Slide probably got caught because its too early to talk about specifics but i will say that in many years of transportation advocacy and its the most thing beautiful thing ive seen so thank you to the Staff Members who made that and i hope to see a version of it and i also would like to thank and shake my fist at director equal oeaken because we can usea visionary vision and for both the transit lane networks. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Next speaker, if you can let us know your name and Start Talking, well start your time. My name is robin and i would like to comment on the commercial district curb management programme. Here, our sidewalks are six feet wide and we have lots of essential businesses like grocery, restaurants doing take out, et cetera. That narrow sidewalk with our physical distancing requirements means it should be a one way sidewalk. Sidewalk. In reality we have movement and cues forming in front of essential businesses. We used to have an extended sidewalk on the block between haven hill which enabled pedestrians to use the former car parking lane to safely walk down a wider sidewalk and maintain six foot distance. Its come to my attention we are reverting that extended sidewalks back into parking spots due to requests. Tens of thousands of people live within walking distance of that Commercial Area and want to spend money with those businesses myself included. Its not safe skwaking and i spoke to sfmta i was told the six foot rule is going to be relaxed soon anyway and i was also told when the parking structure emily people can hop into them and order to avoid lines on the sidewalks. These are Non Solutions and this is poor use of our valuable curb phase and our physical distancing needs on this narrow sidewalk have not gone away so why has the extended sidewalk gone away. Some merchants believe theres no business with no Parking Spaces but in a walking city like San Francisco and on a beautiful flat street its not true. People like serve thousands of poem who did not own a car and com verting that space back into Parking Spaces will serve far viewer customers for those business. Its detrimental to economic recovery and its in district contrast to sfmta to goals. Please bring back the extended sidewalks. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, if you could just start by telling us your name. We will start your two minutes timer. Good afternoon. My name is kenneth russell. Im a member of walk San Francisco. First, thank you for your leadership. I want to especially thank director tumlin i provide and support the job he is doing. Going back a few months, no one can predict these challenge and i recognize the quantity of things that sfmta has to juggle and commend you for it. I live in the southwest portion of our city east of lake merced. I walk and ride my bike around here as well as through the city. I want to live in a city where we take walking and biking and transit more seriously than enables private automobiles to get around the city. Every time i push the button to walk or bike across brotherhood way i think about that. Every single time i walk or bike across garfield street or walk or bike against holloway avenue where theres no crosswalks or stop signs, i think about those. Im excited to see the bike improvements being discussed around lake merced and see us making and address particular so those of us who live east of lake mer said can get there safely on the bike. You will notice the complete lack of bike lanes or even bike routes on that part. As we bike around, safety is my concern. My partner is new to biking in the city and i worry about situations like dooring, which we had that tragic reminder of the consequences of this danger just the other week. I want to live in a city where people dont have to worry about the safety of their loved ones because our streets work for all bikers and walkers. Not just fear less seasoned bike riders. The great highway becoming the great walkway say wonderful example of what is possible. Im calling into ask sfmta to act urgently to prevent a surgery and severe and fatal traffic crashes and i support the recommendations to make everyone safer on our streets now and we must press forward in our commitment to do this work. Next speaker, please. So please give us your name and well start your two minutes. Ill do better about giving. Yes, this is barrie toronto again. I just wanted to say that i think its important to probably definitely add more buses on the popular lines. Also, do a better job of communicating with the ridership about when the next bus is coming to improve the communication. I notice the other night when they changed the routes schedules due to the curfew and due to the protests and looting, the riders were not given information about what was happening. Again, i want to say that if you are going to continue to do slow streets, there has to be someway of going online and finding out and what areas the slow streets exist and taxi drivers, we dont use g. P. S. In the city and we dont need to. And so, im hoping also that you can continue the etc and for people who dont currently have paratransit and are using the essential trip cards and the mayor supports these programmes because the mayor has not helped promote these programmes so im hoping that you will continue to promote them and also to promote the fact that they have dividers, plastic dividers now and you can provide more sanitation and disinfectant supplies. So we can keep our caps clean and assist us with that process. Time for your time. Next speaker, please. Next speaker please, give us your name and Start Talking and well set your twominute time limit. Good afternoon, directors. This is Jason Henderson again. Im the chair of the hvna transportation and Planning Committee and cochair of the market in octavia. The help