of these buses. i do not know we can do about it as far as creating more bus zones in these neighborhoods. to board safely, we need to look into that. more curbside parking. like noriega, judah, balboa. all of them are mixed use. maybe we can work together to find out how we can make it more safe for people with disabilities. it is not just people with disabilities, it is everybody. everybody has to go out on the

street level to board. everyone has to stand on that and hopefully you guys can support it. thank you. >> next speaker. >> robert boden, jim frank, mario tenev. >> i am here to represent the members of the san francisco wrote transit riders union -- san francisco transit riders union. we are in full support. our membership supports this and we're pleased that the sfmta is considering it. you have a win-win-win. it is not just good for riders, it is good for the agency.

we have done it on the rap on -- on the system already. it is an example of how things can work. i had some quick points here. we can shorten the troubled times. i read an article that 20% of the time, muni spends time boarding people. it is poor service for customers. it is amazing when you can speed up service and have quicker trips and also save the agency money. it is a great idea. we have this in place with a light rail system. there are not ticket vending machines at every stop. a lot of issues that have been brought up as problems, they do not exist on the light rail system. the system has among the highest percentage of paying riders. on the bus system, people know

there will be rarely fare inspectors. they can get away without having to pay the fare. to increase -- we ask you expeditiously implement this. preferably the winter of 2011 or 2012. >> our next speakers. >>chairman nolan: the afternoon. >> i am a member of the transit riders union. i am fighting for the rider. a few basic points about all door boarding. we totally supported. this is great for the drivers because they can focus more on driving rather than worry about it someone pay or not pay? it will address some of the fare evasion issues. in the ideal, it would be

consistent enforcement. it would be on the bus. when you get on, you know that you have the potential the fair inspector will be there. it will be comfortable. five or six doors open up, you get on and it is quick. people get off, you know how to do it. but the new people get on. the buses can be the same way. that would be nice. it works in lots of different places. los angeles, new york city, vancouver, toronto, ottawa, all across europe. as many places as use this, it does work. chairman nolan: next speaker. >> i am also with the san

francisco transit riders union. when we ask riders with the one most, the tops -- thing is always reliability. -- the tough thing is always reliability. all door boarding will provide high reliability and will do it in two ways. by speeding up trips and decrease the variants of the running time. the second way is by speeding up trips, some equipment will be released. resources will be released and can be reused for redundancy and improving the schedule on-time arrival. i would want to emphasize again that ticket vending machines will be great at some intersections. conditioning is further delayed. we would like to see a ruled out for people who already use clipper and everyone else can

board through the front. to those concerns, the expectation of the writers -- riders is most important. they have their fair ready and -- fare ready and evasion is lower. i urge you to implement all door boarding as soon as possible. >> our next speakers. i read some comments on line on this issue. i do have to say, i already like the directors reality check. he tells the truth. i am telling you, there is a lot of issues that have to be dealt with before you implement it.

so, the one issue i have is when people need to get off the bus, you have people crowding around the back door, you cannot get off the bus. how do you do with that issue? that is discouraging for people trying to leave the bus. the enforcement part is with the inspectors. if you do not have enough inspectors or do not focus them properly, or you only do discrimination with certain nationalities or ethnic groups where they live or travel, you have problems. i was hoping you would do a

pilot program. to not so much get the -- to get the inspectors trained on it. why do i have to pay when people get on the buses for free the underground to get -- you have to have to get machines if you eliminate the cash fair. >> our next speaker. >> i will be brief.

this issue has been back and forth, back and forth. i want someone to make up their minds. either they will move forward with it or not. because at the end of the road, your drivers, my members are the ones in the front. but if we keep shifting from one policy from one time to another time and you have been here, mr. nolan longer than some other directors and we have that issue a lot. i do not want to see that issue again. on the other hand, what other policy you guys agree, please let us know in advance. not to find out that i have got it here. this issue was brought up. the other issue i have and this has to be worked out. there are logistics' that have to be worked out. those buses we have, they cannot take the punishment you are willing to give them.

