andlet julie go into detail on this allocation request. next is public works for cleaning of the street and repair. we fund this every year for a handful of vehicles and equipment that have used their useful life. public sidewalk and curb repair for damage to curbs not caused by trees, by poor construction or damage from construction vehicles. members of the public can request sidewalk repair by calling 311. next is for tree planting. the maintenance of trees throughout the city is funded by prop e general fund set aside to maintain the city street treats and public right away to be planted and watered regularly for the first three years then maintained by the city. there is a requirement that

public works prioritize planting in locations that existing empty tree wells. they will take into consideration areas with canopy cover. you can request tree plants by calling 311. speed radar sign. there is a redarthat will mark the speed your vehicle is going. they can be effective to reduce vehicle speeds but it is just an information piece provided to drivers. the locations are based on community and staff request. as members of the board or public have locations on major thoroughfares with locations with good candidates there is a very principal method for prioritizing the locations. if you have locations to be

considered please let me know and i will forward it. the next two requests for application based traffic cal calming. propped k have the sales tax forms on local residential streets. they are primarily speed humps and traffic cushions. first is the applications accepted into the program. the applications received in june of 2018. this is the annual program. the m.t.a. received about 100 locations, about half were accepted into the program. in your packet there is an enclosure that includes the list of the locations where applications were received for and the locations accepted into the program. this is for the implementation of that work. next request is to evaluate the

applications that came in june of 2019, and this is also including the locations that are in the packet in the enclosure to your packet materials. the next request is for the design phase of the safe taylor for streetscapes. this is a large capital project thank has been informed from planning work over the last several work by working group input that will complete next summer. this is in addition to the quick build projects that have gone in from the sf m.t.a. quick build program. the next is for the safe streets evaluation. it is the second year prop k has funded this program. it is evaluation of projects

planned or underway and to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments m.t.a. is using to increase safety at these locations. m.t.a. presented the last report in spring of 2019. i would expect the next report would be presented in similar timing. next two requests are the first two neighborhood transportation improvement planning from cycle two. first is district four mobility improvements. appropriation to transportation authority to study profile and travel patterns of district four residents. objective to identify the high shares of single vehicle use and to explore how to get single vehicle use to decline by

offering alternatives to drive alone and with the final report presented to this body next fall, which is similar to timing. this is for the second tip neighborhood program for the safety improvements to i guy hotspots on alemany and to come up for recommendations on improving safety so there won't be a series of meetings over the year and final report to the body in september of next year. i am going to turn this over to julie, who will present the powerpoint presentation you have in your packet materials. >> the floor is yours. >> i believe we are pulling up

the powerpoint. >> good morning. julie kirsch ball, transit director. thank you for the opportunity to talk about this really critical program for our transit system the midlife overhaul program. it came out of our 2017 fleet plan, which really sought to transition from having among the oldest fleet in america to a new and reliable float that i am pleased to say is the cleanest in north america. what is exciting to me about these is that not only have we adopted them at the planning level, but they have been institutionalized. we have seen a complete cultural

change in the maintenance group and how we approach maintenance. there is broad adoption for the program. it includes things like developing a performance based spec. we used to be specific about every nut and vote on the vehicles. really the industry is much better suited to design to make sure they are highest standards, aligning with the city sustainability roles and anticipating the growth upon us. the program has become a three corelments. first space out the procurements. previously all of our buses were new and old at the same time. sometimes they were reliable and sometimes they were not.

everything with a midlife not built into the program. we worked hard to spread out the procurement. we will continue to do that. >> the second was that the vehicles needed to be maintained to the highest standard. if you picture your car, the vehicle is recommended to have an ale change every three thousand miles. we have instructions on the preventative maintenance programs. 1.5000 miles and we are constantly using our own data as well. sometimes we are exceeding the recommendations and replacing sooner. with our hills and heavy loads

some things need replaced sooner. the third is the midlife overhaul program. wheel the buses have a self life of 12 to 15 years, depending motor coach or trolley, many of the come opponents in this vehicle have a shorter lifespan. we want to expect high performance in year 11 as in years 2, 3 3, and 4. we have had a major fleet transition with significant support from prop k. we replaced 800 motor and trolley coaches in the last six years. the last vehicles are 40-foot trol low coaches. we have 160.