plan, which youve all probably read up on, is supposed to be a transit oriented plan but before the pandemic, the buses were packed. Now we cant crowd the buses. The current iteration of the hub plan does not reflect your thinking that was presented today and what were actually excellent presentations. You got to go to the board of supervisors now and workout the details especially with transit. You need to design a bicycle district. You need to connect hayes valley from the north to the mission to the south. Right now, you cannot easily bicycle north south. When you get to valencia and market you have goth and franklin. Streets like buchanan and laguna have become car sewers. Right now cars are speeding around with aggression popping around to get onto the freeway system. These would make excellent candidates for slow streets. Franklin and goth are flat and extend into very dense, high rates of tenants and high intensity of land uses. We need fully separated cycle tracks on both of those streets. And lastly, please take a look at haite and shut off freeway access. Thank you and also, consider metring. Not just congestion pricing but metring city wide to control the volumes of traffic using the signals and other kind of control measures. This is done in cities in europe and it would work really well here especially in the post pandemic situation. Have a nice evening. Next speaker, please. Begin talking and we will start your two minutes when you give us your name or just Start Talking. My name is peter and i live i have two kids and i bike with one to school in soma and first, you mentioned that the idea of philanthropy and free bikes so you dont have to reinvent the wheel theres a vehicle called the bike match network and you can google it and the system and tock knowledge hatechnology hasf there are donors, bikes that you are aware of, this relatively new bike match network could be the great vehicle to make it happen and i want to highlight the walk sf recommendations and second, i urge sfmta to quick build a city wide connected and protected network of bike lanes and intersections and director equal on pointed out beer not there yet as for the map that she asked for, if you go to change. Org sfbikelanes, i just have this petition up last week and it contains one idea of what that connected and protected City Wide Network looked like. And if you go to the San Francisco streets blog and look up my last name, belden, you will see an oped from a month ago about that network. The fabulous slow streets network could be part of this and to me slow streets are protected and we know this because of the great gender parity and age diversity that we see within the slow streets which is a good marker of the feeling of safety on that. There are cycles that arent aware of the existing network that we have so putting this slow streets on the sfmta bike map and indicating theyre part of that network would help and we need to have protected intersections. I think about the fall and going from to lick with one of our kids for high school, there are too many gaps in that network so we need a city wide connected and protected network. Next speaker, please. Give us your name and well start your time when you Start Talking. Hi, my name is kevin burke and i live in mission. This is a good plan. You should do it. The speed is going to be your friend. The the better off you will be and if you wait to do it until after traffic returned everyone is going to be muni and crowding already crowded streets but if you do it before traffic you will help support input on the roads. Some specific points i think bike lanes would be a great inside and i bike on the road all the time. Theres a fair amount of double parking which means you have to go to the travel lanes. I feel safer if theres bus drivers next to me instead of whatever random cars are driving by. Broadly speaking the city is under charging for parking metres and under charging for metre parking. If you worry about revenue from specific metres, i hope you can make it up by adding more metres, adding metres on sunday or raising prices in general and in particular the northeast Mission Parking management project theres one proposal with more parking metres and one with fewer. You could commit to supporting the plan with more metres would be a go ahead idea and reading through the slides and listening to this discussion im sad so much of the focus has been on the idea we can only do Public Transit with everyone on the bus being six feet apart. Over all where you know, people are Walking Around with masks on their chins or masks not covering their noses and we can be doing better throughout the city to promote a message of publichealth and the importance of mask wearing. Thank you for your comments. We will start the time when you Start Talking. If you could start by giving us your name, that would be appreciated. Its hayden miller. I really appreciated this whole plan. It seemed very well thought out. Like other commenters have said, its very important that we move on it quickly. Some suggestions i have for potential areas for improvement would be the 44 when its going just right as its approaching the bart station at glen park going towards the richmond district, it sees a lot of congestion right before it goes under san jose avenue and the 282 freeway there. I dont know if thats just a big area of congestion and also on the 28r, between sf state, also in the p. M. Going towards the richmond and other things we could look into are extending the bus zones along the lincoln way to the 7 line. It moved to 60footer buses but a lot of the bus zones along lincoln are not long enough to accommodate those buses so either you have that front door out where it cant put the ramp out safely or you have the back of the bus sticking into the intersections both of which are not safe. Also, extending the island that first stop after the Transit Centre at market and free mont. Right now it can only accommodate like 160footer bus and 140footer. That last another 60foot bus the back door hangs into the lane of traffic so you cant use the back door safely like that. Those would also help. