dispensary richard have been so forth coming in their security plan how they want to support the surrounding community the as a matter of fact the medical cannabis dispensaries are legal in california additionally the planning commission has deemed the proposed site of the mcd to be within a green zone the zone the city has acceptable to have an mcd i see lots of signs saying keep san bruno safe i two time to keep it safe i have two children studied by the san francisco planning commission and the police department have proven that crime rates near mcds decline excuse me - i believe that the security richard have planted will be at the end of the mcd why not let them open a legal

business on san bruno if not them than who won will eventually open especially the people of california voted for recreational marijuana to be legal better so have 80s two gentlemen that want to help the neighborhood than an unknown entity to open up on a side note my husband a veteran and army education has taken a toll on hi body he's had many surgeries shortly after he retired from the army he tried a strain of marijuana and it did a lot for his mobility thank you and have a nice day. >> (speaking foreign language.)

houses what concerns me the most is really the potential crime things like that and also the children in the neighborhood easy assess and without - i don't see too much for leasing in the neighborhood especially in the low income neighborhood so like what would stop people from reselling the marijuana i've known classmates that smoke marijuana i support people's rights to smoke marijuana and use it for ma intensely purposes but that is earlier assessable four for our children to buy it off someone that is what concerns me the most.

saying that marijuana is bad in any way that's why there are medical reasons he support that but feel in this community already a culture and community that already works well the way it is by adding this in they can't understand not good thank you. >> hello my name is david i'm here to voice any concerns of no mcds i've been a resident of san bruno for along those i can remember and live partially like two houses away i believe we shouldn't open up a dispensary from my experience i've seen a lot of students around the area people say yeah high schools but children will be given assess to the marijuana i believe this is

true we on one there especially the high school they be able to assess it, it, it in outside of the school literally take the bus and pass by the dispensary they're the ones that purchase marijuana from reselling it to what will stop other people from having access to it i believe no mcds thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good evening, commissioners so i'm here not to debate the merit of the decision of marijuana but to speak out begins in mcd that is proposed on san bruno avenue there's a fact there are many commuters that use the bus stops on various corners and mr. of those are really young children we are well aware that cigarette

smoke is bad for your health and causes lung cancer and bronchitis smoke linger for a long time for me sorry to me have no objection to the person use of marijuana, however, with that mcd your dictating the lives of business owners many are right next to the establishment strongly opposed to this thank you for your time. >> hi, my name is henry no mcd in san bruno avenue because that area a lot of the school up there thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is

a fiona my mcd in our area neighborhood keep san bruno avenue safe thank you. >> any other speakers outside? >> okay is there any other public comment? >> folks that have not spoken already. >> hello my name is e sdeblg he graduated from the high school and i believe that the mcd that's going to open up on san bruno will be a great place for people that take transportation on the sfmta because dispensary open on

mission street i believe that ever bus stop san francisco uses the bus stop transportation everywhere and i believe that's a great way for transportation it goes everywhere besides it being in front of san bruno i believe that is any assess for kids that go to burton or mlk that go down mission the same way as getting off the bus and having the medical dispensary and us on san bruno a lot of kids pass by but if we have good security in front of the medical cannabis there will not be you know assess for little kids or elderly or people that don't have their medical cards, however, i believe would be great security like we'll have

more officers because there's a police station on san bruno and we'll have a lot more security and police officers driving by around san bruno i believe it will be you know great security and safer for our community thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is wilson i'm an architect marshall arts sticker and master and healer i believe in holistic and herbal medication the main thing right now needs to be a canvas education ♪ project many people have seen

medical cannabis dispensary but this is a medical cannabis dispensary where you need license and doctors appropriations and things like that in order to go into that dispensary to obtain cannabis this is highly security with a good security plan list has been used many, many years ago thousands and thousands of years first for boo and arrow for the destruction but the found out sighed were good food source and medical source back from 27 b.c. to the empire the father of chinese medicine found out that did i didn't know and yank was high and unique he's used this

