sorry for you for lou gehrig's disease one of the members regarding the polk street project the final project has been unveiled they're are a couple of issues some very, very good and we're pleased but because of short pet i'd like start with to have the city of chicago points the cycle will 0 no longer be between pine and california a that's a high injury area and that change was done after everybody was told publicly no more fundamental changes that's not acceptable to us and also the pilot and the sidewalk extension pilots that were requested by the broadway back as of 2013 they're not we're not seeing the absence

replied by the prelims of some of things and i have word if one of our members there will be a ballot initiative if they don't see that on the proposal for the financial hearing we can expect that will be on the ballot coming in november. >> that issue will come to us in the second meeting in february. >> i hope not i'm going to be begun but if it does have everything we - >> i don't know the exact date sometime in the late winter or early spring. >> so the public hearing is the 30th of january definitely that is a friday at 10:00 a.m. and comes to you sometime after that again. >> thank you. >> but we'll make known all our preferences by then thank you.

>> anyone else care to address the board. >> the next is from the citizens advisory committee. >> yes. i don't see daniel weaver hear. >> go to the closed session. >> i think is what months people came for but too much time for the other things i have a couple of things to touch on at the last meeting we present the changes on january 31st that is part of the moving forward initiative those changes will include the restaurant access for operators and the construction details on katrero avenue based on the feedback we've go on gotten from our operator but more existing implementation of the 050 muni

55 line on 16th street address the service increase on one of our more crowded lines and the launch will be available on january 26th did official launch on the 31st we'll use those days to work out any kings and make sure that the public is aware of the change and has ability to look at the service before the hospital opens we've been working with uc sf and the media both the mainstream media and the different language media to make sure that folks are aware particularly of the 55 but the other service changes we'll have ambassadors and others to make sure the introduction of the new like that is as smooth as

possible sunset tunnel work is resuming like for previous construction that perceive done in and around the n judah line and doing more weekend shut depends on possibly this that weekend and the next as we've done at other times expensive outreach with the bus substitution and from the public's prospective we've gotten it down nobody likes the disruption has a alternative to the other routes for the trains through the tomb while we do the sunset work taking advantage the work along the n judah line like the signal priority upgrades that connects the n judah corrects e vengeance with the

with the traffic signals for the policeman's on n judah at the 28 we know that the shutdowns we're trying to get the most out of them wanted to also recommended to muni give you an update on the changes along hate street as you recall in november we braikt brought forward changes from the hate ashbury association you have directed staff as part of the approving the action to work with the mentor to address in some of their concerns we met shawn kennedy and other staff met with the organization on november 21, 3 days after the meeting again in december and

have been able to work to a nuke of issues with them we sent a letter to them refirmly the she will not were not part of the legislation through the board and work with them through the design how the bulb outs will look you may remember their concerns were about creating space that is misused and how the she will not what aboutes batting the problems with security we did agree that the bulbs proposed for the in bound this is when the 71 turns from stanton on the hate moved to the existing zone in front of the mcdonald and hate and the out bound unbelievable at masonic and hate we're not pursue it you

did approve that it but there's issues to be worked out we'll not pursue it at this time we're happen with the accommodations they were concerned with the timing of the construction and we'll be able to work with them and the partners of public works to make sure it is the lease disruptive as possible when we do construction in the neighborhood we'll be able to do so but i'm told there membership expressed appreciation for the changes we were able to make and excited about moving forward we are that be able to continue to work with them on the design and the timing aspects you also asked us to look at the designing for bubbles into the side streets as you recall we got a letter proposing what we are proposing for hate and the

side streets the time we told us one of the issues the turning rad. >> that are difficult to do there are speak we'll be able to do some might be small and they'll be worth doing but coming to you in february or march with additional prospering proposals bans that direction you got from you and in the lower hate the lesser or if i concerns continuing for the folks the buchanan or the proposed signals that people have concerns with we did the follow-up added our direction and i think we're inadequate consensus from the community i wanted to note that is one of many we've been getting recently but an important recognize the institute of the engineers that is an eminent group recognized

our caesar chavez straight project as transportation project of the year from the bay area chapter of the i he a pretty big deal we did this in collaboration with the ms. johnson to turn caesar chavez into a complete street we looked at the days when it sprayed the mission under boiling heights many collisions on the streets and it was an unwelcoming street project which was nearly $12 million project transformed the street after replacing the sewer expanding the sidewalks and the medium and adding green infrastructure like pavement it

