examiner should invite investigators and d. a. and office of citizens complaint investigators to observe autopsies in all fatal officer involved incidents so they can be answered quickly and in teamwork with cooperation on the investigation can begin as early as possible. we have a building that is being erected as we speak by the planning committee's full support. currently we don't have the facility to entertain this type of collaboration. but we will be moving into this new facility in 11 1/2 months. it's something that we'll definitely consider and definitely be able to support this recommendation fully. the chief medical examiner, dr. michael hunter, he appreciates transparency and he feels

that this particular recommendation very well could assist those on going investigations. >> so perhaps that should be reworded to say that you agree with it, but it has not yet been implemented? >> correct. we did say the chief medical examiner, the design of the new facility with the autopsy operation will allow investigators with more information and multiparty information sharing. we will encourage investigators to encourage investigation in all homicide and suspicious circumstances. >> thank you. i very much appreciate it. so, mr. vander pool, here, this is your last opportunity until october 20. th. >> i can't thank you enough for having this dialogue today. we encourage the

civil grand jury's report to try to put their shoes in the place of an average citizen to find out information not only about the general ois investigation generally but all the information in the investigation. that it's easy to understand. we also encourage each department to ask whether from an average citizen perspective and the timeframe involved in that aspect of investigation is reasonable and makes sense. finally, we challenge each department to move away from the mind-set that only little information is disclosed and all information disclosed. this fundamental change in point of view throws the ideas of time limits in transparency into a new light. a light that i believe will

result and will prove useful in all aspects of the investigation more transparent and more timely. >> thanks to you and your colleagues again. i think the report has been very well received as others stated your timing is impeccable and with that, why don't we continue this item. the hearing portion of the item to october 20th, and while we are at it, why don't we file item no. 1. supervisor yee, are we okay with that? without objection, that will be the order. and madam clerk, if you could please read items 5 and 6 together. >>clerk: items no. 5 and 6. 5. 160617 [hearing - civil grand jury - san francisco homeless health and housing: a crisis unfolding on our streets] , 6. 160618 [board response - civil grand jury - san francisco homeless health and housing: a crisis unfolding on our streets] >>supervisor aaron peskin:

mr. cunningham. >> on behalf of the 15 and 16th civil grand jury, i will like to ask ms. gene boogagda to speak on behalf of the grand jury >> so i guess it's good afternoon, supervisor peskin and supervisor yee. our committee wanted, i will be reading if you don't mind other than speaking directly to you. our committee wanted to understand why in a city where so much money is spent on "the homeless problem" our neighbors still see the situation getting worse.

we live in an economic system built on competition and we compete for grades, for jobs, for grants, for elected officers, for romantic partners, etc. a system like this can be looked at as having the property of a normal curve. a number of people on the top, small number of people on the top get the top stuff. a lot of people in the middle get the middle stuff and a small number of people at the bottom don't get very much stuff at all. it's a system that we humans created and we humans can adjust. if we want everyone to be served by this system, we are capable of making sure that all sides of the curve are served. the current homeless problem in san francisco was not this bad in 1975 but grew for many reasons perhaps including lack of building of affordable housing, lack of low skilled jobs, availability of

drugs, clothing of mental health services and so on. members of this committee spent years talking with employees who are working into the service programs as well as the san francisco police, attending meetings of the local homeless coordinating board, fsich and talking to people who are homeless. we saw that homeless services evolved from different agencies and many programs were paid for by city fund. additionally the u.s. funding

three of them won't be implemented because they are unnecessary and unreasonable. i would like to give you a little background on the reasons that some of the investigations will not be implemented and will require further analysis. regarding the first responders. we recommended that the hot team be the first responders when it's safe, and that sfp, police department a county when necessary. we heard that police presence can be threatening but interaction with sf hot can be helpful and more knowledgeable to services with health information. their response to help with triage and move folks to a better place. we heard that police ticketing is very minimally

effective and the cost in processing tickets etc is very excessive when it's compared to the good that it does. we recommend that the police have access to health and substance abuse data and told that was unreasonable because of hippa. and instead of being told the city to be responders, it was a job they didn't sign up for. information with a data base should let the people know about what they are working with. when folks are entered into the data base, they should be encouraged to share more. the hippa boundary should be pushed a little bit in order to help the homeless client. this also goes for access to this data in the jails. the other topic we talked

about was outcome performance measures and monitoring. we were very impressed with the relationship between the controllers office and the first navigation center. the while they were monitoring, the controllers office, they were working with the navigation center center personnel to improve the program. at least during the beginning of the a set up of a new facility, this expensive relationship could be beneficial. additionally being monitored by the people you work with can be less effective by monitoring by an outsider. a person can be biased in one direction or another. we had also information about shelters and housing. that shelters should not be considered permanent housing and we were told that wouldn't be implemented. we recommendation the city increase the stock of very low income housing and these two recommendations go

together. we are told that many shelters are not safe and not stable environments. temporary shelters live the navigation center set triage and with a single destination, with a bathroom and rehab house with four individuals. we think that additional low income stock need to be available. that's about what i want to say so far. so i was trying to take five minutes. 5 minutes. >> extraordinary. thank you. >> why did you take that report? >> this reports were made as

they were made out. supervisors, good afternoon, we are glad to be had -- here to talk to you about the civil grand jury's report. i have a presentation but i know you have been here for some time so we'll be happy to go through this report. >> don't worry, it's a 30 item calendar and we are on item 6. so take your time. >> all right. then i shall. first of all i want to let you know that the department of homelessness and supportive housing hih has been working very closely with the civil grand jury and has implemented many of the recommendations they have laid out. as you know we are going through a strategic planning process which will