and parents on behalf of a lot of the participated and a long time resident near 3015 san bruno avenue i think you've heard from all the people more than three hundred speakers opposed no before you and 3 thousand signatures and gave it to you and you know that is a high traffic area so show you the video earlier by one of the members in the community and as you've heard federal law is a us 1922 illegal you know the health organization quote it as an illegal it is a drug it needs to be regulated, however, we looking at kindergarten elementary school and high school and has been coming here voig their concerns and earlier many people are limited in english they didn't say cd m

they're not informed and you know what the people who organized they do this in the fall and kick the family and children for hearing what happened i mitchel a teacher on weekend at the san francisco community empowerment center we know that two weeks ago ago we have more thousands of people and voiced their concerns no application for mcd on san bruno avenue not good for many people it has been presented to you already thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hi i was the leasing agent representing sailor to poverty i have a buyer the buyer wants to

- i did a little bit of homework i tell him not because too close to schools and also daycare and - my buyer asked me do you want to make money, of course, everyone wants to make money but please give up this it, it is too close to school and students have to stay home or community-based to school everybody be happy thank you very much god bless you. >> in dep>> next speaker, pl.

>> we're not here against the mcds unless one is opening next to the chinese i apologize for the patients that need an mcd i believe that medical marijuana is necessary for the chronically ill but not the right match san francisco is a difference city communities co-exist we respect and work with the new cultures san bruno a well established neighborhood for the chinese shops and restaurants grocery stores are set up to provide for those who make that corridor their home the old and young the sick and frail the monolingual and the under privileged came here to oppose no more extremely circumstances to preserve the

vibrancy than to respect the members of the community and their way of life how they raise their kids the last thing we need is for this peaceful neighborhood to have an mcd through the forbid of this subdivided community in addition wait for the marijuana tasking to finalize this for opening further mcd please turn down this project thank you for listening to the neighborhood voice. >> thank you. any additional public comment. >> (clapping.) >> okay. thank you. >> please. okay public hearing, public comment is closed. and opening up to commissioners commissioner melgar. >> thank you. i had a question of staff so in the project analysis under number

one you say that the project meets the criteria because the parcel containing the mcd not located one one thousands of private are public secondary school or public facility and the recreation center that primarily serves persons under 18 so did we not define child time that is 200 and 50 feet away as a facility serving children primarily under 18? >> yeah. in the code of elementary and secondarily schools childcare and daycare are in definition to a personal service and fall under a different category in the planning code. >> i see that as a difference without a definition the child is 5 it's not okay. but.

>> under any impression of the planning code due to the fact it daycare has no longer adult supervision with kids placing in soccer folds but in the interest of the code. >> but daycare is a preschool. >> correct. >> excuse me - excuse me - >> we won't tolerant any outburst okay. >> so the other question is about the neighborhood character and you know the last speaker who spoke said something that i pay attentioned about the task force and the design guidelines i lived next to a couple of mcds the storefront they change the pedestrian experience in front of those and seen it done really

well on one particular one that came from the commission was welcoming and warm so in our analysis of what they're proposing i think this will not change the neighborhood character. >> in my opinion the security they filed has to do their best to enforce the cbo school and their patrolling other mcds didn't have this extensive current like eyes on the street, i believe that is an item i discussed in the report. >> so you know just. >> in regards. >> my permanent having you know seen both the sort of having presents out there of the

school district a intimidating in a reads to the preschool i did multiple discussion with the zoning administrator on where that line falls he said the preschools and childcare's don't fall into the criteria we review within one thousand feet. >> thank you i will not be supporting the project i think the community is overwhelmingly against it and i don't think it is necessary and desirable for this particular spot and that think that is close to the freeway i think that we haven't quite studied the repercussions from the traffic an san mateo county for the the only reason and the character of the neighborhood. >> commissioner moore. >> thank you for the community coming out and speaking for or

against this is a difficult subject and while i hear commissioner melgar making observations which are partially shared would you, please not use our flashlight it is hard on any uses it is difficult for us using those criteria that govern how wore to look at the subject of mcd which we've done for 10 years or longer to basically take the push back from the neighborhood as an element by which we just what can and can't be if i simply look at mcd not the newest interpretation of recreational marijuana the rules are clear i'll mr. spears the community mentioned middle school, high schools and other public facilities which my

