that i'm surrounded by the sounds, so i'm going top keep doing what i'm doing to keep my life in that direction.

>> this unique neighborhood, we noemie know miguel's over there shaking his head like, yeah. [laughter] we know there is something special about the city and something special about the neighborhoods and to have everything to do with the people who are part of these amazing neighborhoods. and i'm just really excited about some of the other things that we've done and more of what we will do to make sure that we are protecting affordable housing in the mission for generations to come. [applause] now we all know the sad history of rewoment in our city. the community that i grew up in the western addition and what happened to that community. a lot of propsses were made. a lot of housing was built. but when the time came, for

example, in the public housing that i grew up in, 300 units torn down, 200 units built and the difficulty of so many of us being able to move back to the community. you remember this joyce armstrong, what happened in the western addition and how it really sadly destroyed a very vibrant african american community. and we look at this as a lesson learned and we have to think of the challenges that existed back then and what we have to do to change that for the future of san francisco. and we are going to protect our diversity and our communities. we have to start making the right kinds of investments. it's why, when i was on the board of supervisors with this community, roberto hernandez was there and we stood proud to fight for and josh arsay, we stood proud to fight for neighborhood preference so that when we actually build the

affordable housing in these communities, that the people who live in these communities have right of first refusal to access those units. [applause] and also when we have revenue this this city that we make the right kinds of investments that will make a tremendous impact for a community. i got to take a tour. in fact, it was a low-rider tour with roberto. yes, it was a nice day and the sun was shining and yes, we were bouncing up and down in the mission and people thought i was having a good time and i wasn't there working. i was working. i was working. i was on a fact-finding mission to really see what opportunities exist in this community so that we can build more affordable housing. and so we were standing out here on 26th street talking to a number of folks who grew up here, some who don't live here

anymore because they can't afford to. and others who were just trying to hold on and they talked about housing and their children and their future. i'm really excited because government sometimes takes a really long time to make things happen. and we were really lucky that we got this windfall money that you heard about. and the first thing i thought about were all these sites in the commission and whether or not we would be able to acquire these sites for 100% affordable housing. and today that's what this announcement is about. 1515 south van ness will be acquired to potentially build 150 new family units sglfp [applause] and i have to tell you -- it wasn't necessarily fast for this community because this community had been working so

hard to really identify locations, coordinate and work together and really address what we know has been significant dig placement. with the accusation of the site along with the four sites that we broke ground with, for affordable housing, with more to come, in the mission neighborhood, we would have preserved and built over 1,000 new units for this community. now we know this community has a goal of getting to 2500 and i definitely want to make sure that we get there. but i will say that this is a step in the right direction. and i just also would like to put in a plug for the housing bonds. $600 million without raising property taxes for affordable housing. woe have the money to buy the

site, but we need the money to build it. so i'm going to be counting on the voters in san francisco to support the upcoming housing bond so that we can get this housing built for this community right away. and more affordable housing throughout the city of san francisco. [applause] so i want to thank all of you and so many of the community members that have joined us today. it just really is not only a beautiful day in san francisco, but an exciting time for this community. i've been to four ground breakings in the mission since i've been mayorment we look at other sites and we have been acquiring property. we've been looking at ways on small sites and making tremendous investments. and this is really just the beginning of what i think is going to be an incredible future for this community. but it won't be that way unless we work hard for it because we have to also make sure that the investments happen, we have to make sure that the resources

are there to make this investment happen and we'll continue to do everything we can to make sure that the community is a part of this process every step of the way. before i thank all the folks that are responsible for this, besides, i just want to give a special shout-out to kate hartley from the mayor's department of housing for all the really hard work that she did to make this possible -- [applause] along with a number of city departments to help and jumpstart s.f. and the m.t.c. or m.t.a., which one is it? m.t.c. we have somebody from one of those transportation agencies. so, thank you so much for that and thank you to all the community members and everyone who's with us today. and to acknowledge so many incredible people from this community.

