another meeting. >> okay. yes, one final clarification that appeal process you mentioned is almost at it's end. we are waiting for a date to be imminent. one final personal not. today earlier today rom was introduced to you came to hss from my client from ebt. he is the consummate professional. i just wanted to say that you are all very lucky to have him with you. >> thank you for that affirmation. again, i would ask those issues be attended to by our counsel for the board and we can come back to have a

more informed and final discussion on what our next step would be. >> it will be done. >> all right. thank you. >> can i clarify, when you ask about cost, are you asking about cost to the health system or the city and county? >> both. any cost that might be related. somebody has to pay the bill. either we are paying it, taxpayers are paying it, somebody is paying it. we need to have an assessment of what it's going to cost. if it's us it's another factor in our decision making i would assume at some future point. okay, so that was a discussion item. madam secretary, please. city clerk: item 9. discussion item, legislative update on california budget. director dodd. >> i think i already gave you that update but i did forget to point out that on october 1st supervisors

ferrell is convening a meeting which 4-5 experts in the area of health economics are coming together for 4 hours to look at what we can do in terms of transparency and what we can't do and what if there are barriers for us to what we would have to do to move those barriers. >> what is the date, time, location? >> 1-5:00 p.m.. the location is somewhere in city hall. it's a public meeting. so the public can come, but the public will not be participating in the discussion. it's a deliberative committee looking for academic information and discussing things and hopefully coming up with the information that the board of supervisors requested over a year ago. it's taken a long time to put this committee together. but it's relevant to that. it should have been part of my

report. i apologize. >> okay. thank you. anything else on this discussion item about the managed care organizations tax and bills related to that. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed.. we will now go to item 10. city clerk: item 10, action item approval section 125 cavity -- cafeteria plan updates. >> good afternoon, >> chief operating officer director of the health services. the board has asked to review the changes for the cafeteria plan document for 2016. they are summarized here just a couple of changes section appendix d section d 52. we are updating the value for the flex credits that employees who are

eligible for the cafeteria plan get to volunteer benefits. under bi all city and county employees reflect employees are listing the rates there which is $103, $349 if you are a member plus one and $599 if you are a family team conferred and increased to $780 for family members enrolled in blue shield and city planning. that's the first change. the second change on appendix e 1 and 2, it's simply updating on page e 1 updating our third party at strar on health care and dependent care. january 2016 that will be p & a. that has been updated on page e 1. page 2, we have updated the name for

the insurer's for the universal life insurance and short-term disability, this is for employees for the management cafeteria plan. this is voluntary benefits. the name is boya. in addition we were adding one additional volunteer benefit for 2016 for the cafeteria plan and that is life lock. so that summarizes the changes for the cafeteria document. >> any questions about these changes? >> i move we approve the changes. >> a point of discussion. i would like to have you remind me again why we have to do this level of detail in this matter? >> for the plan documents? >> for this particular plan document ? >> it's a section 125 plan.

there are regulations so we have to make public the changes that we do to those particular plan documents and particular plans. with board approval because the board rules over the health services and any changes that we make to those types of plan documents need to be approved. that's my understanding. >> director? >> i sit on two other board and we have to approve the section 125 every year. so i think it's just a federal rule and we want to be in compliance. when i came, our section 125 document hadn't been updated for 19 years. and we spent a lot of money through the city attorney with outside counsel going line byline, comma by comma to update it. now there is a real effort

to keep it absolutely up to date. >> all right. thank you for reminding me of our joint duty. appreciate it. any board comment or questions? >> just maybe one. what does pma stand for? >> it's a great question because when we finally signed the contract i said why are you calling yourself pma. wage works made sense because it has to do with wages. the answer is the name of the two officials that founded the company. >> it's a third party. >> yes. they are essentially replacing wage workers. >> does that apply to online and processes in >> yes. they might even provide swipe cards. so it was a lower bid

and better serviced. >> all right. is there any other question, is there any public comment? is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we are ready to vote all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? passed. city clerk: item 11, action item. vote on whether to cancel october 8, 2015, regular health services board meeting due to open enrollment. director dodd? >> in the past the board has given us a little leeway. this is going to be for medical retirees. the preparation for these board meetings may seem like we do this effortlessly, but it does require over a week of several executive time to put this

material together. i'm hoping you you will grant us free time to let us focus on open enrollment. >> any questions by the members of the board? >> i move that we cancel the october 8th, board meeting. >> is there a second? >> second. >> it's been properly moved and seconded that we cancel the october 8th, board meeting. any questions, is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed.. we are ready to vote. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? . so ordered. city clerk: item 12. action item. vote on whether to cancel november 12, 2015, regular health services board meeting and hold strategic update and forum. >> we have board evaluation and rather than call it strategic planning we are calling it a forum to set the environment. the list keeps growing of what we are going to cover in a

4-hour period. so it would be the same date and time as the board meeting but a more informal setting for the board members to discuss issues and that might impact what we are going to do. issues whether or not what are we doing in terms of specialty drugs and what that environment looks like and issues about compliance. we've been approached about adding coverage for surrogates of same sex couples. there is quite a list that we can fill 4 hours discussing. >> will this be open to the public ? >> it's a public meeting. anytime you gather together, it's a public meeting, but you will be able to decide whether you want the public to comment.

>> right. and we are going to director and myself along with others on this board will provide input to provide the agenda and we can't boil the ship here. even if we start at 12:00, we still can't cover everything. so the hope is that we can begin to try to look jond -- beyond just the renewal cycle but also take that into account as we shake these topics. it's not going to be everything even though we might want to spend a day doing that. we are going to try to shape this in a way that can inform what we are doing in this next renewal cycle and take a longer term view. some of the issues have been highlighted. i have a passion about getting some clarity from our council around our role, our fiduciary

role as a board now that we are fully constituted as we've got all the appoint easy and here for more than 1 year in terms of our terms so we can really cover that as a baseline publically and understand it and there will be other related issues. that's the intent of the meeting and i'm ready to entertain any other questions or motion. >> i move we cancel the november 12, 2015, board meeting to hold the strategic update forum. >> is there a second. >> second. >> it's been properly moved and seconded that the november 12th meeting regular health services board meeting be canceled and instead we hold a strategic update and forum at the same time that the board would normally meet. any questions from the board? the location would be here at city hall