we need to reinforce them. we need to look at everything. not on safety. -- not just performance. >> i am also a member of the san franci am a member of the geary group. i urge you to support all door boarding. it will put us in the same ranks as many other cities across the board -- country and many of the parts of the world. i want to address some things. one of them as education. i find that one of the things i have issue with, a lot of times, the rider is not educated. as to what is happening.

i would urge you if you do all door boarding to do a really great educational campaign to let them know what is going on. obviously the back door, you will have to take off that thing that says you cannot come in the store. -- this door. they do things in other cities to better inform riders. they will be of better. there is an issue of people getting on and off the bus as we speak today. that is kind of because people are not educated as to the basics of getting on and off the bus. you did at dawn until people have come off. what happens now is people try to get on the bus at the same time people are trying to get off. if we were to educate people that is not necessary, you wait until people get off to get on, we would alleviate that difficulty. i want to say that i agree with several people here.

it is important to be consistent about our inspection periods it is at issue that people have been inconsistent. i urge you when you do the inspection and to be consistent, this is the best thing. this is one of those things where they benefit the most. >> our next speakers. >> good afternoon. for the handicapped boarding on any bus, it truly concerns all of us. here in this nation that has seemingly gone insane, here is my message is simple and plain.

knowing how most religions cater to pigeons, as politicians to bankers and morticians, the people, the workers, the students are looking for heaven, the general strike be slighted and will be set and we will began this 9-11. 40 days and 40 nights, let's be clear. the strike continues until we free leonard peltier. comes now the power to seize man in his great and all of the antwerp. i have a message here for steve jobs. you have made zillions selling air as the economy that does lead. accept this deal that you may heal. speak publicly these truths about lying. for the chinese prisoner does not have a chance but for some reason, the almighty provided you with a reason to dance. tell them for 30 years and delivering 24-7 subliminal sub-

phonics into every cranial cavity. so the message remain on their asses as man is blind. tell them for the media bows to you. tell the public why, house selling air such wealthy did occur. i dare you to act mystified or deny these tricks now told. i made you looking so you shall say the technology was 50 years old. it is about mind control programs that have been implemented in everybody is mine. we wonder why we talk about king and gaudy and chavez but in 40 years, things are worse. it is time to cease this curse. put away your foolish miss chains. listen to your heart and to yourself and it is time for york general strike. i have said it, it shall be so. chairman nolan: next speaker, please. >> former member of rescue --

i have fantasies, this would apply to the jersks at the financial district to evade the fares. what can we do? an extreme fantasy. they wrestled to the ground and get electrocuted if they do not pay their fair share. you cannot do that. the human rights violations would be flagrant. we would never been relieved from lawsuits. one way i think we can do it. this because there are limited fair inspectors. it can increase the amount. you can rotate the fair inspection. they can be random. maybe it once a week there would be in california and sacramento

and polk street. another time they will be a powerful and gary. they should be rotated and random so no one can be sure that if they invade the fear there will not be cited. if you do randomly, the word will not get out. i am sick and tired of people coming onto the bus without paying their fares. i cannot stop them because i do not want to be punched out or something by these elevators. in order to avoid this, let's and force it on a random basis so no one can be sure as to whether there will be cited for fare evasion. this is one way of making use of limited personnel. we should have more fair inspections. thank you. chairman nolan: next item.

>> item 14. authorizing the director of transportation to execute an agreement to conduct implementation consulting insurgences foexecute services t effectiveness project not to exceed four years. >> it is an excellent report. very comprehensive and detailed. i know you spend quality time with us this afternoon. i know members, we have a couple of speakers. we can hear from the speakers. ok? would you like to hear from the speaker's first? >> the only people who have turned in the speaker card. >> the tfe was approved a few

years ago and the irs is starting. there is some delay there. i would like to encourage the mta to whatever can be expedited, what ever does not need to go under ceqa to get done as soon as possible. within one or two years. thank you. chairman nolan: thank you. mr. cabrera? >> when i saw this piece of paper, the review, i stopped and think prior to today, last time, there was an firman to review, what -- the mta called for a fiscal emergency. i am afraid of doing that again. some communities lost some

