>> thank you, commissioner mar, and commissioner yee? >> commissioner kim? >> we did attend it in new york city hosted by the transportation alternative last week, two weeks ago. and it was actually really great to hear what our counter parts in new york city and sweden have been doing to implement the vision zero in their country, or their city. and i also, we got a chance to learn a lot about the advocacy groups that exist in new york city as well. and i know that some of the colleagues that were already very familiar with the transportation alternatives and families for safe streets but it was my first opportunity to actually see what the advocates

do on the ground to really push, new york city's policies moving forward. and also the incredible network and those who have lost the members of the family to vehicle collision and how powerful their testimony was both this vision, forward. and just want to recognize that we had a large con ent and we had commaederer from sfpd and we had several including john knox white, and megan wier, also presented and we had members of the pedestrian, safety, advisory committee, and bike coalition and walk sf and china town, and senior

disability, action and central city, sro collaborativive. and just a couple of take aways that i had and i know that norman is going to share some of his i was impressed by their work on the city drivers in particular and both are the large vehicles, but any city employee that drives in new york city. and it is something that i think that san francisco should model itself after and use some of their curriculum, and they have the tracking devices on all of the vehicles and the tracking devices, which will track how hard they accelerate and whether they are wearing seat belt and a number of things and the driver, education course is definitely, a whole other level and with mta which is a separate agency from the city, they have now

made it their policy that it does not matter whose fault it is, that the driver should always be driving defensely, and i think that those shifts will impact the ability to achieve vision zero and we got to hear from one of the chiefs in sweden and he talked about how they were able to cut the number of deaths in half by 50 percent and actually have the speed limit has been key to that and what they have been able to do to enforce the speed limit is what they, and what they don't call them speed cameras they call them safety cameras. and they have been able to implement that throughout the country and it is effective in lowering the speeds and

therefore, reducing the we have a lot of work to do, but we are far behind and unfortunately the countris in asia and europe but we are doing well in the u.s. but we have a lot more work to do and we are able to learn and share the best practices. if we can go to the public comment on this item. >> commissioner mar and yee? >> there were a lot of take aways for myself, and i mean, that it was nice and comforting that we had really the largest con tining ent and i felt like we were in san francisco, even

though we are in brooklyn and it is one of the boroughs that are larger than san francisco and it was interesting to hear some of the streets and the pedestrians itself and the message that they are trying to get across is that the human beings make the mistakes and pedestrian ans will make the mistakes and they can be distracted and we should pay attention to that. and one of the things that was interesting, was the opening sort of keynote address, in which the professor there talked about streets in a very different way, and just prior

to i guess, in the maybe, in a 1920s or so, and the streets were, quickly changed because of the auto industry. and in which they made and they basically had a campaign, the tree belongs to the car rather than the pedestrians will we get back to that notion? probably not, but it is interesting to know that history, and that the streets were not made for the cars originally, but we have to keep in that mind, and as we talked to in particular, the drivers who have this, and the streets belong to them. >> and i have noticed to a lot of people, over there from san

francisco, and that is what we have already, in san francisco. by the way. and it is a default speed limit. and i would really like the idea of the safety cameras. in swaoed sweden, what they said besides the cameras is that they really didn't have that many, but, what they did not have were movable cameras. and so, they were able to move it from one place to another, and every so often. and so if it felt to drivers like they had a lot of cameras up. and maybe that is something that if we don't have enough funding if we pursue that avenue, we may want to look at that strategy. i think that one of the things that really, we have like advocates we have walk advocates, and these organizations, and one of the

things that struck me is that we didn't have families involved. and in an organized way, and the as commissioner kim was saying, the familis for safe streets, that group was really to me, the power behind the advocacy and i am hoping that people that went to the syposium will talk among themself and see if we can form a similar group. and the point about the black box and so forth, i will, and i am already pursuing seeing what we can do in staoet for that, and it is just such an inexpensive tool for us. and to, and 250 bucks a crack, and for, and, the approach will be whether we could monitor to see if we could save gas, but it also, the residual of that was that they were able to

