It is clear that the port cant pay for the seawall reinforcement or deal with the Sea Level Rise on its own needs to raise money to take care of the properties at take care of the maintenance on the properties no way absent anti funding the issues of Sea Level Rise or the schematic conditions of seawall can be development.

Ehrlich. I also want to thank San FranciscoGeneral Hospital for hosting this event and for start by saying we are here because at this facility one out of two patients is the victim of a traffic crash. As we often do at gatherings of survivors and families of crash victims, i asked that we begin by observing a moment of silence in memory of the 88 people who lost their lives to traffic incidents on the streets of San Francisco and san jose this past year. And the hundreds who died in recent years. A moment of silence. [moment of silence] every 18 hours a child, a parent, a grandparent, a husband, a wife, or a friend is severely injured or killed on our city streets. These are tragedies that are completely preventable candidate you will hear from Family Members of these victims. Now we are here because San Francisco has the highest number of collisions per capita in california. Speed is the leading cause of fatal and serious traffic crashes. Speed kills. If you are hit by a car at 20 miles an hour, 1190 chance of surviving. If that car is going 40 mi. h were chance drops to 10 . San francisco and san jose have both adopted a policy of vision zero. Which i strongly supported was on the board of supervisors. A policy that reflects our collective commitment to bringing traffic fidelitys down to exactly 0. Not 20, not 10, but zero. The work is not done. For years weve known about one solution that is proven. Automaticautomated Speed Enforcement or ase. Automated Speed Enforcement is given city to pluto to magically reduce speeding and fatal traffic incident in over 140 communities around our country the facts are the facts the numbers are the numbers. Portland, new york, denver, a 30 drop in speeding. Maryland, it 59 drop. In washington dc, a city with similar density as ours, an 82 drop in speeding. A 70 reduction in fatalities per but despite these dramatic results california has not yet allowed ase. Today, i am announcing with our community the introduction of the safe streets act of 2017, 80 342. To them, and a fiveyear Pilot Program for the two cities of San Francisco and san jose. To bring proven safety improvements to our streets, to address drivers who disregard safety, by driving over 10 mi. h above a speed limits. Speed grotto [inaudible] due to speeding since the data shows that 70 of fatal and severe traffic collisions occur on the handle of streets often in neighborhoods with many low income senior disabled and minority residents. I want to take a moment and think everyone who is here today of public officials, or pedestrian advocates, transportation experts, Law Enforcement and Public Health advocates, Community Members and families. For helping us to get here. Working with us to address privacy, equity, and due process concerns and for the future work we must do together. I also want to thank our bills first coauthors, state sen. Scott weiner, san jose state sen. Jim built and that some women are filled think it is one take a moment and first thank nicole frerotte from wok San Francisco and were incredible leadership over many years. Brian we matter of the San Francisco by coalition. And the over 40 member organizations of the Vision Zero Coalition who are here. That may just end my remarks by saying that this legislation will not be easy. It will not be easy. Weve a long road to go. But we dont have a choice. We over to the families of victims for those kids who are going to school. Those cyclists were heading to work, those seniors who are going home. We over to them until the vision of zero victims is actually a reality. Thank you. [applause] our first speaker today is someone who is been committed to vision zero here in San Francisco from the beginning. Who has been willing to put our cities dollars where we need to. Someone who is been fighting to get these numbers down to zero, the 43rd mayor of the city of San Francisco aer edwin lee. [applause] thank you. Some women david chiu and thank you for your leadership because as you have said, weve got to do the right thing. Its never easy to do the right thing for the right reason. All of the people standing here beside me have been in hours and hours of deliberation around how to best fill our toolbox with things that would make our streets safer. And the vision zero is not just about automated enforcement systems. They are part of invaluable tools. In San Francisco, with the vision zero, we areas you can see readily, even right outside, redesigning our streets to make them safer, slow down traffic. We are working with all of our communities particularly with a very strong education program, and in partnership with her educational leaders to slow down traffic, to make sure that people using cars are understanding the consequences could the consequences that literally end up right here at zuckerberg General Hospital costing the city some 35 million a year to respond to car crashes and victims of them. We are working very intentionally with our Police Officers