>> okay. thank you. >> so in conclusion supervisors the question where do we go from here we concluded that the economic strategy is 7 continue action areas as ted mentioned this is exactly what you're asking about clearly ted showed open the slide that showed you disproportionately costs driven by high housing costs that is important we focus on the thirty thousand unit of affordable housing and thirty percent of affordable housing down payment assistance and range of things you supervisors are familiar with are critical in insuring the city's economy remains

competitive we want to make sure the recipe have pathways to job mobility and job investment being able to have a job as the mayor likes to say one of the key things to the have and have nots and to make sure that people under bloid or wish they made more money to have greater job opportunities as well we need to streamline the business permitting process this committee has been incredibly supportive of the business protocol we are doing that now continuing the streamline that for our small businesses as ted mention the rising reilly's costs in addition to the lack of space in the city we need to continue to retain the businesses to work and grow in

san francisco with our pdr methods and the transportation businesses our targeting around the nonprofit sector and our effort to support sort the small businesses through the small business commission we need to accommodate new jobs and businesses particularly over the long term in the central selma and waterfront we need to insure we're supporting the local industry with the corridors as well as the pdr sectors so that's again 5 more pdr plan and the investment in the neighborhood on transportation and infrastructure obviously it the critical the economy relies on the transportation network we need that to be competitive finally 4 conclusion in the last economic strategies we need to continue to invest in the pdr sector and continue to upgrade

our tourism and retain large companies in san francisco we've seep that there is a big change since 2007 and continue to support startups one more point supervisors that economic strategy was not designed how to address those all those challenges but designed to look at the transformation 80 transportation to workforce development fits into the timeframe for you supervisors particularly as the budget season come up and evaluate those important issues. >> thank you very much supervisor mar. >> thank you, gentlemen and laurel as well for the presentation i wanted to ask one framing question in 2007 we had one masking inequality

population and like business ownership of that number 3 the inequality metrics do we know how we dealt what inequality because my sense as we read in the national press the rapidly growing and the push out it seemed of a lower income population but a middle-income population are we looking at 2004 and 2007 as inequality and inclusion and equality as a key goal for our economic stream. >> thank you i'd like invite ted egging on up to address how we look at how we're addressing the inequality the first is insuring that we're driving down

costs so for the residents and businesses so the development of affordable housing and giving people access to reasonably priced spaces and businesses insures we're able to keep people here and that there's able to be successful to continue to live here and the second element the ability to give people the ability to earn more money it is a key for education to earn higher wages and advances more and more to be able to address that i'm invite ted to speak on the actual data. >> supervisors in the 2007 report we did look at entities of income and equality i recall that san francisco has the highest inequality manufacture with the cities we compared it to identify the rerun it but

look at the san francisco with the largest cities in the united states it is increasing even faster i believe it is maybe ranging thirty in the top one hundred among the 10 or 15 faster income levels with the last two or three years i don't know but income and equality for loans i've tracked it that problem has not gone away. >> i have another point i know that our former school president of the school board was in the chambers i'm pleased on the oewd pathway and the work with the school district but one thing was not mentioned or mention the city college for displaced workers to retrain but for the young people to have the skills

hard and soft skills to find the jobs in the various experience and knowledge and thanking our sector that are growing it's a big concern concern our local industry is dloin and the middle-income jobs are decreasing with the governments how to look at low wage workers to pull them up. >> construction and other industries are critical i know it is mentions in here that construction jobs are local but my understanding a lot of unions many of the jobs are regional and not people that live in the city i'm wondering about that sector we consider it local but maybe outside of the city. >> by local we only maple that the companies serve customers in

san francisco and we show you statistics the job industry that is resulting from work that takes place within the city. >> i know efforts like our local hire is important for the san francisco workforce and what's the significance of city college because i know you mentioned ufls by the way, by the way, whatever the support for pathway and listing the middle wage incomeers. >> there are career training and having the local partner skills for people like i mentioned mobility and the packet to increase the earning potential they've been critical partners in our skills and

building construction stay an construction we talked about on that board and the city is implementing the hire ordinance that addresses that issue you've mentioned supervisor the construction jobs that are being created are going to san franciscans and marrying that we're not just having a mandate but insuring the local workforce is trained and rode to work with the skills at the job site so to partnership with the city college and other partners is up. >> colleagues, any further questions. >> okay. thank you again for your work and looking forward to discussions. >> thank you, supervisor. >> at this time open up for public comment any public comment on item 2 all right. seeing none, public comment is closed colleagues thanks for

sitting through that i thought that was important we launch into budget city with our unemployment rate and thanks to oewd can i have a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> a motion chan madam clerk, any other business before this committee? >> no, mr. chair. >> okay thanks everybody we are (clapping.) >> good morning, everyone.