we will have completed by november. as part of the program we also added more 60-foot buses. corridors like patro would have larger buses. the last will happen this january. the investment in our fleet has paid tremendous dividends. one of the things we measure for the quality of the vehicle is how often does it breaking down in service? if you look at the numbers from the 1980s it was breaking down every two to three thousand miles. up to 6,000 in the 2000s. today the breakdowns are 10 to 12,000. as few as five to six vehicles breaking in service today.

>> through this investment we have seen a doubling of performance on these fleets, the other advantage with not having everything old or new at the same time the other benefit is that you can make improvements as you go. for example, our newest vehicles will have a state of the art securement system and as we look to our midlife we will upgrade the existing vehicles with these features, bike racks, seats that are less rattley. some safety features like in the photo.

the midlife typically happens within years six to eight of the vehicles with the intent to keep the vehicles 12 to 15 years. we have not traditionally done midlife overhauls in our system. it makes us unique and not in a good way in the industry. i think i am really pleased that this program is taking root. we have experience with midlife. we did do a midlife on a small portion of our cranio plans, and we did this to help spread out the procurement that i discussed. as part of this we did see an improvement in the failures. 3500 to 6,000. we were able to extend the life of the fleet and comfort for passengers. these are the before and after

photos. you can see it in the top. heavily graffiti that we were able to clean up. on the right is a structural repair to the frame that we were able to make to re-enforce the vehicle. you don't see this graffiti in the new vehicles in part because of our strict vehicle appearance standards. also, because the new vehicles were very much designed to be graffiti-resistant. everything from the floor to the surfaces being quick wipe were designed to reduce gaff graffitd vandalism. this is for 330 vehicles. each vehicle would be out of service for about 40 days. we estimate 13 to 15 vehicles at

a time with the expectation of getting 8 to 12 vehicles back a month. once the vehicles come back, they do go through thorough testing and inspection about going back on the road. this is a three phase program with the intent of doing a midlife on the entire rubber tire fleet with phase two beginning in 2022 and phase three in 2025. thank you for your time i am available to answer any questions that you have on this program. >> supervisor peskin: we are delighted to have the state-of-the-art fleet in north america. i see a number of commissioners on the roster. do any of you have questions as it relates to the midlife over hall of the new flyers?

no. okay. with that, commissioner brown. >> commissioner brown: yes, i actually would like to request funding from the speed radar sign installation program for oak street. >> request funding for a specific project? >> speed and radar installation program. i know they are looking at sites to put those. i am actually requesting that fell and oak be on those streets. >> that is absolutely noted. the project managers are here. those locations will be taken into consideration as m.t.a. is evaluating potential locations for implementation. i will have them work with your office for an update. >> supervisor peskin: commissio.

>> chair mar: thank you. i wanted to thank the ta staff, particularly director staff for working with my office on the district four mobility improvement study. on the prop k i want to say we are excited about moving ahead with this and coming up with new ideas to expandment offices for sunset residents that are the most car dependent in the city, but i know that the residents in the sun set are very interested in getting out of their cars, and they will be interested in coming up with new ideas to do that. thank you. >> commissioner haney. >> supervisor haney: thank you,

chair peskin. i had a question about the speed radar sign installation program. it seems like the timeline is a couple years for it to get done, and thanks to the leadership of chair peskin and supervisor yee and others we are pushing forault to speed enforcement. would this in any way help to prepare us or how does this relate to that? in addition do we have an analysis of making these effective. do they provide warnings when people are going at fast speeds. how do we make sure these are effective and lining us up for hopefully automated speed enforcement. >> i will have the project manager address your questions.

we have required before and after speed data. this is something that is cac pointed out. how effective are the signs? there is not enforcement tied to the signs necessarily in april of themselves. they are to make the driverss aware of the speed. they have been shown to have some benefit. i will let phillip go into detail on that. as far as automated speed enforcement, that is independent of this project, but parallel to. there is no substitute and the enforcement part of the auto speed enforcement be is what is primarily different from the signs.

