scheduling updates to the commission as limp if next vision zero task force based upon feedback from the city the sfmta convened the vision zero task force for discussions of many of the topics staff presented here to the sfmta on march 7. the task force will meet quarter low moving forward. and finally and importantly, i want to acknowledge that last sunday, march thenth, was the of 50th anniversary of the san francisco board of supervisors adoption of the city's transit first policy. the board doomentd transit first on march 19, 1973, 50 years ago this week. not only passed boy the board back in 1973 but reafirmed by voters 2 dksdz later. this visionary policy was born out of the. freeway revol in the 60s and 70s amid an office boom in downtown san francisco n. upon 70s san

franciscans realized they could not demolish low income neighborhoodses to widen streets and reads to accommodate growth. that in order to accommodate the on going growth and economic revitalization we needed to focus as a city on the most space fortunate modes of transportation. it is often times misaudio as transit only it is in the p. i encourage torn read the policy temperature it is irrelevant about how to make the over all transportation system work in a way that acknowledges that basic just a moment tree constraints of urban transportation. when i drive a car, it is convenient for me. i go from a to b any time of i have my tunes and storage and car seats and whatever i want. i take up more then and there 10 times as mump roadway space as i

do when i walk or bike or take muni. transit first is a prodriving policy. in order to make it possible for people had need to drive to be able to drive in san francisco, we got to prioritize the most space fortunate modes of transportation to accommodate growth, we need to make surety next generation prioritize walking and biking and transid so people who need to drive can continue top drive and the city does not strangle itself on unrelenting traffic congestion we will see transit first at play in am the projects from our redesign of tervalto van ness bus ripped transit. the vaness transit planned in the 90's. and transit first is a great policy it has not been implement in the san fran it

remains an aspiration. if we want to make transit first work it cannot take 30 i don't knows for every bus way project to prioritize the mode of transportation that moves the most people in the least amount space. transit first is a lot just a moment tree we have been --00 we need to make sure as we add the new families we welcome to san francisco that we provide them options for not stuck in a car and strangling the city in traffic. you will hear later today transportation represents 44 percent of green house gas and 70% is private vehicles. if we want our city to be survivable we need to make sure

we electrify the float and making mobility the least [inaudible] and most fortunate. this means prioritizing walking, biking and muni. we than our busied need 10 thbld steps or pushes of a wheel chair a day to function. and we need san francisco to be design in the a way that allows people to achieve health without forced drive to a jim and run on a treadmill. city needs to be built ooshldz everaround safe and joyful walking for all ages and abilities. all of the will walking devices we prioritize. and i think we need to remember in a time when our society is divided that is the last accomplice we come together it is on municipaly. muni serves everyone.

people of all ages and abilities and jendzers of all ethnicity and all walks of life. the place where we are reminded that we all share something in common. municipaly continues to welcome everyone in san francisco employs we talk about the climate plan these require this we make really hard choices as an agency. very hard for a staff to make because we operate in a context many san franciscans don'tment change or have a hard time making a trade off with personal convenience and our climate health equity economic recovery goals. stake holders see it conflicting with their desires for the staechl our task here is to explain the tensions and trade

offs and make recommendations to you approximate hopeful low support you in make the tough calls this will be necessary in order for us to achieve our goals. i'm hopeful it has taken 50 years that transit first will not be an aspirational policy but be the rules by which we do all of our work. that some my report. thank you. why thank you. director hinze is on the phone. >> yep. >> just a few quick comments. one thank you for your work on transit operator appreciation day? i know this operators [inaudible] post accommendationos twitter?

residential. and just the met tricks of streets to be included in the program. we need to create a process when neighborhoodses like so many am to have will slow streets i encourage to you reinstate soma. creating an on boarding process working with the commute so that the communities who want will slow streets and don't meet it can help them. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. hi. i'm leah. and board member at walk sf i'm call nothing spchlt slow street in soma. i don'ts live in soma. we had our child i [inaudible] [inaudible] thought [inaudible] [cannot upon understand speaker] [muffled].

slow streets are a small part of the solution to the issues you raise around high speed traffic. i longer like to ask to speak to the slow streets piece and spends time talking about a network of one way high spree street in soma that create an unsafe environment. it is a significant concern and deserves more attention. >> i want to thank [inaudible] and [inaudible] for and [inaudible] all of you for joining us. traffic safety and walkability in soma is my personal highest priorities. as you all know both soma and the tenderloin is the highest rate of traffic collisions and fatalities and the greatest number of seniors and people sdwablts and children in all of san francisco the issueers important. we had a bit of a miscommunication.

if you look at slow streets mapful on our website. we are trying to do and may be we are being frying to come up with different names for different streets. had we want to do for many of thealys in soma and specific low [inaudible] is to fold them in a new soma living alley way program perform will offer us better tools than we have in the traditional slow street program. on those alleys there is less traffic. and we can do more interesting things than the slow streets. i think we were trying to be too clever when in fact i think what people is for there to be a comprehensive set of slow streets and different slow streets rather than calling them by different names. we are committed to make your block great along worrying street in so many a. i would and

thank you for coming out and i want to introduce you to shannon who is our lead staff person for the slow streets program. and i'm sure she would be delighted work with you directly so we can have better communication and better understanding of when you are all looking for on this block and he wills where. do you want to say anything. >> absolutely. hi i'm shannon the slow streets program manager. the covid response slow street in soma was recommend as part of the permanent program in december of left year because we were looking at a city wide program that prioritized connections with the city actsive transportation network. because these did not meet that we did not include them in the program. however, see thanksgiving level of community support we are thrilled learn it is an important part of the community

and we will return to the board when we're able to bring a recommendation on slow street in soma. and i will say that in we will maintain the materials out there so untiling be removed. thank you very much. >> secretary can you call the next item? director this accomplices you on item item 10 consent. director? chair. 20th street slow street. >> these items are considered routine acted upon boy a single vote. i will read 10.within, proving parking and traffic modifications. a-g in the agenda and as our director yekutiel severed i will take 10. 2 after that.

