful darn slow do you want to be us to be going 2 mileperhour and how much more emissions do you on the cars are putting into the air as driving slower and slower and circling and waiting i mean, i dont know where you think this is a green and clean process that youre dealing with here what youre doing adding more emissions into the air and creating frustration on everyones part and not doesnt make sense youre out to kill all the merchants i can give you within information 56 percent of income is out of castro area youre getting ready to add more confusion to the castro i dont know what you expect to do but killing all the businesses.

Thank you members of the board im michael mooirns are part of congregation and proud to serve on the board of directors briefly im very much aligned what the comments of rabbi rider and any board colleague about our support for the Pilot Project that the sfmta staff is bringing before you today i would like to add that im a long time officer of Park Association and have observed and participated in many often contentious neighborhood discussions about traffic and parking and seen that goals of different stakeholders and residents, businesses and vifrtsz can meet to good compromise and balanced solutions the sfmta staff proposal for the Pilot Project is the right step to improve the delores streets medium parking conditions thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names ladies and gentlemen, of the board thank for listening im theth of the congregation and ill keep any remarks brief puncture of our manipulating lives in the area of Mission Delores street corridor i personally live in glen eagle park and many of the members live in noah valley and because of our history we have many members that left the city and live in the east bay and marin and live on the peninsula we consciously choose our location 20 years ago because of accessibility of Public Transportation and many of the members come using Public Transportation with the church the bart to mission and 16th street but particularly the members elderly and the members with disability and members of small children parking is essential and the reality is if this pilot didnt go forward we will lose members and have people not able to come to pray with us and be part of our community so i urge you to accept the recognition from the staff for this Pilot Program and want to see is that our Community Deeply understands this is a privilege and not a right and that were here to maintain the enforcement of the regulations that are proposed and to be responsible citizens to insure this is something that is successful and meets the needs of neighborhood thank you.

Next speaker, please. calling names . Good afternoon thank you very much this remarkable thing youve done in providing parking for the churches in the Mission District many years this is not an xaerpgs for saying that the city of San Francisco grew up around Mission Delores rather than the other way around on one street i encourage you to go an indication Mission Delores was live founded in 17765 days about the dags and a reasonable thick thing for the medium parking to support the people that want to go to the other churches to worship ive been a consumer off medium parking and drove to the Corner Stone Church because it the wonderful i can i have to tell you it is really has been a tremendous benefit to me to be able to park in the medium and also been my experience to note it is very well organized and managed there is a strong Factoring Team that watches over the process and so i think it is wonderful youve done done and want to support reconsidering the rules to make sure that is safe and not fwlok the author fairs i thank you once again and have to run ill get a parking ticket ticket laughter . Thanks calling names and good afternoon. President nolan and members of the board thank you for thank you for your time my name is eileen im a resident of San Francisco i moved from washington, d. C. To San Francisco in november ive been involved in Mission Delores ever since area here to support allowing the medium parking for a few reasons major reasons one is didnt obstruct traffic ive been there many times on sunday morning and not seen issues with traffic whatsoever and two for unlimited number of times only on sundays and the weekends and i think that is basically worse the amount of you know opposition the number of oppositions versus the fact it is just for a limited period of time number 3 the mission the church has been extremely supportive of the Actual Community and have been generous and helps a lot with the community so i think that is it will be harmful if we can stop people from coming to the church and not allow the church to continue its Service Within the communities and number 4 i heard today a suggestion that that basically suggested that people take Public Transportation to come to the church were talking about i believe 6 hundred members of the church i currently dont have kids but can imagine myself putting my kids in cart or their stuff together on sunday morning and getting myself to the bus or muni with everything i need and getting to the church by 10 00 a. M. So thats why im in support of this thank you for your time. Thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names . Good afternoon and hi, im william thank you electronically and commissioners and director reiskin i service with the agency with weight wellness city and here in the city for the office of the Small Business commission buses born and raised isnt mission as many people suggested those institutions prior to the United States existing i was part of the Advisory Panel that commodity all stakeholders and very excited to be in San Francisco and seeing the city progress being an inclusionary body i thank john knox. I my mom had a heart attack as a Small Business owner in the Mission District those institutions are anchors through the gentrification their constituency has been general it is my duty out and draw on a weekends basis a large pool of consumers that consume products to the businesses in the Mission Holding on by a thread i just want to give that perspective i dont see them as institutions but anchors that were in the mission