speak on item 24 which is to amend the redevelopment plan area to allow block one also known as 160. period we would encourage you to approve the item to move it to the full board on april 12 we been supportive of this project that think it's important to remember that this project is within the form of redevelopment planning areas gone through much more extensive approval process including going through the citizens transbay citizens advisory committee which received an endorsement from and into the opposite community infrastructure commission which received unanimous approval for. then the planning commission. overly onto the full board. it's unprecedented 40% on-site affordable housing for middle class families and

we would think that given the discussion that state place at this for the past couple weeks with the charter amendment this be a project he would want to support. we support it just because the extra hundred- amazing affordability 73 more homes, 44 formerly affordable at 60%. equity achieved-it's a testament to ocii and supervisor kim for coming up for that 40% parking payment and as well as [inaudible]. it's a lot of enthusiasm from the architecture community as well. were excited to have this power in the city. we hope you can move it to the full board on april 12. thanks for your time >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon pres. breed and commissioners. carpenters local 22 directors in about 3500 carpenters here in san

francisco. we support the amendment to the redevelopment plan for the transbay redevelopment project area. also known as 160 fulsome. that extra 100 feet is going to add housing that san francisco needs, affordable housing. is going to add jobs that carpenters and all trades workers need in san francisco. it's going to provide middle income housing that actually carpenters they go to work on the project may have an opportunity to live in that tower, and we ask that you also support it. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> tom-disappointment for police chief new policy, to both. we stopped. still not the change we are seeking. that is

still the wrong direction. we should have a desire instead of a police officers retiring. never point a gun out of their holster, never firing a bullet. another disappointment. muni. where losing 8 seats on the light rail. each, maybe 12. with that they be more on the buses. i can't tell on the buses. so, but the new policy now is, if you're sitting in a disabled or senior seat you make it reprimanded. so kind of making repercussions were almost making it criminal. it's a new direction. the future plan to have more standing room. is it part of the 3rd street disaster between the giants

baseball park, the giants development with 11,000 jobs, the hospital that's already there with the 18,000 of the basketball stadium. we are going to replace 3 part lines and a freeway with reducing 8 to 12 seats in our muni rail so more people can stand. again, i think it's the wrong direction. just before the dust settles on this past election, the mayor's race, i was disappointed with the top echelon of the democratic party. i was a new direction man that was a new mayor's man. we can all agree that he was hand-picked. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> joe wilson hospitality

house urging the board to move with deliberate speed to address the widening and deepening affordability crisis. i appreciate the value of feasibility studies and anticipating with some degree of trepidation once spent months spent questioning the study's conclusion, challenging the study's methodology, debating the study empirical data. meanwhile, committees across the city, bayview, omi, chinatown, expensing experiencing deepening inequality and a whining affordable the gap. i actually found it interesting feasibility study done by an engineering form in the midwest

addressing a particular crisis to public utility. it turns out this feasibility study was commissioned by the state of michigan treasury department, conducted by a firm out of detroit on behalf of the city of linz michigan, looking at the cost benefit analysis of pumping dirty water into communities across the city. it turns out, they concluded that it would be economically feasible to use dirty water, rather than to continue to use healthier cleaner water because the economics did not work could i urge you to make sure that when you act, you act in the best interest of the public, not merely because the numbers were.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is julie galli also work at hospitality house and i want to voice my support for updating the inclusionary ordinance to increase the amount of affordable housing required in all the developments. i work with lots of members of the community and affordable housing is by far the number one concern. i've also been part of several committee coalitions and groups to meet with developers to try to negotiate something so they can come to the neighborhood in a more i guess cohesive way and time and time again they say they will only build a legal minimum of affordable housing. despite with their budgets are. so, making these kind of changes can have a massive impact on not just middle income people but helping people with homeless and

getting housing as well. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is-i testify that the planning commission last week and also at the january hearing. i am deeply troubled by the misuse of the word affordable. the planning department said that none of the housing that is in the mayor's so-called affordable bonus density plan would allow people to make less than dirty $4000 a year to live in those filings. i wish you would strike the word, affordable, from any with this station that appears before this body. the city is building no housing whatsoever for anyone who makes less than $34,000 a year. this is one of

