>> 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 and they really have a spirit of innovation and we're going to tickle this and that's the spirit of walk first and like to see the list sort head in the right direction. ms. reynolds can you ask questions >> it's the end of my prediction. >> thank you for the

presentation. i'm curious whether those 24 projects are deliciously between two years >> on the ground by january of 2016 the clock is ticking in february, you know, we did at the sixth and howard the fulton is going into the ground we're not waiting because the clock is ticking and the other thing i want to note there are more than 24 projects mr. there are 33 or 34 of them. the idea there's cushion there if small business something is not feasible or is happening to delay the project we want a deep

list >> are you talking about the temporary bib outs and the - >> i'm going the track links through the intersection for one. >> a couple of questions on some of the streets your proposing that don't have funding do you have a sense of what the funds will look like to make that happen. >> the raised on upper market is a wild card we're interested in working with dpw to have them help us just like for speed bumps i think that's a relatively small amount of money $50,000 to get the design started the term conditions on market street are a little bit different i think it's

$2.2 million to do that work but that's a project that's in the virtual phase. >> i think, you know, it doesn't have to be obviously in today's presentation to insure that the 24 projects are going to go through. and, of course, we don't want to see the project we're intending to put into place for visitation zero by speed up the projects in the cue and get other projects going and part of that is staffing and kind of figuring out how to coral all the departments and reduce the timeline and fund. so what's the gap and need will allow us to get the resources necessary to get those done. the next question rewarding the

design i think it will be helpful to walk us through why it takes 6 to 9 months >> that's for a major street project. and that's i'm not sure if there's anyone from dpw who wants to speak to that. a lot of times we partner with dpw on anything that touches drainage or a civil engineering design piece we looking at look to our partners in dpw they take the time to do survey work and work it into their cue of prongs. so we're gathering for the sf committee is sort of r a post more and more tomb on 7 or 8 projects to give you an idea of what happens for instance, when another project becomes a

provided and jump projects in the cue. we may have regular projects we're working through and the mta directions the priorities and there's a group that needs to have that conversation and we may decide nor whatever reason a project needs to happen faster it will leap frog the projects in the cue. so there's a lot of complexity in the design there are several teams at dpw along with our traffic routine folks and the designers at a certain point they become a technical consultant that's a process like second and polk we're doing thing for the fritter it can take longer than there's a lot of back and forth but i'll note

we want to take a deeper dive into the next meeting we'll talk about project examples what happened and when did it go to a real project and how long will it take the money to get here and when did we actually start work all of those pieces and the decisions that happen along the way those are tremendously complicated projects. i understand there are designs difference between polk street and what you talked about on sixth and howard it will be helpful in not only describing the process but give us suggestions on how to make that process what - i mean, i don't

know what the process is like how we can push all the departments to work quicker is it you need more staff or the processes can work at the same time what can we do to improve the process so when funding are not the issue those projects are able to get on the ground >> i think one example you've all familiar every project has an environmental phase and a lot of times the detail design will not start until it's been legislated so the design and the survey work and we're doing that on some projects and trying it out before the environmental is done you're taking a risk, you know, not something that governmental agencies do well

but to higd but i think that, you know, we need - we are looking at and need to continue to find different project design models. for a long time a lot of the work was done in house and the amount of funding and the amount of work could potentially break that model we need to bring on contractor and relying on those other kinds of project delivery models to grow faster and get the resources on board to deliver the projects faster >> thank you. that's how i'd like the subcommittee to help. one is the oversight but how to

change the project delivery model are there more efficient ways the funding should be part of the conversation it's a culture shift we're prioritizing human lives and involves funding we need to put our money where our mouths are at we've got to be able to fund those. i hope we can continue it dialog in the room. supervisor wiener >> thank you, ms. reynolds thank you for the update i know you were here at the beginning. do you think things are getting better with the enter departmental messness and some departments sometimes showing you over hostility towards the projects is that changing are we

seeing it still is it having combats it's my prospective but you're in it everyday >> my prospective is we have the right people at the table talking now, it's difference than eight or nine months ago. with the fire department in particular the lines of communication are open now more open and, you know, we've had a couple of recent examples inform bring curb extension to our board the fire marshall had concerns but i think there are but that's not obviously the way we prefer to do that. i think that things are tlaug out a little bit but we still have a long way to go to get our

