people and to include the school district and in this discussion. because i think that you know, their plans long term whether it is an assignment or a dramatic placements, might have some relevance in terms of what we prioritize, but other than that, i want to thank you and i appreciate also, the emphasis on the lingual communities because that is really important to make sure that they are a part of this process and that they understand, what is happening, that they themselves have a say, and in the priorities, thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner kim? >> i am just to add on to commissioner campos's comments. and i want to concur on the out reach and the process that happened for the 5 l and the tp process there and it would be great that if before the next full commission hearing next week when we finally vote on this item, we could get a sense of the community out reach that has been planned for the full

tp plan. and so, i did sit down with sfmta and know that they are committed for doing a robust process and i think that is the primary concern in feedback but i will continue and what we expect the plans and programs committee back in november was just insuring that there is going to be a good process, because i think that there are all of these concerns and questions about the tap and some that might be justified and some that might be addressed through this process. >> thank you, mr. haily. >> i will just leave you not for an over kill, but i think that it is important that as we go from concepts in to reality, that i will leave you with sample of the 8 x, and show you where we would apply some of this 13 million in seed money and want example of one of how it saved travel time. so, i will leave that. thank you. >> mr. chairman and the

committee members. >> thank you. >> so, colleagues? with no other questions, let's open this up for public comment, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> ibob plantrol i came to subject to thal le indication for the recommended out reach contract and the over allal location of money and this past saturday, the contractor had a first focus group for seniored and disable and no one from the mta cac or from the transportation, or the council was on this. and the concepts proposed were mun dates and trite and not specific to our con stit you entcy. the larger issue is what is ignored here, the tep cuts out stops. and that is often said, overly to help to speed up things, for

years i have been asking mta, everything now, supposed to be data driven, where is the data of how it will effect the senior and people with disabilities and how it will effect the increases of collisions for pedestrians who have to go a block or a block and a half and they don't have it, they don't know how to get it, they don't have time to contact other agencies. and it is a process, of avoid, evade and deny. on those questions. and frankly, i am going to make this a political issue. all of you who campaign, recite the mantra of diversity. but when it comes to people who are weaker, less mobile than you, all that you say is let's talk. and you don't hold mta's feet to the fire about how this is going to hurt. seniors and people with disabilities. >> how it will effect us. you are favoring the many and

ignoring the vulnerable. by going ahead with recommending both the fullal location, but also thal location, for the out reach subcontractor that is the problem. >> thank you. is there anyone else that would like to speak? >> mr. flanagin? would you like to? >> i would just, i would just like to say that the things that i have seen on the buses

and on the streets like the bicycle riders riding on the sidewalk, and when the taxis come up to have somebody that is mobility and to come on to the sidewalk, the wheelchair can't get on the sidewalk because of overcrowding bicycles. and overcrowding shopping carts. and i would like to have it safe for the these kind of people when they get off of the or out of the taxi and, out of a para transit vehicle. as well as coming out of the bus, as well. it disturbs me a little bit

when i see the problem and i fry to help the individuals that have half of the problems. most of these people have vision impairments, or most of them have other impairments. but, i would like to, i would like to see some improvement, on the sidewalks and streets, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else that would like to speak? >> hello there commissioners my name is jakie sacks and commissioner kim is in a november meeting, and the meeting before, was, and this item was brought up. when we first heard about this

item, and the item was brought in front of the city and the city, and they are here and he said,, and i totally agree with him and he said that it is not increasing service, it is decreasing service. and they are taking it and they are not taking it into consideration. and they are swing in the brave yard and the people that worked after 6:00 downtown, the people that work in hotels. in bars and the people that serve food and food, and the people that are coming in from the airport. and that take bart what want to get to their hotel and come ng late at night and come home, and take bart to the station and get on the muni and they want to get to it, and they did not and, they totally ignore the senior disabled community, and the people, the people that work after 5:00, and i have

spoken out against what is they are trying to do because it is not, it is not helping service, it is ruining service, everything was running fine before december 5, 2009. but they cut service, and they stopped service after a certain times and because the people have to, and the people go to sleep at midnight, but there are other people that work all night long and work the different hours and they don't take that into crar ration and they totally ignored, the mta totally ignored the hours of testimony that i gave and other drivers, and people from the union gave this sort of thing and i think that is totally..., take that into consideration and do not approve this item. >> okay. >> like i said a couple of months ago. >> thank you, is there anyone else that would like to speak from the public? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. and actually amber, from the ta. >> just a clarification in

