san francisco or san francisco state university or target as a company probably will be supportive if there's more of an expanse with places to use it but are you looking at institutions that will benefit from having bike share stations placed near them >> certainly there's a cough of different ways to approach it one the new york city model it's kind of the title sponsor takes everyone or everything but new york city is the on the type of sponsor the other type of sponsor there is a bio level station supports it appeals to many companies and institutions things like that and they underwrite the cost of bringing a station cross to them that

works within the overall, you know, system but there's also presenting sponsors that can co- exist with the sponsors and that could happen, you know, presenting sponsors. and we've had one sponsor for one part not for others like boston they sponsored and there's new balance not just for balance. and then in we learned that seattle i believe has signed alaska airlines as a sponsor they're not a winner take all sponsor not like the first 5 hundred bikes there's a lot of options about the level of interest with the sponsor. any other questions >> supervisor yee.

>> yeah. a quick question. i've been curious about bike stations. is there ever a time when, you know, who too many bikes coming to one place and not enough space and parking >> absolutely. >> the bike share we contract with the a company al at that they're the biking contractor and we gave them a purchase order they deployed it and have 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 thousand fund for the prop k. all of those requests are intended to approve the street safety from planning to construction. the first project as a matter of

fact, is requesting over 980 thousand to design the pedestrian signals as well as the larger overlayed and larger are arms for availability at different intersection and you can find the more detailed breakdown between the locations of the company treatments on page 4 of the enclosure. mta acceptance to complete the design by july of next year and construction to be concluded by 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 thousand prop k opportunity the design of 8 locations and 4 of them on lake street has been constructed with prop b bond and mta anticipates beginning the construction in june of this

year and completing by september of this year that's a taller than and they're requesting 80 thousand for the landscaping in interests in the eastern neighborhood improvement study for the 7th and 8th street are or north of the freeway with high traffic volume and speeds. the current features as proposed include removing the traffic lane and this planning effort refinances the oppositions and the streets improvements on howard and folsom. mta will start the planning will complete the planning by march of next year and with that,

joining from mta is here to answer any questions >> i see no questions and thank you for being here all the time too. let me open this up for public comment oh, we have several cards as well. i have gilbert, asia those are the two cards >> hi i'm a central city democratic's i oppose any more funding for the mta this 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