roll out many of these investigations. office office has been open since may 14, we ask for your patience, we should have this done by early november which will help budgeting for the next year and our budget for the department. we want to make sure that we proceed in a deliberate and intentional and intelligent way and we are still in the process of that data and have additional report with the consultants we are working with but still much to do. a little bit about the departments. as you know there is currently about 6200 single adults facing homelessness on our streets as of our last count. that count under counts the number of families as there are in the san francisco unified school

district. about 2090 are currently homeless and not seen and most of them not picked up by the homeless count. but i believe in the fidelity of that data and that's another problem we are working on. and the issue that is more public is the fact that 3500 of the homeless count were unsheltered which is an increasing number and this problem is becoming more and more visible. we'll talk about some of our response to that in just a bit. despite problems that we have in this city and the fact that we needed to do better and the mayor created this department to do better. a lot of the programs being used around the country including salt lake and houston were from san francisco. a lot of them focused on

getting homeless into housing was pioneered here in san francisco in the late 80s or 90s. the project home connect and the first lgbtq shelter were all pioneered here in san francisco and as a result we've had some great successes. since 2004, over 23,000 people who are homeless in san francisco have ended their homelessness through supportive housing through the homeward bound program and through rent subsidies and through self resolving. approximately 7,000 people are homeless. it does not make san francisco no. 1 or two of the homeless. often we get

compared to counties similar to los angeles county is not a comparison. we are about in the middle, we can certainly be doing better but we should be proud of the successes we have had. many cities have doubled and san francisco has done quite well. we know there is a dramatic increase in visible street homeless and there is a conflict in neighborhoods, not a conflict. it just that it creates challenges with quality of life in many of our neighborhoods and something we need to address. it's important to understand why some of this is happening and the fact that most of our services are concentrated in one part of the city in the eastern part of san francisco. the increase in development in certain parts of the city has pushed

individuals in mission bay and moving into other neighborhoods and important to knows that there has been a growth in heroin problems in the united states that has led to homeless that we are seeing as well. the good news is that i think the mayor's creation of this new department is going to consolidate programs and funding into one department to increase accountability to one department, well allow us to develop this unified strategy as opposed to multiple strategies as to how we are going to address this and also what the civil grand jury talked about coordinating a data system. it's not the data system, but the idea that clients will be assessed once in the system and they will know where they are going to be sent to and get services. service providers

will be able to track someone through the system and we'll have a better idea around accountability about service providers, about our outcomes and most importantly clients will get the services they need. people with the highest needs and people that are mentally ill, they are going to get the access first. that will make a big difference in what we are seeing happening on the streets. i'm going to skip a couple slides.. this is the idea and this is whenever -- where we are getting in terms of where our goals are. we are intend to end veterans homelessness by the end of 2017. we hope to increase shelters.

by 2019 we are on a path to end family homelessness by 2020. as mayor lee committed that he will end homelessness for 8,000 individuals ks adults and children by january 2020. let me jump ahead to the civil grand jury recommendations and we'll start with the recommendations around the hot team. we are not going to at this point implement the recommendation that hot team act as first responders. i would like the talk a little bit about what we are planning to do around the hot team. the hot team needs to be reorganized. it's been done so before multiple times. the staff in the field, we owe them a huge debt of gratitude

and they deserve more recognition. we are in the process of figuring out what they need to do and respond to this crisis on our streets. but i think there is a confliction between the problems on the street and homelessness. most homeless people are not criminals. most criminal people are not homeless and being asked to respond to violations of police code or other rules or regulations is not necessarily the job of the hot team. their job is to go out to find people who are not in our system, people who are not an availing themselves to services and bringing them to case management and get them to get into stabilization beds and ultimately into housing. i do think we need to have a better response to complaints that

citizens make, and i think we are trying to figure out what the hot team 's role should be and the hot team's focus in responding to complaints and letting the other hot team members work neighborhoods and understand who is out there and develop relationships with people and not keep constantly responding because if we don't mark our resources towards a strategy of ending homelessness, they are we are just playing with the problem and not solving it. that being said, we are working with 311 to talk about calls as they come in are dispatched and want to add to their staff so they have the resources so they will be able to dispatch the right people to the right problem and

expanded the hours of the hot team is something that needs to be done. but we are still having this open discussion as to the hot team and the planning. >> performing the system and software which we are implementing this year. we are in negotiations right now. so i don't want to announce who the vendor will be but rer -- we are hoping to roll that out and hopefully functioning within 2 years of doing that and also to respond to recommendation b 2 about having a

consistent intake system for sharing information. that will be accomplished through this system and also will again do this single assessment using a tool or something like what's called a service provider's decision allocation tool which is a data tested algorithm to determine the base from a client and what it is best resource for them. rb 3 is going to be addressed by the creation of this new department and is something we will be implementing in terms of coordinating our funding recommendation for it. again it's something that requires further analysis in terms of our first responders will get access to this data, but in general we do agree that there needs to be a way that people outside of our department have access to information. if a police officer or paramedic picks up somebody who they suspect as homeless to be able to look

them up it in the system to understand who is the homeless provider, that will be a valuable tool. and around contracting and creating more performance base around contracting is something we are going to do. until we have our data system up and running, we can't really measure the performance of non-profits the way we need to implement this, but it's certainly in planning to implementing. rc 2 talking the about navigation model and expanding the navigation model. we are in the process, we really want to bring the navigation centers into the system which was developed outside the shelter system which was a stand-alone gem.