at this location. yes. in this room. just to clarify. any other questions or comments? public comment? can you come to the microphone please. you have to move over to one more and then take your time to pull the microphone towards you. there you are. >> my name is diane -- you ehrlich. it would be here at 1:00? >> yes. we just don't have sufficient time to try to cover everything in that amount of time even if we were to start at noon time we wouldn't have time to cover everything. thank you for your query. any other questions? is there any

additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we are now ready to vote. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? city clerk: item 13. discussion item, report on network and health plan issues if any. >> are there any health plan representative that wish to make comments to us? please come forward. there are some. >> hi, my name is jennifer ma goon at united health care, i wanted to introduce sharon has. he is replacing nicole donor. >> you adequately presented a case for another option last year during the renewal cycle. i hope we'll have pleasure maybe seeing something from you again as we come forward to this renewal cycle. that's not to

prejudge this outcome. i know how this board felt when i voted in opposition when i was supposed to vote yes. in any event. thank you and welcome. >> thank you. >> are there any other health plan representative present that wish to make any comment? none. all right. city clerk: item 14, discussion item, opportunities to place items on future agendas? >> i would like to take the occasion to at least announce the meeting that will be coming up in the next couple of weeks . i think i highlighted that we'll be having a governance committee meeting on september 22nd, from 10:00 a.m. until noon. the governance committee meeting in this room from 10:00 a.m. until noon. we will be undertaking several

of the duties of the governance committee related to the evaluation of our executive director. i'm talking about processes, now. not the actual evaluation. i'm sure the director understand what the process of the executive directors evaluation. the process regarding the board evaluation. then we made a commitment to a climate survey for the employees within the department. those are some of the broad issues we'll be talking about a that the meeting at 10:00 a.m., september 22nd. in this room. city clerk: item 15. discussion item for the public to comment on any matters on the board's jurisdiction. >> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. city clerk: item 16, action

>> >> okay. i would like to call

to order the vision zero's meeting for thursday, september 10th. our chair is on her way. we wanted to get started and be respectful of people's time. >>supervisor norman yee: the clerk today is steve stamos. i would like to thank staff from sf govtv, charles and bill dylan for recording each one of these meetings and making available the recordings to the public. i'm so used to seeing madam

farrell, commissioner mar, absent. commissioner yee. minutes passes. item 3. vision zero progress report. information item. >> good afternoon, supervisors. happy to be here today to talk about our progress towards the education, engineering, evaluation and policy goals of vision zero. can we put the powerpoint up. >> we'll start with the overview of our accomplishment of vision zero. we've had a lot of great accomplishments and project

delivery. most have -- visibly. the restrictions on market street at the most danger dangerous -- intersections and we continue with other bus lanes and we are currently working on a comprehensive evaluation looking at safety issues, traffic congestion, transit performance and proposals. it a really exciting project and i'm happy to report that project which we legislated and we are going to turn long before the school year. now upper market street, with

crosswalks and including some no turn. that was implemented on august 20th. and we have lots of great features for cyclist and motorist as well. we have 17 of the 24 projects that we promised to get done. we are on our way delivering before our deadline of january 16th. the project continues to accelerate and as we start to close out that first generational project we are working cross over to different agencies to define the next generation of projects. by end of 2015 we will have touched 20 miles of san

francisco and we have far exceeded that for 2015 which is great and we are saying what are we going to be able to accomplish in the years to come. so even if we had 23, for 2015 we have miles to be treated and because we have put in a safety treatment under those 20 miles, doesn't mean that we solve all the safety problems there. we continue to monitor the impact and effectiveness of the work we've done and look for opportunities to make some projects more robust going forward. we also know that while over 70% of fatalities are on the network, most of the street mileage in the cities are off the network and we have to address that other 30% to continue to work on more community based projects around everything from schools,

request driven for traffic calming and daylighting and sidewalks and building pedestrian safety features and just about every project that mta does. we've been reviewing our capital program to see where what's the extent of that commitment. there is over 160 projects within the mta capital program that have some kind of vision zero pedestrian traffic with safety impact. those are capital projects like bulb outs and projects that does not even include the thousands of intersection signal tweaks, crosswalk paintings that we paint every year. secondly we are working really hard to continue to improve our coordination with other entities who are doing construction here in the city. so we've got a really nice

process going with public works where we are coordinating at the staff level to ensure any projects on the energy network to include as many features as possible and starting to expand that project with cal trans and parts with and other operators and public utilities commission and adequate lighting at intersections. many of the crashes have a variety of causes and often people are reporting they are unable to see each other at night. we are exploring ways which we can both through they are work and pg & e's work to bring better visibility and better lighting to crosswalks and traffic areas. >>

>>supervisor jane kim: have those intersections been identified as the lighting is less than it should be for visibility? >> that's a good question and a question we are trying to answer right now with a good ask for our partners. this is what we want to come back and talk about more in the future. a couple more things i want to highlight in the engineering and project delivery areas. we issued the first general obligation bonds. a half billion voted to support in prop a last year and $6 million of those dollars is going towards pedestrian safety projects. another $5 million prop b general fund revenues are going to support both pedestrian and traffic safety projects. so the decisions that the voters made in 2014 are already bearing fruit to $11 million

for a quick delivery of high priority projects. in addition, we already have about 10 miles of corridors that have been approved and approved by the mta board and in construction or construction is under way or are complete. there is over 100 pedestrian safety bulbs in these projects. it's the first 10 miles. so, another topic we want to be talking about this in the future. there is a huge piece of that prop a that in investors supported last year and just the traffic investment and getting as many safety improvements on the street as we can as part of those investments. finally we are doing some really transformative projects beginning construction in 2016. sonic avenue complete street and second street and

polk street. so it would be great to see the public works department breaking ground with all of those projects in 2016. moving over to education. we are going to have a much more detailed review of the safe street sf evaluation later in the agenda. so i just want to highlight a couple of the targeted safety campaigns we have under way right now. we have completed and released the largest vehicle driving safety video of truckers to operate safely on congested streets in san francisco. you can find it on our vision zero sf youtube channel and cable cars and operators as passengers are struck by vehicles. we are working with all the police districts around the city to

