board of directors i want to get the corey right a few weeks ago and launched in a busy weekend the start of old new rail line which is designed to help move people around the blooming waterfront the e line one of the things that it is also good to presented the level of effort and involvement that goes on behind the scenes to make this a reality you may recall the car coming over from england this starting the process to my far left manny enrique's one of our manages in the real equipment department he and his team made

the cars historic cars we're using on the e line are a combination of t cc cars and also some truly historic cars like the bow and car one some we refer to as is one of for the special cars next even though she told me this was her first board recognize now her second she was recognized earlier in the last speech but julie does the scheduling among many of her hats in this effort this was truly a difficult task to blends all this together you're putting in historic corrects vehicles and modern vehicles after we get the cars and schedules done next to meet many ms. jackson a

dispatcher and her job to make sure the operators are properly trained and ready to assume their duty in the first weeks the e line we've not missed services because of detrust services next it in fact, one of our small business you'll angel who has been here as long as some of the cars (laughter) that we're operating he was he's the person we look to both because of his technical skill and being able to operate some of the diverse pieces of equipment but higher intraer personal skills and his commitment and dedication is reflected he handles all

situation very well to so i wanted to recognize one of our premium operators to my immediate rights is mr. edward dennis once you get the services on the street someone has to manage and make adjustment and mr. dennis not only did it from the transportation management center but out in the field on the street and constant contact to balance the e line with the rest of the service and finally a few months ago we realized the e line was coming ed who is our senior operation manager at cable car stepped up to be the captain of the e line start up he did that with great success and despite the line was started

up he mobilities and responses on weekends be they hit a close deadline to get a new service ready and as far so good and continued success with the e line but i want to on behalf of all of us express our prediction for the work of the group without them, we wouldn't have the e line. >> on behalf of board 3 of us have had the opportunity to ride and so congratulations all of you and thank you for a difficult project (clapping.) >> good afternoon droshgsz distinguished mr. don and tom nolan. >> to see you you know i've

>> good afternoon to the board and first of all, i want to give thanks to god and i only thing i can tell you is give the best of the best of myself to the sfmta and to the people of san francisco and to be proud to be serving san francisco thank you very much. >> (clapping). >> okay. thank you all very much. >> all set. >> so a few other items the same weekend and started to launch the e embarcadero we started the early shut down for the embarcadero and the bay tube

was closed on xrooeld weekend to get the e line up and running at the same time we were preparing for the early shut down and prepared thirty buses to support the tube closure all three of those events first and foremost went well, the e line launch went well and the bus service was there as intend no runs missed by all accounts i got a call from bart's manager everybody is pleased and some of the folks and many others but the communication and enforcement team a lot of folks could together to make a whole lot of things good flawlessly

wanted to acknowledge the ground water great work we did end the fiscal year on june 30th our revenues were 15 and a half million dollars higher than the previous year overall revenues were above budget by 64 million dollars it quite a bit above budget from many categories like the transit spent $10 million over budget and state funding $14 million over budget and that concludes my remarks fees thirty millions over budget and other things including the general bus line coming up bigger than anticipated as the economy grows that derives not only the general fund but much of the rest of the revenue growth as well because we did not and did not have the authority for those

revenues those will fail to our fund balance as a result will be consideringly above the 10 percent requirement so we may as we develop the budget in this coming year recommend that the capitulate on one time items but happy the revenues are strong and our fund balance is in good shape the revenues are there the approved amount every dollar we spent was authorized and we managed to stay within budget some of the details might change but from a fiscal year as we close out good news. >> the next thing i want to

mention our performance metrics you'll recall when you adapted the strategy plan back under 2012 we identified key performance indicators and a number of measurements we track we report those to the policy and governance committee each month and make them available to the public on the with webbed but available in a fairly statistic format i wanted to let you know we're today introducing new online dashboards that bring those performance manufacture measures to the public in a more dynamic way we have just a brief sampling of them on the laptop if we could go to the laptop give you an opportunity to see

those from the home page you can easily navigate from the performance tab to the metric they're there organized by goal. >> just to give you a couple of highlights if goal one one the matrix that is fine on muni it is broke down by month and type of item and sort by type of crime as an example trying to bring this information forward to the public and another one obviously everyone is interested in on times performance from muni select by line or select by division the green is the percentage on time and the blue ahead of schedule and blue and orange behind schedule a way to make the information we used to

manage the agriculture and good afternoon the agency more easily available to the public encourage the people to go 9 sfmta.com and finally as director borden made reference we launched safer market street last week, a pretty significant investment and commitment by this board an implementation by the sustainable streets to improve the safety from third street to 8 street is home to many of the more dangers intersections in the city or the top 80 intersections in terms of pedestrian injuries and we implemented the improvements by and large they've been going well notwithstanding with you we're working on making sure the

signage is clear that everybody is doing the enforcement is clear on the enrollment definitely some bugs to work out by very well received i ran into a muni operator that said it is safer and heard from pope e people walking and buying and taxi driver it is one of our 24 zero we're on track to complete as we said we said one the first 24 months and happy to see that in place i want to acknowledge she's not here but the lead laura did a tremendous effort on the shepherding of the design and the outreach responsible for the support you heard when you approved this a few months ago that was it for any report.

>> and safer market street thank director heinecke for the leadership through the years to public life i kind of realized one is persistence and thank you so much for you for your leadership eave heard nothing but positive comments. >> director heinecke. >> that's wonderful coming from you i wasn't the only directors in the past that played a key role productive our point of precedence and i look forward to the rest of the professionals that is, i look forward to future proposals and will continue to be precedent i look

forward to the day when new yorkers refer to broadway as the street of the east we have an opportunity to make something special. >> thank you director reiskin for getting us to close to where we are i hadn't thought of this listening to the feedback of the taxi drivers i asked him asked them to list the 5 blocks that will be an interesting data point to look at the rest of market street one question on the director's report my understanding when we shift to the night time enclosures that will be suspended during giants games did i understood that. >> initially 18 or so games

that we're to over laptop initially the service will go to embarcadero and the embarcadero people will go to bart but muni patrons will shift to bus service after the first week of operation and some discussions with the guidance we made an adjustment such we're running trains introduce the subway only on giants night we'll have service after the games but adjusted for night giants games people should be able to get through the subway. >> what was that made. >> before the august 11th game and i went to the game on saturday night so we don't need to talk about saturday night but

going forward after the giants games subway service through the tunnel and a reasonable time after that. >> that's correct. >> i wanted to chime in on the e line i tried it out last weekend i i want to give a shout out to the folks that were volunteering from the railway they the a great job of cleaning the confusion as people got off of caltrain and not sure to go to old train cars i want to give a shout out. >> director ramos. >> i had the privilege of riding my bicycle on market street what a difference and how much more feasible and comfortable i would encourage everybody who is thinking about

it give it a shot but encourage people i'm sure this will happy a much more pleasant place with all the good weather and the people bicycling by and walking on 80 that street i'll looking forward to the place making it happen and work with merchants and cult organizations to capitalize on a much more pleasant so thank you to the staff and again, thank you director heinecke with your mouth full for all you've leadership on that so thank you to everyone. >> anyone. >> one person wanted to address the items presented by director reiskin

kind of injunction the reason the kind of behavior are towards the workers during the drive that part of the actuation is not effecting the agency but the workers about not surround their rights to protect their jobs in the workplace that there spill over into the bus stops it started on valencia and will continue in order to avoid the disruption that will otherwise cause the law boyd people getting to and from the bus stepping stops but implement that by the board. >> more names please.

property owner and tax pair i correspond with the staff of the intersection of bryant i'm sure it gets insane on a game day in four years i've seen somebody directing traffic mike maybe two or three times and in the last few months motorcycle officers cit folks and some dpw people milling around the intersection if i don't make it threw the j is the visually impossible due to people doing wacky things they'll extending send you a ticket for one and $6 i'm trying

not to gridlock and so forth so if someone can be doctor on a game day i wonder sometimes the income or the safety because without directing traffic and citing people will not cure the problem second subject you may recall me being here about 24th street mr. robins caused signs to be put up there not to have their trailers there overnight right now there are 15 trailers there two or three weeks always, always there there was not one parking space on 24th street but i'm informed t p d does not go out after midnight so there's a solution to be that that would be great.

>> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> hi good afternoon. i'm eli the manager of parking wear here to ask the mta to stop citing for a number of reasons we want our members in san francisco many of them don't have the cars to get the opportunity to bike electronically from their bikes it acts as a compliment to muni their electronic motor vehicles their devices and not motor vehicles under the code the mta didn't issue the tickets currently so the mta we think

shouldn't be issuing those 0 motorized bikes we august and will submit follow-up. commentary the vehicle code didn't treat them the same as vehicles or motor vehicles the california case law states those are not motorized vehicles and in case law this should be address while the mta cited a list of non-motor vehicles this is no a list exhale but a ding importance within 0 motorized vehicles and all the vehicles we agree to disagree but we should be on the same page of not

pushing people by denying them the right to take a one way trip home and their neighbors our pilot - >> yes. looks like there are a whole love people you indicate how many are in support. >> yeah. >> okay. very good. >> thank you very much. >> michael, andy, (calling names). >> >> good afternoon. >> michael keith i founded square feet and ask you not to impose parking limits on scoots one of the things that makes scoot different from the transportation that egging energized in san francisco is that we always follow the rules we've actually made up rules for the riders because we want to show the mta that we were serious not only about making

transportation better for them but everything else in the city the best example our motorized bikes use the bike lanes and park on the street but we tell the riders not to do that out of respect for the community and percent the second point we don't allow our members to pick up and drop off scoots in our areas even though as non-motor vehicles they're not subject to the restrictions our riders don't understand why they can't take a shared small all electronic vehicle home at night we have imposed that a 4 thousand person, 50 thousand pilot project where we demonstrated through a substantial amount of data that we know how to run on street

electronic vehicle sharing program with great success scoot is not uber we're not google buses we're impact face green quick and most importantly affordable we want to ask mta to stop impede listing our riders and hold off on citing the motorists until a proper form has been revised thank you (clapping.) (calling names.) >> good afternoon hello, i'm sandy. >> could you give us our last name. >> as a transportation fan i've seen first hand the effects in

city decided it wants to cancel the s medallion program i wrote the original proposal by the way, that if you wouldn't take those medallions away from the completed speaker cards and documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. to the cab drivers that have been driving for decades not in the health condition to drive full-time but drive part time and if the city decided to stop the medallions don't yank it from them but let them write out the possession of those medallions and gradually instead of devastating them financially. >> next speaker, please. >>

(calling names). >> good afternoon. >> hi, i'm argue speaking on behalf of the obscurities for the enforcements of parking restrictions guarantee i don't ride scoot received a deceasing degree in san diego with engineering and co-founder the stature in san francisco it is map and here's the mathematics their 5 times the vision of cars and murder 5 times cleaner every motorcycle you see on the roads if you see a second riders their as efficient as a muni bus they release parking and i encourage you we're leaving all those restrictions but especially for scoot the electronic obscurities are assessable in the gasoline

counterpart as a resident of the alamo scare this will negatively impact not only me but many of the people in my community thank you. >> (clapping.) (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon i'm a native and counter residents of san francisco working part times jobs and i'd like to voice my general supports with limit time and money psychiatrist has come to the rescue it is my solution to part for a limited amount of time to move my car it is my solution to the longer percent scoot takes me the thirds of a time from buses not to mention being packed on a crowded bus my solution to the route of taking

a cscoot is $2 and not to mentin i can't say bike to work at a job interview and show up sweaty change has effects as a contingency we need to evaluate scoot provides a alternative i hope you'll support them (clapping.) thank you. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon good afternoon, everyone i'm also a native and current residents of san francisco i'm a student myself i can tell you the great things about scoot as everyone has but specifically

for the proposal and permitting i think the important thing to note here that specifically in regards to 2 hour parking and requiring prims that scoot uses space that currently not utilized all so i think the intended purpose of keeping neighborhood and areas congestion free is not better served by not allowing scoots to park in those spaces they took place space not used by cars anyways so it didn't make sense that the goal of creating less traffic not to allow scoots to park in those places it encourages less car use and also very cheap and inefficient i currently am not working i'm a student myself as the previous

speaker mentioned it is clear up so regular people that does have large income can access those vehicles especially, when muni is not available i use muni all the time but late at night and other times it didn't make sense so it scoot makes sense for everyone that lives here (clapping.) . (calling names) >> glen eagle good afternoon. >> hi, i'm here to give feedback from a taxi driver and actually happen to work all 3 days friday saturday and sunday i've seen the reports stanley robert the first night i have to reports on saturday, i saw a

fight between my passenger i pulled up in the bus stop i'll allowed to do a taxi driver and the parking control officers surround my vehicle for a $288 ticket the passenger tried to board and a white parking control officer almost slammed the door on his hand now the passenger and the parking control officer had to step aside when the police officers came in i wasn't sure in any passenger was going to get arrested i many to make my that he had passenger walk a block why is it we embrace technology and people are not using

technology and did understand access to the technology inside so i think the problem i wanted to bring up i want to say people have such a misunderstanding of the taxis that is so much more technology a fixed gps and video cameras and marked license plates so i hope the parking control officer staff will understand our regulatory fees finance their salaries thank you very much. >> thank you very much (calling names.) >> mr. weaning. >> herbert wiener with the implementation of muni forward the muni bus line will no longer ron run to san francisco general hospital instead of people on their way to san francisco general will have to transfer to the bus line

this transfer will not be difficult and sufficient to transfer to buses what's not stayed this run is frequently kroutdz with standing room and the buses are not consistent in schedule can you imagine a pregnant woman so who or a critically wounded individual for the record to stand in such a situation can you imagine a long wait for the bus those realties were never addressed by the muni forward and are being presented by this board in the board approves this change and some medical vent happens assaults that will have blood on its hands and facing a potential lawsuit this is for the record in light of the legal procedures thank you.

>> (calling names). >> david pilpal we're like a law firm dipped again, i wanted to express a concern of route changes implemented are part of the pe p or muni forward there's still maps throughout the system that does reflect the route changes i don't have a specific list in staff would review the maps and signage throughout the system and insure their up to date and some of the vehicle arrive pretext at the caltrain station inform m t c but mta has a rule and the van ness station explicit reflect the stop moves so the 47 is not showing up at

caltrain and the van ness station it is not showing up i'm not sure who is point person on staff but if someone can let me know i'll walk you through but it should reflect the current route information that should be fixed thank you and. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> bartow (calling names). >> good afternoon director reiskin and others i'm here on a serious issue the appearance that taxicabs are not welcome to serve the public many instance we talk about the protecting the value of the medallion in order for the drivers to generate enough money to pay the loans