>> good morning. these signs are directly informational they don't do any type of enforcement. they don't record speed information. i think they do have the capability to record some speed information but not to enforce any pictures or anything like that, the license plates or anything. >> thank you. secondly, i had a question about taylor street. it was the street where we recently had a fatal crash on taylor. there were efforts to analyze that intersection. have from been any changes made as a result of that analysis that followed that crash? i got some feedback from people who spend time in that area.

i spend the time so the way the bill has been sent up maybe leads to increased speed. has that impact the what we are doing with taylor street overall? >> let me get back to you? i will work with sf m.t.a. staff for a full response. >> supervisor peskin: commissio? >> supervisor yee: i have questions. maybe add to the remark about the radars. i found it to be somewhat effective for my neighborhood. what i think it does is for those that want to speed are going to speed, and i think when those that are more conscious

about their efforts, the radar thing wasn't there they will go so miles more. they will slow down and it forces other cars to slow down. that is what i have seen. i don't know if it is like that elsewhere. iit is effective. it doesn't stop. that is that. i want to ask a few questions around -- thank you for the allocation. i hope, hopefully, we will support it to study the undergrounding of the m line is something w we are encouraging u to move quickly on.

this study is good. i am concerned about what kind of outreach we will have. number one, i know there is nothing being done yet. the sooner we inform our communities of the possibility, because if it is decided that we have enough funding to move forward, the disruption we learned from central line will be enormous, and we have done some outreach regionally in terms of moving to this concept along 19th avenue mostly, but the larger impact will be westport area. we haven't done a whole lot there. that is one question, and in

regards to the development of this, i am hoping that we take into consideration and have a business plan of some sort to again catch it in front of the curb, what kind of impact would this have on businesses along this corridor. we are looking at many, many years of tearing up the street and so forth, i want us to be te able to say we will impact you, we will mitigate rather than scrambling five years after the fact. >> thank you commissioner yee and sarah jones, it is my team that is engaging? this study. your questions regarding the out

reach. this is technical from the standpoint we are talking about a big challenge in undergrounding through the portal. that is going to be a key factor in answering that question of whether this is a project that makes sense that we want to prioritize and pursue as a city. we are looking into important questions here, but one key piece of that is really understanding what it means for the community that is experiencing this. yes, outreach is intended to be part of this effort. we have to work hard to make sure there is really understanding of what we are talking about and what the right questions are to be asking.

as you note, we are not yet ready to say, yes, we are doing this, but we do want to talk through and understand the trade-offs, how do you balance bigger i issue. city needs, public needs, the riding public with the individual neighborhood. that is something we want to grapple within this project. your second question -- second question towards construction mitigation, i don't know that this piece of this study at this moment in time is where we would put our focus. it is something that we do intend and recognize the need to

bring into the print when we are really planning to put shovels in the ground for sure. it is hard to know the conditions and needs what they will be several years from now but something we are keeping in mind as we talk and want to make commitments around. >> i think it is not getting to the dollar signs at the mitigation is along every step of the process that we are consures about that. if the end report will be given, it should say something about business mitigation to be studied more carefully so that community feels more confident

we are paying attention. >> we can make sure that it is address addressed and that we are asking questions and talking about it a along the way. >> i am done with this piece. i have a question on the speed radar sign installation program. how many we are looking at, do you know? how are the locations termed determined? i think it is five or six lobses or signs. this would be to stall them. their locations are identified by community and staff requests in house or at the agencies that

they are candidate locations that would by recommended for this and request from the community. in your enclosure to your packet, there is the guidelines that m.t.a. uses to prioritize the speed radar type. we are at the location, that is more public. what is implemented is based on the guidelines that the m.t.a. has adopted. >> when i read it, i kepted it. in regards to the safer streets evaluation program, the 15 or 20 projects, what order preand post