service. because the fiscal emergency grants to that. to pass the ceqa. please do not let that happen again. you are the keepers of transportation for all citizens. i'm not against approving this consultant for $2 million. i want to make sure our communities are aware of what is going on. not to find out after the fact like we did before. thank you. >> herbert weiner. the last to turn in a speaker card. >> the transit effectiveness project should be called a transit elimination project. what has happened is the [unintelligible]

has been truncated. i believe it has been proposed to reroute the six masonic. the haight-ashbury line. what is going to happen is, if you reroute that line and it was proposed it goes straight through haight street, and not go up masonic avenue, what will happen is, you are going to have people who are elderly and frail. how do you expect them to get to their homes? are they going to have to crawl? right now, people are inconvenienced with the 2 clement line. you have to walk to california street and that is a long block. why do you on the board tried to walk that walk on a walker? suppose you are on oxygen.

suppose you have hiv. it is a gross injustice to do this and i have brought this to the attention of people. they simply ran this thing through. this has been an ill-fated idea to begin with. you need more buses and need more drivers. $2 million for contractor, you can have it for the buses. if you can get those lines downtown, you can get them through the clement. you have six digit salaries. this is a disgrace and it is cruel to the most probable in san francisco. this has to stop. this is a twisted idea from the world go -- word go. >> the report you are given does

not seem like it is a contract recommendation which is somewhat disturbing. you may want to improve the contract. i accept and understand that. i am suggesting the need to have more studied than just ceqa. you need to make a look at an additional contract, may be with somebody else. historically, ceqa and nepa were passed before the ada. that is the more honorable population that would be affected disproportionately by what you start off by saying, stop spacing and then you go to orwelling doublespeak. stop optimization. you lose credibility when you use a term like that. people began to small rat. this is distasteful. -- people begin to smell a rat.

it ignores some of the data. in san francisco, seniors are disproportionately the pedestrians who were injured and injured severely. when you make seniors are people with disabilities walk, they have to cross one or two more intersections. you are not looking at this has a two are putting them through. you're not looking at the fact that when people are at two stops and it is consolidated, they're clustered more. that may mean some of us who are not as fast and agile do not get on the bus. there is double the number of passengers. that is one of the problems you are overlooking and is not part of ceqa. i will suggest you need to do that. mission high school students last may suggested there may be some stocks added. they saw places in the mission

that were destinations for them and muni has no clue. >> that is the last person who wishes to address you on this matter. >chairman nolan: is there motion? all in favor? thank you. it is nice to see you. >> item 15, discussion and vote to conduct a closed session. chairman nolan: is there a discussion? all in favor? so ordered. >> the board did not discuss anticipated litigation. they did take action on real- estate litigation. authorizing a payment to use d

im sum restaurant -- resulting from the condemnation of the property. item 17 will be a motion to discuss -- disclose or not disclose. chairman nolan: all in favor? let's adjourn in memory of the fourth member of the citizens advisory committee. we can sent a letter to the family. thank you all very much.

>> you can see that it is amazing. you can hear that it is refreshing. you reach for it because it is irresistible. and the taste. simply delicious. san francisco tap water. it engages the senses. 311 is an important resource for all san franciscans. shouldld

>> before i take a roll, please turn off your cell phone, pagers, electronic devices. will call. -- roll call. [roll call] commissioners, the first item on the calendar is items proposed for continuance. at the beginning of the calendar, there were nine and since then there were none. we can move on to other matters. item number one under consideration from the june 3, 2011 hearing. we would ask that you adopt the draft minutes. president olague: is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed.

vice-president miguel: i move to adopt the draft minutes. >> on that motion -- commissioner antonini: aye commissioner moore: aye. vice-president miguel: aye >> are there any other commission matters? president olague: yes, i noted an interesting article with the title "medical office play." you remember the trying goal -- triangle matter that was before us. this is the property directly across from 16th street. it is in mission bay. it is four large blocks -- lots

on 17th and 16th streets, running street through. it is being discussed within the department and everything, but they are thinking of putting in a medical office building. while it could possibly be an excellent adjunct to what is happening in mission bay, i remember back when the parnassus campus of ucs was buying up residence -- residences and putting in housing and small medical offices until the neighborhood stopped them from doing that. and while certain medical- related facilities are undoubtedly necessary, it is possibly something we should be cautious about.