detect the bad drivers and not doing the right thing. and so, muni supposedly has a black box and others, and so i am trying to find out who else, or what other department haves that and which one don't and we will find a way to hopefully mandate that and we have that in the city cars. and so, those were some of the take aways. and i am glad that i went. and i loved their messaging. and in regards to the education piece, and pedal safety. and i took a cab, and a few times. and in the back they have the stream, and about 25, 30 percent of what they were showing they kept on saying visions zero, vision zero and so the messaging was really powerful and they had the street signs all over the place. and i understand that clear

channel donated a bunch of signs for them to put up or to send these messages. i am hoping that we could, our education piece could be as aggressive as that. and i know that it was just starting with, and i love it to be that way. thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner mar? >> yeah, i just wanted to thank commissioners kim and yee, and i wanted to remind the body that there is a budget legislative analyst report on reducing speed limit and looking at model and other cities and so i will do my best to try to integrate what you have learned and brought back with the budget analyst report, which i think that we will having the hearing later in the new year. and i wanted to also say that just remembering now, in austin, unfortunately they were not able to pass a one billion dollar transportation bond.

a spread out city, verses a dense city and, we were able to pass our prop a there is a lot of differences in our electorate supporting transition, i know that a lot of effort went into proposition a and i want to thank tang and others for the support and the mayor as well. and i want to give a plug for chair avalos and i will be in new york city for this gathering of city council and local leaders called local progress. and we will be in city hall, and believe that it is on thursday, of next week. with different panels participating on a economic justice panel, with city council folks from philadelphia, and dc and other cities as well. but, we will do our best to learn about the transportation issues as we are there with progressive and liberal council members from around the downtownry as well. thank you. >> thank you. >> so we can go into public comment. >> any member?

provided clean power and other electric services to the departments including the muni and the san francisco international airport and the san francisco general hospital our fire stations and employing police stations and city hall and other municipal function the power produced by hetch hetchy is one hundred green house gases free in an era where the fire change is impacting our environment we have to move towards a free energy power we have to walk the walk many benefits awe cross crew from local control and lower rates and commitment to local communities and promotion of

renewalable energy and accountability expanding the retail customer basis i sigh retail as opposed to ohio do power will provide revenue for the infrastructure investment rail power is sold at 2 or 3 more than retail versus 3 to $0.05 as wholesale the puc estimates 10 megawatts of service it obtains it's net revenue will increase by had million dollars annually in other words, in the puc were to take one hundred megawatts of hiding electric power and sell is to rail customers that will generate $4 million that can be

put into the system including our street light system to put that in context the transbay terminal that has the terminal provider will purchase between 4 and 8 megawatts a year san francisco puc power faftsdz have capital needs totally hundreds of millions of dollars like hetch hetchy and other parts of the system and locally a and most visibly in our san francisco puc ownerships owns more than 20 thousand street lights and those street lights are in a state of disrepair they have significant deferred maintenance and until recently the puc wasv. $250,000 to main 2 hundred plus strltsz the agency

thas has increased that autumn it is quite inadequate and the lack of investment in our street light has table everyday impacts but the point of interest enterprise lacks the resources bogging because it is starved of arouses not a retail provider and this legislation will help it be to a reilly provider in you want to keep this amazing power seat the puc ms. have no more customers it will provide the puc with the first time right of yours for the public and private services it will not compel the puc to be the provide but give them the first right of the refusal it will have the authority to first conduct a study then in appropriate provide power if it makes

economic and environmental sense this can be for the sports arena and the large housing projects, etc. go in addition the interesting being sold it private power to augment their green house gases portfolio if more hetch hetchy power is used locally for retail customers they'll have to provide or found alternatives for g h free energy and we'll see an increase in terms of providing this energy thank you statewide level and using the clean energy will help us to meet the climate goals in 2008, the board of supervisors adapted a policy that has a system one hundred percent g h c freebie