it's as it should be. we want it to be part of the system and we will be integrating the navigation centers into the system and bring all the shelters look like the navigation center. recommendations 3, rc 3, generating an annual report showing -- an outcome is what we plan to do. we are going to provide a dashboard daily to see the successes and not successes and rather than not creating false expectations. this is to let them know what is going to happen next and so people

understand and that will go a long way for addressing some of the public's concerns. around removing the structure system towards a navigation system. that's the navigation center again which is a great model for what we should be doing and we'll be taking the lessons from that. the issue around natural disasters. is something that's and what our reaction is going to be. the department feels like we are not in a position, we are not big enough and don't have the expertise to deal with natural disasters from a citywide perspective. fha and the city department manager is responsible for dealing with that. our job is when there is a lot of rain to make sure that pop-up

shelters are available as well as in the event of a natural disaster, that 50,000 supportive housing for tennants and people on the streets get the service they need in the event of a natural disaster that occurs in the city. rd 2 is already being implemented around exploring additional navigation centers. my department is charged with and we are happy to be charged with at least six navigation centers in the city. hopefully we'll have some news about those very soon. actually i should say, the dog patch facility is moving forward which will be on 25th street and the dog patch and two sites in addition to that. the idea that the mayor should insure that the department provide

enough staff at the center to deal with the physical and emotional conditions at the sites. we are already doing. you will be amazed at the quality of level of service. increasing housing stock for low income housing to meet the current need. i absolutely agree with that, but i think we need to not only look at the homeless population but the entire affordable housing in the city. we have swung back and forth the pendulum and we need to look at what is exactly needed for the category for low income families and -- census workers and how many sites for the various populations we think are needed in the city.

but moe is working now to meet without doing much analysis we need more housing and we are trying to move forward on that. the recommendation to 311, i already spoke to. we need to work with our department and how it works better with 311 and how to handle a call. we will be moving forward with that. that's in both recommendations around 311 are critical and we preach -- appreciate them and we'll be following up on them. that is a quick version of our presentation. i will be happy to take any questions. >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you. any questions, supervisor yee, seeing none, why don't we open to the public. are there any members of the public who would like to talk about

this vexing issue. seeing none, we'll close public comment. i have read the report. i have handful of recommendations, supervisor yee, as to the board grand jury reports specifically around the two findings. the first 484 which is police ticket face the response for service to have the best outcome for calls they do not take it because it's not productive in finding fd 2 centers reports on pilot navigation requiring intake data and connecting people to services and monitoring exits for

recidivism to have innovative office for the controllers outcomes. i would agree with those two findings. as to the three recommendations, i think the first one ra 1.1, which states the number of sf hot as in homeless personnel should be increased to be available to respond. i think that will not be implemented per the mayor's response as to ra 4. i believe that has been implemented through the creation of supportive housing in the overall network of city departments supportive services for homeless residents and as to rd 2, which states, the mayor should explore and acquire new sites where additional navigation centers should be

opened. the board of supervisors should urge the mayor the fund these additional sites as mr. kazinsky said with the implementation of the passage of supervisor campos legislation file no. 160278. i believe that has been implemented and will continue to be implemented through the department of homelessness and supportive housing to maintain centers throughout the sites. i would move those changes to the resolution, those amendments. can we do those without objection. and on that item, send that to the full board with a recommendation. without objection that will be the order. i would like to thank the civil grand jury for this also timely

report which mr. kazinsky said, yes, you are welcome to come back up and already informed public policy and you are welcome to make any closing statements that you would like. >> mr. chairman, for clarity, for the hearing for this matter. >>supervisor aaron peskin: we will file item no. 5 without objection. there are going to be continued discussions from these committees which is to talk about something that is of great and legitimate concern for those that are housed or not house. >> thank you for this. the statement in the letter that we got from the board of supervisors, say that recommendations requiring further analysis the grand jury expects a progress report within 6

months. is this something that can happen? can we continue this dialogue for these things that have been suggested that there is further analysis, can we see what's happened? >> yes, and because there are so many hearings and we are joined by supervisor wiener who was in the hearing about homelessness. it will be a form to visit recommendations in the grand jury's report and incorporate new data and policies that are currently being considered. so to that end. i think we can file item no. 5 because you will have plenty of opportunities to continue to dialogue with this board about the on going vexing issue of homelessness. >> and just a couple of quick comments about some of the things that jeff kazinsky said, thank you for all the things he said. on the identified strategy is what we require,

and part of that strategy should be really the acceptance that this is a problem that is fixable, that is not the human condition to have a certain number of homelessness that is going to always exist. i think the board and the whole government needs to accept that as how they are going to stand. homelessness is not part of the way we want to run our government. one thing living in the eastern part of the neighborhood, we have homeless people that we are interacting with all the time that have been around for 5 years and some of them are constantly on drugs or doing damaging things. some of them are just sick, but we have no one to really interact with. that's where the hot team

or someone in the neighborhood so these folks can be helped. that's something i have not seen anybody talk about too much. i want to see the idea of radical transparency is wonderful and we are looking forward to seeing it. the other thing said about the natural taking care of the disasters, we didn't really mean that hsh should be taking care of the disasters, but that temporary shelter should not be a way for someone to live forever. they should move into something more stable. thank you very much. >> thank you, i think without putting words in my colleagues mouths, we agree with all of those policy desires. so without objection, we will file item no. 5 and we have already

dispensed with item no. 6. madam clerk, can you please call item 30 out of order. i apologize, mr. kern, but supervisor wiener gets to go first. >>clerk: item no. 30. 30. 160425 [administrative code - ban on city-funded travel to and city contracts involving states with anti-lgbt laws] sponsors: wiener; campos and farrell >>supervisor aaron peskin: supervisor wiener has brought this hearing to us. >> good afternoon, supervisor wiener. thank you for joining us. >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you for taking this out of order. i very much appreciate it. colleagues, before you today is legislation that would prohibit city funded travel that the state has enacted laws that discriminate against

the lgbt community. for example, the recently enacted law in north carolina that prohibits all lgbt civil rights protection and that requires transgender people to use the restroom of the gender assigned to them at birth as opposed to their gender identity. this

