here at the sfmta and is principally responsible for applying all the bad thing, all the lessons learned from the boeing cars to our new cars. and when the cars arrived, we needed an implementation team. [train noise] i wanted to acknowledge janet gallegos who got us home as the project manager. [applause] she worked tirely wes her team. mike moda, who has been our chief engineer. [applause] and has worked with siemens to solve countless technical problems. it is not easy to design a complex vehicle and drop it in our system. but we were able to identify and address any concerns and issues. doug lee, are you somewhere? and this was a group, and finally on the kind of

full-time dedicated team, i want to acknowledge manny enriques. [applause] manny is somewhere here. for the last nine mo*fnzes he has been out overnight, virtually every night five, six, sometimes seven nights a week to help us hit this deadline. and he's probably inside because i realize at this point he is no longer used to sunlight. so -- [laughter] i'm sure he is glad that we will be getting these trains in service. but congratulations to all of them. and finally i do want to recognize some of the other people who contributed a lot of their time while they continued to do their daily responsibilities. scott broder. i see lisa wallton from i.t. who's worked with us in resolving system problems. terry fahey with the track crew. part of what was done was constant adjustment to fit a

highly technical vehicle on to our system which has to accommodate b.c.c.s and brada cars. not an easy test. maintenance. kept the system going while we drained a lot of key staff to work on the l.r.v.4. so, it is for me an honest and straight forward sincere thank you. job well done. one down and 267 to go. [applause] >> thank you, john. again, a lot of folks to acknowledge. but our finance folks, our legal team, our procurement folks, our materials folks, other agencies, a lot of folks coming together to make something like this happen. we did go through a rigorous, competitive process to select the company that would build these cars and we were happy

that what came out of that with siemens in part because of they're based right here in california. once we were through the competitive process, we really joined with them in partnership, worked as an integrative team to get these cars here. we're proud that they're designed and built right here in california. and, you know, back to the schedule point, we're at a state now where they want to continue to advance the schedule and essentially they are ready to send cars here as fast as we can take them and pay for them. so, that is a good challenge for us to have. and that is thanks to the leadership of the president of siemens, please join me in welcominging michael cajo. [applause] >> thank you, ed. thank you, everybody, for helping us celebrate what's a great day. for puting this first car into a world-class city and we hope it willable a world-class car to go with it. we build light rail cars for cities across the nation but there is something very, very

special putting a car in the city of san francisco. not only because it is such a great city, but also because we learn a lot in -- working with a team like john halle's team, including all the people he mentioned, even though we've been doing this for 30 years we learned an awful lot about how to do things right. we're contributing to the supervisor's sleeping time by making them quieter, which we hope will work and also the new car smell. the result of the car that you see here is the result of a lot of peoples' work including the teams, and i have to give a shout-out to our team that -- the project team here and his staff that worked tirelessly on this. as john said, it wasn't just a -- it wasn't just a single day. it is a seven day a week effort. but what most impressed me about this project was working with the m.t.a., with the sfmta. it truly is a partnership and

thanks to the leadership of john halle and ed riskif and thank you to all the people who worked on this. we have 1200 people who contributed to building these cars in sacramento and it is really a great day for us. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, michael. i don't know if you iting ka it, but president breed said these trains are meant to last us into the next century. i think about 85 years of useful life out of these. the stakes are high here. so, unlike this procurement, this event is running a little behind schedule but we do want to ask your indulgence for one more minute and i want to ask the mayor and the daughter of larry martin, iris lopez, to come forward for a special commemoration that we're doing in honor of larry martin. iris's father, who was a great

leader, community leader in the city. a great labor leader in the city. the mayor mentioned the importance of labor. they are the ones that do all the work. they are the ones who informed the design of this vehicle, who operate, maintain the existing vehicles, who provide all the background work in order to make muni run every day. muni was very lucky to have larry martin join as an employee back in 1966. rose quickly through the ranks of union leadership to become president of the local here and then international vice president for the transport workers' union, served in a number of capacity on different boards and commissions in the city and really play an outsized role in the leadership of the city. always representing labor, always representing working people of the city and so it is with that in mind that we dedicate this first rail car, and this was the mayor's idea, so i want to make sure he gets the credit for this, dedicate this first rail car to his

memory so we want to ask the mayor and larry's daughter to unveil a replica of the plaque that will honor larry martin as we put this first new car into service. >> ready? >> ready. >> all right! [applause] >> do you want to say anything? >> so, we have new rail cars! new seats! new diagnostic systems! >> all right! >> new smells! but we not ever forget the people that run this whole system. and i'm honored to be with iris because her father was someone who i first worked for at my very first job. he was the president of the human rights commission when i his first director. he then served over five mayors

before he ultimately retired and i had the privilege of appointing him to his last commission so he could have fun. that was the recreation and park commission and you should have seen larry at those 49er games at candlestick, having great fun and bringing his family with him. i want to also say i honor the people who work the system every day. because when i first met larry, i used to kind of complain as a new employee of the city. why i was faced with so many people who had pretty sharp opinions and would sometimes curse sometimes threaten. sometimes do all the things that sometimes the public in their most emotional states will do. and so he as the president of the transport worker union said, mr. lee, let me tell you what my day was like. and we would talk about people who were spat on and cursed on and they were just trying to smile and get people to work and to school. so i had nothing to complain about after those sessions.

