it was a good reminder of how important the service that we provide s i wanted to take the opportunity to tell everybody we're doing a good the bus certainly could probably shorten its time with some muni forward help, but it was hea tening to see.othe new or unfinished business? >> i did want to -- i would love it get an update with the cybersecurity threats happening more and more and last year we had that issue where sne asked for bit coin for us, i would lo t g procedun what we're doing to protect data and things like that. >> i don't have a cheat sheet on the director's report, but if this is not on there, i will say in my capacity as a rider, i havenhat next train signs are not as accurate as they usually are, at least for the past 10 days.

i don't know if that's bad luck on my part or there's something systemic going on. i don't need a full report on it. it's just isolated and bad luck for me, so be it. but if it's not, we do have that new system and it would be great if they workederfectly. >> if that's it, we'll move on. >> i'm sorry. do i have any public comment on new or unfinished business by board members? looks like i do. >> just wanted to say to follow up, yes, the two of you are th we have a bettering forward interaction at these board meetings. my comments from the rules committee stand. i look forward to working with both of you going forward as we need to for your upcoming term for the next four years. thanks. >> thank you. now we will move on,di

you'll recall it was two yrs ago in 2016 that kate was killed at the intersection of howard and 7th when a driver ran a red light. since then, we've taken a number of actions to improve safety at that intersection and along the entire corridor. on 7th street,ve removed a lane of traffic to create a traffic protected bike lanend install traffic signals that are 50% larger and more visible. the streetscape project on folsom is the next project. it's part of a larger project. we have installed improvements to enhance safety along the corridor which are having an impact. forle, we've completed changes on folsom including a protected way and a light at 8th and folsom. daylighting along the corridor and the aio of transit boarding islands. howard street has unique

challenges because of the existence of the muni overhead lines, although there's not any regular muni service on howard. it's part of how the trolleybuses get back to the yard. so it is regularly used for non revenue muni travel. there's also a lot of diffuses it's where masconi center is. you can picture it between 3rd and 4th. it's not only right in front of eth convention center, but it's right in the heart of the construction for the convention center expansion. so because of those reasons, we have not beeble to put in near term improvements on howard as we did on folsom. nevertheless, we are actively working with the centernd the fire department and other stakeholders to fantastic out how we can address -- figure how how we can address those while improving bike safety on howard. a couple weeks ago or maybe it ahut 15 cyclists participat

and members of the san francisco bicycle coalition to look athe facilitin fols and get edbackn how they becan incorporated into the permanent project and that will inform our work on howd as well. when it does move forward and it's currentlyeing cleared environmentally as part of the central soma plan, the streetscape project will be one of the largest streetscape projects in the city. we're hoping to be able to bring you legislation later this year assuming the central soma plan construction scheduleurrenve that willave hork t d by023. that's an update on howard. one addl bitiona of good news with regard to vision 0 -- and you might have already read or heard about this -- last wednesday, we joined with

members of our senior disability unitieto announce a new s stand pedtrian counsel down signals. eime we give pedestrians to cross the street. so from this pointward, wherever we're touching a traffic signal, we will implement a new standard of 3 feet per second during the pedestrian count down. the current standard is 3.5 feet per second. this is the speed for which we set at the crossing speed. it used to be back about ten years ago, 4.5 feet per second. we've been accommodating slower walking speeds or maybe we've been bringing our trance its -- traffic signal timing in line with realistic crossing speeds for pedestrians. thisl play to the 1200

signalized intersections that we have around the city where we can't throw a switch and make this happen. we'll it as we do signaling timing upgrades or other signal upgrades across the city. so it's a couple ofdson sectns. tods at larger intersections, but it was a good partnership with a number of advocates, and i think it will be a good change for cit did we have our video ready again? or do we give up on the video? to round out t visio 0 report. ♪ [ music ] motorcyclists have special situations to deal with. we get fog that's almost rain, oil build-up on streets with fog or rain make the road really slick especially roadway paint. motorcycles lose traction in the rain, much more easily than