distribute flyers in the residential neighborhoods in san francisco and especially to customers and hotel visitors telling them how to safely drive and navigate cars around the cable cars. we also have a bicycle safety campaign focused on the very serious issue of right turns striking cyclist at intersections and this campaign focuses on instructing drivers so they don't strike cyclist and at the same time cyclist do pass turning vehicles on the left so they do not turn on blind spots. we have funding in place in the safety program that we've talked about at previous hearings and we have the walk to school day on october 7th, which we are all looking forward to. the last piece education update is some really good news about the budget. 3 months we came and talked

about the need for target for funding for education and we are really thankful to everyone who through the process, the mayor's budget process and through your own advocacy brought together $765,000. we are going to be releasing that in the rfp next week and taking the money that everyone here was able to prioritize and put together and immediately get the rfp out on the street to get the campaign going. that concludes engineering and education. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you. anything from community members? >> i want to apologize for getting to the meeting late. i want to

thank you for the report. the 34th and king is good to know. that is what residents asked for. my one follow up question would be for getting a sense of the next 24 projects would be? i do want to congratulations sf mta for coming close and before the two yoors time to be on pace to complete the 24 projects in 24 months. that is very appreciated and of course we want to keep that successful piece going. i would love to get a sense of the second generation will be. >> that will be something we can come back to ta about. >> great. seeing no further questions. >> i will turn it over to mr. maddox who will go over the enforcement part.

>> good afternoon, supervisors. i gave this presentation last night to the police commission and what i did was report it out on the second quarter of 2015. the numbers look great. if you remember the first quarter at 15% and now at 32%. as you can see the number of the tactical division skew the active. they are primary and only function is crime prevention. not that collisions are not a traffic crime, but they don't focus on the five like the other units do. so again, the growth was great between the first and second quarter as you can see and we are on par to issue the same amount of citations as last

year. not only are they drilling down on the top five collision factors, speeding, red light and failure to yield to pedestrians and they are continuing to issue the high number of citations as last year which was the most in recorded history. what we have here is by mode, a slight change here as well. we focus primarily on vehicles because they do the most damage in any kind of collision. last year we were at 96%, auto, 3% ped and less than 1% bikes and the change is 97 to 1. this slide as well. red light cameras are way down because of the construction and the red lights will be replaced after the construction

is done and you can see the focus on the 5 of 28%. stop signs, the first quarter i told you that in some districts stop signs are not even applicable. that's the only drop we see. we see a huge increase and which is catastrophic in a collision. and here we just have another graph showing where we are focusing on the 5 and the growth we see on those five categories. okay. this graph again shows focusing on the 5 by station. you can see the growth. southern station, don't discount the work they do there because the traffic company primarily covers the

southern district. don't lose outed of the fact that the traffic company has daily assignments if you want to call it that. monday through friday they are doing a block to box enforcement and they are doing the transit only enforcement. that kind of takes away from their five. if we backed out, the traffic companies special operation enforcement they are almost at 60% focusing on 5 and they primarily cover the southern district. the southern looks low where they are but they get the bull >>commissioner omar -- bulk of the traffic enforcement. the pie chart shows where we focus our efforts and speed, mta will put the information to speed factor and collisions and with a big light

ar program and our officers will be trained on how to use the device and we'll be doing a lot of speed enforcement. this is in anticipation of maybe some day going to automated speed enforcement. until that point we are doing it ourselves. the pie chart demonstrates where we are focusing. the fatalities by mode here -- year to date in the second quarter, we are at 14 whereas 2014 we were at 16. you can see how there was nobody killed drive a vehicle in that quarter, the first half of the year there. were three motorcyclist killed, two bicyclist, seven pedestrians and two others. i can explain that if you want. i was asked to speak about the parking

control officer enforcement. supervisor wiener was able to get us to write more citations for traffic flow throughout the city. they are at 300%. this is information provided by dpt >>supervisor jane kim: when i read intersection grid lock i assumed it was the block box program. this is actually the double parking? >> this is double parking and block the box. the example was double parking because many commercial corridors and thoroughfares throughout the city and the department. >> what are the actual numbers? >> 300%? >> when you say the citations went up 300%, what are the actual

numbers? >> there is going to be a more detailed presentation. we are excited we have six more schools coming on board with the school crossing program. >> supervisor yee? >>supervisor norman yee: i'm excited too. >> any other questions about enforcement? >>supervisor norman yee: in regards to the citations to the pedestrians, do you have a way to break it down? were they crossing against red lights, i'm just curious in terms of what we see, with bad behavior? >> we have the data. i can break it down from traffic company only. i can't break it out from the different stations. i don't have a literal number in front of me but jaywalking

is predominantly it and with fatalities involved are jaywalking. i can get back to you with the numbers. >> that would be appreciated. >>supervisor jane kim: any other questions. mine was the same which was on the pedestrian tickets and i noticed that the tenderloin has the most significant numbers of pedestrian tickets at 21% whereas most other stations are below 6%, 3%. i imagine that's something that i can talk to the captain about and i know we have a lot of jaywalking in the tenderloin and over 90% of residents don't have cars and i was really curious about that number and the motivation for the time of that data point. >> right, and the officers are

walking a lot down there too. that could be the nexus as well. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you very much for this presentation. i'm still absorbing all the numbers here. it seems there has been a tremendous effort on all the parts on the number of violations that will lead hopefully to more safety on our streets and change driver behavior. that's really xreeshtd. -- appreciated. i want to ask if you are getting help with this data. single family house -- >> we are getting help through other traffic agencies and we gave a presentation to the police commission. that will help a lot. >> the data is very

appreciated. also want to emphasize we don't want it all to fall on your plate. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners megan wiers with department of public health. i want to continue the presentation. with an update on the evaluation and policy pieces of vision zero. we are happy to be here with the evaluation on the streets sf and working on the comprehension surveillance street information system and it's procured and working on that linkage so

far and working on the data. the data from the hospital as well as the crossroads data from the police department and we'll be bringing all of those pieces together and summary of the severe injury data of the general hospital was reported earlier at the task force meeting. we also are working to expand transbay as the central repository for vision zero and working with the planning department to get feedback and help educate more staff about it as a resource and figure out how it can be more useful and what other interfaces we can incorporate in the next iteration to help ensure that data for vision zero to move forward.