we shared our stories about civic employees, about our standard of being the greatest and the best publicker is vans in the worst type of situations sometimes. that is my way of saying thank you to t.w.u., the teamsters who work on the mechanics every day and repair all the labor unions but mostly to take this opportunity to thank iris and her family for supporting and giving us a great leader in larry martin. iris? [applause] >> i just want to say thank you to everyone who was behind the dedication. my dad was a very strong force to be reckoned with, especially with his labor leadership and he loved the county and city of san francisco and he would just be very proud to be here today and i'm so pleased and thrilled. thank you, everyone. [applause]

>> ok. he was here today in spirit and now we'll cut the ribbon and then, as leslie said, then we're going to roll. folks here can line up. >> five, four, three, two, one! [cheering] [applause] >> let's roll. >> whew! [bell ringing]

>> all right, good afternoon, what a beautiful day it is in our city and every year around this time, we see more visitors who are coming to san francisco to shop.

we are a destination shopping place for people and while everyone is shopping we want to make sure that you have a really great and enjoyable experience so today we'll talk go all the additional resources and things the city is doing to make sure that experience is the greatest one can you have and do your shopping for your family and all the people you shop for and just last week, we actually had the lighting ceremony for the snow flakes and as we go in to the holiday seasons, there's several more events that will be taking place and most importantly, is to make sure while you are down here that you feel safe and that you really enjoy what you are down here for and so at public works department, we are going to be adding a lot more addition al resources here downtown especially from the hours from 11:00 to 9:00 you

will see more street cleaners around here to make sure that you know when you walk around everybody is clean and your trash cannes are clean and we'll add some additional steam cleaning and night crews will be here making sure that the city is presentable for the next morning and so we're going to do everything we can to make sure the downtown area is nice and presentable and you will hear from our police chief he is going to talk a little bit about safety and the man who heads this and the man who started this program 17 years ago when we started with nordstrom there was a small group started this during the holidays is no one other than our mayor ed lee, please welcome here. [applause] thank you, muhammad, mr. clean. you know the theme of course every year in association with our union square association our chamber of commerce were here today is that we want people to experience safe and clean holidays and so yes, we'll

invite and union square attracts millions of visitors every year and they're not going to ever get less because this is just a center piece for our city and so we expect hundreds of thousands of people to be here over the next four weeks and it adds over $6 million just in the next four weeks to our economy and it works because our police department is very alert and of course they're going to give a lot of hints out but people just have to be smart when they're bringing their families and their friends in from town down here just be alert and listen to every piece of advice that the chief, his commanders, his captains and staff because they're walking this beat along with all of our wonderful, beautiful, red embassadors that are behind us. [applause] and they're a delight to have and they've been growing over the years to accommodate all the families and people that are down here with information

guides about where to stop and where to get the best bargains right and also, just being here at this winter wonder land i know karen is excited because this wonder land grew out of the need to have a place that was outside of the construction immediate zone or to change that zone for the holidays so john is glad to do this more tor yum and we'll talk about extended construction later on and during the central subway construction, i think we used our innovation to really work together to invite people down here and hose up that construction for a period of time which starts now and won't end until after the new year but this is calm and quiet and you will hear less about construction and more about the voices of our family and kids and people just excited to run through here with all the

activities on winter wonder land we're here to make sure it's not only safe but clean, welcoming environment, helpful environment and there were be hundreds of thousands of people down here thankful a wonderful fund and we're encouraging everybody to take advantage of this winter wonder land and all the excitement that happens and also shop locally and make sure you spend time and all your merchant corridors is this is a center piece of it and it's also clean and fun and making sure everybody is safe so congratulations everyone, and for all those that are going to be visible, thank you because the visibility of the officers on the beat will calm everybody down and just be alert no matter what part of the city you are in

and drive safely and don't drink and drive, thank you. >> thank you, mayor lee, we can't do all the great work we do without this partner is our fine san francisco police department they work with us and they make sure that we are all of us in the city are protected but most especially the work that the public works department does and i have to say for the many years i've worked for city government, our chief who joined us the way he is running the department and changing things and everything is working better so i appreciate that and i appreciate that partnership you know, welcome to scott. [applause] >> good morning, thank you. so i'm going to repeat a couple things that have been said and first of all, this is my favorite of time of year because the mol day season is it about

