from public works this project was into our office i have - sorry. >> take your time. >> all right. all right. thank you again, this project came to public works back in june and we're reviewed it and we're into the

regular process and this is the light rail market from van ness to embarcadero about two miles illuminating the city which was described and it is the works first sculpture of its kind and the entire route has one hundred 42 lights that is going into the city through the tubdz and this is an example that joined obituary us we got from the sponsor which is the illuminate our of the arts this is the same thing that shows the ride this is typically what the future will look like on both sides of this is a cross section of market street which is not clear but you'll have two lights running with the traffic

this is a temporary project approximately 4 years and will be installed by illuminated art and deemed by them >> the installation will be. >> all done by sponsor. >> but approximately that 4 years. >> we'll hear more about that the reason it's temporary we don't know think go what is happening that the market street it could be permanent in the future. >> thank you led which is one of the things discussions crossing market street will not be allowed they would start at the intersection so large tracks of the train will stop and this is agreed by the city of the

public works of mta the lights will not be crossing the intersection basically right here at the intersection the lights will stop and continue from after the intersection what our office did was once we got the project reviewed we deferred to the planning for others and the sfmta and san francisco arts commission utilities public utilities commission and i think also the fire department they each agency responded and the applicant was everything was they have their discussion with the sponsor and they were they agreed with the

project they continued they responded to our office with their comments saying the project come mrildz to their general plan and sf arts commission recommended the project for approval the public utilities and the pot of gold they've agreed with the sponsor they yield their facility on project for their area systems projects were reviewed and the project was approved gordon's similarly sf fire department also had no objection on the project they made sure that the spokesperson needs to make sure

they're working to put out a fire if anything happens the sponsor will maintain it this is the cross section it shows the fire truck spreading it's lards and sometimes beyond the way of the lights and that was what was discussions between the sponsor and the fire department same thing this is just the care plan that agreed between the sponsor and the city as you can see in climax the sponsor supervisor wiener said the project received a lot of letters and support from the businesses individuals and that is the conclusion we have no objections as well one

thing we actually, the city attorney reviewed it regarding the resolution as we speak and will be communicating with your office. >> great i know there were i believe that mr. malmet would be proposing non-substantive amendments to the resolution you don't know. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney i don't have them i can talk to malmet. >> they're not substantive it's clean up language so if we don't have it today, we can take it up with the full board. >> he said he was working he didn't have time to talk to me. >> and again, if we need to make them at the full board tomorrow that's fine. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you very much to the department we have benefiting

from the illustrated of the arts. >> thank you, everyone thank you you know what makes a city great, of course, like san francisco is the land and the buildings and the way the city is laid out no street more important than market street and we looked at market street everyone knows about market street this is the specific spine of san francisco but what makes the city great is the people and our ability to work together the market light rail is an extraordinary example of a big community coming together many people consider on a possible challenging on this street that is 2.1 miles long in our city with 6 volts of power we're grateful for people making

that that includes the puc and the fire department and i don't think want to miss anyone else the preservation commission and sf planning and others beyond that the people at hoff people that designs high speed rail to make sure we have a starting point in a public space and it will extend ultimately people that are spider by the incredible work of you people and the private community to bring the money in place to surprise the world in a project wouldn't be possible without the community that made the bay lights a reality and today is is

a great day we're getting xiefltd about that project i want to take the moment to highlight the difference the bay lights there's a different artist with a different set of instruction and the artist are making a beautiful eloquent statement and expression of civic automation it celebrates the mass transportation it used the light and energy and movement to create a sense of community up and down the length of market street but the emotional divides that keep it open for half a century i'm feeling grateful to everyone that made this project possible if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> thank you to you and the bay

lights and people that are to think about ways to beautify our city and people that make it happen so thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. at this point we will opening it up for public comment is there any public comment on item one. >> good afternoon, supervisors chair weiner and supervisor cohen and supervisor jane kim joe from the local 6 probably here as a san francisco resident to speak in favor of the project we have a good history with the contractors working on the bridge the transfer of the lighting is all there glad to see we're going to be working with management and labor and with the asphalt installation of the lights they're modern sger active

first convey i think that things took a leadership that started in this room and it's been picked up bid boards and commissions around the city and fully embraced by the mayor we've made progress and additional supported from the november election we have been working very closely with the other city departments and the executive branch as well as the ta and external stakeholders to take the concept of dissolutions and make it city policy and make that part of what we do and how we do our business and the mayor has not only appointed someone to lead efforts from his office but personally been involved bringing together me and my

colleagues to make sure we're focused and coordinated to execute i feel like we've gone from where we started at the good friend of mine i beginning of the year but something that maybe felt like that was a stretch goal or something maybe folks were certain what was obtainable to a point we're. >> aligned with the stakeholders feeling this is now, it's not a stretch goal but city business in the how we're designing our streets and outreach and enforcement efforts and reilly working towards this goal in a meaningful way i think we're making go very good progress at this point it is never as fast and the mayor or i

would like or the fellow department heads that but the staff st. is working hard to advance vision zero doing things differently than in the past and so we can achieve the goal of zero traffic fatalities i've fafkd our director tim maguire to lead the effort in cooperates with the other city agencies you'll be hearing from him and him as a our new director as sustainable streets this is his priority to make sure we're implementing and realize the vision of vision zero i appreciate the work that you're doing many this committee and

your leadership to support of the work we'll continue to need their support and i'll give more detail thank you for your leadership through the mayor and his departments the departments the public works and planning and police department and all the others agencies we're full steam ahead on vision zero i'll leave you in good hands to walk you through those 3 items. >> thank you director reiskin i want to recognize the new director of sfmta sustainable streets tom maguire. >> thank you, commissioners it is great to be here this afternoon that is the absolutely number one priority 2014-2015

for the mta we've got a broad range of materials we'll be starting with tim pitching for megan he'll be talking about the research about the refined high energy network it is an important data many undermines the strategy and you'll come back and talk about the engineering product delivery and the education underway and talk about some of the policies o policy rules we have that be coming out of the vision zero task force over the next couple of years with that, i'm going to turn it over to timothy talking about the new data natural lyrics. >> good afternoon, commissioners timothy with mta unfortunately megan can't be

here she has a home situation i'm going to go over the updates the network which we've made tremendous progress a couple of years ago just quick you background in 2011, we started working on gathering the data on the resources and we went from intersection data to the correlation with crossroads there's on overlap of neighbors one thing we saw we added in some additional data that come in that includes the various modes as they came available like the corridors we recently added last spring one thing we've found is while

we see the fatalities between vehicles and people the fatalities by mode are quite stalk only 2/3rd's felt fatalities are motorist collision so the difference between this and vision zero it is proving street traffic so this is a big shift since the network so what you see now we have the data for pedestrian vehicle to pedestrian collisions and fatalities we have motorcyclist collisions and bicycle there are 12 percent of street miles that is not that many still a high concentration of the streets that equalities

one hundred and 25 miles from the goal of 13 of those miles you saw three-quarters regardless of the modes the traffic collisions it is a focused allocations we have in the city can you ask a quick question i want to make sure i said 12 percent of our streets or 70 percent of people and vehicles have severe fatalities on 12 percent of our streets. >> exactly, exactly yeah, we thought that, too it is of those modes it is still hatch on those particular streets some overlaps but on these corridors we have our work kit