the biggest lies ever seen perpetrated in san francisco history. if i am wrong, please correct me. i like to see some documentation. but the planning department is actually speaking through 2 sides of its mouth when at some point in that hearing said we are building housing for the lowest income people in san francisco. well, they also said that none of the housing would be affordable for people who make less than $34,000.80. so, those are 2 irreconcilable visas of information that i have not seen corrected anywhere. i wish he would correct it for us all. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> this is one of points i want to highlight also. you get situation enjoyed by high income bracket of people but not enjoyed by lower income bracketed people. first welcome you advertise affordable and low income housing and have the voters vote for your campaign

but the truth of the matter takes place and read the fine print, it's not affordable whatsoever. it's like it's 5m project. i watch when you supervisors speak to the public and say you're providing housing opportunities for teachers and teachers can't afford to live in the 5m building then i watched the city attorney talk talk about board of education director and his staff can afford to live in the 5m though. then when public comment, not one, but 5 schoolteachers, explain and testify they cannot afford to live in the 5m apartment building complex. again the same response understands and testifies that she cannot afford to live in the 5m apartment building complex. you claim low in affordable income housing, affordable housing, and the lowest income for the building is $71,000. the next

income bracket is about $89,000 and tops off at about $105,000. that's not affordable low income has moved its fraudulent information. you do the same thing with proposition d you claim 40% affordable housing and then when you look at the fine print, after campaign input a female that's living in a in-home foster care, and wants to live in the building it turns out you're providing greater opportunities for people that are making $122,000 a year. since when does a person that's making $122,000 a year need to be under a low income affordable housing program? now, i want to point out there's actually been >> thank you. thank you very much. i'm sorry, sir. next speaker, please. unfortunate, i could give everyone the same time. it's 2 min.

>> [inaudible] >> sir, thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hello. i want to speak about the expense i had yesterday. was working on market and buchanan. i stopped and saw their 3 people on the sidewalk and i saw these officer harassing them and i was standing there watching and the police officer began to then interrogate me i was not doing anything wrong at the very minor example of i think the harassment of people on the street feel. it escalated i was a leader. i was called pearl brought. the officer began to make up things about me. i was just watching, observing. the

people i talk to on the street after the officer left so they felt very threatened and think about people who go through this on a regular basis, i have place to go. i place where i could go to be saved afterwards. i'm curious about how people who might not have place twos to go would react to an officer coming up to them and threatening them and also lying to them and not being honest with them could either than the city i pay taxes. i believe that we should all have a say in terms of how people are treated here. again, very minor, minor incident, but people might not hear-people here might not have experiences like this but there are people not being treated fairly and with respect and i would like it to be recognized and more to be done to make sure that everyone, every single person in the city is treated with respect and safety.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i live in south market and jane kim is our district supervisor. i live in-house. my issue is housing. the un-affordability of husband and i for one i gross under $60,000 a year and i'm a veteran, vietnam veteran. i then eligibility home certificate. i participated in-i participated with a couple of other the beyers for some homeowners program. to no avail have been able to-and this is 2011, 2014

and 2015. i have certificates good nothing ever came of it. the transitioning between befriend housing authority with the property at 330 and 320, tina is questionable and i think that my residency there is in jeopardy. i think-i don't believe that this ami +12% of affordable housing is appropriate. i think it should be a little bit more conscientious in your decision-your decision-making process in terms of affordability. 120% does not

cut it. not for me and i refused to be displaced. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public would like to provide public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> colleagues, we have some unfinished is this. we will go to items 18 through 25. our adoption without committee reference. so, mdm. clerk, please call items i can-25 >> these items are considered without committee reference. a simple rollcall vote may enact any of these items. member may object something and i'm having considered separate. >> are there any members would like to sever any items? supervisor yee >> yes, item number 22. peter

quickly, or highlight the summary of the amendment we are talking about. so, one of the amendment we included was the board of supervisors intend to adopt a ordinance by april 19, 2016. so, we are time definite. the 2nd amendments would be joining ordinance would include grandfathering clause to ensure fairness for projects in the pipeline. in the 3rd amendment would be joining ordinance would include a feasibility clause requiring the controller in the city department to conduct a periodic economic study to maximize affordability in the cities inclusionary housing requirements. number 4, the first economic usability analysis shall be prepared