definition would fail under consideration, however, i don't see a map which responses to what the community claims is nearby can you explain i see those two discriminated and basically, the interpretation of the childcare preschool facilities there is nothing there isn't that correct. >> within one thousand feet no trirth the secondarily and other communities. >> i assume you attended the community outreach merge so the instructions by which the community understand we're about to do has been made clear to everyone. >> i was not able to did hearing was adjusted due to the fact that was original scheduled on the 26 and moved up to the 5 they adjusted things i was not able to attend. >> the difficulty not us

having the planning code to know those instructions basically, what governs us to do has been communicated to the community because personal opinions in this case don't matter as much as we're asked to do and take an impartial look how mcds that is state law supported when i the city and county of san francisco can and should be placed the discussions over the last 10 years is neighborhood entity we've been concerned about the strong doesn't even clustering up and down michigan street that particular push back from madam chair rosales including supervisor campos and now we're fourth street health in an area where that is possible to place one but have this incredible push back by the community the only thing i want to add and

basically, not clear where i personally need to take this a passing of proposition 64 a lack of clarity there's a lack of new benchmarking of what we need to do because we need i think extra combines in order to do this properly i see director rahaim need can you ask a little bit of a purview of where you think this is going. >> commissioners with respect to the state bladed measure 64 we're work together with the department of health to develop regulations what seems korea to date i should say that will take many months the proposition at the state level was literally if you recall 46 different types of liquor licenses the same thing 12 different types of off

recreational marijuana regulations they don't center the regulations in place but identified 12 types of licenses we'll have to develop the regulations and the state licensing procedure will not be in place until january of next year and we're to have them in place in september to be ready what is clear we'll be still need to regulate medical marijuana mcds because of the way the state law is structured a definition not totally clear how much of a distinction but between medical and recreational facilities you'll probably see them in some fashion not automatically be approvable is my likely presentation. >> the only thing at many

moment the may the record show are entrepreneurial but community-based to licensing by public health extra should ultimately be able to become hybrid mcds so the mcd plus recreational at many moment as it is unclear to us makes it extremely difficult to be falling into the difficult of this important dialogue relative to the land use to make decisions about mcds without knowing what the future will bring for us who went through the process i'm torn - >> just to be clear to add the state are regulate a license marijuana but the ballot measure allows the cities to regulate

from the land use perspective so we could be the cities could be more restrictive, if you will, they can't be less retrofit but add additional regulations at san francisco's choosing so there will be many choices us or for us to make and the mayor's to regulate the industry. >> and it is i guess the bottom line what i learned in the last meeting he attend a lot more complicated than i thought and several months to work out this. >> thank you. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> okay. so i look at san francisco passed 74 percent i

don't have a breakdown of the supervisors district not easy to find on the website with the department of the election he found it hard to believe that district 9 or 10 went the other way san mateo county we have a concern they don't have medical cannabis dispensary and we're worried about tourism with the traffic and quality of life issues passed 63 to 37 percent so if you were in san mateo and my board of supervisors or county commissioners said we'll continue our moratorium on mcds i'll have to think again that eliminates that medical cannabis tourism from san bruno and get our pot and do the quality of

life and smoke or con assume and we're worried about them getting home the issue i have is threshold for conditional use a necessary and desirable we're looking exceptional or extraordinary but i'm sitting here what is quitclaimi exceptional or extraordinary this business what is extraordinary is the unknown so if we approve that today what worries me the proposition 64 gives the cities and counties the allowance to not make it more likely but to restrict if we approve that today i'm not sure we're approving a conversion to a adult use in the future we don't have the regulations i don't know if we have is things that are

retroactive there are things that are approved and grandfathered in i don't know that and the city attorney not here we have no idea what things look like come september one so also i'm not sure what the ability to convert from eating and drinking and consuming to smoking it in the future if we approve this today bans the consumption of eating and drinking how can we do it in the future i don't know. i don't have any background in the city attorney or staff a couple of questions i did have project sponsor of the 17 different state licenses you'll - what licenses do you need now. >> right now states licenses are not available and the applications for the state in the process of doing the