including herself who myrna milgaard has been an incredible resource and incredible advocate. [applause] and just working with young people and staying focused. not only is she the president of the planning commission of san francisco, she runs jamestown community center, an incredible space for young people in this community. myrna melgar. >> thank you, mayor. so i was appointed to the planning commission by then president of the board of supervisors, london breed. [laughter] and people ask me why -- why are you doing this? [laughter] so muchwork! it is a lot of work. but i'm doing it because i, in addition to running the jamestown community center, i'm a mother of three girls who were born and raised in san francisco. and i want them to have a life in san francisco.

i want my family close by and my community all around me. it's what makes my life worth living. like many of you. and i think there is no more important thing that we're doing right now than building affordable housing. and when then president of the board of supervisors breed asked me to do this, i was on it because i believed in her vision. so when i saw that she went to h.u.d. to advocate for neighborhood preference despite decades of people saying no, it can't be done, people in affordable housing saying it can't be done, she took her advocacy and got it done. and i was so proud of her. you know? because that was a game changer for us in san francisco. and, you know, i think that the advocacy, that community and this mayor's office is doing in

terms of building affordable housing, of just thinking outside the box with small sites, with different ways of getting to where we need to go is amazing and groundbreaking and i'm so proud to be part of this. so i think that for the first time i'm looking around at all of my colleagues in nonprofit and all of the community, instigators and collaborators and this is the moment that i feel like in the whole time i've been in san francisco where the submission united. [applause] the first time. we're all on the same page that we are building affordable housing. not only preserving our community, but getting it back. those 8,000 families that have been displaced from san francisco that are part of our schools, of our churches, of

our community organizations, we're getting them back. and we're all working really hard for it and this project is going to be a part of that story. we also have a supervisor who is on the same page with us. she has made affordable housing her priority. when she ran and also during her office and i am so glad that she is working with us hand in hand. and with that, i'm going to introduce supervisor hillary ronan. [applause] >> thank you so much. what an incredible, incredible day. i don't think there is anything that energizes all of us more than breaking ground on an affordable housing site or acquiring an affordable housing site. there is nothing that manges us feel like the work that we do in the city so important. when i was running for office, i made a goal and a pledge to

build 5,000 units of affordable housing in district nine in a decade and i'm counting each and every unit and right now we are at 1182 units! [applause] and that is because the mission is united. and not only is the mission united with itself, the mission is united with city hall, with our mayor whose priority is housing and affordable housing for this neighborhood, with the supervisor whose priority is housing and affordable housing for this neighborhood, with the director of the mayor's office of housing and community development whose priority is housing and affordable housing. we're truly, truly united and we have two extremely strong organizations. affordable housing developers right here in the mission district. mission housing and economic economic development agency. [applause]

anja emphasize how important these organizations are. the executive director of one of those organizations because there was a decade, a decade when we didn't build a unit of affordable housing in this neighborhood. and part of that reason was because we didn't have affordable housing developer organizations who were at a stage that they could build housing. now we don't even have one. we have two. we have two and we have a community that is not going to stop for a second fighting for more affordable housing. and i just -- before i hand it over to roberto hernandez, i wanted tos also thank the former supervisor of district nine, david campos. because part of the funding to acquire the site, $5 million, was the first time ever david campos got that money from the m.t.c. it's a regional transportation body that i now sit on that has

never financed affordable housing in its entire existence. but david made the point that you can't talk about transportation and jobs without talking about housing. you can't talk about housing without talking about transportation and jobs. he married those two and this is the first pilot project for the m.t.o. that they are investing regional dollars in affordable housing. so, that is a major milestone as well. so thank you, david campos, for your hard work. and now i wanted to introduce roberto hernandez who has been on the frontlines of this fight from day one. roberto hernandez. [applause] >> buenos dias! [speaking in spanish]! come on. let me hear you say it! [speaking in spanish]!

