5:30 am
after about of enforcement but perhaps it doesn't work so well two or three weeks after enforcement, do you want to talk about what we plan to do enforcement-wise going forward? >> sure, so immediately after implementation, with we go out in a partnership between the pco's and the sfpd to provide some on the spot enforcement that would extend for about two weeks after the implementation is complete. these intersection ares unique because particularly third fourth fifth these intersection are controlled by pco's from anywhere from 4-10 hours a day, there are pco's performing normal traffic control duties who will have the secondary effects of breaking the rule that is we posted so they're unique compared to 10 street in that sense. the other thing i want to emphasize the way we designed the streets and stripe ted
5:31 am
lanes ask orienting drivers the way they're approaching the intersections, to carve out space in the roadbed and to prevent vehicles from turning through those pedestrians, all those will be more self-enforcing from the previous generations of turn restrictions and traffic restrictions we've done, so it's a combination of self-enforcing design and a high presence of pco's because of where we are in the city. >> i don't have any other questions i'm in full support of this and i appreciate hitting on the safety aspect of this and i think this really is an elegant and i would say simple but i imagine it wasn't simple for you doing this work, a simple way to do some pedestrian safety improvements. >> any thoughts? >> of course, tons, vice chairman got the enforcement questions i appreciate the
5:32 am
hard work that went into this i'm excite today support this and kited to support it without any changes in the proposal in terms of any further exemptions. >> thank you for your work, obviously the better market street plan in general is a larger ongoing plan that we've had for market vaoet and the safer market street plan that you puteder fwa*rd is a step forward, the acknowledged number of car related, private car related incidents along market street and the sheer volume of tnc's particularly that we know of even if it's only 11 thousand or it's 20 thousand would not significantly reduce the congestion on malinger street so it would not get do the problem of what we're try dog do, which is to increase transit reliability and increase pedestrian safety as well as bicyclist safety so i think it's critical not to mention if you made any mentions, it would make it difficult for enforcement because how could you distinguish between vehicles and i think the balance you struck is very important especially during these stands along market street.
5:33 am
the majority of market vaoet is pretty flat between its adjacent street sos if people have to be dropped off at other streets, they can clearly walk the extra block. i know this is a difficult process to go through, i encourage you to go forward with the process of outreach and i hope you will work with sfmta, and i know there are many issues we need your support and effort on if you can work in conjunction with us, you say you're committed with the city and the agency, so please work with staff. >> taxis and the car-free market street, it's like my thanksgiving maoem of issues, i've pfr been talking about this for a long time and i guess i'll start by thanking the staff and particularly director reiskin, this is i think something i was addressing since the day you came on board and you have
5:34 am
always been very good about listening very good about planing and very methodical about putting this idea, i realize this tames time, so in addition to thanking your staff, i'll thank you personally, yu eve been a huge help in this whole process and i'm personally grateful to it. i recognize this is a first step of things to come ombacker on market street but i recognize this is a first step that's geared towards promoting safety, particularly pedestrian safety and i think that's a goal that we all share as well as bicycle safety and really frankly at the end of the day, safety for everyone because accidents affect everyone. there are additional benefits to this as we've talked about and one of the additional benefits that i hope to see with this and future market street projects is obviously the increase for liability of transit as you and i have talked about many times i would like to see the above ground subway so our bus riders and f train riders have the same impeded path that i have when i ride through the
5:35 am
tunnel on the metro in the morning, so it's sort of interesting from a historical perspective when we first proposed this, many workshops ago and i started advocating for it and cheryl as well started advocating for it, there was a lot of resistance, as we put the first step in here today televising's almost no resistance, the only debate is who gets to benefit from the transit benefit of this and no real opposition to at least this first phase of the program and i think that speaks well to the outreach and i think it also speaks well to the fact that warehouser city is recognizing with the growth we're going the have to change the way we move around this city and promote other modes of transit and that's what it does, so i fully support this as well, i will move it as it is and peekbacker speak tog the one issue of controversy i think it's fair to say thank you to the folks from lift and uber and others representing the tnc's who came to give their point of view.
5:36 am
i don't think they should be discouraged from coming here, i would urge those of you who are giving them a hard time and hissing them, to not do that, they should be heard they won't always be agreed with, but they should be heard the same way you were heard sir i will say i get the irony that was perhaps most best voiced by mr. gruberg but others that we have a bunch of people who want to be treated the same as taxicabs i think on policy decisions like this, we should focus on the policy issues the two main issues are these if we expand the exemption to allow the tnc's we will have an unknown number of car and is that will defeat the very safety and ancillary transit goals of this project and number two, as many people have stated very well, it creates enforcement issues that i just done see a great
5:37 am
solution to with that, mr. nolan and thank you for your recognition of my personal work on this and also i'll recognize my colleague, cheryl brinkman for her work on this, i would like to move the item as it is. >> is there a second? >> i'll second it. >> before we vote, last eve nij i i talk today director ramos would couldn't be here, he's on a business commitment, he wanted me to express his enthusiastic support on the proposal as is, and i appreciate the staff work, the huge amount of outreach that's going into this so i will support it as well, we have a motion and a second, a ul in favor, say aye. >> aye. opposed? no. the motion passes.