data is being everythings collision of oles oles oles is on you on you isings collision of -- r -- collectedded. >> so the evaluation that would be done, and i will make sure if the response is not complete sf m.t.a. staff will get back to you. it has consistent metrics across the projects is what this is saying in the request materials, the data would be i would imagine speed, collision rates,

before and after abide dense to the infrastructure along those lines. it is standard across the project. same data will be collected. i will get back to you with a more robust response from m.t.a. >> that would be great. i am interested to see. >> commissioner ronen. >> chair ronen: similar to commissioner brown. i want to make a request a speed radar sign installation be placed on cortland avenue. i am not sure what the best intersection is there, we have had pedestrian fatality at one intersection. we had a pedestrian hit.

it is an incredibly busy street where there are tons of kids going back and forth from the library, there is a bus line on the street making it difficult to put speed bumps that are effective. we reached the limit of what we can do in traffic coming with the exception of a radar sign which seems like a good place to put one. i would like to put that on the record. >> we will make sure m.t.a. staff follow up with your office as well. >> commissioner safai. >> supervisor safai: the wait is long. thank you. i am glad you have a small project but important project on the list today for $100,000. i want to add that i am hoping

this doesn't take until september 20 next year to finalize the report. we want a robust community outreach process. the accidents are piling up. thank god we haven't had any fatalities. the accidents and collisions are piling up weekly if not monthly. we get e-mails all of time when another car that had a collision. the cars speed by. a gentleman sent me a photograph. they lived in the community o onalonalamany. cars crashed into them and side swiped them. we have talked about these things. i am happy to put $100,000 of my money toward this. i am happy you will prioritize

this. we are talking about having this process launch for four or five months. i don't want to wait until september 2020. i would like to have a quick resolution so we can begin putting out the costs and then come back to request the improvements that need to happen. they are straightforward. we need need lights and traffic calming, all of you will come in. we need to accelerate this process. that is important to me. i want to cut that timeline at least in half. >> noted. commissioner fewer. >> supervisor fewer: i want to put fulton corridor on the list for the traffic signs.

>> speed radar signs? >> yes, thanks. >> miss laporte is nodding here head. that concludes questions and comments from commissioners are there members of the public to testify on item 6? seeing none, public comment is -- go ahead. item 6 going once. the floor is yours. >> this presentation is a very long presentation starting about 200 issues. then we have to give our comments in two minutes. i have divided two-parts. the allocation sounds good but takes a long, long time. 16 years ago we asked for traffic lights. recently they have been addressed but not completed. as i told you, the crosswalks

are not painted. there is all this talk, it is just talk. again and again i say that it has to be good project management and mitigation of which the m.t.a. lacks. when we approach we can't get a response. of course, sfcta is good at presentations but not enforcement. we have to go to someone to make it work. that is why you have allocation stuff, not money in the areas that really need it. why should it take 16 years for the traffic lights.

we initiated that request together. when it comes to talking about buses, i would like to have our union here like before. i would like to have them speak about the buses. when i ask how are the buses working, they don't address congestion. there are six nine buses back-to-back. what do you say about that. my two minutes are gone. >> public comment is closed. i apologize, i did not see you. we will re-open. >> i am dwayne gains. i would like to know, m.t.a. is crazy. it is on the weekend. what sense does that make? i got the nine.

i am waiting for 15, 20 minutes on the weekend. people are going to chinatown, downtown, shopping. you had the many 9r with double brush and took it off on the weekend. >> cash it on sunday. it doesn't make any sense to me. thank you. >> any other members of the public for item 6? public comment is really closed. is there a motion with regard to item 6 made by commissioner yee and seconded by commissioner fewer. a house rolling call, please. (roll call).

