>> i have lived in the area for over 20 years. i spoke in early march on this issue. i am concerned with the overnight parking. the problem which is the only real problem that i know what is dumping. there is dumping on that side of the street. i live next to a sergeant in the police force. i also spoke to the captain at the sunny side station. they have confirmed that they don't know of any drug dealing or prostitution in terms of the campers off off -- in terms of the campers. occasionally, my neighbors and i park on the uninterrupted side. this is very helpful to avoid the street cleaning violations

and that kind of thing. the sunny side neighborhood association mentioned at a hearing in march that they think it should be left to the people that live right there. since then, we have gone door to door to do some canvassing with this petition and we found no support for the ban on overnight parking. we have a petition against l. >> ok. >> we received your correspondence. you and your neighbors represent your sells very well. >> >> thank you for allowing us

to speak today. i am a 23-year resident and i went around with my neighbors and we collected 42 signatures against the ban on overnight parking. none of these people knew anything about this. they were not consulted. none of them believe that this will solve the problem with the dumping. some of them said one of the attractions to the neighborhood was that there was ample parking and now we have seen that being eroded. there is a new red zone ride across our street. there are three per cassations when that redstone was created. many people who live there move their cars on a daily basis. there was a suggestion of

prostitution and drug use. our neighbor has confirmed that that has not been backed up by any evidence whatsoever. i don't believe that this is the solution and neither do my neighbors. we believe we should do some more discovery to find out what might be the proper solution and i thank you. >> next speaker. >> the next speaker is bill wilson >> i'm here because i am president of the sunnyside neighborhood association and i have questions about the process this seems to me by agreeing to come back that that

is exactly what we what. i really do hope that we can come together with a solution that the residents appreciate and feel part of rather than something that they feel is being imposed on them and they were not aware of. i can give you my card with the information. >> thank you. >> i work in a restaurant, so i come home in the evening between a love >> clocked 31:00 every night. i live on the corner of circular and staples.

if i do not have this as an option, i will have to park quite a few blocks away. i am afraid that this could hinder my ability to park and also my safety. when i come home at night, there are 25-30 cars on the street and these are normal neighborhood cars parked there. it does people are not allowed to park, those will be part even more so on our streets and in front of my home. i am unable to park in front of my house. these cars will not disappear. they will even bmi street more. i want the board to consider this before they vote on that. thank you. >> thank you. >> flight --

>> i live at the corner of circular and stables. i wanted to say that i would be the 43rd signature to the list. i did not know the they were coming by to campus at the 11th hour. i'm sure that there are many others that could not be here today.

given that the parking to be kind of bad. there's a good amount of dumping on the streets. >> is anyone else care to legalize the board? >> i would move to table l. >> what else have to remove from the calendar.

>> there is a move to table c, h, g, q, r. >> ok. >> there are -- >> i would like to address c. you all are eliminating a lane of traffic. if you take it on 18th street, this allows you to go to travel below mission. this connects with the market's going to the other side of the

city. i think it requires a more separate hearing more feedback. not to sever its, it also requires a whole city. that allows people to go all the way up in the afternoons and i think i am concerned. no right turn, you should exempt taxis. this is a way of allowing better cab service. 17th street, i would like to hear a while the -- why you

would want to stop this. this goes all the way across and it is an alternative to 16th. i think putting a stop sign there. have you done traffic counts to see, you are taking away of lane of traffic. a lot of people are using that because you have to avoid valencia. people use this to get from one end of the city to the other from the outer end of the mission to the north part of the city. i think what you're doing is that you will create a worse problem and hurt taxi service. >> members of the board, we

have c, h, q, and r. would it be difficult to exempt taxis? for >> this is a traffic management proposal for at&t park. right now, when the cars are discharging, we urge them to go south so that they can keep on third. they hit like 16th street and then they can turn left to go back north. that bypasses the congestion on fourth street and there are other services.

in practices, once they turn left, they bypassed this loop and then they go to the basin and the channels. so, they are joining the big massive cars circling the circle in that area. this will allow them to do that. in terms of exempting taxis, i don't think that there would be exits. by exempting taxes, that makes the restrictions last restrictive. i think it would be ok to amend it.

>> it seems like a reasonable thing to do for the taxis. >> i don't believe that there will be that many of them. one thing we can do is that we can my turret and report back. >> thank you. i was told that c was already approved. we don't need to reconsider if we let it stand. >> i will make a motion to reconsider. >> is your pleasure to have these amended? >> i will move that. >> second. >> all those in favor.