[crowd repeats] >> a very wise, elderly man taught me at a young age that we write our own stories. every day when we get up, it is a page that's written and we have -- we can decide how that story is written every day. and then we write chapters and, by the end of our lifetime, there's a book written about us. that we write. we're the writers. because we're the creators of our own story. but i take it to another level and say we as a community here in the mission have been writing not one book, but many, many books because this story doesn't end here. it's a story that began back many, many years that actually started mission housing development corporation. it was a story that started off by a group of us who banned together called the mission

coalition organization. the m.c.o. and aim glad to see that my compadre, my brother santiago reese is here because he was part of that. and michael nolan and pete gallegos and many others here in this space today. and speaking about my compadre, happy birthday, feliz cumpleanos because today is your birthday. this is your gift, my brother. this is your goift. this is your gift. there's senior housing that is being built right down the street and i know you're getting ready to retire. if you need a spot, there are applications given out. you can apply with them. you have it, brother? all right. we have a little spot. you want the top? penthouse? ok. all right. all right. then i want to be on top.

[laughter] all kidding aside, our mission no eviction was created by jose carasco and myself because we picked up after the dot-com boom. we recognized when we started getting people calling us up and saying hey, am i getting evicted? and within a period of 90 days, 56 people we knew were getting evicted. you know? and so we formed our mission which iss a -- what did you call it? instigators? we are revolutionaries, you know? really. that's what we are. we're not funded by anybody. we're not incorporated. we don't have bylaws. we don't have a structure. we're just a group of people that band together and have been fighting.

it is a beautiful end of the story, right? [applause] we didn't need no more luxury units. we needed 100% affordable housing, you know? and we tried working with them. we told them build 100% affordable housing. they say it doesn't pencil out. oh, really? i guess you won't make that much money, right? then we said build 100% affordable housing for teachers. because teachers need housing and they make a decent salary so they can pay a little more than somebody who's a dishwasher, right? is and they said it doesn't pencil out, right? and then we said just give us the land back. just donate the land back to the community because you're a major corporation. everybody knows lennar, right? they're a major corporation. and this is like to me like a

little cucharacha, you know? it's so small compared to all the big projects that they do. but at the end of the day, we lost and the planning commission approved it. the board of supervisors approved it. we appealed and appealed and after appeal after appeal and i want to thank scott weaver who is an attorney who volunteers his time for us and has done so much work. [applause] for free. pro bono basis. you know? and like him, there is so many other attorneys and so many other people who volunteer their time to give. and so this story ends like right here. and i want to thank mayor london breed from my corazon for going on that cruise with us. [applause] you know? and you're right. you don't know how many hits i got on facebook and twitter and everybody was blowing me up.

oh, you were cruising with the mayor? think that we were having fun. i've been telling the story -- >> working! >> yeah, we were working and in fact there is a picture somebody gathered of me driving and showing her. sorry i shouldn't have been doing this. but i'm showing and explaining to her and it was like magic. you know? for her to go and get this done with kate -- thank you, kate. thank you very much. [applause] for doing all the work that you did. but for getting this done. you know? because this gives a lot -- us a major victory, more different than the other ones that we've gotten. but this one i believe in my corazon it will make a difference and give people hope and understanding that the times have changed. we have a mayor who loves and cares for the mission district. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you! i will say i'm just really excited to see my portrayal hill folks out here. [applause]

supporting the mission. thank you all so much for coming out. thank you to our artist community. thank you, deborah and tammy. tammy from the fillmore. thank you, sam moss and all the people who are here and the work that you do to make san francisco a better place. and i just want to end it by saying that we have to be aggressive when it comes to getting more housing in this city. and, yes, the housing bond is significant. it's the largest housing bond ever introduced in this city's history and it doesn't raise property taxes, but we have to fight to get that bond passed. let me also say there two other measures that i'm proposing and i'm asking all of you to contact your supervisors for my proposed charter amendment. that charter amendment will make it possible so that all