>> we are now back the open session. thank you, madam clerk. deputy city attorney. >> deputy john gibner. during the commission, the committee vote 2-0 with supervisor breed excused

communication outreach updailt. this is information item. >> okay. >> good afternoon. john nox, acting manager for sfmta. we wanted to come and give a quick overview of the communications work and education work we have been doing on behalf of vision zero. presentation. mument media will stop along the way to play a couple things as well. knowing we are a little-- our communications campaign is really about culture change. it isn't just behavior change it is changing culture. san franciscos culture to one that embraces and demands safety.

this takes a shift in public perception. seeing things in a broader perspective than just one belaveier to change but understanding that cultural change takes time and we need to understand a lot more about what it will take. at the end of the day, our current goals are to insure people understand traffic safety is a problem on our streets but it doesn't have to be this way and a result of changes we make personally and also demanding policy and change in the communities. we know what are the root problems that are data driven and look at and identify what is happening on the streets and know a lot of the solutions so there is a way forward. it isn't a hopeless traffic is a problem. helping encourage people to get to the point where death in the streets not only saves lives but see it a more livable place for them sevl squz place they like to

be. just came from the prowalk, probike conference and there was a discussion about the happy city. place where people want to be and feel good being in there. is and we need to work together as a broad community to achieve this. i wanted to-sorry. there we go. just quick-it stops here, safe streets sf. we were awarded the an award by the tucademy of interactive and visual arts in the social responsibility category. partner ship with department of public helthd, police department and city of san francisco and many others. i want to take a minute to recognize the work and celebrate the work we have done. this slide represents a lot of work currently hitting the streets now. you may have seen some of it. i provided the new outreach cards that came in today. some of the

first people to receive them. we'll drop those by your officers so you can use them as well. um, let's see here--3 months ago [inaudible] talked about the safe speeds campaign and we have created on the streets and want to take a couple seconds to ply the thirt second video. it is running in english, chinese and spanish. i will play the english here today. it is about 30 seconds long. >> my car will take all most twice as long to stop so once you cros the treat and didn't have time to stop. i tried. but i was going too fast. i caused this funeral. now i have to live with that. speeding is a leading cause of traffic deaths of san francisco

streets. the speed limit is 25 for a resin. stick to the minute. learn more atsition zero sf.org. >> this was the result of a focus group that really we thousand dollar people were very surprised to find out speed was a impact in san francisco streets. everybody like the children of lake [inaudible] is above average driver so they can drive faster and control their car s and there a lack of understanding speed as a impact on the ability to stop in a physics sense. this campaign is really rolling out with the idea of trying to help people understand that even 5 miles a hour over the 25 mile hour speed limit doubles the chance you kill somebody if you hit them. this is a difference between 30 and 25. it is is accompnied by visual banner ads playing in san francisco. people who have been identified

as likely drivers and people who are physically in the city of san francisco on cell phones, tablets and computers clicking on that will take you to vision zeeree sf page. supporting a lot of the radio and playing as we start the enforcement that will roll out next-go back. >> commissioner campos. >> quick question. very powerful. is it the same concept translated into spanish and chinese? >> it is on this one, yes. >> where is it playing? sort of like how many stations? >> it is playing on english during the drive time so times when people are driving not just in san francisco but into san francisco. the total traffic network is the english network, i cannot list all the stations, kqd is one of them but spanish is the same and

-i'll have to send the specific stations. >> let me know the specific stations that will be great. >> happy to coo do that. >> good for you to give that information oo all our colleagues. >> absolutely, happy to do that. this campaign is also paired with high visibility enforcement. we will have starting in october police officers doing 132 hours of speed enforcement on high injury netdworks throughout the city. there will be one high visible enforcement every week on one corridor so it is moving throughout the city all parts the city will see this. it will likely be sergeant and up to 8 police officers any given time enforcing people driving through communities at high-speed. i want to-we will also have signage out there that is telling people what is

happening so when they see people pulled over people are aware why. one thing we heard in the focus groups is people don't think speeding is a problem in because no gets a speeding ticket in san francisco. which brings to a slight side but important one which is equity. wroo t i know issues around enforcement and equity and social justice have come up a number of times. we are doing community outreach to make sure that they are aware what we are doing and make sure as we have high visibility enforcement in the larger enforcement operations going into communities there is a awareness what we are doing and worked with the community so make sure it is done in a way that is received positively because we want to make all communities receive the benefit the enforcement and don't want to do it there but very sensitive there are issues. part of our communications research was to

fund a white paper on equity and vision zero through the vision zero net work. the draft is in comment circulation but center that in the next week or 2 and circument. two items is insureing we are aware of the impact of safety enforcement done tin communities especially athround national conversation and local conversation relate today enforcement and also the impact of the citations and fines and fees that are charged when people get tickets and are work wg sfpd as a mart part of the program to make sure diversion programs and others are readily available and that people are aaware there are ways if don't want to pay the citation but have trouble paying the citation to pay off the citation and not have it-we never want a speed citation to be a trade off between feeding jour family and paying because

you were driving too fast. on a higher level this is the first of our outdoor media, the kill with kindness, not with collisions. part of the broader vision veero plesage and it does rnt have to be this way message. this again focus groups were very positive on this image. they really liked the fact it seemed to talk about the vulnerability of pedestrians without blaming anybody for that. they also liked the idea of it being asperational. we have founds in all the focus groups people are very proud of san francisco and really-not a surprise, but we are a place that people want to be great and so the more we can not chide but call on san franciscans to stand up and take pride and make safer streets people react very well with that. >> are these the bus stops? >> yes. is this just in

english? >> this is currently in english only. we will have a chinese and spanish campaign as well. i'll explain why we had the that in a second because it is very important to this. additionally, we have the second campaign which is more of a problem in making the human connection. i want to be clear this is stock footage, not san francisco and not a real person t is a model but we are working with a number of families. possible up to 3 to actually take photo's at intersections where they lost loved ones and developed these images and agreed to let them [inaudible] this is a very emotional and personal issue and so can't share where we are at but hoping in the next couple weeks to have that and we'll start to put those in the neighborhoods and around the areas where these collisions are happening. so, another campaign is the year of speed.

the department of public health was successful getting a safety grant for antispeeding campaign. part of that program was some posters up and mta garages, reminding people that are out on the streets and had a good time, they are dribeing out of that neighborhood and returning to where they are and remember that there are other people just like them in the community wanting to have a good time. we are not just doing advertising, we are also in the community talking to people. this is one of our other-we are doing outreach in chinese, spanish and english. one thing we are doing is collecting video stories from people talking about safe streets to share through the social media outlets. this takes a couple second said s to load up.