return to item 10. 2 approving 20th street as part of the slow streets program electronically [inaudible] residential street in san francisco prioritize biking walking and transportation ensure access to everyone. do you have comments. this is smith brought up before the board felt like the area from valence why to shotwelwas unsuccessful as a slow street. an active parking lot flchlt a lot of sxars thought abused 99 tables and chairs but [inaudible]. dangerous and the point of slow streets to reduce the initial cars. i got a bunch of director feedback from folks tloornd are cyclists that were confused why this board voted make 22nd a

slow street. sounds like we got out reach. about bring 20th back in halfway measure. so i wanted understand the process to bring it back. and then talk about the shot welbeginning of it. i also remember 20th and shot wel. 20th is a slow street it was 4 way and understanding why we didn'ts want to start at folsom you don't have all 4 intersections slow streets. i think it is the only one where there is a 4 way >> no. >> can you help me thousand. >> i can start with a presentation if you like in the context and move forward with questions. i don't know if my colleagues need a presentation i'm okay if you want to answer the questions we got a lot today. >> julia the streets team leading the work.

so if i understands correct low sdreshth yekutiel, why what the process was? >> because we voted big prioritize 22 nldz and now asked to bring 20th back. your we here? >> happy to responded. the reason we are here after the december meeting the board approved the slow streets program we heard feedback from community members on 20th street that they wanted hold on to 20th as a slow street provided benefits with traffic and alsoing the bike way network. they did not want to lose the mission 22n't street is a planned slow street but since the covid slow streets were removed from the program they wanted see an on going slow street. we looked at 20th and changed

the slow street so it starts not at lexington but further east at shotwelthe intersection of the 2 slow streets. >> how many people reached out? about this? roughly shannon do you rememberch dozens. and yes. tell me shotwelversus folsom as a starting point. why shotwelbeing further east. i was confused. east. yea. >> we wanted start because that's where the other swon and make sure well is the connectivity. are we worried about cars going around the traffic cones going down 20th while other cars going around. there is now a divider down

shotwelin the middle of the street. you can'ts drive through it. but if there is a slow street i'm @the big pret ponent of slow street. but this approximate i live at 20th and florida i worry about the 4 way slow strept in the dense car area. are we worried about like near misses or, the feedback i got it it is potentially make it more dangerous on this stretch >> that's a valid concern. the design for 20th this we are proposing at shotwelthere will not be dlin iators on 20th street. because if there were that would constrain the movements of sxrks set us up for not ideal conditions. at shotweland 20th we'll have the way finding signs to identify 20th as a slow street

and pavement markings. adding dliniators there would -- the way finding signs on the curb? or. >> yea. >> the ones visibility from the sidewalk. those are in shotwelcurrently >> and between the pavement >> yea. nothing in that will start on folsom? >> they will be today in the design and those are harrison, bryant and hampshire. >> okay. thank you. and then that's all. because it seemed i'm glad we made adjustments to make it safer. i will i don't think there is an opportunity. i want to bring it up now if we try to create this network in the super piecemeal fashion block by block every block will be creating work for you,

shannon. and also tell not inspire the kinds of -- will excitement they think we need to create the network. i in every bone this my body don't believe that this is the best path to getting to where i think a lot of us want to be. a new way to get around san flan. taking foreblocks of 20th and 3 block this is this street and having a knock down fight every time we want it, it might gits there in 5-7 years at what cost. i know i asked in december we see a fully connect network in protected bike lanes not because i'm a cyclist i want top see excite body get thanksgiving done and don't to fight for every piece of it. so i know we will not get in this meeting. brui would like to see a map of how we plan to make all of the

slow streets and protected lanes connect. and then take this vision and i'm not speaking this to you in any way. i could not i'm speak as a board member and my hope we take this and steal to the public. and sell it and get their feedback. oshg poedz to block by block i'm fine voting for this but to me is like we had tom fight f and go become thot drawing board. hear from everyone and business owners and residents. so it feels like really this is how we doll temperature every 3 blocks and i'd like to am i'm excited seat network so we can talk about that versus 4 blocks of upon 20th street. thank you. it it is in the our intention on do this block by block base.

the reason 20th cameum was going on removed testifies a covid responsive street and that program is sunsetting this winter. at this time is the first day of spring. that's reason for 20th coming back >> thank you, looking forward torthis doing this for you, shannon. >> thank you. . >> director cajina. i wanted to i'm okay with move thanksgiving but department to echo director approximate young teals comments about the piecemeal prop with the mission and neighborhood hood wide decision. one challenges that i'm seeing come up and again and again with different community members the out reach fatigue with the sheer initial projects we have in neighborhoods and lack of

coordination amongst different projects. i'm not saying this is what happened here. i wonder if we can start cordinating better when we create new projects in a neighborhoods that is seeing different project in that same neighborhood. it is manage that i will have occurrence b. i am encouraged by seeing the work that -- staff did for the portola. i theme is when we will aspire to do and seeing how it is connected to other project system key. just a comment. >> thank youch director cajina.