>> it is great demanding -- item as amended. >> i will second. the >> to make the record clear, g was announced to be severed. >> is our motion to approve it? >> second. >> we have been asked to move to route 12 up ahead of 11. we can do that. >> item 12 is regarding our central subway baseline budget and i would like to advise you that we're continuing our momentum towards our agreement of nearly $1 billion by the end

of this year. we ask that you adopt the state line scope and schedule as outlined by the federal transit administration. our program director and chief financial officer is here to answer any questions. "to the board and staff that are here, i wanted to come up and discuss this as a member of the transportation authority.

this is an extension of our system. our chinatown is really the envy of the world to have a place that mixes the modern with the historic. we know that a car centered approach to this area is not sustainable. i think the central subway project will really put us centuries into the future and recognize a neighborhood that is really focused on transit usage. i think that that is important to reward and recognize it as we build our system out. as we are moving this project forward, when you look at how the federal government is

overseen projects of this manner, they want to see it as a special enterprise. there is someone who has a singular focus for program management, for all of the elements that make a project work. the recognition that is that a ship will be central to deliver in this project on time to the people of san francisco. i want to take a moment that this is my first time coming here since we lost -- and i hope that you will consider a recognition that is appropriate. i'm excited to support many of the sticklers that are here.

hon>> i am the executive directr of the union square business improvement district. i am here to support full funding for this project. i would like to complement the central subway team and their staff for everything they have done to make this disrupted project as least disruptive as

possible. we appreciate that and we encourage you to go forward with full funding. >> does anyone else care to address the board? >> could afternoon. -- good afternoon. i was with macy's for 20 years. i am retired and i want to tell you that this project, we have supported everyone on the ground. the communication between the groups has been absolutely

superb. i would like to thank everyone and urge support for full funding for the project. thank you. >> does anyone else care to address the board? >> i represent the chinatown cdc. i am delighted to to be here. let me congratulate you and the mayor for the two ended million dollars. this links of some of the dances neighborhoods in san francisco. this is a very critical project.

we remain steadfast in our support. i have presented 15,000 petitions in support of the project. right here from not only chinatown but for the northeast sector. i am very happy to urge our strong support for this project and got to get this project built. >> good afternoon. >> i have served on this in the first year.

we serve the same purpose, to bring the area all the way into downtown. we were notified her that this is expensive. if we hear anyone coming into protests, we keep this one for one reason or the other.

we will go between union square and chinatown. is this right thing to do? thank you for your support. >> i can to speed gun and other issues coming before you. i feel compare of -- i feel compelled to talk about this. from what i've heard, this is a lot of money spent with very little good return. i ride my bicycle on stockton street all the time and it is packed with automobiles. if some of them can be diverted, they could probably run spending money on the

central subway and it would be much much cheaper. we all know that muni is really suffering now to and from what i have heard, this money could be much better spent other places. i am not an expert but you guys have heard all the testimony before and against a this is what i have heard. >> thank you. are there any presentations by the staff? >> i am prepared to move the item. >> all those in favor. so ordered. >> thank you. >> mr. chairman, members of the board. as the city's ability managers, we are seeking out ways to make

our transportation system safer and more user-friendly for all people. item 11 is an item that grew out of the city's market octavia plan which recommended making this a two-way their fair. the plan recommended making this a two-way street between van ness avenue and franklin. our recently promoted city traffic manager will be presenting the presentation. >> this is an object that has been analyzed for the past few years and has community support. are there any questions that

come up about the planning process prior to mta involvement. this is a to block segment. we also would like to make -- two ways and these are complementary to each other in order to address some of the issues. we have changes we're making for parking and also on the portion of hayes and make some adjustment although that will remain a one-way street. the pattern in the area was established in the 1950's and this is part of the traffic management to move this through the area. we have received a lot of requests from the community. there's been an area planet that

has been looked at and been recommended and has been made between -- there was a resolution in 2007 urging our department to act on this recommendation. we are trying to find kind -- fine-tune some of the issues. some of the proposals were just it as part of that meeting. we had a community workshop that we posted where we discussed in 2009 the various possibilities of making the streets two ways. we presented the item recently to the governance and policy committee. we received the go-ahead.

the plan department and the addendum to the area plan. we got about 11 people who speak in support including the major neighborhood group in the area. this is a very private commercial area. this has been one of the great areas and we could have gone their shopping and dining hall. this is one lane in each direction. this is the ideal neighborhood street for the commercial purposes.

this is a three lane street heading in the westbound direction. this is commercial. right now, it has one way traffic. right now, there are three lanes on hayes. the proposal is to take this into a eastbound lane. there would be no parking changes in this block which is the heavily commercialized block. there is no impact of that type on this block. on this block between van ness and franklin is definitely less commercial. the back of the symphony and the back of the school district, there is no active frontage on the sides. there are four lanes there