(calling names). >> are those folks here. >> any of those people? no >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> my name is erica move forward to san francisco from new york and the transportation

methods between the two city and counties cities are different the one thing i love about san francisco is the scooters the issue that i ran into when i first started to take the any public comment? not as convenient and it takes sometimes a very long time to go from one part of the city to another this changed which i started scooting i would say one of the best methods of transportation in the city it is convenient and can park mr. vice president anywhere and want to continue to work almost anywhere and it is also not expensive which is a big deal for us that knows this city is comprehensive

o expensive more than new york so i hope our voices are as loud as they can be (clapping.) and (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> i'll briefly top our times i'm one of the older members 50 years and getting into credulous so muni has made me late many times when i signed up for scoot i'm early to classes square feet as saved me i appreciate square feet if it wasn't for them i'll be on the bus now thank you for your time. >> (clapping.) is mr. baine here. >> okay joshua the last people that turned in speaker cards

from general public comment. >> joshua from the commission on the environment i'm here on the subject of sustainable transportation i came by here we had a commission meeting and talking about the shuttle policy we want egypt's how the program is going as you recall about a year ago we roanoke county the program and said it has good environmental benefits and want to make sure their realized and was mentioned by 50 workers and folks if the teamsters we want to say the sustainable working conditions for people driving the shuttle we want to see that codified at the board of supervisors i think if we had the capacity to do thing like that for the cards union members

we'll be doing things like that it was exciting to see and less excited to hear a degree of lack of harmony from the environment department reached it out 0 director reiskin but want to come in person and have a invitation for people and staff to come to the policy meeting on monday, september 1, '46 at 5 o'clock in room 421 we're going to analyze we're excited to hear the progress both the environmental and sustainable working conditions we for some of us we think the solution to look at the types of programs and collective bargaining if you have folks driving and not supporting the wages and benefits this is not sustainable and green we love the work with

our department and see you folks on monday the 15. >> alex troy the last person to turn in a speaker card. >> good afternoon. >> i use scoot for the longest time if have a car and i got on the service and it is on demand poem hire me to do odd jobs around the city for a while i had to rely on muni it made it challenging to get to difference jobs and limited the tasks to get done in one day as soon as scoot came along it was 1, 2, 3 or tasks to three or four and allowed me to get to different areas that muni if get there in

certain neighbors and things like that that is another huge thing in the on demand economy like having scoot makes a difference and like you were saying coming back to the richmond area be able to drop the scoot off and not worry about it in two different areas to catch a bus home it definitely was a dream come try when scoot showed up so i notice a lot of people just in the bay area alone is 9 hundred active passengers and i know the service makes a big difference. >> (clapping). >> no one else cares to address the board public comment is

closed. director reiskin we can't say discuss the substance not on the agenda i'm wondering if you could take another look at this policy and take another look and bring it back to the board. >> i'll be happy to as we indicated in a letter to you and the folks we got probably 4 hundred e-mail messages if people in support of our changing our rules what we indicates we're studying as many of you may know our old residential parking process and program and guidelines and rules enormous in terms of who is eligible and not this is one of the issues that is part of the study we were planning to come back already we can if scoot as additional robust review with

the transportation vehicle code and happy to report back if we find anything as a result. >> any time when it happens. >> i think it was in our letter victoria. >> the memo indicated they'll be coming back to the board in september and there with a different policy. >> next year in 2016. >> is something happen in november. >> we'll update you on the initial vksdz with respect to the program and come back in 2016 related to many issues. >> that's an agendized item on the calendar members thank you and appreciate our testimony. >> move on the consent calendar

are considered to be routine and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests in which event the matter shall be removed from the consent calendar please be advised 10.3 and 5 have been severed and oh, 10.6 as well now. >> so the remaining items to be agenda is there a motion to approve. >> motion to approve. >> second. >> any further decision. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it, it is unanimous. >> berry toronto. >> yes. regarding the i s of all the items there are lots of items one item a red flag our coming down past the scare to

make a left-hand turn on to kearny street the problem there are dangers you're not addressing every day dealing with tour buses double-parked in the right lane you let them sit there double parks for hours in the evenings i want to know why you've considered this more of a danger than the other hazards at the intersection the to blocks south of there so on kearny street then also, if you look at no resisting on red as pass over why is this difference than others why not a 7:00 a.m. to

7:00 p.m. restricts like the other no turn on red restrictions why is this difference i'm saying maybe a safety issue but so many other problems with those particular blocks that the agency is not dealing with thank you for your time. >> mbes. >> motion to >> >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? 10.3 please. yes back on the agenda 10.3 authorizes the director to have a contract for transit vehicles system and negotiated contract for the services to the highest proposal not to exceed for a 2 additional term. >> david pilpal i have concerns that the calendar item didn't indicate a

cells only to go to the board of supervisors and the public outreach is thin this item was not presented to the cac with significant operating changes to the passengers i'm not sure the functionality but the current policy is that late at night transfers are cut for laid night and good for five or six in the morning transfers are only good for 90 minutes at all minds this is a change policy i'm not in favor of that night transfers are a good system and additional operating details by issuing the transfers the way it proposes rather than operators giving me to passengers i'm not sure with the new transfers look like and the materials will be made of

where their environmental and consistent with the city's vinyl he i'm not sure who is handicapping this i'll maybe get answers to questions and i'll strongly encourage this to be brought to the cac before it is broths back to you for approval and mbes questions or comments. >> motion to approve. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? >> 10.5 the memorandum of understanding and the bay area to clarify the rules and responsibilities to for a newly contracting for the executive director and rise the cost allocation formula. >> once again on this item it

is the metropolitan transportation agency and i don't know how it happens here it is not clear when costs analysis was done to result an additional will 7 hundred plus a year the awe pensions were not done so you don't i cannot but the cac was bed-and-breakfast on the future discussions like the next generation clipper i don't believe that restated agreement was brought to them and again there are impacts on the public i understand from reading the material that the chef board meeting are public and the director reiskin is the representative for that and i look forward to learning more about that to the extent this

makes the system more rational i support that but if there were more examination and looking forward to talking about with the lady to see how this impacts. >> if you had not of taken this off the agendas but i'll address the extra 2 leonardo da vinci and $86,000 a year. >> the main difference i apologize we wrote the agency rather the compilation that us upsetting some people in terms of the call. >> we're fine thank you. >> what we found in terms of elevating the overhead cost structure first of all, it wasn't rational based on a number of cost drivers but we found there was a couple of agencies shouldering all the

credit cards fees i think about half of our costs we pay or charged by mtc are a huge part of costs it was through collaborative meeting as among the agency lead by manifesting and bart deanna is spearheading this an agreement among the agencies this new cost allocation formulas first of all, allocated the costs what drives the costs but secondly, that importantly allocated credit card fees but a couple of agencies was appropriate that meant for many of us there would be a cost increase. >> thank you for that i also support this the recommendation it is part of me thinking with

the transportation and the board of directors and executive directors that - hold on i think it is overkill but your understanding of this. >> yeah. the cost is for a new agency not really a new agency we've discussed a transbay joint powers authority it wouldn't make sense we're creating a board to join with mtc and oversee this fair payment system that is overseen by mtc but not the operators kwhos customers rely on it. >> move this item. >> second. >> any further discussion >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> i's have it. >> temple authorizing the director to have barhopping for

the scrape improvements for a term of 2 hundred and 40 cleared up days and mr. pill pal. >> did i understand. >> the staff report didn't include a map i'll requesting a map and plans i'd like to review those and it also in indicate who the project manager is i seem someone in vinces shop i have thirty no issues with the project i want to see what the construction is so i'm making that request. >> members of the board. >> mr. chairman that concludes the consent calendar moving on to item 11 is adapting the ceqa

vlgdz and approving the second street. >> achieve the staff on behalf of tom maguire directors i'm very pleased that staff and the department of public works and mta's are here to bring in front of the you the second street project for your consideration as you'll hear that is one of the most ambitious landscape projects as you recall this is part of the bicycle plan a number of years ago at the present time, the boards directed us to work with the communities to get a comprehensive plan i'm proud to say we've done that work and been working with the community and they've let us know their mroould pleased with the outcome

