4:30 pm
information from the steering committee ask that go explicit about equality and protecting the most vulnerable as the steering committee did in april is really, really important mooifl my hope that is continued and i just wanted to give- because of walk sf and the bicycle coalition and our office working with him he's been able to meet the goals with citations to keep our neighborhoods safe as well. >> sir and actually before i do that is there any other public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. >> yeah. supervisor mar without under you emphasizing equality the reason we're doing vision zero the high corridor and prioritizing those is basically
4:31 pm
due to the disproportion endorse to those situations i want to apologize i didn't elevate that but through the lens it is an equality to make sure that we're doing what we can to meet the needs of the vulnerable you yourself that is children and seniors and people at the low income or have had just a whole multiple endorses to situations in neighborhoods than in other easier we need to focus on those. >> i don't want to 0 speak for nicole schneider but the april presentation that was clear especially two slides that were right from the top even before you talked about educational engineering and enforcement that is really important with what
4:32 pm
you said and be explicit or more didn't you know it is really important to speak that. >> i agree we're utilizations to seeing the slides it is good to keep pitting it in there each time so i appreciate that feedback. >> actually, i was going to ask as well about a point that nicole schneider brought up the 26 miles versus supervisor kim to a minimum of streets. >> i want to. >> clarify that point. >> absolutely and again, this is an example of the snapshot we're going to 26 miles understanding i think tom mentioned before certain roads
4:33 pm
have a resolve it didn't need 26 miles of concrete but 26 miles of treatment so, etc. it depends on the need for that treatment so i want to be clear up front it is a treatment that gets us to the corridors i appreciate the pressure from the advocate group obviously we can do more the least one we can try to cross saying we do that anything above that would be great even better. >> thank you so i just want to thank the level of work that went into this quarters meeting for vision zero it really feels like there is a lot important data and information and also some follow-up in terms of what we've
4:34 pm
actually be able to accomplish i want to say win a span of 9 months it's incredible how much vision zero has infiltrated whether or not bicycle safety or not and hear over and over from all aspects the effective family and, of course, our city departments it is huge and going as a cohort as residents the staff members and elected folks in new york city to attend a conference saisz says a lot and cities around the world it is great to see how far we've come there is so much work to be done not a pat on the back but a lot of progress over the last 9 months i'm hoping now we've
4:35 pm
spent a lot of time on the foundation work the work will be accelerated in terms of the ground work i know in the next meeting so if we can get common feedback from the members of the public i want to dive a little bit more deeply into the funding sources it was great to have a birds and view the list but the additional revenue that will be coming in through prop a and b and how that will be impacting the work we'll be able to accomplish burn or around vision zero specifically than the larger items since this is a body of the transportation authority specifically the prop k request that will support the vision zero policy i know i've brought this up through kind of prep he meetings in preparation of today is here i am looking at
4:36 pm
case studies of projects that have begun really well and basically how that was possible and case study of a challenging project that is not saying offering this is the fault of this and that but for policymakers it is helpful to understand why a project happens quickly and successful and why a project is not quick and successful i want to reiterate what i heard from staff it is clear that pedestrian safety or the pedestrian mode is the highest mode and vision zero is hoping us to prioritize capital projects and sfmta and others it is important we look at projects within our districts to make that our highest value we have so many constituents whether small business owners or drivers
4:37 pm
pedestrians kinds of the cyclists sometimes we get lost trying to represent all interests and one cohort is not satisfied it is important we're consistent when we look at vision zero as our policy permit it is for our constituents whether the improvement promotions or hope street we're making good decisions this is our highest value and best for the city supervisor wiener. >> thank you and thank you, again, for the presentation that was helpful the in terms of what we might want to see at the next quarterly meeting mr. maguire you mentioned the possible changes in the state law it might be good to have a presentation on the changes and i'll courage you to think
4:38 pm
broadly on outside the box we were very grateful state legislation that are pro transit and pro pedestrian street safety i think we could make headway. >> thank you any other comments director chang. >> thank you, supervisor kim and thank you sfmta i wanted to recognize all the hard work that went into today's meeting and accident sfmta harvey milk club and task force and the partner agrees 9 months into it the launch vision zero effort it is tremendous to see the deep cultural change and the policy leadership as apartments beyond you the board and mayor into the departments and through our staff i believe we're more aligned than ever as supervisor kim challenged us to deliver
4:39 pm
open a multiple front in 2015 i think one comment and observation i'll make is that in many of the challenges in the project delivery process are kind of invisibly to people some of the improvements are somewhat hard to grasp their intable but very meaningful i want to call out some of the things they relate to leadership every staff member is a learn in their work every community member is a leader working with our staff helping us to think outside the box and outreach approaches in vooifr the program and some of the policies and the tools and the joint training proms you're starting to see i know the
4:40 pm
partner sessions between historic preservation and sfmta working on coordinated improvements we'll bring back to you next year in addition to 9 protective program thank you for your presentation. >> thank you oh, one other it will be great to see aspects of the curriculum we'll be urging for the large vehicle driver program okay seeing no further comments thank you so much to sfmta i know that sfmta was not here today really looking forward to the outcomes and the work over the next couple of months and continue to stay in close partnership let us know what we can do.

4:44 pm
in our core system $3 billion of new revenues i can imagine it being the transportation director in a city and the mayor comes and brings together with $3 billion to invest in the transportation city it doesn't get much better than that fortunately i don't think he's on the market we're happy he's our mayor please join me in welcoming the mayor of the city and county of san francisco mayor ed lee (clapping) >> thank you for that kind introduction everyone good morning. welcome to san francisco. >> good morning. >> actually, the last couple of weeks ago people have being coming up to me and saying are
