18 and two cases followed by a muni bus that seemed tailored to the street i dont understand that policy when you have a huge bus transporting people in a congested part of town. Muni buses that pack as many or more people their skinner, if you will, to fit the lane almost retrofitted to fit the lane that is a krargs contradiction thats a light way of saying that muni has a vision about how to deal with 3 issue . About 18 months ago we started a Pilot Program we put those tech buses under a framework they cant work on they street they have to come to us and we put those stops on a heavy street and more likely to go to the streets where the tech workers can congregate and get on this buses weve down k done a lot of enforcement over the stops we wrote written before 12 hundred violations in the last year for the buses blocking muni and we do it before and after and found that the tech shuttles were they dale got the message were serious the issue of commuter shuttles has gone down but the big city buses on streets we just released a report yesterday actually showing the findings of that 18 month pilot talking about the way in which blocking muni and the dynamics played out largo found that the regulated shufrlt system is better they can literally drive on the city but issues to be addressed i will say that we as we cant prevent them from operating on the streets the puc so the Pilot Program that was about us working in kind of a much leverage and power to get them on streets appropriate for large buses but we found that banning those buses if San Francisco is not an option. Im not suggesting banning but regulating other modes of transportation i find it hard to believe we cant better regulate particularly when the neighborhoods theyre in the and the other pet peeve only because i onesizefitsall witness it daily we have different modes of transportation we have people roll call skating down market ive seen bikes kind of we know blowing through you know red lights and stop signs you know we have in my opinion more cars on the street than we did before and the debate thats because the taxi was not as responsive, etc. By is seemed a lot of modes of transportation and muni has the ability to regulate those multiple modes theyre creating chaos and conditions. The most interesting projects weve put out in the last 12 months a safer Market StreetMarket Street west of third street and reorganized how everybody used it a continuous retaining wall red bike lane and skaters and nonmoderated users and then the designated turn on and off points for private and general traffic private drivers and uber and lyft it is transparent where we could and couldnt go it is everything comes down Market Street this is the example of the kind of tools well use more and more down the streets. Commissioner bustos laughter . One quick why cant say the transit bus follow the procedures. Buses. Thats a rhetorical question and its all yours your mr. Maguire thank you. Do you have another question so you want to yield because commissioner bustos has the floor. On slide 10 i said that parking reduces a Building Financial liability i live in a part of city in which everybody has multiple cars and if you have a family and your child goes to school in the morning and missed the bus youll have to directive to say investable you mentioned the idea to increase the parking but workingclass people and families i dont like the idea of pushing those who have to drive for example, you live in the bayview and drop anyone off on the admin of the city youre spending time that will increase the times of transportation youre forced to drive. So it is absolutely true commissioner antoninis what gaffe an example plenty of people that driving is not always an option were not saying wear trying to restrict or take that choice away from people but make sure that are other 0 modes of transportation this would not been us at mtas setting the prices of parking lake meters that about the fact it can cost up to 100,000 for just to build that parking. Do you know how many people that are losing in the development actually have cars versus those who are carless. I dont know the specifics it varies with the development it an important issue for our staff to get that data and figure out something we something we can side differently to get that. Commissioner bustos. Mr. Maguire thank you very much for joining us maybe ed reiskin should have been here hes the head of the department i actually would love to have a meeting a joint meeting with the mta commission what youve heard and what weve spoken about before in the past which is all public is nothing new and things we should look at so on slide 8 this is your slide not mine you talked about the need to protect the quality of life for existing residents part of my frustration who independence quality and for whom it seems to me as a lifelong san franciscan especially latest weve had people trying to tell us a what to do throughout our presentation you talked about choices and i happen to disagree with that youre not providing us choices mta is trying to do trying to limit our choices rather than enhance the choices i say that because we talked about on page 6 transit friendly the whole presentation was about parking not once about do i hear mta as a whole talking about the safety issues of muni people dont want to ride muni because one it is dirty not on time and not safe especially for the seniors and especially for young kids i cant tell you how many fights or near fights happen on muni and the bus driver keeps on rolling people