pg&e we're appreciative pg&e and pg&e has a faster turn worked with them and appreciative their voluntarily around. >> my understanding the communication is happening doing that he, he know you're within 311 and pg&e we have not involved but have a sense of received feedback that per diem belonging existence between 311 at times closes items as complete in the 311 system when rather than them being complete their uncertain as to where the problem was so we have that issue area still or that issue to address in the relationship between 311 and pg&e where the 311 system will record it as complete and appears to the reader and resident to be fixed when in reality it is closed because they were unclear to where the outage or repair was needed. >> do you have a sense that issue is worked out. >> i don't know if it is
8:36 am
actively addressed i'll have to get back with you. >> i would preservative that 311 and we'll hear from pg&e. >> this is not on our list of to dos. >> 311 is a piece of that and managing that well with the 66 percent performance rate and the 100 percent performance rate the underground service alert those are where folks will be digging in the streets and need to know whether or not we have stuff they need to avoid you know with the development in san francisco at the pace it is going we're troef quite a bit of urban scheduled work through the underground service alert system it publicities us off our plan but overall we're performing
8:37 am
well and the other area the skeleton work is our pole assessment program as you can see through the 9 thousand plus poles we've taken a look at and deemed are acceptable condition 200 and 10 we've replied they needed to be replaced immediately we're thrilled also transitioning to a new pg&e tariff for decades distribution services from pg&e to all our electrical services and paid 18 to $21 million every year to pg&e for this serve that arrangement inspired we tried to negotiate a satisfactory agreement pg&e and the sfmta didn't. could agreement we're were before the regulatory commission this year making our arguments for the pg&e system we
8:38 am
awaited a decision to resolve that litigation and mommy a difficult time for the personally surface to connect the city load including our street lights but this is a bumpy area we're thrilled collaborating with inventory of life and conversion of the lights to led those areas were called out in the policy ordinance i referred to earlier supervisor wiener. >> and one of the other things that is challenging for us out on the streets is trees we love them they do impair our lighting performance they shade the streets there is a city ordinance that specifics the spacing between trees and lighting proper tree maintenance improves the street light system performance and one
8:39 am
of the first areas we look at when we get concerns from residents about the streets being dark he know there are street lights and the led encampments will improve our performance and procuring 18 thousand led lights we currently have a bid on the streets there the office of contract administration the low cost responses are due november 4th and had trouble getting the program on the ground but it is close to coming to a milestone november 4th bid response due date we're looking forward to seeing the financial savings into in less maintenance costs and less energy use and also the preserved safer streets because of the brighter quality of light ounce e once complete until the
8:40 am
citywide version is a completed and standard difficult to have a low blue temperature light we have insulated higher color temperature lamps and gotten negative fooeb if the community and sought the community input we use the lower left blue temperature lamps we're on a better pathway to satisfied residents on the pedestrian lighting another area called out in the street light policy ordinance you spoke of earlier we are following the better streets plan - and we are with
8:41 am
the exception of the light e valentine's day the led program the pedestrian and - are sponsored by other agencies typically and funding the street light area improvements which includes pedestrian lighting and so that's where you see in your capital improvement plan the area opportunity we have also a new distribute antenna system program the dos program a joint public-private partnership in which private carriers licenses the infrastructure the installation consist of a low pounder antenna kirnld in red on the slide as you can see are projecting a bump in revenues from this program when the board approves this program as we bought it to them we were urged
8:42 am
to expend those dollars on the street lights so as and move forward additional revenues to fund the areas i've talked about i want to highlight some of the more recent activities i mentioned this as a challenging area sngz on the slide we've converted open alamany boulevard over the next two we'll be taken care of we've completed the procurement for the third street light rehabilitation project coming to third street and distribute the antenna project i've mentioned as well and wanted to highlight the assessment and pole replacement this is a driver for your street light program invests our capital investments in the street light area in the future
8:43 am