we were also asked to present at the june 2015 national health impact meeting in washington d.c. and the grant for the model practice. >> we have a question from commissioner mar? >>supervisor eric mar: can you walk us through transbay.org is? >> it's a spatial analytic. a lot of the data that we have in san francisco thanks to initiative like data sf has data that can be readily mapped. what transbay does is brings data about intersection and links the data on the character institution -- characteristics of our streets and the

information from the census and a lot of data that help us provide for a context of where our injuries happen. >> is there a gis system for health equity from noise to accidents to other impacts especially in low income areas? it overlaps like other systems that we use? >> it brings in a lot of data from the san francisco indicator project that you mentioned. however the san francisco indicator project that typically a small level, it brings data ready to go analysis for people ready to go analysis you can download the entire data and do it and has some really user friendly interfaces that we are happy to share. we will continue our outreach. so if you go on the site, there is maps readily available

for example you can do injury maps in the city and then another way that is unique but it's really been an organic collaborative project across other agencies. so we began to develop it through pedestrian strategies and continued to grow and be institutionalized was also developed with all over data and open software. so it's essentially created from software online to be shared with other city. for example los angeles is replicating transbay in their collaboration with dot and we are able to share with other jurisdictions pretty much the nuts and bolts of how it's used. the key input to walk first. the walk first analysis was conducted with transbay with back end data. >> with open source data, it's not controlled by a private

company, but it's something that is accessible to everybody and non-profits to walk sf can access and utilities -- utilize this safety sure -- measure? >> correct. >> also we'll be presenting more detailed information later in this meeting and continue to see the momentum with vision zero and los angeles including san jose. we had four delegates from san jose and director of dot that came to the task force meeting this week to learn about what we are doing and how we can partner. san diego and san mateo and at the federal level the u.s. congress of mayor's submitted a resolution to support the goal of

vision zero submitted by mayor's including mayor lee including 270 mayor's which is included in the packet and sf dot which is the national city of transportation officials and on going peer exchange regarding vision zero across the country. that concludes our progress report. are there any other questions? >>supervisor jane kim: no questions. thank you very much. that concludes the report for item no. 3. at this time we'll take public comment on this item. public speaker: good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, my name is roger basely, the transportation advocate for san francisco. i team up with legislators and pta and other organizations

to get improvements. i think to say it shortly we are strong in infrastructure improvements the last 2 years which has made me happy and made this city much more comfortable to walk but we had a population and business exploitation which has taken some of those improvements by shear congestion and management issues. stad of -- instead of hitting on the cars, the cars are not able to see in the daytime and not on areas where they should be and that includes people from europe in other places. i have seen families with kids without helmets and ride roads which are so narrow like bay avenue and

fisherman. wharf area. even if we can't legislate or regulate that. i'm for that. where it's recommended to wear a helmet and deflected material to ride a bike. that should be handled to all areas because it's a problem. i noticed the motorcycles are up 50%, sadly, my daughter had to as transportation was not running on the 19th avenue where san francisco state area where she lives. she moved back to san francisco with one of the new high tech start ups and on that side of the city there is no transportation

and she made a bad decision of buying a motorcycles and she got hit and into a tree. supervisor mar knows -- her well. we had to purchase a car and it's shared between the two of us. she had a two 1/2 hour commute each way. what i was going to try to regulate as the commuter buses go through they have a lot of seats and serve the under served areas of the city. as a policy i would like to see by a ticket that my daughter wouldn't have to be forced to buy a car. thank you very much. >>supervisor jane kim: just to

keep in mind, i thought it was the first bell, but it was the second. thank you. public speaker: good afternoon, supervisors. i'm charles -- on behalf of the taxi company. i'm here to give credit where it's due. the mta and taxi services division has been working with the taxi industry to help us improve our driver safety standards beginning very shortly as we renew our taxi driver permits we will all view a pedestrian safety video which i have had a chance to preview which is very effective and emotionally powerful video. we will expect it will have a positive effect on driving behavior. so we are absolutely delighted with the mta work to approve our safety operations and the driver

training we conduct ourselves. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you and it's also great to hear from those watching the video and getting feedback. thank you very much for coming to comment on our education program. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, can we call the next item. 92 city clerk: item 4. it stops here campaign evaluation results. information item. >> >> john, nox from the san francisco transportation agency. it's very good to be here.

first to discuss san francisco it stops here campaign. we've been here a few times through the development of the program and to pass on what we think is pretty good news for the evaluation. secondly i think this is a great time to be able to celebrate the amazing work that our department of public health did in doing this evaluation. for me a take away beyond what we learned about the program was just kind of the level of effort that's being put into looking at our programs and making sure we are doing good work here and as somebody that's looked at evaluations and pedestrian safety and media across the country as we look at all the efforts through this. i think it's important at the beginning of this discussion to call out how much work they did and what a national level that work is

done. so, obviously this vision zero committee. i don't need to tell you what vision zero is. this is recentering why we are here to reduce fatalities and people who die on the streets and people who love them around them. the safe streets san francisco campaign with partnerships with the department of public health and police department and walk san francisco. we also worked with four community partners. fortunately we have three of them here and cdc with the san francisco conservation corp who provide outreach for the areas we are working in. this is a long term, we've talked a lot about education strategy about this being a long term. this is a short-term strategy. we talked about 3 months media and 2 months force

enforcement. -- we have seen some positive enforcement here and we will continue to see some pretty solid citywide outcomes. the billboards and four key corridors. gary and mission streets. it was talking to drivers about focus groups that help us identify there is a lot of confusion about what is a crosswalk, if it's marked or unmarked for crosswalks and secondly who has the right-of-way for the crosswalks. the drivers felt confident they were doing everything they could to keep people safe however we are doing more if we can give them better direction and help them understand to make things

safe. they are very clear they didn't want to share the road message and didn't want to be told to slowdown because they are not supposed to be driving fast but a more directive campaigns and focus groups designed to help them understand that they should stop before the crosswalk. the campaign itself was multifaceted and multi-pronged which started in october of last year and billboards going up at the bay bridge crossing as well as the major corridors leading to mission and the aspects which had over time police officers down on these four corridors doing extra and intensive violation enforcement from october through february of this year.

we were working with our community partners between january and march of this year to speak to not just drivers on the corridors but pedestrians and we wanted to make sure we were speaking to all people involved in the interactions, not just trying to point to one single person we also believed very strongly that people who are walking they are often people who have driven to an area and when we are addressing to them as pedestrians we are able to discuss driver behavior even at that very moment. >>supervisor jane kim: i'm sorry, john, you mentioned at the beginning which quarter. i only heard kearney. >> geary and mission. >> thank you. were there specific portions of geary and mission?

