francisco and yes, ma'am emphasis with the atheist daylight driven proposal for the commission to consider the benefits an circling diverse community but i'm here in strong opposition to the rpp q it is reiterated over and over again how a process that allows a small portion of an effected area to drive something sfard forward t is flawed with the stakeholders is a real, real problem and issue it has been stated over and over again and about the process that hadn't been mentions the counting toward parking stock of one space perish garage ingress that is a real problem there when you count parking stock and use that as a criteria in our. >> (repeated.) >> the constitution of the united states. process but use a finger in figure in the calculation you're going to arrive at problematic results so one thing space for garage egress you're not looking at a report that creates a rb p eligible area other things i want to mention is that creating a protective class with people who bind to a permit are buying into a lens a directing a day where the residents have to pay in excess of $200 a most that is an inequality people should compete on the streets for equal money. >> (calling names). >> k5eg9 had to go move her car put her at the bottom (calling names). >> good afternoon i'm opposed this because the government mta stepped in two late and also you charging hundred and $10 a year is too low because of the time change everything else change people that want to live in alleyway month miscarries is a lot of tourists coming and so you have to charge more money for the permit and also cut down the one hour parking only because we allow the tourist i live in bay area but sit with my doggy should have a right to do that this neighborhood i tell them they have to pay the price of parking and the neighborhood noted belong to them that are coming for the charge they coming for the pray to god they have to pay but please put one more ball to the ground so you have to build the under ground parking you'll get all the money back and the panhandle under the panhandle park underground thirty floors everybody can park everything you're doing our spaces we had more people coming out every 4.3 second one baby coming out every 16 seconds one management or baby in america maybe you don't know the number with care and everybody is united we say alamo their out there fighting the mexican guy coming i'm a chinese but i like to call everything thank you (clapping.) (calling names). >> hi, i'm marching jean robertson been here since 19 of 9 and my agreement over 16 years with rent control no garage so there's 5 spaces that have no garage and one of the things i find most problematic about the process that we have here is that when i was working for supreme court i worked from 9 to 5 my problem was finding parking when i got home so this makes absolutely no sense to me i would like if we're going to have residential parking permits it's not from 9 to 5 that is it for people that live in the neighborhood looking for parking when they come home so that's basically all i'm going to say i really have a problem with the fact that you only have one vehicle per store i i know that our neighborhood store in my building has several people that have to go unload and load up you know and share - very e they have 3 vehicles to use for the store they have workers to work at night you can't have one car for the entire thing so that's the other issue thank you. >> thank you, ms. r0r7b9 son. >> (calling names) and those are the last speaker cards. >> good afternoon barry want to point out have you noticed the people that love the parking live there loneliness the people that live there because they can't afford to move there this is my farther district look who are the first district supervisors making thoul that is all and chris 10 and symsomehow didn't seem to represent people that are a lot of them are all over the and low income 0 folks that live above the poverty level and can't afford to pay the fees and a lot of them work at night and in service jobs why do you - what dakota took them so long because of the people that live through maybe bifurcate it to the folks but leave it alone or go back to the drawing board two issues one that don't have r vp it effects the people that live there for a long time it is important to realize to have it go to 8:00 p.m. at night is ludicrous it goes to 10 o'clock you can't enforce it if you're going to hire more pcos to get people out of the taxi zones by the time you arrive it is an hour and the person is moved your staffing levels are ludicrous you enforce it to 8 o'clock at night it shouldn't go to 6 in that particular area thank you. >> (calling names). >> hello i'm kathleen wade i support the area q parking permit my husband and i have been there for over 10 years we send time at alamo square park we are investing in our neighborhood and encouraged by the embarcadero corridor, however, that comes with the parking issues we need cars for our park we don't have a garage when we first moved to our home we were challenged to find a parking of 15 minutes or less and spend 45 minutes or more sometimes parking over 10 blocks away from our neighborhood in addition, we live on the block of embarcadero and it is effected by the sweeping and the meters along the block according to the occupancy scare 91 percent of the spaces are occupied and 61 are occupied by non-recipe why should people with no ties to our neighborhood b be allowed to occupy the spaces in our neighborhood? (clapping) the proposed area q will allows us to park in our own neighborhood in close proximity to our home and 9:00 p.m. will give us time to have a chance to find parking and will reduce our stress at the end of our work days i wanted to address the church community they said they're working on addressing the complicated process they should be included and