scientist and we know they're going to do something to us and it's terrifying. you go to a doctor who's cut off your fingers and toes and he says come to the hospital tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock i'm going to tell you what we're going to do 5 minutes before you go into the anesthesia remember a single cut won't kill you but eventually you die under the circumstances without them telling you what they're going to do they should tell you specifically what is being planned before the eir draft is certified and i suggest that you

deny it and tell them to go back and do it right. thank you. >> next speaker. >> commissioners joe. we're here because again backing up what owen said i live in the strict sea contrary to what the speaker representing, you know, muni has stated deborah the outreach has been worse than awful and it was like a gentleman said it will put a draft up the body of a dead man in his casket and that's what it's done it's impacting our neighborhood we just tloefrd this a week ago we didn't know that the public comment was

closed as last accepted. we had triages of folks that couldn't be here. and another one worked from 10 to 1:00 a.m. they can't take a break when they have to go to the boomer they have to close the doors themselves. the eir has been shocking you should have recirculated the comments and do the comments after it's certified and it's like the whole process from beginning to end is a slam dunks thank you, ma'am. now what mainstreams me they're taking a transit policy hates one element of the master plan it's not the muni that's

predominant element and not consulting with the people out there. their sending staff out to the neighborhoods that don't know the process themselves and they apologize so us their was an error and, you know, in this process just saying we're going to increase the traffic on cal did care and increase the traffic and block it up ma glafrt street is not the same we're here to oppose is we will organ our neighborhood as we've begun to do and i'm back to the organizing and i'm going to start a petition we'll 0 go to the ballot and we'll opts muni to give them any more fund and

bay it's moving in on our turf here it's taking over neighborhood control on how much parking in the neighborhood they can't do the buses right >> while the next speaker comes up i'll call more names (calling names) i apologize. i, only read the last time. >> hello, i'm susan i'm a 20-year neighbor resident of ma gal stare street. lecture i saw a poster phone number on a poll in the neighborhood about a hearing and the issues specific to our area on makayla stare they're planning on moving the bus stops

and i'm very concerned because where they are now is such is a logical location the westbound by pulling ton stops before the road in a space that's 90 feet long that has a door and there's nothing along the side except a mural and they're to move that carols >> i'm sorry, i want to say we're taking public comment on the certification of the environmental impact report not the subject itself. >> this does effect the environment. >> can you speak to how the. >> so when we 0 move it across that will go in front of a cafe and trees and not a good place

to gather. and on the other side of the street the same thing they're to put that in front of the of a grocery so there's trees that will have to come down and impact the neighborhood in many ways the a.m. yans and we're concerned we didn't hear about it i'm appalled and i ride muni all the time but i feel this is more should have more chance to discuss it and make thank you >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. i run a coffee street a and restaurant on the makayla stare

i've been returning the business for the last 06r years and serve about 5 hundred people a day and all of a sudden the of weather is changing the bus stop from other corner to my corner. i have a permit to have a seat outside by the sidewalk and also getting a permit to plant multiple trees we've already planted. now if the bus stop comes there it will affect me and may customers that's 130r9d environmentally and now if this happens i might lose my customers and affect my business and also i don't like to see my

trees are dying that were planted. so i really am supporting the position that was made >> >> next speaker, please. >> again, i'd like to remind the public comment this should be the adequacy of the impact itself not the bus changes themselves and i will speak exactly to that but the portion i'm speaking about i'm sherry and my live in the alamo's square district where the gentleman has his business. i want to refer to something commissioner antonini said this morning why is it we're not interested in improving san francisco life for everyone and

having businesses that can thrive this environmental impact report needs to takes into account the impacts on the neighborhood and the quality of life. the damage to the businesses what this eir has done and what the mta does it appears i'm not really familiar until this issue came up they take genetic solutions oh, it will speed up the busses we'll move it to the other side of the corner and dismisses the impact to a specific neighborhood. how can our city policies do that and continue to care about and improve the quality of life? our businesses will severely be impacted and that's something that needs to be in the viable impact report. the changes to the 5 of the united states bus were not