>> [speaking spanish] >> as our outreaches team erize out we talked to over 1500 people one on one how they feel on the street right now to envision streets where they feel safe and trying to envision if they are not feeling safe in the higher injury network streets what would that street feel like if it felt safe. trying to help people in vision not only there is a problem but there is a direction to go and they can think of places where safe streets exist and see it is possible. when you look at behavior change theory people have to really believe in their soul it is possible before they are willing to take the steps whether it is advocacy or

slowing down. before they are willing to take the steps to make the changes. we are working oen partnership. we have a pilot running through this year and looking for small business partners who are going to be displaying vision zero and safe streets at their business squz hopefully also offering freebees. small tokens of gratitude while people meet the outreach team. everybody is getting a reflective vision zero sf things and so if you go to to the copy shops partnering maybe you get 25 cents off a cup of coffee. we are working hard that it isn't just about free stuff. we are scg the business partners to make some sort of statement whether it is putting our materials at the front counter so people are really starting to see, it is not just the government or the advocates

it is everybody at every leevl. level. >> quick question. we have dozens and dozens of community based organizations we work with and it is not just transportation but all of the city agencies that fund many of these groups and work with them, is there a idea of actually having every 1 of the community based organizations that has a relationship with the city putting out information about vision zero? >> absolutely. i think we are two slides away from that. i also want to point out in the bottom slides, this is safe streets for seniors program, which kicked off this year engaging seniors in really becomes actively involved and advocating for safe streets in the communitiesfelt we are

funding safe routes to school, bike education classes for adults and children, walk to work week, we do promotion around that as well. we are trying to engage in partnerships with private organizations. we talked to 1500 residents and the goal is talk to 2 thousand by theened the year and doing that in multiple languages and throughout the city. >> when you do talk to the 2 thousand people, is it to get information or to educate them? >> i would say the primary is educate them and engage in thinking about safe streets but also are collected feed back about what they are hearing which is sent to the communications team and if issued are raised we pass them along whether enforcement or engineering folks.

>> is there a subhch sub-set of people you talk to that are young people like high school kids? >> i will say the answer is yes . we are not picking and choosing who we are speaking to in a given space. we are not going out specifically and speaking directly to youth groups. we are engaging them through some of the speakers training that we are doing. i think the youth commission had a number of people who went through that so looking to do that and work with public health and the school district. the school district sits on the education subcommittee and very involved. we have coordinating meeting once a month with mta and public health to get the vision zero language out to parents and

students. alright. just a example of some of the social media we are doing. we are tweeting and putting things on facebook daily. we are trying to engage both in the there is a problem and are solution jz also celebrate successs the city has and increasing our partnerships throughout the city to tell the stories of the various agencies that are supporting vision zero work. the speakers bruro training. we have a goal by the end of the year to have trained 250 community based organization leaders in how to talk about vision zero to engage in vision zero and to go back totheir group jz talk to their groups about vision zero. the idea is not bring people and tell them

what vision zero is and hope they talk to people, but looking for people coming in spirfckly because they want to talk to their groups. we held i think 8 speaker bureaus training so far to date, we have one in chinese and spanish held in october and will continue a monthly training as we move forward to insure we not just get as many people in as possible but as new people come to the table we bring those people in. we are also using the training as a way to build communications networks so as we have calls to action or good information we can actually-we have a network to reach out to not only to share the news with but who have networks of their own they can then share that news as well. in addition, 19 agencies and departments in the city have gone through the trainings as well. over 60 city staffer were trained in order to talk

to coworkers and also community groups on this. um, so lastly, we have our research and talked about berkeley media studies and used written media as a proxy for community conversations to determine how people are talking about traffic safety for the first time ever we have actually worked with them for their first time ever. they are doing a chinese media analysis. we just received our first nlsh report last friday, which will help us develop cultural comp tent creative for the vision zero chinese language campaign. it is very important not just to try to translate the english language, campaigns based on english language focus groups, we are findsing cultural differences in the way people talk about traffic safety. they did try to do analysis of spanish written

media and think to everybodys surprise couldn't find articles about local traffic problems in the spanish media in san francisco. we are looking to fund hopefully research into radio and television to see where that is happening, the few storeies they found were much of a state and regional level and dealt with issues coming up in san hosay or the region as well. the subcommittee on education we talked about thampt there are cultural reasons for that, but we are planning to do more research to make sure we develop campaign materials and messages that are speak toog the people that they are hearing and not assume because we talk to 24 people who are english speakers that those who spend much of their lives speaking spanish that is where they are engaging and coming from the same place. and that