user of slow streets throughout the city. i live in district 8. and glad to see that 20th is coming back in the program i hope in addition to 22 and not in replace am of. i urge you to if possible extend 20th further west so it does not end at the t intersection of tw slow streets. i know a 4 way intersection of slow streets will be confusing but vital for other users.

having this work without gaps is the way this program can thrive and it would be better [inaudible] for long-term network planning. i appreciate the attention on that. it works better i think if you have a for you way intersection of slow streets you divert drivers away before they are cest like south van ness like a partial diverter and keep the 4 way intersection safer for other users. the other intersection you will make it more confusing for drivers a driver approaching from the west would be foremansed drive on the slow street no matter when they did this is unsafe. thank you very much and i hope you will consider that. next speaker, please.

include 25 million dollars worth of projects as well as a street scape concept. clear clear vast away of collaborators. through supervisor ronen's office and that of supervisor walton as well as cal-trans and array of agency and collaborators within the community. >> before we begin our work we started with interviews with 24 leaders in the communities in early 2021. and this was an attempt to understand what came before us within the community and how we couch our work and communication in out roach in ways with community members.

that means we needed to focus on displaying coordination with the array of projects on going as well as focusing how we leverage or projects to repair past harms and demonstrate accountability and action. . out reach process we did contracted partnerships with 2 occasions river life church, which serves the valley and sunnydale and family keksz centers in thes portollasm all project materialers available in 5 languages. english being chinese, spanish. filipino and vietnamese through a 3 phased process. we able to engage with 2600 residents and collecting upon 1500 surveys and comments. . in terms of our demographics for

out reach work it was important top have a representative voice within the community for when we heard we asked for demographic information. i think the compelling things is this almost 80% of survey from people of color. half of the responses from households earning left than 50 thousand dollars and 20% were filled nought a language other than english. during our first phase of out reach in november of 2022, 2021, long time. we first focussed on understand happening the priorities of the community at a high level through the responses we got during out reach a high priority for focus on pedestrian safety and access to transit. while park was low across the neighborhoods there were pockets of neighborhood in sunnydale and san bruno where parking was

higher. the other element was asking residents to oyst streets that were primarily in nev.ed focus for our work. this map shows the thick are lines representing more responses for given street and large are circles representing a more identified intersection we used the streets and intersections to directly inform the set of projects we developed for phase 2. this map shows the phase 2 projects we proposed bringing back to the communities the past summer part of that oust reach we were slititted the residence denials on the projects which a prefer exclude did not. trying to communal how they related to the priorities we heard during phase one. the out reach results of phase 2 majority support for every series of projects we proposed

but had higher support for some types than others. a set of final projects we brought in phase 3 this past winter along with the draft planful part of this phase we presented projects asking them to rank them for order of preference for implementingation so we ensure we are delivering the communities highest priorities. our draft plan publishod december second of last year. during our phase 3 we circulated with the public and brought plan throughout sfmta-cac we have the

final plan now on our website. >> the main primary difference in the final plan we were able to include the phase 3 results and the prioritization exercise this took place during phase 3. important elements to the work and the broad, way of projects on going in the communities is we need to do a good job of communicating when they and were how they worked with the projects we were proposing part of the plan it was important to demonstrate how the sum of the parts together would build upon each other and create a transportation outcome better then and there any of the individual parts. >> to very briefly go over our final project list we broke them up the port toll at projects boost most the rest that ranked highest were improve properties to access the farmer's market.

that northern end of sudden bruno able to make it accessible for pedestrians, bicyclists, improving light and a lot of interest in supporting the portola freeway green way and traffic calm and access to mc clarin park. in the valley some projects had high ranks and lower from others we have the series of 4-5 project this is all are in the running for top ranking. among those is a bike lane project on san bruno to connect the disconnected bike network. and raised midway crosswalks the green way is a linear park that crosses mid block location across 6 blocks. as well as improving the transit

access and confirm for sunnydale. a love of interest in the community act vatd this space and make it usable and programmable by the neighborhoods. this is a street on high injury network and serves 2 transit lines we wanted come up with concepts and ideas we share about when we can do to improve a lot of different challenges the street experience this is one include building a raised sidewalk shared use path on the north side. with potential for transit bulbs and crosswalk improvements the asset for this the ability to work weapon community members to

create public art opportunity or seating or other opportunity for public use in that space. we developed to other concepts on street bike way and path way through center of the median. a trailed be difficult on the blocks. and this is a concept we have been sharing since this past fall. there is interest and focus on safety. and further designs we do in coordination with the community especially in preparation for a grant application focus how we create a space residence denials will feel safe and program for place making. the final aspect of the plan are we call the policy recommendations all of the community based needs we want to

understands and lift out that are not directly impacted by our infrastructure investments. i think the leads speez we need to at any time partnerships and work with organizations to work with the communities. but we need a large focus on not just transit access but safety on transand i wait being for transit. typeset it is a large concern in the community. we need to because it is a multilingual neighborhood continue work in access and services. as well as. supporting alots of communities organizations that are leading their own projects for place make and improving their nashgdz and where we aline our project with their work, everyone wins. we are asking this board to pass a motion of adoption for this final floon meet our cal-trans grant. we secured 435 thousand dollars

of funding through supervisor walton's office and seeking additional through the 5ytp press and preparing outside for a grant application using the manzel street scape we feel confident we could put a successful upon grant together in 10 to 12 million dollars range. following that, we hope to initiate implementation. there is a project in the per teal for traffic calming going on the street this is summer. and so we are interested in continuing communication and collaboration with the community using that project to make sure we are moving the priorities forward. >> thank you. are is there questions on the presentation? director cajina. >> a comment. thank you for are modeling what community out reach looks like.

