Be all modes that the enforcement needs to be all modes. But there is obviously for both enforcement and education that the drivers are the ones that can really do the greatest amount of damage. So we do have some focus there, but not exclusive by any means. Okay. Thats great to hear. I completely agree about increasing driver education. But i think i have expressed before as well as someone who does rise muni contrary to supervisor wiener i probably drive the most with my little kids, but people drive crazy around now, but bikes are running a muck now and people are driving with their heads down. I think it needs to be in all modes of transportation. I think we need to have that perspective. I agree with you that given the weight that cars have the ability to do the most damage, if we dont include you that in parts of our discussions, when people look at these things, thats the comment, its kind of a continued discussion just about the drivers when it needs to be about everybody in ou
Make this pedestrian and bicycle improvement, we help congestion muni. My seat was packed because it was a rainy day and everyone was squishy and everyone had their umbrellas and i thought most of these people probably walk or take their bikes, so as we improve the hot spots and the speaker mentioned the hot spots are impediment and we help our rush hour traffic on muni. One thing is you said about making it more available, could we look at this would this take how long will this take to create more opportunities for people to access them . I guess the point, is this something that we could approve of, but wouldnt be effective until january of next year or the following year. What were proposing would be to just allow the indexing to advance as it would for people paying cash, so if we did nothing related to clipper, and we didnt hold the single ride cash fair, it would be going to 225 anyway per your indexing card. It wouldnt be impacting anyone more so than what would be happening an
Calming. But its all as i said before oriented towards pedestrian safety. We have half of the 10year funding we need in the first five 5 years which is more or less on track and again because we are focusing on the highest injury corridors sections first we are getting early on in the walk of the implementation. Even though its half of the funding, we get more than half of the benefit because we are focusing that money where the collisions are the greatest. These are some of the elements that it is a lot of what we are talking about is engineering, the design changes in the street. But we are working with the ta and others on education components and continuing to support the Police Department in their efforts with regard to enforcement. In terms of the bike strategy, we have a whole presentation to talk about the bike strategy. There is a highlight what we estimated was a 6year need of 190 million for the strategic goals. What we anticipate is 160 million over the course of the 5 year
Assets, which are the bus he and the trains and the rails and the overhead wires and the signals and switches, making sure that those are in a state of good repair. That alone carries a price tag of about 250 million a year. We have about, i think its 12 billion worth of assets. So, we need to be investing in this level just to keep those cora sets in a state of good repair. ~ core assets other priority is safe and complete streets. I mentioned at the start the focus on bike and Pedestrian Safety, that really safety for all road users, those investments we need to make or can make to make the to redesign the streets to make them safer for all road users, thats a priority in this capital budget. And then the third and this relates back to the tep. There are changes that we can make in the public rightofway to make muni work better through the streets, dedicated lanes to muni, building out sidewalks so that the buses dont have to pull over to pick up passengerseses and then fight their w