with the provision indicated in the summary of amendments. that i just outlined. i feel comfortable with supporting the charter amendment as was introduced and to pass this resolution with the understanding that these arefor agreed upon legislation. colleagues i hope to have your support in this. first, i would like to say-make a motion for amending the resolution >> so supervisor yee has made a motion 2nd by supervisor farrell. before we adopt the amendment, i just needed a point of clarification on the proposed trailing ordinance and the date certain of april 19 trailing ordinance and the date certain of april 19, 2016. can

you please explain where that date came from, and if it's actually realistic based on the fact that it's arch first and this is--it may take more time than that? >> the purpose of that date is to show intent to introduce the ordinance. so it's not the completion. i will defer that to supervisor kim said she was part of the discussion >> supervisor kim >> this is a date negotiated with all parties. he was in conjunction with the mayor's office. they will be working very closely with the planning department to ensure a swift hearing of the trailing ordinance so that we can have this in land-use and to pass it by april and to pass it by april 19 now. so this is the date that was worked out but we did go to the week and get that

acknowledge on behalf of literally hundreds of mta employees that contributed to the success with the super bowl that happened just about a month ago you recall our goals for that event for the transportation associated with that event make sure that people could get to and from the event safely and everything else could continue to get around the city whether they were going to the events or not and i think that by and large we achieved those goals it is - the result of a lot work from a lot of people both from within the agency and the public again both people that were participating and not just so some of the highlights we encourage folks to take transit and people listened

and heeded our transportation ridership on muni was up the day before super bowl and tens of thousands of additional riders on the light rail and buses i'm sure you saw bart had record breaking numbers folks listened it made a difference and kept the carr geology folks talked about but it was prevented by the fact we had our parking control officers out in force and as i mentioned before the mayor you know himself told me they were doing an outstanding job and gotten a lot of feedback the last couple of weeks folks were surprised how well, the function of the street and not only that but the transportation getting around well there was a lot of communication

that went out particularly from us from our website and in the course letters and text and a lot of staff about all the communication but i think that really worked in this case it helped the folks to understand what was open and closed what their options and how to get around that made a difference and i would say that really a lot of this is attribute to the planning extensive planning it was modeled a after previous large events the city and have large events the city this is a city that we are and it's our job as the transportation television station to make sure those events work and particularly that people are safe as i mentioned last meeting there were during the event related to the event there were no significant safety incidents

50 foot vehicles the longer vehicles with the partition the middle some have been in service for 9 months no incidents related to the time our tested vehicles have passed every test they've faced and those tests have specifications the contract a r and on our wish lists one measure of the comprehensive set of tests of vehicle performances and our buses have done quite well in terms of the the wish list and the manufactures r a new flier for the requirements and the trolley also passed every one of those tests those tests were to measure the ability to get up the hills they do so our goal to use the busses on streets with upgrades of less

than 10 percent and on safer streets the contract harassed options for 200 and 40, 40 foot trollies we'll use on the extremist grades since 2014 the buses reliability for the fleet has increased by more than 60 percent as you measured by the distance between fairs so those are performing much, much better and the trollies are making the most defensive in customer experience and quality i know that every time i got on one whether a new trollies it is a different feel so want to assure you the buses are performing as designed as they are doing very well and finally want to speak to something that director rubke they mentioned a number of

people are here and want to recognize that the tragedy that happened back on february 4th when a community member in a wheelchair was hit and killed as crossing market street at 7 and first want to express on behalf of the entire agency the condolences to the families and friends and just since learned what a deep impact on san francisco and the bay area community i know a lot of people were touched and like every fatality collision it was tragedy and preventable everything we're doing under the umbrella vision zero to prevent those tragedies from happening as director rubke mentioned our

partners to the mayor's office on disability as well as a number of organizations part of vision zero coalition senior exact action walk sf had a memorial outside to honor ms. fan and i actually called for action and you know we take this and anything that happened on the streets seriously we don't want to wait and working to be pro-active and trying to design or redesign our streets such that a mistake didn't result in death or serious injury so we're working very hard everyday to make our streets safely but we will continue the police department is investigating so i can't really speak to anything cause or determined at the

