>> thank you. we really appreciate that. >> thank you. >> seeing no further comments from committee members, thank you director reiskin for presenting. i would like to ask for public comment. if you would like to speak, please step up. >> good to see you. >> good afternoon, everyone. i just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to convene around vision zero again and highlight the progress that's been made. it's really encouraging. one thing i especially like to highlight is what director reiskin was referring to around the coordination piece. some of the departments came together

around complete streets process a few weeks ago and are working towards developing ain'ter agency early implementation checklist so not just within dpw or mta, but across different agencies they can come together and look at the projects that are planned and make sure those are coordinated. this is something that came out of the pedestrian strategy that was released last year and in the strategy there is a goal to implement those checklist in six different city areas by the end of the month. i would like to highlight the process that's been done and what the committee has done to keep track of projects and we just came from a planning commission meeting of that adoption. the planning solution was that the planning department would help shape

that complete street checklist. i want to thank the city departments for their encouraging work going forward. thank you. >> thank you, ms. schneider. any other public comment. if you would like to speak, please lineup. >> tyler frisby, from the bicycle coalition. i want to thank you for your focus on vision zero and want to flag supervisor wieners comments and funding on this project. we appreciate the support of the commissioners in working ways to back fill the vlf funding. as mr. reiskin pointed out they were counted on for the budget. this is critical in the new funding environment. thank you to all of you for your work. >> thank you. seeing no other

public comment on this item, public comment is now closed. again, thank you to everyone. i also want to reiterate or concur with ms. schneider's comments. the inter agency department working is incredibly pornd and i know director reiskin talked about this as well. we have noticed an incredible effort at that coordination and departments that are working well together and even working more closely. they are on livable streets and mta have done so much to improve that communication. i see that director cheng wanted to make comments on that. >> thank you for making the presentation today on behalf of the city staff and agencies who are all working on this topic. project delivery has been not only a focus of the last two 2 years but really the last several years we've

seen the city step up and start delivering much more consistently and working with one another and working with your office and see what is working and not only the areas that director reiskin mentioned. we are working along the areas around ceqa reforms and changes that are happening at the state level which really san francisco through our planning department and various agencies led the way with how we can look at ceqa to protect the environment and also align with what we are trying to do with statewide mandates with compliment change and around transportation policy. this is also started to have an impact with the cal trans reform process whereas looking accrue is the nation where the

standards and director reiskin was president of the national association of cities and transportation officials. we are really pleased that that trend has started to influence cal trans and those design standards really help our work and it's starting to ring true to our streets and on lombardy and highway 1 and 19th avenue on the west side. finally on funding, i want to highlight the transportation authority and all the other agencies which we fund the transportation improvements are coordinating better and better. we have a round of prop k five 5-year program which hopefully will reflect that type of coordination to provide that consistent funding at the neighborhood level and every neighborhood can engage at the planning

level as well as the capital projects that we bring through prop k involved with the city funds so all the agencies are providing their expertise and funding and through checklist with tools that nicole schneider was mentioning to have better results. >> thank you director cheng. commissioner mar? >> i know the newly elected mayor of paris had an announcement that the city of paris is looking at reducing speed limits to about 20 miles per hour, 30 kilometers per hour except for the major boulevard, some of the major blvd areas. i know several years ago i met with ritchie patia who was suggesting

major changes like that. i know there needs to be a lot of dialogue. i'm wondering if the evaluation and monitoring committee that you are working on are looking at efforts like that. we are looking at fulton along the richmond district where several recent incidents of really really really young children hit and severely injured. i know that fulton is a 35 miles per hour zone with a small exception of 25 miles per hour around senior center. but i'm just wondering if you are looking at some suggestions of reducing the speed limit in key areas where we have high collision corridors? >> it's a great question. we have another working group called the city vision working group. essentially what will it take to achieve vision 0 oechlt -- zeer oechlt we are looking at an international

receive in terms of best practices and looking at the best practices that are still an opportunity for us to implement in san francisco and bringing a reduction to that on the streets. >> i would like to be involved and i will make sure that peter from my staff is in touch with you. it's wonderful to say paris and hidlalgo. that is a specific committee within your broader task force. >> we've had a lot of interest and we would welcome yours as well. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner mafrment i didn't know that. i'm glad that paris had led the way. i'm seeing no more comment and discussion on this item. i will close item no. 4. madam clerk please call item no. 5. >> tim 5, near term capital

projects information only. >> we have seleta reynolds to present on the scope for budget and near end term capital projects. >> thank you commissioners. i'm going to run through this rather quickly. so at the last meeting commissioner mar questioned we bring back an idea of the actual schedules for all of the 40 projects that we have currently that we are aiming to implement by january of 2016. so this is maybe one of the most boring power points ever, but it does job at getting the information across. this is just to give you an initial glance at the projects and kind of where they are currently lining up in terms of when we would actually see them live on the streets. many of them are in their construction phases. some of them you can see are multi-faced projects,

policies, the project from 11-4 and bring it closer in. similarly the portrero avenue street escapes will deliver most improvements and finish the job later on in 2016. i draw your attention to no. 9, the blvd speed reduction. that includes turning ton signal at sunset and boulevard and toning down the speed. one of my favorite sayings is that you can't put up a sign to change the design. this is a chance for us to sort of see how it works to lower the speed limit there. the next

slide projects 11-20, you can see these are -- the main take away from this presentation is just that we are anticipating that projects are going to be rolling out and being delivered on a constant basis over the next year 1/2. one of the criteria for us choosing the projects to be on this list is projects that are visible that we can go out and talk about and continue the momentum and conversation around vision zero. i think it will be great that we'll have many opportunities to do that over the coming months and hoping to collaborate with your offices and the communities in which these projects live in order to come together and continue the conversations about vision zero. i would also draw your attention to project no. 40. commissioner kim, you had a question about the 4th and

king start. it is scheduled to be completed some time in the summer fall. it's under way. and we'll get back to you with a contact for that project. but really this is the beginning of fine tuning all of the scope schedules and sort of project descriptions. but i wanted to bring back a first cut to give you a sense of the relative duration and the finish lines for each of the projects on the list. with that i'm happy to take questions. >> commissioner mar? >> i just wanted to thank you for this. it shows how much you are juggling with the schedules and it's great that many of them are going to be completed by the year-end of