prior for the mission trendy you see people speaking in opposition looking me, im the other voice i like to be equitable and process and like that all stakeholders with being held accountable and sclrgs and this process was inclusionary thank thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names . Good afternoon. Hi Board Members im jake a residence on 21st street and a Board Members of the liability hill a a block champion in the planting of guerrero for your medium between 21st and 20 street and maintenance that medium at my own personal risk we actually recently replanted all the plants in the medium at our own expense the neighboring neighbors paid for them and when they get trampled on their expensive and believe me those plants are expensive as far as when i say i have have to do this at my own reflex the city didnt water the medium we go out there twice and week watering and i have to dodge traffic and not get run over and yet every weekend and sometimes during the week churches get to park for free and tommy dont i get it if we move forward i suggest we make the medium parking open to everyone and not favoring a religious group come on we cant pay for religious organizations right now that is technically if were all going to break the law lets break it for all of thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names my name is elizabeth i wanted to ask for more time as effective counsel of the Advisory Board this meeting that is being held i dont want to take this off any time its not fair. Rules are rules. No the rules are not the rules this was supposed to be heard two years ago and no other Community Member can be here i have a computerized chip i want to show images of can i do that. You can go ahead but not a lot of time. Can you stop the clock. Everyone gets two minutes. Thank you very much for the lack of communication okay. Youve been give from the churches churches a question of churches versus everyone the churches and the synagogue want special privileges theyve had illegally and everyone from John Knox White says this is illegal the recommendation that john knox said will be presented not present and the meeting on february 25th of this year was that there be no medium parking permitted on delores or guerrero a report as such as the recommendation of the committee by the two professional journalists and one hundred person of journalists in the examiner it was the recommendation of the committee it is not true that we abated by a rule that everyone has to and go that is discussed at the first meeting at subsequent meeting we discussed how to try to reach consensus but the recommendation of the committee and mr. Knox white that there or members of the bar permitted to practice agreed a recommendation of the committee transit first, the people like me that live in the neighborhoods were told this is a transit first the people that dont live in the neighborhood are supposed to park where the people in the neighborhood cant. Thank you thank you. Maam. The next speaker is howard ever youre out of order police radio your time is up. So the last couple of speakers talked about the Fourth Amendment it is pretty close to a First Amendment you cant do something for the churches make even if you did it for fridays and saturdays and sundays you scant is that we have a 34e6d to talk about of parking for disabled people we think if we find a parking space along the medium on disclose and not impediment traffic and fire engines and garage trucks we can park there one of the directors suggested that for california street there say you can pet meters my place if you want to do that and allow people to park put in meters it is dangerous park it red or disabled paint it blue dont have to mess around with the First Amendment i hope you do something good like make thatable for people to get around and carpool never use anything no transit can compete with free parking. Anyone else here to address the board not seeing any, director borden. Thank to everyone that spoke obviously an important issue and emissionly charged one that extends to everyone not just those who patron news religious institutions this hearing is not different concerns about the loss of parking that laurel vinyl and the one later talking about Mission Street talking about the houses of worship and people not staying in San Francisco for cost of living and others reasons that have their because of their hairstyle lift or are their Foster Restaurant or whatever they want to patron news to better balance the transit first is exactly what we want everyone to do coming further and further to the city to support part of their lives may not be able to assess transit for the time is distance and the time takes so long people dont choose to do so one of the things to reduce the time from point a to b and hopefully use transit and be able to patron news those businesses i used to live in the neighborhood i saw the you know parking along the medium for a long time delores street the street is probably half the people were park goers that were using the parking and true that corridor has changed with businesses the advantage of the parking not just for the religious part of worship but for the people there i think this pilot makes a lot of sense if we are actually collecting data and making informed decisions weve being doing this for years and cant forgot by the fact that these institutions were there along before transit first came into fruition and the behaviors and patterns around the social networks are a real thing figuring out how to do that better by having this pilot is the only way to move forward this is obviously not the only neighborhood in the city where the issue comes up there is the example of our responsibility to try to weigh all of the xooeft issues and interests in the city and i think about the way forward and having a pilot to collect data and make informed decisions and the path forward in this record regarding i think the truth those institutions as well as the other businesses provide are part of the fabric that makes San Francisco what that is and we tend to support that because people mentioned worship aa centers and also places where communities and things happen you know like i know