has fallen in disrepair and muni a can be closing slow along the busiest transportation system one of the environment i hear and all of us hear from our constituents that muni is unreliable and a great acceptance of frustration for people to get to work and school and to events. we have a long time to go for pedestrian safety. people who walk through our community and use our situations and cross the streets they have a right to feel safe that's a priority for us to the vision zero that's our new evidence push to eliminate all traffic deaths this is especially important as we continue to see the growth in our city. last year mayor ed lee convened a task force for the

transportation problems and recommended ways to resolve them and the transportation 2030 passage is an investment program that will help to fill the transportation goggling gap to fill the needs that san franciscans get the transportation they need and deserve in all parts of the city. the general bond proposition will address the needs it calls for the sale of bonds in the sale of $500 million to fund muni upgrades for more reliable operations. i believe this bond will be a turning point for transportations in san francisco. the bond will improve muni performances to the corridors that san franciscans rely on and it will at the most basic level

make muni faster and more reliable and those funds will improve the environment for people who walk and bike and improve safety ass at that time, intersection that will fund the pedestrian safety embarrassments like wider sidewalks and well-defined bike ways it's part of our city's 10 year capital plan that impacts pedestrian safety and improves the neighborhood and the geobond adds transportation into the strategic city. this investment will provide important benefits without costing our residents more like other bonds that have funded the libraries and fire stations this transportation bonds will not

increase property takes. the city has responsiblyly made that part of issuing the new bones as those are paid off and it insures regular spending as representatives of our want respective neighborhoods we serve and hear what our constituents want. many of us have heard they want a deniable transportation network to get around the city. to date we've received feedback why the from community groups and we're going to be continuing this outreach with open houses in every single districts throughout the year. take the opportunity to a acknowledge the haishgd staff that got the details of the bopped total went up the sfmta and the public works. i grew up riding muni it's so

disappointing when i hear today how residents are experiencing the same infraction frustration when muni was my main mold mode of transportation. up i believe this transportation obligation bond will help us to be on a world-class transportation system to serve generations to come. colleagues, i appreciate our support and looking forward to our upcoming debate >> thank you supervisor cowen and supervisor campos. i'm introducing a resolution that authorizes the san francisco defender's office to accept an extended grant in the amount of $235,000 for the purpose of implementing their legal advocacy program leap. and the leap program is

know, to clean the graffiti with the parking lot next to it and cars parked there and there's a - i mean, the wall has mural i've contacted gretchen and the office of supervisor campos. they couldn't do anything the problem still persists people walk up on the wall and do the graffiti they put up a whole bunch the graffiti is costs three or four hundreds dollars to clear it, it's fit that we put money in i hope someone helps us doing something about the wall spikes or something so they can't walk up and graffiti the wall. that's it

>> thank you ver >> thank you very much. next speaker. . >> hi this is the same problem about the graffiti. i just received this ticket say i need to pay this is i owe 6 grand avenue they've be happening all the time. i'm surprised every time we paint over this notice is from last year and i really don't have a memory for last year. you know, like it happened the same building we paint over last week and today, we go there and see the paint they do same thing going again but that's not fair for you. i think i believe when this time happened we already paint over

but they come to do next day or maybe next two days that's happened all the time. and this ticket i don't think i need to pay because it happens so often every time we paint over no more than 7 days they come to do it again. we hope city can help us do something. thank you >> thank you. next speaker. . >> hi i'm sue i'm a property owner in selma on harrison street i have the same issue as many property owners do we do our part clean the graffiti but the serial painters are coming

again and again and we paint it over you want to graffiti they climb a two-story roof to deface the property they come back again over and over so the department of public works they cleaned it well, i cleaned to too i got another one and i took a picture the property so which of those are right. every time we ask them to come out they're not artists their defacing property owner this is frustrating i don't mean to sound so vocational but it's been going on for years and i understand supervisor breed has created a legislation but the

criminal level they don't do jack stuff. we caught them in the middle of the night and the cops came they had to climb the roof the police took them to jail but it wasn't a $400 so it wasn't a felon. what's the level of punishment for the graffiti artists to come again and again. there apparently isn't anything i have two brothers that are cops they say you call 9-1-1 and arrest them - >> thank you very much thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm tang owner of property on mission

street. as all the people said we have got the notice from graffiti on may 15th we actually calendar up the property every single week not wait thirty days but on june 22nd they took another picture and i think i shouldn't have to pay for that that's it thank you >> thank you. next speaker. . my name is agnes i representing represent my family is here about the graffiti on the property owner. i feel graffiti is in a city is really the city effects our life everyday we worried about that our building get tagged everyday we clean it today they'll come

in the evening we come to the building we look at our all the surrounding our building to see if graffiti is there we have to send our walker to clean every few days but we still get ticket from the dpw department and contacted them many times to see if there's any way the city can help us but instead of dpw doesn't give us any answer and if we're utilizing late to pay the graffiti they'll send us an invoice ambassador i received an invoice for 35 hundreds and another one $900 and received two tickets they said to give us thirty days now they change it to two weeks they'll put it on

and dpw office they didn't know they sent indirect the next couple of days they sent us ticket so i hope the city can do something to help the property owners. thank you. thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi i'm a mark a business owner on howard street we get graffiti all the time i know the policies to have the property owner responsible for painting over the graffiti so i wanted to know if it decreases the graffiti they did research on how many nos it's like 21 hundred per month to property owners that's a high number for something that's supported to 0

decrease diversity. so if there's a diversity abatement fund to help me but maxillowe get nos after nos and no criminal punishment for the graffitiers my truck was congregated and i was called the next day by the da and said at the 2 o'clock to show the damage so i quickly took any truck and make sure it was over $400 and it was still charged as an misdemeanor and the charges were dropped >> next speaker >> i'm here today because i got the notice of the thoughts assessment and i applied for a

hardship. we pretty much have to paint over graffiti and on our side of the building it's private property for parking we can only get in the to six so it takes us longer we need more time because we need someone about going in and out on the weekend i'm not is this how do we follow-up if we're getting charged or not with the assessment is there any follow-up >> there's no follow-up. >> i a want to find out what the charge was at the end of this hearing i'm going to ask every member of the public who spoke to meet with the public staff hold on for two more speakers. >> okay. thank you. >> they smile and ride no our
