use in cooking classes so that our participants learn as much as anybody else where food comes from. we have two kitchens here at the pomeroy center. one is more of a commercial kitchen and one is more setup like a home kitchen would be, and in the home kitchen, we do a lot of cooking classes, how to make lasagna, how to comsome eggs, so this grant that we received has tremendous value, not only for our center, for our participants, but the entire community. >> the thing about climate, climate overlaps with everything, and so when we start looking at how we're going to solve climate programs, we solve a lot of other problems, too. this is a radical project, and to be a part of it has been a real honor and a privilege to work with those administrators with the sf carbon fund at the department of environment. >> san francisco carbon grant

been circulated amongst you. it shows the slow rate of progress and a strange decline in percent completion on the vanness project between november 17 and november 2018. although we were told that the method of calculating percent completion was recently changed to show that it has gone down by a couple of percentage points, in this previous period, the percentage completion went up and then back down with ano explanation of a calculation change. therefore, c.a.c. requests that future attention be paid -- attention be paid to future progress reports. in addition, m.t.a. was asked if lessons from vanness, was going to be applied to the geary b.r.t. and better market streets projects going forward. we were told that there was staff overlap in the agencies going into these projects, but without better coordination,

that may not be the advantage it appears to be. because of the high degree of public interest in this project, the vanness b.r.t. updates will now be a standing discussion item on the c.a.c. agenda for the foreseeability future. the c.a.c. also heard the presentation from sfmta staff given to the board of supervisors government audit and oversight committee on december 5 about muni operator issues. the message from that presentation was, again, about the need for internal coordination so that the perfect storm that occurred last summer with regard to muni operator shortages in the midst of the twin peaks tunnel shutdown could and can be avoided. turning to your agenda today, regarding item seven, the c.a.c. adopted a motion of support in $3.5 million for prop k requests. and the pilot project underway

between market and 15 streets on the valencia corridor. c.a.c. members were particularly interested in the performance of the protected concrete school loading islands and the safety of students crossing the bikeway from the island to the sidewalk. in addition, there was discussion about solutions for double parking and bike way blocking on the valencia corridor. improved management and extended parking times, staying loading zones were potential exclusions being studied in the pilot: c.a.c. was enthusiastic about hearing the project's findings when it is completed, and that concludes my report. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you, mr. larson and thank you, especially for the c.a.c.s attention to vanness avenue. is there any public comment on the c.a.c. report? seeing none, public comment is closed.

in 2009, she joined president obama's federal transit administration and eventually served as the acting executive authority of the m.t.a. before in 2016 going to los angeles. we look forward to working with her and her team when she starts in march. and as we welcome therese, we would also like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the out going many-year m.t.c. that's a lot of letters. steve heminger, who will retire at the end of february and everything he bestowed on san francisco county, and they were a great partner from funding major capital projects, like the central subway, our transbay terminal, which someday will reopen and generations of muni, b.a.r.t., and caltrain vehicles, so i

vehicle fleet, but in the meanwhile, once it is developed, it will provide temporary storage for trolley coach buses so that while other bus facilities are being renovated and upgraded that buses will be temporarily stored at this site then moved to the improved facilities and then this facility will function primarily again as a light rail facility. so the plan is to get this project moving quickly so that construction can start in winter of 2022. you'll see a request in about a year designs from the m.t.a. for this request. the next request is from the m.t.a., the bike-to-workday 2019 event. we have a long-standing of funding this day of activity as well as the events leading up to it.

there are a lot of outreach to normalizing bike transportation. we will be requesting on receiving before, during, and after counts to enhance the effectiveness on the ridership on the day of, and how that compares to the prior years, as well. with that, i can take any questions, and project leaders are here, as well. >> chair peskin: thank you. colleagues, are there any questions of staff? seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? okay. public comment is closed.

