8:00 am
so, now that is probably my favorite slide this is the preliminary collision factors broken by station the unsafe speed is 49 or 45 percent. >> 43. >> and pedestrian right-of-way collision two and red light anothers 15, unsafe turning 14 that's all turns not just left turns that's the failure to yield on the turn section you can make a right turn with the same errors and unsafe backing out i had that happen on the way here you see only one district has stop signs bayview is number 4 it doesn't fall in the data anywhere else questions?
8:01 am
so we've had this conversation is aligns with the 5 on the data that mta data from 2012 that was bans the twitter status >> twitter. >> that's what we are looking to face are the preliminary collision factors are mostly the same. >> it came up at the hearing in january of 2014 there were more stop signs more types of enforcement but helpful to understand. >> those are the collision factors the citations. >> right. >> those are the crashes that happened we've termed what caused the crash. >> so going back to bayview stop signs telling me more about this factor why it is unique to bayview. >> that's the sheer numbers the
8:02 am
analysis are broken down the the vehicle section and within the stop signs with respect the 4 primary i don't was is a failure to at a four-way stop. >> it come up with reference to stop signs in the tenderloin not a lot of stop signs violations one stein in the same place but in bayview it is prominently controlled by stop signs stop signs but i had the data broken down i minimal this data is helpful to the captain at bayview to understand this is a at the scene violations to do
8:03 am
data that's the idea. >> and the analog helps us to identify the top intersection in the districts it paint a good picture. >> okay. sounds like driven policing. >> that slide is about the collision fatalities are down 56 percent year to data and severe injures up one percent and complaint of update bless you. >> we're up to i think 8 now and 11 at that point last year i like about what i derive from the data are we're down open pedestrian collisions and bike
8:04 am
collisions those will have to do with motorcycle or car your the captain and i are here to answer any questions. >> thank you, captain i should have recognized you other questions sorry commissioner turman. >> just a couple of quick questions thank you by the way, commander it was very thorough i'd like to hear about the block the box to highlight people listening at home could you talk about how it operation works and what is the effectiveness. >> it was rocketed the traffic was not flowing in the downtown quarters up to the bay bridge in december we got together and came up with a plan that our
8:05 am
parks and beaches unit will take the area around city hall and block the box and make sure the directions r are clear and the traffic officers company k will take the area around brilliant street along supplementing with the dp t parking tithe on the end and parking tickets on the upper end all the higher intersections and second and it is no shortage of violations the idea to keep the intersection clear you can't pull into the intersection without a clear view. >> the parking street supervisor yee has embraced it seems like an excellent idea to have the awareness on traffic rules with younger people get
8:06 am
them involved and hopefully stays with them to the point that they become drivers is there any effort to work with the unified school district to roll out the greater numbers it seems like a great program. >> it was a triple organization program you wouldn't or 70 years their activity in the city and supervisor yee wanted to bring it to more schools and he has and more schools are getting on board as well we're involved in supervisor yee components and triple a has a flushing program we're not involved with their program we come out and train with them. >> we help train the children at the request of supervisor yee to facilitate 3 schools under his program and several more online with the school district they
8:07 am
would like to train the triple a program has 9 kwlz schools a mixture of particular colonel schools and supervisor yee is focusing on unified school district and elementary schools specifically thank you virtual captain a point out point of clarification not that we like by charts commissioners and i like by anyone at home that is present to bring by. >> that was totally any joke (laughter). >> anti arraigns colleagues anything further off i'm sorry commissioner mazzucco. >> can you explain the relationship with mta and the department of parking and traffic i see your traffic is
8:08 am
pour gridlock in downtown speeding is not a factor there is so many destruction sites and block the entire intersection and who can issue those citations because pedestrians is really walking across one or two serious issues including strait enclosures can what do we do in conjunction with them. >> staplingly was at the hearing and presented their data over 3 thousand as well so they issue a parking ticket when you pull into the box question issue a moving violation they are only to issue parking type ticket we issue the pedestrian type of ticket and the game even though.
