sometimes use the vehicles, and so, i would be really concerned about some level of congestion pricing on treasure island and i am not sure if i would be supportive of that effort. >> understood, and we are certainly in touch with the island residents, and one of the things that we are going to be doing is bringing forward a discount policy for the board to consider as we did previously when we looked at congestion pricing for downtown, and we thought that it was important to capture that issue and to bring forward the recommendations around how this could be handled but the discount and exemption policy. >> okay, and what about the job corp and just, there just... >> the folks out there and yes, we are in touch with the residents and we are in touch with the job corp and the villages and the folks that are out there representing the community and so we are well into the out reach phase and we could continue to out reach to them and plan to continue the out reach to them so that we are getting their needs and workers on the island today.

>> but are going to propose it. >> well, the city identified this as the policy framework for the island development, and to support the over all development goals of the island and, that is something that the city by city policy and it is in the development agreement that we should do some form of demand management to compliment and to help to pay for the transit that we need. >> and i guess that the concern is someone who used to live there, who used to work there, and it is very difficult to get a transportation on and off the island. >> true. >> and i just, feel a little bit uncomfortable, requiring some sort of congestion fees, related to any purpose for a place that does not have a i think a great transportation system and although better than it has been, and so you just have the bus system and there is a lot of tourists and other folks who i know go to the

island, but, it just, it is a difficult it has been that even when it was a navy base and even the students who come with me and the bus stopped at a certain time and i think that if you are going to do something like this, there has to be some sort of a public transportation system and that is sufficient to support it. because, i don't think that it is a good idea. >> otherwise. >> otherwise, yes, thank you. >> no, i do appreciate that and absolutely, the plan is and i should be clear to dramatically increase transit to the island. and that is dramatically, and 108 already is very crowd and we know that. >> from both sides, but to the east bay and... >> yes, the ac transit with the muni and the brand new ferry service and so the plan is to bring forward entirely new, and increase, in the transit service. >> well, until those things are completely done. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> so that is the idea to bring

them all forward together. >> i am sorry that i did not make that more clear. >> thank you. >> and so, back to the transit capacity and services i just mentioned and moving the brand new ferry, much more frequent, muni every 7 and a half and 12 minutes to the service to the transbay service center and, and of course, ac transit and we are buying the transit for them and the parking fee rates will be increased and we are trying to figure out what the best phasing is for this program. and again, in the performance measures are pretty much, sumed up by trying to achieve a less than 50 percent automobile share on the island. and encouraging the residents and employers and others to use the transit and the three scenarios that we evaluated are here on the screen and in your packet and the first one was taken from the original plan and it involved the total peak hour toll and the five dollar range for the weekdays oebl and we found that this one does not

pencil in terms of the financial performance and we identified two other options and that will be to price the periods for all congestived periods and all days of the week and keeping the toll around $5, and on and off the bridge and then, finally a third option was identified that would, allow for a veriable toll for the toll to go up and down, as congestion vary and to reduce the toll for the bay bridge toll payers who are already paying a $5 fee from the east bay. >> this is how it will look like, in terms of toll structure one and where the toll will go up and down with the peak period of travel at five dollars, and the toll and scenario two will allow for the tolling throughout the midday, where we are seeing and expecting in the future, especially more midday congestion and the toll free will vary with congestion level and float up and down as measured by our monitoring. and on a high level, this summary of the findings to date is that the program is effective and tolls during

these congested periods and do manage the demands and do shift the users over to the transit and the car pools, and the toll that varies here with congestion, does support the traveler choice and it allows us to pay for the muni and the transit and the enhanced ferry service and so that is the good news, and the analysis is needed on the question of the discount and the toll policy and the 50 percent mode share is not quite met and we do have a gap to get up to that 50 percent goal areas and then on the ferry service it does seem to be a cost driver and it does have access and how we will be able to utilize that ferry capacity. >> moving on, i just wanted to report how the demand shakes out and that as you can see from this slide, scenarios all across the board show that residential travel is the largest component of travel, but, the visitor and worker, community also do travel, and are important to capturing our