[gavel]. >> chair peskin: next item, please. >> clerk: [agenda item read]. >> chair peskin: mr. young. >> good morning. eric young, senior communications officer at the transportation authority, here to present this item. an important part of our work involves regular communication with the general public, policy makers, the media, partner agencies and others with the assistance of on call communications consultants. with our on-call contracts expiring soon, we conducted a competitive procurement process, seeking new contracts with consultant teams that have a broad range of communications and outreach skills. we are recommending two firms for contracts as we have

learned from past experience, this gives us a broader and deeper bench of expertise, gives us competitiveness, and ensures we have rear he resource -- resources when we need them. the two firms that we selected scored the highest among our r.f.q. these two firms provide a strong set of skills, specialist and relevant experience. civic edge has a proven track record of performance in all on-all task areas and a deep bench of subconsultants. convey, together with its subconsultants demonstrates strong capabilities to support our agency's work in emerging mobility, pricing, and other areas. both firms have experience on transportation projects, having worked for compliants such as the contra costa transportation

authority, sfmta, marin transit, caltrain, and a.c. transit. we established a disadvantaged business enterprise goal of 17% for this contract. both teams have made commitments to exceed that goal. the civic edge team includes 21.5% d.b.e. participation from four san francisco owned businesses. the convey team includes 40% d.b.e. participation through convey being a woman-owned firm. budget for these contracts will be funded by a combination of federal and/or state grants, local agency contributions and prop k sales tax funds. the recommendation is to award a three-year base contract to extend for an additional year. these contracts are on an as-order basis.

with me are representatives of civic and convey. and i'm happy to take questions. >> chair peskin: just one question, and i think i know the answer to this. none of these folks are registered lobbyists, correct? >> to my understanding, they are not registered lobbyists, any of the primes or subs. >> chair peskin: beautiful. any questions from commissioners? any public comment on item number eight? sunshine, you want to say something? pendergast, just come on up. >> i just wanted to add for public comment, once again, the san francisco public transportation agency has outdone itself to the disadvantaged business community, the local business community, and it is the only agency that consistently reached out to the lgbtq businesses. thank you for setting the

example to your sister agencies and to the rest of the country. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you. is there any further public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: is there a motion to approval a three-year professional services contract, with an option for two one-year periods? made by commissioner mandelman, seconded by spiefr stefani. we can take that same house, same call. the item is adopted. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: next item, please. >> clerk: [agenda item read]. >> good morning, chair peskin and congratulations to you and vice chair mandelman. just a highlight of the busy and productive year that we had last year. >> chair peskin: miss chang, do we have a policy on per diems, somebody comes in for one minute and leaves?

that was a joke. keep going. >> yeah. we appreciate everyone's attendance and participation and look forward to working with everyone this year, especially our new board members. first of all, the annual report is something that we do every year, and it's a pleasure to present our highlights of the prior year and reflect a bit on what we're planning to accomplish in the coming year. we just had our staff retreat yesterday at beautiful university of san francisco campus, and cover -- we're just super -- very excited for the work ahead. it's our 30th anniversary here, so that's very excited. we were established by voters in 1989 to administer the half-penny sales tax known as prop b. our mission, just to remind everyone, is to plan, fund, and deliver transportation improvements in san francisco to make travel safer, healthier, and easier for all. we work on local and regional projects to improve travel

choices for residents, commuters, visitors and the like tlou the city and the region. and i just want to emphasize some of these roles. our congestion management agency, our funding roles, but essentially, we do the plan, fund, and deliver with all of our partners in concert at the local agencies, but also at the regional agencies. i often get a question about what's different about the san francisco public transportation agency from agencies that work in the city. our first slide to sort of speaks to one of the major differences in that we look at the entire system of planning across all the different modes, local and regional with caltrans. this year, there's a connectsf long range planning program that's really going to get more involved in the streets and highways, master modal planning. we also have master regional planning happening with the horizon scenario planning