8:09 am
>> how about they move the traffic through to prevent the traffic and protect the public safety. >> i'll discuss it again dp t is a separate entity they used to be under the mta commander but they created their own division now and i - >> people think it is still under the police department so that's why i asked for tonight. >> i have seen them another intersections directing traffic at 8 and bryant before we kicked off the block the box so maybe it is effective and transmission i'll find out. >> chief suhr i want to go back to the blocking the box campaign it was created a lot of safety issues so frustrated drivers were hedging the lights and pedestrian were regularly as the
8:10 am
command stoking spoke they'll don't block the box the causation or drivers pull around it was get to be to the point it was a big safety issue not to mention it blocked situations in other directions it was all bad so by keeping the boxes clear and facilitating traffic the frustration experienced by a lot of people trying to negotiate in the early morning and the closer you get to the bridge is slowed down since this campaign. >> anything else for the chevy chief e.r. the commander. >> i see walk sf and the coalition is here we'll be remiss saying we couldn't get by without them there are our
8:11 am
biggest critics but our most constructive biggest critics and tomorrow we'll be biking to work. >> i just wonder in our colleagues wanted to share anything i wanted to from walk sf the bicycle coalition. >> thank you commander maddox following ali the transition was well done i can speak on behalf of the people that can't speak for themselves but keeping this focused and the data together is a smooth transition you got yourselves to speed so thank you and i don't know if there is anything from the constructive critics among us (laughter) thank you that is frisbee from
8:12 am
the bicycle coalition. >> thank you and happy bike to work everyone chief thank you and i do want to start by saying and hope not to be the biggest critic but the biggest chore leader in the past few months from the bicycle coalition some wonderful support address enforcement around people driving in the bike lands on the street and appreciate those safety concerns not only have we noticed it but poem across san francisco noticed it my in box gets covered with photos of police officers and combinations of other things you saw a thorough presentation from the members we appreciate it and take a moment for the commission thank you for having us as an
8:13 am
agenda item and commissioner president loftus for your leadership but having this conversation is a critical part of the commitment to vision zero and thank you. we appreciate that in the data it's been a mixed bag we've made process in easier that are important we have a ways to go i know that unlike has a couple of thoughts and had wonderful conversations with the captains and has ideas i want to say our job is to help continue to support the police department and they've tried to reach their goals of 50 percent of citations traffic citations related to the folks we support the focus and look at the individual collision using uses u causes our station it makes that relevant and look forward to continuing to support our work i know the other thing that
8:14 am
commander maddox t is working on fewer fatalities but actually more severe injuries bans our records and the sharing the collision report that the mta after those collisions happen i know there are state laws it is critical that lets them come in and make safety corrections so look forward to working with you and very much appreciated our support commissioner president loftus and chief suhr and commander maddox and others thank you. >> thank you from walk sf welcome. >> thank you for remembered my new name and you got married in
8:15 am
land use thank you commissioners for having us and chief suhr and commander maddox and others i think from the numbers we can tell that traffic enforcement has been more of a priority for the police department and that alone is important and really has been a sign of our commitment and around the leadership you've been pushing this is a provided for the department and making sure that everyone uses the turns and anyone that doesn't chief suhr will catch them i appreciate and speaking of mroigsdz i collisions the traffic crashes are prospectiveable they're not mere accidents we can prevent them through culture change in
8:16 am
making sure we are working across every single angle to prevent the crashes you guys placing play an important roll making sure people know enforcement is happening and that's why where the focus on the 5 comes in i guess the major i know i want to highlight tonight awhile we've seep the crashes i'm sorry like the citations got up 50 percent the focus on the 5 citations went up one percent so we've talk about this for over a year and now i think that is time to ged's how we tackle that we've spent time developing a video our staff with the other staff does roll call training with all the police station one thing that happened recently, i statd sat down with the tenderloin station with the dph they're bringing
8:17 am
data and they and we saw the 80 percent spike that was heart warning the captain started to said what you were talking about when we meant focus on the 5 and traffic safety not just about any you kind of traffic citation i'm sorry that all the memos you guys have how to have the one-on-one conversations donna i don't have the time but i will do that if it is what it takes i like to see the one-on-one with the captain and sound like there are monthly operations and maybe monthly reports on how your delivering whater the plans in their not achieving that 50 percent goal at the end of that most and encouraging this is something we've talked about sharing those operation plans with the public and making that
8:18 am
transparent so we can see you know if they're planning for the folks on the side and delivering on it but if we don't see the operation plans we don't know where the folks on the sides proprietor and holdings them accountable we're seeing the meeting because of that those operation plans are being developed i think you know, i just want to highlight yesterday's tragic dedicate and my personal condolences to the family that suffered really, really devastating loss and to the police station or police department that was and the firefighters and every parent in san francisco to think about you
8:19 am
know how our traffic impacts our daily lives and just a reminder that the stiff stuff we are doing here is really important and anytime i walk into the room i start a confidence how many people raise their hands if you've been involved or knows someone that was involved in a traffic crash i say 75 percent of the people in the room raise their hands these are unavoidable things we're working every angle you're a critical part of that as we move forward into the next year walk sf and the bike coalition we're asking for a app to make the citation reports series easier to police officers don't have to have handwritten citations and where the citations are happening
8:20 am
that's been a major you know level of certainly something we're interested in we haven't been able to have a handwritten citation report last year, we supported the department of public health request for an epidemiologist that tracks the data as you guys are getting this data that epidemiologist exists and helps the traffic company analyze that data they'll brink in san francisco general data for gaps and citation reports so all of this really helps to kind of fill out out the picture of what our streets look like. >> thank you nicole and all our stiffer and holding us accountable we'll be back in the