there is schools that are housed around there so i think that we have to look at that way and understand the concerns of the people that are experiencing the difficulty of the Traffic Congestion because of parking i will say that cars drive slowly on delores street where people slide down the street the reason im supportive i think this is the best pathway to make informed decision. Thank you. I think this is it is a fascinating topic and anyone that knows f many if you brought this up a couple of years ago lets enforce it but on my time in the 6 years San Francisco is not good at doing things 100 percent out of the gate this Pilot Project will be a good first step i hope my fellow Board Members take this pilot a little bit faster and take advantage to ask for what we asked for twice as director borden pointed out the Parking Management and obviously not doing a good job of managing parking negative impact that grandchildren neighborhood im willing to support this along it evolves into a Parking Management study for the overall neighborhood i can absolutely see bodies and completely understand the neighbors who get fed up with the creepy think that is going on started small and creeping block by block and not safe as a the gentleman pointed out no transit can compete with free transit well not get enough free unmanaged parking citywide and not enough because free and unmanaged i think the flexibility that the face based community is zigzagging for is a great theme to takeaway and ask for that same flexibility back as we hopefully direct staff i think that feels like we give you impossible projects heres another one lets manage the parking so everyone get the chance to park for people that need to drive we know interest people that come into the churches and restaurants again need to move forward we cant turn a blind eye and not continue to creep up the block so ill go ahead and support this with that request this becomes a large Parking Management discussion. Anything. One the request for staff on this thank you for all the harry reid and Community Members that spoken on this it is contention ill curious about the members of the public were talking about in terms of blue to accommodate people are people with disabilities and folks that may not not assessing the transportation city theyre interested in ceasing the medium parking im wondering with medium parking looks like with people with disabilities and wondering if there is you know something we can do in this neighborhood to improve the accessibility for parking for folks that absolutely cant take transit. Thank you director rubke. As a part of our initial and the evaluation we did we reached out to a number of city departments and Mayors Office on disability was one of those to identify owe zones to add in the neighborhood as a part of any Pilot Program and looking to make a recommendation to legislate that in the conversation with the Mayors Office on disability they asked for a not only the low hanging fruit but places to pursue not future you know theres an acknowledgment the medium without paving it over will be virtually impossible to make assessable but in order to get the Mayors Office on disability well have to make a concerted effort to make sure we are accommodating people who needed the blue spaces throughout the area to offset in any parking issues. Thank you. Directors director ramos. Thank you director nolan nothing brings unity like parking laughter it is fascinating to see this unfold i appreciate everyone that puts thank you for your time and consideration and i have to commend mr. Knox white for his navigating us to the point and like the vice chair i too thought this was really a changing thing and didnt know how to face it when i came on the board i knew that was an issue to deal with skoovrnt but the more i thought about it recognizing that again as we see this city grow it is not unlike you all of us living in a small apartment and have kids and suddenly the studio or one bedroom apartment doesnt work we have to make the space and do better with the space you have what happened an over and over geography or accidental creation of overflow parking over is years it is feels like what happens as things gone on not a terrible reason not to do it and so we didnt enforce it because there are clearly and need for it and unfortunately for a lot of us especially that less likely likes to see this city change it is changing and more and more demands for space everyday and we have to if were going to stay functioning and accommodate people that Everyone Wants to come to San Francisco we had a better job of managing the space so this feels like the best attempt at the managing this space when i play this out n my head and see where it goes in a couple of years i dont see how it didnt expand and not just the limited times but it expands being so more hours and for more days as time goes on it is such a huge swath of spaces and streets are wide and as director borden said it is scarey to walk or drive along delores when not parking the traffic moves so faster through that so i think that ill be supportive of this but im going to i want to separate well be back here and a demand for more regulations in a year this parking is going to get eaten up quickly but whoever will need it and going to see there will be a need and demand for better managed parking we only have so much says that the city is not the same thing year ago we want it to be that way we have to accommodate folks and a transportation to demand management not only this space but every square inch of the city i applaud the staff for coming up and ill support it and looking forward 0 revisiting this but i suspect well be more transportation to demand management really suggest that the counsel and the interslar face council hire a cooperated and figure out how to get our demands met for the a lot of us couldnt afford to stay here weve been pushed out without a choice and want we demand on the services and institutions to keep a close knit fabric despite all the things happening we value our services and have to recognize were facing a Global Warming economy that is putting unprecedented demands to manage our capacity thank you all i applaud you all. Commissioner. I