>> thank you anyone else who wants to speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. i'd like to ask if on the central subway i know we are litigating here and on the north beach folks bryce is here can litigating talk about the scope. my understanding it's going to look at 3 possible alignments and it's purely an initial study i think to the gentleman that mentioned alternatives it will look at the 3 possible alignments but other ideas for alternatives as well >> good morning, chair mar and commissioners i'm litigating the interim so far the planning at the transportation authority. on the initial study it's just that an initial study to look at what's out there and under the ground and the gore logic

systems and the pattern that would shape the subway station. it's looking at a few divvied alignments if we look at the geographic and it looks like it wouldn't be a feasible option and at a high level it's doing some potential impacts for improvements and economic conditions that would be facilitated by this subway estimation and also looking at construction ability as i said before and the costs and funding options including the fundamental rating criteria which are back of the envelope stated would be fairly competitive and since this initial study feeds into the

sfmta relatively past study we will get this study done in short order. it seems like a lot of people money to spend but hopefully it this will get done in july so the capacity study will be studied in conjunction with many options we have people from the mta to comment here if i want them to >> supervisor campos. >> just a capture quick questions he in terms of the money who is going to do the work? who is - how are you planning to spend it. >> the study is led by sfmta we have the project manager and some of the work will be sent out to other agencies so some of the economic development work b

will be sent out to other departments we have traffic forecasting models and the ridership of this extension and doing the back of the envelope for the competitive rating will be done at the mta itself all 3 agencies will be reviewing each others work for the construction ability and for the economic condition analysis. >> so the hundred dollars 73 thousand how is it broke down. >> between the two agencies i don't know but there will be $50,000 for a consultant and $30,000 for the impounded to do the economic analysis and my apologizes i don't have the entire packet. >> how are you selecting compounds? due to the timing of the study and the small nature of the task orders we're going to use the

transportation authorities tool which have gone through the procurement process already >> another question in terms of if there are specific items or options that members of the contingent want the agencies to consider i mean is there a way for people to, you know, give you feedback over and over input on that? >> i'm happy to took something back eave met with several community groups since october. if anyone else wants to reach out call the project manage and i'll make his contact information available. i have the breakdown of the total costs by agencies if you want that so the sfmta would be for $40,000 and the sf ta is $18,000 and for the planning department would be $35,000 and

$85,000 that would be given to the sfmta but then given to consultant that will be managed by the sfmta and the planning department >> okay. thank you. >> and i wanted to emphasize i think it's great that vial groups can give inputs to paul the project you said he's the project manager forbid the sfmta. >> that's correct. >> but thank you so much four responding. >> i want to reiterate this is taking a look at under the hood and all the analysis of this project meets all the other options that could be on the table for rail bused will be studied in the real capacity study. >> if there are no questions i don't think it's necessary for ms. bringing son to respond to

the issue it's coming up later so colleagues we've heard public comment can we have a motion by supervisor kim. >> i'm sorry we're still on item 4 so my question is on the bike lane allocation. there's a definition in the packet, however, this only comes up because we had the fatality on king street last year. i notice that's our first bicyclist fatality and a lot of the discussion is around where the fact she was struck by the truck. i can't remember the intersection very well i thought it happened further down on king street i was clarifying it will this extend down to the point where this incident occurred?

i don't know if there's a visible >> there's a visible of the project location and it's in the enclosure which is the prop k enclosure for item 4. it's on since you guys are looking online it's on page 73 of the enclosure it's on page 11 of telephone of the actual allocation requests i'll put it on the overheads as well so you can see the project location is quite willing mid block to the intersection at the third. its after the mid block crossing. >> okay. so this will extend a full bike lane from where the bike lane disappears in the middle of the street all the way

to third which doesn't extend to third street. >> not in this project. >> the description is mentioned are those there between second and third or past third street. >> this is replacing the shadows in this with striping and primarily stripping and is there a man plan to extend this further west. >> let me invite jennifer from the sfmta project. >> i'm happy to see this moving forward i know it's optional $37,000 but we want to make sure there's safety on this major corridor. >> so supervisor kim you're correct we are repairing sure rows so it's kind of a semi road diet we're repairing is sure

roses with the binding bike lane but past third i don't know the answer but we're looking at our bike strategy so i can get back to our office to see if that's part of our extension. >> i'd like to see this extended down to caltrain so its a high proprietor for us. i'm not sure if it's our high entry corridors but where we saw our first fatality last year >> thank to sfmta and chad from our transportation authority for his work. ms. chang >> chair and executive director tilly chang. >> regarding that it's the third street feasibility study i want to note if came up in our