, factually speaking, it came to our attention that the ra subs have laid down 17,000ineal feet of steel rails which call for high stngth steel rails. the area where they've bee installed so far runs from just p tth of the 4th a toue union squ market street station. upon learning of this, we did send them a letter directing them to replace that rail with rail that meets the standards that are specified in our cont. the stad steel does not pose a safety issue. it just won last as long as the higher strengtail, wch is why we tend to speck the higher graail. so we akihe e bestgtor to figure out what rwarfo as well as any schedule

learkgome of that you're right. i think it'seen a little confusing the way it's been discussed out in tssrend in public. so thank you for that. director'sdoes anyone have report? no? seeing none, thank you very much. do we have any public comment on the report. >> you do. >> 2 minutes, please. >> on the director' report, first today i'm wearing a dpw t-shirt. formally operated by director reiskin. i did note the announcement last week, i'm not clear on what the pactill b long-term on muni operating speed and c a for that matter, the impact o other modes of transportation. seems to me like this could be a ceqa issue, and so i don't know

exactly how this was decided, if this is just a policy call, if this is actually somethingthat'a jurisdiction or ifecto the can simply change the crossing speed withte impacts that has and whether this constitutes a project for ceqa. i would love to get an answer from staff on that. and then the lasttem, since last time director unveiled the new logo, wch i expressed leur about durinhe first two weeks under the new logo, by my count, there was a majorechnology glitch in the first week, which resulted in systems being down for a significant part of that thursday involving employees, affecting passengers and a lot of people. there was the rail issue that was in the pressch whi just discussed. and there was a minor earthquake that resulted in having check

tracks for safety purposes. in my view, not a good first two weeks under the new logo. thanks. >> thank you. mr. mcguire, can someone reach out the pedestrian count downing? thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> herbar winer, one thing about the vision 0 videos, i think they're very good, but i challenge vision 0 to do one thing and i challenge this board to do one thing. have a videouticyclists riding on the sidewalk and the red light. this should be also a video i challenge you tut that one out, especially since n are appeari of the bicyclealit me as i testify. the second thing, about the central subway,as assorted

every time i see someone doing it i glare at them as if to say don't you know you're doing something wrong. often times i don't get a response back that suggests they do know they are doing something wrong. if we have the resources to make

these -- i'm not talking about that at glare means. if we have the resources to make these helpful things as chair brickman points out, put things on the buses and other things that educate our fellow citizens, i think this is a problem that does exist and it's not just a pet complai that we hear from one or two but people are riding their booikes on the sidewalks, particularly downtown and ridi their scooters on the sidewalks for sure. if we can educate people that's not the appropriate way to e oel us trying tolp and itwo discourage that behavior try to communicate that message better as wel that's something i would favor. i suspect that the pedestrian advocates and bike advocates agree and certainly we would take any feed back they have. >> thank you. i think that's a good idea.

just to c clarify, i believe tht children under the age of 16 can ride on the sidewalk. >> non-motorizescooters on the sidewalk. what we are seeing no you -- now is a lot of motorized. >> that's a great idea and can help get the word out. thank you ve much. >> madame chair, item 8. we are joined by frank who is the vice chairman of the cac. >> good the see you. thank you so much for your work on the cac. welcome. >> good afternoon, madame chair, board of directors. so i'm representing from our last meetin we had two recommendations that i would like to present to the board right now. first one is on the eastermhat passed last time into recess. csc supports the proposed plan for these scooters. it's

recommended that sfmt provide the guidelines on how and where the scooters are placed and w encoe sfpd to enforce the state law against sidewalk riding. it's recommending that sfmta with the scooter companies -- work with the scooter companies to share data travel information, user travel information so the analysis can be done to update a comprehensive plan, transit plan, which can ultimately reduce congestion. so in other words you want to have -- get this incorporated sgoo a plan. -- into a plan. the second motion we passed has to do with today's topic, which is business of streetcars. that one reads as, recommends that complete cars in and then in parens slated to be scrapped, not be scrapped or rather retained for the plan or a

planned expansion of or rail line service in the future, may not be just the e line but any new line that may come ther cars are bei moved t anotherrag area these cars can also be moved at the same cost of the cars. the cost of those storage and stripping cars is offset by moving the car -- by the moving costs of the cars thus keeping the cars in tact is far more beneficial. this is also because i have the potential for selling or trading with other transit properties. the argument places the cars that are kept and stored outside for the past 15 years to an outside observer it makes no sense to scrap a complete car instead of a completely stripped car. therefore it is that if necessary already complete stpped cars be scrapped in exchange for the three of the

complete cars t you are planning to scrap. >> thank you. i willhate the disposal of the streetcars iss in is -- severed so we'll be able to do that. >> thank you. >> public comment? >> no one has turned in a speaker card on that, madame chair. >> any public comment? seeing none public comment closed and we will move on. >> nine, general public comment. this is an opportunity for the members of the public to address the board on items not on today's agenda. >> thank you, director. i thank you.

