construction that requires small business small business that the agency tasked with this job to work with the contractors and make sure that all the businesses have their needs met and finally the economically review part to see how it's impacted the street positively or in the case those are the kinds of things we've discussed in our meeting you'll see this issue about construction and how it effects local businesses come up in a number of motions kind of the mantra yes, we like this project but what happened when the project starts our next motion is concerning elevating patrol and ticketing for cell phone use operating a moving vehicle including cars and bicycles in little enforcement
12:18 pm
section of vision zero i'm not sure this is been moved forward we we recommend it be part of the statistics collected next this concerns van ness avenue and the plan to eliminate a number of left turn lanes during and after construction motion reads as follow whereas the sfmta has already decided to remove all but two left turn lanes and whereas the sfmta has on modeled the impacts of this decision on traffic but has not conducted an actual survey by actually closings the lanes thereof we recommend you close those lanes accordingly to our models that will work but
12:19 pm
sometimes models are not accurate enough to really get the prediction right and that way you'll have a test and figure out what to do when trouble it's not that that will but perfectly suited to the conditions finally this concerns the van ness brt project cac recommendations staff work with existing businesses along van ness avenue to mitigate the facts of theirprogram and all those things about how construction effects the businesses on the street our play into this one as well questions >> director ramos. >> i appreciate the concern
12:20 pm
around small businesses during construction that is something that agency is set up for supporting the businesses and as we've seen with the central subway the thing i have a concern around the support for businesses after constructions and recognizing the limitation that some of us or some funding i should say we have with respect with the money we have to for example a lot of funding for the brt projects from mined is from the fta and that pounding it restricted with with respect to how it can be used and challenging to use funds for transportation dollars for economic development after a project has been implemented and so i'll encourage our committee
12:21 pm
to really conducted a rigorous explanation of funding sources for supporting those businesses after the prestigious are implemented it is a noble endeavor there you are concern colors of money so to speak concern dollars for certain things i understand the money for the brt project can't be used for projects after it has been implement if i can make that request. >> we don't have staff unfortunately but certainly we're looking at that my understanding of the long term economic issues is whether or not the construction has changed the situation on the street and in a negative way instead of a positive way because of changes that were made for
12:22 pm
example, eliminating parking spaces or doing other things that don't seem to be working on the street is it so my understanding that is the important part of it not to take over an oewd function of the success of that street but that if the agency and the design that was executed and built has missed something somewhere a way to correct the mistakes i'm not sure you've got money for that but that's the prime thing nobody expects you to be primarily responsible for the development in the neighborhood i would think i'll bring that message back to the cac. >> the motion we're on the on the same page especially a clarifying our last meeting
12:23 pm
we're definitely working together on that one. >> we're on the record we're saying an environmental impact report looking at the things and the refinement of the issues that will take under advisement the issues are not necessarily financial issues but the busses and bus stations to do advertise for example for the businesses and things like that it is not always around money but the enforcement once the improvement are in people parking too long at meter but the point the economic impact what the issues should be specific to the role our agencies plays with what we have not as mr. weaver said not the economic development arm for the neighborhood we don't have the ability that is fair, i
12:24 pm
think that the key with the studies will be looked at short term and long-term obviously when traffic patterns in the beginning upcoming people evaluated for patterns during construction and reevaluate digging out the reiterations and looking at things to tell and looking at what types of things to be murder and the issue of our job enforcement and generally the assets. >> thank you, again, for all the fine work and the recommendations that come out of the advisory committee. >> mr. chairman you'll asked 33 me to call 11 to increase the airport for taxicab trips for sfo from two to $4 and item 12 authorized the director to have
