of measures that we could install on arterials as we're reshifting the traffic calming program to focus on them that ultimately result in slower traffic speeds and pedestrian circulation and safety, bicycle facility and maintenance and upgrade of signals. you see the picture of the signal in the corner. not only does it fund the infrastructure that supports the pedestrian count down signals and a major funding source for that program and curb ramp locations that christina mentioned in her presentation and i will jump to the five year prioritization programs because what is happening right now is we're approaching year five of the current five year programs and so we are working to update them with the agencies and these are agency lead efforts that are ultimately adopted by the authority board and we're anticipating that to happen

this fall. these are required and what the voters approved 2003 where each -- you need to be able to have a clear and prioritization methodology for each of the prop k programs so for traffic calming how are the arterials prioritized for these locations? what are the methods to make them rise to the top and for the of the categories as well and what it does translate into is a five year program of projects with specific projects identified with cost information, scope, schedule, budget, including the non prop k funds, so there is a transparency to the effort. it's not something that happens in some dark room where the agencies say okay this is what the priority -- that's not what what happens. it's efforts like this and the probable testimony is translated. >> >> these are what you're

hearing from the public as our priorities. how do they match up with your prioritizations? and there are other elements of the five year plan that agencies need to speak how they have been working over the last five years in delivering projects funded through the program, and so what this does is allows for a process of a transparent process and most importantly but not least it allows the sales tax authority to see what agencies need to implement their priorities and if it's more than 1/30 and when i say that prop k is a expenditure plan. if it's more than that and agencies want to accelerate the funds available in the later years i mean there is a cost to it but we can do it. we can make more funding available in the near

term if the agencies are able to deliver the projects so if the capacity -- there's certainly the need. we see that very clearly, so i just want to put that out there that through the process if becomes apparent that agencies want to accelerate the availability of prop k funds over the next five years we can absolutely work with the agencies to do that. this is the schedule for the adoption, what we're anticipating as the schedule for the a dochg the five year plan and go to the authority board in november. we need to release the guidance to the agencies which we expect to do next week and preparing the five year plan and there will be chunks of public outreach that are done if you will, a level of effort this spring to come up with initial draft list and another outreach effort in the late summer and fall so the

public and the agencies have a chance to work together and also to weigh in on the process. these are the agencies that are working that are eligible to receive these types of funds. no big surprises here. i will just touch briefly on prop double a since it's a local measure that does have 25% of the funding set aside and specified for pedestrian safety. this is 25% on an average, so not necessarily on an annual basis, but the five year plan for prop double a was recently approved and it does include a couple of projects in district 7 including winston drive project that will help to access a wellness center that is being constructed and a connector project that city college is sponsoring. i will also make a plug for www. my street sf. this is our interactive map

that we launched yesterday that includes all of the projects that either funded by or prioritized for funding by the transportation authority. it does not include street bonds projects. there are some elements not included on here, but it does give the public a flavor of where the projects are located. you can search on the website by district, by specific intersection. you can search by project type. you can search by funding source. these are the active projects but we're adding in the projects that have been completed and once the five year plan are completed we will add in another layer so folks can see what is anticipated over the five years. you heard a lot about 19 avenue. we have been involved in the planning efforts under way and have been completed and we funded about half of the cost of several of

the traffic signals that have been improved already through phases one and two, and last we are working on our san francisco transportation plan which is the san francisco long range plan for transportation in the city. one of the aspects that we're looking at is what is called a complete streets initiative. there are trade offs all the way around when you have projects that are federally fund said and these are complete streets but they have a cost and compared to upgrading an intersection with pedestrian count down sections which be maybe a couple hundred thousand dollars for a intersection and it's relative and about priorities and as a city that we can accommodate both with a balance and it's just a challenge to figure out what that balance is, so that

concludes my presentation. our website is up there. i am available to answer any questions that you might have or any members of the public might have now or later. >> thank you very much for your presentation. it's really helpful to see where funding sources come from and what the parameters as you do this, and did you have a quick question? >> yeah, i wanted to say that my street sf.com is useful. i pulled up it congratulations on getting that up. i know a lot of work went into that. you mentioned 32. $5 million estimated over the next 10 years and is what you estimate for public safety in the city. if a vehicle license fee if voters pass that increase that amount so we can meet better priorities as many in the public comment