100% affordable and teacher housing can be built as a right. so when meta and mission housing, when they're trying to go through this process to build housing and they have sadly sometimes people who are trying to stop it and they're not asking for anything other than what's already required by the code, they need to get it built and get it built faster. [applause] and there are people who don't want us to do that. they say they want affordable housing now, but i'm proposing policies that will get that affordable housing delivered now. so contact wherever you live, contact your members of the board of supervisors and express how important it is to pass this charter amendment out of the board so that we have no more delays around affordable housing. [applause]

our future is depending on it. i don't want what happened to so many of us who actually grew up in this city, born and raised, and then we turned around and we looked and we were wondering where's our community? they couldn't afford to live here because we have not built enough affordable housing. yes, everyone wants affordable housing. yes, everyone wants to make sure that san francisco remains diverse. but it's going to take work to make it happen. it will take work. it will take changes to policy. it will take bold and brave leadership. so i'm asking for your support to get this done. the other thing i'm proposing is an ordinance, which i don't have to go through the board of supervisors, thank goodness.

because the property is not zoned for housing. but the community wants teacher housing. i want teacher housing. and so it shouldn't take an additional two years to rezone the property. [applause] this is how we are going to create a better future. we're going to have to do things differently. we're going to have to make the right investments and, yes, we're going to have to come together because if we don't want san francisco to continue to change so significantly, where neighborhoods are

neighborhoods that we don't even recognize anymore, we're going to have to make an aggressive investment in affordable housing. that is what today is about. it's an aggressive investment in affordable housing. it is the support from this community that has made it possible. so i plan to do everything i can to put housing at the forefront of our decisions, at the forefront of our discussions. at the forefront of how we invest our dollars and so i ask each and every one of you to continue your advocacy, to make sure that we not only acquire this property, but we get it done in less time than it typically takes us to get a project like this done. [applause] thank you all. thank you anne cervantes. thank you so much for being here, the mission community. now let's get it done. thank you. [applause]

>> i lived in the mission neighborhood for seven years and before that the excel see your district. 20 years a resident of the city and county of san francisco. i am the executive director of a local art space nonprofit that showcases work that relate to the latino community and i have been in this building for seven years and some of my neighbors

have been here 30 year. we were notified from the landlord he was going to sell the building. when we realized it was happening it was no longer a thought for the landlord and i sort of had a moment of panic. i heard about the small sites program through my work with the mission economic agency and at met with folks from the mayor's housing program because they wanted to utilize the program. we are dealing with families with different needs and capacities. conversations were had early in the morning because that is the only time that all the tenants were in the building and finally when we realized that meda did have the resources to buy the building we went on a letter writing campaign to the landlord

and said to him we understand you want to sell your building, we understand what you are asking for and you are entitled to it, it's your land, but please work with us. what i love about ber nell height it represents the diversity that made me fall in love with san francisco. we have a lot of mom and pop shops and you can get all your resources within walking distance. my favorite air area of my homes my little small patio where i can start my morning and have my coffee an is a sweet spot for me and i test test test test test

>> this meeting will come to t

order. this is a regular meeting for vision zero committee for thursday, june 27, 2019. i am commissioner trent 10 and i enjoyed by commissioner stefani and mandelman will substitute in who had a conflict with another bar that he is on, california coastal condition. welcome and - - welcome, commissioner travertine. it's been a long time since i've seen you too. [laughter] was it like midnight last night? the committee would like to acknowledge the staff of as of geo tv who record and make this available to public online. you have any announcements? >> members of the public are

asked to silent or turn off their cell phones. public comment will be taking place after each item and speakers will have two minutes each. >> before i call the first item, i want to take a moment to recognize that we have had, unfortunately, 18 fatalities found - - in san francisco this year on the streets. this is heartbreaking. considering last year we were on the right track, and at this time last year the number of fatalities was six. what we are seeing, three times as many this year. i have said this before, were not just talking about crosswalks and so forth. vision zero is about the safety of people. many of our people are not safe, at this point, especially seeing a high

