driving, and especially telling them to do the right thing is important. making it clear there is a focus on enforcement and putting up in clearer ways places where there are red light cameras, in the high injury corridors priority elevated enforcement. you are entering a zone where you better act right or there is traffic cops in this area. is that a part of what we are doing? i think that we need to get to those drivers coming to san francisco because they are driving for ride share or renting a car who are not going to get connected to the outreach in other ways except when they come to the city and let them know they should follow the law or there will be consequences. >> thank you.

>> some of the feedback from my constituents. there are things targeted at drivers inside buses. they have just suggested to me -- not that that makes sense -- making sure they are in the places where people are driving are and really visible and letting them know about enforcement. >> the rapidly changing infrastructure in the tenderloin, we are aware of that problem. seven new scrambles are coming in by the end of the year. we are working on specific out reach cards to work with the tenderloin task for to pass out cards to residents to better explain what the new feature is and how to infer act with it.

that is one thing we are doing to address that. in terms of using innovative ways to do outreach to drivers. in addition to the safe speeds campaigns we did outreach to rental card companies and made materials available to people coming in to rent cards. we also did outreach at dmv. we have a video playing at 170 field offices within california. that is another way we are trying to reach drivers. in terms of enforcement i don't want to speak for the police department. they have recently piloted a traffic citation task force group to focus on the five citations and they are adding more officers to do morsitations around the city -- more of the

citations around the city. >> with the messages and videos, we are letting people who are driving know that is happening and in certain areas with more enforcement or red light camera, the places where we do people should know it is there as a prevention mechanism. i know where they are and it is not especially visible and it should be to be a real deterrent. >> thank you. >> supervisor peskin: commissio. >> chair mar: thank you for all of your work on these important initiatives. i had a few points to add to the points my colleagues have made and a few questions. you know, the multi lingual

outreach and to seniors is important to ensure that everyone in the city understands vision zero priorities and is engaged in the vision zero campaign. both in terms of just raising awareness of it and changing behaviors with pedestrians and drivers. it is important in order to build more understanding of the different policy and program initiatives through vision zero especially those that are contentious. like daylighting might result in removal of parking spaces in commercial areas. my office has been working with m.t.a. staff on expanding daylighting in district four in

the sun set district. we are identifying the 100 priority intersections for daylighting in our district. we see the need to ensure since that residents understand the importance and why we are moving with daylighting in the sun set and city. this can help build more support for these efforts. also, i really like the comprehensive approach in the senior outreach, both broad-basedded education through radio ads, social media and the deeper education and engagement that happens through the outreach at events and presentations to community groups. it looks like through at least -- i had a question.

it looks like some partner ship with community-based organizations as well, funding provided to do deeper and more intensive outreach to clients and constituents. is that only happening in the senior safe treats for senior program or does the funding and partnership for community organizations also happening through the multi lingual vision zero outreach? >> the seniors program we give out funding every year to community based organizations. they will have our very in depth outreach in that neighborhood. then there are like cb o i am sharing. they have the language to

capacity and the capacity to reach out. seniors and service providers from different cultural backgrounds. >> that is very important. do you have a similar partnerships to outreach to families and children that are not seniors with organizations that are serving those populations? >> we will have partnerships when we develop the campaign for the chinese focus campaign, we will work with the chinese hospital. when we want to develop specific materials we will work with cb os to test the messaging. do you think this works? if not, how shall we edit it. the comic cards are something we created as a result of the partnership with the c.e.o.

>> there are some neighborhoods like the sun set have a large chinese population, large nonenglish speaking population. there is less service providers in the neighborhood like the sun set compared to other neighborhoods. i wanted to highlighter that and say that i think for a neighborhood like the sun set where the conditions exist, you know, i think it would be good to look at other types of ways to reach the community since we don't have as many service providers. that is a good way my office is able to reach the chinese community in the sun set. >> thank you so much. >> supervisor peskin: any other questions from members?

seeing none, is there public comment on item 7? thank you for your collective presentations. first speaker, please, mr. de cost. >> when it comes to vision zero, i can give you an example so that you supervisors can understand. the people who speak here are practical or not practical. there is one intersection on bruno over two months now the lines that were removed because of asphalting haven't been painted, the crosswalks. the last time i was here, i told you there was a ditch and a

chinese woman sat in the -- fell in the ditch and broke her arm and did not want to go to the hospital. we had to reach out to somebody to translate, get a relative. they took her home. i don't know what happened. now when we talk about whatever we want to do in generalities, we have to have a check list. i say that many times. right now somebody like me, i have no time to waste. i will send an e-mail to mo to o mohammed. if it is done how can you pay those people if they haven't met the checklist? how can adversely impact the

children at the schools, impact the seniors and yet you are talking in denarralties of who is going to do the outreach? the chinese hospital or something? no, no, no. it doesn't look like that. now, finally, sir if we have some groups who do the work, there must be some representation here today to tell you all whether or not it is effective or not effective. thank you very much. >> supervisor peskin: any other members for item 7? seeing none, public comment is closed. would you please read item six. >> clerk: allocate $16.1 million anal locate $100,000 on prop k sales tax funds for 2012 requests.

this is is an action item. >> good morning commissioners, deputy director for policy and programming. i am pleased to present 12 requests for you this morning. first is the muni subway expansion development. this project would study the potential undergrounding of the n line and k line as they are entering to the twin peaks tunnel and also conceptual designs and cost estimates. this is for these particular lines to study a particular segment of the m line area that is shown on your slide. the benefits to improvements to the metro in this particular area would be recognized

throughout the city providing speed reliability and capacity to the full system. next is the request for the midlife overhauls project for schedule d overhauls based on manufacturer's allocations. julie is here to present be a power present presentation included in your packets. i will be brief on this slide 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.

>> okay. we will call the meeting to order. we will start with the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flage s of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. . >> roll call.