moment but hsa as they're investigating we have already started at making improvements like the signage the intersection to help to clarify to all the modes of traffic that can and should be aware of reducing the likelihood regardless what happened in this situation for something like this happening again commit to the enforcement on market street and argue parking control officers some of them are the room to continue to help guide and educate drivers and people traveling in he every mode to get around safely we are working with the malice environment to allow the citywide viewing of the vehicle training video a video the city first help teach city employees and anyone else we mandated in

our department that anybody in our department that point to say use this vehicle must complete the training and the highlights urban driving practices to drive in san francisco and that congestion we have in many ways the people get around and the video on oversized vehicles specifically for 3 industry so wanted to acknowledge that i know that is very present in people's minds today, our condolences to the family and this renewed commitment to make our streets safer and to the early comprehensive report on what we can do with respect to the requests and to the safety on market street. >> members of the board questions or comments. >> if we can adjourn the

california street that is forced people to wait for another bus to complete their designation the reason for the turn around there are not enough sutter's buses to provide services there should be buses that travel the route all the time and the two sutter's have been stolen if the jackson line it invents people passengers for the 3 jackson in addition the two will terminator at 6th street and clemente ending the bus service along the clemente that was a perfectly good line until mta tickle elder about it with twist planning that results in an inconvenient travel time with the clemente streets case by case for sutter street they're for everyone and not particular parties you'll

of the street we have no knowledge of the changes until we heard this fwoogs weeks ago thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> peter followed by jean and then shalg the last person peter is next. >> he left. >> he left? >> i think he left. >> my name is jean i'm the third generation owner of the lines on the corner of polk street any grandfather established this in 1937 i worked with any father for 35 years have a second job as a school board trustee i'm i think so the political pressure of making decisions i served on the nonprofits organization

i have been serving the community at the i take it a pleasure we replace refrigerators for apartments in san francisco two to three years ago i attended a meeting regarded the changes on polk street i was shown the bike lane where it would be or where the loading zone will stay it came to my attention the bike lanes are moved it is the only derivative to our building and in between the bike lane and the lane of traffic there will be landscaping making it even more difficult to get those trucks in and out we don't let the trucks in and out without someone spotting but still a challenge we're also, because our chair

only entrance there is no inside entrance only from polk street a loading zone that if years ago when i went to the meeting about this bike lane they said oh, no the bike lane will be staying new i understand the loading zone is goinging away i asked him to keep the bike lanes they've been working i wasn't sure how it will work but they've been in place - >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> shalg last person. >> everyone i'm shalg i'm a representative for the work and concerned about the i guess taking away the parking which creating to the bike lane they have now that's fine it is safer

for the bikers and when their coming up the level and coming down at a hill so when we back out your or ours is a repair shop sometimes, it is hard to see them bend they see us so if they're coming down the hill fast and they don't have enough time to spot us they'll go into the car we back up and it is harder to see we're at a lower level it puts them in danger so often the issue you guys are taking away the parking it is downhill for the tow truck to move the car only one way in and out we're the mid block so the only way the tow truck to unload the car so we can drive is in on

a down hill speed there's no way to push the car up that hill the only way do we need parking in front so not for the tow truck but for the people that pick up the waste oil they have to go because the truck will not be able to drive through did garage because it is too small so they have to use the hole to supplement the oil so if i take away the parking this will also not having did parking there will be a big time traffic an up and down street and my tow truck. >> thank you very much. >> appreciate it. >> (calling names). >> he's the late person to turn in a speaker card. >> good afternoon directors noichlz a mr. apprenticeships

with the bicycle coalition here to speak in support of polk street project for the past 3 years we have worked with our members with the community stakeholders and, of course, the sfmta trying to insure we had a vision for a project for policies that was transmitter active and addresses the serious safety concerns on the corner not only for people biking allergy but people walking and driving it is a project that is ambitious but goes a long way to address the issues. >> thank you for moving forward and i also people that hope we can address the concerns the merchants have that are very real. >> anyone from the public wish to comment director borden. >> can we have staff respond

i'm yes, ma'am athletic but this polk street is a safety project years the making and was legislated most of project can we get clarification why more changes coming before us. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon excuse me. i'm matt with the sustainable streets and the reason this is before you we have what we call clean up legislation so you the board passed the polk street escape project in march of 2015 and as we've gotten into the daily design with public works our sister agency the city that things get modified or tweaked slightly so we have to bring it before the board for legislation additionally, there is some

other minor changes regarding the stated of practice this is regarding the bicycle safety and many changes that are really the best thing we can do lastly i'll say that bans what more field observation and being the field and evaluating what is happening. >> good thank you. i'll go ahead and make a motion to approve the bicycle safety and so many policies in place that support this project. >> a second on this one. >> i wanted to ask one question i cannot visualize if you have a graphic i can't say visualize the concept to make sure we're not causing - >> for this specific location.