tradition and family and community and none of this can happen without us as a community i'm talking about city partners, the department of public works and the public-private partnership we have with the bids and the embassadors it has to work together so i want to talk about a couple things about our traditions and one of our traditions that we want in this city and we must have is that when people come here from where they come from and they come here from all over the world, we want them to have a safe experience and a safe and clean experience and i was out here on saturday night with my family i had a great time and i got here too late for the beer garden but i was off duty. i was off duty and i missed the beer garden but he had a great time with my daughter and she brought a friend from out of town and it was a great time but more importantly, what made me so happy is that i saw the city working like it should be working. we had officers everywhere they

were engage and we had people cleaning the streets and it worked like it was supposed to work so that's what we want to promote. we want to promote a tradition of safety, cleanliness so people enjoy their time when they come to san francisco and they enjoy the experience so they bring their families and their friends and couple of things of safety tips and some of this is basic and you will hear this repeated, we don't want anybody's holiday season to be torn apart by being victimized of crime, so a couple of things, first of all, when you are doing what you do shopping or just enjoying the city, take a break from the cellphone if you are going to use it use it responsibly and pay attention to your surroundings i know this is a life line but pay attention to your surroundings i can't emphasize that enough. also, when you are shopping, when you carry around your package and when you are using

the a.t.m., again, pay attention to your surroundings, if you are using your a.t.m. and putting your pin number in make sure you shield it so people can't steal your pin number and make sure if you are going to your car, that you don't leave your valuables open where people can see them and get to them and break in your car and steal what you worked so hard to buy and that is a basic thing but you would be surprised just how many people forget to do that if you return to your car, get some thought to move your car to another location and sometimes people that are out to do harm they will watch you put your packages in the car and you resume your shopping and come back and your things are gone so make sure you do that and the mayor mentioned that we want people to have a safe experience when you walk across the street and a simple thing, obey the law , obey the traffic signals,

don't cross against the red light, don't cross against the red hen this is a simple thing but you would be surprised how many people don't take that simple advice one of our goals here in the city is to reduce pedestrian and fatalities and that is a simple thing that will help in that regard and also if you are driving the mayor mentioned it, this is a season of festivities and there's a lot of spirits and a lot of good spirits around but you don't want to do that and get behind the wheel of your car because that's not going to help anybody and it's probably going to hurt more than it helps so if you are going to drive, drink don't drive and be responsibility with your use of alcohol in terms of your shopping habits, it's always good to have someone with but, also with your packages if you happened to have packages

mailed to you from where you are maleing them from make sure that you understand there are people that will steal your packages so i was at may see's so coming is delivered this week but i want to make sure i take precautions to let me neighbors know that things are coming or whatever so people will look at for each other. look out for your friends, neighbors and watch out far each other and again this is a community season so it's all about caring about and looking out for others and being responsible in whatever you decide to do this holiday season so thank you. [applause] >> thank you as the chief said, awareness is everything so you should always be aware where you are at and what you are doing. if you need to make a phone call if it's an emergency, call 9-1-1

and if it's a quality of life call 311 and we'll respond. nothing happens without the partnership of the community and the next person i will introduce i've had the pleasure of working with throughout my time at public works but her work in the private sector forming many of the community benefits district and they create the embassador program that we see here that is here to help people but they also make sure that the areas are clean, they make sure they're free from graffiti and 9 downtown is pren able and welcome from the business improvement district. [applause] >> thank you so much and welcome everyone inform union square and our second annual winter walk we're so delighted to have you here and i'm executive director of the union square business improvement district and we strive to create a positive experience for all the visitors

who come down here and clean and safe is our montra during the holidays. i would like to thank the mayor ed lee for your leadership on clean and safe issues all year around and muhammad may have mentioned i had the pleasure of working for mr. lee at the maintenance yard so we were cleaning up the streets then and we're still cleaning up, right mayor? and i had the opportunity to work with muhammad at the yard and still today and muhammad, thank you for your partnership year around and this area has never looked better and we thank you so much for sending the fix- it team down here we've been working with sandra and paint the polls and remove unwanted furniture from sidewalks and paint crosswalks and it should look really great for the holidays down here so thank you and of course, we have beautiful hanging baskets now thanks to muhammad and the gateway here to union square which is never looked better with the holiday

