>> okay, colleagues comments, questions? >> public comment? >> i'm very familiar with this item and i approved it previously, but one thing you have to remember is that when you are working on van ness which is a state highway that there is no -- that trucks also travel on van ness. when they are doing and working on van ness you have to remember there is signed posted on franklin and golf. but there are signs posted on both streets saying no heavy trucks allowed on those streets. you have to take that into consideration before anything goes forward while they are working on this. thank you very much. >> thank you. any other member

of the public comment? we'll close public comment. let's do a roll call. >> the clerk: avalos, breed, campos, aye, chiu, cohen, ferrel, ferrel absent. commissioner kim, moore, tang absent, wiener, yee, the item passes. >> okay. we'll go on to our next text. item no. 12. >> the clerk: item 12: introduction of new items information during this segment of the meeting, board members may make comments on items not specifically listed above, or introduce or request items sf 121234 >> last time at the finance committee we considered the item proposed. today i would like to provide input to the planning to work program and request that the planning staff work with planners on a

broadway chinatown neighborhood transportation plan for which i understand there is also some regional funds. as a focus of the neighborhood transportation plan i would like to request that the study examine ways to mitigate the heavy traffic flows on broadway between van ness and central corridor downtown. this quarter has born a very high volume of vehicle trips since the 50s when the broadway connector was between lombardy and the interstate 405. at this time after embarcadero became the blvd, i this i we need to rebalance the flows and economic plan. in addition to the safety and economy measure along broadway, the left turn capacity at van ness onto broadway and the development of alternative

routines or modes to accommodate travel demand. i also hope there will be coordination with golden gate transit and adding additional service. my staff and i are very interested in seeing this moving forward to test some pilots of these ideas. i know supervisor ferrel has interest in looking also at some of the impacts of what we are talking about on lombardy street and i have hope that my office can work with the ta staff to get this moving forward. >> you have inspired me with your comments about going to oakland earlier. i think going forward my suggestion let's recess every ta meeting to see steven curry as much as possible. i think a lot of men and women would appreciate that. >> thank you for your comments. >> can we go on public

comment? any member of the public would like to comment on what we should be doing as a body? >> avalos you said there was going to be a workshop at the ta headquarters at 1455 market 22nd floor regarding the future plans for transit in the city. like i said earlier, i happen to be on the advisory committee for this item. now, one thing i brought up at the last subcommittee meeting is you have to remember whats in prop b, what has been completed in

prop b, what has not completed in prop b and what is brought over into prop k, what was added into prop k and figure out what projects will be done under prop k and like i said earlier, you will have to go before the voters again to extend prop k to get more funding for any of these projects. so before you plan 30 years in the future, i suggest you look on what can be done now and fix the system now before anything else goes wrong. thank you very much. >> thank you. okay, if there is no other member of the public who would like to comment we'll close public comment. >> next item? >> the clerk: item 13 public comment. >> is there any additional
