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. 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,
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 foundation and partnership for a healthier america. And well be doing the play streets event so that will be held in the tenderloin, chinatown, bayview, and the western addition. Were still wo
Just the mta staff, but planning department, city attorneys office. We had the Economic Development folks involved, the building inspection, really everybody coming together in a pretty extraordinary way and under an extraordinary timeline. So, what were happy to be bringing to you, a proposed lease that we were close to having done in time for last meeting, have now since gotten done. Didnt want to bring it to you until it was signed by the other party, and until the initial Planning Commission approvals or the Planning Commission approvals were in place, which we secured last thursday in this room that they approved i think three different pieces of legislation. And the special use district they approved will advance to the board of supervisors, Land Use Committee this coming monday. So, were well positioned now for consideration of this lease. The basic terms of the lease are i think summarized well in the report. There is two years of rent. Its a twoyear lease with a 400,000 annual