regulation now for the different licenses types no states licenses we can apply for based on the m m r s a adopted by legislative we'll need a retail outlet license in addition to san francisco license. >> what i was mentioning the issue of the listening. >> by no means if you approve an mcd now the establishment will be able to sell to recreational users in the future the city is looking at how it wishes to regulate right now we have the rules in place now sincerely the certainly the applicant met all the

requirement we talk about you think the community sentiment no way the district went from 76 percent citywide to somehow opposed a lot of the people that showed up to testimony against it are not from the neighborhood bus in from other neighborhood. >> we've had this situation the most recent one that approved two recently one i think that was 60 square feet in the financial district. >> divisadero and south of market was delivery only this is retail which i'm just more hesitant i take pause in trying to understand what the ramifications are for the neighborhood i'll let the

commissioner weigh in. >> i share some of the concerns you have not sure at that point of limbo what we are approving could be converted to so i have hesitation i have a question that commissioner melgar asked is it true that phil and john burton high school are outside of a thousand feet 3 blocks away from the guaranteeing maps. >> yes. a map in the staff report i think that is just after. >> i see that. >> yeah. it is from one thousand feet from parcel to parcel it falls outside of that south radius. >> thank you for confirming that. >> yeah. i don't know if i see

this as exceptional or extraordinary need for the neighborhood obviously folks from the neighborhood and also folks in support from the neighborhood but it is pretty clear the majority are not in support of this. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> so i guess we brought 5 members up here we need 4 to take dr to take dr or not take dr the project is approved as say, i see we have a split opinion i move to continue this to september 21st when we can understand what the regulations will look like. >> second. >> jonas when something is continued. >> generally speaking anything that has received notice 6

months ago would require renotice so in this particular case is requires renotice so. >> let's continue it within 6 months. >> commissioners it is up to i was asking the - the option to continue it indefinitely you can reinforms it we'll - if you condition it indefinitely it will have been to renoticed anyway. >> let's shot for a date september 21st. >> is that okay excuse me - commissioner melgar. >> can i comment on that. >> fundamentally it seems unfair you have the rules in place they've followed them to

continue this because you, i don't know what the board of supervisors may or may not do with the task force may or may not and it is up to them. >> i mean not seeming right to put them in limbo for another 6 months you should follow the dr. >> the other option to simply say no. >> i think that is what the project sponsor was saying you can approve it or say no to the dr. >> commissioner moore. >> director rahaim i think planning and the commission have an active ingredient because of the land use all the questions

will combo play we look at recreational marijuana in this category it still needs to support all objectives of planning and neighborhoods of criteria having said that, i believe that continuing it will be with the intent to inform ourselves and the next level of judgment is a fair response to the ambiguity we're in this commission has 99.9 percent throughout the years we've sat here long or short or in between supported and approved all the mcds we have to sit here we've done that you probably know that it's for that reason i think we're fair to the quany to

suggest a continuance to give you a better response at the time when we have that information. >> there are that be more criteria but not undermine what we need to do and we'll clarify that. >> so - let me know scombhifks commissioner vice president richards. >> are you taking a financial hit if you wait 9 months we should say no. >> we prefer you not say no, of course, but i mean other options available condition it upon you you know coming allow them to open for the 9 months and come back and require they be reapproved and then have some

that real data and can see has it increased crime has there been issues with children getting in there their phantom issues. >> i realize not a lot of issues but cultural issue we have cannabis dispensaries in my neighborhood that are well ragged if there was no prop 64 i'll absolutely be in favor of that but the unknown is extraordinary. >> of course we will not prefer you disapprove we're requesting the ability to open up, of course, the applicants will be dancing a significant financial hit by delaying it.

>> come back for additional approval. >> i don't know if we can do that. >> with the city attorney. >> i'm no longer a city attorney. >> i mean it does seem like from the commission has over the years been supportive and approved those mcds that met all the criteria your staff says that meets all the criteria why are you penalizing those people and to study with the dental recreational use we're not asking that but a medical marijuana use. >> i'm supportive of the continuance i'm sorry anything else. >> you have a majority for a

continuance then. >> okay. >> commissioner a motion is a motion that has been seconded shall i call the question? >> please. a a motion to continue. >> commissioner koppel. >> no commissioner melgar. >> commissioner >> commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 4 to one would go commissioner koppel voting against. >> commissioners that places us. >> (clapping.) >> - under general public comment excuse me - we have one more item general public comment there are no speaker cards. >> any general public comment this evening. >> we do is that allowable. >> sir, you spoke under general public comment this morning. >> thank you.