--quick wrap up. we have the chinese and spanish language campaigns developed through this fall and hopefully launch as we go into the new year. we are updating awareness campaign so the its stop here campaign is continued to put out and continue to be put out and looking to developing new images around that. the education strategy has the pedestrian yield safe speeds and hopefully turning at intersections campaign will lead for years to come so we are really continuing to make sure people are aware of these issues and starting to take them in. we are starting new educational programs and materials. there is a new call for projects done for safe streets for seniors. families for safer streets. we are doing grassroots funding, mini grant contracts to fund groups to talk in their community about speed and effect of

speed. and also we were successful receiving a new ots grant for motorcycle safety campaign which is the first time we have done education around motorcycle safety which is a very large prbl. more people die on motorcycles ever year than on bicycles every year in san francisco. we kill kick that off this fall. with that, any questions? >> i have a-just curious, the education written material outreach, are you-i don't know if this is a problem or not or-but with these what do you call the-they are like taxi. >> tnc >> it seems like sthra lot of the drivers and seem like

[inaudible] would it make any sense to do outreach with these companies to ask them to also be part of the solution? like give the information to any new drivers they recruit? >> absolutely. we started those conversations. we have been in conversation with lift and uber about driver training programs . lift hopefully will roll out this fall agreed to offer all their drivers driving safely around people who bike and walk. the bike coalition helped develop the content and think it is good. uber is in the midst of developing that content and working i believe with bike coalition, walk san francisco and sfmta to at least get comments and also i know that they had a meeting with director riscon. i can't there

so won't try to comment. it is on our radar and looking for ways to partner with them. >> another group might be tougher, but to maybe have discussion with the car rental companies also? >> that is on our list. we have so many things going we had to prioritize. we haven't-every time we look into issues where we think out of town dreeurfbs are a big cause, i mean people not coming from the county bay area, we haven't found a huge amount. we surprise ourselves when the cable cars who are stopped must be out of town because they don't know and it turns out the citations are given for people in san francisco. we have efforts with the rental car companies but prioritization

and staff resources it is on the things to do but haven't started. >> one last thing, in regards to posters, are there any plans to-every driver-all most every driver unless they are electric will go to gas stations. will there be postings at gas stations? >> we have been looking to use the digital networks mptd it is a little more complicated than we initially thought but hoping next spring to be doing some messaging around that in those areas. definitely. a lot of the gas pumps have the screens that show commercials on it so we are looking to produce content possibly for that. >> or even having those signs put in their wall or whatever. >> absolutely. that is something i think we will-i'll go back after the meeting and make sure the outreach team is look toog do that. people who

drive in san francisco, the digitalcome pains done one way that they can determine whether somebody drives is whether they are buying gas on their credit card. one of the creepier parts the technology companies out there but we are table to target our ads to people we know are drivering. we don't know. i have no idea who sees the ador what they are doing, i want to be clear about that. but, that is who will directly receive our anti speeding campaigns is people we have a high belief are driving in san francisco because they are here. >> okay. thank you. any public comments on this matter? or did-no. seeing no public comments, public comment is closed. thank you for the presentation and information. call item number 5. >> iletm 5, vision zeer a

projects and initiatives. this is information item. >> mr. maguire. >> good afternoon. tom maguire. sustainable streets dreblther ota director at sfmta. vision zero.org where we put up a map portal showing all the high priority vision zero project frz the two year period. when we came in june we talked about prioritizing 57 projects that will reach mile stone squz completed in the next 2 years and will give a update especially things that got done and things on the horizon for completion this fall. talk about the next

vision zero 2 year action strategy and maybe ask kate bren to give a update on the law enforcement. >> last june we have a on line portal mapping all the projects. per the request we got from you, we also put in a downloaded table so people that don't want to click through the map can download the procts and get the latest and greatest information about where the projects are. highlights that took place this summer. we began construction on the masonic avenue streetscape project. [inaudible] tame traffic on a north/south street and aprive muni connectivity and aortbig thing we completed this summer, we

installedal and turned out 4 radar speed back signs in your district supervisor yee, [inaudible] finally we cuck pleated construction of a new road and east bound bike lane on golden gate avenue. golden gate avenue, while we fulfilled the mile stone we said we would meet we know from the first few months it probably will need more attention. we had violation of cars driving in the vike bike lane and continue to monitor that and look to make that more robust this fall. a few other projects in the interest of transaerns to talk about things we hoped we will get done this summer but in the fall instead. a few of the projects are slipping just most by a month or two, but will be done within this two

year timeframe. broadway streetscape project we will break down next week. we hoped to get that started last month but will happen in september. the sutter street and webster street projects both are linked to much bigger utility and repaving projects as often the case in san francisco quh you try to fix utilities we pave the road and introduce traffic calming safety measures and sometimes find things under er the road you don't expect. we believe we will be a nunth or two behind butd will get them done this winter. this fall we have things on the list we are excited to get done. [inaudible] bicycle and pedestrian network will be putting in the bike lanes and

pedestrian treatment and [inaudible] we will get that done early fall ahead of scheduleism we have safe routes to school in the tenderloin. church street between larkin and hide, two high crash locations and make the streets much safer and break glound on the polk street streetscape projects. as you said last time our list of projects is not just infrastructure. we have communications work john knox led us through. the most exciting thing happened in august is for the first time sfpd was able to meet the focus the 5 goals. in august 50 percent were issued for the 5 violations. that cause the most injurys and fatalities. it is great to see sfpd upping

their game. we hope they will be able to continue that. couple other updates here. i won't go through all in detail, we have a few things coming up this fall including a motorcycle education campaign. motorcycle safety is a important part of vision zero. disproportionly motorcycle riders fatalities and injurys considered how small a portion of traffic they make up in san francisco. backbone data and analysis to update high injury network and get the injury surveillance system up and running so we see the all those injurys coming through and understand the full scope of the safety issue. skip this slide and ask kate to come up in a moment. this is updating

