to prove metropolitan accessibility and prove the position of streets and make that safer important bicyclists asia pedestrians if you vote no, you don't want the city to order the bonds i'm here with steering wheel and proponent of measure a we're also joined by just quentin the chair of the transportation under 98 to 98 and the member of board of supervisors 80 from 1986 a property thank you he'll start with opening comments ms. brinkman the bond is boo about the sufficiency and efficiency and safety you have our streets if you use the streets in san francisco by private automobile or bus why business bike you

care about this bond measure passing it will help all to move better and get rid of congestion it has not passed a bond measure in over 60 years you you'll of the work done to packing pass the bond measures give us the system people will say night not good in order to continue to improve this system we're going to have the make the investment now and not only for the generations to come. >> thank you just coping our opening remarks measure a is as simple as abc so that at this point the abc a stands 0 for a blank check they don't thrill this is a general obligation bond a boring of

money a half a billion dollars repayable over thirty years at interest which will be over one million dollars one hundred million it contains no denied specific projects it is written in glittering gentle itself and allows spending on anything mentioned or perhaps unmentioned in the measure the it isn't probably going to pass because it takes a 2/3rd's approval and i doubt san franciscans wanted to approve a billion dollars in debt. >> thank you ms. bringing brinkman which

changes one of the changes similar to the project people who ride the six and the 5 l seen changes it will increase sufficiency and we're carrying more people on the bus line little 14 mission bus is something this bond money will be spent on saved accident 14 bus about 4 or 5 minutes so passengers on that ride are having a softer ride we're going to see see severe streets people riding open bikes and walking on foot we're going to see the busses able to move faster to allow to carry more people as if we've added for business they'll be able to pick up more people so we're going to see a lot of

positive changes. >> just cop. >> well, i can't put a finger on any one of those on page 199 of the proposition is states specific that this doesn't note quote involve any contempt implicitly commitment to specific projects to be constructed with bond that precedes and use that to say therefore it didn't need an environmental impact reporter it includes money phenomenon the caltrain system you you know what that is 88 percent of rider are from woodside arthur ton palo alto and potrero hill and san mateo and santa clara valleys not san franciscans they could take this money and spend as much as they want for people

in the suburbia's that are not 2k3w50b8g9d to pay it back it's probably illegal under the called government code and uses the word money maybe spent not shall and didn't define even what the money maybe spent on. >> how will the use of those funds impact levels finds traffic congestion. >> they're to impact them positive less traffic congestion meantime people choose to take a 0 bike instead of a car it is positive in order for people to lease it leave their automobile at home we have to make at that safe and sufficient so some of the projects we've increased the ridership and i on business lines people are switching modes and car driving in san francisco

is a declining mode share meantime we make it easier not to drive again, it is a win for all of us. it helps with air pollution and helps with children's activity levels having the streets safe so kids what walk and bike and parents are comfortable walking their kids to school we're going to see positive results from this as we approve transit only lines on market street the buses move more quickly in the transit again, that's a win for tens of thousand of ryder's. >> just cop. >> again another wish list which nauflz every ballot measure and tells what's in it

any proposed use of the bond bonds it subject to review you can't even building this document because the man in the board of supervisors if it ever passed could change those gentle lettuce every general obligation bond we have voted on in san francisco the earthquake save bond a couple of years ago in 2011, the school bonds defined and identified the schools that the money would be spent on when we established bart in the 62 a seven hundred and 92 general obligation bond for bart when we approved the high speed rail authority ♪

2008 this is a conglomeration of words they're to put money into mta's pocket to spend as we want to spend just like they're doing with the central subway from that an estimate in on a 3 of $6000 million plus to 12 plus >> we'll take final remarks. >> this is boring of a giantic performers which will effect no time property owners in measure a is a specific provision that allows a psycho of our renters to 50 percent of the one billion dollars one million dollars over a cost of thirty years don't let them fool you, you offering we won't sell off a bond is isn't in measure a they'll say well,

it's policy if its policy why did the controller go to all of the specific details to tell voters how much this is going to cost them so if you're a entertainment don't think you're getting a free ride you're not florida passes it should be rejected and no on measure a and get specific projects. >> thank you final remarks and yes. i want to remind everybody this about say future of the san francisco about investing in future transportation for our citizens the bond oversight committee do their why in san francisco it states the prashs are not going to be going up because sf general hospital all of those bonds have the same type of oversight i landmark to the citizens of san francisco

