vehicle for hire is a motor vehicle will not capitalize taxicab any limousine or motor propelled whether under the city and county of san francisco when i read that that means you can include ride share and the definition of motor vehicle so the impact on this category if any. >> my understanding that's not a redirection you can find that in the police code if i go back to the police code i have to go back to check to be one hundred percent but 95 percent the language is the same in the police code so the same definition so although the landscape is changing a lot of the issues have been defined prior.

>> okay. >> so does that make sense. >> yeah. an amendment with a distinction with an amendment. >> yeah. bringing it into our code the transportation code. >> of but anything in those amendments beyond the description of being renertd impacts the other vehicles so for hire. >> only the address the commission up to three minutes. enumerated like the woo bill that being a misdemeanor that would impact a transportation network company vehicle or an attorney-client or a pc p limb 90 month so that impacts whether or not they did a hail. >> all our clarifying noting none of them are street hails. >> that's correct. >> thank you very much for that

that's a whole larger question as far as this legislation is concerned deputy director torrance is correct the hang up was over the ability of drivers and the public to go to the board of appeals to appeal decisions ride sharing individual permits and the issuance of new permits and after a couple of lawsuits and the resolution of those lawsuits we do have an agreement with the mta that in terms of any individual appeals appeals by individual on permit issues that they would retain the right to continue to go to the board of appeals a public process before any of that was changed we've also retained this right to bring those issues up in future

litigations if necessary so one way or another the appeals of the issuance of new permits will be covered by that so that is something would be eliminated by those changes i have one small bone to pick this is in the section about taximeters inaccurate technique meters can routine in a criminal penalty the word knowingly should be inserted somewhere in that section. >> thank you thank you is there any public comment on item one okay seeing none item number one public comment is closed supervisor wiener any last comments. >> nomadic thank you to the

and educating people enforcing the law not to see a continuing escalation of the collisions and death and the last thing we need more it to get worse we want to be aggressive and moving forward so vision zero moving forward i know this board is supportive supervisor kim and chair committee on the transportation authority thank you to her office for the work we want to make sure mr. sharp that the work around vision zero is moving forward in a good way and we're exercising the necessary oversight and fall out we'll be hearing from the mta particularly are hallway it is insuring efficient and effective project delivery and there's

been challenges in getting projects delivery and in an extinguish way the agency is working to improve the process to have safer and safer streets i want to note that the delegation in san francisco tomorrow for the national highway safety and the national safety to look at how san francisco is christopher prongs we look forward to that visit so tom maguire from the sfmta will be presenting to mr. maguire. >> okay. good afternoon. >> supervisors and thanks for having us here to talk about the important topic of how we

deliver the street projects for vision zero it is good to see so many of you out last thursday at walk to work and how important to make that city as save as possible for the citizens supervisor yee said it is a right not a privilege and i think it is great work for today's discussion i'm going to turn it over to you've been following our progress vision zero is about geothat right to save streets by end death by 2024 we're focusing our efforts on the e education, enforcement, and engineering so we finding on the project delivery side this is the part that says he know what we want to do a program of improvement can we have the fund support how do we get those this the street

the first topic i want to talk about what the information the importance of coordinating to make sure our projects are done as effectively has possible this is a conflict city it the complex so having the projects funded is enough i suggest we deliver the engineering it requires good coordination it is true on van ness and polk street i think that polk street a good example where we pubically have a group by cooperation in reaching coincidence and public acceptance for the measures we're going forward with on polk street we did a good job of making sure that the public

works repaving the puc's sewer replacement project and the traffic bicycle and pedestrian are being managed and will be delivered and coordinated as a single package we'll ripping up polk street we will have a safer street that meets all the goals in the 21st century polk street will be a construction project when the capital construction starts next month we're not witting to deliver short time safety that we know we need on polk street if you've been out on the street in the last couple of streets we've painted bike

and bulb outs this is the challenge we'll talk about a few moments ago what it means to coordinate it what it looks like from within mta and the other agencies so mta we're trying to manage a number of high priority programs vision zero with the high coordinator map and the build out of the bicycle plans all the programs in fact, the same streets it is important that when we touch a street we making all the improvements that we have programmed to meet all our priorities for that street before we go down the path to engineering and design we're requesting all the project managers communicate with one another he'd the scope of their

projects not just the specific priorities they're there to implement liquor the bicycle planners are not just checking their project but all the transportation priorities are reflected in their scope in the project is on the high network matt haney if it's a project targeted for action by vision zero regardless of whether the project is initially funded through our vision zero funding resources we have a required coordination process to make sure when that projecting progress all the pedestrian and traffic safety scope has a safety into the project that is beyond 2014 project. >> can i interrupt sort of following up on what you mentioned in terms of internal

process can you be more specific how your insuring we don't have those details and bottle necks you and i have talked talked about those project like the diamond project that has dragged on and i know you're doing a lot of work to address the process issues we appreciate but can you talk about specifically how the mta really going to be improving the process. >> sure yeah. i think there is probably two areas that are important here number one getting the scope right the first time and that's the best use of time up front to the stakeholder and the mta and our partners like public works and puc are at the table we're noted pleading with incomplete design

so have to go back to square one so we need to get the scope and design right at the table and as the project evolves through the design and the implementation process we have a special schedule with w with public works we meet bicycle with public works at the staffing level to do a deep dive and trouble shot all the vision zero projects that's the first 24 projects on track and have a management level with the public works and caltrain quarterly we meet with to get we're actually are we following a critical path. >> in terms of who is actually physically delivering the projects i know for a long time

it was pretty common for mta to do the design and approval and handicap it off to dph to deliver i know for example work and diamond mta decided to deliver that and not involve mta at all and the agency relented and allowed them to help to deliver part of the projects you you know and i'll as i've mentioned to you the castro street project is dramatically bigger and complicated and more difficult project was delivered more quickly than the diamond project just curious what the agency intentions are in terms of 6 who is physically going to be delivering the projects. >> our intention we'll deliver the vision zero projects through

a mixed of public works when you think about vision zero and muni moving forward with the plan our on street capital program is growing it is much bigger than a couple of years ago we want to deliver that. >> i've seen examples the mta has done a good job of delivering some of the projects not exactly vision zero but pedestrian projects in a more efficient manner so there are more positive examples you, you see in terms of internally with mta for those projects are mta they'll deliver them do you see improvements happening in terms of how the agency goes about doing that. >> maybe this is a good time to talk about how we're investing in the people t
