11:06 am
expand get into that kind the district is important i'll be happy to expand provided evidence the other thing i'm happy to see progress in the experiment not only for vehicles with transit but in traffic calming more myself i've found traffic calming to be more effective in asking people to change their driving habit i trust we'll continue our dialog with the fire department to expand make things safer for pedestrians and that is welcome but nice package such. >> thank you supervisor yee. >> yes. a quick question on the first few items when you talk about leverage in purchasing the busses with the
11:07 am
$12 million leveraging the 33 and $78 million just a clarification we have not gotten the money if we prop k funding were not appropriated or - is it the other way around? the funders are saying you have to expand have a match >> a big part of the funding the federal funds require a 20 percent match. >> thank you very much. >> thank you and also want to expand thank the staff for the panel we'll be able to expand fined if he signaled sunset boulevard so thank you for that as well as signal listing a corner at sunset a huge thoroughfare for residents to expand enter into golden state park no other questions or

11:09 am
rebuild potrero and 6 hundred and 6 unit with 12 hundred residents converted over 16 hundred homes and retails all the residents will remain on site and up to expand 5 hundred additional affordable units as well as market rate housing the focus is really thinking about what to expand do in the in the meantime many deficiencies to bring the health benefits to the residents there before this major project comes through. >> it number of planning studies that preceded this not in exposing the conditions we were looking at the finding the first were walkability and pet safety as you can see the streets are wide much wider than the traffic warrant and the sidewalks are
11:10 am
narrow they've disappeared many of the intersections don't have crosswalks for people needing to expand get across the street the ada assessable and because of the low volumes they've not necessarily at the top of the zero list it is cleaver there are safety issues as you can see a car lots of control of its brakes and went off a cliff everybody was okay. but the study was clear that something needs to be done as quickly as possible by the second set of challenges around security and riding the school bus you'll hear from the community members here today that has helped people get to expand daniel webster and start the elementary and walking on some of the streets and goes a hidden the
11:11 am
potrero hill walking area and both in the morning for the school children when other people use the cut through another finding the lack of transit stop amenity because of the narrow sidewalks there isn't space to build shelters but the sidewalks are marked by the paint and there is very little marking and again, i that a lot of the theory that will be incorporated into the long term projects but the focus what can be done in the meantime that makes 10 years for different parts of site and another key thing is transit route that serve the sites the the course of this trial e p moving forward
11:12 am
has helped to expand expand the service and increase the frequency and the long term project audio tape missouri street, however challenges getting across the site for the amenities to expand the mission district like the general hospital and part find that is caused by the discontinuation of the court there were a lot of tafdz take into account and bus service was removed how are there other ways to expand supplement and muni has worked on the 10 and other ways to expand supplement that service so the project promoted a couple of concepts the first the pedestrian lighting project on the backside of the potrero hill
11:13 am
that will disconnect it along the path for the children cutting through and the walking school bus and to expand preserve the staircase when implemented as part of the long-range project the next set of improvements are exciting their traffic calming and traffic signal nanlts they take intersections like this one here 25th and dakota is north intersection that's not well defined and using not infrastructure materials but sort of close off the intersection so for a shorter crossing and beautification like transit amenities so if you look here's a slightly better view use the materials such a man harvey rose holes that go into the ground with sewer work and boulders and
11:14 am
planter that can go on this this is a visualization of it in the future the created space for the bus shelter one of the standard muni shelters what is exciting using the infrastructure treatment that is something successful can be replicated throughout the city so putting in other transit things done more quickly at a lower cost another set of visualizations and this is trying and connecticut street another intersection that again will use the temporary transit mold as you can see this is one of the fun things to expand work with the community on the design and the elementary is a mandarin school this is a preschooler
11:15 am
preschool brown have a chinese new year sort of thing to expand do some the detailed designs that again da can be themed by intersections 5 intersection in total final concept that was explored the community shuttle this is again to expand help to expand supplement the service to get people across the site forward scombrt and bart to expand amenity people want to expand get to expand we looked at route and expand of service and come up with the cost the identification of the funding services and there's a hard place for the dollars to expand come by we look at private services in terms of how to expand supplement that. >> and this is a picture i want to expand speak if a personal note this was a rewarding project to expand work on a
11:16 am
great community partner the landscape architect we worked with bridge housing the partner that was meeting the rebuild project and got great compute people are happy to see the intersection movements memento improvement the planning department through the parks to expand prachlt program you'll see prop k we've fully funded the project through the lifetime transportation to expand supplement or to expand make up the majority of that funding plan that is the kind of thing that can be implemented it is early 2016 and the advantage of using the low cost improvements that don't need a catch by an and the park is on the funding
11:17 am
cycle with the impact fees so part of rec and park they have the funding so that project will also moderate and hopefully implemented in 2016 and the bridge housing and communicated will refine that prompt and seek out fund with that i'll be happy to answer any questions i know there are a couple of people here from the community that want to speak and representatives from mta. >> thank you supervisor christensen. >> i just wanted to say i not my district but i worked very near that site and walked frequently in the area and have a small comment i notice when i sgribd this area typography is mercy housing i see it is difficult for people no familiar with the area to expand
11:18 am
understand the role that the extreme tape grateful plays in transit and the paths that people go on the other question about long term maintenance of this i know for example castro street a similar kind of project paint was used as a high visibility location i know we've struggled for example discovering the day from a press conference the power washing effects the pavement in the community engages in long term participation in keeping this in good order obviously this can be wonderful or terrible depending on how it's cared for . >> it is a good question making sure we have the mroibz fund for those those great improvements one the prerestricts to expand enter the pavement to expand
11:19 am
parks you have a dedicated funding stream so bridge housing has a contract with the parks alliance they run the parks program they'll extend that contract to expand make sure there is regular evens maintenance and picking up trash that's a key piece one of the things that is sited as the rebuild potrero hill project comes through those can be put in different areas not only cycle the pieces that can be used in part of city and i want to expand compliment that wonderful plan improvements to the neighborhood i'll be interested in the shuttle that's an idea i've been common core to expand create better assess points to expand certain transportation hubs for our neighborhood so thank you for all your work on this and given
