is excited and she has been close to getting hit several times and happy that her friends are getting tickets >> supervisor mar. i want to acknowledge the progress we've made at the beginning of the year after sophie's killing on polk and alice on new years eve and i wanted to ask the committee to look at mayors work in new york city and other major cities facing similar issues. we've moved from the look twice and be nice and looking at to beef up our commitments and as supervisor wiener mentioned the education part is critical have been nice and look twice but has to be the jerry and the

enforcement part we fund and look at it with the data that the public health department has come up with. my hope is looking at mayor debasis work in new york we can look at anothers cities as well >> thank you, commissioners at this point, i'm going to open this up for public comment. anyone want to speak seeing none, public comment is closed. move on to item 3 >> vision zero overview this is an informational item. >> we have megan from the san francisco public health department to give an overview which is also the pedestrian safety task force co-chaired by her and tim i didn't.

>> thank you very much for having us and thank you for the opportunity for achieving the goal of zero vision by 2024. the safety task force is expanded and our meetings are now quarterly as the zero task force and i'm going to share a little bit about the overview and the team is structuring it's activity to complete that goal and future items for your consideration for the committee. and i'm going to turn it over to for more discussions regarding engineering. back to the root of vision zero it started in sweden it is the highest priority for our transportation system the racks we've heard we want to design a

transportation system forgiveness our humanness and so there's not death we're really doing comprehensively at the various project like education and enforcement to help to create a system in san francisco that fundamentally protects life. we are also keenly attuned to protecting our most vulnerable road users and community. this map includes a lot of information including the high pedestrian corridors that is 6 percent of our streets and fatalities as well as the bicyclists high corridors which similarly identify 4 percent of our injuries our. those corridors overlap there

are particular places their cyclists and pedestrians are injured. in conducting that analysis we see a higher progression of high injuries in community with low income population and non-english speaking population and distribute of color so where our most vulnerable folks live this is what the data points to safe lives >> i think the slide is small could you just go through the key the purple being - and the purple is where cyclists high injury corridors intersect with the pedestrian safety corridors this year, the blue is just pedestrian. >> right thank you.

>> also with respect to get this slides on the left is the transportation mode that on the city and on the right 2013 breakdown of fatality so we can see fatalities with the pedestrians and cyclists merry christmas 20 percent of trips and the deaths on the street. this slide gives an overview thought we have the city staff from the multiply departments that touch on traffic safety shared by dpw and representatives from dwp and planning, the police department i'm sure i'm forgetting other agencies we'll providing provide a comprehensive list. our steering committee is broke

down into engineering and enforcement and evaluation and data. our premises is the same as the opening remarks we said we can't achieve operation vision zero we know based on the evidence that education is important to partner education with enforcement. so in order for it to be, true effective we need education and enforcement to work hand to hand and that it's regularly enforced. to the last of the top orange box through the support of the transportation authority vision zero we're going to work specifically with communicating both workplace and to the public regarding what our goals are and what the city is doing to

achieve vision zero it's a key strategy for the success. in addition to the committee we have working groups those working groups are addressing the more emerging issues that we haven't collectively grappled with and feed into the actions the subcommittee. currently, we have a bicycle working group and a city vision that be looking at the barriers and also we're talking about the vital near term action but what are the larger policy issues to approve vision zero one example the status of automated

transportation. we're also going to harness the existing partnering to be a vision for the one body it enacts and implicit acting as a united city for the actions. we have the customer input to the subcommittees and importantly at the top we have the steering committee reported to the sfmta board to this committee and also to our city vision task force. now i'm going to briefly into into the subcommittees and their leadership. we have our education subcommittee lead by the sfmta and john max white and the key partners from the public health

department. and then at the last key activities in support of vision zero include delivering a campaign and the active corresponding grant we have a engineering subcommittee lead by the mr. reynolds that's collaborating with our data subcommittee to identify before and after nodes for data analysis and tracking the capital. enforcement subcommittee is being keeping you informed co- led by the a gentleman from the police department and from a gentleman from the sfmta it includes implementing the da's position for vehicular mandatory manslaughter and we'll be

