california in u.s. and actually delivering these products. i object their latest line they have 5 large brt lines. their latest line came within three years. ours, just to get through environmental review is taking forever and will take another 3 or 4 years to get van ness brt built. granted mexico probably doesn't have the same regulatory constraints that we do here in california and ceqa and other facts but it points to the fact that years ago we used to be able to deliver these large important quality of life changing infrastructure projects expeditiously. and today 1brt line takes many many

years long and we have to improve that process. >> thank you, also what was remarkable was the bus system in mexico city previously consisted of a lot of private drivers and now they have joined to one metro bus system and trying to figure out how to break apart these different organizations to one. the congestion and traffic are incredible. the saturation that i have ever seen in my life and it's really hard to get around. 20 million people live in the city and it's very important to be able to move forward and the metro system is always on the table. i will finish my comments. i want to encourage the commissions to attend the

board workshop on the transportation plan which is the longest vision for the dealing with the existing needs, pedestrian safety and transit crowding and how we want to shape our transportation for the future. the workshop is thursday may 30th from 1:30 to 5:30 on market street. that concludes my remarks. if there is no questions from colleagues we can go to public comment. two minutes. >> i took this to mexico. many in san francisco finding out how our roads are clogged. i

think when you go to a place in a city like mexico is an important place to learn a lot of things. we need to try our best to address the traffic flow in san francisco. this has been addressed any main press and i do not see any action happening right here in the chamber. even as i'm speaking there are people having side bars, others busy on their iphones and this is a problem with representation. if the representatives think they know everything and yet they don't want to listen to the constituents because many of advocates are fed up with you so we don't come here. so the least you can do is do what you are supposed to do. in

conclusion let me tell you it's good that we have a process here like ceqa. we need a process. but what we really need in these chambers is sound representation which is lacking. thank you very much. >> thank you. any other public member would like to comment? >> good morning chair avalos. my name is jackie sacs. i'm the member of the advisory committee. when you were in mexico, regarding the bike plan, did it coordinate with the buses? did they have ada

compliant buses with the wheelchair lifts? did you see any conflicts because it's a major issue here in san francisco. that's what i wanted to bring up. >> thank you. we did see on the metro bus system that they had access for wheelchairs and wheelchairs strapped in and they have ramps that you were able to get on the metro bus system. there is a long way to bring harmony on the streets between mexico city and cars and bikes. there is a major route set up for buses and cars in the city. bike are hard pressed to the safe. we were riding a lot and we felt we

were putting our life's in our hands. there is a long way to go. cars and buses have the right away and everyone else has to look out for their lives. >> thank you very much. >> okay. going on to our next item. >> the clerk: item no. 4. directors report. >> i will be very brief. you have the executive director report at your desk. it will also be posted on the website by this afternoon. just a few highlights at the state level. governor brown released his may revision to the budget. not a lot regarding transportation. there is a general budget comment. the government was conservative in relation to budget. there is a $2.8 billion

more in revenue available. they will decide how much they want to use versus set aside for another year. there is no noteworthy change. this is upsetting for a lot of members who wanted to go to cap and trad. there is a significant legislation going on. and some agencies are responsible for dolg out and using the -- it may not be fully prepared to do so. we'll see how it fares. the money will be paid out eventually. third results are due any day now so that will give us how much funds are available. very quickly, the plan bay area, the regional transportation bay area, the

final address in july. we submitted letters of comments to metropolitan transportation agency. they said before san francisco did very well in this plan which is especially trying to coordinate and incentivize better transportation to make the best of our transportation dollars. there is a lot of advocacy and follow up. exciting news on the central subway even to get non-engineers and excited. the tunnel machines that are going to drill the two tunnels are arriving. april 25th the first one arrives and the second one is in early june. the first driving of the first board,

there is going to be some celebration and major event with that construction of that project moving forward and finally on comments. van ness brt reached two amazing milestones. one is before you today, there are two, an -- allocation in getting the caltrans, state department of traption -- transportation to sign off on 104 projects. this is difficult. on a state highway that requires an enormous amount of perseverance. kudos for the projects team. 19th avenue

transit study. this is a study that has a really innovative group of partners working together. authorities, caltrans, san francisco state university and gallery and other state agencies looking at the possibility of relining the motion view for the parks of merced. there is information available on the website and there is an outreach coming this fall. i will close with two more comments with respect to the bike sharing we are allocating funds in the agenda later today. for those interested there is an open session at city hall about the bike share program. this is a regional pilot that will take

from santa clara and san francisco. lastly the chair calls for the controllers office to do a performance audit of the authority and the city has completed the authority of the city and agency stuff and finished their surveys of other similar entities of california and we expect to see the audit available in the next couple of weeks. that concludes my remarks. >> this you for being brief and would like to open for public comment? any member is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> we can take a recess and come back here at 1220. we are >> okay. we are back from oakland rotundum. i want to

>> 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 to 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.

was the supervisor he threatened to charge me rent. the airport is before you today to seek your approval to the first amendment to the existing curb side management contract. to exercise the first option here through june of 2014. the airport has used a variety of services since 1999, in order to manage and monitor the airport's ground transportation services as well as to increase the use of various modes of transportation through better customer service through the passengers. the existing contract is the result of a request for proposal process which was approved by the board in 2010, the amendment before you extends the term of the contract for another year and increases the total contract amount by $14 million. for a scope of work that includes management and monitoring of the airport shared ride van zones, limousine and taxi operations. the cost of the contract is

funded with collected revenue from ground transportation trip fees from the companies who access the airport's curbs, roadways and passengers. the airport does agree with the budget analyst recommendations to reduce the contract costs by approximately $430,000. this is achieved through reductions in proposed fridge benefits as well as remaining money from the original not-to-exceed the amount that was not sent. for a new total not-to-exceed the amount of $14,636,814, for this new contract year. the clerk of the board office does mention that our original resolution neglected to include a whereas clause, referencing the original boards of apropal contract and so the resolution has been amended to include that reference to the november, 2010 board approval and other than that, i u