county wide transportation update and last year community members raised a question about the project evaluation in our analyzed it has high benefits in terms of high ridership did harassing also has high costs business recognizing that requires more costs and the different sliechlt impacts that analysis was considered to make the next phase to again put that in context you'll see us look at the 19th avenue i think line as part of the geneva corridor study and the analysis that's being evaluated with the embarcadero sector and this is to put them on an even footing so the sfmta can look at them

comprehensively. it was looked at by community members by supervisor chiu's support >> thank you to tilly changing reminding us of the work that's been done. so supervisor kim and i'm sorry this is a comment not a question this is on the second street plan again happy to supporting this through prop k it's increased for pedestrian lighting and i want to push for the underground cost maybe i'm getting the calculations wrong but i want to have a conversation about your improvement plan. that's a comment >> and i wanted to thank the

staff. so ms. chang we've stopped our comments and now we should take another roll call. is there a motion. it's been moved by supervisor london breed and kim supervisor london breed supervisor kim. supervisor mar. supervisor yee. this item passes >> thank you. now ms. chang please call item 67 and recommending an appointment of one member to the advisory committee. we have comments from chester functioning and supervisor yee as well. chester fong

>> wrong item. >> for our regular citizens advisory committee. we have the background they have a advisory member and they serve different terms for the recommendations and the boards points out the members. neither staff nor the committee make recommendations on the appointments and you can see a list of folks for applicants i applications and in attachment won a lincoln's with information regarding our current members to qualify you may not be a san francisco resident to speak to our interests and qualifications. we have two vacancies on the committee requiring our action, however, we recommended you only consider one appointment.

this vacancy is from the term inspirations of robert from 7 and the recent expiration of mr. flanagan. >> i see no questions. supervisor yee >> so several people have impressed interest for being appoint and the people r that have stepped forward are all good candidates but the person that i felt is basically stood above them i will be supporting is john larson. and was really great to have met him and had a discussion with him because during that discussion it what i saw was the

sincerity and his commitment to the issues. so i appreciate is if the rest of the committee would also support him >> thank you supervisor yee. any candidates for this district 78 position if anyone wants to make a statement please come forward and we'll open this up for public comment. >> good morning, chair mar and members. i'm john larson i'm asking to be considered for the vacancy on the transportation authority. i'm a 17 year resident of the west portal neighborhood i've used all transportation and different types of transit to

get to my job buena vista and driving and, yes even walking. in fact, pedestrian safety is one of the reasons i'm interested in serving. specifically to implore the rate of pedestrian death and injuries that are acute on the districts 7 corridors and many interested in the transit study which is the study to look at efficiency issues an 19th avenue and lake merced village. i have 20 years working in nonprofit i kurt currently work at the courts the state organization that oversees court administration i've worked in advisory groups which is charged with courts related changes to

the vehicle code i pose a law degree and analyzing legislation and developing recommendations as well budget oversight. i will like to contribute to this because i believe that a public centered process results in long-term results for policymakers and the people they serve speaker if selected i will work hard to make sure that the district 7 the largest area are recommended and heard. thank you for your attention >> thank you, mr. larson. next speaker >> i'm glen rogers i am a landscape architect i was also on the advisory competent. as a landscaper architect i have unique qualifications for this post.

i was in doing the study i was the first time person to make the sfmta and sf ct a aware of the fact there was a senior streetcar they omitted in their traffic study. i too am interested in the 19th avenue transit study. i believe this project is in error in many ways. and this is very likely the reason i was not considered as a member. first, we think that the particular design they've proposed that will cause traffic jams for many years in the future is said to be for two to three years the construction will be taking place but the bay bridge was 5 years over it's time limit and we say expect this to be of the same caliber.

the other issue when this project is started all the service with the young streetcar will no longer be available to the residents and in my opinion there has been a plan presented by aaron goodman that's a better plan than presented by sfmta and i hope you'll be able to see that later >> thank you so much mr. rogers. next speaker >> sorry commissioners but i also am seeking that appointment by no longer in that district but not seen mr. larson in any meetings. my concern with the planning commission and some of the boards and panels we have some people being appointed and

become a rubber stamp but i haven't seen mr. larson's plans the concern is that when you have public interests at stake on the citizen's advisory council you should have someone on the panel that represents the largest you community out there and district. i think that's key as well as having other neighborhood or at least people involved in transit that are dealing with the issue when it comes down to you have a lot of neighborhoods i would recommend someone like george who would speak up for the entire population first and foremost so before i appoint sympt someone i would look at the views and i don't know mr.