leaguer of women voters here to discuss measure b a ballot measure on november 4th before the voters prop b is a charter amendment a requires the city to provide to the sfmta by a percentage to the portion increase take into account daylight and dynamic population as determined by controller's office in 2015 the city increases the base amount over the previous 10 years in future years the city about increase the base amount based on the population over the previous year it requires the sfmta to use 75 percent of any population based increases in the basis amount to achieve the service repairs the other 25

percent to improve street safety and authorizes the mayor to discontinue the base amazes required in the voter is impact a vehicle free if you rotate yes increase the amount the city provides to the sfmta based on the population those funds must be used to improve muffin. >> the street safety if i vote no, you don't want to make 24 change i'm here with peter straus from the board of the san francisco transit riders and proponent of measure b we're joined that i marty the chair of the librarian and a proponent thank you start with opening comments mr. straidz. >> measure b is a common sense approach times transportation funding for population groith

growth muni that over recruited crowded and unreliable san francisco's grown that i 10 percent since 20033 and thank you for the opportunity u muni service is not kept up it pays for the muni service to reflect the growth by measure b will not there taxed it will pay for improvements to the prop money not being used 75 percent will pay for muni vehicles maintenance and for the repair of the fleet and more buses and buses not all of measure b logo for the improvements 25 percent important measures to improve safety ordinance 8sdz street to pay for the measures the plan to eliminate traffic fatalities between 10 years we hope the

voters agree that you're opening remarks thank you we've recommended in the libertarian party recommends a no vote because we speak about population growth, however, you population groerth in san francisco is abandonment to be more than reasonable and the reason for that is policies nowadays removes the market forces that keepsz the balances even so this will geology for example, our sewer system has not been updated since the impoverishing we need first responders and schools all of those systems not tied to population so we have one tied to an unreasonable situation and st. is going to suck up fund from all the others fund there is so much in the pot we need to

allocated it as well as we can. >> with that question what benefits will the passage of that bring to the motorists and to motorist i think the primary benefits relies to increase the traffic essentialist for bicyclists and pedestrians for everyone and the measure such as obnoxiously and the defined crosswalks and better signals and really that's the primary benefit for motorists, however, it that benefit the furrier cars on the street the more people riding muni. >> how do you respond. >> i want to say because we have this didn't mean we have good planning or efficiency and what we're talking about here in my opinion is would be efficiency and for example, when

we allocate money to safety bubbles or designing this and that what other jaend agenda are we talking about are we removing cars together on the street my point efficiency should come first, the ability to get paragraph move in a way to get to work there is no impedes funding is not the issue i think the issue is more efficiency and good planning. >> will this measure increase the frequently of service is low income neighborhoods. >> thank you for your question a number of my colleagues and organizations have been working with the mta the muni transportation agency staff in the last year to develop an entity analysis an analysis of

how whether there are inaccuracy in how it serves the minority in san francisco it will provide the fund to address some you know my means identified having an equitable analyze that has money to address the certifies that come up this is i see them as working hand in glove are the mta start to professionalism this year in providing resources to he'd what needs to be addressed. >> thank you r with or what are you thoughts. >> do we need another layer of bureaucracies may be make sure that muni is seated by the neighborhoods it's aids simple as that we are talking transit crossroads and a completely different design than simply

offering muni certifies to you'll neighborhood whether low income or whatever and again, we're not talking about in my opinion funding is not the issue we're just going to add layers of brursz await sufficiency we have muni asking for more money for the past how many years guarantee i don't see improvements you did we have 50 percent on time. >> shouldn't we be working on this. >> it's time for financial thoughts ms. berry and we need to view it in the context of the entire city we cannot saw we need transportation yes, we need transportation we also need a

whole and i way ray of other services i suggest voters think twice regarding the transportation growth and the transportation because all the other services are going to be left behind doesn't like for example, a very important we're addressing that with other proportion is so we need growth and the growth t is going to be particularly abnormal in san francisco regarding the policies to engendered to remove the connective forces that keep everybody everything in balance. >> financial comments were when the voters established the transportation agency the mta was funded by setting up a fund

for the transportation this was done to eliminate what they call the infighting and the set budget the system worked well but not quite well enough not to protect us for the cuts in 2008, and 9 the measure b tweaks the formulas to address the growth and keep up with the growth it supports the prourpgs zero for the fatalities in the 10 years and invests capacity while investing in making our streets safer and with that said, see i hope during the neighborhood it will help to support measure b in november. >> thank you both if for your time and comments we hope this has been informative for more information in the ballots