>> sfgovtv if you could put on - thank you. >> so i actually spoke with the constituents i think, too weeks ago and spoke with them after the engineering public hearings so my understanding of their concern where their businesses are located are on the west side of policies just south of 0'farrell which is here currently there is a loading zone one loading zone on that block we'll remove for the curve side bike lane the reason we're

doing the bike lane to keep is consistent how zoomed out on geary which is north traveling setting the bike lane is against the curve and a we want to continue it along the curve adopt to ellis where is the driveway. >> the driveway is right there. >> does it go to the bike lane. >> there is a driveway that enters the bike lane through the sidewalks like any other brick lane to the sidewalk the idea the reason that staff is recommending it along the curve as i said like the weaving

of cyclists. >> in general how are we handling i don't think there are that many situations. >> we have driveways. >> not on unusual situation. >> we have driveways a lot of places the city especially with driveways the city and anything else there is a motion and a second any further discussion? 91 west in those the i's have it. thank you. >> okay ms. bloomer mr. chairman that concludes our consent calendar and so move on to item 11 amending the transportation code to limit the duration of the shuttle program to one year and limit the stops to one and 25 and directing the staff to report a network model and for the increases in stops at the individual locations and authorizing the director

permission to study at the relationship between transportation programs and housing costs. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon director nolan and decorators i'm hank the budget director for the commuter shuttle program you've heard about a lot about the shuttle i hope that is the last time but before you get to what is great the board on the screen yeah. so the board approves the ongoing shuttle program to the 2015 we felt like this program improves on point out polite and i'll get to those i wanted to mention we think this program is a model for the regulation of

this kind transportation observing san francisco is at zero for the commuter shuttle we have more in the country and than in the world we're sort of limited in how we can regulate given the walk sf we're not allowed to ban the busses from the streets and stopping at curve this is generally a model for transportation in other cities and that might face the same issues before we get into the program improved the situations on the streets the first is regulating the busses to aerial street and we've heard this from constituents a map is helpful i don't know how well it comes through on the street the buses over 35 street what drive before

the program came around >> and this is what it looks like now so significant reductions the number of places buses can drive so we think this goes a long way to address that concern and a similarly a lot fewer 0 loading zones so an example where we on the buses are stopping at 200 and 50 locations before the polite that is introduced one and 25 as we move forward that number will continue to go down and one thing the map we've xhvblt moved from shared zones to white avoiding the muni conflicts as possible and making changes forward to move the shuttle from the intersection to the far sided issues for the concerns. >> we heard a lot of concerns

about the emissions and we are in response requiring a newer cleaner salute it fleet and those shuttles are 25 to thirty years old the program going forward shuttles starting in 2020 more than 8 years and will all be meeting the emissions from 2012 before the polite we had no way of collecting data we sent people on the discredits with clipboards we did but this resource sensitive and for the program we'll have impeach data about the shuttles location and we narrative maps and track where they're going and issue penalty when they're doing something one thing wrong and use it to approve the

service a concern we've heard the decals under the project were not visual enough we've addressed that by making the decals 40 percent bigger and the 36 is more visual to contact the mta if there is a problem and requiring a sticker on every bus that allows the members of the public to contact a shuttle if there is angle issue. >> before the polite not a dedicated enforcement team on top of the busy responsibility to try to enforce this new kind of transportation and under the program a dedicated enforcement team of 1 pcos to make sure that everything is moving smoothly and the shuttle operators will be participating we'll be oozed

the fees to install safety improvements around the city like transit boarding island it improve the pedestrian safety and shuttle drivers alike i think as some of the folks from the labor communities said in previous meetings without the program there is a an issue. >> and, of course, fees before the polite we were collecting no fees and the facts of the shuttles under the polite we've collected over 4. $5 million allowing us to do robust improvement to minimize the impacts. >> with that said, the board of supervisors negotiated changes none of which are particularly we don't think