i think it it is the portola and viz valley are neighborhoodses that are i have verse in all aspects of the word, diverse. ir so appreciate how intentional the team was doing out reach and engagement in language and ensure you partner with folks in local organizations that could be a bridge with us and the communities. i just commends the team for the w they did. i then and there it is a lot of work to get this amount of feedback and the level buy in on the different projects and even priority iegz i have been part of similar project and know how opinioneated folks can be about the slightest thing. and it can be a long process. i appreciate just how quickly and you got this continue.

and how you did this hand in hand with community and you did share the power. i think i reflect on the board workshops and folks like malcolm and really seeing how you know our teams are making a dents in this. and make sure we are fostering healthy relationships with the community. upon this is the gold standard and i hope this we see more project this is have the level of detail and this engage the community in this way. and that have a comprehensive approach looking at all the other projects that are coming in the fold this may not be ours but the partners as mrchlt am often sometimes community members look at us as the city dp not our department you made those linkages with this mrvenlt kudos to you and the team. and excited approve this.

. will we are responsive to people stay gaps and nieced. and will then you all the board and commissions one thing we accomplished is crediting a dash board to show demographics the last 30 members. you have a small sample size of 7. groups of 10 at a time helps us monitor ash pointed by the mayor the transfer who have is in the space of this authority and power and phase 2 work we want to do that for other groups like the advisory council and other bodies. the great work the theme around plan and engage am who we listen to. that will is part of why we want top track sdmandz like in our workforce and will from that small sample we have seen a diverse rep centtation overwhelm the years the last thing will

come become to the board this year be rarely equity policy draft friday one action to credit a policy that centers decision make and prioritization. fits with planning work that will be coupled with racial impact assessments work to measure and establish standards for all decision. a lot of people have different perspectives of when equity sewe root it in racial and social justice and understand the types of equity for accessibility or folks ever different ages. upon gender and other identities as well and we will to the do it in a way that is building our culture and learning with trying to transform system. as we concloout clude the policy it would be fortunate have that approve anded introduce thats to key projects and we have been work to identify priority areas we understand that dozens of

decisions made an hour within the agency. hundreds in a day and a week. we will not immediately say that the racial impact assessment requirement will be mapod every project or every plan [speaking very fast] for the last past years you know doomentd our strategic plan we worked inlts great equity. feedback so our performance teep in the chief of staff office informed the sxraul creating internal values. you recall this equity is a bridge value a value for internal goals and external public safety goals that dual approach of work will continue as we work toward our phase 2 action plan coming to you

[inaudible]. a couple of update it is what to expect for the board and public who want to follow and be, wear of the progress. we will. have quarterly updates for racial equity action plan dash board that people can review. this month we have them every quarter following. il be here for quarter low updates not board and share am in addition to many accomplices we share with staff. there will beanual progress report do you to human right's commission but more paired down in may. the board will have a progress marktory track how we are doing on goalless. one thing we're excited in the next month we will have racial equity action plan work shops. of we'll convene in many leadses across hr [speaking fast] ensure that one we are upping the

action plans so it is a living document. and you read you think the action plan was done in 21 and there is more w to be done and,000 we will get to check box one item complete to 5 more items we need sustain in the system. right size our time line and mile stones and staff turn over. we are hopeful that the support us in messaging our key performance areas and progress to you and to our stake holders. wrapping up this befores there are several under any circumstances opportunity for the board to be engaged. first we have an event community connections a multilevel resource fair this will pair skilled building and input sessions when possible. sharing spaces for decisionmaking [speaking fast]. very broad audience a one stop

shop we offer to the public and staff. we alternate from staff focused events retention and promotion focussed to public events we'll recruit for folks that join and will be opportunities for engagement. we're looking forward to strong partnerships to maximize our reach in communities and support goal to center culture and attract more diverse audience. we will have events fourth fridays for staff to engage in the racial equity plan. they may be evaluate board and the public. that is the standing pace to be updated. the approval pedestrian racial policy and racial imppact assessments will be the most important actions for this board. [speak very fast] bridge value for our strategic plan and the

bridge actions for phase one and 2. we understand that much. your decisions shape public policy you are a part of our internal thaejs is a space for the standard and operational standards of centering racial equity in the decision make. we have a sue other not relate to the phase one am. the office of racial equity part inning for the safety equity initialive. focussed on safety. engagement. out roach and public information and culture engaging women, men. folks of nonupon binary or transidentity and what it takes to reduce harm from gender based vinyls. update the critical issue for many using our system. and the last thing is we have a lot of work around hiring, out reach that is the most consistent needs we have been

happy to support the workforce team and hr hiring efforts. look forward to the map again responding of where we have the workforce with more strategies to get to different networks and supporting the great w they do. and you know we have racial equity fleet witness an among we'll invite you out. exhibitses on our historic monunanimous people learn about racial equity and he transit and mobility justice. and the last thing staffing since you saw me last we had several new staff join all in the room here. i'm excited be joined by many staff office of racialing equity and belong echo gratitude for support of our team in the season many equity scombj staff are eliminated. you will see staff more upon often in many spaces and look

forward to amplifying our roach with the 4 sections of our work. i will stop to see if there are questions. thank you. >> thank you very much. i like to prioritize director cajina she will step away soon. if thank you for this presentation and for all the hard work and the team have done. this work is not easy. by no means it is so multifacetted with our agency we have touch points that -- are really crying for us to approve. and our external reach has many compoenltss and internal. i know a lot of work that you and your team are trying to work on is how to operationalize. equity solutions, right?

