8:10 pm
transportation here in san francisco. happy to see you all here we're going to need everybody's help here today. where i will start we're lucky san francisco is a great city and one of the most walkable city if not in the world it attracts people here. it's a great city to walk around and be in. however, we we have a problem and the problem is people are getting killed in our streets and that shouldn't be happening pr it's unacceptable people are getting killed my seriously injured it's traefblg not only for the families especially for the families to whom it happens but for our whole city but the good news is it's preventable
8:11 pm
every one of those dedicates and serious injuries is preventable. the good news behind that is that we have great leadership in the city as manifested by the strong and power showing of folks behind me that are focused and committed and dedicated to preventing those serious collisions and fatality collisions so we get the benefits of our beautiful walkable city without worrying about getting hurt or killed. at the top of that primer is our chief collective who has brought people together to solve problems. i think what we're going to talk about today is the epitomize any so it's my enclosure to welcome to the mike mayor ed lee.
8:12 pm
(clapping.) >> thank you, ed for that introduction. of course, i prefer being outside somebody said it might rain but i'd love to be drenched by rain it's good for our city i want to thank you all the board of supervisors who have been with the pedestrian safety strategic with me. not only myself and personal resident and residential leaders of different community each supervisor a has given me the personal accounts of the dangerous intersection of the people who were lost of severely injured it's personal. i want to say today rather than having years where all of us in office are saying we're sorry for something to happen we'll
8:13 pm
rather be saying thank you for you for yielding and not running the red lights and thank you for not speeding. that's also going to be better than saying i'm sorry. this is what groups have taught us advocates in they're right and well deserving they have a loud voice not city but we should have loud easier and hearing about more being thankful. it begins with what was yourness you've heard about the awareness program that muni and other agencies are proechlt through attorneys whether it's radio or television or 3ri7bd materials on our buses we'll get them on the taxi spaces to get people to make sure that they know they
8:14 pm
can make themselves safer and drivers need to be safer and everybody on the road safer. the awareness champion can't work on its own. a good part of that and i'm always tafl to our police department is an increase of 12 percent i want to thank. them i know there's other valuable time by they okay. this is important preventing deaths and injuries. i will say to you this i've asked the police department awhile i do an awareness champion that says be nice and look twice i'm asking my officers not to be so nice enforcement is about the discipline in people's behavior they're not going to be nice
8:15 pm
when they see persons not yielding when red lights are run, and when speeding occurs puc. i'm asking our police officers not to be nice because that enforcement should have effects on people's behavior. supervisor avalos and supervisor chiu and all the intrifrz we don't want to say we're sorry. last year was the highest number of faltsdz in our city and traffic collisions we need to do more about it. so we're unveiling that and reminding everyone that traffic enforcement will be there throughout the city and we have evidence to back it up. the pedestrian strategic group
8:16 pm
that's he represented behind me buts by everyone and advocacy groups have taken a look at at the data that's improved more and more and built upon straevenlz of other cities and we've come up with a provided list of areas in of the city that represents the 6 percent of the street grids they end up being the sites where the fatalities happen and we need to focus on those right now and right away. even though we have $50 million embedded in the bond that we plan to present to the voters in november the transportation infrastructure bond we have come
8:17 pm
up with an immediate $17 million to promote the walk first program in san francisco. it's literally taking the highest percentage of intersections and streets and kindergartners and putting some designs of safety idea in plays play. for example, i'll give you a few examples that represents across the city of the locations. sutter street throughout sutter street signal timing changes and continental contractions and on folsom street and improved at the city clerk's office ton and striping changes on silver across the town and many trrnz claiming gary and palm and 6th
8:18 pm
and 16th and moo sonic and specifically by request i wasn't the first one to think of this we're going to put the 13 at the yorba and that speeding is unacceptable awhile we're waiting for the 13 i've specifically asked our chief and he's responded with a specifics officer to catch people so we're going to make the city safer. this is our mandate we're tired of saying we're sorry. we're putting money serious money behind this are i know the group as identified over
8:19 pm
$275 million of work and this 50 million we're identifying in november against that the 17 million we're identified by various sources i want to thank you. the to the agencies for getting the first 17 million started ahead in the touchy areas of the city. it's more than just about commitment. we stood here months before and said we care about the city's safer whether it's awareness or a higher level of enforcement or putting things into the streets that make sure from the physical standpoint a better and more efficient and safer areas for people to walk and ride and continue promoting the city as
8:20 pm
the most walkable city anywhere no, the country we can't do that unless we support that very fine goal of being the most walkable city. so i say to you today, we're acting on this today and i appreciate the people's efforts it's not enough it's not fast enough people are going to say but the thing i want to say the people who drive in the city slow down. you've got to slow down all the construction trucks with a great indication of our economic recovery have got to slow down. all the people that >> emergency vehicles have to be sure what they're doing is the safety and most efficient
8:21 pm
way to provide that service we need to slow down and promote people looking both ways before they cross the street taking that supra precaution for themselves and their families. we're going to be doing that through education and enforcement and good solid investment we're given around historic comments. i think this the comprehensive and we're going to keep the safe groups working with us and the advocate so we'll respond efficiently. i thank our police and fire and all departments. for the departments that are implementing these things whether the public works or other puc or dbi all the other
8:22 pm
agencies working together we'll honor all their efforts when we get the changes and i'll see these improvements being done this year. our police department is looking at other ways to use technology but those ideas will come forth as we get the appropriate funding to make the technology work for us boarder in deeper ways. thank you very much (clapping.) thank you, mr. mayor. and thanks for your leadership your office leadership of the atomic force the development of the strategy for which walk first, the initiative we wouldn't be able to do it without the leadership from the mayor's office it takes all the community and folks to make this

8:24 pm
supervisors is united and want to thank supervisor yee and supervisor jane kim and other in this groundbreaking. in my first term you are participated in a number of agencies standing behind me. i think is it fair to say we're frustrated at the fact it was difficult to get on the same payment and hold ourselves account. its easy to say we support pedestrian safety but it's hard to focus and sometimes, it takes a crisis and we've had 21 dedicates 3 incident a day. those victims are our mothers and fathers our daughters and sons and brothers and sisters this is unacceptable. this is why we have to come together to create a real opportunity let me say this if
8:25 pm
