was recommended in the city's transportation demand, management strategy that involved the transportation authority and mta and planning department and the department of the environment and this is one of the recommendations that came out tf to do the targeted out reach about the city's recommendations for house alternatives to driving alone in the city. and the pilot program is focused in two neighborhoods and the neighborhoods have been identified and they are the north east mission and the engle side areas and the program involves the development of the out reach tools that are customized for these particular parts of the city, and there is a portion of the program that is targeted at west, and at employers and it is about a 50/50 split at least on the budget side and mta will be doing out reach to evaluate the success and the out comes of this project. and this is a slight change in how we have been doing or

at least funding the tdm program traditionally and we have been funding the administrative for the initiative to the department of the environment and these are the administration of the commuter benefits and the emergency light home and so what this will allow for is that out reach that was done under that program would now be assumed under this new program and that the administration will still be formed. we have funding on the administration side of the project through june of 2015 and existing locations to the department of the environment. >> funding for those sources will be subject to additional allocations and these are highly competitive for the program funds and the last project we present to you is the construction phase of the city college pedestrian connector and the prop aa request, and the prop aa funded the design phase as well and this will improve the pedestrian access from

the new plaza next to and the connecting excuse me, connecting unity plaza with the city college terminal, of what was formally known as the loop and it will allow for the access to it and in the safe manner for the pedestrians so that they don't need to interfere with any of the transit operations at that site. and mta has been working very closely with the city college to get this project in the ground and so that is my presentation. and so your only item on the agenda and there is city staff to answer any questions that you have. >> thank you, commissioner kim? >> thank you. >> i actually was wondering excited to see the 8th and the soma and we have a senior center there and affordable housing and i was curious what the time was for that? >> and i will just ask, my

follow up question to that, i know that sfmta has been looking at ways to explore the stream lining the process used for some of the vision zero projects and i know that signal contractses with an area that sfmta identified particularly after the very unfortunate death of one of our city employees in front of city hall and so i was curious, you know, what the movement has been on that and we can also discuss this vision zero committee and i think that is important and by the way, i am really happy to see the scramble signal on stockton and sacramento and how quickly that went up. after the injuries and fatalities on that intersection. >> as far as the schedule specific to that intersection, we can get you more details, but the entire project is slated for completing of august in 2016. and so, then, we can certainly provide additional details but i do know that

the signal shop has been hiring more staff in order to get projects going faster. so, beyond that, i would invite the signal program managers to address your question further? >> from the sus stinable streets, the question about the streets like anna mentioned we expect to get the contractor 365 days to complete this contract, but it certainly, we try to encourage them to turn on the signals as soon as we are able to and even though it says we are expecting open for use in august of 2016, we are going to seriously encourage them to get as many of these done as early as possible, if any can be done by the end of this year we will push them to do that in terms of coordination, we have been working more closely with the colleagues at dpw with the ramp group and with the street light, and folks also, because, the

signal is multidisciplinary and it is not just the signal it is the street lighting and we work with it more closely and fortunate to be able to expedite this contract. we are trying to expedite this, and this is one of four or five that the staff is working on and we are encouraged and happy to hear that we are moving for ward and you will be seeing more of us in the next couple of months, and suggest more signal funding for the other projects. >> commissioner campos. >> just a quick question and a follow up on that, thank you, but the contract identify the priorities in terms of signals or a time line? >> yes. >> in the past, we directed the contractor to you know, start in the intersections first, and what the limitation is, but some of the intersections required the poles that supervisor kim asked earlier and it was a long items because those have to be really manufactured at the shop and it takes about three months for them to get delivered.

and so we can try to prioritize the easier location and the locations where the hardware is more off of the shelf, and so those will be the ones that we will be typically be able to do first and have the contractor install. >> thank you. >> other questions colleague? >> or the public? >> public comment is closed. and since the house has changed let's do a roll call. >> on that. >> and item four, breed. >> aye. >> aye. >> campos. >> aye. >> kim. >> aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> yee. >> aye. >> item passes. >> thank you. >> next item. >> item number five introduction to new items this is an information item. >> let's open this up for public comment, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> closed. >> and next item. >> item 6, public comment. >> so i see no one lining up

from the public, and the public comment is closed. is there any other business before us? >> there is none. item 7 adjournment. >> thank you, thank you, everyone, meeting adjourned. .