>> you have got your $17.9 million. one person is clapping. are there any introduction of new items? any general public comment? >> i have a new item? >> supervisor peskin: what. >> commissioner haney. >> i had one thing that i would lover to ask for a future meeting. i have spoken to staff about this. everybody knows that this year we are on track to have one of our most deadly years for pedestrians and cyclists, and a huge part of our effort to reverse that is the enforcement component. the mayor has issued a directive

to focus on the five most deadly behaviors on the roads and topthose be 50% of our tickets. what i would love to have is an update to this body on that directive. what additional resources have been invested? how can we access additional funding to support it? are we preventing violations and keeping people safe? this is also looking at the red light camera strategy and broader enforcement component to vision zero. >> noted. we will find appropriate venue which will be this body or the vision zero committee. i will work to achieve that. any general public comment? mr. de koss ta. >> i want a comment on market street.

in one week twice all of the tram-cars stalled on market street. i want to know how this happenings. it is only one line in the year 2019 that all tram-cars should hook up to this one line or can we have two lines? once the tram-cars stall, there is added congestion, too much congestion. somebody should look into this. it has been happening a long time. we have fancy tram-cars. dianne feinstein started that program. there is nothing wrong with that, but is a disgrace when we

have so much congestion. we are already known to be second to los angeles if i'm not mistaken, and congestion contributes to this. i don't know how to handlize the footprints on the concrete, industrial dish. our children and infants are suffering. look into the tram-cars. if somebody could spend me an e-mail so i could speak offline about what i think about the tram-cars and congestion and health. as supervisors we represent the people. don't screw our health. that is happening in san francisco. san francisco has lost its soul. thank you very much. >> any other members to testify

under general public comment. public comment is closed. let me mention to staff relative to commissioner haney's hearing request in addition we have a representative of the mayor's office. that concludes this meeting. we are adjourned. .

side and of course time on this side. you know i have done a lot of events for both mayors in the city. it is an honor to be here. i am a bay area guy born and raised here. we are bringing two cities together to do something positive and to make things happen in the bay area. we have the biggest champions from the neighborhoods and cities here for battle of the bay. we want to acknowledge the lovely mayor mayor london breed and from oakland to my right. it is a competition, folks. it is friendly. the smiles are great. you know we are rolling our sleeves in a few moments. let's acknowledge from both sides. it wouldn't be a battle without or mascots. from the san francisco giants

lucille. from your oakland as give it out for stomper. [cheers.] >> of course, we have community partners and we are going to hear from them to speak about the efforts. it is the city of san francisco and oakland, the two cities facing off right here. it is about the greening competition to take place saturday, september 21st as part of the annual california coastal cleanup day. there is a cool incentive that we will announce as well. lucky folks from oakland and san francisco will win on alaska airlines a trip wherever they want to go. make sure to sign up. get teams ready, and you might win the tickets to anywhere we fly on alaska airlines. it also protects the san

francisco bay. cleaning, greening neighborhoods. trash removal, habitat restoration, tree planting, neighborhood beautiful projects. we are going to hear more about the efforts, what the battle for the bay 2019 i is all about. we have a little coin to to see who will go first. it is a competition. this is game time. i have a coin. the mayors. let's hear it for them. ladies and gentlemen, from oakland to my right once again. please welcome our mayor libby. from san francisco your mayor london breed.

okay, mayors, we are all smiles. it is a competition san francisco and oakland. we will do the coin toss. to my left is mayor london breed. this is heads. this is tails. heads, you, tails you, ms. schaaf. this is a coast guard coin. here we go. what do you think? it is tails, lay or libby schaaf goes first for the city of oakland. >> that is a great beginning. we have already won. listen, this is a battle for the bay because when the bay wins everyone wins. we are two cities, but we are sharing one incredible environmental asset, that is our

beautiful bay. we really want to emphasize this year that every neighborhood has storm drains that flow into our bay so taking care of our bay is not just about cleaning up at did beach or on the coastline. we want people in our neighborhoods. we need our neighborhoods to be clean, healthy, shiny, beautiful. that is what this is about in oakland. let me be clear with you all, we have over 2000 volunteers already signed up. [applause.] i am happy to report oakland is in the lead as of now. however, people,na lead is narrow. let us -- san francisco has

twice the population, but oakland has twice the pride. [cheers.] there is no pride like an oakland pride, whether you are from the city or the town. i think we have to show the town shows up for its community, right? that is how we do it in oakland. i am excited after we hear from our mayor we will hear from a community leader. i want be to thank the people who don't just do picking up on earth day, they do it every day. we hope that coming out of our battle 4 bay you say i love this picking up trash. i want to do this all of the time because it makes me feel good to make my beautiful neighborhood clean, healthy, and i connect with my neighbors this way. that is what is beautiful.