>> okay. any general public comment okay. seeing none public comment is closed. the meeting is adjourned happy the commission will come to order and secretary will call the roll. [inaudible] singer, here. chow, present. chung-sanchez. approval of minutes of december 20, 2016. >> the minute are before you and motion for acceptance is in order. >> so moved. >> is there is second, please?

>> secsd. second. >> any corrections to the minutes? not seeing any all in favor say aye. >> aye >> opposed. >> item 3 is directors report. >> director. >> happy new year commissioners and those in the audience. a couple item, every year the mayors office asks for nomination for good government awards and we send one so this year we sent the [inaudible] move team and they were selected fl the good government award and so we are really proud of them. this recognizes outstanding leadership, creativity and kis tinction in san francisco government and since the program inception more than hundred city and county employees receive the award. individuals receive the award and glup award so happy to note

all the good work that the team did to transition to the new hospital will be acknowledged and there will be a award ceremony across at city hall and let all the commissioners know whether that is. as we have the ceo ptd to give her part of that award. shape up san francisco was honored by the board of supervisors led by eric mar. they acknowledged decade of work to make healthy choices. this is a coalition of groups within the city san francisco department of public health participates in. i want to give a update on a incident that happened on thursday. there was a shooting in front of 240 golden gate which is next door to tom ligal and it was two fatalities that happened there. tom

[inaudible] there werefore staff members outside of the clinic at the time. one of the staff members were grazed by a bullet. they were not injured at all, but small cut on their arm. both roland and i went and talked to staff at night and went the next morning to the clinic. we also worked with the staff, had crisis counselors there. the staff shared with us their great concern of the safety of the neighborhood. we have a security person inside the clinic, but outside on golden gate there is a lot of drug activity. this happened-this incident was a drug activ tee that happened. so, we immediately had bazal price a security director was in the middle 06 a security assessment of that

location. we did know we would have to put a sheriff in that area, so we immediately put two sheriffs to do rotations on that street. i also had a conversation with the deputy chief of the police, we talk today the captain ofteneder loin station and the sheriff and the police are working together on trying to do a lot more rotation walks around in the clinic. not inside the clinic but outside the clinic is basically where the staff felt so concerned. we are also will be allowing staff who are feeling unsafe to walk from-we had a couple incidence they shared of walking from the bart to the clinic and from the clinic to the bart that we will also encourage staff if they like reimbursement for that small frip trip on uber if that will support

their safety. also, there will be escourts by the sheriff for those who park in the area. this was a unusual occurrence, i wanted the commissioners to know how we responded so the staff there felt that we responded in i think a quick fashion and we are very supportive of the actions we took and the leadership of primary care was involved and will do a lot of the follow up from our work on last week. i just wanted to inform the commissioners of that incident. >> thank you. commissioner-were there any public comments to the directors? >> not received public comment requests for this item. >> commissioners questions to the director or comments concerning the report? we of course again congratulate the team for having won this award. >> shall i move on? >> if there are no further comments, then we will proceed to the

next item. >> item 4, general public comment. not received requests. we can move to item 5 which is rart back from finance and planning committee from today. >> commissioner chung. >> good afternoon commissioners. the planning committee met before the commission meeting today and we have reviewed prop i request and also a contract report and two new contracts and we are recommending with the exceptions of one contract in the contract report that belongs to theu csf on the employment service, the rest we are recommending for the commission to approve and the reason for

post poning theu csf contract is we felt we needed a little more data to understand the operation oaf the program and so we will revisit the approval for that in the next finance and planning committee meeting. >> questions to commissioner chung concerning the finance and planning committee report? if not we'll proceed to the consent calendar. >>ite 786 is consent calendar. as note #d by commissioner chung for the contract reportu csf f contract is removed as you move forward to approve. >> committee recommending is

