and storing cars we know as difficult it can be to organize the use of streets for all of the activities we need streets are 25 percentage the land area this is the largest amount of lands that is in public ownership the people's land in san francisco more lands in streets than parks in our city and also a bureaucratic plan so many agrees that manage aspects the streets many are singular in their focus with one aspect or one set of systems and using them for other than storage of cars is much, much difficult than it needs to be but 0 so much of the public space in looter neighborhoods see in bye lands for parks it is expensive we need to get smarter as

supervisor wiener. >> all yours. >> madam chair thank you for agendizing those items colleagues over the past years i've called for and held a series of hearings at this committee on the topic of street lights and menu done issue better late than never but one that impacts many, many people daily lives in terms of the safety and liveability of our neighborhoods we have a discussions a number of issues all of the goal of improving street lighting in san francisco and having street lights that actually litigant the sidewalks so pedestrians what cock securely and having good maintenance so that lights burn out less frequently and replaced quickly and move

forward the led conversion we're currently undergoing and the divided ownership of the street lights some of our street lights are owned by our public utilities commission and pg&e and some of the challenges that causes the need for better and better corporation between the two agencies as well as any progress for the adopted policy this board adopted at my request that the puc should own all of the street lights which pg&e has pubically stated at this committee that that didn't have an objection to assuming something can be negotiated safety on the streets at night is incredibly important for people not tripping and falling and people feeling safe in their neighborhood a basic responsibility of government

in 2014 i offered legislation the board adopted to establish a number of policies are for street lights i nodded one of the policies for the municipal ownership and scale lighting along a block updated that adam pedestrian scale late night will be provided transitioned towards led i know is happening having a uniform response time for the out oxen's on the 311 system the ordinance requires an annual report to the supervisors today's hearing is an update thank you to pg&e to report and so with that, i the call that barbara hale from the utilities commission. >> excuse me - i'll have to step out i'll not be able to

stay but compliment barbara hale and others who worked on lighting the south of market dog patch and potrero hill and some of the dark areas and tell you when you add light it is significantly decreases car break-ins and mugings i want to express my gratitude for driving around district with me and allowing me to point out the dark spots barbara hale for power i'll go on the screen sfgovtv thank you. i think it pretty much all the topics supervisor wiener that you expressed the first two by the way, backward items 3 to six the performance issues and talk about you know sort of our emphasis areas for the future

going forward here a quick snapshot on the ownership division you talked about you know most of the lights are owned by the city by the san francisco public utilities commission in particular and then by pg&e but as you can see there is an assortment of city and state and federal agencies that own the lighting inside the city and county of san francisco when you look at the ownership breakdown focused on puc and pg&e here on this map an illustration it shows from dark blue to throw the lighter blues and graze to green the dominant puc being the dark blue and down the scale in color the pg&e ownership increased that gives us a quick snapshot on that and have series loops or regulated loops in the city they're kind

of an emphasis area their challenging for performance so i've highlight those here some owned by puc the yellow and red and some owned by the city black and blue with the red serious of loops converted those are 50 to 90-year-old system that operate like the hole holiday lights who won bulk goes out the whole series go out there are an emphasis area for repairs if you're having trouble without via contact the city 311 dial 311 from a phone or sfgov 311.com and have a handy app the puc has if you're standing in a

dark corner waiting for a bus feeling uncomfortable and report a light observed you can do that electronically our phone will locate where you are and tells you we can roll and truck and take care of it 311 then takes that information from a resident and then look at the database we have and sends the information to the puc we review to make sure that we are the owner and then we respond pg&e is the owner 311 knows the loopholes and sends to to pg&e directly and if not open a wood pole we refer those to pg&e we know are pg&es. >> this is an area it integration issue trying to work together with an area supervisor wiener you included in the policy that was ordinances 24013

one of the steps we undertaken to coordinate. >> thank you just a comment on i know you guys have been working and i appreciate that in terms of of the data do we have - >> yes. i have data. >> my apologies. >> you're asking a leading question here's how we are doing how are we responding to the 311 requests it shifts me to the performance part and what we've done adopted the levels of service on the puc on this slide what our exceptions are for our performance if it is a unsafe condition we're out there between twenty-four hour and if it is a return to service issue that might it takes time and not an unsafe a target of 48 hours

and we're doing pretty well let me go back the twenty-four hour make save 100 percent of the time meeting the level of goals in the twenty-four hours and for the items under the 48 hours column we're hitting about 66 percent on average performance just in the last fiscal year year we have 3 thousand plus of those sorts of requests so you know when how look at how many days in a year we're preparing on average 14 of that type of issue each working day you know a factor that effects our level of the performance is unplanned an unwarranted scheduled work. >> thank you when you say we your referring. >> i should be clear i'm talking about the san francisco

public utilities commission performance my extension that pg&e performance. >> but in terms of the integration and the data is that coming later. >> no so we are including i should back up 311 staff are including all out age in the 311 system we're collecting all requests puc requests are tagged that way and these that are pg&e problem areas are being tagged in the 311 system we can see through the 311 system how we're doing overall and the data i'm giving about our performance is from that system. >> i'm sure pg&e will talk about that i know that last time there were issues in terms of communication between 311 and

pg&e we're appreciative pg&e worked with them and appreciative their voluntarily doing that he, he know you're not involved but have a sense of belonging existence between 311