action strategy. hard to believe two years ago we came here to tell you about the first two year action strategy that kicked off in the spring of 2015. stwing of 2017 is coming up so need to refresh the stratany. we will meet to refresh the list in the fall and have a new list to bring in early 2017 and make sure we have engagement with folks outside the city family. it is important it doesn't knb come a echo chamber among the agencies so will discuss at the vision zero task force meetings where we meet with the city agency squz hold a public meeting october 11 at city hall and that is a opportunity for anybody to get involved in san francisco. can you show up, share views where the city should put their injury and what ish oo ish issues to take on and have a opportunity

for people to participate on line. next week we have our task force meetding where we meet with non city stakeholder jz get the publics view on how things are going with vision zero. october 11 is taskforce meeting and another meet ging [inaudible] >> thank you for your report and also want to thank sfmta for doing projects that are not on the list that are completed i guess with these interactive speed radars in district 7. people are really happy about those. >> glad to hear it. >> okay, thank you. >> can i have my colleagues talk about the [inaudible] >> you may. >> good afternoon, kate breen,

sfmta. we talked about the topic at veryious time squz think it is a good time to reflect at the end of the two year session that changing state law takes time and it is really only with sort of constant leadership and unwavering support on this particular issue from both the transportation authority, the board of supervisor jz the mayor collectively we are able to continue to make progress. so, i thank you for that. really the work that we are doing on this and i'll just take this afternoon to share we are at, it is a campaign. we are guided working with the transportation authority staff and our own organization along with the advocates we meet on a biweekly basis to stay on track with the campaign we developed thmpt campaign itself is framed at with a solid understanding where historically the opposition on the use of cameras for

enforcement lies and having those conver sations now. having those conversations obviously we started this last year, but we were not able to get a author in the past session. the session is over and looking towards a new two year legislative session and despite the fact august was a busy time for members of the legislature there were organizations we chose to sit with early enough so we can hear their concerns and issues and do we have a place to reach an agreement and despite that busyness they expressed gratitude we were starting this early. when i say this early i feel i have been doing this a long time but resetting the clock toward the next session. i note as a side the transportation authority staff shared with us their tracking of vision zero interest and note there is complete alignment with the san francisco municipal transpor

tation authority and over the past session that fall into the category of vision zero. looking forward we know the legislature has a macro interest in better road safety and safety for road users, it is trying to fit our efforts on vision zero and particularly on automated speed enforcement into that framework rather than having it seen as a out lier proposing. the action that you took earlier today relative to support for the league on vision zero is a example of the kind of state wide effort we will need to establish a foundation of support with organizations that are either neutral or already in our camp so when legislation does come forward that is vision zero supportive, we have the ground work laid to go back to the the organizations and get them to weigh in. i'm happy to share more on the campaign. >> on that note, a number of us

san francisco has seats on regional transportation agencies that also have their own legislative agendas, mtc, golden gate bridge and others are we talking to them to make sure they are making the issues priorities as they push in sacramento and dc? >> we are doing . we asked for including support for vision zero related legislation in their legislative program and will do the same again this year. i like your suggestion about golden gate bridge. they run the bridge so have highway interests as well. i will make a specific point to reach out to that organization as wem. thank you. >> thank you. >> there are 4 that sit on the board.

>> on golden gate bridge. ? great. thank you. >> your out reach to discuss the speed- >> automated speed enforcement? >> yeah, what are the concerns you are hearing. >> you know, it is interesting, palot of the concerns are ones that sort of follow this iges issue. they center to do with privacy and data collection. those issues seem to be not as the forfront now and the at mosphere has changed around priferbacy. the fundamental issue tooz responds to is this a tool that proven that is about changing behavior and not about raising revenue or generating revenue for the general fund or for any other

purpose other than covering the cost of the program and the to the extentd above and beyond put it [to safety investment. i would say that is number one. it is dependent what organization you are talking about, but traditionally motorist organizations have not been supportive, but if you sit down and talk about where those concerns lie, you start to peal back the presumptions and preexisting positions that are not necessarily founded in fact. it st. the work to be done is the education that we have to do that is i think starting to make a difference. >> appreciate your effort and ever time we drive across the bridge and use fast track or whatever there is the same information that is collected anyway. >> thaurng. thank you. >> did i ask for public comment on this? come on up.

>> good afternoon again commissioners. cathy delukea from walk san francisco. um, we are excited to see all the projecktds that are breaking ground and all the amazing communications work that being done around vision zero. i didn't speak about that but we are excited to see the vision zero message getting across the city and raise aing awareness and hopefully change thg culture this is in our control. on the flip side, disappointed to see projects are delayed still. we have no time to waste, we are not getting closer to goal. disappointed we haven't got ase passed and worked on this with the city and still working hard but we really need this tool. we are look frgward to the two year action strategy. hopefully it will give a chance to change course and adjust what we are

doing to pick things that are really having a impact so look forward-the department of public health is evaluating vision zero so looking what we are doing and what is working and not and hopefully we can use that data it be effective because we got to move. i would say anything you can do to help us move in your districts or as a city, we really need your leadership. >> thaurng. any other pub luck comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item number 6. >> item 6, mayors executive directive on achieving vision zero. this is information item. >> good afternoon. luis, montoya the liverable streets director with sfmta. i want to talk about the mayors executive

director. 19 people lost their lives on san francisco streets so far this year. june 22, we experienced two particularly horrific deaths of two woman bicycleing. one in golden gate park and one south of market area. in response to these ongoing the persistent traffic deaths we see, the mayor issued the executive directive to refocus our efforts to give us specific goals to focus on in the near term and also make sure that we are focusing on the areas where the two women were killed. there are 13 areas and range from safety infrastructure on the streetss to also the education work you heard about today as well as making our city vehicles safer and making sure we educate our city workers. i want to talk about the various infrastructure measures in the