percentage of grandmothers being killed on our streets, and children and young people. this is not just a crisis in san francisco. although we have made some strides in the city. pedestrian death in the us is now the highest in 30 years. we still hold - to be an example, i would say this year we might not make that. across country, pedestrians on the rise jumping from more than 4000 in 2009, to nearly 6000 in 2017. i'm looking forward to today's presentations. i want to look more at reducing the severe net - severe injuries which have not gone down and remained at more than, i can see the number, but a lot in the last three years.

injuries are people, sometimes we don't remember that. the we talk about the deaths all the time. but there is actually a lot of people that are severely injured that we do not talk about. when they have the severe injuries, that also changes their lives. i just want to keep saying that every time i can. okay, so, let's move on. mr. claire, please call the first item. [reading items] >> okay. this is action item, do i need a motion for this? >> yes. >> can i have a motion to accept the minutes of? moved by

commissioner mandel men and seconded by commissioner stefani. with no objection, the motion passes. okay, item number three? [reading items] i am sorry. let's resend that last vote because i only called for two. can i have a motion to approve the consent agenda? no objection, than the motion passes. let's go to our regular meeting, item number four.

[reading items] >> hi. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am the senior state and federal legislative analyst at? and. i'm here to give you an update on vision zero related actions happening in sacramento. a walk shop that we would do in sacrament of her legislative bath this week. third i will go through some individual legislative items directly related to vision zero. the first thing i want to talk about is the zero fatalities traffic task force. related to speed enforcement and local control speed limit settings. the state realizes that there is a need to

create a stakeholder group to come together to think about speed management issues, handsomely. rather than these one-off legislative proposals that were not making their way through. in order to do this, the zero traffic fatalities task force reducing traffic fatalities to zero. san francisco is well represented on this task force. trans sevens director of affairs is sitting on the board. other members include local and state government representatives, chp, public health officials, it is a wide variety of folks interested in these topics. the very first meeting was held this past tuesday. it included an overview of the states priorities on speed management as well as breakout sessions for everybody to come together i really start to dig into some of these issues. the task force will have three additional meetings this

year. intended to inform legislative proposals in the 2020 legislative session. this is where we plan to see a lot of discussion of our transformative policy agenda including speed enforcement and local control speed limit settings to be discussed and hopefully be in a legislative proposal for next year. after talking to kate about her experience, she said she was hopeful this could advance san francisco's agenda up in sacramento. we will continue to keep you guys apprised of what happens with this task force in advance of next year. >> when did you say the recommendations from the task force - >> the task force will have four meetings over the next six month with a final report due out in december 2019. that will include policy recommendations for legislative proposals for the 2020 session. >> got it. okay. at that point,

i assume you will be coming back to report on that? >> yes, definitely. >> great. any indication about the automated speed enforcement? >> it is - nothing - no clear direction. as part of the conversation and speed management umbrella of issues that they are looking at. >> have you spoken to people who might have suggested ways for us to help out along? >> committee members? >> or anyone else? >> yeah, i think this sounds like this first meeting, everybody in the room, let's figure out, let's talk, let's get to know each other. once the advisory committee comes into that can help lend more voices to the table. i think - we will keep you updated. >> okay. any questions? okay.