those will impact the benefits we've talked about that includes the study of hupdz u hud system or some other system that maybe more efficient and monitoring the impacts in specific zones and looking at air quality and things like that and i believe the board of supervisors setting up sunset data 12 months we'll come back i guess about this time next year in 2017 hopefully with more improvements we're seeing more evidence is working well the board of supervisors asked that the budget analysts to conduct a study on housing and transportation i'll be happy to that will not be coming out of mta budget for that so if this board should adapt before you essentially the revisions that the brvrsz passed this program will take effect

april one and on the streets for commuters and a six months report and report back and hen the program will again be over on march 31st and 2017 to give you more information. >> just for the clarification mr. chairman the agenda the state that the board will authorize the study relationship between the transportation and housing costs, however, after mr. willingly nodded the board of supervisors actually directed the budget analyst to conduct that study it is not an action that the board will be taking today. >> thank you members of the public anyone wish to address the board. >> yes. members of the public who wish to address. >> (calling names)

>> good afternoon. >> i'm bob one of the 3 appellants of the program you approved in november and after the negotiations and the board of supervisors action throats transportation authority we withdrew our appeal of the november approval of the permanent program hoping you'll follow through so thank you for that that represents some good steps towards a good safer program i want to call your attention to one concern ongoing that was referenced in an unusual rephrasing with hank willingly should the mta can't allow the bus at curbside by reading the language of the vehicle code subdivision i that those shuttle buses will not be loud in transit bus stops not

given that up but. >> party to the original lawsuit to the pilot program the case is still pending how wide you can allow those transit bus stops is not been explained is not been clarified i know that supervisor wiener seems to think that is acceptable but at the same time since all the briefs the decision the pleasing on the lawsuit have been completed and waiting for the judge's ruling i'm going to ask why mta can't come out with a justification why going against the plain text reading of cbc you, you may not be able to do it but raise questions are you getting this through and in concrete and later retroactively deal with that attempts to come up with state legislation to authorize

commuter shutters to use commuter bus stops it didn't seem likely you need to >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon ms. current letter. >> good afternoon i'm a citizen who witnesses the commuter buses in earlier in the morning and late into the night solutions are needed for the inefficient courtroom shutters in san francisco we're dealing with a system it is room pant the onerous on the businesses to deal with the buses and size and an extinct body to critically evaluate if better organization could be achieved with less negative impact on the city for example, we should know the

occupancy rate of the buses put smaller vehicles what under the circumstances have been evaluated the companies should be made to show they've done their homework there is a recent boom in europe of carpooling based on smart apps those are successful in france and now in india increase the public translator and extend bart and the use of ferries those are long term fixed the short time the companies, however, unwilling note to cooperate facebook and apple and google the irony of the situations we're dealing with companies that are world leaders in cutting-edge technologies yet the best transport is not okay with 9 generosity once more a

system that the 1950s would have looked date and thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> thank you for pronouncing my name right. >> hi, everybody i sort of the way cataracts are supposed to take over someone's vision slowly you don't notice our losing your vision and have it removed you see the world and realize how much our vision is corrected this is what is happening with the shuttle the beginning it provides a way for the citizens and others to get to businesses have you sat at the corners we sat at and tried it as a pedestrian and tried to ride muni and felt what it feels like to be on the highways of

the residential neighborhoods it is dangerous, it is anti athlete to the kinds of communities that san francisco is like by allowing those companies to run double decker shuttles that appear to be us half full at times through our residential streets shuttling people in and out who are not participating in our communities and neighborhood who many of whom the last survey i heard shouldn't be living here if not provided with the free commute why are we rubber stamping this to do the studies and find alternatives will move them to the transit hubs and in the embarcadero they can join us instead of impeding our commute let those people figure out if

they want to be part of community not make it so simple for the corporations to be invading our city and make muni work for everyone instead of us watching those highways taking over our neighborhoods thank you. >> thank you. >> (calling names). >> my name is eileen a resident of the sunset park side district even though the sunset park side not heavily impacted by the shuttle buses the west side is here in solidarity with the neighborhoods that are impacted i'm here in support of proposal for a one year polite project with a 6 month review thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names).

