President the street scape improvement is a collaborative project with the ms works and the utilitys commission. For the past two years theyve been working together to make crucial improvements to the inner sunset street scape and nearby Transit Services that not only make the area more vibrant and more accessible safe and reliable. When you look around the surrounding streets you see the vibrant landscapes that add to the neighborhoods charm improve seating as you can see visitor striving, new street trees. All of this creates a healthy environment and a great carbon footprint. What many do not see are the upgraded traffic signals, the repaved roads and all of the help to improve theed safety and transit service. Theres many components to this project that has not been seen. We have improvements to the underground sewer line and improvements to our water lines our firefightings were upgraded or replaced, all to increase capacity and to minimize any destructions that will provide more Reliable Service to the community. Also as a part of this project theres more than 3,000 feet of pipe that was installed for the department of technology for future fiber optic cables and this is a great partnership. As we do many projects on patrero were installing pipe and well have the pipes electric in and of course less destruction to the neighbor while the projects happen. With all of that said, it brings me great joy to see the work that all of these agencies are doing together and how we come together to improve the quality of life of this diverse neighborhood in San Francisco. San francisco. I want to thank john thomas and our project manager, johnny farm harlin kelly and his team from the puc and mr. Maguire and of course our contractor, who was out here everyday making sure that we got this job done. And now the person who helps to make all of these projects happen the person who makes our neighborhoods better for everyone the person looking out for the future of San Francisco, without future delay let me introduce our mayor london breed. [cheers and applause] its so good to be back. I remember when we first set on the path to do this project for this neighborhood, andrea i just noticed you were over there and its great to see you and martha and so many folks from the community. You all did the work because you wanted Something Better for this community. We have kids everywhere and these kids from stepping stone preschool are joining us today. And youll get your snacks in just a minute, so dont worry. [cheers and applause] we have kids, we have families seniors, people who basically, love this community and so many Amazing Restaurants so many amazing places to shop. This is like really a jewel in San Francisco and in fact, when improve was supervisor, i came to this community a lot to hideout and relax. And it was great. What was so important was to make it a lot offer annual and deal with safety and Public Infrastructure improvements. One of the things that i spent time with some of the neighbors doing is standing on the corner of ninth and irving and many of you know the familiar sound of some of the only old muni trains which still come through this way, how loud and heavy they are. Remember i said the new trains will be much quieter. Did you just hear how much quieter the new trains are . A lota lot of the promises to this community are finally happening and it was because of your patience. We know that it was very challenging to come in and the construction and the loss of parking and tearing up the streets and digging in and you all, through this whole challenge, you were very patient and we really appreciate that because now we are here realizing just really a dream for community an improvement to the sidewalks an improvement to the infrastructure and an improvement to our water pressure system so that when there is a fire or emergency the pressure i know this is not probably that interesting but it makes all the difference when dealing with any emergency that water suppression and our equipment and the systems actually work when we need it the most. The fiber optic cables, improvements to the sidewalks, all of the Amazing Things that will make this community not just safer but more boost and sobeautiful. I want to thank the inner sunset park neighbors, at the time of the leadership of andrea yaguin, that you pushed us to give some attention to this community and shine a light on the challenges that exist here is why were here as well as the inner sunset merchants association. The merchants here who serve the community, this is really not just a place where so many neighbors enjoy and eat and go to the Hardware Stores and pick up glasses. People from ucfs spend a lot of time here during lunch and people from the park spend a lot of time here and this community has come together as a force to make amazing projects like this happen. So im really excited. Looking forward to doing even more because i have not forgotten about the wires over on ninth and irving and what we need to do to underground those wires. I know thats important and were talking about right down the street, the gateway on gateway on lincoln and ninth and to really transform this community because its a jewel in our community. Thank you to the department of public works to mta all of the contractors, all of incredible workers who basically not only worked in this community but spent money at the restaurants and this was definitely a great effort and took time and here we are a celebration of just really an amazing project that is going to change the quality of life for the residents who live here. So enjoy it and next up, i want to take the opportunity to introduce your supervisor valley brown who as you remember was out here on a regular basis working with you all to move this project forward. She drove me a little crazy because she was running out of patience with the city bureaucracy and trying to get it done. And now she gets to enjoy the fruits of her labor. Ladies and gentlemen your supervisor valley brown [cheers and applause] you know what they say what doesnt kill us makes us stronger and thats how i feel about this project. I want to say im sorry to everyone. It was her fault. She started it and then i had to come in and finish it right . [ laughter ] yeah im not going go over everything weve done because i know mohamed nurue gave you all of the sexy details. But what i see is this neighborhood coming together and saying ok, this is painful and especially the merchants but we know once its finished, it will be amazing and 21 million later, yeah, it looks Pretty Amazing id say. I want to thank people and i have to read this because i always forget one person and then i get in trouble after wars. Afterwards. So thank you mayor breed for starting it, city administrator naomi kelly and mohamed nurue from public works. I mean this is something i have to say was he really jumped in and said, lets make this happen and lets make it as less painful as we can. Acting director for sfmta tom mcguire and San Franciscos puc. I would call