and thank them i'm joined by christen from the department of public works who is the public manager and ellen the project lead from sfavpt and the innovation and liveable streets with that, i'm going to turn it over to christina and ellen to presents the results. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon directors. >> katrina teen from department of public works the project manager. >> microphone not that one that one. >> okay. >> sorry katrina teen a into department of public works i'm the

streetscape manager i mean, i'll begin the presentation and hand off to staff. >> this project is lead by the public works with support from the sfmta and the planning department here's a picture of the project location it is second street from market to king street about a mile-long question worked closely with the community to develop several goals for the most part is improving the seated at the table using second street it is designed to improve walking and biking to improve those modes of transportation to reduce the number of drivers to as you second street to access bay bridge the project includes

sewer and waters rehabilitation and repaving each other the entire corridor. >> here's photos of second student on the last north of harrison the streets are narrow and other than the europe right a picture if south of harrison the crosswalk is an uncontrolled walking across 5 lanes in the afternoon peek periods on the bottom right is a photo of a family biking to a game the proposed projects are to attract from a range of folks the project supports vision zero the city goal to eliminate serious injuries and dedication for the intersections are on the high injury network and the

proposed will make major improvements that project is is out of a robust project and the design driven by the community that was determined by the community priorities and design the alternatives and get feedback the sfmta host an accessibility workshop for signs that has assess for everyone and the project incorporated the design project team conducted a door to door project including for homeowners successors and merchant groups thank you katrina teen a i'm elaine the sfmta lead on the

project i'm excited to be here to share with you the details of the project one of the most comprehensive and multiply affiliated projects in the sustainable streets everyone with works or travels on second street will enjoy the benefits of a safer comfortable environment i've spent a lot of time on second street as i've cabin working on this project that is clear it has a lot of character and potential i think this project capitalize on that potential and creates a street that is truly vibrant in selma project besides widening the narrower sidewalks between

townsend on second street that makes according the streets safer upgrading the crosswalks for all the alleys curb ramps will be ethic and lighting the intersections and alleys to help pedestrians and drivers to see each other better and that includes installing a new traffic signal and other signal at 80 ma and washington to highlight the crossings project includes dedicated lanes and most of the corridor will get curbside protected ways and this is similar to on the projects like polk street and a portion of market street in that

that will be raised between mid-level and the sidewalk and controlled at major intersections with bicycle signals this is an overhead view how the bike fit into the configuration 1 traffic lane in each direction where the resistance and on the right see in golden gate park and transit where the bike way goods behind next slide, please the project includes a variety of measures to keep muni flowing smoothly and for riders they include the islands and this is a picture of a very

similar design san francisco municipal transportation agency is originally implement at church street which is working well transit signal priority will be installed along second street and the bus signals will be adjusted in order to keep traffic moving and muni moving in a single through lane right-hand turns will be allowed and left-hand turns will be restricted at all intersection between mission street and grant it street besides widening the students the project will help other improvements to make a realm a great place to be including the beverages and bike rakes and

other things throughout the project the community has generally support second street a more complete street with better waking, biking and transit friendliness this requires and nevertheless, second street as a route to the freeway and reich interns from granting it street and the in northbound removing a dully left-hand turn at harrison and replacing it controlled by the signal those changes be a boon but require that many drivers that use second street needs to divert to parallel street. >> i was going to talk about parking staff is recommending that

2/3rd's of on street parking be repurposed 10 percent of the 17 hundred parking spaces within one block of second street owe understand this is a concern a small amount of parking will be made up by creating new parking on a side street of brendon none and harrison on second street and side streets will be converted to loading and non-assessable zones process team has been working with the transbay joint powers authority and the projects will coordinate with them in the alleys east of second street we've worked hard with the storefront and companies to understand their needs when in their driving and parking in the area this proposal strikes a balance with the automobile those in the area achieving the

other project with the implementation of this project sfmta will work with the police department to engage the public in education before moving on to targeted enforcement to make sure that all drivers understand the new streets and obey them. >> you want to talk about the project? the project as implemented the environmental impact the eir was served on theirs and after this hearing that will continue into detail design through the ends of 2015 they accepted the contradiction is in late 2016 and the construction will last 9 months to a year and

be implemented neiman in the meantime we understand the need for black history month and we've installed a safety zone to highlight that crossing and also upgraded all the stripped crosswalks an second street and continuing that work early in 2016 by installing traditional stripped bike lanes on the northern and southern ends of the second street and continue on the rest of the corridor >> i'd like to thank the community and everyone who participated in developing this project and thank you for your time katrina teen and i will be happy to answer any questions. >> any members of the public wish to testify.

>> yes. 5 that (calling names). >> the first 3. >> good afternoon good afternoon tom nolan and board members i'm the new project manager of walk sf and on behalf of of the members allison park here to urge you to approve that the second street neighbors signed this petitions it has so many benefits for the communities as you may know the project will transform a dangerous corridor that is important that is in the heart of a fast growing part of the community the project will more efficiently use the public space to move important people whether on foot, biking on transit or in cars in addition in this project includes important safeties

improvements that helps the city achieve the vision zero goals from ellen the project has wider sidewalks and the removal of a turn lane at harrison and pedestrian lighting and the safe for bicyclists it makes the streets easier to navigate for motorists it is the first green project to come from the braid created by sfmta and sf planning to connect people to parks and the waterfront from the safer green streets for all those reasons we think this is a fantastic project that is going to accommodate growth in selma more safely and help the city achieve vision zero and create green connections for all those fantastic reasons and benefits we urge you to approve that

project today and the project can go forward without delay thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. i'm here on behalf of supervisor jane kim to expert witnesses this is second street it one of the most important street but it is currently uncomfortable and save for people walking and biking and taking transit those proposed improvements will make the streetscapes and give the employees and loophole businesses and visitors that use second street the great and save street they deserve and the second street project is a strong step towards achieving vision zero this has been decided and many residence including moist really value the

participation in projects that effect their lives thank you to mta and the staff for listening and developing this project on behalf of supervisor jane kim i urge the board to approve this for 2nd street. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> hi good afternoon chairman nolan why do they hates us so much why cab drivers second street is the way in and out of going to the ball park for games and special fence your- why can't we be exempted from the or not restrictions you're eliminating a cab stands and, in fact, in the proposal i didn't have a chance to review them i have to work and it's a a

lot of proposals here but i noticed your 're reducing the size of cabstands i have a few questions when was the eir completed have you looked at how many capacities is on first street and some of the other streets it has gotten worse with the tmcs and the other services eyeing drivers do deliver and pick up goods and services have you seen the number of cars all of a sudden you're coming to shift to another street and everything will go away you'll make it a huge mess the eir is two huge bans the numbers another question who from taxi exemption services and what kind of input to the people and were they invited and did they attends those members of the committee

regardsing the available we have to make left-hand turns there's a hotels on the corner of fulsome and second we have to make the left-hand turn going north and howard to go to serve the hotels or take people from the office buildings and the residents in south beach and you're basically saying wear not going to serve those people thank you, very much for hating us. >> thank you. >> (calling names). >> david pilpal again, i'm exercised on this item i want to understand the relationship between this project and the muni gordon's i think so there are routine changes on second street and understand the bus idles and what not are not

specific to the 10 and 12 is there i think ultimately the 11 and the project it's my understanding there are 26 significant impacts identified in the eir and not sufficient mission mitigation so i believe that crease additional compleng and so on that based i've not approve and encourage you not to do so. >> thank you. >> (calling names). >> hi i'd rather have 22 thousand bikes this is an 22 thousand tmcs that's for sure so you know i'm all for bikes and taxis hearing the roads and everything like that i didn't look closely at the proposals on second