and so fingerprint to make sure you have time to talk about this more and how we are operationalizing a lot of the solutions that you have been able to have from the surveys and growth you are seeing we have, how is that operationalized specifically, i think and -- testimony is great to know you have staff to support you. i will say that. and i see the staff is internal this is grit to see as well internal hires. but on the service system's piece. were community trust is a thing the board is passionate about and something that i would love to see how we are creating a strategy around that. that includes folks from our communication division and from the street's disxrigz all the different divisions zee that

have the touch points. this is so essential for you to dot work. and efficient low because how i can't count the number of times we had to redo engagement efforts we did not get it right the first time a lot of that can be traceod who is lead thanksgiving effort. is it member this understands the upon community? somebody who staffed that understandses the nuances of the community. that others may not. and one model that i think about is the community equity division in the planning d. i see and i heard from community things i never thought i would hear 5 years ago i'm hearing nouchl community in meetings say we should call want community equity division at plan to help us id the issue we are having.

i would love for you to get to that point with the community and that relationship. we're able to pull out a team and imagine what it means to have racial equity in subject matter expert in plan exerts engineers. and will with that will means we are in a space where the w this we want to do and bring involved clan ragsz we compliment the functions.

first hiring work or out reach be set being goals. identifying gaps over time and racial equity standards and monitoring that that is where we have an operational function how do we integrate it to common practice (ing that it is a process r. i say with hiring there are several steps and i will invite kim to share more later as well we have our meeting but we know at different phases of hiring [inaudible]. there may be an opportunity to recruit more audience. long the way we want strong oversights and discrimination in hiring manages. a lot of the key actions are about when is it i deal to support. community connections we have collaboration with hr. when it come to communicate being a lot is behind the

scenes. executive and senior management not average person hiring. a sfopt hr they are not having time to the where if it it is standards understanding the gaps and out reach requirement. marketsingly the agency employer choice we understand demographic fwaps that work has been done before now we have an enhanced staff capacity to do that. the other part is capitol victim

for out reach. we need general strategies for reaching native folks weather for pipeline or hiring, public out reach. we are globalally and increase that trust and reps and mapping that on to different projects. i'm glaud brought up planning. we are excited our new director worked on the team as well across the estate human right's commission convenes the leads. there is a lot of plan and mta share when we can as colleagues best practice. just to be sure trace i listen is here who worked on the portola plan. planning is a partner we conversation. i start had with folks. in short, we know that there are

many projects. some are established. somewhere nuchlt some reindividual. part is understanding where you have opportunity and prioritization. a big thing for the assessment formalize that more. we will set standards for out reach any decision making and data collections way we apply that will vary require partnership from construction and transits operations. that's a long way of saying depends on the project we had a lot of great starts. people ever eager to collaborate.

>> co2 suggestions that would help us how project this is come are taxling the goals. bake that in to staff report and making it within the report there is is a consideration we are looking at as we review projects. i think this is essential. another thing that every project has is a public out reach plan. i think crediting standards of what quality public out reach plan should look like will provide guidance for staff to understand, this is what the [inaudible] what i should be howir should draft in this neighborhood. there is a lot of creative freedom you can have with how you intercept when a good plan is. so those are 2 ways you can operationalize the goals we

have. i would say that you know we made a very specific investment in the communication department last year in the budget and it is so essential for us to as we see those staff positions materialize that they are draegsz the equity concerns we know we have. out reach engagement, my hope is you are work, this is an opportunity to make sure we hire the right folks. i hope that this division and yours are collaborating. because that is such a key place where we need to make sure we make an upon dent on the work. and these are things that are happening now. i hope the team is ready. you know like we often get tough

decisions this come and the staff reports are am key for us to understand the different considerations this we should take in account before we make the decisions and equity needs to be one we are considering. >> excellent. thank you. >> thank you. director yekutiel. >> would be may be the wrong avenue if if it is tell meechlt and i will schedule -- you are here i feel like we receive, your people use equity as a reason to slow down the work of the agency and argue against the w we are doing to make it safer for formsful transportation other than driving and saying that is like not equal or equity if we cared we would not make it heard for drivers. what would your advice to be

this board and how we think about equity relating to car ownership and driving? today we heard from folk in soma removal of slow streets upon means you did not use equity framework. us being antipoor and antifolks of color. the work you mentioned is focusd and makes sense. when we row on is external work. the second piece when i gone around and visited different i taking on a lot of tours and different facilities and speak to employees sometimes they indicate there are issues in the department. i wish could have a 3 point plan

of what you are doing or when we are doing to address them. seems like amazing processes. i will be hum knell add nit a member said i feel like i'm treated unfairly and would not tell them had we are doing to address that. tell me the 3 top things we do to address equity concerns that will be helpful. >> i want to slide i have virginia on the lean and kim in the room. i will invite them to chime informil start with the first. my advice we want to have check list and compliance tools and