just wanted im glad the way you added director ramos that was speculation what happened in 12 months no speculation well be back here reconsidering this 12 months after the Pilot Project. The idea well be back sooner to have you legislate a project that lasts 12 months and mrepts of opportunities for discussion for Public Comment, and also to explore some of the additional related issues that the board has raised. Okay. So i am not it is to me procedurally what happened we hope for a consensus but this will not be a consensus because people want no parking and people that relied on the parking for years and you know have a vested interest in the property that is there dating back to the funding of nation weve heard i guess my issue is this im happy to have a Pilot Program come forward well regulate it and see the benefits of that and whether we go further with regulation or return to the current state i dont anticipate that happening but the question is about procure so you come back to us and have a more concrete plan is the group going to discuss this or wait to have it because im not saying this as kick the can down the road but it seems to me the Community Input is important and make sure that goes on when we get backs after a year to reevaluate having that ongoing and not starting over i think that delays and fruits the folks and not the most efficient way thats my procedural question staff will put together a program to use the community but not a draft proposal; is that correct. Correct. That Pilot Program, however, we adapt it goes in and my question what sort of Community Input will that be the same committee or a new Committee Going on in the year for the Pilot Project. Thank you a thats a good question when we proposed the project to the committee we wanted quarterly check ins and was develop the pilot to come back and a a blast to get the feedback from the community to make sure it is working and also to make sure that we are obviously going to come up with the Community Feedback along the way i dont have a specific answer we didnt provide that but certain make sense to rely on people already participated in this i think this is an interest and having a few more voices to participate. Yes. I agree with that and thank you for all your hard work on this project i will urge we let the whole Community Know that is a 12 month project and solicit the feedback that a year now we are implementing something permanent. Is there a motion by the board. To direct the Pilot Project. Move to approve. Second it i want to call the Parking Management aspect of this Pilot Project and get a Temperature Check if the all in favor, say i. I. Opposed . The is have it. Well take a brief recess you. Back into session. Okay. The board will reconvene and deal with the items for 3 oclock. Approving the transit along the Rapid Transit corridor. Thank you mr. Bring out he will good morning. Good afternoon. Good afternoon director nolan and director reiskin im matt with the transit distribution and here with the Rapid Transit team with phil and thank you for your time and consideration today, were returning within an update on the project you approved in december of last year and discussed the project modifications on the legislative chaernd and start to make sure that everybody is on the same page and talk about the changes were recommending today the scene okay. Great. So as we discussed in december of last year Mission Street is a key route for moving san franciscans the 14 r and the 49 carry on average 65 thousand people a day a vast majority that low income and prior to the corridor were talking about corridors or are unlikely it is combined with heavy ripen on average during the week can i h day 60 percent during nonpeak hours excluding in the peak hours in addition Mission Street was the highest muni collision corridor in San Francisco this is primary before us of the existing lanes nearer on the width of the buses this is changes during the implementation of the changes but beyond muni one of the high injury corridors the number of streets that are contributing to a high portion of the high injury of the pedestrians in San Francisco the reality necessary commissioner adams a change to the roadway design to better in terms of how many people are using this corridor specifically the list is utilizing the Design Options for the corridors given the usage of the street that is heavy weighed in the muni ridership the design nufltd the ability to improve safety and muni reliability while at the same time, we need to balance the people that use the corridor merchant and others people that use the corridor including the bart riders displayed an exist look at the streets with had wlanz this is south bay on 20th street and this is one of the conditions this is the condition we no longer see in the street today, the project goals have two options to gather feedback and adjust on comments the designs unfortunately were constrained because of the width of the roadway ideally four lanes weirder and transit given the wifth the roadway not possible thats why the go option two lanes in each directions and two red lanes as well. With no forces right turns, however, requires the removal of parking for the corridor the second option shown below a rendering when the changes have been implemented that insulated 3 wider lanes and preserved the parking on mist and nearby streets the trade off the 6 right turns that county exist on the streets today so a major portion of what you legislated in december has been implement we start the communication in february and finished in april the term restrictions and others striking changes additional changes are still to come with changes to add pedestrian boubz and the photos that are taken concurring construction and after construction i want to thank all the sfmta shops that were involved in getting the work the sfmta and painted shop and the parking control officers, and the muni inspectors worked in tandem and coordination under budget and zone safety so what we see on this streets is resulted in pro tem results in terms of of safety and muni collisions have dropped dramatic prior to the corridor as i mentioned prior to the project that corresponding was the high