effort. it's looking at all different potential futures and trying to make sure or city -- excuse me, our region is well prepared and resilient going forward. as you can see, some of the other activities have to do with advocacy for revenues. last year was a big year for s.b.-1, as well as air quality district management plans, and caka. another regional role for us is to look with our sister agency at santa clara and san mateo. eric cordoba's looking at this, for buses and carpoolers and people who really want that direct connection between san francisco and the south bay. so thank you for that study and planning going forward. also on the d-9 planning freeway, worked through

commissioner ronen's leadership to try to make things building on the allemeny neighborhood. moving to another sort of policy area where we've been able to provide some advise and guidance and direction to staff and partners and city based on your leadership, especially chair peskin around t.n.c. research, we looked at a whole spectrum of goals that would apply to mobility and shuttles and scooters and all the like, autonomous vehicles. we worked last season with assembly member ting and industry partners. in addition to the t.n.c. research on congestion, we looked at other ways that we can manage congestion for the broader sort of traveling public, and that involves a

congestion pricing study update, and we're looking at partnering with new mobility partners in the outer mission excelsior area. working with supervisor safai's office. on planning, we've advanced many local planning studies that were identifies by each of your offices, these include completing the bayview study. -- identified by each of your offices. vision zero ramps was a very strong focus for district six, both in the phase one study that was adopted last year, looking at the eight intersections and the phase two study looking at an additional ten intersections where the street network touches with local freeway network.

on the regional coordination front, we support our sister agencies, our regional partners on things like the pen opinion alignment chosen for the downtown extension, the rail into transbay. we selected that last year. better market street is making progress. they're in the preenvironmental phase. bayview transportation plan, sfmta, was participating in a budget coming forward to implement top priorities for top priorities in the bayview. i think with some of the passage of the housing plans in brisbane, we're going to see that gear up again, trying to connect our buses efficiently across 101, looking at a geneva extension eventually to is 01, and -- to 101.

treasure island, we had a lot of work this last year on program development, how are we going to be able to fund our bus, ferry, and transit services equitiablely and effectively. we did a lot of outreach, and we will go back and continue to take the feedback from the board last fall and move with the community on additional options to look at each more ways that we can relieve the burden on existing residents and businesses and bring that back to you through the traeshl island mobility management agency. other outreach work -- procurement work is initiating our toll system, using federal funds through a grant from the obama administration smart cities grant, interestingly, the bike ped path development on the west bend, which would take the vista point terminus of the san francisco oakland bay bridge, bring you across the top of y.b.i. and over to

treasure island to a potential ferry in the near term and across the actual bay bridge west span and touching down ess essex i believe in the longer term. we updated our strategic plan led by our deputy for policy and programs, and this is really the five-year look over the 30 years of the sales tax program. we're in year 15, and it's a really important milestone. most of our big projects are underway or already constructed, and we're working on the very important smaller category that are spread across the city over multiple categories. here's a highlight or scan of the neighborhood transportation planning and capital projects

in each of the districts that were completed. as far as funding applications were completed over the next years, and the projects will be completed over the next several years in several districts. district five, eight, seven, as well. we have several more in the pipeline. it's always a pleasure to work on these because they always reflect your priorities, and across the board, whether it's m.t.a., public works, our agency appreciates collaborating with you on these and working on important neighborhood improvements. so the five projects that were completed in 2018 are in d-4, 6, 7, and 10. we did a study on quintara, as well as south park traffic calming. in balboa area, we did a traffic calming study.

starting july 1, we are through our programming action last year, created additional five year budgets in the order of 700,000 for praj development, planning and construction. at the federal level, m.t.c. takes those funds and apportions them to the counties and through this board's actions in cycle one, we prioritize projects such as masonic avenue, broadway, chinatown, and the latter two were completed with fant sick celebrations with the community last year. masonic, we were there just yesterday taking a tour with our whole staff. our cycle two money was propagated to the embarcadero elevator, john yee hall chin elementary and some other projects.