period raised, but would that be a good source of funds that may increase our amounts for pedestrian safety? >> absolutely and it could be a primary funding source for transportation more broadly and that has some sort of targeted emphasis on pedestrian or pedestrian related improvements. >> thank you. >> okay. i want to thank -- not only you but all the departments and i actually have some questions and i am realizing that we should allocate twice the time but it's getting awfully long so specific questions i can ask the departments but i want to wrap this up and give thanks to the department of public works. earlier i know she wasn't able to speak but the district

attorney's office was here, mta, department of public health, and again the transportation authority. thank you for your presentations and again i thank captain lum and captain salvi and people from the planning department for being here today. we're going to do some follow up. and i also in particular want to thank the public for their comments. i actually am aware of most of what the public was speaking of. there were one or two things that i wasn't aware of and i was glad to hear about it, and in particularly although i knew it intuitively the intersection on o shansee and malta and i have gone through there and cross that street with my kids and going to the park but it wasn't on my

radar and it's good to have that awareness and i mention this because when you listen to the departments again they have a good sense of what's going on and they will indicate the major intersections but what we heard today were not only issues on these main corridors, but we also have issues that sometimes get lost in some of the department reports because they're not the volume that you see on 19th avenue and slope and so forth. what i would like to do is really i would like to work with every one who was involved in this hearing today, so that all of the information, all of the concerns, ideas and strategies don't get lost and ensure they am committed to

that. now, one of my goals here is not only to have an opportunity to listen to all the different reports, but i'm realizing that there are all the different reports and as much as you talk about the launching the website that you have the information that is on there is really good information about what you're doing, and what i would like to hopefully have is somebody have a focus on all the departments, all the things going on with pedestrian safety, so one doesn't have to search five or six websites to search for the issue and i

am representing district 7 and i am hoping what comes out of this hearing is a model, a process that other districts could use to duplicate and have coordination around that, so one of the things i didn't want to have happen is just to have a hearing and listen and continue to process the way it always has been. i think i have asked -- i am very grateful to the controller's office. i am working with them to compile a list of the priority intersections that will aggregate both the city, what the city is working on and what we heard today by the public; the public comments, and i want to bring us all together again when this list has been compiled, prioritizing the intersections and make sure

that we didn't forget anything and once we get a report that consolidates everything that anybody -- whether myself or the public can look at it and say this is what is happening in district 7. these are the priorities we're looking at. by the way i don't think that's the right priority. maybe we need to tweak certain things and things happen and we need to understand that the city is not just stagnant. as everybody from the different departments have mentioned they have plans, they have different things in the works right now that are happening today, maybe happening tomorrow and so forth, but the problem is that it's really hard for the public and myself to get a handle of what everybody is doing and by getting a handle on it there's opportunities to be -- or transparency for the public to then respond and maybe make sense of what we have as priorities this year, five years

out, but next year something might happen. some project put a thousand residents somewhere changes things and all of a sudden we need to look at the priority on an on going basis and by the way i know you have the projects for the next five years but i think we should really think about this new situation that we have, so again i want to thank everybody that participated in this. this is not going to be the last thing you will hear from me on this issue and i am willing to work with anybody, any department, any public people out there that have concerns so thank you very much for this particular segment on this agenda item on the hearing for pedestrian safety on district 7. chair. >> thank you and let's continue this item to the call of the chair to this hearing. okay. and thanks adom barrett for being here the whole time. i

know how late the guy comes. mr. evans please call the next item. we will get through it as quickly as we can. >> item the for the pedestrian safety advisory committee. >> thank you and i know supervisor breed has a statement. i will apologize i can't join the hearing today. two weeks ago zach marks contacted me to request a hearing before the board. and he informed me by the by laws they're supposed to update the board of supervisors each quarter. i know others have done it in the past yet the committee hasn't had the opportunity to do so in a year. pedestrian safety is extremely important to me. i am actively working on improvement projects

including masonic boulevard and bike lanes and the octavia corridor and it's a critical of san francisco transportation and safety efforts and i am grateful that the board will have an opportunity to hear from the members directly today. thank you. so that is a statement from supervisor breed. i would like to introduce markiewiczs>> >> thank you for having me here today. as you know and heard today the facts are alarming and demand further action. personally i am saddened every month as we hear about victim after victim getting run down in our streets. as you know san francisco is the most deadly city for pedestrians and fourth deadly nationwide. founded in 2003 we have been charged with

providing guidance to the board of supervisors and represent the public at large. during our meetings we conducted business differently and moving at a faster pace-- and yesterday we received a very nice letter from senator mark leno. we received the street light pilot project and

