city wide effort. >> good morning, john knox white from mta. i think there is a number of ways to answer that question. the current safe streets san francisco program that launched at the beginning of this month involves city and regional wide educational outreach about driving safely around cross walks. and marked. we are doing outreach to ensure that drivers are aware. even if there is not a painted cross walk on the street, that they are cross walks. and when people are in those cross walks marked or unmarked, that they have the right-of-way. much of the education is city wide and region we focused. and we are working with sfpd

that is doing focused corridor enforcement for the next three months starting next week. and targeting those with pedestrian right-of-way. and we have money in the recently passed budget to allow us to continue the educational and marketing efforts through next spring. as we await for the funding next year, that program will expand from four to 10 corridors. but again have a city-wide focus. and i think we -- i don't remember the exact, sorry it's been a while since we wrote the grant. but the enforcement piece in that, the work that begins next fiscal year will be city wide. it won't be focusing on a few specific streets. there is specific focused streets that we do additional

enhanced enforcement. but city wide enforcement on streets west and east, etc. >> i am wondering if we can get more specific, maybe not today, but in terms of which corridors that we are talking about. it's city wide but you are going to target specific corridors? >> sure, for the current program we are working on geary, mission, sixth street and kearney. and they were identified as the top-four high injury corridors where the collisions happening were related to driver violations and pedestrians right-of-ways. >> and you mentioned six new ones. >> i don't remember if we identified the six corridors there, but i believe that we have a list of those corridors and i could send you that this afternoon. >> that would be helpful. as you know in particular last

year, there were at least district 7 had disproportionate number of fatalities compared -- wasn't worse but certainly up there in terms of percentage of fatalities for a district, it was high. i want to be sure that we pay some attention to the west side. >> absolutely, and we were very careful when we wrote the grant, not to write ourselves in a box to only do enhanced enforcement on specific corridors, but to have a list of injuries and fatalities but to have the ability with this program that goes on for a few year. to address speeding throughout the city. and on corridors that may pop up as hot spots while the program is running. speeding is a problem on most streets in san francisco and the

region. unfortunately, we will only reach the goals that we want to reach, and not specific corridors to speed. but any street they may get caught. >> thank you, and by the way, i have not mentioned this and nobody mentioned this. almost two years ago when i came into office, one of the first things i asked mta was can we cut the speed on monterey boulevard, it's basically residential coming off of a freeway. at the time it seemed not possible, but i guess we were consistent enough and thank you mta to work with cal-tran and whatever, but we were able to, it was not a miracle, but certainly it was nice, wow, we actually got it down to a reasonable speed of 25. and that was making, it was put in a month ago. and just having those signs that

say 25 made a big difference. because it was 30 before, but when i drive 30, almost every car would pass me. now at 25 miles per hour, i am driving 25, very few cars are actually passing me. i noticed a difference, i am sure when you do a study, i think it will prove me correct in terms of my observations. it's another example of what we can do to make it safe for the streets. and reducing the speed, the type of injuries you get will be different. thank you very much. >> i wasn't involved but make sure that the people that were. >> any public comments on this item? >> i am bob plantle. i have some good news, some bad news, and some suggestions based on what california walks learned

last week. the bad news regarding the safety of schoolchildren. the governor vetoed assembly bill 1153, that would have doubled the fine of speeding through school zones. here in city departments lowered the speed limit, that is helpful. the governor said it was regressive to double the fines. so the suggestion i am going to make is, since both the t.a. and the city have lobbyists. they didn't seem to communicate quickly, timely and thoroughly to the city and t.a. and maybe from those agencies to advocacy groups. if we could have known of these meetings we could have generated comments from the state and the city. those lobbyists are paid, and we don't know what their instructions are.

but i suggest a better communication channel throw and have staff work with the senate and assembly to find out what is coming up. the good news is that last week the california traffic control devices committee recommended that guidance be the approach to lowering the walking speed [bell] now recommended 2.8 feet per second walking speed. previously it was an option, and option only where seniors were present. it was very remote. so i suggest also when t.a. gets a money request or mta puts in a stop light they see that it's 2.8 feet per second walking speed that is now used. thank you. >> any other public comment -- come on up.

>> good afternoon, commissioners. i wanted to highlight john knox white's work and his data driven approach to this campaign. and really collaborative approach. if you haven't seen the signs already, they are effective and have taken the saur -- surveys from the public and direct that behavior and making sure that people know that they have to yield to pedestrians whether or not there is a cross walk. i wanted to say thank you to mta and all others. >> no other public comment, public comment is closed. item 6. >> introduction of new items. >> seeing none, commissioner breed. >> thank you, i want to make a

quick comment. i want to apologize to the public for our loss of a quorum. and i know that many of you have busy lives as well. i am appreciative of supervisor tang for stepping in. so we can continue this meeting. we do take this work very seriously. and i want to be sure that you know that your time is valued. and we appreciate the feedback and appreciate you hanging in there with us to see us through this process. so thank you. >> okay, i guess no introduction of new items, any public comments on this? seeing none, public comment is now closed. meeting adjourned. >> item 7. >> wait. >> item 7. public comment. >> oh, any public comments on general comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed. now the meeting is adjourned.