outlined in this report and the woman that spoke about the report admitted it was a general item in the eir with specifics to come later. we were not invited of this change there was a poll notification none others and we happened to constitutional on it i attended a meeting a wagon and now it's resolute on this is ludicrous so i would explore you not to certificate this eir. thank you very much. >> thank you. any further public comment on the t p eir? okay seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini >> thank you for your comments. in regards to the document i'm

not sure the analysis is complete i'll bring out a few examples i have questions about but the other part is you can only analysis what our proposing. on some of my comments will awe lewd to the fact that maybe the things that are being proposed are not the best choices it's not before us but think the incomplete analyze some of the thanks the transit only lanes that exist they're making them more definite by making it impossible to driving in this will create more pollution it will take cars longer than to get through. i'm not sure this analysis has been finished such a i'm using

gary as an example there's you'll this traffic will be forced into one lane with the other lane dedicated for business. so it's a difficult situation we have a very small city and there's only so many streets and the only way to solve the pro-problem is create now right of ways either below or blow ground and leave the streets for bicycles and cars. the other thing i asked this enduring during a session we didn't include the possibility of smaller buses in other areas that aren't used but a lot of companies don't make buses small enough to be used but a lot of

times we have impacts from large buses with have you few riders where the ridership is small i'm not saying we don't need to service those areas but have is smaller buses. this is these are some of my feelings on the - i've heard comments on the lack of outreach i can't comment yet i don't know how accurate the information was to the neighborhoods but i realize this type of efficiency program make nor things efficient not only on new solutions like the central subway that will speed up transportation significantly and take transportation away from the streets it's one of the

factors that's clogging up the street. that being said i think that you have to have take a look at the choices being made and make sure the document accurately analyze the impacts. a lot of this will be considered by mta when the actual project is analyzed but your optional shot at the project is during this avail piece so if we have feelings we need to bring them up now so its appropriate to comment on what's being chosen to be done not at the expense of capital projects in the future but look at both sides of the issues it may speed up traffic but slow down everything else.

>> commissioner sugaya. >> yes to mta staff can you give us a short synopsis of the public outreach program that was associated with the t e p itself. not so much the eir because the eir has its own set process and public hearings and time period for comments and all it stuff but separate from that going back back >> i'll be happy i'm julie i'm the scheduling manage at sfmta i first started at mta leading the planning phase of the project which was characterized by it's outreach. we started out the process in 2006 and 7 by listening to our

customers and to residents and visitors of san francisco to try to understand how muni was working for them and how it could work better. we then annoyed the information with the unprecedented amount of data where people are getting off and on the bus and how crowded it was and where it was traveling and how slowly it was moving through our streets. we then developed draft proposals in february of 2008 we conducted over one hundred community meetings at the time some were big formal meetings and others being asked to present at community groups groups that folk were already coming out to. we then continued that outreach as we moved into the environmental phase of the work

we did extensive communityometers no 02012 and most recently we've been doing outreach leading up to the sfmta board considering all of this information including the environmental analysis as part of decisions on the service side we've done 14 public workshops 12 in the neighborhoods as well as having a public hearing in front of the mta board for example, the bus we've heard concerns on makayla stare we included the details about that proposal in the either as well as the outreach on it as well as posted all the official hearing notices that are required when the mta board considering that type of change >> i want to have the public

understand a little bit about the process that went into the t e p itself. i'm ready to make a motion to certificate of the either including the housetop that was given to us in its contents >> second. >> commissioner borden. i want to state the public realizes our environmental review this is not we're not talking about the project not a statement about whether or not the projects combined within the t e p are the world's best projects. we all agree based on the projects we typically certificate of the documents for its, you know, deep environmental impacts in the since of the geodbe there are

lifestyle and other impacts people are talking about but in terms of the actual environment it's different and it cuts both ways if it's not i do left leg on on one hand and on the other hand, theirs other issues that i want to be clear this is what this process don't and our role and jurisdiction i want to encourage people to go to the meeting tomorrow >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. another issue i've heard from a number of people is the e line prelims. i'm not sure if this is considered maybe staff could let me know i might have missed something in the document i didn't see too much of it about it if you want to make muni more