i want to thank you all for coming out this morning it's a beautiful san francisco morning as it seems to be those dazed but a difficult morning as yesterday yesterday morning an 87-year-old resident of sunset resident named alfred was walk on this street geary that boulevard in a krouks on 26 oath trying to cross the road when struck by an automatic turning left onto endearing later in the afternoon died another san francisco general hospital this is not yet conformed we ronald reagan are hearing that someone driving a motorcycle on 15th was struck and killed by an automobile i

want to express you know on my behalf and everyone here our profound condolences to the family and friends and anybody that i know either of the individuals are who is impacted by the loss it is tragic that those people are losing their lives on our streets this is a franklin we're restore here the city adopted a goal a policy to eliminate traffic deaths in san francisco and while we're not here to mourn their loss we certainly want to honor them and again offer our dlops we're here to reinforce the notation this is is not accidents i want to ass ask us to eliminate accidents when we talk about traffic collisions in the street

the word accidents suggests inability accidents happy but we've we've done by adopting vision zero we don't accept that the inability of people getting killed and sierra injured in our streets not something we're any longer than accepting and it is something that modern we're telegraph hill working together under the leadership of our mayor within the city but the greater san francisco community to make sure we eliminate traffic fatalities in san francisco by 20024 there's a number of physical improvements that are going into the streets we've already gotten 12 of the 24 so-called vision zero projects in the ground and here

today to talk about improvements on gere and fulton ironically the two streets people lost their lives in the last two hours makes this real and impervious we're making the improvements and also importing the laws we're joined by the san francisco police department to step up to make sure that when people are traveling around san francisco no matter how are you how are you how their traveling adhere to the laws and it is about education outreach we look to the media to help us get out achievement of vision zero everything has a responsibility anytime you step off a sidewalk go go that in but you automobile or walk that your traveling and aware of our surrounding so we

will continue to doing the right thing to make the city save we need everything to do their part so we don't have to start press conferences in the future with press conferences like this we're doing a lot with the leadership from city hall the board of supervisors adopted vision zero policy and mayor ed lee has directed all the departments and exclusive branch of government to accelerate do everything we can to make our streets safer please welcome our mayor, mayor ed lee. >> thank you, ed (clapping.) let me add that as we take a moment ponder the circumstances of which those fatalities happen we are working very hard to make sure that there is less of this and today, we're in district one

with commissioner eric mar who also joined strongly the effort to put their concrete work into vision zero to make that happen today, we wanted to demonstrate as part find an education and awareness campaign those strooirpz we called them san bernardino are a striping on the swauktsz that have in the past obey retired around schools and mid street kroger's are now going to be more dominant in our intersections beginning on geary street those are important one there are and do in fact slow down traffic and make people more aware but also what ed reiskin and others have been saying in our street safety advocates we've got to make people more aware if we can make

sure that ice are the first and not other distractions that the eyes see the crosswalks and people in the crosswalk using that it will penetrate people in vehicles to slow down and respect the people that are using the sidewalks and streets and the warns turns into a higher level of safety on the streets this is exactly what we're trying to side here you'll see the departments working i'm going to take physical action and laying down the stripes myself but more of this is going to happen because we as a city agreed we're going to put serious resources into these our vision zero so that it is not just a a pronouncement we make those things happen on as many street corners as possible this is a relatively easier treatment

to do but a higher awareness comes boo about it as we work on the compacted streets and intersections that require xylophones and a lot of other agencies to be involved in safety of those intersections and streets reich like we have probably a half block away on a very, very business intersects at the same time in in addition to the so-called descend are a striping we'll be taking a look at with our police department and our mta and public defender's office and others on the streets what streets in our city that we have direct jurisdiction where we can slow down traffic on an official basis even a 5 mile reduction in the speed allows nor awareness and more care to occur on those streets and so we have named