thank you. wait. >> sorry. that was just the first part. the second part i just wanted to mention the task force working to continue to educate legislative staff in sacramento. our group of the seven largest big city departments of transportation will be holding a vision zero walking tour in sacramento tomorrow for legislative staff. the idea for that is to make sure when legislative staff conserves visions, they have a more personal contact should i can understand. we are excited about that. >> do you think there will be a lot of legislators? >> probably not legislators because it is a friday. we have at least 30 legislative staff which is pretty good. we held a similar event regarding mobility in february, we had a lot of

staff attend. a lot of them followed up throughout the session to ask us questions about legislation. it's a great way for us to continue to build those relationships. the last thing i want to do, if i can turn to my slide. i just wanted to highlight the legislation that has been making its way through this session. as you may or may not know, it's a really busy time in sacramento. we are really in the thick of it. some bills have artie seen fhm will not be moving forward. other ones have a july 12 deadline to pass out of the next policy committee for the same reason. the first bill i want to talk about is ab 47, which is a bill that would have made violations of driving with a cell phone subject to one point on a driver's record. we know distracted driving is an extremely dangerous behavior. we see it all the time. we have great education outreach program

about this as well. that was the original intent of the bill. the committee hearings have been amended a bit. now would only make a second violation that occurs within 36 months of the first violation subject to one point. it gives little more leniency to the original proposal. we did support tran30, and we are not taking commission going for because of the changes. the next bill is sb 127 that is from our very own sen. weiner. requiring caltrans to add features to have safety and accessibility to folks walking, biking and taking transit when they repave or do upgrades on state roads that function as local roads. such as as [inaudible] we know the state has different priorities than we do locally. we really want to

make sure that there is not a huge discrepancy on the state really follows our lead and design when working on roads that are in the middle of our city. we support that bill. it is making its way through the assembly right now. the third bill is ab 1112. this is a bill sponsored by assembly member friedman that would have limited the regulations that local authorities will be able to place on shared mobility devices including scooters and bike share. for san francisco, it would have included our lock to devices, parking guidelines and our equity in low income programs. it would have limited some of the data we were able to collect to help enforce our program. due to strong opposition from cities, i know san francisco worked on this a lot, and a lot of the safety advocates, the bill was turned into a two-year bill so it would not be moving forward the session which we are really

excited about, because we have a very robust program in place right now that we are, you know, in the midst of evaluating and making sure it is working correctly and we want to maintain that authority. the next bill is 8713 - - - ab 1713 lowering the blood alcohol comment - - content. several states have considered this, but utah is the only one that has been successful in passing this legislation through. there tends to be strong opposition from - this bill was never even heard in the first policy committee this year. it was decided it would not move forward a while ago. i want to keep it on the agenda to know that it is happening in sacramento. the last one i want to mention is sb 152 which is from - it would have made changes to the active transportation program which funds improvements across the

state. the bay area has been pretty unsuccessful in this program over the last cycle. we felt that the changes proposed in this that were sponsored by mtc would have allowed us to be more competitive for the funding. however the bill did face strong upper dish - opposition over the past two cycles. that is my legislative update. i'm happy to take any questions. >> any questions? no. well, i am certain what is going on there looks like what i would love. i am glad some of these are moving forward and i hope they never come back again. [laughter] thank you very much for your report. i should take public comments on this. any public comments on this item

number four? >> talking about fatalities. he just broke a record last month pertaining to drug overdoses, pertaining to this drug called fentanyl. that is a very important issue to be recognized just as much as the fatalities pertaining to pedestrians being hit by automobiles on buses, at any other type of vehicles. a lot of these overdoses are taking place in the facilities of the transportation system pertaining to muni and also the bart system. i think information should be shared on those types of problems along with the fatalities. all of them is causing death and they are in the same general location. i'm going to start pushing for moves to address the addictions of drugs that is being used two facilities of bart, and the

facilities of muni, throughout the subway system and you talk about apartment building complexes that is being built are proposed by weiner in the areas of the bart locations. i am going to be pushing for low income housing in those areas, and rehabilitation centers in the buildings themselves in order to clean up the addiction abuse that is being used in the bart system. i was speak to you lady about that. i want to see some burns issued, the way they are being issued to city college in order to have free college first ordinance, i want to point out i've seen a lot of discrepancies in that. the chancellor there, he is making false statements. he's already $32 million in debt, and he is presenting proposals, and acting