and i want to note and thank the Police Officers from the San FranciscoPolice Department, as well as the San Jose Police department because they know what happens on the street has in large part to do with speed. And enforcing our laws are Police Department has been focused on the five top things that cause Pedestrian Safety to be less safe. So were doing a lot of enforcement but they need help. They certainly need the help of Technology Tools that this legislation will offer the cities like san jose and San Francisco. Im going to have a special thanks to a mayor who is cosponsoring this with me, mayor sam ricardo for not only coming up here from being a stalwart transportation in general and for also being a stalwart on making sure his streets, my street, and our streets are safer for pedestrians i want to thank our board of supervisors and i know norman yee are not getting any younger. Were faster in our walking of our streets but we do do a lot of walking and we have personal experiences that we do see speed is going to be of great help in this toolbox. But enforcement and education redesigning our streets are all about the collaboration that mta and the county Transit Authority along with all of our partners in the community and community advocates, work with our Police Departments our large enforcement officers, traffic experts, to make sure we do our best to vision zero is about all of those things but its also about adding new tools but its also about educating ourselves to make sure anyone who is driving, whether they are big rigs, or muni buses were cars of every sort, slow down. We need to enforce that make it a big deal. This will help. As a some women chiu has quoted, it is held in other cities did in fact 142 other cities have automated Speed Enforcement and it is working to reduce collisions, particularly, pedestrians by very serious percentages. Ivewe need to have those percentages down to zero in San Francisco. So we are going to commit to supporting this. We will work with other colleagues brought the state. We will have that dialogue, that is difficult in the face of opposition but again, it is always going to be hard to do the right thing for the right reason and having automated Speed Enforcement is the right thing to do especially with the speeds that we are experiencing good so thank you to everybody for continuing to work hard on this and to also continue to make that toolbox as large as it is because thats how we are going to eventually get to vision zero. Thank you. [applause] thank you mayor lee for your leadership. Im honored to introduce our next speaker in the following way. Im going to out him very briefly. About 20 years ago he was a former resident of San Francisco and he bike and walk in our cities. He knows the challenges of our city. But in more recent years he has been leading efforts in his hometown of san jose on transportation issues as well as in particularly, but it comes to safety on our streets. The mayor of the largest city in the bay area, mayor of san jose, sam ricardo. [applause] thank you some remember chiu. He did mention that the reason why he knows that i used to live in San Francisco is that hes a former housemate of mine. So dont get me started about outing anybody with stories. [laughing] here in San Francisco and in san jose and throughout Silicon Valley we know too well the expression that the future is already here. It is simply not well distributed. Unfortunately, as we know the future of keeping our pedestrians safe on the streets of our cities necessarily involves automated Speed Enforcement and other critical technologies. We have the future distributor to 142 cities throughout this country but not the cities of san jose were San Francisco. How ironic here in the heart of Silicon Valley, because the laws of the state of california do not allow us to utilize this very vertical technology to keep more pedestrians from having to enter the doors of this hospital. I want to acknowledge our team from san jose who came out to join us. We are all in on this pic is critically important to us is a chance provisioned jimlieut. Steve payne from San Jose Police department as well as capt. Kings were the good we have got our whole time managing laura wells from the department of transportation because we know how critically important this legislation is and we know how courageous the something number two is for leading this effort. There are powerful forces aligned against this bill. We can only hope that the voices of the families of all too many victims will be heard by the rest of the assembly and the senate as they consider this critical legislation for keeping our residents safe. Between 40 and 60 fatalities occur every year in the city of san jose and so many unnecessarily because of our inability to regulate the speed on the roads. As Assembly Member chu indicated, that speed is the critical predictive indicator for whether or not individual will survive or not. We can do far more. And we look forward to partnering with that San Francisco on this and many other important innovations and improvements in our test rotation infrastructure. I feel very blessed to have an extraordinary colleague in mayor lee who has been both innovative and collaborative and we look forward to many more part
