ficers are dedicated to ensurg a reduction and with walk sf and the bike coalition to better use this data and met rix that are really catered to individual neighborhoods. >> thank you so much commander. i'll continue with evaluation and data progress and through a work order we have order and also have a better picture of the longer term health impacts and costs and evaluating the safe street sf enforcement campaign focusing on improving

driver yielding to pedestrians in san francisco in san francisco on select corridors actually including geary and data analysis over all to the vision zero initiatives and with respect to policies the priorities have been brofd improved and kate breen and tom maguire will be providing more details in today's agenda. with that i'm going to turn it over to tom to continue the presentation. >> i just want to recognize that supervisor farrell is here and has joined the committee meeting. >> thank thank you tim and megan and i'm going to talk about the progress we've been making on all of the challenges around vision zero and the engineering which is being

delivered through multiple avenues if we're going to reach vision zero we're going to have to broaden the base and get safety treatments into every capital and operational project that we, as a city do. there are a few different batches of projects that i want to report to you today and the first is the the 24 and 24 project that we made the commitment to completing by the beginning of 2016 so i'm happy to report that we have 12 of the 24 complete right now and a couple of the highlights completelied in the last quarter since we last met in december and they are improvements to 19th avenue and single timing changes between sloat and j u.n.

ipero, serra and those are painted treatments that that will deliver immediate benefits while we wait for more concrete treatments to come in and i'm happy to say we've completed the lighting in the tenderloin and this is the the quickest and simplest thing that we can do simply giving pedestrians and drivers a better opportunity to see one another and to keep each other safe safe on the streets and i'm happy to say we've completed the tenderloin lighting as well and this spring -- the second street pedestrian treatments between market and howard

street and pedestrian bulbs at 16th street and mission as well as some improved traffic safety traffic controls at mission and silver and additional additional signal timing changes at 4th and king and our visionzerosf.org has updates so you can always go on there to have a look at how we're doing on project delivery and one thing i said last time and i always try to make this blunt while the 24 projects were really a great mutual commitment by the board of supervisors and the the mayor it's in no way the only focus of our efforts. we're improving through all of our

capital and short-term engineering efforts. by the end of calendar year 2015 we'll have touched intersections across the city and longer term capital construction projects and a couple of highlights there we've been accelerating our delivery of continental crosswalks another quick and inexpensive and very effective way to protect pedestrians from turning vehicles and in fact geary boulevard that has been a focus of that effort. we did 28 continental crosswalks and over a hundred since january 1st of this year the last of which was painted by the mayor this morning at the corner of geary boulevard and thank you supervisor mar for joining us out there today. so that

effort is moving quickly likewise we actually lowered the speed limit on fulton street between arguillo and the great highway and that's just gone into effect where that tragedy crash involving the motorcyclist took place today and we're looking to construct at least 11 miles of new bike treatments whether they be upgrades to bike lanes or new bike lanes or improvements like cycle tracks and the separation, a physical separation of cyclists and traffic has been going on for the last few weeks and many of those cycling corridors are also

high crash corridors and also effort to improve reliability and travel time on the busiest muni routes and whenever we build out these corridors we improve sight lines and rearrange the parking on these streets and we were able to create bulb on some of the trickier scene of intersections and will be constructing other pedestrian safety features on streets like mission and stockton and columbus throughout this year as well. so by saying that i hope i give you the sense that we are both integrating the

safety spirit of vision zero into all of our engineering work and also trying to accelerate the project delivery of both the really complicated capital projects and the simple paint and regulation projects as fast as we can. also just want to give you an update on some on some of the internal project control improvements we talked about last time in december. we have been working with our project delivery partners at public works we build a project dashboard that will help us to coordinate project planning and design among the different agencies we now have the vista system a map based system for tracking all capital projects in the city and shows all the high crash corridors and now to ensure

that the project has as many safety features as can be designed into the scope and finally we are embarking at the end of this is this month on a joint training exercise ask i'm happy to report over 80 engineers and project managers will be going through a project managing training course and first of all that will get the agencies thinking about project delivery in tandem and maybe building good peer relationships but more importantly talking the same language and using the same tools and improving the way we use prop k and the other shared funding sources. >> so i'll talk a little bit about the money behind all of these projects. the first table i want to share with you

is the funding sources for that first batch of 24 and 24 projects and as you know we very aggressively put that list together over a year ago and we got funding from a variety of sources and you will see revenue bond money in there and development impact fees and our own operating funds and mayor's budget and the bucket of money being used to deliver those 24 projects has lots of sources in it and it's a good example of how, when we set the bar very high for ourselves we we can come up with creative funding solutions. >> supervisor mar has a question about the slide. >> yeah mr. maguire i know you are mentioning the projects and