was a major creek at one time an area prone to flooding has energy fiscal street lighting and plaza and really 2r0r789 the character of that street and committed together the community at full name on she and he there were parents and kids trying to cross it was difficult to cross and now it's crossing distances are less and the traffic is slower and bike lanes in 0 both directions and this landscaping has made that a different feel there were one hundred and 50 recorded crashes in a 5 year period prior to this project and since the project bike a number of people own bikes on caesar chavez increased more than 4 hundred percent so it's

being used at a much better street about the concerns of traffic never came to pass even though we took out a lane in both directions it is better infrastructure so for the whole district and since we wrote up the notes we've gotten another award so good recognize it's a model project we should keep in mind when we're trying to transform other things we'll hear one had great outcome and the region other those parts of country recognize finally, i was in washington, d.c. for part find last week and it was a transportation research board annual conference and annual meeting i was able to as part of

a small group met with secretary fox and number of folks on white house i wanted to point out much more positive things in which congress is passing as you recall the transportation bill is set to exterior on may 31st it was a relatively short bill there were concerns based on how things change and if the next election it will be difficult to get things duplicate but quite the opposite they'll be able to get a bill done not in time for may 31st but very optimistic and hopefully about getting a long term bill done and being able to get the funding in last place and in the christen chronicle

like a contract tax it was a little bit reassuring and as we go forward with things like making muni available to more folks it is - it was encouraging to hear that the federal government is not yet giving up on the federal transportation program and hopefully will sustain it more or less at the level in recent years and that's positive that concludes my report. >> for the update thank you for the report on hate street sometimes creative thought and further outreach can go a long way in coming up with new outcomes in making people feel

better about the projects. >> okay. now closed session. >> we'll move to item 13 conducting closed session. >> motion for closed session and a . >> there it goes okay thanks. >> item 13 announcements of closed session motion to gloss are not disclosed the information. >> second. >> all in favor, say i. opposed? we'll not disclose. >> you have to announce the settlement or 234089. >> i do. >> okay. the cases well, there's only one settled the other one an update. >> okay. so the board met in

closed session to discuss jess versus cc sf and the load the board voted to settle in case and relax on the t line case. >> that's it thank you for your outstanding vote for the leadership of the commission i was a little bit concerned but appreciate that the opposition. >> you you know, i was happen (laughter) okay. great. thank you congratulations on your - >> no, but i say thank you

>> good morning, everyone. this is the tuesday, january, 13th 2015, meeting of the plans and programs committee of the san francisco county transportation authority. my name is eric mar and i am the chair of the committee and to my right is vice chair jane kim and to my left is david campos, and our clerk is steve stamos and could you call the roll? >> campos? >> present. >> ferrill i am sorry commissioner kim. >> here. >> mar. >> here. >> yee. >> absent and breed absent, and we have a quorum.

>> thank you, please call item two. >> citizen's advisory committee report and this is an information item. >> thank you and we have maria lumbardo. >> chief deputies, due to the winter hospitals we do not meet before this meeting in the january meeting at the will elect a chair and vice chair and so you may find a different speaker in a couple of meetings. >> let's open up for the public comment, seeing none, public comments is closed. call the next item. >> three, approve the minutes of the december, 9, 2014 meeting, action item. >> i see no comments and open it up for public comment, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> public comment is closed roll call. >> on that number three, breed. >> breed absent. >> campos. >> aye. >> kim. >> aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> yee? >> absent. the item passes. >> thank you. >> please call the next item.

>> item number four,recommend allocation of $3,815,332 in prop k funds, with conditions, and allocation of $1,201,000 in prop aa funds, with conditions, for seven requests, subject to the attached fiscal year cash flow distribution schedules. >> and this is an action item. >> thank you, and we have m anaa ford, >> deputy director for the policy and programming with the transportation authority and i am here to present this item to you today. as far as the summary of the requests, we have a total of about $5 million in pending requests. including about 4 million in property k half cent sales tax and 1.2 million in prop vehicle registration fee funds and the first request is for the environmental phase of the muni metro east project which i will begin with a summary and then we have the additional 6

projects with construction or implementation phases that will be implemented with these funds that are requested and i will start with the mme as i will refer to it phase two request. welcome. and so this request is for prop k funds of $2.6 million dollars, and we very excited to see this project progressing. there are two elements that are under the purview of the environmental review phase that will be required for construction of two major facility improvements at the muni metro east or the mme and the first portion of this goes to the vehicle maintenance and mid life overhaul facility and this will create a new 75,000 square foot building to be constructed on four acre site that is adjacent to mme to