now, mayor breed, we have been talking about a little wager, all right? mayor, i dare you if you lose in the battle for who has the most volunteers, i challenge you to come volunteer with me wearing all as gear -- a's gear. [applause.] this is a wager. i want you volunteering with me at a charity with me wearing your a's gear. do you accept my challenge, mayor breed? >> mayor breed: that is hard. wearing a's gear?

that is a bit much. i will accept. >> she accepts. >> i know we are going to win so she has to wear the giants' gear. >> no, no. nobody looks good in orange. before i give up the microphone i have to recognize a few important supporters. the california coastal commission facilitates this entire event all over our state. [applause.] >> our oakland parks and recreation foundation is a fiscal agent for both cities for this challenge. thank you. i also want to acknowledge our council member from oakland lauren taylor. jason mitchell and his fabulous

staff. what is your move? all right. and some of the top sponsors from oakland, waste management of al lameadda california, california waste solutions. argent materials out of east oakland, andy's construction, silver gates construction donating on behalf of the cyprus training program. i want to thank my sister across the bay, london breed. [applause.] >> all right. london, show me what you got. >> mayor breed: let me start by saying, i have never been this excited since the oakland raiders and the 49ers played the last time at candlestick where we won.

and we all know that in san francisco we don't talk big, we just do big stuff. mayor, my sister from across the bay, i accept your challenge because in san francisco we already make cleaning up and greening and taking care of our city a regular part of what we do. in fact, every single month mr. clean, our director of public works, mr. clean himself, organizations incredible groups like united players and other folks out there taking care of the streets. here is the thing. we have amazing volunteers. we have amazing people who work for the department of public works and the rec and parks

department. phil ginsburg is here, amazing people who cleanup the bay. we have to do more. mayor, i have seen you on more than one occasion wearing your love oak land t-shirt and i love san francisco. when people go around loving the city. proof that you love your city. roll up your sleeves, take care of your community, and you grew up in san francisco, born and raised just like may or schaaf. born and raised in oakland. one of the things my grandmother used to do is make us cleanup in front of where we lived. i did i kicking and screaming. it is paying attention to making sure my actions reflect how i feel about my city, that i am

not just throwing garbage on the ground or putting water bottles in recycle and doing things to keep the city clean but to protect our environment. in san francisco we have bee han doing an incredible job leading the way in a number of environmental policies. our director of the department of environment is here. thank you so much. the toughest band in the country, pushing for aggressive drug take off, continuing to work with the coastal commission to save our bay. yes, this is a competition and san francisco will win, but ultimately, climate change is real, and we have to start with young people. we have to start implementing the kinds of policies in san

francisco and throughout the world to make this planet the best place for generations to come. just think about it. in san francisco we never needed an air-conditioner before. we have had record temperatures in the '90s that are unprecise departmented. we have to start taking care of the bay, the communities, taking care of each other, and also winning the bet, more importantly. san franciscans, it is time to step up to show your love. step up to make sure you sign up and volunteer because you don't want to see your mayor wearing a's gear, do you? you do not want to see that site. make sure we step up on the 21st. we will come out, clean, green, do painting of murals and do other things which not only take

care of our city and planet, it also brings our communities together. i want to thank each and every one of you for being here. thanks to all of the folks who are here from the department as well as some of our major sponsors who have consistently supported projects like this on a regular basis. thank you to recology, emerald fund and alaska airlines because, you know, we have to feed volunteers. you know how that works. we have to have supplies and equipment. ultimately, getting out there, doing the hard work, making it part of your lives and what you do every day to take care of the city and bay isri