street you know just keep in mind when the sidewalks were wideneded on castro street it is a constant traffic jam but the pedestrians are benefiting not that big of a deal one block but for a significant stretch of street it could result in go traffic jams on second street and the pedestrians will benefit i wonder if there recent a balance between car traffic and whatnot with that said, i'm all for being a caregiver giving this thing a try i hope you continue to take feedback on the results of this thing over the long-term and consider that taxicabs are an alternate and an

alternative routine to the bay bridge not an exclusive use to take people to other parts of city i hope that is an ongoing they know thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> okay. yeah thank you for this doing this project you know second street needs improvements whether the problems are, in fact, last week the traffic size like second and brilliant going southbound you can't see the restriction no will not sign because the vehicle blocks the signs so hopefully, they'll improve the student they'll up to the time put the traffic signs near the signal we'll hope

that the mta's implements a policy similar on mission street in terms of allowing a left-hand turn ann at third and fourth like taxis and buses can efficiently serve the public that provides a good balance for the public in my opinion i'll oppose the restrictions but implement left-hand turns for taxis and buses that will strike a healthy balance you know after the games it is common for guests staying in the w hotels you know the enter continental on howard they like to take it to second and howard and vegetation time like the moscone center i know fulsome they went to get to the moscone center and

second street a viable route to what's what i like the project is a great idea but taxis should be able to make left-hand turns. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> herbert wiener one question i have about the project about the access of automobiles if second street to interstate 80 ryan right now it is difficult to get to intestate 80 into the city will this complicate things what is is a decendents route if discounts u downtown does this project answer that question making second street into a choke point and for people trying to flee the city it will be difficult and creates congestion

the other question about business stop altercations will this create a hardship and parking parking is worse in san francisco compared to 20 years ago and mta has created that by snapping up parking spaces i think at least 20 thousand parking spaces have been left from the mta and frankly, if the police department were in control of parking we wouldn't have this problem in my opinion so those are the questions that come to mind you have to answer bus otherwise you'll create a congestion problem, create problems of accessibility to integrate 80 and frankly i don't have this problem i rather take bart than drive through the freeway it is less strain but

what about other motorists it is simply not i you know less cars less problems you'll have- restricting cars will creates more problems thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good evening, sir. >> will be our last speaker. >> if you need money just go to the atm machine that's what the emphasizing said like the india if you want zero that is zero will be very soon for everything but nobody like driving everything is safe that's the way in their thinking and bike lane and limit this and that but the problem is everything that close to the bay bridge is not only owned by san francisco you

have to take care of the people that have to live in east bay and all your view is micro let age looking beautiful i have a green trees but your finding a lot of people living in east bay your building power that is everyone that come to this meeting he will cry he wrote the 2007 a that's right he give you too much power look at townsend street and fulsome street all the warning on the wrong lane the full name street we're listing one lane on the fulsome street poem can't use it they pits mafia bike only i don't see

two many but people not only about living and beautiful people need to make living that's why china as a lot of pollution we can't afford to eat they have to clean it up san francisco is rich now we have look at obama put a tree in the middle of the lane have you to take care of enpeople not only create a lane on the bay bridge. >> (calling names). >> she'll be the last person to address you. >> good afternoon. i'm with the san francisco bicycle coalition representing the 10 thousand strong members throughout san francisco in supportive second street improvement project we've smimentsd nearly hundred personalized letters in a walk and a could say letters of support if businesses on second

street second street is south of markets most important corridor people walk and take transit along second street a home to neighborhoods serving local shops and restaurants the only north's south bike route in the area and services a critical connection for people that work and live south of market and last built projects of sfmta corners we're excited to see this project as today as many of you may know as now is uncomfortable and safe people for public utility people driving through the neighborhood and they create dangers conditions and we've from the sea of traffic project hfa as proposed with the

protected bike way and streetscapes give the visitors and on the complete street they deserve the project is a strong step towards the vision zero and as an agency of mta and has measurable impacts and lastly thank the staff as mta and the planning department in particular katrina 10 and others and countless community meetings thank you for supporting this critical project thank you. >> (calling names). >> and good afternoon. >> good afternoon. i'm pat valentino the president of the south bay admission prong

peaceful is important it is a dangers mess i used to take a bike on it, it is an enormous risk every single certain times of day cars use this is a ramp up speed to get on the on ramp when no traffic and when there is zero respect for the pedestrians i wish they could go further but the changes will benefit obviously pedestrians first and transit and bikes as well i do count taxis as part of transit it is okay to have a street it isn't friendly to cars i think we know this by now stating the objectives it a unsustainable form of traffic to

the merchants are numerous the benefits and nobody gets out of a car going thirty mile-per-hour to windows hop when there are plaza and walk and get out and bike and take transit people will more likely to get off their bike to walk by a store and it benefits the blood alcohol merchants for me who works and lives in the area this is stealing he needed from an emergency situation from the times i've almost been hit almost every single i walk through the area. >> thank you. >> last person to turn in a speaker card mary maguire. >> here we are i see your diagram now we've lost another kind of kind of bike stands we

lost anothers cabstands give us a cab stands at the ball park between townsend and king on both sides so we can gets 0 in and out of there what are we supposed to side if we can't say make a left-hand turn go to market street if someone to pick up on second street how are we going to get them anywhere it's on a right turn on market street i mean this is nice but then once again, why not eliminate all cars on market street and put commercial cars i don't know what what floating is why on castro is a constant traffic jam nobody needs to park on it block

a commercial zone on fulsome street maine i go to work on eight street you have to reinforce those a huge bike lane on fourth street i've seen people on the left-hand side i've mentioned the bike lane is on the one side how many minutes have you a huge lane why holdings up traffic it takes me to get to work sometimes an hour from rincon hill to the cab company and it takes 10 minutes to get home fulsome street is is a mess trying to get to the bay bridge you need to think this thing through better so thank you. >> members of board. >> director heinecke.

>> i have two questions i'll direct to director reiskin if i could give us an anticipation of cars on second street quietly go i assume some anticipation of car reductions bus second street crease other options or frustrated by traffic and not drive a summary and the second question which maybe my discussion provoking question the way i look at this plan as implemented that street will be essentially undriveable allergy anyone in a private available you'll have a single lane of traffic in either directions at times subject to people making turns although the turn pockets will back up but more importantly a single lane of traffic with traffic lights and

when busses stopped at their stops will block because one lane of traffic in each direction it is sounds market street why would anyone drive on this street i wonder why not take it the next level and do with second street like market street it is transit and taxis only free up that street for that sorts of vehicle traffic i think you solve the ball park if you have a dedicated taxi lane running flet south with with the subway train i'm sure someone thought about that i know we can't do this today given the environmental impact but to me it strikes me we should be long-term planning and to one of the public commenters if we create a north-south version of

a transit only red carpet street that will, something that julie and her staff this should be considering if we're going to have a more transit friendly north-sou north-south artistry want to put more traffic those are big picture questions you'll probably wishing i didn't ask them but to me this proposal i appreciate the first step but i have an interesting reaction to it i have a reaction to you all can just it is two midly we leave the street and put in pedestrian or we go all the way but to me this proposal is going to make private car traffic

untenable. >> we look forward and welcome comments from the boards i'ask christina and julie we didn't do angle analysis for a car free street the combarng between market market if have park it not a pattern for people were accustomed to and building to accommodate people pulling up to park so i think this is a little bit different than market many, many streets more of them north of market that are essentially gone lane in each direction for transit i think in terms of it being you can essentially a transit you

