I have two things actually. First of all, i want to bring up at our policy and governance meeting on friday we had a good presentation from enforcement commander regarding muni safety date a. It was impressive the level of data they have and how theyre able to use it to try and increase safety on the buses. So, im wondering do we have or will we be getting that same level of data for bike and Pedestrian Safety . I know its not as easy to gather since i think a lot of those muni calls either involve the police or are 311 calls. But it would be interesting to know if that same level of data exists for bike and ped because it can help in our safety quest. We can ask [speaker not understood] reiskin. One other item. I feel that from our day long strategy meeting that we may have left some sort of hanging Unanswered Questions from staff, particularly on the bicycle strategy where on the last page we were asked if we wanted to ask staff to focus on hot spots or corridors. And we dont obvious
Five years ago and has really now spread across the city. Weve had a full season of events proposed. As of this date weve got approval for the first four of them which will be that first embarcadaro route which will be march 10th. The route through Mission Street or the more popular ones on april 14th. The bayview on june 9th and the great highway on july 7th. And as the rest of the calendar gets secured and approved, well bring it back. Well bring information back to the board. In addition to sunday streets is a new component thats going to be added into the mix this year called play streets. I mentioned this a while back that when the grant award for play streets came through, but its a Pilot Program of four smaller one to two block events, also featuring carfree streets. Particularly in targeted areas where Health Disparities are high and open space is limited. So, its kind of like a targeted mini version of sunday streets. The funding is provided by the Blue Cross Blue Shield found
Mark gruberg followed by [speaker not understood] zamud. Mr. Gruberg. Again, to continue and conclude along the lines i was speaking of before, despite the fact that the cpuc has a rule making proceeding going on, you still have jurisdiction over people who are providing illegal services in San Francisco that are, you know, the equivalent of taxi services. If you didnt have that jurisdiction, you couldnt stop somebody in their private car who was picking up on the street either. So, all the drivers in these companies which are violating the law, the drivers themselves are also violating the law. And im not suggesting that, you know, a 5,000 citation. I think it might be nice to start issuing some warnings to them and, you know, give them a few weeks to get their act in order and then start issuing some citations. I think this is completely within the realm and scope of your authority to do. I think in the Public Interest you should do it. And i hope you will. The other thing i wanted t
Staff, particularly on the bicycle strategy where on the last page we were asked if we wanted to ask staff to focus on hot spots or corridors. And we dont obviously cant stay with us. Discuss it today, but i wonder if we need to come back and retouch on that. It occurred to me on this weekend when i was riding that we have a bike strategy, we have a pedestrian strategy, but we dont really have a corridor strategy yet, which i know will evolve out of those two strategies. But, again, i worry that weve not given good direction about how, when it comes to transit, bikes and pedestrians and private automobiles, how are we actually going to prioritize them and how are we going to treat them at an intersection like church and duboce where everybody is going through there. Again, i feel like we may have left that hanging a little bit. We can ask director reiskin to come back. Other members of the board, questions or comments . New business or Unfinished Business . Okay, seeing none, well go t
Happy to announce the fifth season of sunday streets which starts just a few weeks away. March 10th is the kickoff for our festive season. Sunday streets is presented by the sfmta and its nonprofit partner livable city with support from the Mayors Office and a lot of other city departments. A lot of people come together to make sunday streets happen every year. As you know, sunday streets promotes open car free space for Healthy Family oriented activities, and also a chance to explore San Franciscos diverse neighborhoods. It started out on the embarcadaro, the first pilot five years ago and has really now spread across the city. Weve had a full season of events proposed. As of this date weve got approval for the first four of them which will be that first embarcadaro route which will be march 10th.