phase two to address the issues that are perplex thank you for supporting our process >> the last person that turned in a speaker card on this. >> (calling names.) >> good afternoon commissioners i'm quinton i'm an 18 residents of alamo scare what a fascinating process i want to be clear and correct mr. johnson and as my neighborhood o did he believe pointed out this didn't start with the neighborhood this idea and suggestion started with our staff they proposed it as a solution to the concerns over the fell street bike lanes being installed and the parking meter being solved it will solve a range of issues go and get r vp and it will solve the issues it 90 was not property by folks i want went back and the original person a series of e-mails that tom sent out to the neighborhood and each of them he receipts over and over if this issue is defy certify we'll he'll not pursue it if the issue is divisive mta will not pursue it welcome to the last year's of my neighborhood you should be paying attention we're obsessed neighbor versus neighbor about the r vp parking permit i really think the among other things needs to look at the process you've followed in this creating the r vp i'm opposed to it and not having a car and having a car again, that's why we have the parking lot those are solutions not discriminating against a class of people he oppose it (clapping.) mr. chairman directors that's the last person that turned in a speaker card. >> directors. >> director borden. >> i have a series of questions and for staff and i know we recently passed free muni for seniors do we have a hardship for parking permits? >> i was wondering if i could ask it i was wondering what the rules are. >> i was going to ask that, too. >> for the placards. >> so we don't generally speaking have hardship provisions that are currently in the transportation code with regards to parking i can think of offhand but if you're a parking placard person you have not subject to the two hours. >> another thing businesses can apply for workers what other regulations and guidelines around those applications. >> yes. businesses in residential parking places that are primarily residential within the boundary that are eligible for a number of permits i believe 3 and . >> so 3 is the maximum they can't get more than 3. >> i think 4. >> for businesses can do it. >> let's ask our coordinator. >> yes. all businesses within an area are able to purchase one and 3 for commercial vehicles registered to the business. >> for example, the daycare center not for the workers. >> it depends on if the daycare has 15 workers or more eligible to get permits for the employees based on the number of street footage. >> with that apply to after-school programs or educational. >> if an educational program it would apply. >> i mean just trying to get whether or not to after-school program an after-school program program that has teachers might be able to i'm trying to fourth for schools that have after-school programs. >> if their employed as teachers and are there white cones in front of the housing promotions or for street parking space. >> i think there's no like western we have white zones for facilities they have a large number of visitors so we've been trying to increase the number of blue parking zones in those areas there's an answer but, yes. >> i'm not saying near the context for the 2 hundred and 50 residents are there 0 bicycle zones. >> 255 i'm sorry. >> i don't know the particular parking regulations kathy. >> sorry. >> that's fine. >> okay. >> we're going to go tag team. >> the residents of that facility would they be eligible to get the permits if they want them. >> please speak into the microphone. >> yes. they would. >> do we know how the things like assisted living tenants and things like that are there permits how is that handled if we know at all. >> can you explain that. >> yes. there is a provision in the code that allows you to get a permit for your childcare provider and medicare provider some have a maximum of 4 some for the medicare permit that transfers from one provider to the next and sometimes 3 one for each of the 3 medicare providers they have. >> okay. great. >> and then another question i had in terms of there's a lot of people that cock u talk about south of the panhandle it is different than alamo square. >> the original proposal includes the oak and south of the panhandle and west of visa the car but from the hate ashbury we'll be eliminating the area south of the proposal. >> up to baker street. >> another question i many i know that dpw gives the parking for contractors it's my understanding that if a parking space from a contractor is not used i i know the policy states the parking is available if that contractor not using this city attorney space are you aware of that or the signs maybe you can speak to the construction parking projects. >> yes. i'm sorry the details i'm not clear about those are dpw contracts. >> a couple more questions in terms of i know in the planning code you're looking at the resources and provisions around have we thought about maybe something the staff can look at the historic facilities for places like churches obvious that have been in the community for a long time or the historic resources or the native daughters of facilities and other things of a historic nature how we can treat those sort of cultural stainless to make sure that people can get that to them. >> i think the answer not only for the churches but really for any cultural significant stakeholder the answer is to get the regulations under the block; right? for today some of the comments with many of the churches have indicated the articulate is could be a challenge. >> - >> we've clearly heard the two park - that is something that maybe needs a closer look for the historic for the parking regulations that matches them as close as possible to the institutions