designs what they should look like. the puc we've had tremendous opportunities for looking at the city for green extra and water projects. we've taermd with them on the community design process that's been positive the two agencies still have some disagreement when it comes to who's responsible for paying for some of the improvements and the constituents of the street underneath. so that's a conversation that still needs to kind of progress. but we have projects that we're collaborating and participating and co- designing the masonic is a great example not that the departments are working together

but we need those resolves. first of all, i was pleased >> i was pleased when the mta directors finally when the mta has the authority to legislate the curb and some little the mta wanted to achieve consensus but the fire department was not going to back down. >> ultimately the agency that's responsible for making sure that our streets are safe you guys took that action and leg last day those curbs changes i was pleased to see that. with respect to the puc i'll give you my view the puc has taken the position if a bulb out

is being built over water pipes it's the mta responsibility to pay to move those water pipes so they're not under the bulb out is a significant expense on the mta and frankly it's not necessary to move the water pipes it's for the future theoretical convenience of the puc if in 20 years they need to reach the pipe they don't want to dig underneath the sidewalk but underneath the streets that are a significant burden that the project sponsors from doing those bulb outs for a savings for the puc when frankly when you're doing a bulb out they can look at the pipes and see if it's old and switch it out and did do it. many cost shouldn't be passed

on. i don't know if this is the future of a future hearing in terms of enforcement i know i held a hearing last year about double parking enforcement and -- excuse-me. i should say the total lack of parking enforcement not only a sf pd issue they are the aggressive tools it is necessary sometimes a delivery truck has no way to pull over but we all see that everyday. the delivery trucks that clearly they have a place to pull over and don't both it's laziness it's easier to park in the middle of the street and cabs that pickup and drop off they can pull over but stop in the

middle of the street and people who park their cars in the middle of the street to run errands it's a problem it blocks muni and but in particular people verify bike lanes as an open in violation to use it as a parking stall so bikes are forced into traffic. i've not seen any change we see double parking still if you can address that i hope we can address that >> i'll say a couple of things i think we should bring it back new york has made double parking part of their zero vision parking they've put out

information and new york and d.c. are leading in this area in terms of managing deliveries and managing the need for a double parking they have some fantastically strategies but we needed operational strategies for how to incentivize delivers in the right way and i think we can bring those for a future meeting that's fantastic. >> new york also limits the size of the delivery trucks that enter the city i think we should do that. some of the delivery trucks are so large if their double parking their literally blocking the entire lane of traffic and sometime the other lanes i think

we should consider size restrictions on delivery trucks in san francisco >> thank you. i think those are important points and that came up in the commuter shuttle particularly in neighborhoods that the streets are narrow mta through it's policies can regularly many of the large vehicles on your streets. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you supervisor wiener for your comment about parking. it's about enforcement and educating people it's not a matter of just i'm going to save a few seconds but endangering people. early chair kim you had discussion around the projects and i think in regards to look

at those 24 projects or 33 depends upon which number you want to use but we need to document each of the steps for each projects and the timeline it takes for each step and document when there is some stalling because of whatever reasons we indicate what it is. if you look at one project at that time, it's hard to get a partner of what to fix but once we see in this particular element of the project seems to be also the bottom part we need to do an analysis so that's my comment as you go for those projects you document every step

>> thank you, commissioner supervisor mar. >> some kind of flow chart to understand the barriers to each project would be helpful and maybe the transportation authority staff could help with that we're not only looking at the barriers that maybe slowing down a project but for those who are not fund by ideas from the transportation authority from mta and other strategies how to get all the priorities funded. i'll ask if there are serious accidents on other streets not within the prioritized projects what's the process they're worried their 4 to 5 years old

but what's our recommendations on other dangerous corridors >> one clarifying question are you interested in seeing what we think the bottom x will be for those or you're interested in the patterns of bottle in the case on project. >> i think for supervisor yee for those 24 projects i think that's what you're suggesting. >> sure. >> and perhaps the mta could help with that that's a enter departmental issue. >> i think it will be good to do a little bit of back casting here are 10 similar projects that are already in the ground $0.83 let's look at the parents it will be hard to predict where the bottle necks can e be supervisor wiener said it's

hatred hard to predict where at that they'll come from but i can bring back the timelines. i think we can share with you so we can be tracking them each time we could be those kinds of things. and then your other question was about the crashes that happen there's a certain randomness to travel fatalities that's where the culture shift is important we can focus our efforts but at the mta we have a safety engineer that's in the traffic operation group - and almost exactly a month ago was a serious wtdz a 5 year-old and babysitter at