larson's vision i've never seen a recommendation as to the 19th traffic study >> mr. goodman what district do you live in. >> district leveling. >> any other comments? >> district 8 i want to show any support to supervisor yee and his appointment i think he knows. >> wait a minute gilbert so no other examines for the seat so public comment is open please continue. >> yes. i wanted to support supervisor yee's appointment of mr. larson and i thought his presentation was outstanding. i worry about the central subway hateers would stop and will the the central subway sgo go

through. thank you >> thank you. anyone else on the public who worries about to speak seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor yee has impressed his support for mr. larson. any other comments. is there a motion sovm by supervisor campos and so colleagues, can we take those without objection >> roll call supervisor breed. supervisor campos. supervisor kim. supervisor mar. supervisor yee. john larson has been recommended as the appointment person >> item 7 recommended appointment of one member to the gary corridor citizen's advisory council committee.

>> and here comes chester fong. good morning, chair mar and councilmembers. principle planner this is an appointment to the gary rapid bulls transit the gary brt project is the liberate we have a dedicated citizen's advisory council that meets bio monthly the structure is shown in the memo we have neighborhood seats as well as at large seats one vacancy is for the chinatown fillmore seat we've received 5 applications and those applications are in your packet. we've kourjd the applicant to be

here today. we understand that some have advised but their unable to make it here today. i'll conclude my comments and if the candidates that are here could speak we're seeking one candidate and so candidates if you would like to make a statement please come forward. thank you, mr. fong it looks like no one is going to present. i'd like to ask if supervisor breed wants to make comments >> i'm recommending arthur he reached out to our office and we have had a chance to reach out but unfortunately, he can't because of his work schedule he can't make it t it but has made a commitment to make the meeting

for the gary brt because those meetings are in the evening he takes the gary on a daily basis and lives in the fillmore based on his daily ridership and his understanding of the transportations be issues and his resume he would be a good fit for the seat. i'd like to moved with this recommendation >> thank you colleagues, any other comments. >> second. >> its been moved and seconded. so we open for public let's open this up for public comment anyone from the public who would like to speak seeing none, public comment is closed. so colleagues we've had a motion and a second >> supervisor breed. supervisor campos. supervisor kim. supervisor mar.

supervisor yee. austin inspires has been recommended to appointment to the cac. >> congratulation. >> item 8 recommendations of the final report this is an action item. >> we have listing here. >> good morning liz i'm a senior transportation analyzed and i've been serving as the director we have computer technical itself. i'm happy to bring the draft report. i want to start by recognizing that is an exciting partnership with all partners led by the post partnering with the sfmta and the san francisco planning department. we've also with the funding support into from caltrain's for

a grant as well contributions of funding from the 3 major west side landowners the gallery and san francisco state all over the and park merced. i want to recognize people in the audience from park merced and from sf state and jonestown they will make brief remarks. i was going to speak for 10 minutes >> okay. >> so the study area we're looking at the study is ocean avenue runs in the middle. this work builds on past land use efforts including the park merced plan that calls for a increase in the population at

the site about 56 net housing units increase as well as the campus master plan from 20 to 25 thousand. in the context of that work there was a corridor study for the transportation recognizing the need for broadly looking at the transportation issues that led to the idea of what are known as pier 5 and transportation improvements which the m line integration was one of them. the purpose was to look at taking the m over to the west side of the street so that the crossing would be straight. the image here shows what that looks like as far as the density of the land where it becomes visible. i'll talk about the existing

needs not corridor. several big ones related to transportation the first one is about the speed and reliability traveling 9 and a half miles per hour conflicts with the vehicles. a second oh, that looks better the second need is the access to transit we are we have a high ridership stop at the university and johnstown and all the folks boarding there if the station happened to be the highest ridership you have thousands of students crossing the highway 6 percent of the facility accidents occur here. so building on a version of

american people you got to the park merced agreement taking them over to the west side of the street. the idea here was to look at it building upon that side park merced plan as it stands solves the access plan but not the speed and reliability. so i'll quickly walk you through the steps we started by establishing goals for the work the big focus was on speed and reliability of transit improving the access and the safety of non-motorized vehicles in the corridor. during the first stage of work we developed several different ways to get over in the northern part of the corridor and the same with the south. we shared that durin
