11:30 am
for this project. moving forward those are the projects we're able to recommend for funding. the community process was completed very quickly and efficiently for this project. it's a joint project with the municipal transportation and department of public works. we're recommending a little bit less than requested to make sure we downsize the program. the balance we're going to do use prop k so fast one is fully funded for the bike project. and again for context of the next page it's actually a map of where the projects are. other two promotions we have in
11:31 am
our packet here is the second street streetscape project. so this is totally within that project. so we're going actually recommending about $4 million less than what we requested. we'll talk about how some prop k fund we help fill in this gap to provide for an the $4 million. the second street streetscape project. i apologize on the power points there's a meeting on may '33 that already happened. this project is recommending the full funding here. there's some center nund u funding in the mayors project. it includes lighting.
11:32 am
dp w is looking for the clearance of the project it's a bike lane. so we're going to work with them to determine the level on that project. the final two projects going up is the ma sonic area project. it was reduced to $18 million. and mtas is commented to using $8 million in bond. so the one bay area is reduced to 10 million and therefore balancing the project. the phase 4 project this project is essentially again, the fourth phase of the chinatown project is from columbus.
11:33 am
so it's a big focus and it's north of the broadway tunnel. we created a target pot of funds for the school projects. this loud us to let them compete on their own and not compete against the bigger projects. so we have a school project at the elementary school project that's within the chinatown project so that's within the 5.6 - >> i believe it is - ? >> this will be my final slide. we took those recommendations to our voices committee and it was approved unanimously to be in
11:34 am
front of full board next week and then we move those recommendation onto the metropolitan committees. and the funding will be available in november or december. the funding schedules are included >> actually, i'm wondering will the mta how much is coming from the transportation authority. i know that commissioner campos has a long meeting come up so this will be helpful as he and supervisor wiener our two reps to the m t c is important >> so the street project 10.2 million from the grant project and 8 million so that
11:35 am
provides a local match. >> commissioner campos. >> thank you. i appreciate the presentation. a couple of things i wonder if you can talk about the process you followed in terms of the allocation of the thai - 35 million. looking at the map there are some districts that may not be getting any funding so i'm wondering if you can talk about that. have you had discussions with each supervisor to make sure they understand sort of how the decision was made and how things were prioritized or not and a -
11:36 am
>> since may of last year one of the key things and one of the reasons you're seeing with you so is we're mandatory to spend those funds within the city and the map shows the priority development areas. it's called approximate access to provided a major connection to lead into several development areas. so that kind of constrains where we can spend the funding. we were able to exceed that goal. in terms of process we took the prioritization through the board process and that's included in our packet in attachment 3.
11:37 am
really went through the actual the easiest breakdown is the project readiness. that's a humanely issue we wanted to look at. projects that have already gone through and on their way to get environmental clearance. they have been there and the cost solid. so that's another thing we looked at. and the final piece oh, of course. complete street projects wanted to really make sure that if a project is meeting ail those projects we're moving forward >> thank you. i appreciate that i think it's important to provide that prospective and i know one of the projects that's not being
11:38 am
funded i understand. but i think it's important especially for the newer supervisors to be briefed as much as possible so they have an understanding of why we have to do it this way there are limits we have to contend with >> i know i want to say that the one bay area grants are critical not only for transportation planning but as he regional level of the job growth hopefully, we're balancing those in the your honor, and - we're looking at cap and trade for the state and
11:39 am
so the housing needs and mitigating the growth and jobs will allow us to do better planning and minimize displacement at the resemble &al and in our city as well as. on the ma sonic boulevard and projects this gentleman mentioned that it's been a several year process along ma t
11:40 am
is approved they would look at a more extensive way to develop
11:41 am
the mitigation of the parking and allows the residents to have access to parking. also when large projects of $18.5 million of ma softening move forward i want to look at the mitigation to address the residents concerns. but the safety along ma sonic one gentleman who lives near an fulton i want to make sure we have a better and complete street on ma sonic. and having been involved in my school days as school board leaders and parents we're concerned about the number of families and students along the corridor but to ma many private and public schools along that corridor. but i wanted to say that before
11:42 am
we start to hear from public comments. we have to have our board of supervisors chamber in not two long so we're going to limit comments to two minutes per person. and with 30 seconds to go there will be a short ding to people and hopefully, you'll wrap up. i'm going to call the people roughly in the order of the speaker cards. you don't have to speak in the order you were called
11:43 am
(calling names) so it doesn't have to be that ord order. either microphone will work >> i'm ed. i'm here on behalf of my family. not very far from ma sonic. we've been there a number of years. safety on the street is a prim certain. i used to walk my daughter to school and we've also had her walk to school. and we've also noticed 80 that safety on the street is an issue. now, mr. wilson my partner couldn't be here but he'd love to articulate this further.