the east and currently a vacant site and it will allow for maintenance and overhauls of the entire range of the sfmta fleet of vehicles and this includes, motor coaches and trollies historic street cars as well as lrvs. the additional portions of the project, and i will go into more detail as well, are body repair and paint shop that will allow for the complete overhauls as well. and it included drive through paint booths, and drive through body repair and plus, two body repair stalls that can accommodate articulated buses or two lrvs. and for the street, for the storage canopy and tracks to accommodate the sfmta fleet of historic vehicles including projected growth vehicles or expansion vehicles, the entire historic street car fleet is proposed

to be moved and consolidated at mme. and so this new canopy structure will be constructed on the south west corner of the site and i will show you a map in just a moment. and this will provide weather protection to the historic fleet. and it is similar to what is already constructed at the cameron beach yard and in addition it will provide additional storage tracks that access the new canopy and it provides additional capacity for housing these vehicles. the cost that the conceptual planning level is just over $200 million and the additional costs will be known as the environmental progresses and the four acre site that is adjacent to the mme is known to have contaminated soils and so the cost of remediating those and those contaminations will be better known through the environmental phase and also

the project is proposed to end up as lead certificated and so there are a number of elements that go along with that. >> could you remind us where mme is located in the city? >> absolutely. so, maybe i will just jump to --. >> and i should alert the clerk that we are joined by commissioners yee and breed as well. >> sure. >> so, and mme is to the north of the facility is 25th street to the east, west, is on the south side, and the north, south, and the north east to the south west, is, and 25th street is to the north and chavez is to the south >> and colleagues, if they offer a tour of the suits, seeing it first hand is

really helpful to see the conditions of and why it is necessary to make the up grades. >> absolutely just call the office, i am going to go back to the slide to address the funding plan. >> so, the preliminary funding plan has 6 million that are identified in the five year plan and mta has also identified 37 million in prop a general obligation bonds that were passed in november and a half a billion in prop b, general fund support and this was also the measure that was passed by the voters in november of 2014, and there are significant funds to be identified, and for the project that is, and this is not unusual to have the unidentified in this process as it progresses and the cap and funds and as well as the

various, new revenue sources are also under consideration, and construction could be completed as soon as 2019 but it is of course, subject to fund availability. i will touch on the benefit and this is the first step in what is called the shuffle in the vision report that requires a whole host of operational improvements to happen in line, so that this would be the first in a series of improvements. to reconfigure, consolidate and expand the existing facilities to make the operational needs of the street and the vision was passed in 2012 and amended in 2014 to represent the latest fleet plan under the sfmta and they have a very aggressive schedule that we are all looking forward to seeing, each of the

completing to replace the existing fleet over the next five years and also replacing and expanding the light rail vehicle fleet as well. we will also see that mme could serve us all fleet vehicle types and they are spread out across the city with the specialized staff spread out across the city and will allow for the consolidation for the staffs, and it will also eliminate the need for potential up grades to existing body repair base and paint booths at other facilities and there might be redundant projects that no longer need to proceed and it will also be helpful for the historics to be consolidated at mme where the paint, body repair shop is given that this is such a

unique and a maintenance requiring portion of the fleet in its uniqueness. and in addition and it creates an on site mid life overhaul facility. right now, the mid life overhauls that mta does do are off site and they are are done by a consultant. and this would allow for a structure to be created where there is an on site facility to provide this service. and we certainly encourage this to be provided on a regular basis so all of the mta fleets as part of the recommendations for all of the vehicle procurements is for the schedule and the funding plans for doing this type of work and now this will allow for this work to be provided on site. which will allow for the vehicles to be taken out of service for a lesser amount of time, and also, hopefully encourage this work to be done. >> and continuing on, it will

co-locate historic street cars at mme and creates an weather anpy for the fleet and it creates the space for the beach yard for the new lrv fleet and particularly for the expansion vehicles, and it also allows it to be used for the temporary storage of the motor coaches during the renovation of the woods' facility and that will ultimately gave mta the option to vacate the entire facility, and so as i mentioned this is part of a string of improvements to various different facilities across the city. next project is signal and contract, 62 and so mta is requesting funds for construction, and up on the screen you will see a list of the locations, and with the current existing controls that are at the locations.

and so there are several new facilities planned across the city as well as a flashing beacon that is planned at fransico street and this is for the entire new structure. this is fund and we funded the design phase and this before you today is $460,000 and in the problem k and aa funds and the 150,000 is funding that has been, what we termed deobligated or released from the design phase. and mta was