dont feel safe riding the Public Transportation if we talk about this we need to take into consideration the system we have and make that better; right . We have we spend a lot of money and resources into the Transit System but we dont seem to be getting a lot out of it when we talk about status quo we allow the issues of the muni to go continue the way it is going and focus the attention on parking and not insensitive vices people to take Public Transportation but almost you know punish people for using their automobiles and as the commissioner said when you have families sometimes you you know you live in a multi generation house you have the parents and kids and grandparents you go shopping youll not see a family ride their bikes to shopping weve gotten into the mode that is about transit first, we median bicycles and people who are disabled cant ride a bike people that are elderly they dont feel comfortable at my age i dont feel like riding a bike ive ridden my bike on streets and almost gotten run over this is not idaho it is San Francisco lets do it the San Francisco way people should stop i know there are thirty fatalities each fatalities is really, really important for us to look at but there is also fatalities that happen in the city that happen on the streets of our aide people are getting shot and stabbed that we need to look at so a fatality is what is moving us to do something then we need to look at the whole city as a whole and; right . When it comes to the Parking Spaces taking up too much space i dont know about that i mean weve looked at designs that you know weve asked People Developers to come in and try to provide amble spaces for people everybody is quick to side bicycles what about the families and the city sharing this is assuming one you know how to use a computer or smart phone two you can pay for it and sometimes there are people whether it is because of limited english or because of the economic backgrounds or the number of people in the families they cant use ride share i specifically asked how many people in the units they said no more everybody there again, you diminish the opportunities for people that live in the development to be able to look at that i think whether you say on page 11 this stuff is all recorded you can go back and take it to the folks to the department but it is as if i give access to parking people will drive not necessarily if you want people to use Public Transportation and provide a transportation that works that make sense one that people will feel comfortable in riding and not to do it im glad we have free muni for Senior Citizens especially the seniors they deserve it and working hard and deserve it ill disagree with that particular slide when we heard you talk about the partners and i know commissioner mondejar talked about be able to have bart and the other partners to lower the cost you know if theyre great partners then he would hope to have an answer to that if theyre great partners they should have already step up to the plate and provided discounts to seniors especially who live in the city to be able to use because it is important that you know if youre going to be a partner be a partner all the way. And pardon me i there are senior and disability benefits on bart i dont know the details i dont have. Now, when we look at so the system of our transportation grid here this is more of a commentary is a one ive thought about a lot if we look at the city system that works why would we have bike lanes in the same street as cars . Because you have two groups that dont necessarily like each other and your informing them on a street like say fillmore where everyone is mad at each other going down one direction that is one direction imagine if there were two why not look at a group system you you know we have cars on fulsome street; right . There are a lot of people heading towards the bridge and a bike lane on some of the anular streets the smaller streets a bicycle system i mean, i would use then im not expediting but only competing against the cyclists and the not cars that way not forcing people on cars and bikes together where they will you know you get people upset i hear honking and people flipping each other off if we had a grids system that works in the main to fair and the side streets in opposite directions for fulsome you have there are some side streets and some men i am not you know what im saying if we looked at Something Like that rather than for these two groups that observing are not fond of each other for whatever reason and then thats where a lot of the angry happens and frustration grows and it is not very safe so the way the system was set up as we see it today it is not smart ive they had designated streets where cyclists went i said wow, that is pretty good and some of the side streets all of a sudden bays become pomthd with people in their dangerous and it is a smarter way to do it but who am i . When we talk about the accessibility i have to go back to accessibility for home the disabled and our seniors, families i think you know, i would ask mta to take that thirty thousand fee think ms. Woods said or you said that you know when the caltrain station was set up people thought it was the greatest thing but in palate it didnt workout and now a mess i hope were not getting to a situation we think weve thought it all but noted think about the practical use of this grid and then 10 years from now or 5 years from now well complain how it didnt work having focus groups with people in the communities and ask them how this will work weve asked for