of those blocks. >> to that point in some neighborhoods for example, in pacific heights and the presidio there is 3 hour parking and other 2 and 4 hour parking i feel like to have staff perhaps around the churches or other facilities look at three or four other windows to accommodate some of the concerns in this area any reason why we couldn't do that. >> the design it has a 2 flat two hour to make it simple but again, it is worth going back and take a look at the churches where the blocks have 4 hour parking. >> on this proposal there wasn't consideration of three or four hours for businesses. >> the original proposal some of the original proposals early on for june of this year committed some 4 hour parking, however, sfoovt prefers 2 hours parking it is easier to enforce and effective n enforcement how r vp is a dynamic provision if after the churches it is sdilsz along the block where some of the churches want 4 hours we can have that changed easily the is that you as the r vp changes. >> that's a good question a lot of concern about once you're in your sort of in and can't get out i hear once you're in amendments can be made if we up to the point it the dialog of the churches and the business communicated the churches are important but so is the business community the dialog can continue if it is better to have a three or four hour zone we can do that procedurally. >> i guess the final question if we approve that today which is this in effect. >> not to the fall. >> will you make the decisions prior to that time not to change the signs twice. >> that's our intent. >> our commitment if we vote for this today changes will help not an informational only item will be the final outcome. >> okay directors thank you. >> questions director brinkman. >> i only want to bring up the fact i'm in the zone we got a mailing to the households was there a mailing to pretty much all the neighborhoods. >> the original packet was the the map and the proposed proposal to over 4 thousand households and the second mailing was a postcard with a map on it to another 4 thousand households so again. >> thank you that was the only i had thank you for coming this is a big challenge for the area again as noted it might not be the perfect tool we can change that going forward. >> thank you for everybody but i'm going to make a motion to approve. >> a second. >> can i say for the churches is there a - aufbl the churches did they get noticing of the problem. >> through the staff. >> every address within the proposal received a notification. >> so it doesn't matter i'm going to support in today, i want a proposal to come back we still have to vote on in the future where the churches and other community facilities that will be longer a two hour. >> there is a motion and a second i'm going to support it the things over the next several months and looking at the thing for the fall all in favor, say i. opposed? the i's >> yes. mr. chairman ladies and gentlemen we're on item 12. >> approval of the various traffic notifications associated with the streetscape project. >> are you presenting. >> i'm going to ask lewis montoya the lead to give a brief pay attention i think fact or facts folks are fairly familiar it is more specific has been in the works for many years strong opinions on both sides of the issues i want quo commend lewis and his staff and team with the liveable streets to work through a challenging process do grief presentation we'll be happy to take public comment. >> good afternoon. i'm. >> i think you need to get a little bit closer. >> it is on oh no, it was not on okay. >> good afternoon there you go. >> thank you for that introduction ed i'm lewis montoya the mta's leads on the polk street project i'm existed to be here to present this comprehensive project on polk streets the energy in the room a lot of people care of about this and existed to have this proposal before you today. >> polk have the a a very vibrate commercial district our project focuses on the $1.3 million between unity and mcallister that portion is diverse from the civic center the possible touches knob hill and russian hill very vibrant with a mix of commercial dense housing services and government institutions and churches really the type of place where the factories in the neighborhood can run e.r. rabid and speciality tracks for people to come around the city and get the best of san francisco that violent urban atmosphere we have this is a snapshot how to get to polk street most people walk there it is like and mentioned a dense residential neighborhood so a lot of folks with coming from nearby and a lot of folks take the transit to permitting operate the service on polk street and on the east west streets and people bike there bicycle sharing is 7 percent strong and on pong it is the only north-south bike routes due to the topographic so an important biking route and 167g9 percent of people drive to polk street but also our analysis shows that polk street has a significant safety problem we started out this project looked at 5 years of collision history 22 people walking and biking we are hit during that 5 year period from the get-go even though the street was repaved and sewer improvements that project this had to be driven by safety vision zero with the city to make a culture change so that when mistakes happy on the street the outcome is not death or serious injury this project embodies that focus and that methodology it is data driven i have the highest rates of collisions of which polk street is on that but the bird eye view they show up intersection by intersection where's the trends and the concentration of his and in directing our engineers manufacturer towards those things we saw for people bicycling the majority of collisions are southbound or hit by cars turning right it ises bat on polk street because of the desire to get across town and people are