>> yes. mission was from 101 to 20th street. geary was up about 4 blocks either side of third street, i believe. part of the evaluation before we go ahead to the dph side. we did surveys of people who drive regularly through the city. it was defined as a few times a month. driving whether they were san francisco residents driving throughout city. we did that to identify the message of what people wanted to hear. we had the focus groups etc and we went back and did another survey panel after the fact to find out whether there were people seeing the message we had our there and any changes to the

rules. what we found 44% of the surveyed had seen the pedestrian message and these were people from throughout the city and not just people that lived on or near the corridor but from all corridors of the city. all of the people who had seen the message they were much more confident in the understanding of what the rules were related to what is a crosswalk, that unmarked crosswalks are also legal crosswalks and pedestrians had the right-of-way to the crosswalk and even the small 2 months window of marketing we can have an impact of reaching quite a few people across the city and we can communicate meaning fully the rules of the road, etc. i'm going to invite megan up here now to talk about the on street evaluation. thank you.

>> to dive into evaluation it was a 43-week evaluation. we are looking specifically at drivers yielding to pedestrians. at the right of the slide you can see the different phases. we start out with a pretest before any intervention broken down to corridors and the buses media and the more massive media campaign and enforcement only and the grass roots corridors and when the campaign ended and we had field staff at the intersections. we had driver's for two 1/2 hours each week assessing the drivers

yielding protocol to the national high safety measures and the unc. we are specifically looking at four targeted intersection for interventions and control and are vehicle yieldings to pedestrians to the walk safety to the pedestrian signals. all were pedestrian count down signals where they were all signalized and specifically driver turning. we have fillmore, barton and oh farrell and mission and south van ness and 24th with the mission and 20. the control intersections are very important for this evaluation.

if we can do a good match essentially they help us become confident and it wasn't just some trend over time and true intervention. matching them as best we could with all the factors on the left. this is an example where all of this data was with data analyst and selected the best intersections and we drove around the city for 5 hours to make sure they were a good match. for the evaluation analysis i'm going to describe two different approaches looking at this data looking at what happened at the intervention sites and for the period and how can we compare the two. the intervention sites what we saw is over the phases a gradual but

significant where the green boxes indicate where it was significant relative to the pretest in crease in driver yielding at the intervention sites. overall approximately 3- 4% increase across those sites. >> what was interesting when we looked at the control sites we did not see that pattern. essentially none of the findings were significant at control until the test where it was decreased. during the first two stages it was relatively stable and when we got to the enforcement regroup outreach started to decline as some of our control sites. so, when we looked at the overall changes in free test rates versus the different phases what we saw was significant increases in the intervention sites relative to

the control sites in the desired direction over time and throughout the period. you know, the percent increases even larger than what we saw when we are just looking at intervention pretest compared to our control sites because of that decline that they were seeing during the same period. so what does that overall mean? we saw 3- 4% increase and looking at relative to control sites driving rates were significantly higher in a positive direction. what does this really mean? at all the intervention sites at 84% at present test and post test 84% which sounds relatively high to begin with. but when we think of san francisco and the number of people crossing

at any intersection and drivers at peak periods we see a higher number of injuries. this is a lot of yielding and yielding to pedestrians and failure to yield is the number one cause of injuries to pedestrians in our city. in the study there is approximately 60 opportunities for yielding to pedestrians at crosswalk. but at the 200 crosswalk in our high injury network where someone is injured due to lack of yielding, it's almost 14,000 opportunities for drivers to yield in a commute hour. it's essentially 400 more drivers yielding at peak commute to pedestrians. this is important because it's these kinds of conflicts that result in injuries to people

walking and worst case scenario, death. so i wanted to just acknowledge the work of the dph team on this are deven morris and staff tracy and adam who spent a lot of time at these corridors and made sure they can do this work. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you, any questions or comments on this presentation? commissioner yee? no. i actually wasn't aware this was done. it's interesting to see. we often ask whether these efforts are making a difference even though they should be. it was great to see there was an improvement on these corridors. i'm really curious and you might have mentioned it really quickly in the beginning and i missed it how you picked what you thought were

comparable interactions. >> sure. we looked at the factors on the left. where there is a signal. all of these factors. and then picked the intersection that matched the most comparable and intervention intersection and went out to the field and drove around. >> interesting. i would not think that larkin and oh farrell are comparable intersection like folsom and mission. >> i know it was really challenging because what we didn't want to do was get an intersection too close to the intervention intersection because then there is likely an effect of the intervention proximate but i would be happy to share more detail about what the matching factors were. >> i think this is great and i

think in pure numbers when you broke it down not just by percentages but actually seeing the numbers of improved behavior among the drivers on these corridors, it's good to know the effort achieving outcomes. >> we were really happy with the findings. >> commissioner mar? >> >>supervisor eric mar: i wanted to add that geary and lark well intersection where a woman was killed. i'm glad that that intersection is being looked at because the institute on aging and bridge housing and corner theatre housing where seniors are and there is a roosevelt middle school there. i have a question about safe street for seniors and they have focused

on attention where large numbers of seniors mixed in with middle schoolers. i know the age really well because of my daughters failure to look where she is going and looking at the iphone like many adults do but i know for middle schoolers that's a chronic problem but for data and yielding positive behavior. are we also thinking about behavior of pedestrians and how we sometimes contribute to dangerous situations not only bicyclist and motorist as well. >> do you want to address that? >> sure. there is two ways to answer that question. with the grant written it really did focus mostly on the driver behavior. most of the effort was done towards educating drivers. we did have, i'm not going to say