important to mote that it is not new. way people come to the conversation will be different temperature it is i think there is i guess a caution that there may be a lot of perspectives what is equity and he you have to prioritize. the goals are very much about -- combating racism. and you know there is the challenge of who has you neverment to disregard citizens and stake holders there will be people not coming to the space. the challenging encouraging the

staff and also to do more is helpful. i think when it come to different types of mode choichls do people want to catch their bus on time? we try to center centering those the most and folks least like low to have impact and those harmed the longest and have different innersexting types of harm. tell look different and, lot of people will have same experience. other part of the decisionmaking which is helpful. generally, i say challenging like are we going on like define the advocates or being expectancyive to everyone impacted by this decision may

include people outside of the city. being trans parent [inaudible] those start there and i look forward to working with many staff leading the different yours around that question of prioritization. how we fund or which projects we decide to go forward with. sometimes has to be the tough decisions to decide. >> quick on this. grown this is a press we have the i don'ts have the ability to impelement i think helpful to have you or someone from staff in the wloom we make the tough calless we sometimes heart same but opposite sides. grit we have this team if we have a hearing on something complex to be able to ask you to your perspective from an equity lens. i understand the reports but given we have this would be

helpful to me. is this helpful. why i think there men case but to stefani cajina's point. it has not changed in i very long time and probably warranted a refresh. want to near a future meeting the content most useful to make tough policy decisions and in addition what other presentation content would you like in order to help make the tough calls. that is not on the agenda today but encourage to you been that and we could have that a

discussion item in a future board meeting. >> will the second question. we have 3 arms opbussed office the lowest level complaints. mediation and support service there lead by tony bachlths a great resource support people this exploring options. i recommend the current feel they responsiblesed discrimination come not sure if they want to file a complaint the office is grit to starred. with that people feel they have been discriminated against. [inaudible] eeo is another sxopgz hr our employee labor religion's team. but our opbussed office is a triage and has own list of resource to support staff who experienced harm in the work

place. as far as the goals in the next year is there anyone on the line or kim? did you want to speak to any of that. we have virginia harmon virtual. >> what the board should know where to refer people you want to add-on? i don't see them unmuting that is -- there we go. sorry i'm having difficulty and trying to get the video. i'm tone >> latoya: toy sfmta we created

a work flow and regards to [inaudible] contract [inaudible] the complaint process. regarding if well is a complaint. . [inaudible] the fercs o complaint or a category of eor conduct, or if it meant opportunity for [inaudible]. and through that assessment and able to see what is in the midst of the conflict. it is something thatments involvement our partner with sfmta and virginia harmon, [inaudible] hr [inaudible] there is additional [inaudible] if it it is a mediated opportunity

engage the employees arnold the process and then they follow to resolution and something to be referred or complaints are better dealt with in the union, and therefore to follow in in regards to what resolution ends up happening. as as a result of being centralized, we were able to bring down complaints by 30%. and i shared. . memo in the fall that went in details about the process and also in first year actual out come we were able to produce. thank you. >> thank you.

anymoring comments from board members. i would like to raise one theme. congratulations on hiring. it excite to seat chart with the members and their teams. and my question is around how the members of your team interface with the other staff at sfmta who have portfolio and jurisdiction. that feels like the essence of our sense or challenge the decisionmaking for different work strolls and director cajina's points how we structure engagement. you could talk about this forever but i do want to independent everunderstand how your team is connected with the other parts of agency.

jobs duplicating efforts for the things that involve engagement i coordinated and tom and his team around planning the out reach functions, lot of the workforce and work place i was w with kim and virginia and tony. [inaudible] a lot is part of the first making the jobs. now a phase to life. i say it happens with general locality project deliver as we get to project its make its easy to see should hr lead that or [inaudible]. i will say a lot of the work remains to be done. we are theme have people power export to be effective. understand the return on investing. a lot has been with taking the lead from other teams. so the public out reach team have an idea where they feel

strong. and also i think standards around racial equity opportunity to reflect and where we improve. if it was like a basketball team. you have 6 player. add more support. a lot is around ensuring if there is a process or permanent function we amplify that and offer our support of we will be doing upon different functions around out roach and a collective. we are better at engaging black and lettin folks and include different partners who have shared goals. [speak very fast]. everyone who can be close to that work consulted before jobs create. input and this we were filling a gap in a special focus on racial equity.

mix of monitoring had we are doing who we are reaching and who we are not and goal setting that is general low the trends for every w function like out roach or recruitment. >> great. i wonder in the next couple quarterly updates this feels so important, your team brought in are they consulted? co deciders or cocreating? what is their role.