policy. and this slide here, on, and 16 shows that the peak period by the mode and you can see that the transit is moving in the right direction as we move along the scenarios. >> and car pooling as well and picking up more users as we go across the scenarios. and 50 percent of the market showing here. >> and there are two drivers of financial performance that we are remaining very focused on and one is the ferry service and because it is expensive as a cost driver and on the revenue side, we are looking at the toll. and the achieve the performance target and be sensitive to the communitis that will have to pay for that and to make sure that they are getting good value and we do need to analyze these further and this is a very complicated slide and i apologize that on the left of the scenarios, 1, 2, 3, are seeing the revenues and on the cost of the right, which results in the scenarios 2, 3, and we are still at about a seven to ten million dollar per year gap and we do have a

financial sustainability issue and we are not trying to look at tolling as a way to look at revenue and we do need to pay for the services that we are providing and the ferry and the muni and the transit and we are almost there on the performance of the 50 percent target and we have a way to go and we are closing in on the question of financial liability, and as we move forward, and to be able to pay for the revenues that we are allowed to collect and we do have a subsidy from that tidc and shown on these slides, the developer as formally, and the assumption for today and that does need to get refined and it may go up and it may need be higher in the earlier stages, but the goal will be after the developer subsidy is exhausted that the over all program could be self-sustain and there is a budget for that developer subsidy. >> and the cost drivers as i said question is ferry is the

service with the revenue being the toll itself. >> and we will look at these and bring them back to you most likely to the plans and program committee in the fall, and closer to the winter and have some recommendations more specifically on these areas in the meantime, we are continuing to do the out reach and there is a meeting tonight for the folks that can make it here to city hall and the community advisory board at 6:00 p.m. here at city hall and tomorrow, the treasure island development board will meet at 1:30 and the staff will be at both meetings and folks can participate in an on-line survey that is shown here, at www.timma.org and residents are fed at the pantry and in other place and span sxish chinese, i am happy to take the other questions, thank you. >> so, i see no questions, i did have a question when you have a big event like the

oracle, appreciation party, last week, or the treasure island, music festival or the dragon boat festival, what happens with the congestion, or what are the suggestions for those kind of big events. >> thank you so much. >> the policy will determine whether we should capture those folks, for example if they have happen on the weekend or the midday, but the idea is that if there is not congestion we will not be post s those. >> and i share the concerns about the low income and middle income residents that the discounts are waving the fee or some way to address the economic issues that they face. i did have a question, for mr. ratman about the bike sharos item number one, on that was present aid few minutes ago. when can we expect the paint to hit the ground and it is for some of the sharos and the engineering it has been about five years since the 2009 bike plan and i am just wondering

what the time lines are. and so for the sharos that are implemented with this round of funding prop k has funded a few in the past, this round, and these, leaves, 1350, will be the mta and just starting to install them in the summer of 2015 and be done with the end of the calendar year, and that is for the next few months and turn all of those designs over to the paint shop for it. >> and by the end of next year and it looks like a lot of them are in access areas to golden gate park and i think that is wonderful and i know that there is a lot of advocacy to make the entrance more safe and this will encourage more biking through the park. >> colleagues, any other more questions? >> let's open this up for public comment, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak item 6 or 8. >> public comment is closed. >> so, could we have a roll

call on item 6 and then we will go to item 8 after that? >> okay, item 6, commissioner breed? >> aye. >> campos. >> absent. >> kim. >> aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> this item passes. >> thank you. and could we have a roll call on item 8. >> information item. >> okay, it is an information item. >> okay. >> and then call item 7. >>recommend adoption of the draft neighborhood transportation improvement program planning guideline *. >> and we have chief deputy lumbardo, i will try to be brief, and don't hesitate to interrupt me. we had this in the packet, but we did not have time to discuss them. this is the wealth of input that we got during the san francisco transportation plan process and the input from the public and the board members and it is a new program that is funded with the prop k sales tax and i will give you a quick

overview. >> as part of the san francisco transportation plan, and i am just going to say sftp from now on, we did some analysis, related to the mobility and equity, that the walking and biking would be key ways to address, socio economic, and geographic disparitis in the city. >> we heard loud and clear from the board and the public also tha, is focused more on neighborhoods and sort of the results of that is the creation of the neighborhood transportation and the input. >> and that is, and we noted that the program is funded, primarily with prop k funds and there are two parts of it and there is a capitol program that is meant to provide the match to leverage two projects that be delivered in the next five years and the focus of today's items are planning funds and up to $100,000 available for the