working to continue to provide data analysis to have targeted efforts and supporting the monitoring and implementation of the monitoring initiatives. our working groups are dp works t l i want to be sensitive to the tops i mentioned the leads they're going to be providing information to the sub activities. before getting in the nightly gritting we all acknowledge what the opening remarks are this the kltd shift we're going to need to address larger policy issues and barriers within the structure and really changing businesses not accepting death and injuries of how our system operates but every fatality

seriously evaluating what happened. again critically analyzing our priorities with respect to the bottle necks and offensive state and local actions to achieve our goals. to do this we're do not on our policy passersby to reinforce those priorities to help us address the fund needs we're going to identify to achieve those goals and we need our stockholders and communities to inform and again provide accountability and help to support the vision zero. today, we're going to be talking about engineering and this is including the city vision including the product delivery and as well as the legislation

update at the state level and other items for cyclist safety and evaluation data and funding. thank you >> thank you. i know that today enforcement is not on our agenda but i thought i'd ask the question on the slide on enforcement committee sfmta has taken on their focus on the top 5 enforcement issues that we know cause pedestrian safety and their goals in terms of ticketing, etc. we've been seeing the results of the data i'm curious i'm not sure if the best person to answer this is but i'm curious what the sfmta role is around improvement and

their goals. >> i'm happy to speak - with respect to the co- leadership of this combe subcommittee we've talked about marty the commander ali overseeing the implementation and the enter agency cooperation with respect to making sure that the commander lee is out in the field and overseeing the efforts to coordinate the efforts. >> i think it's important to sfmta to use its own resources to enforce the pedestrian safety. whether walking the bike lanes that impact the safety of our

cyclists or to help to support really the limited resources that sfmta has >> yes. that's another avenue we're exploring we're working with our improvement group within the sfmta to look at how our pcos can aid the sf pd but we're looking at the policy opportunities and then as well as a lot of our grants are multi facets so that role as far as the sfmta and sf pd to make sure we're including the enforcement within the grant. >> it will be good to have the

sfmta what they provided whether the number of enforcement tickets where it's going to focus it's goals and whether or not they're going to be part of the resources we - i think as a matter of fact, should be able to allocate those resources we've talked about how the pcos can be a role but we should know what the goal is specifically. supervisor mar >> yeah. i wanted to appreciate that question and the response from the sfmta but to thank commander ali i know that when we collecting check into captain sylvia man they're taking a serious effort in our richmond district to address vision zero

commitment but is that happening citywide i'll wait for the data from the police. >> thank you. so seeing no other condominiums from colleagues i'm open this up for public comment. two minutes. thank you >> hi madeline founder thought possible. i'd like to suggest that a lot of the projects in the pipeline really have the potential to incorporate so many of the efforts among them my project has been the polk street initiative. i think it's imperfect we understand that the professionals who design the

streetscape and the street safety are the last word we've seen the best stinsz are being derailed by people who claim to know what's best for the street but not have locals to assign to our raiser and we have no striping and this and that and we can't let that happen on our streets. a short while ago i was the victim of a driver who was being a human being and negligent but it happened in the lack of infrastructure that was not up to the task of protecting all of us on the road. we really, really, really have to look ahead at the projects in the works not just for 2024.

thank you. thank you >> good afternoon. i'm nicole i'd like to encourage had this committee and/or the vision task force consider to create a vision zero plan similar to what new york city did that is comprehensive and can house all the vision zero strategies we're talking to hold us accountable and think how to achieve vision zero because megan said this is a real shift in the way we're thinking and if we're talking about the zero traffic fatalities we can't simply put together a list off what we've been doing but think progressively this is an

exciting time to do that i want to see the city put together a plan to do that. >> thank you seeing no other public comment it's closed on this item. item 4. i'm so sorry did you want to - >> so we'll reopen public comment on this item. >> i'm lenore goldman i'm with the tenderloin health partnership. it's san francisco health improvement partnerships for the neighborhood pilot project we've been meeting with stakeholders and resident for over six months. we've targeted safety as the primary focus to enable other health improvements to occur. and it's evident that without,

however, much we invest and put support into other height improvements when every single block virtually in the tenderloin shows up as red and black every street and corner we really urge you to consider putting a high priority on a number of the street corners. injury and death is so high on every corner no matter how much effort we put on school passages to get children to school or to doctors appointments we're hoping the initial priorities will target the tenderloin and the expansion efforts will also

