test, test, test, test, test test >> good afternoon and welcome to the city and school joint

committee. i'm kim. i'm currently joined and school board members. supervisor mark farrell will be here shortly. we'd left lane like to recognize the staff for sf gov. tv >> please silence all phones and any documents as to say included into the record should be submitted to the city clerk. >> thank you please call item number one. >> it's to receive an duplicate grading on the traffic program. >> supervisor al loss and i sit

on the transportation board of directors and i sit on the committee board and we've received an update on a 3 track process. i thought it's helpful to hear about this program and also to be able to weigh in and have input to this program. history i think there's been somewhat a separation on items such as those and this committee can share in ways we work together to improve our schools and neighborhood.

so i'm hoping that that our committee can play a bigger roll in facilitating those conversations. we have someone here to give us an you tell date on the program >> thank you, madam chair thank you very much. as supervisor kim said we really welcome our feedback on this program. i'm going to go through it - what we're hoping to do around schools >> we talk about reducing speeds around schools so the goals we have in improving

safety about pedestrian safety and traffic operations. this one is focused on reduction of speeds. our program is divided into 3 tracks and the track near schools and arterial streets. right now we've been going through a revision to look at how we spend our traffic coming funding we have a certain funding to spend on this traffic programs. we're trying to make sure that we're efficient. so i want to go through the 3 tracks. and >> do you have handouts so we

can follow along with you? it's really to follow along orally >> i don't have my hand out. >> if you do have a paper copy i'd like to have that or you can e-mail to one of our clerks. >> i have it on a file right now. can someone please e-mail to one of the clerks >> so the arterial track has prior reduction an arrest material streets by using low-cost measures by changing the signal changing to go at fast streets. we would look at coordination.

most of the pedestrian injuries took place on those arterial streets. we're loont about $2.1 million a year. i wrote the track books primarily in residential neighborhood. it has to look for projects that has the appealable to reduce the most speeds throughout the city. we have an explanation process where people can apply for traffic coming which are speed bumps in a low cost way. we prioritize those on volumes and we're actually, one of the

changes we've done this before is increasing the waiting given to schools in the ranking. so if someone has a school on their streets we're try to include that in the next year. finally, the school track is something we're changing we'd like to have speed bumps or traffic islands that narrow the driven lanes. we'll work with the school coalition and we'll appreciate our feedback on that. so we can streamline our implementation and have walking audits and the school programs have their own process.

but the idea here is to have a quicker win. so we're looking at a $150,000 per year. we'll be starting in three to four years depending upon a few things but primarily with the program we have a backlog of projects from the acknowledge tracks so we'reic at the implementing those. that's something we're working with you to find those locates. this funds is in violation for speed bumps and i'd like to say that could be around 1:00 district per year. our traffic i'd like to say cost about 20 to $25,000 and

depending upon the prior position it could be a little different. some questions we've had about larger scale projects that could be done around the school arrest materials it could be a little more expensive. when you wanted to have signals all those things could add up from $500,000 and up >> you mentioned crossing guards is that part of this program? >> we have a sepa school

districts. >> it would be really, really helpful if you could give examples of what's been enunciated the past so we could get an idea. >> for this particular program the new $150,000 we can find out

through the application program what's been done near schools. >> i guess this question goes to more than our traffic program because most of our programs have been done through the city which is the safety school program. there are both individual infrastructure projects that the mta applies for generally every year we've been getting a couple of schools a year at a federal and state level and those go for hea heavyier infrastructures projects that you and we've developed a citywide database system to identify which schools have the highest rates of

pedestrian collisions at the school and how many students are being affected from those projects. arthritis a non-infrastructure project in the city and outreach encouraging children to walking braert to school. there are fourteen schools in this program and there's another project coming up to expand it to many more schools it's done in the same way. how many students live close to the schools that are not walking. so we re-evaluate where all our

crossings gardeners are and we have traffic operations if there's a specific issue that isn't investigated we investigate it may be a crossing are stop sign that needs to be looked. >> i did ask for not just the school criteria for the funding but the counter list that receives funding through any of that. so it would be great to have gotten that information today. you know, whose walking to our schools. who has the greatest amount of children walking to school. we had also asked for the potential criteria for schools

that operate near the arrest materials likelogically the speedometer - speed limit to fourteen miles per hour because it's right by the freeway and the tenderloin is an active corridor. i was hoping for that i'm surprised at the limited information we're getting >> i can address that and i'm sorry. i work with the m pa so we had had some further discussions with our office to try to clarify because the request came after this presentation and really around the traffic coming program. this school track is a new

funding source so there's no list of schools that's listed through this program >> we'd be more than happy to have that group back but that group would be probably one of the coalitions and those are lead by the department of health. so the coalition has a representation from the school district and enforcement etc., and they sort of maintain that database and they needing feed us a list of the projects that get funded and it's a separate funding source. i think we could work with that group to come back with a more robust presentation on that

piece of that. but the schools that get funded most of the matches of those grants come through this track currently and each of those applications comes through - through the san francisco county transportation board so it comes through their advisory programs and to the full board as well. so that's how the schools go through their motions in terms of full funding. i did want to clarify the reason why we can or can't lower the speeds near schools we have to do it on roads that have a certain amount of lanes and we have to do an analysis.