lights so thank you and last but not least, i can't forget our partnership with the san francisco police chief chief scott has been an incredible partner this year giving us additional beat officers we're up to eight officers that walk the beat every day work very closely with all of our embassadors here in red to create a strong public-private partnership together so we believe we may have some funding coming through my staff has worked hard on filling out paper work to also allow for police officers, if i say that and everyone collectively cross your fingers on that one so, good news to come and it is my pleasure to lead the staff here of our public safety hospitality and cleaning embassador standing right behind me in red so look out for them during the holidays and they're here to answer questions and point the direction to tourists to shops and restaurants and let them know where they're going and they help with quality of life

issues and they wipe off from gee tee and they sweep and paint and hmm the city comes through and additional resources on the cleaning side on the safety side it's just amplifying our effect even that much month sore we can make union square shine so come on down for the holidays here in union square, shop, enjoy the restaurants and the winter walk will be opened every day from now until new years from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. we have two beer gardens this year we've got food trucks as you can see behind me and reindeer scooters bring the family down and, shops so come down and enjoy a wonderful, safe, holiday season. thank you. [applause] >> thank you are, karen. and outside of the shopping season, there's a lot of projects on the drawing board and if you have gone down to holiday plaza you might see

plantings down the rail and there's decorations that we will put up and they're getting ready to do work on the tunnel so it's a project the public works department is in and the better market street the improvement for market street we hope will break ground on but there's a lot of opportunities and lots of designs and lots of work that the whole city family is doing and in closing i want to thank mayor lee for all his leadership that he brought to san francisco you know, i have worked for mayor lee for 17 years but what mayor lee has brought to our city is really all the city departments talking to each other, working with each other and doing team work together we make a lot of progress so mayor lee i want to continue to thank you for your leadership and bringing us all together and really you know no lines all of us in one place and trying to make the city a better place for everyone. so that will conclude our press conference and enjoy your shopping and this is the season and come down here and there's the winter gardens, there's union square, there's all these

beautiful shops here and spend some money and enjoy the holiday season. thank you very much.

>> tenderloin is unique neighborhood where geographically place in downtown san francisco and on every street corner have liquor store in the corner it stores pretty much every single block has a liquor store but there are impoverishes grocery stores i'm the co-coordinated of the healthy corner store collaboration close to 35 hundred residents 4 thousand are children the medium is about $23,000 a year so a low income neighborhood

many new immigrants and many people on fixed incomes residents have it travel outside of their neighborhood to assess fruits and vegetables it can be come senator for seniors and hard to travel get on a bus to get an apple or a pear or like tomatoes to fit into their meals my my name is ryan the co-coordinate for the tenderloin healthy store he coalition we work in the neighborhood trying to support small businesses and improving access to healthy produce in the tenderloin that is one of the most neighborhoods that didn't have access to a full service grocery store and

we california together out of the meeting held in 2012 through the major development center the survey with the corners stores many stores do have access and some are bad quality and an overwhelming support from community members wanting to utilities the service spas we decided to work with the small businesses as their role within the community and bringing more fresh produce produce cerebrothe neighborhood their compassionate about creating a healthy environment when we get into the work they rise up to leadership. >> the different stores and assessment and trying to get them to understand the value of having healthy foods at a reasonable price you can offer

people fruits and vegetables and healthy produce they can't afford it not going to be able to allow it so that's why i want to get involved and we just make sure that there are alternatives to people can come into a store and not just see cookies and candies and potting chips and that kind of thing hi, i'm cindy the director of the a preif you believe program it is so important about healthy retail in the low income community is how it brings that health and hope to the communities i worked in the tenderloin for 20 years the difference you walk out the door and there is a bright new list of fresh fruits and vegetables some place you know is safe and welcoming it makes.

>> huge difference to the whole environment of the community what so important about retail environments in those neighborhoods it that sense of dignity and community safe way. >> this is why it is important for the neighborhood we have families that needs healthy have a lot of families that live up here most of them fruits and vegetables so that's good as far been doing good. >> now that i had this this is really great for me, i, go and get fresh fruits and vegetables it is healthy being a diabetic you're not

supposed to get carbons but getting extra food a all carbons not eating a lot of vegetables was bringing up my whether or not pressure once i got on the program everybody o everything i lost weight and my blood pressure came down helped in so many different ways the most important piece to me when we start seeing the business owners engagement and their participation in the program but how proud to speak that is the most moving piece of this program yes economic and social benefits and so forth but the personal pride business owners talk about in the program

is interesting and regarding starting to understand how they're part of the larger fabric of the community and this is just not the corner store they have influence over their community. >> it is an owner of this in the department of interior i see the great impact usually that is like people having especially with a small family think liquor store sells alcohol traditional alcohol but when they see this their vision is changed it is a small grocery store for them so they more options not just beer and wine but healthy options good for the business and good for the community i wish to have

>> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who

provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person

shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists,

other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's

a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner.

>> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so

that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening th adjourned. >> shop & dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their shop & dine in the 49 with within the 49 square miles of san francisco