student specific outreach in this campaign but with did have folks in san francisco in that area with pamphlets that talked about this area and they were outdoing some of the school walking. i can't guarantee that they spent time talking to students but i did talk to people about that. in our education strategy for vision zero we did identify an annual campaign, we are looking for funding for it, but for on going education. obviously we have the safe routes for school program and the safe routes for seniors program and from the department

of public health department is leading that and is at homesick today. we are looking to work with walk san francisco and others and obviously avoiding any type of shaming message. but if 1/3 of collisions out are there not driver at fault we have some work to talk to people, a about good behavior or following the rules so they are not at fault when they get hit and walking that line of giving people information about how to walk safely even if it's not their fault. as a father with two high school kids i talk to them all the time about that. it doesn't matter if you are right if you are dead, right? it's important to talk to those kids. >> i know not only geary intersection but there is one where park

preacid -- presidio boulevard where they are looking at their device and i know there is a need for education not only of drivers and bicyclist and pedestrians. hopefully as we get more funding for broader education efforts it's targeted at good behavior as well. >> absolutely. going back to the budget as well, there is 120 ,000 on that outreach personnel and if there are areas that we know as the intersection we are mentioned is one of them for the people in the community to do some of the outreach that is what we are doing for this year as we are developing some of the longer term strategy. >> commissioner, yee?

>>supervisor norman yee: just curious, now that you have the data and you are seeing what the results are, in these pilot areas. what is the implication for the citywide campaign in regards to how we would use this information to improve safety? >> i think and in seeing the results we are really encouraged for the potential for education targeted towards enforcement to have a significant impact particularly as the short-term strategies that are easier to get into the ground. i think with the increased funding for education with targeted enforcement this year we'll continue to develop targeted information to develop the speed campaign. but i think this is

really helping increase everyone's confidence that instead of having that impact on a larger cultural change that needs to happen for vision zero and focusing on those corridors where it was targeting education and targeted enforcement. i think the findings can be extrapolated to how those efforts can make an impact. >> when it's targeted it's one thing, but are you going to do this and making an attempt to go citywide with this and there are probably a lot of places where the corridors are not as bad but they can be bad because people are not yielding for instance. so how can we get the information out there. what are the strategies? >> i think i'm turning to john for that response. >> so i think we have already one of the things we did even after

this, once the evaluation was done, we have as we discussed in the education strategy rebranded this campaign to vision zero and you can still see some of the ads on the tails of the buses in san francisco. that translated itself into immediate conversation and specifically citing those ads in the media. in terms of, we are working very hard and even actually using this report to use the lessons we are learning in the roll out of these campaigns to get the media to pick up on some of the important lessons to driver yielding and what are the rules to broadcast that throughout the city for anti-speeding campaign. we

have a bigger budget and that was designed to have a much bigger citywide focus. it will still have some focus corridors and we'll do some additional corridors on the high injury network where speed is an issue but we are rolling that out as a more citywide campaign with a more specialized focus aspect to it. it's a hard question to answer because we are going to be looking for the money to continue this to roll it out citywide but we are spending this year and that's what the program development and strategy development money line item in the budget that we showed earlier is for. >> thank you. >> thank you very much for this presentation. i also want to acknowledge. sf mta for helping to fund it stops here with the $1

million transportation grant and also want to make sure we are contributing to the transportation campaign and we talked about prioritizing and committed training videos as well. we are happy to have the funding available to make this a reality. at this time we are going to open up for public comment on this item. public speaker: roger baysly. we found when i was a member and very involved in the pta, mtc ped and bike and san francisco community. the dhs at the state level and san francisco walks and cal trans on safety psa's, we found the most effective when we ran the campaign in san francisco was the back of the bus. it gets the most directed

targeted eyes, if you have to sit there on the back of the bus you are going to see that message no matter what you do. as a call back i would say cvs on that. if you do bikes, in most corridors you are targeting your budget. the other things out of the box which i see in japan and europe. the message on board in muni buses, have some safety message on those corridors that come up with a one or two sentences. please be careful crossing the street. because the most dangerous accidents is when a person rushes out of a bus and rushes across that blind spot on the bus. the second idea i had out of the box for us since this is a city with social networking is a safety app which can be done on the iphone. if you pass something in the store and it pops up on

your iphone, there is no reason that something pops up that says this is a high fatality or high risk area, a lot of traffic congestion. be careful. you know, somethings like that. there is always tons of stuff coming out of our area. i think we are going to discuss what state relationships and partnerships. i will leave that ramps for that. there is a couple of ideas. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you very much. much appreciated. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, can we please call the next item. city clerk: item 5. update on opportunities to advance vision zero with state agencies. this is an

information item. >> we are interested in providing an update regarding the work that vision zero staff has been doing to advance the state level issues which we though are very important for achieving our goal by 2024. your packet included the summary of the afternoon workshop we had in april 14th of this year.w our federal and state officials and some of the key issues that were identified in that as opportunities to continue to collaborate to advance vision

zero. so i just wanted to highlight some of those key findings and kate is going to talk about more with respect to citywide collaboration to advance these issues. so just a refresher the meeting included the national highway traffic and safety administration and traffic and safety and there is a day long summit. we had the morning speaker session and walking tour workshop and these are identified in the afternoon workshop which included targeted engineering improvement. key issues included a design standard not being appropriate for urban contacts, the issue of local urban review and cal trans and how environmental review to stream line project support delivery and with respect to data driven practice with key issues with

having more timely and complete data. expanding the data collection. on our state highway forms so we are collecting more information about pedestrians and fatalities and agenda for the evaluation of novt iv engineering counter measures and we talked about supportive funding and all of these workshops were led by

vision zero local leads and how we can seek new funding from state and federal agencies and how funding can be refined to support vision zero and stream lined to support more application for projects for vision zero and quick turn around for getting things in the ground. finally with respect to issues of funding came up again. the state really pointed out opportunity for locals to being more involved in the california strategic highway safety plan that includes a number of areas to specifically address vision zero and the need to address a statewide to support vision zero's goals and policies. >> thanks, megan. good afternoon commissioners. brieflily there is a lot