some people had to come back, some peoeverpl not the paperwork. that's another issue but thank you so much for doing it. going forward and to this one, the report, you paid $225,000 and i a surge report. they are totlly ble,1c that it should be given to one company. all the people came to the first meeting, second meeting, now we are done in the third meeting. nobody supported it. that shows how bad the report is, not single person in favor of this report. going to item 2, about reducing the number of medalian, nobody supported it. both items failed miserably in these meetings so far. so it's aaste of our money.

you don't have one person saying there's anything to do in it going further about this one, t eder credit union, it's zero fr the government. they are collected at the height of the market, too much money they never said we will charge you instead of six o p two person. they made the money. they should not be paid anything. it was a business deal. fair, fair. they should not be paid anny from the mta. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> on the way to the meeting i saw shooters on the sidewalk over and over and over again. u shod have never given them a like that. this is to be

honored with safety standards. they violated it immediately. the companies oh -- of the scooters have to be cant account. either you comply with the law or we run you out of town. it's as simple as that. i really don't like the idea of people's safety on the sidewalk being endangered. i'll say onehing for the motorcyclists, they never ride on the sidewalk, they never go through the red light. so anyway, please enforce your standards and start arresting them and citing them. you only have to do this randomly and will go out. the public safety is endangered. you are mandated with protecting that. i say that in bold italic letters. please do so. >> thank you. next speaker, please.

>> david pillpail continuing with the item for rail back the twin peaks project which i've spoke b about several times, 50i7 wondering if the rail meets the specifications in the contract? was that high strength rail, regular strength rail, is t ail along the boulevard for the last two, two and a half years rusting? th going t nd to be ground in the tunnel after being laid. is thaoi reduc life pa less to what was projected by staff? the issue raise these questions for you in which we are planning a three-day shut down for memorial day weekend and a

60-day shut down that wil inconvenience passengers, especially those of us on the west side directors who have to sit on the west side of the room. that's very nice. so i have those concerns. in addition, themorial weekend closure has not been largely broadcast to passengers. that's supposed to be a week and a hf from now. that's a three-day shut down which will inconvenience lots of people. the larger 60 day closure that's now planned in july and august has was discussed earlier as it relates to special, it will impact other special events, for example, the sunday concerts at stern grove and lots of other things that happen over the summer for which people normally take the subway and for which if bus substitution is aable will delay their trips significantly and t may not know that and may not plan accordingly and will be further unhappy with the new agency with

the new logo. thanks. >> chairman brinkman: thank you. next speaker, please. >> the last two people to turn if a speaker card on this topic. >> chairman brinkman: mr mr. gilberte. >> thank you. apologize for getting here late and missing the director's report. scooter on the ground reminds me of people laid out on the ground. it's just bad. he departmen efcation rontof and that's a narrow -- with the trees and planting there, that's naow walkway now. you throw a scooter in and it's bad. on saturday i was boarding the e-line at the 30 building and at the bottom of the ramp two scooter people were just leaving their scooters at the bottom of the ramp for the wheel tochr go up. i said i hope you're not leaving them here. yes, they did.