do so. thank you for your recognition of the issue >> thank you. seeing no future comments public comment is closed. we will be holding public comment for each item it's easiest if you stand so you know you want to speak call item 4 >> please introduce yourself name and title. 24 near term projects this is an informational item >> we have the liveable manager from sfmta to present on this project outlined by supervisor wiener there were 3 main components enforcement, education and engineering. one was to ask for 24 pilot projects focused on our

corridors to help cut down on the number of injuries on redesign so mr. reynolds will be presenting on the proposals by that sfmta >> good afternoon. thank you for allowing me here. the engineering subcommittee of the steering committee will be the place where we identify and track the implementation of those projects. and there are other things that the engineering subcommittee will be working on overlapping with the city visions on product delivery and trying to bring that afford it merits it's an hour of communication in the near future and i agree there are a lot of places to do things better and a lot of opportunity to talk about why a if 2 hundred thousand project and $2 million project might have similar lines

pardon with that, i want to say a few things about the 24 list first and foremost i hope and building we'll deliver more than 24 projects by january 2006 the walk calls for one hundred in the third year recognizing it takes awhile to step up and get resources together. you know the transit effectiveness project and the bicycle strategy and bottom work are underway at this moment and have their own hopes and dreams to implement 2, 3, 4 the near future so when putting together the 24 list that's a mix of arts and science and practicing tich meant to reflect projects that might need a nudge or a high profile to get them tlautd and

projects are a reach for us and a push for us and projects that recognize the work of the walk first and bike strategy and projects we've identified but maybe not have funding for in hand yet. we focused on projects we felt we could deliver by 2016 and on the higher injury bicyclists corridor and also projects that be visible the walk first s are inevitable to the public to pull back parker need not be apparent to someone who was standing on the corner crossing the street they know it's easier to see drivers. so we wanted to focus on locations we felt the improvement would be visible to the public and continue the

opportunity for communication there's a need for a public conversation. i'm going to walk through and give you at a glance maps of the citywide what the project maps look like and we'll dive down into more specific sort of focus on part the city. this first map you show us all projects and modes. the blue that is shown are projects that are specifically focused on improving safety for people walking. projects in gold are projects focused on save for a bicycling and green are co- benefits people walking and driving. i want to emphasize that road users are like o a food chance it's got ripple effects so the projects about public safety is

for everyone this is at that glance by mode we like to look at things. you'll see light pink in the tenderloin. this is a look at the sort of bicycle projects and by themselves on their own map the green ones are co- benefits and the gold are for people bicycling and the pedestrian projects on their own map as well. so we'll take a closer look this is meant to our city is hard to create a really erratically elegant zoom in ignore the rectangle at the top this outlines the projects shown on the map you'll see the name of project sundown and the mission silver and geneva and glendale a

thumbnail point and whether or not there's funding in hand. so many of the projects have funding a couple of them don't or partially funded this is where they are some are in planning and design and a couple are actually out into the construction phase. moving up gerey makes it hard to make a eloquent map but the projects shown on the map we've got no funding in hand for the top 4 but they're all included in the agency cpi so i building some of you saw the presentation and those projects are identified in the cpi they're not necessarily tied to the november ballot measures but

committed to delivering wrarls of what happens month identified the sales tax funding and other grant sources as well. at the bottom i see the listing with money in hand and actually fulton street and signal timing is being tweaked but out there striving trying to slow cars down to 13 miles per hour. this is a focus on downtown northeast quadrant of the city where the highest concentration of injury and sort of injuries to older adults in a particular. this the list of projects with money in hand and a couple of projects in their entirely phases on polk street we want to

once those are approved they get legislation and this can be from 9 to 12 months and the construction window can be just as long and had some of them have to go out to bid which can be another 6 months but once the project is going forward we can do things right away that will help with the early roll out under the description. and then let's see. this is the list of projects in that northeast quadrant where we don't have funding in hand and the last two projects those promotions are not actually in the cpi. so those are projects that we need to find many funding. a word about the racetrack we

have a lot of protected bike ways that are buffered with paint that would be raised into circle tracks to come up with a design and go through and retrofiti retrofiting hopefully those are things they're trying for the first time so finding the funding that my not apply with the caltrain code but that's where the sort of engineering projects need to go and really take a page from importantly book they have no bicyclist fatalities a