know high quality transit facility the improvements will help transit but it is one lane in each direction interest will be plenty of people that be assessing second street and in their car it will be less attractive as a freeway approach but lots of businesses with small shops that folks will be coming by many memos to come back by so i'm not sure it is going to be a street that will accommodates a whole lot more muni volume the muni staff as a part's of planning and the services staff it did benefit from a lot of different input but the main issue of second street is a 2 flats a street in that part of town if you're on a bike that really works from the

embarcadero to the etc. is the next and 5th center the to the west so as many hayne said a matter of trade offs for prioritizing the streets for not good alternatives from deriving from muni pained wlanz on third street that is a major corridor other alternatives for different modes we didn't study car free version of the plan something that is implemented we evaluate what the auto use is fill parking elimination will be problematic for folks and in terms of where the cars go christine r a or ellen can talk

about that as part of the environmental impact for the project. >> christina if public works so to answer your questions as we all know street street not a direct route a lot of people uses it for a orientals but a big part of second street the revitalizing the streets for people w that live and work there and not an alternative route as director reiskin said one of the two-way streets in selma and as such we know that is a critical route for taxis to eye second street to and from and want to shift the vision of second street to leave it on for people trying to get to the

small businesses around the grilled cheese company and hensleys spirits and the nail salon industries after south park but drive outside of the area so as far as what are other routes i've pulled up the map of selma the environmental impact studied 29 sgshgsz between market and king, first to third and we looks at 5th and bryant as one of the freeway on ramps so the additional routes it is articulating battery to first montgomery to new montgomery if you're on new montgomery make the resistance on howard, make the left on hawthorne and have the choice of fulsome or harrison if you are on second street

southbound you would have to take howard to get to full name or harrison. >> i guess i said there are other ways to go really the balance there are currently a lot of cars on second street where will they go those routes you've described are in my experience are at cabinet. >> there are 11 intersections that have prestige level impacts 3 of them were able to be myth at southbound and harrison to provide a left-hand turn from left-hand turn all the time to take up the capacity and working with the waterfront to look at the improvements only beale and other streets on embarcadero to take some ever that need that demand. >> understood. >> well, i guess this remains

something of an issue we should be discussing this is a major change in the way our city is moving our citizens around i certainly understand the need if not 92 just a unique corridors for bikes but if you walk up and down you'll see how many people will be living there in the future triple or quadruple judging but the cranes making the north south route decision and the ideas of a transit or enhanced transit lane i understand kantsz do that today not just muni but taxi or hof lane those are things in our

disposal my fear we're going to have a calculated second street claw for the cars that made a bad decision and clog for the taxis i'm a little bit concerned about this proposal it is too much in the middle i think we should watch 19it i'm prepared to support it today but it is with some trepidation we'll have quick reluctance once it go in mines a timeline for implementation not very long; right? something we can do quickly. >> so the; correct contradiction will be at the end of 2016 and done by the middle of 2017.

>> co-recordings to the subway by the way, maybe that will help alleviate. >> the creation of resistant pockets and the left-hand turn opportunities should help the traffic flow along second there will be congestion effects off of second but you know part of those designs was meant to keep the traffic and trachea flowing on second street. >> with respect to the taxi will it be two hours housing. >> what's before you is leging full-time. >> i'll stop i realize i've mop listed this director reiskin you'll not count on me for being precedence but i'll urge a

second look at after a ball game and vegetation that are a lot of times we're using the corridors off traffic peak times if they can't make a left it will lead to larger microfilms money for passengers. >> the importance of second street it has a lot of small-scale businesses that a lot more local like grilled cheese and not fancy places people go they're 31 they have deliveries and people that get there sometimes by car and the majorities of their customer base it is for this street a place for people nostril pga through all studies have shown people that are consulting not our customers but people driving in that area because they want to be there so to insure people

know this is under those circumstances not assess to the freeway and verbiage most people and peak hours are like on a daily basis the ones that discovered it the first and hopefully not make that mistake again and making sure that people i guess the only concern when the bus stops and making sure that we enforce the cars are not trying to go around the busy buses that stopped observing happens in corridors otherwise a great project second street is basically dead-ends in two spaces right king and embarcadero and market street has a ability to an calm down street friendliness and bike lanes i think this is a great

approach and objective in the beginning in short will be absent more challenging in the beginning but once people get used to the patterns of what at the could and couldn't do it gets better of modifying on behalf of. >> i'm excited to support this this is not my neighborhoods but looking forward to another safeway to get through downtowns i have concerns that were previously voices i want to look at the taxi exemptions but approving it as it is now not prevent us from looking at it again that's all i have. >> thank you director heinecke for making me seem lake the mediator voice we can do

something in the future if if it proves important awe applicable i know we've been hearing from a lot of people about masonic street if you can talk about what are we doing differently or lessons we've learned to apply to them this to keep us on schedule the. from our citizens i share is one of i am patience and as quickly as possible if we could talk about the timeline and how to keep it forward. >> one of our advantages on second street of one-half been an environmental impact for the past two years been cooperating with the other departments the public works and the mta so we have the project well independence the water and sewer the place will be repaved and as

director borden said it ends at both ends up in a sense that is a little bit easier to deliver and federally funds we've be submitting our construction package to caltrain for approval in september they'll need to review it that's why we have a gap under our schedule and finish destine this winter and advertise but from a lot of projects like caesar chavez escape to complete a section or segment of the street before we demobilize and move on to streamlining from design to advertising and work hard the contract and trying to streamline construction as well. >> is that just to go back to this ma song we're hearing about

that the masonic starts with the full board merging in dealing with outlet city agrees and improvements on timeline and delivery of projects and he guess i just want the public to have that confidence this project is more likely to stay on the timeline or being a city and dealing with city agencies yes something can always come up but to get us to the level of confidence. >> the schedule will stay as is we've been working on the project for several years we're at the tail ends and finishing the design and build it we have a lot of support if the communities and businesses not everybody is hundred percent confident that it has everything that everyone worksheets we have a lot of support going forward

with the implementation of the project. >> thank you. >> thank you, chairman nolan my compliments to the staff sounds like a lot of hard work i couldn't be more excited about this i did looks like you've done a lot of thinking i appreciate supervisor kim for sending her staff and expressing her support i've clearly seen her out there and understand how urgent of a need there is more projects like this in the city as someone who goes and uses this corridor to get better from the ball park to the train station on a bike it is down right terrifying to ride a bike anywhere in south of market but this is the place to do it

i would love to travel in the transmitted lanes everywhere at some point we should revisit this and it i feel that we need to do something soon i mean lives don't think it literally and great step forward to minimize the traffic and address the traffic issues i'll really encourage folks to consider how signage works to direct people do or into the best way to get to the freeway i've seen the signs to direct people to the freeway of a round about way people will get hip to it ever it is blocks away it is tremendously hopefully for people that are out of town that follows the flow of traffic and might ends up stuck i strongly

encourage you folks to look at how to augment the mitigations by looking at the signage for a more a better route for all of us for them to be assessing the freeway signages is critical i think this is all i have to say i'll be obviously supporting the project and again want to - oh, yeah last thing i appreciate looking at the taxis i - i resent people make accusations we hate taxis we're having a juggle a lot of balls and taxis are important thank you all very much. >> i will be supportive i appreciate all the public outreach and community groups that came forward and the

businesses and all of that i too burglary be interested in seeing the left-hand turn and the cab stand is there any way to replace that someplace and open to that as we get more and more information is under a motion. >> motion to approve. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? in the i's have it thank you staffer great job. >> 12 prosecution for the transit economic study no people that have expressed an interest in addressing on this matter. >> this is the meat. >> that matters. >> we've waited all day this. >> for this.