as you can see those are some of the conditions that we're seeing as our pole assessment team is on the streets those are examples of the kinds of conditions we're encountering we're taking care of immediately others we assess for future improvements and with that, i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> before you hear from pg&e. >> thank you, thank you fewer presentation a few things in terms of the average number of days to fix street light problems is that 2.7.58. >> that's overall includes the 47 hour item so 66 percent of them are done within two days. >> okay and this page with the chart about the sfpuc level of service
8:44 am
goals i don't know the columns of grandchildren 48 houeater th thirty days. >> you're talking about the conditions where typically we need to make a purpose for to replace a knocked down pole or to assess the paint conditions and send a truck out those are typical situation they're not a safety concern with exemption of the knock down but we've given ourselves more room to address those concerns and apart because of the reality of the inventory we need to make purchases without the repair but also they typically are not you know the paints damage is typically not a
8:45 am
safety in the streets concerns. >> when it says meanings is twenty-four hours to check and one and 80 days for replacement. >> yes. so we check that and make it safe in the twenty-four hour period and certain it will not fall over and leave it make the order so we have an operating order as opposed to no light leave it there leon and make any orders we need to make to come back out and make the repairs and eliminate the leaning problem we give ours more time than the one and 80 days. >> great in terms of the pedestrian scale lighting i understand that the policies and interactions to the better
8:46 am
streets plan. >> created this back in the day for whatever the country went look at crazy with architecture but also with the redesigning everything around vehicles and wide streets and ripping you up streetcar tracks and building up everyone around the car and not everyone has a car so part of that was all about latin-american the streets for cars and lighting streets for pedestrian an afterthought if a tree is blocking the light i know that is a major under a taking to transform the city for the pedestrian scale lighting i hope one day we'll get there but let me know the process. >> we now have pedestrian lighting requirements in our
8:47 am
specifications so when a new block is being or an old block is converted the project sponsor is to install not only street lights but pedestrian lighting for the specification so as major improvements are concurring on a block by block basis the footage pedestrian lighting is being installed and exclude do load measuring the pedestrian amount of light is hits the sidewalks for the pedestrians in the conversion program so we are looking to both street and pedestrian lighting quality as we perform our lighting analysis and have prioritized converting to led fairways and pedestrian bridges
8:48 am
that are listed on the city streets and public right-of-ways so you're seeing a better quality of light and the puc is taking care of those areas. >> do you have a sense how long not for the whole project but until we, see a critical mass of lighting in san francisco do you think in the next 5 years changes. >> i'll be completely guessing if i gave you a number supervisor i can i got i need to work with planning to see what their seeing more major street improvements so because that's where the rules that we laid out at the puc would then come into play with a major improvement that have street front forgotten
8:49 am
and look at it other major streetscapes projects that city departments are sporndz their responsible for street light and pedestrian light improvements associated with the project for example, van ness brt that project includes a lighting element and the street and pedestrian lighting apply there i'll have to work with planning to get you an accurate picture. >> okay. thank you at this point we'll provide pg&e to provide an update as well. >> hi supervisors translation for giving us an opportunity to share pg&e outage and other issues we've been working with puck i unfortunately don't have

8:57 am
please come up mr. dulavich tom livable city streets is important we do it parolee in san francisco on the issue of street trees my goal i think the goal of the city to have a healthy tree companion but if you use 1950 highway style for lights you'll have healthy street companion and no lights on the sidewalk or no tree canopy and lights on the sidewalks the - it helps the disconnect i was disappeared years ago before you were supervisor when delores heights got new street lamps basically
8:58 am
in 1950s it was too high it lights the road whether a healthy companion and we're happy with delores heights but no light on the sidewalks we can't replace in kind and in many places the street lighting need to be rethroughout the other issue we need to look at trees pass as new residents i lived on guerrero street with those high highway street lights there are a terrific amount of light that floods into 2 and 3 story windows if you shield them and get more light on the sidewalks and less into people windows i hope we think about the maintenance piece it is very, very important but integrating them and mindful of our goals and oufshz whether the
8:59 am
health and liveability and urban forest is very, very important. >> thank you mr. dulavich seeing none, public comment is closed. so i will supervisor peskin if i could entertain a motion to file this item >> sure or i guess we can reintroduce if we want to continue to check in so sure i'll make a motion to file. >> without objection and madam clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body? >> there's no further business. >> then we're adjourned