the a future meeting share examples of where it is working well and challenge and recommendations continuing to make sure your team has the authority in the average they need. >> thank you. open up for public comment in the room on racial equity plan update. can you open the snowboard moving to remote public comment not to exceed 10 minutes members wish to comment dial star 3 youville 2 minutes. give it a moment. no speakers in the queue. >> no speakers! okay. well, that just speaks to how thorough your presentation was. thank you for lead thanksgiving critical work. that will close public comment and move on to item 13. >> item 13 adopting the climate road map for healthier san francisco priority actions for

the sfmta to help meet the city's net zero goal by 2040 and moat mode share goal by 2040 >> i'm planning director i will do an introduction in the climate road sxhap i will hand it over to darryl of the transportation planner. it is interesting to be doing a presentation on the climate road map we are listening to impacts of it. the climate change upon the terminology is something we have been talking about now we changing the terminology. the climate crisis. climate emergency. this monday there was a gentlemanal panel on climate change with the un that came out and this we are at another critical point with the paris climate agreement. talked about error careful level 1. 5 degrees celsius if we meet

this level free industrialization and 2010 that would tell us where we are and that tipping point. we are about to they in early 2030s. the point we are at now is another moment take more action to make sure we reduce these fuels and stemming that temperature increase. so shalling of course as a transportation agency in san francisco this is the front of the w we do and has been done for a language time and sfmta a climate leader for a language time and the greenest fleets. but we are in san francisco prosecute at a moment of reckoning with a variety of other things. swon as director tumlin mentioned, the housing element asks for 82,000 more unit in san francisco the next 8 years

adding more resident and keeping the residence didn'tses we have and reducing displacement means we will have fewer regional trips which is good this it is an action it means we are like low to have local trips. we will have more trips in the city and have to make sure they will be safe for the city and climate. we are manage a long over due reckoning around racial injustice. how we take actions from this point with climate goals we need to make sure environmental justice is the center. framework was passed by plan and that is in pregnancy to state mandates and our new climate the environmental justice element. an element in the general plan and then we have to manage most dramatically the mitigating affects of am when we

experienced with the crisis. for mta resilience with assets in the southeast part of the city and prepared to keep our transportation system work. we are dealing with the affects. one more piece san francisco is dealing with and mta the fiscal cliff you spoke to in your board workshop inspect approximate financial as we take actions we are look athall of the 4 consideration, rather than thinking of this as a report think of it as a work plan building on had we already do. when you hear you was talking you know the next hearing we'll have a discussion of the communities plan we talk about transportation demand management and transit improvement and state of good repair they are built together in a work plan

for the planning subdivision how we address climate change. we'll bolled when we do but emphasizing that the work neateds to be centered on the communities most have been harmed or at risk. make sure that actions come out are fiscally responsible and contributory. we increase urgency of the moments so we recognize the points we are in. 10 years of the moment that is nothing on the scale of of the way we build cities. this has to happen now. and i think because it felt like a deep crisis we have to be optimistic we can do this. we have this approximate all the pieces working together and it puts together a picture that is in the nature of when san franciscoments to be the director said more housing and affordable housing along the

transit corridors with more safe walk, roll and bike infrastructure. helps people to be closer to the things they dmeed give our transit more resources to be safe, reliable and freak went. supports us being together and neighborhood businesses. they all go together. darryl has presents today at the board before but not in person of the he has been a planner currently in the long range planning team. but has been at sfmta for 6 years you may have seen him remote. with the 2021 capitol planful darryl? this evening hello directors will we near a climate crisis

the city has done a lot our data hes we are not doing enoughy will present on the climate road map of priority actions for the sfmta to meet the net zero goal by 20 de feoed and mote share goal by 2030 and racial equity competence public health. staff recommend the mta adopts this road map. il talk about purpose and goal and progress the process we took and the climate road map strategies. evaluation, funding needs and recommendations. the climate road map supports the mta's vision the city is diverse connected by safe and affordable transportation for all this decision is linked to the city's climate goals. now the charter machine days

issued a strategy every 2 years the board supervisors declared a claimant emergency call further steel to do everything to reduce green house e missions. the mayor released the climate action compla sudden this road map. [inaudible]. climate action flan was released left year to advance actions from the action plan. >> this is realize in the the following mobility goals the goal is laid out in chapter line of the environment goat. net zer over by 2040. transportation had is equal to getting 400,000 gas powder cars off the road there is are 2 goals. first is mode shipment 80% of trips low carbon by 2030. that is transis, walk and bike.

plus vehicles with 2 or more and electric vehicles. trip this is require a vehicle our electrification goal. at 44%. grown house gas e missions 2 thirds from car and trucks and titail manages transportation it plays a role in the fight. our reduction and green house gas e missions is not taking pace. the over all e missions gone down by 41% since 90 annual e missions from car and trucks down by 26%.

we cathed that if we were to continue the bye-byes as rush since 1990 we would not meet our goals until 2080, 40 years too late. most trips by driving gas car with one or 2 people. you know, 2017 city reach aid mode share of 58% of walk and bike. in the pandemic people changed behavior and data from 2021 shows that more people are driving acomploen fewer are taking transit. in that two-year period from 20 upon 19 to 21 driving alone went from therein % to 36% and transit mode share down from 22% to 11%. 50% decrease all while the total number of trips stayed the same.

and electric vehicles side. registrations are still low but rising. about 3% in 2021. but in the left 2 years the latest data shows that new registration increases to 26% of all new vehicle sales likely push thanksgiving higher. why does this merit? the way we travel criminalities to climb change the negative impacts felt by communities of color and are have to decarbonizes that in a way that advances racial equity. and many people will have a cultural preference for car the shift the city needs to get residents using low carbon modes will not be easy. san francisco designed around car travel inform california cars are in the culture. san francisco planning construct more housing for the housing

crisis protect our air and help our street when is we add more housing we can'ts add more cars. additionally, nerve san francisco not everyone has the ability to leave the personal vehicles entirely. some with disabilities, older adult and people with travel needs with sxhrn goods will need cars for some trips. we need to prioritize those with needs for cars. as we plan for growth and tackle the crisis we need more taking approximate transis, walking, rolling, electric vehicles and vehicles with 3 or more people of how low carbon options encourage ways to use and ask others to pay more fair low for their impact. climate action generates community benefits.