there's many others in the city but i remember in june, we heard presentations on the small project delivery and there were a bunch of projects that had begun which led to community groups advocating for vision zero and i'm wondering are we still including projects that had begun before the 24 that you are talking about? >> the list of 24 i'll confess this list was developed before i got here. >> yeah before you got here. >> my understanding it was mutually agreed upon by this committee and the city's vision zero task force so yes, those projects were not invented in the spring of 2014 many of them were projects that had been under consideration may be stalled in design and others

were things that we did develop and accelerate. what i think they all have in common is they are being delivered a lot faster than they would have had we not had that commitment. >> and coordination with the mta and better communication and coordination is one strategy what are the other strategies in terms of delivering projects faster? >> i talked about the coordination with dpw and last time we came here we talked about -- there's a monthly principals meeting between mta and public works staff we're literally going line by line that list of 24 projects and troubleshooting where they are and identifying whether it's it's it's it's it's a contractual issue or permit issue and all the things that

can trip up a project and it's not just for the 24 projects but we're learning some blessings on how to avoid those mistakes in the future and that's a window in how the staff is working through the challenges in a proactive way rather than simply accepting a a delay is something that's unavoidable. >> supervisor yee has a follow-up question to that. >> i think i might have asked this question prior to you coming, so there are other projects that are related to our vision zero and specifically through district 7's participating budging process and last year we were able to get funding for nine projects

-- all small projects -- and requested that these projects be added to the 24 to be discussed and to be monitored and to bring us up to date on where things are. these projects were vetted somewhat to say they are possible to do and there's funding associated to it, it's over a year now and i still don't know what's going on and we're going to have even more additional projects like this through my second year of participatory budging and right now mta is supposed to be taking the lead on those and i would like the committee to look at at the possibility of maybe having ta do it which

ever organization has the capacity to get things moving. i don't believe some of these things we're asking the department to do takes a year before they could even discuss it. so i'm kind of disappointed at two levels -- the implementation and the fact that it's not even included in this discussion when i asked specifically for those projects to be included in the discussion i'm not blaming you because you weren't there at the time and that's my request and i hope that you know in the future we could include these things. >> okay i'd be happy to chase down that list and provide you with a follow up on the status of those projects. i know -- i think i know some of them and i think many of them are moving forward so you know, i haven't put together an accounting of

every project that we're doing in the city here but we can certainly follow up with you on that. >> again don't take it as a blaming thing it's just something i want to mention so you can take it into consideration for your next presentation. >> sure. >> supervisor kim can i just ask one more question? i don't i don't want to put you on the spot anymore than we have mr. maguire but my count from 6-year old sophia liu and new year's eve and new year's day to alfred yee, 87 years old that count gets up to 43 pedestrian deaths not counting vehicle and bicycle deaths. i'm just really anxious that

this process to speed up projects and to really focus on key high injury corridors and moved along as quickly as we can and this morning as we were painting stripes on the crosswalks which i think is a really good thing, i'm really interested in how we're going to adequately budget projects and move key strategies forward. you and i talked about safe routes foreseen i for, seniors as a potential model and i'd really appreciate it if you have other ideas of how we speed up challenging the culture of speeding and dangerous driving and how we work not just on the enforcement which is so critical but the engineering and the education to break the culture that's causing these unfortunate deaths of this 87-year old man and others, the 3 this year that have already

plagued the city i just wanted to get that off my chest. >> i'm glad you shared that. clearly we we haven't reached the point where they are unacceptable to us because they continue to happen but we want to think a little bit more how well we are communicating this framework not only are traffic deaths not acceptable in san francisco but leaders at the state level being willing to support us in that goal and make changes to the state law. >> moving on with the presentation so we talked about the funding sources as i said there are many other areas many more projects going on right now and many more projects to come that will be helping us reach vision zero and i want to give you a snapshot of 3 of

those important funding sources prop a, b and k and prop a is the half a billion dollars 10-year general obligation bond that the voters passed -- >> actually before you move on this will lead into our next item. should i just have the next item called? it's on the vision zero budget update so before you go on -- can we add this item? can we please call item 3 and 4 together? >> item 4-vision zero budget update an information item. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> okay so prop a, the general obligation bonds, we know at this point the general categories into which those moneys are going to be flowing and a very large amount of large amount of that money is

going to go into street safety improvements 68 $68 million good to pedestrian safety improvements that is the walk first and next generation of walk first projects and improvement to our traffic signal system and 52 $52 million towards the delivery of complete streets on key corridors throughout the city and of course nearly 200 $200 million for the bus network in there and the majority of that money is going to fund the transit operation and they are actually complete streets projects disguised not disguised as transit projects. prop b, the fiscal year 2015 general fund set aside we've