recommending approval . any discussion for the consent calendar or anyone like to take any other item off? we are prepared for vote on the consental caener de. all in favor of the consent calendar please say aye. >> aye. >> opposed ken sent calendar is passed. >> item 7 is the vision zero update and also a resolution. i believe commissioner chow would like to say something about that. >> as we receive the update on vision zero because the strategic plan is still in process and presented the resolution itself would be deferred until the presentation of the full strategic plan if that meets with the consent of the commission. >> i believe the date the

resolution is presented is february 7, 2017. >> okay. please proceed. >> thank you so much. good afternoon. my name is megan we're, the director of the plan of health equity and sustainability and cochair the vision zero task force. thank you so much for the opportunity to provide the update today. i also want to acknowledge cochair mar wroe-hunter of the municipal transportation agency and a number of colleagues from dph i'mprieveolog privileged to work with on the initiative. i first wanted to just open summarizing our iftality data and vision zero so the goal is eliminate traffic fatalities in the city by 2024. this chart depicts the fatalities in san francisco from 2005 to 2016 and i wanted to note the data is only through november of

2016. um, the blue is people killed while walking, green, biking and red in vehicles. roont years we had approximately 30 people kimed on ourb streets. i want to note data is being finalized for 2016 and will issue a end of year report in the next couple weeks. we have a traffic fatality protocol we implement with the mta and pd ochb a monthly basis that draws from international and national best practice to reconcile fatalities in the medical examiners aufs and please investigationism many are reported in the media, however, some of them are not and we also do include or exclude suicides and other particular circumstances. we look forward to issuing that report as soon as we can. many people are interested and committed to having acprt data. while we don't have sth final numbers for this year we know we have lot more

work with respect to vision zero. we have a lot going on with increase in population and construction, increasing in walking and bike and taking transit which is goal of our city and aults have increases a lot of attention paid toward the transportation network companies such as uber. we also have the national contacts, so we are seeing a estimated increase in fatalities in 2016 relative to 2015 of 10 percent so we know we need to do a lot more and look to international evidence and best practice said. if san francisco was selected to be a part of innational network we meet including new york, seattle to share lesson learned and advance the agenda we are

committed to to. we need to understand the data. the key thing weez know bat faltyties, my team worked with san francisco general troounderstand cost so there are approximately 50 percent of people at the trauma center at the hospital are there for transportation injuries at a cost of approximately 35 million as annually. i think of it as a health oriented. this helped eliminate for us the opportunity to make a significant impact on the cost we see at the hospital as a third of the severely injuryed patients comprise [inaudible] we also see reduction in the medical costs. we know people walking comsprise over half the people

killed thatd seniors are more much moreivaliable and speed is highly correlated with death and know yoi pass #d a resolution last year on automate #d speed enforcement. thank you so much, that is really important for us. we know large vehicles are more deadly particularly people walking and biking and iftalities are trait concentrated on the high injury network. a refresher how we go to today. we asopt dopted vision zero beginning of 2014 and worked on the two year strajied and have a website and collaborate with multiple city agencies on this goal 6789 with respect to progress the team created the high injury network. we roll #d out city wide campaigns. the first is a driver yielding campaign, that is the number one cause of pedestrian injury and found target #d locations of 4 percent increase

in driver yielding where we saw engineering and enforcement efforts. thiss year i'm excited boot the speed #c578 pain launched in aublth. every weeblg the sfpd targeted speed enforcement on high injury corridor. we have a team of data collectors in sth field evaluating this on a weekly basis and it is a year long campaign paired with educational and outreach that [inaudible] is also coordinating on and looging forward to seeing the results of thatd. we were ahead of schedule for implementing project said so the team committed to 24 projucts in 24 months and completed 30. the bautdm rate you see the tagt enforcement and i apologize sfr the lack of a legend but dark blue is yielding, the light blue running and the [inaudible]