section of streets with collisions related to muni 3 a week and since the project is less than one per week and this is primary due to the wider lanes and the operators more a fair condition to operates safely we are hearing from consumers about the improved experience both the revised travel time and to emphasize how important reliability to customers the average salesforce by riders is 10 minutes that is objective far grandchildren greater than were contributing this to the buses are showing up up more reliability and weighing less and theyre getting to their designations quick you may hear comments today regarding the outreach we heard quite a few of the comments ive talk about i want to briefly summarize what we the prior to the legislation and some of the activities we did notably held open houses people were invited to come and provide feedback and hosted a number of engagement opportunities with the communities and ridership the ridership in particular i mentioned in december youve heard is a difficult to get feedback from and show up to Community Meetings we wanted to reverse that trend and go to where the risers were we did adds pop up and bart station and activities on the bus. Before legislation immediately before implementation and after prelims we did a number of merchant walks with focuses when we did ism of them prior to legislation and focused on legislations and getting feedback how to manage the converse side parking and looking at all the different uses along the corridor in terms of parking and had the opportunity to adjust based on feedback and more outreach conducted was think prisoners from merchant ill talk about that in a minute as well so we also prior to legislation in interaccept ask a this is shows a vast majority getting to Mission Street to visit the institutions by walking or transit the survey indicated 12 percent of people invite the streets are driving so as you can imagine the outreach during this phase of the project generated ideas and comments and views we were able to incorporate them into the design but a lot of feedback that shaped the recommendation that came to you in december didnt even the economic importance of Mission Street to the whole neighborhood and the city i recognize that how people are getting to Mission Street there are people that need to do so we presented the plan if you dont have the parking it will be hard for people to drive to the corridor the current design you legislated balanced the muni rider and publishing those to maintain as itch parking as possible i want to shift to the feedback since implementation or since the start of mromgs we heard a lot of feedback that has been positive and negative but come from all sources email or online or in person and hundreds and hundreds of emails and other comments submitted to us ill summarize a few not a recommendation of everything but highlight a few now. First youve proefbl heard this is it is hard to drive on Mission Street weve heard from regional drivers there is confusion the restriction on Mission Street dont exist in other areas of the city and to the corridor of entire community especially the latino and understandable this is shocking to come to a corridor and see the restrictions were heave weve heard about the congestion in the corridor and done what we know that didnt require the prelims of changes as quickly as possible based on feedback weve received as you can see two photos on the bottom weve dramatically improved both the roadway and the timing atdz at shakespeares and implemented a number of signal changes to improve the flow and make sure that drivers and muni drivers can move in the corridor. In addition to that i think ability to drive on Mission Street weve heard assess to the stores and designations have caused problems for institutions and merchants specifically weve heard most prountdz the turn anothers cesar chavez and it created a wall that separating the two mission basically from other communities while still possibility to walk or drive a bus autos are required to turn right at the intersection we did evaluate the restriction at the intersection and north bay mission a single lane that will be far worse than before that means both drives and muni drivers have a less good experience than when they were in the project youve heard about park not enough packing supply on Mission Street we moved Parking Spaces and added some and consolidated but some removed and we have been monitoring the parking meter usage and has not changed since the project was implemented, however, we do feel that removing some the required right turns will improve the access and the ability to find park what a lot of drivers radio experiencing a parking spot at the cant say access it to improve the re conditions weve worked with the merchants to install green and yellow and white zones based on feedback to better utilize this spates and in the critical feedback weve heard overwhelm amount of positive feedback specifically two primary thing it is safer to walk on Mission Street and likely a variety of factors for the things to be done we think is effecting the feeling of the recreation of left turns that is common and dangerous collision patterns and implemented early walk signals at the every single corridor and pedestrians are out in front of cars their visible and that is likely to contribute to safety and lastly this is received mixed feedback fewer cars using Mission Street as a through street it creates a calmer nature on the corridor that is likelyaving a effect of traffic calming people are interpreting as being more safe and he comforting the muni weve received lots of expressions of appreciation for the corridor and we heard from occasional and frequent riders and some the acrossal riders choose muni over bart because of the prompt quickness now shift gears to talk about the project modifications you have before you today over the past of past few months worked with supervisor campos and others shareholders both understand what the needs are and the concerns are and also to develop ideas for how to address those concerns those are some of the activities ill briefly talk about what weve learned and the results as youre aware we are held a meeting in the june in the