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. If you could just Start Talking well set your two minutes. Hi, this is adam out in soma. I love the idea of a lot of the ideas ive been hearing. I would say the Biggest Issue that sfmta has had in the past and still has is just talking to the community. Come out and talk to us and make it easy for us to get a hold of you. Theres a lot of us that are happy to engage that would love slow streets and soma, we would love to make sure the streets are not overburdened the problem is as another speaker alluded to earlier when we call sfmta we get the Public Relations folks or the Public Comment line and we get pushed off. We get ignored. Our building, 300 units, they have been pushed off to the side and its not easy to get you have bus lanes and you have bicycle lanes but you let cars park in the like lanes and you get cars drive in the bike lanes and you let cars stop in the middle of the lakes blocking cross traffic. Theres zero enforcement which destroys any planning. We dont understand why you dont do enforcement. We call for enforcement and it takes three or four hours to get, if were lucky, half the time we dont even get enforcement. Remove parking to allow for safe transit and enforce the bike lanes enforce the bus lanes and you could easily have an officer on third street and an officer on fourth and bryant they would pay for themselves and tickets. We dont know why you dont do enforcement. What is the sfmtas opposition to enforcing the regulations that are here to make traffic work rather than letting it be a free for all. If you want to snow slow streets suggestions talk to us, weve got ideas you could use right now in soma. We have no slow streets and we would love them. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. So speaker, if you can Start Talking. My name is brian and i walk San Francisco vision zero organizer and member of the senior and disability workgroup. We really appreciate all walk San Francisco all that you are doing to keep us moving safely, specifically thank you for this work to speed up muni service and the transit only lanes and so we can actually keep levels high and we know that this is critical not only for public and the pandemic but also for publichealth related to the citys vision zero goal and in terms of ways making it safe to walk we appreciate the slow Streets Programme and know its great for some areas and for many trips especially those to and from transit we need to make sure the high Entry Network actually becomes safe requiring some other tools likely cost safety zones and left turn and we hope the sfmta will be meant to use. One of the things in addition to the considering the expansion of bike share, i do want to encourage the sfmta to think about how the adaptive Bike Share Programme can return and be expanded especially considering slow Streets Programmes and places like the great highway that are now completely free of cars, i want to make sure we dont forget about Community Members who can enjoy these places if they are accessible options available. Thank you so much. Thank you. All right. Next speaker, if you can give us your name and Start Talking, we will set your two minutes. Good afternoon. Chair board and members, dupres here again. My pronouns are she and her for the record. Good plan, lots of good things, im going to take a fresh approach. All electronic towing is essential. We must continue with that work. I do support some kind of a congestion pricing. Cars are very expenses and they take up a lot of space so i support metring. I lived successfully without a car for 11 years and still havent found a need to rent one. I definitely support an expanded bike Share Network and more scooter options. All of these bikes, every bike in this network should be electric because you can use the clipper card. All cars that diverse the bridges should drive through them and pay using a website and all people who ride on buses and trains should be able to use clipper or an app to pay for things. Its time to move away from ways of doing business. Even the subway. Are there any additional speakers on the line . Hold on, madam chair. All right. Madam chair, it seems like we do not have we have two more speakers. All right. So please give us your name, speakers and well start your times. As soon as you Start Talking. Thank you. Hi, good afternoon, board of directors and chair boredden. This is cat carter with San Francisco transit riders. First, i want to thank you for the top of the meeting and starting that conversation about working to address the racist legacy of our city and of the agency. You are opening comments were very compelling and i lock forward to more reporting on and discussion about how we can Work Together to confront racism. Second, i want to elevate what we said in the letter we submitted we want to expedite transit across the city as soon as possible before our streets get choked again before covid19. Row liability is the access needed to help address racial inequity and its a race and justice issue and lets get relief from punishing transit delays. We need to ensure the people we know now are essential to the function of our society and get to jobs and their homes as quickly as possible as others have mentioned plenty of times, fast, reliability muni service is a publichealth issue and environmental issue and Public Safety issue. We have a rapid Rider Campaign to work for a crisscross the city connecting all comments. With 30 by 30 we discussed a functioning muni Network Rather tha