efficient you can implement that as quickly as possible because you have something that's shared by muni metro it can bring people from at&t park and to bring through through a non-used tunnel that will bring people to bring people from the marina from downtown and use that without minimizing the impact on the streets i'm throwing that auto as an example no report can do everything but i'm wondering why that wasn't included or if i'm missing something >> thank you deterring are a from the environmental planning the e line is included in the project if you look at table 8

there's a line it describes both the frequent as well and the appendixes there's information. >> i said it's been detailed for acquittal that's a whole different issue. >> i can't speak to that. >> it's taken quite a while to be done but that's different than the environmental analysis. >> commissioner moore. >> the document under the subject heading as a analysis of the existing conditions important the purpose of understanding the performance improvements not looking into the future. within it new project can or motive have to be analyzed separately because we were given those instructions to look at the document that i consider to

be thoroughly done in addition to the fact i find f it personally quite responsive if i were the comments in 2013 where people spoke about the draft either it doesn't address the topgraphy it didn't understand where seniors live and needs to go up and down a hill and eliminating stops it will be an impossible burden. the eir doesn't address sloan of the lines in hilltop debris are. i'm not understand it performance can only be measured during the peak you hours when there are young people going in the middle of the day and people

we have a large maim of populations that traffic in the middle of the day. i believe that the eir has done out of its way to provide that information not only in word and words can be stretched but it shows discriminates and thorough analyze in response to those questions. if i identified then i building all of those questions many of which i know as i whether they're right or wrong the eir has done out of the way to answer the questions. the instruction it's open to further refine time and neighborhood improvement as the specific projects came forward. those eir is not responsible to give us all the in and out of why a bus stop would be

appropriate on which side it has nothing to do with this commission in order to move the project on track and keep it going. i want to put boundary around what we're doing if you have more concerns about issues you have tomorrow to speak to that commission we're not part of this negotiate i want you to give us the ability to locate this piece of work a that that's been responsibly put together and take a vote to see if the commissioners approve or not approve what's in front of us >> well, i think that mta has been great but a question on the

process if this is approved it's approved by the commission tomorrow and the what's the and he would for prelims and clearly i don't think you're going out and implementing those you'll in the couple of months how does this work? >> hi, again. the completion is very much dedicated by resources. at tomorrow's meetings the mta board will have an opportunity to approve the majority of the revisions expect for proposals. there are concurrently as part of the 10 percent there in service this is not a mta baseline budget but they're

considering along with several other expenditure and revenue options. assuming that the 10 percent service increase will moved it will move forward forward in 3 pieces 3 percent this fall and 10 percent plus increase over the next fiscal years. the capital side there's a handful and those will be implemented over the next 12 to 18 months and would be part of overall work that's being planned. the benefits are that the neighborhood does not have to increase go construction twice

and economics of scale for taxing them with proposals already in place. the remaining project level travel time reduction is 40 miles of environment will be available when the funding it available we have the engineering and plus detail design on half the proposal with the potential of the go bond that the mayors transportation task force recommended would take the first set of projects that are shovel ready to begin construction as early as april of 2015 and the second set for the bond design. so the prongs will be implemented over the next 3 to 5

years. there is some funding uncertainty while it's recommended by the mar transportation department there is a hurdle for funding >> but you'll call out tomorrow or out to the mta commission what is ready. this is obviously a big eir for a lot of changes some are big like eliminating a line on makayla stare about the stop changes you've implemented them and businesses depending on where the stops are. does the eir get to that level of approving everything the small and board when the mta takes action tomorrow it's approving the budget outs and

such >> in the calendar i don't know we've prepared for them we've made the distinction we've given them the environmental documents they'll consider. the - >> okay. so that's - because it gets from the board to the small. obviously we've heard about jackson you've made changes but the small thing the makayla stare bus stop. there's a bus bulk so they'll be widening the sidewalk. into the parking lane so it would not conflict for example, with any trees. is a specific go proposal that the among other things board will be looking at to legislate

and we'll have a presentation for that. they'll also be looking at the overall environmental document and approving the other considerations >> okay. thanks. >> commissioner moore. >> it is not part of an eir review but i believe that in order to make the transit effectiveness project work we have to have public education and a complete reunderstanding of how all traffic needs work together by the way, i see already the trillion of bicycle only as a broad green strips and the red for transit only