next five years to put towards these neighborhood transportation grants and we front loaded the funding and our ability to take on all eleven at one time is obviously limited by the staff resources that are in other agency and so we have a process to kind of help to sort that out. >> and very briefly, what we want to achieve is twofold and to approve and, to build the capacity awareness and capacity, and the transportation planning process, which as you know is full, and very complicated and we want to make this accessible and so there is nothing more than the people's lives than the improvements right in their neighborhood and it is also meant to help to strengthen the pipeline and projects and the other funds that the authority directs or that the other funds that are available for the san francisco projects and i will acknowledge that this is a small program that is it is the first year and the important programs and we have found that through the mtc funded based

transportation program that means that we have lasting impressions and we leads to a lot of great projects. and the goal was up here on the screen and directly from the sftp findings and you will see that each of the proposed planning efforts have to address, one or more of the goals up on the screen, and i will just note, while it is not required there certainly is an emphasis and a desire to benefit the communities of concern in these effort and these are also, the scale, and community supported and this is not the place that if you wanted to look at the central subway, stage three that is somewhere else and these are more improvements such as pedestrian safety or a bike add on to a street resurfacing or the safe routes to the senior centers or schools. >> and we mentioned that to set up to dedicate the fundings to each of the district supervisors and as such, it is set to be a flexible program and so you can taylor the

particular program to the needs of your district and so what is on the screen is the types of efforts that could be funded and just to give you an example, commissioner... (inaudible) called the sun select blueprint and that kind of thing would be perfect. and we just approved allocation for commissioner breed's western edition, plan which is more of your traditional plan, and this could also take project ideas that will identify in other plans that have been prepared by the community or the city agency and we confirm that the priority and the advanced engineering to make them more ready to implementation and... (inaudible) some of these can be done within the 100,000, and to be the bigger assets like a true corridor plan and the western edition and to leverage other funds and we will work with our offices to be sure that we have something that is scoped properly and that the budget matches the scope and now there is one of the things

that we put this together and we worked closely with the mta and the public works and all of the members that are technical working group, including the planning department and the department of public hel and this we all in the different agencies have done the different types of commute and planning effort and we wanted to apply the lessons learned to those and we have tried to incorporate those in the guidelines. one those lessons learned is the clear checklist about what it takes to have a good and successful project and much like any home improvement project, the effort that you put in up front for properly planning and identifying your goals and budget, have to paid off at the end and i will just, note a couple of things, when it is although there is great flexibility in what you actually choose to do, every, unset, planning effort has to have a robust, community effort strategy and another finding that we worried about is that regardless of who takes on the planning effort we want to be sure that there is a timely and

a smooth transition to the agencis that implement that and the key to doing that is engaging the agencies up front and they want to thank you and the full board for funding those staff, to have coordinators who are working directly with your office to scope out these plans and basically, what we are trying to memorialize is that each project have a project charter and it is for the responsibilities for the community members or a group that are involved in and all of the agencies. this probably easier to read in the guidelines, this is the flowchart showing you the process. this is not where we are going to run across the project and there is a deadline and, this is really ultimately each of the offices will recommend which planning effort, you want to happen in your district. and this is the project idea and the project initiation

stage that we feel is the most important, and this is something that we see and we ask a lot of questions about and if the community or the safety members have ideas about the particular ideas that contact the offices director or you can contact the coordinators who are for the transportation authority, and craig (inaudible) and work with the office to come up with an appropriate project, making sure that we have a clear purpose and need and so forth, part of this project, also, hopefully, the second box that we want to end that the project's charter was funded with the prop k and we want to bring the plans back to you for approval and so that we can prioritize the recommendations for a prop k or other funding. and i would just add here because it is prop k funded, ultimately one of the grant recipients has to be eligible

sponsor and it means that it is either public works or the mta and the transportation authority but cal train or the planning department, but the funds can be passed through to work with who we need to to get this done and i think that i will stop there given the hour. we are hoping to get the guidelines approved today and we are working with several of your offices they can speak to the ideas that we are working on with your offices. >> thank you. >> i see no questions and let's open this up for public comment, is there anyone that would like to speak? >> public comment is closed. >> if there are no questions, let's have a roll call on this item. >> breed. >> aye. >> campos. >> absent. >> kim? >> aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> and item 7 passes. >> thank you. >> could you call the next item.