like he's creating a positive cash flow when the truth of the matter is he's actually increasing the negative cash flow that yorty have in your hands. i'm going to be putting strong emphasis on that fact, too. i want a low income people to get treated just like the high income bracket people. >> now closed area thank you. i just said thank you. don't worry. thank you for your update and keep us informed. we can move on. in my mad rush to make this meeting shorter than last night's, i had to go back and

resend the vote again because i needed to read correct the actions. can i do the vote for two and three? with no objections it is now moved. let me have motions for approving the minute. if no objection, public comment? is there any public comments on the minutes? on the minutes? okay. the motion passes. call item number three, please. [reading items] >> thank you. i don't have a presentation. i believe you have

the item in your packet. if you have any questions i'm happy to answer any of those you might have. >> can you go through the highlights? >> absolutely. overall we did a fairly good job of meeting the goals of the prior action strategies which i'm trying to make sure i do not confuse - i believe it went from 2,017-2018 because we are currently in the year 2019. and, we did fairly well, i think we got some fairly valid criticism about the strategy overall. it didn't take us to the meaningful places that we needed to go in order to achieve vision zero which is something we are responsive to through the current action strategy currently in place. just looking back over our shoulder, the most important goal we set was the 13 miles of

improvements for safeties on vision zero corridor. that was a huge emphasis change from doing projects everywhere across the city to spending our time and our dollars on the high injury network. we consistently met the 13 miles per year goal on the injury network until last year. only in 2018 we did not meet the goal but we had exceeded the goal consistently every prior year. in total over 70 miles of improvement on it citywide. we really advance a lot of policies including interval policies, crosswalk upgrade policies. new productive bike lanes all happened in the last two years in those two years in addition to advancing quick bills which is something we are now going to hear a presentation about. the first quick bill project we built in 2017 and 2018. i think modeled the kind of work we want to see moving forward and

expanding. we did a great bicycle collision analysis which immediately lent itself to a project on valencia. if you look at our bicycle collisions you see them predominantly on valencia street. even though the city spent a specific amount of time and money on valencia street. that analysis muc - immediately sent us back. nuc the results of that analysis today. protected by facilities with a new project coming on the southern portion. we are thankful for the support of the supervisors on those projects. it just shows you how a little bit of data analysis goes a long way. >> i have a question on that. >> i will talk for days on how great we are doing. >> i guess the data is showing it has improved, did you just say that? data has shown that it has improved? >> only did the bicycle

collision analysis, though we had done significant work on valencia street we were seeing new and increased collisions all over valencia. specifically on both sides were bicyclist. both from the left and the right, that is really related to the drop off and pick ups. it lent itself to an immediate new project that we have since built. >> i do interact with that road a little bit. i was just curious whether it's just me or maybe other people have expressed one block from market street going south, or when we get to do both. i usually make a turn in their, and always worrying about the bike lane where i can't really see them. they are traveling really fast, by the

time i could see anything, cars are parked in between the driving lane and the bike lane. so, when i tried to merge where i can turn, it's okay if bicyclists are going regular speed, there really people that can go real fast. i might not see them coming down. >> we anticipated and it's actually consistent. what we are doing is putting in a protected bicycle signal specifically so we separate the right turn that you are trying to make from cycle is going southbound. signal work takes longer. we are trying to get that posted as fast as possible. in the coming months you will see a signal change which fully separates the cyclists from the cars. come and give us feedback.

>> it wasn't just me? >> no, it was everybody. i want to skim quickly, we have since naturally changed our school program based on the feedback from this committee we were successful with prior efforts. we do have a revamp program in addition we launched the safe routes for seniors program which i think has been well met. we will hear more about that today. we had a line items for families for safe streets and we have been finding that program and will continue to fund that program. that was something that did not exist prior to this year's action strategy. we linked hospital data to police data in the to your timeline. we've started working with fleet managers in the city and providing fleet training to all city vehicle drivers. i just want to highlight the things that