11:44 am
my daughter got her first paying job downtown they both commute. but the important thing here is street safety and i don't think that putting bike baselines down the street is a way to address this. you're going to compromise our parking of the residents that live adjacent to the ma sonic 3 corridor that places an undue burden to us residents. i'm a senior citizen
11:45 am
we love biking. my husband bikes a lot. but we don't think that getting rid of all this parking without input from the families. i've talked to hundreds of
11:46 am
people. and majority had idea this was quin going in. the bike coalition decided to push this through and the city said sorry it's already approved. it's impacting the community my neighbor who drives to - my neighbors are trying to decide should they go to private school are my friend howard is in a wheelchair and everyone is against this and feel they have no voice in. >> i'm going to call a few more
11:47 am
names (calling names) >> next speaker >> hi i'm a 17 year resident at ma sonic. i agree with the last peculiar. most of the people in my neighborhood weren't aware of this until it was passed. so i'm not anti bike, i'm not pro car but this is going to be a hardship on the neighborhood. i think that baker street would be a better choice thank you
11:48 am
>> next speaker >> good morning i oppose this project. i live ma sonic on a daily basis. i work on the corridor on oak street. i can see first-hand the negative effect of moving 90 spaces that has had in my area and the businesses surrounding my office in addition to the oak street commute lane. we're talking about moving more spaces besides the 90 parking spaces. there's been no study regarded the target store and the old fire man's building is going to be developed upwards of 70 new units. i was born and raised here may
11:49 am
family all have cars. i'm not going to put my son on the bus. the 43 bus line has over 13 thousand daily riders and the ma sonic has 13 thousand car trips and we have businesses the elderly and others will be negatively impacted. i think it's time for the board of supervisors to not approve projects hundreds of units without streetcar parking don't make sense >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hi i'm doug i'm a 23 year homeowner on the seven hundred
11:50 am
block of ma sonic. i want to thank you. you talk about being prepared. i didn't get any notification. i occupy both of my flats and not no notification. i also work in construction and i look at blue prints. when i looked at this i don't see a good plan you're going to chocolate traffic and take away parking. i was one of the construction people on ma sonic that had two layers of parking more than enough parking. you can't take way the parking. i'm also a biker.
11:51 am
someone who spoke is central i don't ride on a central taking away two commute baselines all night i hear horns. you're going to be losing revenue and people moving. parking is a premium and it shouldn't be taken away. the man who spoke before me had the numbers you should listen to those >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hello. it seems this project is flawed. number one there's a precipitation on the boards presumption that the community has been initialing this. i live in the neighborhood and
11:52 am
no notices come through. there's a miss communication and miss preparation about the way this thing has been moving forward. it's a train that's left the station and nobody can make any changes. it's going to benefit a very narrow sector of society. it's for many different families and this is not going to do it. who benefits from this? >> certainly the bike riders do but in coping hag this is a very narrow beneficial project. the businesses on the street and the schools all of the side streets where people have to drive around an hour plus
11:53 am
looking for parking. any parents who are draifg their children will choke the road down to one lane. it seems to me this project should be stopped completely >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hello. i'm a resident living between central and lion an area that's being directly impacted by this proposed design pit together. i've living on ma clarity and i hope you'll take a hard look at this. not just a curry one. it doesn't allow for safety.
11:54 am
the two major problems number one very few people have been notified about the sessions. i'm also out in the neighborhood and i heard nothing about the planning sessions. it only focuses on ma sonic and half a block on either side. the opinion powell is the second problem is part of this study had only a one hundred and 13 people responding in the to the population in page 57 of your study. and it has a block of 10 thousand people. additionally there are 4 major problems with the conclusion number one there's been no study with an environmental impact report. the impact on the traffic is opening at ma sonic and gary and
11:55 am
the traffic described on page fourteen was done when there's no large store there. and third no large vehicles will be able to get along this route and fourth the plan is focused on ma sonic. you need to do two things not fund this today. this needs to be - >> thank you, sir. >> thank you there needs to be large meetings. >> thank you. next speaker and before this people (calling names) mr. griffin.
11:56 am
>> yes hello, i'm larry griffin. i've would on ma clarity between line and central for 58 years. i never heard about the project. i heard there was some plans but was never notified about any meetings i would have been all over this. i think there's been no plan or thought given to the neighborhoods on west or east of ma sonic and how the parking is going to effect the neighborhood. you have sf students all with cars. i'm not anti bike but there are cars folks and to get rid of crucial parking is not a smart plan. i'm also a former fire
11:57 am
commissioner and i think that commissioner bred can see there maybe problems trying to negotiate the traffic. if a bus stops you've got one lane and if i've got first responders trying to get through it's a real that public safety issue. that's not been taken into consideration. who people come out of their garages they're going to have trouble.
11:58 am
people speed on that corridor all the time they should be getting thank you very much >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please and a hello. >> i'm opposed to the project s in its present form. i think we shed wait until the traffic has at about studied. someone put a flier on my car a sort of while ago. we need more neighbor input and losing those spaces would be a disaster and 10 deaths on this major corridor it's obviously terrible. and there's already a bike
11:59 am
baselines on the north south part already. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please >> so the lower one t is what? the one on your left is the microphone. so madam the microphone on the left. >> so i'm a thirty year residents and we've never had garages. we've also had parking problems. by the amount of cars in the neighborhood has graduate reputed. in the 80s they already said the parking lot in our neighborhood