orange running and green [inaudible] those are the 5 more deadly violations that contribute to fatal injuries in san francisco. the police department committed to 50 percent and achieved that 50 percent this year in august for the first time and continued to achieve that important goal. at the bottom left is transbase and that is a integrated spatial own online data anamsis that links data with a host of factors to understand injury patterns in our city and san francisco is leading the way with respect to best practice on data. again, just we cant really struss enough the importance of speed and speed is the focus of vision zero for the last two years. at the top we see the likelihood of surviving at 20 miles per hour a 9 opercent, 40 miles per hour is 20 percent and that is why as you saw last year we are pursuing the policy team from mta and

other key staim holders automated safety or speed enforcement that enable automate #d speed enforcement in san francisco. i'm excited to say that i believe is legislative sponsor has been secure squd look forward to a formal announce 789 at the thochbd months and think you know the potential impact this can have and we also at the end of last year saw the families for safe streets launch and that is modeled on a similar group in new york city of the families of victims of severe and fatal traffic injuries and automated speed enforcement is a key initiatives that they will work with us to help advanss vance. now the action strategy frathe coming two years. we are again really refocus and taking what we strong foundation we developed the last two years and looking forward to launching the end of inmonth the next two year action strat ag. in the past we focused on the tools that we

used, engineering enforcement and education and refocus on the outcomes we need to create. we need to create safe streets and that has a lot to do with engineering but for everyone to understand what we are trying to create toort and thiss drawing on international practice is helpful 6789 safe people is the cull chrm change we need to see in san francisco to realize vision zero and elevating safe vehicles. there is a lot emerging with ecknowledge we think is a opportunity for us. this is list of the active agencies that have provided feedback, ateneded stakeholder meetings and are really committing to actions within the strategy. we also conducted community outreach meetings having a workshop in city hall and went to vision zero coalition meeting and on a line survey and thrilled with the response. the core sprinsple for the stratd

strategy are grounded in public health to prevent traffic deaths and are preventable and safety and preserve ation of human life is our highest priority. the health department has a important role elevating equity and by that we mean prioritizing #450u78en life in all communities and eliminating historic disparities with injuries and insuring actions are sensitive to community context and exacerbating existing disparities. we have been wurging with the police department and a lot of the work they are doing on racial justice to insurethosis opportunities and the work they are doing are advanced through the vision zero actions. safe streets, safe people, safe vehicle jz speed round out ourb coreb principles. this is-not

only equity but community engagement. a important lesson learned in the last 2 years is the importance having the community engaged and invested in improvement s that can help save lives. community engagements has its own section and [inaudible] done a lot of great work to elevate community engagement. with respect to the outreach, we received a lot of great feedback being more transparent about the challenges we have and stakeholders engaged seems to grow and think we have a lot of opportunities with respect to affordable housing and the tech industry and other areas with respect to equity particularly given the importance of seniors. [inaudible] program is advancing the non web and text base communication for outreach to the population jz opportunity.

automated [inaudible] how to become a model. for considering actions included we ask ourselves is it promoting the core principles and pushing the city to gobebusiness as usual and also accomplish what we want in the two years. looking how to target resources, having evidence based actions, making sure somebody is owning it and started or completed within the two years. i wanted to end with a samp 8 of actions that highlight a lot of things that dph is involved in. some examples include working with our mta and launching a comprehensive analysis of bike injury collisions and looking at predictive modeling, not only the high injury network but faketers that predict where bike injurys are happening so we can target improvements before they occur. we are working close with the mta to look at

transit relate #d injury collision jz how improvements with respect to transit can prioritize safety. continuing the safe routes for schools and safe streets for seniors led by ana and safe street for people with disabilities. we have a lot of great resources at the city to help people-we have interest in the police department and dph and make sure the immediate days following tragedy families have the most support they can have. support evaluation and monitoring and also looking to develop a speed monitoring cystism. we know speed is the biggest predictor so how to get a better sense of are we changing speeds on city streets. improving engineering project development and

implementing citations to see what is cited and where and how it relates to injury patterns. that concludes my normal presentation. the resolution is in your packet and welcome any questions you may have. >> thank you. is there public comment? >> there is not public comment for this item. >> commissioners, questions to our presenter? >> if you had two wishes, some of these things are hard to get done in the context of multicity departments, the state-what are the two things you twd would do if you could snap your fingers that are trickiest to do to get through but would have the biggest impact on the number of traffic deaths? >> i really do believe the city

