unprecedented number of accidents fatality and serious injures about one hundred a year has been the average we want to curtail that and seriously do something about that we've joined together the supervisors along with our office and the sfmta police department and others to suggest that we can end it we have to that r that goal of vision zero in 200240 to make sure we're serious today is another effort here anothers e.r. by a street has been a tragic we hoped not to have happened but also in you ride along the sunset boulevard you can feel that some individuals that are not going to pay attention will view and use this as a freeway it's not a freeway a major pedestrian and traffic

thoroughfare that must be right handed for all the modes of transportation and consider people kwhor walking and riding as well as the speedometer so today, we're here on the establishment of a traffic signal but we know that no traffic signal in and of itself nor stop sign will ever create the level of safety we all want to have happy. so it is to be complimented by other things we do including the reduction of speed here on the sunset boulevard that's been at 35 mile-per-hour historically and is now we are reducing it to thirty mile-per-hour and at the same time, we have two additional streets where is it will be merry rag and marion by the end of next year. those combined with the

reduction of speed here but with a constant education from not only our supervisors and sfmta our walk sf first and police department but also the entire city has to pay attention to this whether it's a street if district 6, in selma or downtown in the tenderloin or in the sunset we're committed to get this done and make sure that everyone that used our street particularly those who are walking their dogs and families are feeling safe in the street we have to educate everyone who goes and utilizes the author fair and sunset boulevard to cyclone not only because there are multiple schools ever other block but people using it more and more and as we invite people to live in san francisco to

increase our population we must take care of streets like this this is not the only street or boulevard we have plans that include a major transportation bond to november i'll ask you all to peengs to that bond because it requires 2/3rd's vote it will not raise our takes but consistent with the general obligation bonds we've passed with the leadership of all our supervisors we've passed bonds for libraries and parks for other institutions including the latest one this past june where we increased our general obligation bonds to cover earthquake preparedness and emergency responses with all our sfrootz infrastructures this is the first time transportation infrastructure bond that has taken into consideration this in city since 1966 its important

it's important investment in the crippled programs that improve mini and 3 hundred of the $500 million is visited towards safety programs focused on our streets whether it's concession or improvements in the way that mini or streets that are able to be designed and handled or the operations of maintaining the speed that leaders have to have in order to get their 2 hundred and 80 thousand commuters we've experienced a saving of an hour with the mini in the programs but an important part i want to emphasize i know that supervisor tang is focused on this along with many of the frifrz is is that vision zero must be accomplished and a part of the 5 hundred you million dollars bond we're not stopping at the traffic signal or the two others

we'll have in place we want to expensive approach that was worked on very seriously by groups like walk sf and the bicycle coalition along with the police departments and having the input in a $500.01 day that again will not raise our property takes it will be implemented and that's in a responsible way it carries forward real visions that were reflected in the 2030 task force we put together that we worked very hard to make sure we had the funds we will not use the fund as a reason why we can't get things done safer in the city and moor our streets and road are safe thank you to the

county transportation authority and sfmta for being part of this along with the community advocacy groups that i encourage more and more to be vocational who else is going to do help educate the public if we don't have the community-based and working closely with our sfmta and mta commission working closely with our police department in every accident making sure we study this carefully and make sure we teacher of the aspects and making sure everyone is safe in the city this nominate is more than a traffic signal but an expression we want to be competitive in our approach for a higher level even if safety vision zero for the city interest thank you for joining us and being here soon, we'll take the switch i signing the bond for the $500 million of obligation bonds we want to have

before the voters in november of this year thank you very much (clapping) >> thank you mr. mayor and our leadership in supporting the bond and vision zero and the water work of making our streets safer. one of the things the mire said is sunset boulevard colloquy wasn't we're doing here is not the end but emblematic of what we need to do people treat it like a freeway it's not a freeway but one of the 6 percent of city streets responsible for 60 percent of the fatality in our city. what we're doing here is a step it's adding up to more than $3 million investment we made along sunset boulevard to make it safe as the mayor said we've been working with the police department and the department of

public health to really understand where and judge our collisions happening in order to address the other 6 percent responsible for the 60 percent of fatality collisions and bring the improvements out to the city sewe need the investments in order to do so we're lucky to have as representative of the people felt sunset district as a member of the county of the transportation authority and a member of the board of supervisors someone that understands the importance of making the investments focused on transportation and pedestrian safety and works on the board and the blue print for the district and emerged for the board of supervisors to get this 5 hundred general obligation

measure into the ballot so, please join me in welcoming district 4 supervisor tang >> thank you a special recognition to the mta and to tilly changing and accident police department and w
