A more robust way. All of the gaskets were replaced again under warranty. So that we didnt have water in the cameras. The second issue that were experiencing and that were still troubleshooting is in some instances, the cameras will freeze or pixelate, requiring them to bring the train in or have a mechanic review it. We would never operate a train without fully functioning monitors. So we are working through those issues, as we experience them. But they are software related. Chair peskin thank you for your candor around all of those issues. We have a number of people for Public Comment. Commissioner walton. Supervisor walton thank you so much, chair peskin, and thank you for your presentation. A few questions this is just for my clarity, it may sound like a silly question. As were working through the improvements and get ising to a point getting to a point of ordering new vehicles, are they redesigning and making the improvements on the vehicles we order in the future, that were curre
Safia, my apologies. Supervisor safai i was not going to say anything. I just have to say that the issue with using the emergency brake to essentially, you know, run out the tires, it would be great if we could get maybe someone, a representative from the transit operators to come in here and talk to us as well. Id like to hear their perspective. I understand that management doesnt want to take that risk. Were also putting millions of dollars worth of vehicles on the line. And not exactly sure if its true that they cant do a twoarm motion and why were doing that. No disrespect to miss kirschbaum. It sounds absolutely crazy to me that were using an emergency brake. If i use the emergency brake to stop my car every time i got a red light, a car would last probably about three weeks. So i really dont understand why this is the method that were using. Chair peskin commissioner, you are making a very good point. Im hereby asking our staff to recheat to the representatives, the appropriate r

I am a pastor at First Mennonite Church of San Francisco and i live in the mission. Im also a leader with faith in action. This sunday, i am preaching from the book of amos, and you are welcome to come, everyone is welcome to come, where the prophet gives warning to those who trample on the needy and bring ruin to the poor. He is mad because the wealthy are turning everything into a commodity and using false measures to turn a profit. As a pastor in San Francisco, it is sadly quite easy to make the connections to what is happening today. In a way, it has been happening here since the 17 hundreds, way more than three decades ago. It has been happening to those who are not in the owning class. First in the name of the Spanish Mission to exploit the people inland, then in the name of the United
On the bredas, it requires the twostep movement. And what we found, several years ago, is that operators could not do that movement quickly and reliably in the face of an immediate danger. So we went through a very big campaign. It was titled, you know, the mushroom is not poisonous. The mushroom is your friend. We basically invested all of this training and muscle memory for our operators to hit that emergency button. I am not willing to try to ask our operators to modify that muscle memory, whether or not theyre in a breda or an lrv4. Were continuing to emphasize pushing the mushroom for safety reasons, as were in this process of using a mixed fleet. But that being said, given the frequency that were seeing emergency braking, we had four instances last week alone. We do think we need to pursue a design change, so that we are not losing vehicle availability as a result. Chair peskin thank you for those answers. And we look forward to our next update. And good luck particularly around