come up with 6 and a half million dollars supplemental appropriation. >> mr. maguire i'm sorry you are so tall i wonder if if you can pull the mic up closer we're having a hard time hearing you. >> >> better? >> that's a little bit better thank you. >> so we put together a package that will be coming through a supplement capital budget appropriation and asking the board to approve that appropriation and the table on the slide shows the breakdown including more traffic signals the red light camera program and some quick delivery some quick delivery projects in the walk first and bicycle program

areas. >> do you mind going into each of those line items into more detail and also what type of upgrades we need for red light cameras and if you could go a little bit into the school-related improvements too that would be great. >> currently we have a red light camera system that has provided some demonstrated safety benefits for the city but it's very outdated technology and we're going through a long plan to move toward the digital system and where we can frankly do this enforcement in a in a way that the quality of the photos we use and the accuracy of the information we get and frankly the turn around time that we give the customers or folks who are being cited by these red

light cameras is much better and it needed to happen for a long time and follow the paving is a coordinated effort by public works and mta where by our safety engineers are constantly working and whenever a street is scheduled for any kind of construction we're looking to see if there's opportunities for us to build pedestrian and safety scope into the scope of this repaving project and again, repaving is a great opportunity to cut open the street once and rebuild it as the kind of street we want to have in san francisco a complete street with better safety features and again that that million and a half will help us see some of the short-term opportunities and

the school related improvements -- i'd like to come back to you with a full answer i know these are high visibility crosswalks and i'd like to come back to you with a detail of everything that's in that line item. . >> thank you. supervisor yee. >> do you have a different budget for education or something? >> yes john knox white my colleague is going to come up. >> and the other important funding source i want to address is prop k the sales tax and a couple of opportunities for the ta to approve some prop k funding requests coming up and on march 24th we're going to ask you for a million dollars for a funding source for up to

45 locations on the pedestrian high injury network that were identified through the walk first phase one project and we're also going to ask you for a chunk of money to complete our bicycle strategy plan which will help us identify the safety needs of some of our high priority bicycle networks where we haven't been able to complete the design yet with the bike program funds we have and these are some real soon upcoming prop k funding requests. >> the 176 thousand doesn't seem like a very large dollar amount. >> right. >> i'm curious what that's actually going to cover. >> that's for planning and design and we'll be coming back once we complete that planning and design work with a request for more implementation money we're going to be doing over 11 miles of bike lane and

paths and this is setting the stage for the next couple of years. >> and this is enough to cover just the preplanning work for the next couple of years? >> right. this closes the gap in our funding. >> okay. supervisor mar. >> i'd really be interested beyond the planning kind of what funding there is for the broader bicycle strategy is for the city i know we have ambitious goals to increase the bicycle transit mode and i want to ask about the existing prop k projects related to vision zero are the mta and the dpw on pace to spend what they plan to spend on the existing projects funded by prop k? >> yes absolutely we're on

track to deliver those. >> okay. >> thank you. >> that's our budget update and we still have our policy and education updates i don't know if you want us to do those now? >> the next slide i have is the large vehicle program is that the next? okay so then i'm going to close this. >> i do have one more thing on item 3 the policy initiative. >> that is the next item so i'm going to close this item because that was a lot of information and i want to give the public an opportunity to comment on items 3 and 4 before we go to item number 5 the policy initiatives thank you mr. maguire. any comments or questions from committee members? seeing none we'll open up for comments from the public please just come up to the front and we have 2

minutes. >> thank you very much my name is roger basley i worked for many years with eric mar and supervisor yee and many others i wrote legislative packages and sent to the board of supervisors for the policy section i have a piece i'll submit and my primary role as a transportation design and safety specialist and having spent time on regional state and calped committees and other things to tweak and get improvements in the programs being done and funded through prop k and other funding mechanisms and the design and engineering and light regulation and now what's missing here if we go we go

to the main issue or the point of contact point of collision, the problem with visibility of pedestrians and motorists if we simply would legislate very simply and require from dawn to dusk to increase the visibility of bicyclists using commute er lanes and make sure they have working front reflect ors required under the code but it's amazing with reflect or vests and reflect or clothes what we can do i'll just demonstrate an example one of the best on the market i've ever seen it has a rear facing signal light and it has a flashing light with a very high visibility reflective green. when i did the school safety we

had the countdown signals -- i worked with triple a and those made a visibility for people using the facility and these are handed out at events and if a senior goes out for a walk at night just a simple thing like this will give any motorist and people a chance to see this and no money spent by the city we're talking about people having existing helmets and there's plenty of ways to hand those types of things out at events and you can go to japan town and pickup one of these for a dollar or $0.99 and it doesn't mess up my suit i'm on my bike and i go to my office and i'm ready for a meeting so