received updates from the traffic company on the recent collisions and the number of citations as well. we also receive regular updates from the sfmta and spoken to them on a number of occasions on issues like the corridor speed reduction program and the traffic calming program you heard about. regarding the true traffic calming program from the sf mta. there was one survey but the funding was cut to $6,000 and the equivalent of -- p sac san -- went on a

tour of the san francisco neighborhood read by dr. marty mcentire. following our tour i am happy to announce that most of the crosswalk have been newly painted continental style and curb ramps have been installed around the campus. the chief of public safety and the master plan manager presented to --

unfortunately usf is delaying the plan for moving forward and in my opinion has demonstrated a clear disregard for public safety and public health: sf mta submitted plans six months ago and hasn't received the plans or comments for final review. until they receive the plans from usf they're unable to provide plans-- yet the usf website doesn't mention pedestrian safety once. in contrast we-- and in

addition the sf mta has done a wonderful job. in addition our committee -- i recently joined the sf transportation committee and focuses on financial constrained scenarios for the plan and evaluated the methodologyand our goal is ensure traffic calming and pedestrian safety is properly addressed as part of san francisco overall transportation plan. unfortunately they don't have a dedicated representative to send to the meetings. following this meeting i will be step across the hall to the rules committee where we are appointing three new members to our committee. some members have resigned and during this past year and

mr. rothman which you mentioned and we are recruiting new members as half of the seats are vacant. we recruited other possible appointees. i reached out to the best friend of the victim which you saw today and she will join as the student representative. you heard from john winston and friends of monterey boulevard and will be joining us also. supervisor wiener's office will present his legislative package on april 9 and in addition we plan on riding along with the sfpd on sting operations in the near future. april 9 we plan on requesting that the sfpd do the sting operations more often and expand to new locations. seeking to be engaged in these

efforts they have engaged them scprt departments to involve our committee and the public during the commencement of projects until after the fact. unfortunately we are rarely notified about pedestrian safety issues. for example i haven't seen any reply about the mayor's task force which is already met and i find out things only through the news once they are reported. there is obviously a clear lack of communication and coordination between the departments. moving forward we promise to speak for those without a voice and those that have been killed or hurt and like you heard earlier the three people hit by cars in our great city. we take seriously now the privilege of representing san francisco citizens and their best interest and we promise to advance in a new direction with unrelenting resolve to effect meaningful change in the result of th consequences.

thank you. >> thank you mr. marks. anyone from the public that would like to speak? please come forward. if there is someone else please come forward now. >> i appreciate the statement from the chair of pedestrian safety advisory committee swrark marks. i particularly appreciate his constructive analysis of the pedestrian strategy. this document does not comprise any specific points about accessible pedestrian signals for people with disabilities. it omits that and it also omits a critical analysis how we're coordinating safety programs with bicyclists and pedestrians. there's been several forums that have happened in the last six months. we are -- let us keep in heart

and mind and soul it was a year ago this week a woman of a bicyclist collision at 17th market and castro passed away at sf general hospital so let's coordinate the actions and communications of all the agencies with p sac and the conclusion of safety rules and enforcement for the vulnerable seniors and pedestrians with disabilities. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> yes. i am bridgette turnin and with balboa terrace and i am saddened about all the deaths. there is an intersection on monterey boulevard and holloway where we lost a friend. he was hit by a motorists and he was

in the crosswalk with his father so after that i have been very active in safety within my community. i myself with two other people from my neighborhood [inaudible] had requested 16 stop signs at intersections. we have supervisor ma who is not in my district helped us implementing 12 of the intersections with stop signs. there is an intersection at aptoas and darion that i have been trying to get a speed hump. i got a stop sign at that one intersection but it's a block down from the middle school. i had sf mta come out and [inaudible] banks said it didn't need a speed hump but it's at a grade so you're going downhill.

it's a blind spot so you're turning from darion on to aptoas and make the left you're blinded and the principal was at the intersection and try to help kids crossing two and from and we have a stop sign but we call it darion dl. opolis and there are cars that have accidents there but the police don't come to an accident unless someone is actually hurt so the statistics you heard earlier we don't have funds for police officers so that number inaccurate. thank you. >> thank you. anyone else who would like to speak? seeing none public comment is closed can we continue this item to the call of the chair with no objection and thank you to

everyone for coming out today. there evans is there any more business before us? >> that concludes the disblbs okay. meeting adjourned. thank you.