it's a tough play. sidewalk walk, we don't require helmets to walk on the sidewalk, especially if you're in a wheelchair or a low but people who we are aowing on the idewalk require a he. so there's a mismash of danger here. civic center, i want to thank you for trying something with people in the elevators. i came out of civic center last wednesday. the person inside greeted me and outside the doors on the walkway not knowing very much about your -- urine, i'm wondering if urine can create a bomb. they don't pee inside the elevator anre rs close and they pee right outside the elevator on the platform

from the civic center. i had never smelled it so bad. i understand we have steam clean machines. we don't have the cause to u em.th so we need to hire more. thank you. >> chairman brinkman: thank you. next speaker. >> mark gruberg is the last speaker to turn in a speaker card on this topic. >> thank you directors, mark gruberg. i also want to say a few words about the shallow report. i really feel it was a missed opportunity. prime reason as i understood it forhis port s the broken medallion situation. there's nothing in this report that is going to help our change that. certainly nothing directly. the only, you know, indirect

help would be some vague proposals that theoretically, you know, could i the management o and t somehow improve ridership. it's really nothing. there's no help for the building of ridership. reducing the number of medallions is only going to hurt at those type that is are fairly rare. there are times that you need these cabs out on the street. the report is going to benefit maybe just two very large companies and small companies are going to have to go banging at their doorstep because those companies are going to be put in

charge of airport dispatch. so, you know, that's not right and not fair. so i don't think that there is much of anything if anything in this report to recommend it. just to say a last word about the scooters e -- the behavior is or rent duhs. >> chairman brinkman: anything else? >> moving onto your consent calendar. they are considered to be routine unless a member of the public or board wish to have an it item severed. you've had request for 10.2pii, 10.4 and 10.5 be

severd. do i have a motion to approve content minus 10.2pii, 10.4 and 10.5. >> so moved. >> ll call] consent calendar approved except for those item that is start with 10.2p. it was severed by a request of the member of the public on kirkham street. >> david pill pail. i oppose this intersection. it's not need. it's an intersection that gets more traffic on kirkham and less on 16th avenue. i heard it was not a strong concern. if it waspproved i would ask that staff monitor its implementation and consider

revoking it in the future if it turns out it was not strongly needed. once again, i note for all of 10.2 that there's no sec in the write up about stakeholder engagement that's present in all the other staff reports but none for 10.2. i would be interested in knowing for each of these proposed change ifs there was public comment or no comment so it's just recogni as a routine staff item. that's what we normally see but it isn't there for 10.2 thank you. >> chairman brinkman: thank you mr. pillpail. mr. mcguire cou speak on 10.2p o kirkham street. >> good afternoon, directors. tom mcguire. director of the sustainable

couple hundred dollars all at once. ignificantly lower tow fees and boot fees unde 200% of pty line and allow people to pay off their citations that led to the tow or boot over time through a payment plan or by doing community ert's i my understanding the these reforms wouldhave been in place pamela would have needed to come up with half of what she did and she would have been able to pay off her citation over time making ea for her to do o. with these er few peopl like pamela will make the decision, d r ptr my car back. our joint work on these challenges is not done. the ated these reform to the stakeholder group as a step to this process. we are still in a discussion of how to help people struggling with homelessness lin i

modification. i ise an seissue. proposes to revise fees that were just adopted in budget but this is a separate action, the may 1st deadlior the budget has passed. this is sepe theudget approval. it's a stand alone item and this was actuallypose as i unders a was adopted. so the seqa review that was associated with this item was back from february in connectio with the over all budg did not detail out the fees, include the specific set of proposals. i don't think that the prior approoverss item and i wouldkely ctest this via an appeal to the board of of supervisors. the february seqareiew was not a blanketova

ncan at just say any to fees and fares is covered under 15273. the planning dtment h to conquer in that and actually needs to review the proposed fee changes.so y can, you know, approve this if you want. council can go discuss it with staff. i've already made my points. i would likely conteshis unless this is an urgency item. i would suggest resolving this or putting it off. happy to talk toeopl p about it. yom : ha noels your opinion on this? are we tay go ahead on this e? >> i do sara jones in the audience so if you want to take the next item i could confer with her briefly and just make sure that everything is set before you move forward. b> chair thals good. we will move onto. >> 10.5, authorizing the d

administrative code. the calendar item doesn't say declaring them surplus. i'm not suron iha hadescribedr i was also assured that any disposal of such cars would be consistent with a vinta c policy that would be preve pres to the andca i understand has not been. theenda item does reference something related toicle policy, i have not seen that document and so i'm making a request right here right now for that document that was referenced in the staff report. again, i note that this is an seqa issue and i would likely appeal this to the board of supervisors. i havtionent
