Present. Farrell absent kim absent mar absent peskin, present. Tang, present. Weiner, present. Yee absent we have a quorum item 2 item 2, cheers report. Colleagues earlier this month i was lead to join with mayor lee commissioner mar and several staff the mta Planning Department department of the environment and Transportation Authority to formally welcome the metropolitan Transportation Commission the association of bay area government and the bay area air Quality Management district to the new San Francisco office on 375 deal. We spoke about the importance of Regional Cooperation on ourexcuse me on land use transportation and climate goals. Mayor lee presented a beautiful cable cartel to the representatives of the three agencies as a welcome gift to be displayed in the new bay area metro headquarters. I would like to rearrange my thanks to our staff including Senior Communications officer, eric young, and martha cohen of the Mayors Office worked very very hard while juggling many other events to pull this terrific welcome event together at city hall. On july 7, we were also pleased to see the peninsula corridor joint powers board authorize the award of the two main contracts for the electrification of the caltrain corridor. These contracts included 1. 2 billion 1. 2 billion in contract for design, build over the electrification infrastructure for the manufacture of electric multiple units or emu vehicles. With this critically important project, we are laying the foundation for the future of caltrain to bring into the 21st century and for future blended caltrain highspeed rail service to help lead congestion on our 101 and 283 freeways to focus growth in the corridor and relieve capacity restraints and to build out a true modern Regional Rail that network. In addition this in assembly further leverage by the states plan to connect the bay area with la and sacramento. The latter the second transbay crossing which could accommodate bart and allowed to [inaudible] as well as highspeed rail tracks and connecting caltrain capital corridor. We are multiple efforts underway at the mta and in the region. I am eager to add our local subway vision to this next in the few months. Finally, like to think my colleagues and the board of supervisors for placing the Charter Amendment setaside for transportation and Homeless Services on the November Ballot last week it would particularly think commissioner avalos and his staff collaborated with myself and with commissioner farrell and the Mayors Office always working together on this important legislation can we also have a separate general sales tax measure making its way to the board process as well as the bart general Obligation Bond which is already in place on about by the bart board of directors. Together, if approved by voters these funds provide critically needed revenues drop us repair our roads and Transit System to add muni service to make our streets safer and expand capacity on bart muni and caltrain among other improvements. The declining investment from the federal and state government, we must invest regionally and locally to move our priorities forward and make remain competitive. I look forward to working with all of you, colleagues and engaging the public on these measures this fall. With that, i conclude my remarks. I would also like to invite commissioner avalos and mar to say a few words. They tended to comments on behalf the Transportation Authority in early july. The 2016 local Promise National convening in pittsburgh so i invite them to provide a brief report during that about that conference. I think supervisor mar send me a photo of weiners world he saw in pittsburgh. Thank you for that. Commissioner avalos thank you. The conference was wide range of issues. Involving elected officials from all over the country with people from the south and the midwest northeast and west coast. A big part of our discussion was on equity and putting together strategies around equity to make sure making decisions that affect the longterm communities of color at. It seems like the issue we have in San Francisco of people in low income communities who do not receive the same level of service the same level of capital investment, is something that is happening all over the country. So, we shared about some of our work weve done here in San Francisco with the mta and their work of building in equity and their strategy around funding and around the work underline. That was pretty well received by other folks who are there representing other cities. Thank you. Think. Commissioner mar i just one at supervisor avalos thats down as one of the key leaders of local progress which is sponsored by center for popular democracy, but its Progressive City Council leaders from around the country and i think theres a lot of tremendous accolades for his leadership at the National Level could also, his using of San Francisco in the bay area region as a model for other City Councils to look at for model legislation am i think for the transportation justice and equity activists and leaders and city council people, they really were focused on a lot of our whole region in the bay area appreciative of all the stories but also examples of legislation we shared. There was a National Peoples convention as well with grassroots and communitybased organizations and we had a number of different receptions but also marches and dealing with the issues of transportation justice to displacement and other issues going on in pittsburgh and around the old east coast and midwest did i think was one of those gatherings that was historic of many of leaders come together at a critical time in our nations history to really raise the voices of many different communities of transportation justice and equity as a. Its an honor to be there but especially props to supervisor avalos. Think you. We will now move to Public Comments. If theres any Public Comment on the item to please come forward. This is on the chairs report. I am a citizen advisory committee. I have as you all know, i helped write 55 other devotionals i hope is in b cells tax package and when i was on the Citizens Advisory Committee i also helped write opposition k in the way i look at it as ive stated before, this initiative that you want to put on the ballot to raise the sales tax for transportation is not going to go work. For the simple reason that proposition k is a 30 year sales tax package in progress. People have already been twice taxed. Before you think about putting a sales tax package on the ballot, in november, for transit you have to figure out i know there are things that still have to be done, but before you do that, you should finish the project that are on proposition k before youonce prop k is finished then you can put a sales tax package on. If you want to eat lettuce sales tax on but as it is, the geary transit corridor they have the bart on the ballot part of prop k. It was a priority stream funding and that project was grandfathered for when it was put on prop k. Love the geary Rapid Transit Going Forward that supposed to be light rail ready. The people that wanted the geary light rail im getting it. Theyre not going to bethey mixed feelings about the best bus Rapid Transit on geary and you cantyou cant put geary out the dairy corridor out in the past. That geary corridor and the only corridor in the city does not have a light rail system and back when prop b was passed abuse he stated the only way to alleviate Traffic Congestion on geary boulevard is a light rail system, but it went nowhere. Think about that before you put another sales tax package on the ballot. Thank you. Thank you get any desyrel Public Comment on items you . