the transit is supposed to be rail ready and if it's supposed to be rail ready and it has to stop at the union square it should be rail ready you should everyone should do their homework and see the documents and see what's been done in the past to the future. thank you very much >> thank you very much other members of the puc public that want to speak in general public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk >> item 11 adjournment thank you. this meeting is

undertaking in regards to the negligent avenue plan and the sfmta plan and along the sunset boulevard. i think it's critical on the western see of the city with the proposals we look at seriously how to make the agenda for solid and lincoln systems. when i see college avenue we may need a different view on how to get parties involved to help the areas and pedestrians. i hope you'll consider my documents and that includes my resumes. i've worked on transit and a

locomotive projects and other projects under my belt are applicable to those >> i know you used to live near park merry kidney what districts are you in. >> i'm in district 11 right now. >> okay. thank you. next speaker >> hello norman i'll glen rogers i'm applying for the citizens advisory committee for the district 7. i have been a member of district 7 for many years many decades. i was born in my house here i'm

a member of etna. as a landscape architect i've studied transportation and different site planning situations and have sent to the board of supervisors any negligent avenue transit study you may have had an opportunity to look at. so this particular study gave me insight into the adjudication on negligent avenue. i'm sure you're aware of the project goes into park merced and not a straight line that is usually desirable for rapid transit. there's a business bias no stop at the ocean boulevard and however there's going to be

stops for new businesses created by the developer and stones town. i know the best idea would be able to keep the businesses that are there flushing. and that's it i have time for >> thank you, mr. rogers. supervisor yee >> are there any other candidates that would like to speak? open this up for public comment is there anyone from the public who wishes to speak? and a good morning i'm jackie saks. i worked with the gentleman since he's been on the committee i strongly urge you reappointment i him. a few years ago a woman michelle

told you about how long she's been riding muni and i think she would be an asset so the committee there's only 3 females on the citizens advisory committee if you want diversity involve another female on the committee she knows the transit system inside and out she's an asset to the committee >> thank you. >> i strongly approve peter being reappointed. >> anyone else public comment is closed. supervisor yee. currently i'm still interviewing people for the district 7

the next project sfmta has requested a prop k fund for the 5 intersections to leverage the prompt project funds. this includes the hardware and programs. sfmta coordinating this project with the depending on masonic avenue which will add curbs to accountability intersection as far as the project area. sfmta also complooiment it's project with other construction which is impartial funded by target to have improvements for the left turn and sfmta anticipates the completion of the construction by may 2015

sfmta expects the design to be completed by the 2014 this year and the construction to be completed by 2018. they have the program funds for the construction phase. and for the last project dwp requests prop k for the reconstruction of 9988 at 15 intersections please refer to page 69 for the locations of the intersections and dwp expects the construction to be completed that he 2016 if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them and dwp. thank you. i did want to comment to say those projects are important given the urgency and supervisor yee districts

where the little girl was killed on pulp and ellis where the project eddy is. i think it's urgent we move quickly so there's no further tragedies. and the identification and design and delivering of the project i'm hoping can move fast to get the quickest streets improved. in my district the traffic lights an gary and 22 understanding and 26 avenue are critical around schools. for years folks have asked asked for the improvements and i'm how have near the st. mary's church

and others areas thank you, ms. kim i strongly support this item. any other comments supervisor campos >> thank you very much mr. chairman and the presentation. on the curb ramps. i know that work is happening citywide do you know sort of where exactly and i imagine that all the industrial districts will benefit >> are you asking for the areas. >> yes. >> look at package 19 of the evenly closer dwp has listed did locations to be constructed. and it shows the district numbers. but again, this is only for this request >> i understand. okay >> sure. >> i wanted to acknowledge also

that a number of project sponsors are here as well that can answer questions if we have any. ms. kim i'll mention i see jonathan and rick r riccardo i think those are the engineers and the staff that can answer questions. let's open this up for public comment. i have two cards (calling names) from the merry kidney triangle and aaron good man >> hi, good morning. i'm bringing to our attention a traffic calming measure that will be beneficial for 3 streets. a permanent radar panel similar to the 1 on slope boulevard and masonic and those are in areas

that have high traffic accidents are pedestrian deaths. al mean boulevard near st. charles and brotherhood ease also sunset boulevard between ocean. and there are in 3 different districts but i believe those 3 locates will be beneficial for cars traveling in those corridors. they're heavyly used corridor and traffic flows well beyond the speed limits. i have a comment on the traffic study but i'll wait. thank you very much >> thank you for those great suggestions. mr. goodman >> again day i want to show you on the overhead if you can switch to the overhead.

this is the type of problem we have board boulevards and as well as transit planning so that was sunset boulevard and unfortunately, the little girl was killed going across the boulevard. if you look at the map on the side you have the judy a 3 schools and on the map further i don't know if it's showing up properly but there's 3 or 2 different crossings the judy district attorney and the slow boulevard area. those things have to be looked at all the kids in those areas and the high-speed traffic we need to study the whole length

of the boulevard and the area on ocean boulevard we have the crossing guard their tacked to the highlight there looks like randolph and that's part of the congestion problem when development occurs without the transit stuff studied without properly in advance. thank you >> thank you, mr. goodman anyone else? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> good morning supervisor mar i want to address our comment about how much target is putting in for the signal work. and we have our gentleman here who says its approximately 4 hundred thousand. would the traffic light near

masonic and gary bus it's on ann assistant district attorney and masonic. and that's an area that enter seconds 1, 2, and 5 very closely alcohol but it's good that target is that troin i attributing. can we move this forward >> planning code guidelines this is an informational item. >> we have chad for the report. >> good morning supervisor mar. i'm with the ta i'll be presenting on item 7 with a neighborhood transportation improvement program a planning section we're representing the

draft. we've referred to this throughout the presentation. why develop and propose something like that? sf has a response as part of the san francisco transmission plan on socioin terms of where we build and pedestrian bike projects and improvements. also a respond from the public and the board as part of the constituent received. finally, it's a respond inform recommendation in the san francisco recommendation plans as far as calling out the need to strengthen pipeline in san francisco. so we talked about we presented we included in the agenda in december a little memo on end tips it will be focusing on

planning and we have conversations about the planning. so we're proposing using the $100,000 for prop k and that's $1.1 million into planning projects over the next 5 years >> i want to thank supervisor avalos and tilly for this equitable way of looking at the districts needs but i think this helps us and our residents that the ta is looking at the specific needs of our districts so thank you. >> chimney in as well. i do really appreciate staff moving on this idea and something i brought forward as a need in district 11 we have real sluggish way
