Director nolan and members of the public and staff a number of things to update you as you may know i want to imagine that last week on i think the 22 we had to people who are riding their bikes in the city that were struck and killed by speeding automobiles as you may know we declared through our adoption of vision 2025 well no longer accept that people need to die in traffic violence and those too late fatalities like every other one yield avoidable were not accepting this should be happening in our city anymore i think Everybody Knows the transformation locations of the two one open jfk and thirty avenue and Golden Gate Park a car speeding upward of thirty or 50 Miles Per Hour and crossed over a lane and struck and killed a woman on her bicycle the other one on howard and 7 the transformation driver was speed up through a red light and struck and killed a woman on her bicycle fortunately because of some quick action by members of the public and the police the transformation person involved the alleged perpetrator howard and 7 brought into custody and charged insider the drivers on jfk and Golden Gate Park are at large call the transformation pole if you have any information to hold this person accountable for the transformation death hes responsible for. It is we believe weve been making progression on vision zero those two as well as the others weve had this here are just horrific we continue to focus on redesign of our streets to make them safer we at howard and 7 updated the transformation signal timing and enhanced the transformation crosswalks things well not stop someone speeding through a red light but continue the howard and fulsome bacon

improvements in the ground and sustaining that 13 miles ever high injury corridors will get the treatment in 2016 and others in 2017 as part of the vision zero go action plan we do continue to support the police and their focus on the 4 and focusing on the top 56 most dangerous driving behaviors that cause those problems and increasing their enforcement of those behaviors which is good they likely clearly needs to do more on the engineering and the enforcements side we need to do more on the education to make it less likely to center the tragedies continue to happy and Telegraph Hill working on the legislation wards to giving San Francisco the authority to enforce speed with cameras currently not allowed by the state of california but allowed by another communities across the country it is proven the federal Safety Administration to be effective and reducing collisions by a number of the 2025 percent of those collisions in the past week where speed was the preliminary collision factor so since we dont have enough police in the city or any city to Police Cameras can be effective well be working hard with the our representatives and States Legislature so weasel continue to redouble our efforts in terms of redesigning our streets to make them safer focusing on the high injury corridors well continue to support the police and work across the city with our partners outside the transformation City Education and the awareness and behavior change and seek the changes for local, state and federal level and our condolences to the family and friends of those who are grieving and

one of the winners last year on july 7th in union square i believe it is at noon so look forward to seeing everybody want to thank the 53 annual police explosion a great way to highlight the transformation history and the skills of our cable car operators move on to a couple muni forward updates one of them is that construction will begin on the 9 san brand new improvements on two parts of 11 and bayshore those are improvements that the legislated last year sometime last year this project will bring a quirk more reliable ride and satisfactory space on the street to get on and off the bus for 20 thousand riders on the 9 R Construction should be wrapped up by next spring and they include a number of things transit glubz at bayshore and harrison and intersection of oakland and jerry read and transit island on 11 and bayshore and portland and stop options during the Transformation Construction well work with the construction cruise work on both sides and minor delays an muni and 11 but continue to maintain the route and maybe slight adjustments led by San Francisco public works and doing everything we can to minimize the transformation impact on people driving and walking and, of course, on muni riders this Capital Projects are many things to make the 9 and 9 r faster and 20 thousand riders will benefit from those changes so great to see probation officer moving forward i wanted to give you an update on Mission Street and any improvements that weve implement as you may know that is been a lot of reaction to those improvements with positive and negative we hosted with supervisor campos last week, a Community Meeting in the Mission Cultural center and feedback Cheryl Brinkman was there a large crowd to remind you, we started this project the implementation in march and legislated earlier this year and last year we implemented it with the transformation goals of improving Traffic Safety and the muni reliability as with many of the muni projects were getting a lot of vision zero and times two for one benefit on many of the projects the transformation main element of the project constituent a transit only lane and a southbound or reconfiguration of street for the 3 two southbound one northbound and the nation of some of the single block stops and most notably i believe what is of most concern the term restrictions we have only one lane of traffic northbound the project diverts through traffic auto traffic right turns starting another Caesar Chavez and 26 24 and 22 and 16 i believe and it is those turn restrictions that were hearing a lot of concern but at the same time, were hearing a lot of very positive feedback in terms of the fact it worked in terms of transit performance making that ride reducing the transformation delays and making it more reliable 80 so the transformation feedback on areas of safety for people walking and taking transit eye as well as for the buses themselves the transit benefits in terms of the reliability and traffic time and feedback on the stop configuration with the traffic impacts the neighborhood and Business Impacts and the outreach that was part of our process and about the evaluation of the impacts so the feedback has been essentially that the transit changes are really working well, for transit and heard back from a lot of these folks at the same time weve heard the transformation traffic changes made it more difficult for people to get to and around the mission and we heard if businesses and others that it was having a direct impact on them and we heard feedback that the project may have caused people to frequent Mission Street more and others less weve gotten a lot of these feedback and emails and social media and 311 and telephone person and similar themes to what we heard at the meeting to insure were capturing as much and complete feedback as possible well do an additional round of surveying like before the project we shared with i together with input from neighbors and muni riders whos voices are heard less in the discussion and to better assess the impacts weve conduct a fourth round or round in coordination to make sure we better understand what stent or how the businesses are being impacted ouch u obviously we dont want to negatively impact the transformation businesses if there are impacts that are negative what things to neglect that to how the businesses are impacted and not weaken the transformation project and not solve what is a real issue of impacts so we will continue to work and likeable bring Something Back this july meeting in terms of adjustments to the project as well as updates on other things were doing such as working with office of Economic Workforce Development ill have more likely in the next meeting on Mission Street i want to note that supervisor campos is hit hard on all sides of the issue and trying to bring the folks together and working with solutions and i want to acknowledge him we had a quick update