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] we will move on to item 3 item 3 executive directors report. This is an information item commissioners this month i begin my report with an update from the state legislator legislative agenda. We see that gov. Brown has found the metropolitan Transportation Commission temporary license plate bills other by Assembly Member so we appreciate that. This bill requires new and used vehicles display temporary plates during the night between the pointofsale and when permanent license plates are issued. The authorities 802374 construction manager general contractor bill offered by david chiu is making its way through the legislature and were grateful to sen. Chiu with this assistance for that which was [inaudible] were expeditiously the chairman mentioned the project we want to think supervisor cohen and other members of our San Francisco delegation moving to electrification forward at the joint output to build on top of that the California State Transportation Agency in caltrans are developing eight 2040 Passenger Rail vision. We were pleased to meet with staff from those agencies who are working on a longterm vision for the entire state rail network comprised of four elements highspeed rail element, which of course links southern and northern california, and integrated Services Component which will complement highspeed system and move Public Transportation on the regional level and Complimentary Service and Transit District at the local level. I plan bay area 2040 will also be corrugated with that effort to the transit core capacity study our staff is working in collaboration with many other agencies in the bay area. This will of course include short medium and longterm improvements including potential second transbay two. The mtc staff will be presenting the draft plan bay area scenario preferred alternative to the commission this week on wednesday the 27th. We are evaluating that initial scenario and will be identifying any additional advocacy points to present to our commissioners and in coordination with other leaders in the bay area. One of the particular areas of focus is the socalled one bay area grant to policy conditions which are contemplating through our commissioners leadership potentially additional Affordable Housing policies for the program so we continue to monitor the progress on that to encounter with mtc staff. The mtc is also considering support for our Charter Amendment along with many other revenue measures in the region get i just want to thank you all again for your support of our charter members for transportation. Mtc other measures their tracking include the half cent sales tax in contra costa which i understand they did on the ballot last week santa clara counties also putting that one on the bart bond as chair mentioned an ac transit parcel tax. These are the ac transit parcel tax is i think oakland made also been considering a parcel tax as well. Yes, im sorry. Is the housing infrastructure bond measures are also making weight in alameda and Santa Clara County and the city of oakland. Thats why promising its great to see these local jurisdictions stepping up. Participating in the 2016 Automated Vehicle symposium was an honor to be on the program together with other industry and government leaders to talk about how we are going to help to optimize the benefits of the new technology while minimizing the potential impacts and negative effect that could also arise did the staff here potentially to the Vision Zero Coalition we working to integrate Autonomous Vehicles and to our policy metrics as part of our upcoming longrange planning efforts. Regarding the geary bus Rapid Transit project the staff here at sfmta eight are presenting a broad Outreach Campaign to engage and educate residents merchants and institutions along the corridor regarding his project which really has grown tremendously in scope to include not just the transit and Rapid Transit features but also the Pedestrian Safety and general infrastructure upgrades along the corridor. So it began as a Rapid Transit project is really turned into an overall complete corridor and complete streets and vision zero safety project as well. Well be launching a tech space survey to further engage the general public and bus riders and to follow on the federal transit administrations review of the document we anticipate bringing the final Environmental Impact statement and report in selection of the locally preferred alternative to this board for approval in the fall. Turning to project delivery come i want to emphasize if you progress updates on prop k project the seven lincoln intersection improvements were delivered by the sfmta eight making it easier for bicyclists to cross the busy lincoln weight constructed bicycle cut through as part of our intersection improvements in that area along seventh and lincoln. In addition, the barlett street suite improvements have also nearing completion. These were improvements that were prioritized in mission streetscape plan back in 2011 as well as the recent place making efforts in the Mission Community market area. So the Overall Program will include pedestrian bicycle and traffic Quality Improvement on barlett street as well as wider sidewalks and street lights and other furnishings in the area. Our prop k funds are continuing to fund the replacement of the sfmta vehicle fleet. During the Fourth Quarter of fiscal 16, sf mta placed 33 out of the 3700 diesel motor switches into service and 50 more electric trolley buses and since the contracts were approved back in 2014, that sums to about 159 new trolleys and other vehicles. So our prop k sales tax has provided about 30 of the funding for new vehicles and motor coaches and trolley buses so far. We are pleased to see that progress. Turning to pop aa we see in your hand out an update on our overall prop aa as well as many the projects completed put into the service. We allocate about 23 million to 21 projects across the program street categories of street repair, Pedestrian Safety and transit reliability. So, in keeping with the pop aa Small Projects and provide tangible benefits in the short term, weve seen nine of these projects open for use including for substantial street repair projects with the recent completion of dolores street weve also seen the mcallister street improvements near uc hastings, sidewalk and bicycle improvements along the boulevard in the presidio area as well as bart has completed the Civic Center Bart station and posit 24th st.

I have been sitting and working group since october of last year and since october of last year and i told them that before they bring anything to you they should bring it to the cac first. The commissioner wanted this that you you instigated and you started and i think you should continue it. Because before the sfmta eight tries to mess up the schedules again and put a new route and that sort of thing you should think about two things. Number one, the other 95 and also the fact that the warriors stadium and mission bay will be going up on appeal be brought to appeal. So, you have to think they have transportation plans for the board of mission bay but its right across the street from the hospital. They have ucsf shuttle going in there. They have Valet Parking for the hospital. Theres a lot going on.