executive directive. starting out the mayors has really set the bar high for us. saying we should be installing the highest achievable safety measures on the high injury networks. the high injury netdworks are the areas of san francisco where we know we have collision problems and we really need to make sure we are investing in the insfru infrastructure. the mayor asked to increase the annual goal of mileage of saelft infrastructure on the streets from 13 miles to 18 miles. this is specific goal in the executive directive around protected bikeways to implement 3 projects in the near term for producted bikewaysism we are shooting for a number of more projects . this shows 13 miles of existing protective

bikewaysism we have projects in the pipeline in soma, on the boarder with the mission, and these are really the-air eyes where we see a lot of craushs and growing bicycle in volume and want to take quick action to get the protective bikeways on the streets. here are updates on projicts we hope to take to the board this fall. they are under interdepartmental review. we are haveic a public meeting for 7th and 8th street promect later this month and work with neighbors on the rest the projects in the next coming mupths. >> can i ask a quick question? how do we get-i'm interested getting more protective bikeways in district 9, how do we do that and encourage you to make sense to so many people the mission and district 9 and

bruno height saz priority, how do we make that happen? >> we is a plan here and don't have a slide on it for investment in bicycle infrastructure throughout san francisco especially in the mission where there is a lot of bicycleing and collisions mptd our approach is to pick the corridors where we know want people to bicycle and go corridor by corridor and work with neighbors to figure the most appropriate solution for those streets. i would say we will come to your office with our plans for investment in your district and have the conversation how to work with neighbors to figure how to get protective bikeways on the streets. >> great, we look forward to doing that, just let us know when i reedy to go. >> great. thank you. aums the silet also site of a tradagy june 22 is golden gate park. golden gate park is a tresh frr san francisco. a place for

people bring their families from all around the region and the world. but the streets there are designed to allow speeding in many cases. they are overly wide or where there is not parking on the week days or evenings we see folks speeding through. we want to work with park stakeholders and neighbors around the park and rec and park department on a hol istic plan to reduce speeding throughout the park and also reduce it as a attractive cut through for folks who are maybe cutting between the richmond and sunset or going east and west. as a near term measure as we kick off the larger conversation for safety in the park we will move forward immediately with a plan for speed humps on the western segment of jfk. where mrs. mills was killed. this is

where we know there is speeding and we can do something because speed humps are very effective and proven to reduce speeding. we are doing what we can and hope to have the speed humps installed in november. >> how many? >> ten. >> where would it be again? >> we are focus the first 10 speed humps between transverse and the great high way. and then like and said, through the communeky community process we will diss discuss if speed humps are appropriate for other parts of the park and other measures we can do throughout the park as well. also, as part the executive directive we are directed to do special analysis about the vulnerable

street users youth, seniors and people with disabilities. where do the folks get hit and what can we do to help them? this will dove tail with programs we are doing with outreach. safe streets for seniors program which is ongoing and has funding thanks to add backs from the board of supervisor jz safe routes to school partnership which works with the school community educate children and families and school stakeholders. this analysis will-along with outreach from those programs will advise the capital projects. where to do the safety invest ment, how to direct the safety programs to address the specific need of these vulnerable users. and lastly for today, just that the mayor calls to make sure we are transparent and that we are irk work wg communities on all

these initiatives, so we will give regular project updates through this committee, but also on our website, through our board, making sure we give regular update ons the near term initiatives we are directed to achieve but also to give folk as chance to weigh in and share how we can do this better. thank you. >> okay. commissioners campos? >> quick question. i know i have >> to run quickly, but i thank you to the mayor for the directive-executive directive. and that covers all city and countyagys and employees but doesn't cover all the government agencies, so wondering whether or not we have approached superintendent of schools, 115 schools. they

have transportation and a number of things as well and also city college, the chancellor of whether we have asked them to issue a similar directive? >> yeah, that is a great idea. we have been work wg other like the port and other related groups but you are absolutely right, working with those groups is great. >> thank you. any public comment on the item? come on up, jans. >> commissioners thank you so much for putting this on the agenda for today. obviously the event of june 22 were very difficult for everyone who lived in san francisco and there was a out cry of anger and frustration and lot of feelings that came out that i was copied on and you should have seen my inbox, about 1500 e-mails including 200 hand

written letters to the mayor and so after a month long of conversations with the mayors aufs along with sfmt a and orelt others we are thrilled the mayor has taken a step but we know the hard work only begins now and incumbent on all to make sure the commitments are seen through and very pleased at what luis presented to hurry up the projects. i think that is what we hear most is there a real need for the city to be more nimble and more responsive so we are glood glad to hear there is very data driven effort to make sure there is a comprehensive and strong way to make sure our streets are changing for the better and not just small changes but thinking about next generation of what our street design infrastructure can look like. so, i think here is the trying to figure out where the

ta and commissions or board of supervisors can move the pieces forward and insureing [inaudible] are taken care of whether through legislation [inaudible] we appreciate your xhilt and the discussion here. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello again. cathsy dulukea from walk san francisco. i was reminded walk san francisco and bike coalition are partners in the safe routes program and another partner is the school district so the person in the school district can talk to had superintendent and make the link so we'll work on that. in termoffs the mayors executive director we are excite today see the commit. no time like the present. we really need this. we are thrilled to #150e see the seniors and folks with disabilities prioritized. we started vision zero coalition

to focus on these issues with the trashes on [inaudible] we will work with the city on identifying these hot spots and coming up with improvement said. the part the directive we are really really interested in is sth high quality safety infrastructure. we want to see that happen in real life. now we are not seeing that and a good example is the eltaraval project which includes a pilot portion where boarding islands will not be included mpt . instead of that the city proposed painting some word on the travel lane that says, yield to pedestrians. that is not high quality infrastructure and won't keep people safe. that isn't in lie with the mayors directive so the city takes this directive seriously and builds robust projects that keep people safe. i always think my time is
