Which was rubber stasmd by mta and sanctioned by this board and you all should be ashamed. In addition i would like to have a response from mr. Hailey from my email about switchbacks. Its been two months and his response is slower than a muni bus. Thank you. Next speaker please. Nick kemora, kelly cutler. I am nick and volunteer with the coalition on homelessness and here with solidity with the Community Living in their vehicles currently experiencing displacement crisis as a result of the over sized pilot parking ban and i am here to summarize some issues i realize that were not in the agenda but the outreach was supposed to be done by the sf hot team but we are getting reports that sfpd are doing the outreach and handing out the fly ares and reaching out to the vehicles and we believe this is a terrible strategy and increases police mar rasesment and the fear of being displaced by the police. Second, tickets have been written to People Living in their vehicles. From what we heard you
Signal control and vehicle procurement. On the in line with the vehicle procurement as part of our regular vehicle Replacement Process the project will be picking up 38 of the new coaches that the agency is getting for brt service. 23 of those will be 60foot trolley coaches and 15 of those will be 60foot motor coaches which will upgrade the 47 line to 60footers and allow for increased capacity of the 47 line. The project is currently estimated to run about 125 million in design and construction dollars. We have between 105 and 108 million in funding at the moment and that involves negotiation with cal trans and other agencies exactly what their contribution to the project will be, so there is a funding gap that were working to close. And finally where are we now on the project . Were finishing the eir eis, the environmental process and expect a decision from the federal government in september of this year. Weve already started preliminary engineering and are working on what the mta re

Weve already started preliminary engineering and are working on what the mta refers to as conceptual engineering report and essentially 30 design that will help lock down the final costs of the project as well as the total scope of work of the project, and we will be doing extensive outreach to basically everybody, the public, other city departments and other agencies to make sure that that 30 report includes everything that need
Ive evolved in my understanding about transit work, i also started to figure out this is one of the most expensive systems to run and the way to move our transit, to move folks around the city. When i learned about this particular project, i couldnt be more excited. The member that stood out for me more than anything else was the 30 percent reduction of operations cost and the way that we would run service along this line. As you all know very well, this particular project has tremendous potential to be a parodyne shift for the way we run transit in San Francisco. The kind of shift Something Like the bart system itself was or like any of the streetcar systems in the past and or the light rail Vehicle Systems that we have. This system itself effectively could become the way that we redo the way that we move around San Francisco and im thinking about van ness, im thinking about 19th avenue, maybe lombard, mission, all of these corridors that are yearning that we really need to improve or
Legislation and while it is called a Pilot Project we continue to hold concern that this is not a Pilot Project but rather a fast track city wide ban on over night park against homeless families and individuals. We are concerned that all future decisions will only center the voices of the city powerful Business Owners and city officials and leaving out the voice of those impacted by the policy and policy changes. We have some immediate steps and sliewtionz that mta could implement to support the needs of Homeless People currently living in their vehicle. Number one, create a mechanism to drop tow changes as a result of this policy. Number two have an assessment of parking in San Francisco and outline where signs are posted and parking for over sized vehicles are still available. In addition we would ask this information be made public and accessible so folks can identify safe places to park their homes. Number three, reconsider all parking parking policies that negatively impact famili