of words out there and a lot to do. following that april meeting with the office of traffic safety where we did find sort of this enthusiastic partnership. we did have a meeting in sacramento this july. we invited seven of the large cities in california together not just to talk about vision zero but look to other ways where california can have their voice better leveraged at the state level. we have the league of california cities but the larger voice is missing in the conversations when the cities get together. they spent the afternoon talking about vision zero and in the grounding of vision zero there is we have realized there is an opportunity to advance this at the state level for a policy agenda. that's included in

your action strategy and includes things such as advancing automated speed enforcement which san jose has told us it's on their policy for sacramento and what opportunities my exist for that policy change at the state level. in addition to that, i think we have a good opportunity for our partnership with the california state transportation agency all the way from secretary kelly and some of his deputies, secretary kate white who have proven to be great partners for us towards the state's zero death policy for the city's who have adopted vision zero policy and improvements to project delivery and funding eligibility and timelines for investments. the last thing in terms of what we are

doing in terms of spreading the word for collaboration is really through a peer exchange at the national level. even this week which has had a very effective conversation with the city of portland through the legislature just enacted in the speed enforcement program, there are other cities across the country that i'm sure you are aware of, seattle, new york, chicago, denver have all successfully advanced in automated speed enforcement and learning what's worked. it's different in every jurisdiction and trying to move that forward to keep the ball moving. in terms of next steps, let's see what we've got here. some of these are referenced in the summary included in your packet. i will just highlight some of those here. stream lining and oversight we are hoping to use lombardy street with project delivery what that means is we want to make the complete streets

improvements in that corridor before cal trans comes in for general paving of that corridor. we don't want to delay the opportunities and take advantage of that investment corridor now. another example is seeking to stnd the ground cycle for ground transportation program. it's 1 year, not a lot of time to build the program and see what the results can be. so looking to extend the grant cycle and another is data collection, working to find ways for the chp's accident collision form to be reported through the data which is what we use to report our accident data and lastly again working with our city partners, with you, with other cities to figure out what our state legislative priorities that we could be advancing in the second year of the current 2-year legislative session. i have to mention that related

to vision zero and related to 1287 to permanently reauthorize the program and that's on the governor's desk and we are hoping he will sign that to law to have the enforcement program to enforce double parking using automated parking. thank you. >>supervisor jane kim: i know we had this conversation prior. how social -- is the transit lane working? >> there are cameras installed on the coaches and those coaches when they are driving in the red carpet lanes or designated traffic only lanes they are able to record double parking violations and they are reviewed by parking control officers who have been doing this since the program started in

2007. they identify those violation and those control officers are able to do that. only two. currently there are two. >> so they go through the video footage for all 400? >> they target the corridors where there is known to be the most violations. cameron is still here. he can speak more in detail about how that works. but in general, they know the corridors where the downtown corridors during the peak where we are seeing the predominance in violations and they focus their downloads of those videos on those corridors. >> okay, before we have cameron come up, i know he's also presenting on the next item. just, i read i think yesterday or very recently about l.a. city council saying with the mayor a new plan to make l.a. more

walkable which i'm very excited about. working with other large cities in california i agree we need to work to get some legislative changes or increase at the state funding level and what the trends you are seeing happen? >> i want to be an optimist to sake the trends are going in the right direction. i think we have some great partners in this large city. it's interesting to reflect that city transportation departments are different in every city which is part of the reason we don't have a single mobilized voice for the transportation department. they are really different. san francisco is unique that it's only the truly multimodal in the state, but having said that, san diego, san jose, l.a. has all adopted this

multimodal information. we are hoping to collaborate. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you. cameron, do you think we can fold in the answer to my question in your presentation? great, thank you. >> hi. i'm with the transportation authority and i want to give you more information in terms of the grant information.

>> i think the slides aren't intentional. i will just speak briefly about it. i want to briefly highlight the work that we are doing with cal trans and the collisions at ramp intersections. >>supervisor jane kim: so we are going into recess of the vision zero subcommittee meeting and entering into a workshop mode.

so, again, to recommence. as part of discussions in scoping our freeway corridor as a way to optimize the efficient use of our freeway system. we were in discussion with sf mta out of that project and out of that

discussion came some interest in trying to address safety at our freeway ramp touchdowns and parallel. these locations as you maybe aware are particularly problematic. there are 70 intersections where the ramps touchdown to our city streets. particularly on so many -- soma. i just loaded a headlines. there is an intersection at 5 and harrison where 4 people were killed. we did a high level analysis that found in general ramp intersection have a high intensity and as i mentioned

this graphic kind of highlights the locations particularly they are clustered in soma around the mission octavia area and maiz and this is a very high level overview of where these locations are popping up in terms of those having a concerning safety record. so we are just very early in the process but we wanted to share an update that we are work to -- to begin this process to come up with a dramatic approach to this intersection. the vision zero doesn't necessarily encompass this. we are starting a two prong approach to look at the locations where a small number of locations where we might make a change and following that to a more in depth approach to longer list to come up with a pipeline of projects to address those

locations and obviously there is a study done focused on the hair ball that we might be able to leverage. we had some initial meetings with mta and hoping to come back to you probably for the next meeting with some additional details. this is an update that we are working on the issue and happy to take any questions. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you, i know the mta is also studying how we can do some congestion management through pricing on the freeway ramps. this is all one study together to look at pedestrian safety and vision zero. >> yes, we are envisioning them as parallel but this is connected. >> this is a really important study. all of us this is really the concern and consternation around the

south of market area and around the freeway is growing and people want to see a response from the city to help address it. i think certainly looking at that along with the vision zero goals is really important. >> thank you. >> thank you, seeing no comments from committee. at this time we'll only for public comment on this item. public speaker: on this area, we worked on the central freeway project and one of the problems was the accidents with the bike lanes crossing an area. also with the issue of schools located throughout the state around off ramping. one of the suggestion with the electronic signs as the vehicles are exiting within the city confines with the slowdown message with pedestrian traffic ahead. speed limits in the city xyz down that corridor and a

rumble strip down from the ramps because sometimes they come straight off the ramps at 60 miles per hour. that 5th within is nasty along the 101 there where they come from the various wide intersections and the pedestrians are crossing and they are not latter or continental styles and the high visibility crosswalks to guide the pedestrians with the most safety spots with the drivers coming off that. i highland recommend that as a methodology. we might have to yield to those coming out. i did send a letter to the couple people at the sf mta about the on and off ramps because i do coast

guard work there which is particularly hazardous to our employees. i did write it out pretty extensively and i too photos at the on and off ramps there. there is on going construction which is part of the problem, butu -- but you have a very short run off at traffic eastbound and you have high speed traffic coming out of the tunnel. i would like to see more work from cal trans and one last thing they are missing the water crash barriers. they are not in there and do you a sharp turn to get into treasure island and it is a cement wall and that is supposed to have barrels of sand to prevent someone from having a fatality. it's a very sharp almost