is in the right direction with respected to automate #d speed enforcement. in san francisco i think it will be a true game changer. we know the evidence from other cities. i think also the opportunities with the more comprehensive street improvements that create a much slower traffic and more of a pedestrian scale experience. we have like some examples of like linden alley is a [inaudible] a lot of times with respect to the public involvement, things that require trade-offs like parking removal are also things that have the highest impact or [inaudible] reducing the number of lanes on a street to 1 to 2 from the 3 to 4 lanes we have seen. those are the potential for some of the most significant impacts and that is why we focus on community engagement this year and how

we can help everyone understand the traif-offs trade-offs we are making as san francisco moves forward. >> thank you. >> commissioner [inaudible] >> the streets trat are targeted in san francisco i assume there is a data that supported the #2we6b8 streets that you chose. can you give a example of those 12 streets in san francisco? i live here too and think my street is danger. >> yeah. i will call my-devon. i know devon with rattle them off. pop quiz or at least 56789 >> i know geary, harrison, >> could you state your name? >> devon morris. >> geary, harrison,-what else?

sunset, pine, i believe, kirk, couple more. >> we have a great map that was included. >> you got a big- >> san jose [inaudible] i can't get them all. >> maybe you can provide the 12 to us. >> he is my gis spatial analyst genius and leads the evaluation so thank you for letting me put you on the spot. you can bring them next month. >> appreciate that and like to see. the other part is the actively engaged in the targeting for speed is that now or up pcoming? >> it launched in october so actively enforcing one a week they have

a targeted about 3 hour operation. >> okay, thank you very much. >> you want the schedule of those? >> i may drive down the street. >> commissioner sanchez. >> i just think the work that is done is really significant and you have put up parameters and radar and think we are getting-the database is within a year period but as we look at different variables and there is more discussions with areas being targeted or whatever, we will come in with really additional material. there is one area though that is always stuck in my radar even when it was first introduced and that pertains and brought up again and you do a very good job is seniors and hand icapped. i'm saying that because in

particular mta has with the feds have worked on a design, especially on mission street where i'm familiar with and we have the red zones so this way transportation can go very rapidly. there was a elimination of multitude of bus stops, which many of not only store owners but seniors and people living in the area felt were very important to have input but felt maybe there is another round for discussion because they felt elim naseing a number of bus stops were putting people at higher risk especially hand icapped and elderly. let me give you a example, 24th and mission, very very busy place. the bart station t we have the red zones coming this way, you have the school bruss and buses coming down 24th street to 48 and kids from the middle school and high school or

whauv. whauv. you have the other bus line and bart and street vendors, you have preachers, you have music-you have a little community there, but what happened is because a multitude of inbus stops have been eliminated like a block down in front of wallgreens was a bus stop and many seniors would #145u7 in the fruit market and get on the bus there knowing they did ptd want to go to 24th and mission because it is hectic. i'm saying it is becomes a zone of concern because there are times you can't even cross mission street or 24th when you have that critical mass. there is 48 and another bus gets off, the bart people run for bart and with the new community have a lot of people with the suit cases trying to run to get to bart to go to the airport. it

becomes hectic. all i'm saying as we look at this further if we can make take a look and not just areas where there are cars and buses but also sidewalks and elderly and hand icapped who live in the communities and directly effected by this, it really effects sthem. even on 16th and bart where we have a multitude of unique things mpt . we have the center for the homeless and native american center a block away and center of latino a block away and elementary schools. buses, school kids and bart andu csf shuttles come and drop people off from mission bay tou csf so it is very very invested and i know i helped a number of our people just navigate through at this time or they get confused

because they can't go anywhere for about 15 minutes until everything clears out. in essence, i want to be positive because i am about the report and what we are doing, but i'm saying especially because you shared the equity part about listening to the community and their needs and a way to meet the needs by safety and for all our citizens not to just speed up transpor tation or the bikes or whatever, but we have to take a look at the human variable especially those who have lived in the city for many many years and our hand icapped and vets are having tough times now. i just hope we may look at that in the future and maybe after we goat our data for the next year we might have more insight on if there is a possibility we could meet some of the