2014-2015. thank you. >> the graph was actually really helpful and the visual is really nice and kind of show casing what's been done and what we are expecting to see. my questions are really more for you in terms of some of the questions we had on these projects. on the pedestrian improvements being completed, is this the pilot bulb outs that we've done. is that what we are referring to? >> and then we came back and made all the crosswalk visibility and helped with some striping through intersection itself. that was putting a bow on it. i know that they have that project team has planned to go out and sort of do the next round of those kinds of improvements along six and also bring back some evaluation about what we've already done and has it worked and not worked and

finding planters around those kinds of things. even though occasionally we would like to give ourselves a gold start in terms of it's complete, as has been pointed out that we like to constantly go back and evaluate and fine tune a project even after we call them done. >> no. i appreciate the work. i think something was done with the signalization too, the left turn from signal handout -- to hourdz. -- howard. i know on 6 and howard the left hand going to six and where people feel intimidated by cars and where they are more likely to get hit. continuing the work on that

is great. the golden gate no. 4, is this part of the tenderloin little say gone project or is it a specific project? >> it's a specific project for that corridor. initially we thought we might do some signal retiming, but after being out there on walk to workday, i think we all got excited and interested in the potential to actually do a road dyed on that project and if we can iron that whole thing out and calm it down would make a big difference. that's that project. so that's why it's sort of a, this is a newer idea and we were committed to delivering it and we want to continue to nail down that schedule as we get the funds and p.m. assigned. it will be a great project.

>> we were really excited when director reiskin publically committed to walk to workday and this is from our vision zero budget and it's a really important corridor and certainly feeds into sixth street and the freeway. it's a very important corridor for us to focus on. thank you for that commitment. seeing no other questions or comments from board members, at this time i would open for public comment. thank you so much, ms. reynolds. >> thank you. >> i'm bob plant hold from walks. i have questions about money and timing. since there is not a vlf on this year's ballot it's going to be two 1/2 years before possible

money flows. before this passes. we have this project in your timeline in your powerpoint. i want to ask you to think of asking soon for staff to come up with some estimates on how these projects will be affected. yes, the mayor may come up with some money and you may come up with money. realistically the money projected is not going to be there for two 1/2 years. consider asking how will these projects be affected. is it stretched out in timeline, put on hold. i think it's relevant for the public, for you policy makers, for staff to have that rather than just guess and hope we'll find some here and there and throw some money in. that's not a good planning process. at this point i'm going to say please ask for an analysis of how the change in

funding expectations will affect these 40 projects. thank you. >> thank you mr. plant hold. any other public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. at this time this brings us to item no. 6. introduction of new items. are there any new items? seeing no new items, actually i got a request from commissioner wiener if we can actually take a motion to rescind the vote for item no. 2, approval of minutes. we can take that vote altogether. actually commissioner mar just stepped out. would that mean his vote wouldn't be? >> right. if you rescind the vote you would have to redo it. i'm not sure actually.

well, at this time we'll open up for public comment. is there any general public comment? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. we'll take a moment to see if we can take a revote on that. it's okay. okay. all right. seeing no other items. meeting is adjourned.

rolph stared into the crowds of those who have gathered. a moment in history. the birth of a publicly own transit system. san francisco municipal railway. muni as it would become to be known. happy birthday, muni, here is to the next 100 years. the birth of muni had been a long-time coming. over the years the city was disjointed privately owned companies. horses and steam and electric-powered vehicles. creating a hodgepodge of transit options. none of them particularly satisfying to city residents. the city transit system like the

city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake. the transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth, ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway.

would become a reality three years later. on december 28, 1912, mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth,

muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928, the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer san francisco's hills. after the war most of the street-car lines would be replaced with motor or trolley bus service. in 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. and it appeared that san francisco's iconic cable cars had seen their final days. entered mrs. cluskin, the leader

to save the cable cars. arguing that the cable cars were a symbol of the city, and she entered a charter placed on the november ballot. it passed overwhelmly. the california street cable railway was purchased by the city in 1952. there were cut backs on the cable car system and in 1957 only three lines would remain. the three lines that exist today. in 1964 the cable car's future as part of california's transit system was sealed when it was proclaimed a national historic landmark. in february, 1980, muni metro

were officially inaugurated. in that same year, muni received its first fleet of buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. in 1982 when the cable car had a shut-down, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. the festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent f-line that would extend all the way to fisherman's wharf, by 2000 the f-line was in place. and in 2007 muni extended the third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. for the first time in 60 years.

in the course of last 100 years, muni's diverse workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city. muni's ground-breaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. the city's policy mandates the course for the future, as they work diligently to increase options and increase multialternatives, and deduce -- reduce the carbon footprint. it continues to improve the systems. during this sen -- centennial year we reflect on the transit system. driven not
