vance they'll circulate to make sure there's an optimal direction of the bicycles to you don't incur an empty station or full station. >> i think you've found one station that didn't have any bikes i had to wait 5 or 10 minutes during the america's cup race people were getting to the waterfront. but for me to get to meetings and my hope as we expand that we're looking at areas of entity as bryan larkin from the cac raised not only places where we think there will be a lot of bicyclists but other areas that need to market and promote more bicycling as well >> yeah. as we expand too few bikes in stations we that that

will work best but as we get bigger groups we'll have a lot more freedom. >> i want to thank michael schwartz and the whole team for the strategic analysis report and it's really, really helpful. i'm hoping we expand bike sharing for transportation purposes as well. any other questions is there any public comment i think i have one card bryant and anyone else that wants to speak please come forward >> first i want to say good morning and thank you for having this meeting i'm thankful to the city i was there for the opening

of the polk street it was a great example of things that happen. i'm here to a represent cork wide bike rentals. thank you to the ct a for working with us with the bike sharing expansion and parkway appreciates it. park would like park ride wants to request two small language changes into the document and i'll hand you a copy of the changes. on page 9 bullet one should strike the station side planning and receptionist that with the prior tiger's travel to and from the straight transit and next on page the number 3 bullet two

should add sfmta should in front of the sentence develop a business model it shows how the expansion can reach the sustainability through the private sponsoring of the revenue and the combination of all the sources. the requested changes are written here for your information >> it's mr. granting. >> pardon me i wrote i'm not a doctor sometimes my writing isn't good. >> let me take a quick look. is there any further public comment >> mr. bryant did you give a copy to amber with the transportation authority. >> (inaudible).

>> so we'll pass it on to amber. >> next speaker >> hello commissioners. i was hearing sponsoring and pilot programs. and clipper cards. so with those 3 issues insurance would be a great way to pilot with the clipper card. to help bicyclists with insurance. because i'm sure you're aware of we have a lot of different accidents with pedestrians and bicyclists and audibles. i love riding a bicycle but if we're going going to sponsor have insurance companies have types of information on the

bicycles or the key that support the bicyclists with insurance >> are there any members of the public who wish to speak seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, we have this action item before us on the strategic analysis report i believe mr. swaerts and ms. crab are looking at is language ms. crab recommendations >> yeah. we'll work with the speaker on the language and bring a revised version to the board. >> and there's not a hurry to adapt this today but bring the restoration to the board and are you recommending us to continue this item until - >> i think supervisor campos i'll suggest i'll make a motion to accept this and approve the

report move forward this with a positive recommendation to the full board understanding the time it maybe some amendments along the lines. >> i think that's a great motion and i think that bike sharing is different from bicycle rebels i appreciate park wide and the expansion throughout the city but bike sharing is about people in neighborhoods or people that really use the bikes in san francisco for businesses for residential and other types of use. i think that bike rentals are more of a tourist focus that many of the people's that come into town i think the city needs both i'm appreciative that we have so much bike sharing and

rentals and the toufrts that don't know the area that's an issue of providing some information they need to make a rational choice >> are there any other comments colleagues. can we have a roll call >> sxhood. supervisor campos. supervisor kim absent. supervisor mar. supervisor yee. that items approved >> next temazepam 9. >> allocation of prop c. k funds and prop double funds subject to the tax fiscal year and the amended part of our programs this is an action item. >> the sfmta is requesting the funding for a little bit over 8

the following year 2016. the current proposed ground changes will not necessitate the construction of the roadways. the next project that sfmta is requesting 21 thousand in improvements why the mission go district and the specific spending is upgrading the walking and maps and developing the conceptual be designs and finding the designs to be acceptable. and the exciting part is mta wants to implement the low cost treatments as part of the implementation effort. mta will begin the planning by october of this year and expects

to complete by the february 2015 and the early implementation projects by june of this year this will position the discretionary rents for the full implementation. on next the traffic survey project the matt is requesting money for bicyclist and norm in favor of riding to major changes from pedestrian safety and mta anticipates to start the surveys for the bicycle projects from july that's been updated to start as early as july and the prop k funds to cover the surveys wore one and a half years. the next mta is requesting 54

committee should freeze the money until citizens can ride mta for free until they have a plan for people with disabilities. the mta board has left the citizens and disabled in limbo tell them to wait until after the november election why should we wait while the mta has a budget surplus of $22 million. citizens and people with disabilities need to ride muni for free today. we have a crisis in the city a transportation crisis a housing crisis and an affordability crisis the mayor has a pr disaster on his hand when we gave away free parking. i urge you to say no and don't pass this out of committee

>> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, again commissioners. i would ask you to vote no or wait to vote because spending spending spending is good to spend we all love to spend but i just think for your going to do stuff especially the bicycle racks the bicyclist and all that stuff we have to do it at one time that should be done together with the pedestrians and automobiles and everything i happen to be part of a neighborhood survey and i was wanting to focus also on bicyclists and the harm it does to the pedestrians when they did

bicyclists don't stop with the crosswalk they keep on riding through. i was told it's the automobile that the - no, no the bicyclists that need to be focused on. but the thing is if we're going to spend money spend it wisely and the right way. thanks >> thank you are there any members of the public who wish to speak seeing none, public comment is closed. i wanted to thank the staff ms. kim for the presentation and the slides. and say those 5 projects are critical for our city especially save routes to school making franklin and the other boulevards safe and say that the speed and volume surveys will be helpful in their analysis and for the pedestrians refugee island i know first-hand that they need the small improvement

to make it safer and the neighborhood groups have been advocating for small improvements that will make a difference as well the other areas that will be helped and lastly the 7th and 8th streetscape are critical in the eastern neighborhoods as well. any other comments >> supervisor campos. >> thank you to the members of the public that have spoken i appreciate what's been said and i share the fact that the mta has not moved with the free public transit for low and middle-income citizens many including supervisor yee will work hard to push this forward with the affordability crisis.

that said those promotions are critical and in my district district 9 looking at the prop k requests to approve the safety around caesar chavez school that's an important issue for the families that go to school there i don't want to delay that because of inaction by an agency i'll be supporting those stermz i think that the safety of the city requires that we move quickly not to not push hard for the transportation for our citizens >> thank you supervisor campos seeing none, other comments. >> supervisor breed absent. supervisor campos. supervisor kim. supervisor mar. supervisor yee. this item passes >> thank you. please call the next item

about 12 years. i have volunteered with different animal [speaker not understood] organizations in san francisco as well as the east bay and northern california. [speaker not understood] arc, animal center and when i lived in southern california, i volunteered at the san diego zoo and wild animal park. i currently have two pets in san francisco and animals have always been a concern that they get proper care and treatment in that they just are protected. and, so, i'm interested in this so i can give back and help do that in san francisco. >> any questions? supervisor tang. >> sure. so, thank you. i heard that you still [speaker

not understood] broadly about your interest and why you want to serve on this commission. but can you speak orctiontion you know, are there any specifics you'd like to work on if you are appointed to this commission? ~ speak on any kind of issues you see currently, what we could do better in the city? >> i used to be a police officer in a different city and saw a lot of animal abuse that went on, animal cruelty. some animals were abused so bad that they had to be put down because of the abuse. it was just horrific what people could do to animals. and if i can help in any way to get knowledge out there to the community, let people know if they are unable to take care of their animals, what is the main thing to do with the animals. whether it's evictions or just

like issues that they're no longer able to take care of the animals. i have a cat that's 22 years old. like when i was a police officer, [speaker not understood] chopped off her foot and fortunately she's been a wonderful cat. and i want people to know that there are options. there are [speaker not understood] if you take on an animal, you need to know that it's a privilege and what you need to do to, to take care of those animals because they're dependent on us. and i just want to make sure that in san francisco that we're enforcing laws and giving people knowledge to know how to take care of them in the city boundaries. there are adoptions for [speaker not understood] discounted veterinarian care.

and if they do see a injured animal what to do or if there is a ferel cat what to do because some of the ferel cats do have [speaker not understood] in san francisco. so, just getting more knowledge out to the community i think is lacking. it could be helped. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you. nanci haines, are you here? james yorck or is this nanci haines? >> so, my name is nanci haines and i am interested in a seat on this committee of animal control and welfare. a little bit about me. i am a native californian.

i have -- i grew up in the bay area and i've lived in the bay area most of my life. so, i have experienced a number of different cultures within the san francisco bay area. i currently reside in the mission district and i do have a dog and a cat. i'm also one of the founders of a new organization called ride a ranch rescue and it's a not for profit organization that's being set up to care for special needs animals. and at present it's new and it's a virtual organization where we're just now trying to raise funds and draw attention to special cases. our goal is to have a northern california location in a few years, provide a safe haven forespecial needs animal. as a part of the ranch we hope to also establish a veterinary internship program where veterinary students can care for the incoming animal.

there's longer term plans for that, kind of fun, bed and breakfast, where you could adopt the animal for a night. so, anyways, i'm also active -- an active volunteer in a number of animal organizations, one being the underground kitty railway which is a really cool program where cats can be taken from kill shelters anywhere in the state and then they are basically shipped or taken to the forever home possibly in some other state. and also we use that to reconnect veterans with their pets or find homes for vet pets while they're away and then they're reconnected with them when they come back. i do volunteer at the san francisco spca and you can definitely see my face every christmas at a macy's windows trying to find homes for dogs and cats. so, i think hopefully this shows you that i he