some of the streets that will slow down the speed on and we've already done so on sunset and some of the streets we to name more streets that has your signage and office those as well as our officers we want to insure the public we're working to redesign other streets completed streets and make sure that we present safety to be the preit is not necessary policy to be rkd in those streets but also you'll see me and the supervisors and ed reiskin as well as others making periodic announcements to keep visibility on this serious topic of that he had public safety bicycle safety and driving safety to make sure that awareness is at its highest level and to make sure that

violators it will be consequences and our officers are out here today sometimes, we might feel we cannot solve every if at any point we can keep a vigilant and dedicated effort to continue to educate and making those changes so this leads to a higher level of safety not about being help also but more action in lives lost that were going to take an opportunity to come even more concerted effort we need to make to prevent those things from happening we have busy streets it in san francisco that's a indication of our economy but make sure that is complimented with a higher level of awareness for safety for everybody thank you for being

here commissioner eric mar. >> (clapping.) thank you complair and director reiskin on the yes, ma'am of the responding district i'm going to put my notes aside i'm anger and inside mr. alfred 87-year-old mr. alfred yee on gary and 26th avenue outside of a senior center in 2011 a woman an geary we campground a 3 and 4-year-old open fulsome modify who was killed on 25 letting avenue in fulsome we've known about this for years how long will it take to take rapid action on vision zero so as director reiskin they're not accidents they're killing basically we have to

work on education engineering and enforcement i'm proud our r0r7bd station is here they are the one station that took a hard look at vision zero i want to thank the hard working men and women at the richmond station i'm raifr from the robert district i learned about that or this so my comments are from my heart three or four supervisors from the time after sophies death in the new year's time over a years ago we're looking at new york city and other cities with the bicycle coalition and walk sf and our community coalition we've been advocating for this i'm glad it tom maguire with our sustainable streets is here my hope was we

painted stripes that are important csa as we think about high injury corridors like geary and others we're looking at other practices and putting our money where and mouth is the culture of feeding in san francisco our community coalition office says the culture meeting meeting in san francisco not only pedestrians but bicyclists and other drivers at risk there are too many tragedies not only mr. alfred lee and others in the richmond district throughout the city the two children i mentioned the told her a two combrrldz hit in the outdoor richmond on fulsome we move to lower the speed limit i hope that our city like portland and seattle have safe

routes to schools i'm hoping san francisco iowa's what put our money where our mouth is and making the streets safe is a responsibility as the mayor said for all of us but the walk sf and the pedestrian advocates have been working on this for many decades we have to listen the coalitions the traffic lights like the new ones planned for 22nd and geary and 26th and geary like the ones near the senior centers i hope to implement that around other vulnerable areas i as geary rapid transit moves forwarded how to implement the vision zero

longer than geary boulevard i as a superintendant for the richmond i urge the mayor and director reiskin to move as quickly as possible to prevent the death in the corridors reducing the slightly and thirty mile-per-hour in many ways is not that much of a reduction but as asz our distributing that slowing down saves lives we'll see that on fulsome we need more help i want to say that the vision zero committee the board of supervisors are meeting i'm going to do my best to look at it becomes by the sfmta to move as rapidly not only in the richmond but citywide i know that safety should be first as the mar said i'm here to say for the richmond district after the

two tragedy deaths i'll do everything i can to prevent death for the future thank you very much for being here. >> thank you supervisor mar mar i'll say did supervisor has been one of the be strornth advocates longer than fulsome and geary but we are i will assure you working with the partners in the city to make sure that the transit improvements only geary boulevard is fully incorporating you'll see best practices in terms of the public safety at the transit liability and itself public safety at the same time, we're looking at ways such as the crosswalks or anything we can do while we're designing the 0 project we're not waiting for the big projects we're putting in krouksz open geary i want to

thank the mayor for his leadership in pulling the agencies together and engaging with the community and the advocates with the victims of the families to make sure that we're getting this work down as quickly as possible. >> we're going to i'm going to ask the mayor and the supervisor to help us lay the paint on the final crosswalk dozens along geary i want to recognize the director of sustainable streets and the liveable streets director who does the design and george who hearsay a field operation with the 0ur9 city to put the paint strips on the ground thank you, everyone for coming out i'm going to ask the mayor to help initiative that painting of the crosswalks.