>> good afternoon directors i'm michael barrett work with save muni and i do that voluntarily i want to see the muni railroad succeed you're doing a great job one thing limit the commuters shuttle program to one year six months review and restrict the number of commuters stops to one and 25 that's make sense during that time they have a chance to look at other programs that explore transitioning to a hub system to get the commuter shuttles out of the public bus stops please remind that is a illegal vision of the vehicle code for private carriers to operate in public bus stops a big problem i think this going

forward watching what is going on for the first 6 months and make that better for the public transportation system so thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> last person to turn in a speaker card on this topic. >> good afternoon again, i'm here to support the amended version of the shuttle program sierra club i didn't hear what everyone said i'll offer any help and if it is needed to come up up with a hub system we've been talking about for 4 years i know the people on potrero hill have been talking about either local shuttle system or some kind of hub system we really don't need to have a lot of cars coming through the city right

now they don't have options we know parking lots get full around the bart station and there's not enough parking near the train stations and san francisco has no parking near any of the hubs but we're concerns about the shuttle bus hub situation if we can set up a situation near the on ramps whether by bus or shuttle or bart didn't matter matter you need to keep them off the city streets right now more shuttles on market street and 16th street than cars i can tell you for a fact few cars on 16th street they're big vehicles thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> (calling names) >> last two speakers that

turned in a speaker card. >> good afternoon mr. mason. >> good afternoon edward mason for 10 years increasing the neighborhood impact and no enforcement of red limousines the strategic analysis by the san francisco municipal transportation agency for $75,000 and completed in june of 11 the neighborhood impact disharmony i didn't with 33 buses an hour at twoufrt and church street and 24th street and van ness 47 buses an hour between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning the invitation to stand and obvious those vehicles at any time i'll be happy to to acknowledge that now the mtc is initiated a bay area managed lanes implementation plan and topic leveling 11 to complain a regional express bus system with

parking lots that is moving along slowly at nbc i urge you to communicate with them and other option for the individuals to take bart to the bart station because there are considerable number of bus spaces not used at the bart station the bart's is no longer operating through that area now that's my basic comment lastly the ids numbers have to be on all four sees of the buses i'm glad they're increasing by 40 percent you can't see the identification number of a bus when a bicycle rack is on the top of the bus no standard location if you're monitoring and trying to write down you can't see it so i'll strongly recommend that and also keep in mind there is probably will a half a million gloolgsz of fuel

waftsdz on $29 million a month those buses are commuting back empty to the city thank you. >> thank you. >> patricia void last person. >> i support the trial i question how the departments are working together looks like a piece meal issue on some of the programs and you're not allowed to piecemeal projects the one thing i'm worried about i'll give you an analogy on one side is one manager and on the odds a manager the one is wonderful we've worked with the phil station and with the parking lot where they can stage them the chariots and put them in and they go back on the pickup on

time and gone on the other side what we see is will not work when this guy is on a day off chaos they all come and just line up. >> the way between cellist nut and lombard the police department have been out there several times this is not working i talked about with one of the riders he said i get tired of waiting for muni but he stand out there every day for 45 minutes waiting for a charge i do not i don't understand what is really happening here i think we should look into enforcement big time and really enforcing is something to enforce it they're not listening they're just not listening. >> lover said we never go oh,

no, we don't go to residential 10 of them turn right an muni and take a left on greenish but oh, no, don't go in residential neighborhoods we have to think of a way for enrollment. >> anyone from the public wish to comment to the board. >> my name is herbert wiener i have an observation i noticed that the google buses don't dare travel to the areas of town because a ban on oversized vehicles now what politics to the ceqa should apply to the rest of city it is not fair those buses are collin traffic a nuisance and impede public transportation as well i'd like to see more buses on one condition they be muni buses to have their services i think

those are the only buses providing the service i think that the hub idea is an excellent idea i support what the other speakers have advocated. >> anyone from the public wish to comment on that seeing none, what's pleasure of the board. >> i want to thank mr. willingly and his entire group i'm confident with the continuing hard work of the group and the engaged public to improve that project as we go forward and discuss this bus stops in improved forms thank you very much and offer a motion. >> a motion to me. >> is there a >> technical discussion? >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it. so we'll adjourn. >> mr. chairman director rubke's request for ms. fan thank you very much. >> thank .