response in the comments, this allocation request is just for the staff and i believe that the consultant contract that he was speaking about was already awarded with the different sources and so this is only frontier stuff. >> and i want to weigh in and say that the whole goal of the transit effectively project is to increase service and to really, i think this is a really to the out reach and taking that input to implementation. and i think that the public distrusts that has been mentioned in the public comment is not just the staff this time but in october and november, i think that the mta is really being self-critical about that. and i think as commissioner kim has recommended, to have very clear implementation plans presented here, and keeping us as commissioners in the loop and the ta as well, is something that the mta is committed to, and i think that

sean kennedy's work is a great example and the 5 h limited but there are other examples of the vulnerable populations that were committed to do and increasing it and the better system of functioning of the transit system in the city. and i did want to also say that i think that my expectation as a chair of the committee is that we would have regular if possible, monthly written updates and a occasional presentations that really keep us, the transportation authority, commissioners in the loop on the key projects of the tep and as i mentioned earlier, the implementation plans that are clearer and possible to delivered to be our office and to maintain that level of out reach that has been talked about in this meeting and, some have suggested in the previous meetings, continuing the effort that the mta and the others have done with the bilingual out reach to the immigrant speaking populations that may

need that additional bi lingual materials and sensitivity as well. >> commissioner breed? >> i know that you are all schedule to come back with information about how out reach is going within the next six months. according to the information that i have. and i want to make sure that that is accurate. correct? >> there is a plan to come back and do a presentation at plans and programs about the out reach efforts. and i want to reiterate how important the out reach efforts are to me, especially because what sadly happens is you know, some people come back after the fact, and they did not know anything about it. and i understand that we are not going to be able to always get to everybody. but, again, i want to make a point of in those developments, that have, you know, large populations of seniors in particular, and it is just a lot easier, to go to those

locations and, to expect them to come to a different location, or come to nta for a meeting. and taking that input and not already pushing a plan forward. but taking that input seriously. and making the changes accordingly, so that it effectively serves, the population that we want to serve and that is, everyone in san francisco, but more importantly, we don't want to create obstacles to persons with disabilities, and especially we don't want to add obstacles to the senior community. so, that out reach component is one of the most important to me. because there is a lot of money being invested or asked for in this particular component and i want to make sure that every dollar is spent wisely and we do a really great job with our out reach as it result to this particular plan, thank you. >> thank you, commissioner kim. >> thank you, and actually just

a question to staff, and is this the last capitol funding that the transportation authority will be approving for the tep? or will there be other kind of milestones that this board will be able to weigh in on the tep process? >> good morning, director, commissioner kim this is not likely to be the last funding request that they will make of this body through the prop aa funding as well as the future prop k funding and we can expect the additional capitol implementation funds, but this is going to be the largest one for a little while in terms of the design process. from the out reach that is included in the design process. >> great, because i do support this capitol funding program moving forward. i think that it is a good project and obviously this is for the fiscal improvements for the tep plan which has general support in our community and is going to actually also be great in terms of a lot of our

concerns around making pedestrian safety improvements als well, and for the greater space is also going to help ultimatessinger, and on the pedestrian safety front. and but as you know as the process moves forward and there is going to be a lot of dialogue, and feedback as we continue to run the greater tep process whether it is the elimination of the stops, or other sorts of, or changes in the service, patterns. and so, just wanted to insure that this board will have an opportunity to weigh in at other points in periods of time and that this will not be the last and that the other points that we get to weigh in are not just informational items but i am happy to support this today and out of plans and programs. >> thank you. >> colleagues, if there are no other comments, could we take this item with a positive recommendation without objection? >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next item? >> 9, introduction of new items this is an information item >> thank you.

let's open up for public comment is there anyone that would like to speak? >> seeing none, public comment closed. call the next item. >> public comment. >> is there anyone from the public that would like to say anything else. >> public xhebt is closed. >> is there any business before us. >> no item 11, adjournment, thank you. >> thank you everyone, meeting adjourned.