a focus group in the mission regarding the hundred and 27 Parking Spaces being taken out of potrero street and yet i think people use the neighborhood and use those streets should have a voice on who is happening i understand that budget are taught then why are we doing parklet and taking Parking Spaces i mean it is privatizing public space most it is floocht of a cafe and restaurant i have to tell you i t i sat down in front of with a burrito if were strapped with cash lets stop private you tigers those spaces whether you have a car or not so we can recapture some of the revenues and Small Businesses on 24th street we put a band on parklets well not support parklets on 24th street a lot of the restaurants and a lot of the the barkries they rely own people that once lived in the mission and were forced out to come back and buy their products they need those Parking Spaces i dont think it make sense especially, when roles and dozens of Parking Spaces are taken away i guess what i want to say is you know if we talk about choices and lets talk about all choices and i would love to rides muni if i felt safe if i felt it was clean and it worked but i dont as a san franciscan i dont and i should i would love to ride my bike if i felt safe with other cyclists but i dont but all im hearing in mta parking this and that and Parking Development and parking you know taking away parking it forces people to zero which with you say zero transit first or whatever the term this is not our choice no choices there are few choices limited choices if were going to talk about choices is where an honest dialogue thats why we invited mta to come not utility mta and the services it provides part of city; right . A lot of city workers my brother is a city bus driver in San Francisco it is great but weve got to make that work for everybody is back to my original question who defines quality of life and for whom you can have a lot of young folks working at mta who have not had to worried about what is like to be older making decisions for our seniors and it is not you know so i agree with you lets think of the big picture and talk about choices we can get there i think you have a commission that licenses especially to the people of the city and we also want to make that work for everybody and sometimes that means we agree great and if we dont agree lets figure out a way to make it a practical way we have Wonderful Community organizations and folks that are very interested theyre at mission bay theyve done a job and people in the mission and people from all parts of city that would love to participate and who are investors here not just going to be here 5 years and put mayor stamp okay. Now you can leave but live and stay here those are the people i know have a lot to say weve seen so much happen to you appreciate you and thank you for being here i dont know if i have questions or just talking but those are the things brought up over and over again and hopefully, a conversation with ed reiskin and others members of his Leadership Team or with the commission themselves as peers we all work on policy to make the city a better city for the residents so well be happy to do that thank you, again. Thank you. I think we have one more question. One more question can you refresh what was prop l rejected by the voters. I dont want to guess but basically, it was asking the voters to ask whether mta should be building more offstreet. That was providing more parking the things ive called in the presentation and voters like 72 to thirty something. It ivy know that commissioner will probably explain this further that would be great if we have the overview of caltrain and barts more of a global view you know of the transportation situation is going to be in the next 10 to 20 years youre only representing mta what are the other options more of a request for our executive director to consider but this other piece is at one time i recall it was exthis commission or a private sxhfgsz a discussion around water ferries or again maybe it was a meeting with other you know like caltrain and bart and also the ferry sausalito and the ferries but other discussion about utilizing the docks you know Hunters Point shipyard and you know by the water there would be smaller water fairs and the south bay and things like that that would be more options for us the residents in San Francisco and those who come here especially during game days and things like that i dont know if there is a the conversation or mta is talking to the other departments that would be great to have the global view of what to expect to questi have the physician information. The transportation authoritys governs that and the same way as barts. You work with them your sort upgrades u you know checking what other agencies are doing for as far as addressing the transportation issues. Yes. Obviously the waft we develop those areas thats an option we look to see if we can activate it. Okay. Thank you. Okay well, hopefully, you have food for thought. I appreciate there is a lot going on i learned a lot today so the nice thing we live in different neighbors so i think that you know at least i take away in exchange the fact that people live in hilly and closer to the center and sometimes, we come up with the exact same concerns which says to me it is more than what is happening in our neighborhoods. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Okay great lets call the next item. The nobd is item of Public Comment on nonagenda items. Any speaker cards. Any individuals that wanted to speak on this agenda item.