>> good afternoon decorations we're excited to bring you this information we as a city have looked the delay in a negative side of transit not actually tried to quantify the added value in the system whether or not i can't great system that brings the city this is our first attempt to have the dialogue and discussion so - >> increase in strategy plan you've approved under goal that the improve the quality of life in san francisco and objective 3.2 to increase the impact to the economy before we need to know that we need the bottom line this effort to study the baseline we hired. >> consulting firm economic planning system one the premium planning groups in the area to assist us in this effort

so i have jason moody a exfoliate that works on this i'll pass it over to him and we're both here to answer questions. >> good afternoon mr. moody. >> thank you. i'm jason with the economics and planning wear a real estate consulting firm with offices in oakland and sacramento and los angeles to build on what was said the person of this analysis to look at transportation in a really big picture from a return on investment or cost benefit flafls to look at muni services it is kind of a surprisingly kind of par.com transportation is looking at more and more those on the from the forehead level comparing the benefits to

the costs the traditional formula for funding transportation in this study is in that vain vein of trying to look at the investments, if you will, be using a metrics in a field that is willing the metrics are getting better estimating the benefits and comparing the costs this is straightforward but the stems are a little bit more tricky next slide, please. >> in addition there is obviously the local context the city transportation infrastructure and the growth in the city that is pitting constraints this is a projection of growth we've experienced a lot of growth in san francisco in the last 5 or 10 years that will continue population growing

40 percent by 2040 and employment growing next slide, please. >> obviously going to put more and more pressure on transit and transportation infrastructure in general and obviously automobiles are not going to be able to solve that problem and basically the right-of-way and the capacity of the streets is already at capacity there muni is critical for meeting those targets that's a big picture context in terms of the methodology i alluded to it is anyone tiger's benefits and comparing them with cost and doing a cost benefit analysis you have the reports i think the detailed report part of the packet with the detailed analysis the calculations are transparency and we vetted the

numbers and the model about the sfmta and the sf ct a with their transportation model and show the calculations we should a high and low rage for the estimates we provide i think the general kind of big picture assumptions this is why we're considering it we have to make a hypothetical assumption in some of the calculations what happens if muni didn't exist for parking demand and what happened to a whole host of things we had to do that in reality a content framework so it is a convert we made a hypothetical assumption you'll be able to continue to do things it will only be harder calculations as a result you

know exclude a number of things value of foregone trips for example, if muni was there people would have to travel less there's a value we're not calculateing they include things for circling for parking and the costs they actually exclude the population employment growth this is a model based on the current circumstances now how much worse but the impacts will grow request population employment so we're going to look at as it is today preliminary skaegz we we looked at travel time savings phone call for muni drivers but

automobile drivers they save times because muni reduces congestion and looked at the improved safety and the air quality issues and safety ones we didn't anyomonetize this services with the accessibility issues we didn't look at the last one i want to mention worker productivity next slide, please. >> obviously muni improves job assess and commute times it is

for productivity the one we quantified the travel time how long it takes to get to work or commute, in fact, we looked that with the sfmta model and assumed a world in which muni was not there how much congestion and you put an seismic value on the cost of time and accompany with an economic estimate that is what that basis it go to the next slide we didn't monetize the productivity benefit from muni that essentially derives what you're able to get in different and people working next to each muni allows the urban formula that is really hard to game-changer we looked it but as a comparison type of

analysis if you replaced - if you had to add more parking because muni didn't exist you'll have to replace 11 percent of the housing units and all the additional cars to be in the city car ownerships will go way up next slide, please. >> muni reduces travel costs has that's a straight up calculation and this is a pretty straightforward calculation a car obviously costs money to not only purpose but to maintain and operate muni costs money as well but on a per trip and per mile basis a set of facts for an automobile which you look at the costs biggest one is at our

designation and look at that on a per mile basis that is significantly costs savings we committed that if the cost savings analysis okay muni reduces the needs to owner a car cars cost money we didn't through to be conservative not only to park at the designation but having a parish in our house car ownership in san francisco is less than 70 percent compared to 90 percent in the bay area this is largely for the transportation in muni the calculation we did as detailed basically. i'm sorry. >> that the car ownership rate

will video to go up to san francisco the way we calculate up to percent and the calculations how many new parking spaces so have in other words, to do that and the cost of a parking space this is an illustration of interest because it shows you how space indoes he have for a overlay of candle stick park and if you think about the value the economic value combetsdz in the san francisco you get an idea of a space and other things related to car >> muni improves the environment this is obviously pretty intuitive basically the emissions per trip or per

million people that use mini is less emissions we calculated that think a protocol on the cost of air reductions between the two modes and the volumes in this case and you come up with an economic estimate with that. >> safety is another one thing again on a per trip or per mile basis it is safer to travel from muffin travel relative to audit travel the analysis for all the muni travel what's the economic cost of the collision and again some standard methodology that put a price tag here's some of the findings that are pretty small we look at the annual impact and the fire chief earners back.

>> no. it is easier in terms of of so obviously the amount of benefits far exceed the costs by depending on the high low on an annual $630 million to 1.5 billions of which is one thousand per residents and between 350 and $7 per trip when you look at in it in presents value that is the annual number and bringing it to a constant today's value the numbers are much more impressive on a per trip basis this is an overall cost benefit arbitrary this is technical between 2 and 3 which means for every dollar you invest our benefit is doibld to 3 times so overall muni is a

strong investment relative to others investments out there in terms of next steps this is really more of kind of a you know feel good type of study (laughter) we do hope it improves the benefits of travel and understanding some of the discussion fitting for the day is about that there is a lot of decisions about cars versus transit and understanding the trade offs hopefully, will provide context we have a method dissolution for calculating a variety of metrics we can use going forward to update and understand the investments of - to potentially incorporate those metrics into the future budgeting decided and finally a

lot of things we didn't look at bicycling and others services that sfmta provides and streetscape improvements complete streetscape sf was not evaluate there were other medics beyond the scope of this study we made this study directly to lead to with that, i'm available to answer any questions you may have. >> i have a question. >> questioned. >> can you apply it to methodology to others relationships actually, it is in someways to political to an individual i'm not sure if you're familiar with the federal level those are san francisco received money through that if i understand in motorbike they required a analysis and they select those

projects bans which one has the history cost benefit and it is easy because you have more concrete information about the travel patterns and the streetscape about what is happening in some ways easy to do it at the local level this is challenging to try to go macro. >> did we plan to try to use this just because every time we have a lot of projects coming before us on a project based level this is even more relevance this is not the issue but on a project related basis this kind of stuff makes a difference. >> director that's the goal to be having a cost benefits analysis the system this is a starting point and hope to get

more and more reif i understand but terrific to quantify for the public what the benefit cost of the individual projects so the first of a journey and hopefully, we're interested in making this a model of how we look at the world. >> i'd be rim if i didn't thank jason who is sitting in the audience thank you, jason. >> director borden brought up what i want to bring up this is a fantastic tool not only on a macro but a micro project by project i've not seen this come out of another traffic agency this is fantastic we're on the for the most part of calculate our benefits like director

borden said we can point it to it this sort of an unusual thing. an agency >> i actually got the idea seeing that bart did it. >> seattle has done. >> bart's did to study to demonstrate bart to the region we were calculating how much we costs san franciscans when we have details so a small subtract from a unknown positive benefit that is why it is important to do this. >> i mean, i'm glad to see the awareness of the policymakers some of the information will be perfect to accepts to the assembly mentioning members that are working on the transportation funding infrastructure i think this is could possible help them with the laundering and framework to address that i'm looking forward to seeing how we're going to use

that and expand it what benefit does that and what benefit if the pedestrian safety and bring this before the voters. >> thank you just quickly i really appreciate this is exciting i can't wait to do so the one on better management parking this is a premise ii think we all need more information available a few things i'd like to dig more deeply into the things you've listed as not being montana tied but the public health it is increasing more and more of a something we can address by way of our environment there is movement in

the field of public health that is coming to light with the overall costs we live a more transportation lifestyle this is things for actively transportation i will encourage us to dig harder and figure out if it is not anyone tied maymon talk about it seems to me transit invaluable to people of lower-income and i know there is a tremendous cost savings that we allow people when they don't have to own a car and finding a way to be able to help put that into sound bite or a bullet point we can get out there will,

tremendously helpful when we make the case for expanding the subway or putting in a light rail those are things that are associated with direct displacement or indirect displacement and pep people to understand how to get engaged in a project early enough enough but the long term benefits of some projects will be in terms of maintaining equity get to the real investment it is a wonderful thing i appreciate it. >> those points are right on we've seen what is happening for example, measuring the impacts the transportation system a lot of people working on quantifying that but the next iterations we'll quantify those i'm very optimistic we'll get there.