>> item 9,geneva- harney bus rapid transit project update. >> good morning, and this is an update on the bus rapid transit feasibility study that we are conducting right now with several partners on the county line and the project, basically connects the balboa park to the shipyard developments connecting the residents and jobs, and both existing and that are coming on-line in the developments and the ideas that the alignment will actually go through, and let's see that we don't have the presentation. >> and it will go down the geneva avenue, to balboa and crossing bay shore boulevard and then go through middle and crossing on to the bay view. we are working with projects that will be able to implement as well as working with the

long term such as the geneva, extension. >> >> the corridor is expected to increase in the number of trips both because of the increasing in households and jobs. and most of that is actually going to be automobile trips. and our automobile trips and so you can see on this slide, the geneva corridor, segments on the left is expected to increase, and all new, and additional trips to be two-thirds, automobile trips, which is a reflection of the current share for this area which is dominated by the automobile trips and so project is trying to mitigate that and two modes, either biking walking and public transit. >> so a couple of the issues that we have been working with, on the boulevard on the left and we have been looking at a

couple of trade offs for the right-of-way and some of these include, reducing a vehicle lane and where you will have a infection, and you will have increase in the pedestrian walkway and better bicycle infrainstruct stewer these are trade off and we are working on this segment and some of the other sections of the corridor and especially in little hollywood and what we have been focusing on is the response to the community's concerns regarding parking lots and the frequency of the buses traveling through the neighborhood and you can see there that we have been working on what we called a two-way, couplet that will split it into two streets and that will allow to us reduce and minimize the number of spaces left and as

well as reduce the number of buses going through the neighborhood street and during the designated time, and we were working with mta right now, to identify how we can do these options and including the idea of an easement through the set which is the dotted line on the low or on the little right of your slide. and that, that easement will allow us to cross 101 in two points and that will get us a better transit service and that will keep us in the better at each of the crossings and we are starting out reach, round number two, which is basically holding two community workshops on october 23rd and october 25th in addition to a third community meeting in chinese on october 25th, tentatively where we will be sharing with the committee, the project and the alignment alternatives as well as receiving feedback and we will be coming and requesting for the funds for the study to

cover the additional work that we have carried out with sfmta and in addition to covering the costs from the study partners that have extended the passion, mainly from the county, and also, because of additional out reach that we will be conducting. >> next steps for this study, we will complete, the alternatives and the retirement by this year and we will begin the light rail component that is looking at a light rail alignment and in march of 2015. thank you. >> and i see no questions, and open this up for public comment, is there anybody that would like to speak? >> this was an information item and so call the next item. >> item ten, san francisco transportation plan and plan bay area update thises is an information item. >> thank you.

>> hi, so, the transportation, commission and the association of the area government are having their the regional transportation plans strategy update and they plan to complete their update by 2017, with a call for projects in 2015 and the san francisco county transportation authority will be helping to prioritize, it for an update through the update for our own, and transportation plan and the update will be focused and reflecting also the focus and methodology that the ietp will follow and we plan to come to the next plans and committee with a presentation on this item. >> excellent, thank you. >> let's open this item up for public comment. anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> public comment is closed. could you call the next item. >> introduction of new items. >> and i see no new items introduced. let's open this up for public comment. anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> public comment is closed. >> please call the next item. >> public comment. >> anyone that would like to

speak? >> public comment is closed. >> is there any other business before us? >> no, item 13. >> commissioner kim? >> i would just like the opportunity to vote on item number two if possible? >> we need a motion to rescind item two, could we do that without objection? >> we will do a roll call, the motion to rescind >> breed. >> aye. >> campos. >> absent. >> kim. >> aye. >> mar >> aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> motion passes. >> thank you. >> now, roll call on item two, approval of minutes? >> item number two. >> so now, roll call on item number two. >> commissioner breed? >> aye. >> campos. >> absent. >> kim >> aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> item passes >> thank you. >> and last item, 13,

adjournment. >> thank you. >> thank you, everyone, meeting adjourned. you are welcome.