everyone on this list and said if there was a pile of dirt and they couldnt park their car at 7 00 at night. So the responsiveness of their teams were amazing. I want to thank all of their teams because every week we had an issue whether it was the veterinarian or people getting dirt in their driveway and couldnt park their car. Park driveway, this is all things that they really stepped up. I put 75k into budget so we could do a Pilot Programme called curb management. And this something i would think about because barbara i dont know where barbara is from the neighborhood she would tell me everyday when i walked by her house how we had people parking in her driveway or doubleparking to run in and get the ubers and stuff to get the food from the merchants. We said, how can we solve these issues . They said, parking is so horrible here. I heard that, no [ laughter ] with these parking so really having to look at creatively looking at curb management so were in the process of right now of actually having a Community Engagement of this curb management and how do we make it easier for people to park and easier for businesses to have people be able to come in and get what they need and get out so theyre not parked there for hours. How do we, you know, get the uber eats and all of the other deliveries where they have a place to park and can get in and out so theyre not parking in barbaras driveway . So this is actually happening now and once again the inner sunset park neighbor and merchants are at the tables saying well work with you and this is the only way i like to work because i came as a neighbor activist and i didnt like it when people did things in my naked and neighborhood and found out when i walked out the door that it was done. So thank you to everyone for being here today. Im really excited for all of the work thats done. Its amazing. And should i bring up naomi . Naomi so now i would like to introduce naomi kelly a city administrator. This was her baby to manage, all of the different people to make sure it was done right. And so naomi. Thank you. [cheers and applause] thank you supervisor brown and mayor breed and director of public works. This project has more meaning to me because i live in the neighborhood. I spend so much time here on these corners going to amazing fantasy with my kids, burn sf jamba juice you name it, so i live through the construction and understand the merchants and the pain you went through. But boy did this turn out beautiful ive been to many scape improvements in different commercial corridor and i have to say these seats and planters are some of the best ive seen in all of San Francisco. So you all did a great job on that. [cheers and applause] again, i want to thank mohamed nurue and john thomas is completing this project because it was done on time. Public works delivers many Key Construction projects throughout the city and having it done on time so were not disrupting the merchants for longer than we should is very important. You heard this specific project was 21. 3 million and its connect the to residents and were more resilient. As chair of the tenyear Capital Plan Committee we have done a lot to make sure that we have coordinating our projects. It was putting in our new sewer lines and water line and thats important for someone who lives in this neighborhood because i can tell you where every sinkhole was. I was drawing diagrams and handing it to the sf puc saying these are the most important parts to touch in the sunset. Underground weve put in more than 4,000 the mayor is right. That was the large effort budget item at 7. 3 million. Along for the water and sewer line to appreciate upgraded protection for this community in case of a potential earthquake. Also ground underground we put in municipal fiber providing secure signals to this community. At the street level pedestrian and muni riders will see improvements as you can see with the curb ramps and that was approximately 5. 7 million. But not just here in the inner sunset aisles, but public works have resurfaced 644 blocks across the city this year and we Work Together as one city connected, and im pleased to introduce tom maguire the interim director of transportation. [cheers and applause] its great to be here and celebrate the puc public works city administrator and the elected officials who helped get the funds together and get the wills together to make this happen and the street scape is basically but when i look at it i dont just see beautiful planters and trees but safety. I see muni riders getting on and off trains going by and we see them getting off on a nice, safe sidewalk. Theyre not getting off into traffic like they do elsewhere in the city and this is the experience we want. We know this is the lifeline of the sunset, one of the busiest corridors and the streets in this area are some of the streets that are high injury vision zero and we want to make sure transit riders are safe, not just on their journey on the trains but when we get on and off on beautiful street scape. So thank you to the community for your patience as we have been working with our fell lets agenciesfellowagencies to get this built and thank you to everyone who fought for the funding and fought for the design to get this project done. Thank you. Now after listening to all of us after im sure youre bored i want to bring up andrea jabli to give her viewpoints of this project as a neighbor thank you. To the people who live here and work here and the merchants who come here, we didnt just do this as a photoop. We did it because there are two important reason for people in this neighborhood to have this happening and one is the muni, the end juda will be faster. Youll get to work faster and home faster and anyone who does that everyday understands how important that is. Its also going to be safer for you. Now youre not going to be hit by cars trying to squeeze in between the boarding ramps. Most importantly ninth avenue and irving is an intersection that is painful for people who walk around this neighborhood on a frequent basis. Youre sometimes stopped at a light for up to two and a half minutes while waiting for trains to come and go and bikes muni all that stuff. Now that the stops have been reconfigured so that the buses get through the light before they have to stop, that intersection will be so much more pleasant for all of us to experience. So thats why were here and why we did it and everyone who has put up with the noise and all of that give yourself a round of applause. [cheers and applause] thank you lets give the project is big hand. This is a great improvement. Our mayor is challenging us to continue do more projects like this and public works and the partnership with all of the agencies will continue to deliver for you. So with that said we will cut the ribbon and so, where is the ribboncutting team here . We have behind us. And would the folks like martha, barbara and other Community Members feel free to come up and cut this rib bin. Ribbon. This is for your community and we want to make sure youre a part of it.