>> thank you very much. >> well, thank you very much that's an excellent report any members of the public. >> herbert wiener now that we're alone. >> i support public transportation i came to this meeting on public transportation and leave the communities on public transportation i think this is necessary in light of the gridlock i couldn't agree more but observations i have you talk about travel time i ride the one california bus regularly there is a point of interest with the busses sometimes two to three buses that fellow each other and sometimes, we have to wait a long time for business and i always say when is the next bus going to come after we

have weapons of mass destruction we talk about social equity you how about search and seizure and disabled having to walk to the bus and paratransit not a solution you have to reserve a day in advance and go four blocks on a paratransit vehicle is not okay when the muni forward is creating this inequity what i want to stress this is very important some people can't say not only drive in their 80s or 90s they create a danger to themselves and others i'll probably fall both that i'm 76 years of age but you'll have to give up my car sometime this is an important function that muni has your

protecting the public and protecting individuals against potential injuries and accidents because of that you have to insure accessibility i wish this report would cover that those are my observations thank you. >> board members thank you, mr. moody fine report we have a quorum oh. >> mr. chairman item 13 is a vote for collection you have a member of the public. >> mr. pill pal is no longer here so. >> is there a motion? >> motion. >> second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> how about a little break before we do the >> item 14 the mta met in clegs

to talk about the local 25 a that matter that the case with the city attorney with the directors decided to close both and conducted the policy but the disclose or not disclose the information. >> not demolish. >> >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> we're adjourned thank you very much, everybody

>> hi, i'm with building san francisco. and we have a special program of stay safe today where we're going to talk about what you can do to your home after an earthquake to make it waterproof and to be more comfortable. we're here at spur in san francisco, this wonderful exhibit of safe enough to stay. and this is an example of what your home might be like after an earthquake. and we have today with us ben latimer from tvan. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we'll talk about things you can do you don't have to be a professional contractor to make your home more livable after an earthquake. >> i want to talk about things a homeowner can do.

we have comfort and we have things like a little bit of maybe safety if your front door is ajar and waterproofing if you have a leak in your roof, or if you have broken glass on the window. >> so unr, one of the most important fib use is keeping outside out and inside in. let's look at windows. >> let's assume this window is broken in the earthquake. we have wind and rain blowing in. one of the most important things you need to do as a homeowner is secure the plastic properly. if you just take staples or nails and put them into the plastic, we're going to get a strong wind and rip it right off. what i'm going to have somebody do is they're going to have -- this is an old piece of shingle. you might have -- everybody has a piece of wood in their basement. it doesn't have to be fancy. they take out this rusty screw begun, and hopefully you have one of these. >> there is one at the neighborhood support center. >> at the neighborhood support center. you're going to wrap this plastic around this board, take

your screw. and then screw that in. >> you need a permit for this? >> you do need a permit for this. and you can contact the former head building inspector to get that permit. that's it. now when the wind blows, it's tight and it's not going to pull through, having a single point of contact. >> great. what about this door? take a look at this door. what can you do? let's say it doesn't shut tight. what can you do? >> for the sake of argument, we're on the inside. i can't lock my door at night. i have a very similar, very similar idea. i'm going to take my 2 by 4. i can put it across the jamb in the door. one. two. maybe i want another one up here, maybe another one down there. but i can go to sleep. and that quickly, i can get it off

in the morning. >> terrific. what about the roof up here? we see people throw blue tarps over their roof after an earthquake. that seems reasonable. >> i think the blue tarp is reasonable. the things that people want to know that they need to know is if you have multiple tarps, how you overlap. starting from the bottom and moving up so that you're overlapping this way. so, rain running down doesn't slide under your tarp. >> right. >> and the same technique we did over here, as silly as it may sound, wrapping the end of that blue tarp with your board and then securing that if you can underneath, if you have to on top is fine. but making sure that you don't have an area where the wind is going to get under and bill owe that tarp. >> the wind can rip it right off. >> and then you're back up there again. >> let's go inside and check out what we can do inside. >> old fun. here we go. >> so, ben, i see you have nails, universal tool right here. >> man's best friend. duct tape. let me show you a couple things we can use this for after an earthquake.

this window right here, because it's off kilter, we have open seams all along. i have a lot of air coming through. i want to stay comfortable at night. i want to keep that air out. it's as simple as that, all the way around. >> excellent. >> now i don't have any air coming in. let's say this one is one that would annoy me. everything is a little off. my doors won't stay closed. i take a piece of my favorite duct tape here, close it up. and at least it will stay out of my way when i'm trying to live throughout my day. if we're not talking about pressurized water, we're talking about just the drain, sometimes they're going to get a crack here. >> right, sure. >> and you're going to get a leak. duct tape around that is going to help us get through until we can get a plumber out and get that fixed as well. let's say we only have electricity in one room, so we're running extension cords across the house. if i'm going to run an extension cord from one room to the other, i don't want kids tripping on it. i don't want to trippon it. i take my trusty duct tape, tape it to the floor, and i don't have to worry about it

getting kicked. >> great, great. look at this. let's look at the duct tape here because we see a big -- >> yes. in the event of an earthquake, i don't think we're going to have too many -- too much debris that's safe to put into a plastic bag, even as strong as it might be. these are called vice bags. this is what they use to put rice and things when they ship it. this is something where i take my glass, i can take broken pieces of wood, i can take anything sharp and fill it. and it's not going to puncture and come out. it's not going to fall all over the floor. i've not going to have it sticking out, maybe scratch myself, cut myself or anything like that. these are a great thing to have. >> you have a little go-to box for emergencies. that's great. thanks very much for joining us, ben. it's really been interesting. and i want to thank you all for joining us here at the spur urban center. and we'll see you again

>> ♪ ♪ we are definitely pioneers in airport concession world a world of nationally if not entirely or internationally >> everybody is cop us right now. >> the people that were in charge of the retail this is where that began. >> i didn't think we would have a location at the airport. >> we've set the bar higher with the customer commerce. >> telling me about the operator and how you go about finding them and they get from being in the city to being in the airport. >> so first, we actually find a table and once we know what we want a sit-down we go to the

neighborhoods in san francisco and other people seminary of the retail let us know about the rain water and are excited to have the local operators in the airport. >> we have to go going through the conceive selective process and they award a lease to the restaurant. >> they are planning on extending. >> we that you could out the china and the length evens and the travel serve and fourth your minds and it's all good. >> how long for a vendor to move through the process. >> i would say it could take 80 up to a year from the time we go out to bid until they actually open a restaurant. >> i don't know what we signed
