And more accessible and safer for people to access. Because much of the investment makes changes to the rightofway to protect muni to allow muni to move without having to move in and out of traffic, it also allows for changes on the street that make it safer for people to board muni and also make it safer for pedestrians in that area. Things like the bus boarding, the pieces of the sidewalk that kind of bulb out for Safety Improvement and reliability improvement. The other funding in this bond would go towards achieving the citys goal of vision zero which is a goal to reduce traffic fatalities to 0 by 2024 and really would put the majority of funding into Pedestrian Safety types of improvements. The bond itself does include a number of accessibility improvements. There is a heavy focus of the bond for elevator improvements at the shared muni downtown where the sclat escalators and elevators are. If that elevator is out of service and someone in a wheelchair has no way to access that st
There is a pretty clear criteria, there are basically check boxes with respect to the performance of that ride along. But yes, there is a recommendation made by the mentor at the conclusion of the ride about whether that person should be a driver. Thank you. All right. I have a quick comment piggy back on your conversation. The fact is that not only are tnc ruizing reducing the demand for taxis but robbing the drivers who can operate the vehicles with wheelchair lifts. They are being attacked on both ends. I just wanted to make that comment. You dont have to respond. I would like to move to staff. This is jonah from the Mayors Office on disability. You talked about the success of your model for people with certain disabilities. Do you have any statistics or numbers of percentage of deaf drivers versus folks with some other disabilities, do you keep track of those numbers . That is information i would love to have. Under the new changes to our app we will be able to start collecting dat
But all of our stops would be modified. There would be a minimum of eight 8 feet wide so they are all wheelchair accessible. Half of them are not accessible for the f. In the future all the stops will be modified to accommodate wheelchairs at all locations and in addition well be extending the islands to accommodate more buses. Some of the stops can only accommodate one or two buses at a time. On first street we have 85 burse in buses in an hour. By extending the bus stops to accommodate 3 or more vehicles at a time we can get people on the bus faster. When people are going in the same location. Going web, outbound, we know that people care where they are going, we want to make sure they get on the 5 or the 38 and that is the two buses which is our standard length throughout the city. This is a graphic that does not show up very well so i wont spend much time on it. I wanted to illustrate the differences between the proposed. Each stop is a blue circle or square. We have a fairly dense
Grows enough so that property tax rates can remain constant. You mean level . Right. Okay. The other question is about elevators in downtown. Why cant we add more elevators. It doesnt make sense to walk five 5 blocks to find a muni rate elevator that works. That is what we are trying to do. Thank you. Well move to Public Comment . Is there any comment from staff. I still want to say something. I think a suggestion is do you need to be some kind of social awareness out there or some sort of advertising where people that drive their cars need to know that in 15 years we are going to have a million more people and more cars on the road so if they are going to drive their cars to have more paengz passengers in their cars rather than just one. I think there needs to be some sort of social awareness just to let people know that. Yeah. Thank you. Director johnson . Just a quick comment. Thank you so much for your presentation. It was a very comprehensive and clear description of the process t
Task force to do this kind of research. How much people do right the tnc and taxis especially from the Disability Community. They claim that they are serving the Disability Community, but i dont think so. I have not seen one in my neighborhood. I less invasive live in the Disability Community neighborhood and i have not seen one picked up. To me this report thats coming out i think is really kind of bogus and i was there and you heard that. I do request that the mdc actually form a committee to look into this further and then write a letter to the c puc that says our finding is different from what they did. Its very important. We are all representing the Disability Community. We need to have clarification on those, thank you. Thank you. Do i have anymore Public Comment . All right. Is there anyone on the bridge line . Okay. Thank you, everyone. Well move on to the next agenda item which is the better mark street transit priority plan. I have simon from dpw and sf mta. Simon. Im going t