90-degree turn to get in there. thank you very much. >>supervisor jane kim: great. thank you very much for that feedback. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, can we please call the next item. city clerk: item 6. update on use of parking control officers to support vision zero. this is an information item. >> i know this is a short presentation and actually i'm very interested in it, but it will soon before a briefing of one. so i'm going to suggest is that we actually take a motion to continue this item to the next committee meeting. i'm really sorry. this is a program that's really important to me and i know commissioner wiener as well. but we are not going to have the quorum to be able to hear it. it will still be timely at our next subcommittee meeting and maybe we can also talk about the muni transit

only lane. i'm very curious about that program. i'm going to take a motion to continue this item. we'll do that without objection. thank you, commissioner yee. we will take public comment on this item at this time. this is the last item. if you would like to come and speak. public speaker: i will sum -- it up. one of the probls with the double parking has been the over sidecar lifts. the cabs are good, the taxi cabs one of the problems is going down all the corridors. i found that all of a sudden somebody stops suddenly in front of me and pulls over and you can tell because there is two or three iphones that some of these characters carry. i would like to have a mark of all views of any uber. >> it's not general public

comment. >> i thought you had general public comment. >> this is the last opportunity to make public comment but it has to be a general item. >> this is in target with that. it's a serious problem with those particular operators with double parking. we've always had the trucks with the fedex and ups problem. especially ban on california where you have the cable car corridor and it makes it even more hazardous for people climbing in and out of the cable car. the other thing i just wanted in closing to say is that if we had as far as jaywalking and enforcement in all of those areas if we

can get crosswalks in front of the performing centers, i do want to compliment the zero committee on their work and i have seen great progress in the last 2 years. i really do appreciate it in spite of my comments. but i always try to have a solution to a criticism of something because i'm here really to improve things as usual. one last thing as an enforcement issue with ada i know the government share riding and they have taking away the disabled spots close to the japanese market and things like that. it's been very tough on people with disabilities. >>supervisor jane kim: thank you. >> thank you for commenting on each of our items and also for the construction feedback. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, can we please call the next

item? >> city clerk: item 7. introduction of new items. information item. >>supervisor jane kim: there are no introduction of new items at this time. so, can we please call the next item, please. city clerk: item 8. public comment. >>supervisor jane kim: at this time it is general public comment but i have lost a quorum. since we are here for the sake of the public process, we will hear general public comment. if anyone wants to make general public comment at this time, please come up. public speaker: under public comment i will interrupt to saying in the area, i am really concerned as i have

worked in the japantown area a lot and there is a lot of activity. we need wide crosswalks around the japantown area. there is a lot of interaction in that area. there is a lot of seniors left in that area and there is congestion issues there in the garage it's decimated that area because it's at least $1 to park. it's a very active area and i'm very concerned in the performing art centers here for all the seniors, as you look at the audience it's the ballet and the other things that is 75% senior audience and they are still crossing the streets with lights changing with big crowds. not only that, it's kind of dark in

front of the symphony hall and to the left side and right side especially down the city hall area. i would like to see that taken care of. the red zones, with the restructuring of the streets, i noticed a lot of red zones are now at the current sections which used to be disabled parking and those have disappeared and i have not seen those replaced one for one in this area. those are easier for the disabled person to get that in and out easily. i realize it's for fire department to get in and out. some of the meters need to be checked if they can move them or make an compact spot. thank

you very much. >>supervisor jane kim: great. thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, can we call the final item? city clerk: item 9. adjournment. >>supervisor jane kim: meeting is adjourned. we look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting. thank you. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >>px i'm going to turn it over

to our mayor, mayor ed lee. >> thank you. superintendent very glad to be here an

earthquake shaking first day but i want to congratulate our superintendent. >> school board and emily murase president along with hydra mendosa that works with me and, of course, from the get-go i support the principles and teachers at the el dorado middle school is one of the finest i want to congratulate our teachers for the first day of school and mayor our kids are safe we had an earthquake this morning and all the schools are green and everybody it making sure the aftershocks we're working together as a city and school district thanks it our superintendant i want to graduate the patterns and families for bringing their kids

to a finest public system in the country and in recognition of that we had a u.s. conference of mayors we hosted this summer all the mares got to make sure their entire agenda were on ipads to make sure we went paper less we had a few extras we thought a good cause and purpose to make sure that kids who have special needs particularly in different schools would be the beneficiaries of that so we've made a donation of those i pads to this school and another school as the centers as again, a part of the not only philanthropy of the city but the technology needs the school district has never ending things change all the time we want our kids to have the best but in particular those kids that are

challenged to thank you for the opportunity to my understanding with the school district on this subject for a couple are years when we have technology like tablets they increase that possibility of teaching kids with better or for better opportunities i'm asking the school district give me our list through the superintendent and there optimistic the school board whatever the technology needs are if i can make sure i mention that to all the wonderful companies in the city they'll being sure to embrace the school district with the things they need with citywide certainly with the benny hoff foundation as they helped me in all the other technologies helped the schools continue to prove and maintain the best performance all for our kids i want to have and make sure they are the best opportunities for the wonderful jobs but if begins here at elementary school those

in the middle school we've focused on into the high schools and everybody on the college or career packets that are sustainable and full of very positive careers our school district is here to make sure that our families are provided the best education in the world and, yes we are going to be an even better alternative in than any other school we're making record investments as we have and our city and school district understands and represents each other's roles after this i make sure i build housing for teachers with that announcement congratulations to the school district. >> let's continue been for the kids this agency the first day of school i'm existing i remember my first day of school i ran around and trying to learn