when we tackle climate change we need to factor in racial equity. air quality. public health. safety economic vitality and travel sprjs. first and foremost actions to reduce the crisis must advance racial equity by approximate repairing harms. and that you will is not to say we are not doing to combat the crisis the sfmta is a leader. we have didn't great things that shift to lower carbon modes. slow streets. transit and parking pilot but we need to do more. and this it is where the road map come n. took actions from the climate action plan and engage with stake holders to come with strategies and actions for the road match a consultant quantityified green e mission reductions for each using data from the california air

pollution control association and travel demand model to inform our ajs. developed i framework measuring the cost president with the sfmta have yous and developed our findings and recommendation. updated key stake hold and incorporated them in the climate road map we plan to incorporate in plan and improvement program i will show in the next slides. these are designed to increase travel option and shift to low carbon modes. include all aspects from transit, transportation, transportation demand management, p reform. electric vehicles and commune engage am the strategies work together to make travel the preferred option. am in addition, we will developed practice intgreat in the titail practice. it produce burdens for

communities of color. increase and increase opportunities for communities of color and others who is have responsiblesed oppression. which will be further developed in the sfmta equity impact assessments and phase 2 of the action plan. now i gallon through the 6 strategies. it is first is expand program its communities this trips transis, wuk and bicycle. the community benefit's program to cover more trips. transportation demand mmth, strategy is modium costment prosecute voids lower community beg your pardon and reduce about 5 huh thunld metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. the next can create a complete active transportation network attracted to all demographics from automobiles to active modes.

of this includes expanding bike park. e bike subsidy. developing mobility hubs places where people access options and expanding the bicycle network. the active strategy medium will cost and reduce about 5,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. the next is conduct impactful community engagement and transportation plans to ensure climate actions are addressing needs. we do this through transportation planning, out reach and education which are in addition to the other if 5 strategies. community engamentment low cost and reduce 12 thnltd metric of carbon dioxide per year and adoption of zero e mission vehicles and electric options. motor use is necessary.

this includes ev charging stations in lots, garages and curbs. where people don't have dedicated p. this does in the include the option that the sfmta does not manage like private lots, resident and commercial building. electrification is low cost. provides medium benefits and can reduce about 37,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. a faster transit system. this includes major capitol projects improving the bus system through muni forward and making transfers between system faster and cheaper. transit strategy is highway cost. provides high community benefits can reduce 40,000 metric tons per year.

the most impactful is manager ping resources fortunate low to charge the right price for every space funds transit prescriptions and supporting people with fewer options. we do this by increasing the initial paid parking spaces and increase the times. the park strategy generates net ref now, provides high community benefits and reduce about 69,000 metric tons per year. in sum row the annual effectiveness by strategy by 20 confucianism seat 2 big of the are transit and parking. this makes sense as they other 2 bandwidth this sfmta has. electrification is huge. but because the strategy focuses on public e very close charging stationos sfmta property does not capture electrifying the entire transportation system. one lesson suspect we can't do

some of the actions we must do it all. you can't build it and expect people to come. you have to make it better to get the fuel action benefits. i will walk through our evaluation. the climate road map gets close to transportation e mission goals bypass 2040 in dark blue we don't get there unless we seat fuel efficiency at federal and state levels and other plans and promise like implementing the housing element and congest 1 price figure all that happens the road map help reduce ground transportation green house e missions by approximately 26% from 90 levels to 77% from 1990 levels boy 2040. which is close to our goal. on the mode share side the road map gets close to the mode share

goal by 20 thirst. factor in federal and state fuel efficiency tarrant county, texas and plan and programs we go from 50% mode share to a 65% low carbon mode share in 2030. this road map gets close to our goal. we don't get to the goal until a future years after the goal year. most of this will represent of the preferred moesd of transit, walk and biking enemy lighter green. and the remaining represents other low carbon modes of vehicles with 3 or more vehicle s and. represent in the dark green. san francisco would need an approach of bold policies and investments that generate community benefits to close that remaining gapful we then and there decision makers enough make hard trade offs to illustrate these we analyzed the

road map inspect 3 packages. a pap to the pack onlying on actions that require mostly capitol like expanding active transportation. a program intensive package on low are cost programs likerousing park. and everything package all the actions and increaseless the scale of the parking reformless. for each we create an evaluation frame cork comparing e missions and mode share and cost effectiveness and the community benefits to cross the 3 investment packageless. over all, an approach of all ookzs on capitol and programs to get to the climate and mobility goals start with the most cost effective advocating for funds need to implement all action unless the long-term. you can find more burden of proof this evaluation of the

package in our report. to put it together we analyzed the cost effectiveness and community benefit and potential for e mission reduction. on the chart the further right the action is the more revenue of green house is reduces the further left [inaudible]. actions that can be done on a low cost with a higher potential for reduction in grown house e missions have the highest cost effectiveness like the parking actionless not voenl high potential for reducing green house and the benefit generating revenue. prospect vied community benefits beyond e missions on the y axis the higher up the action is the miles an hour community upon benefits it provides. actions that are less cost effective at green house gas e

missions will not as cost effective have high po fish for emission resdpukz provide many community benefits this is in the report. and how much is this going cost? the cost of implementing all the next 27 years through 2050 would be 24.4 billion in today's dollars. this is far beyond the capitol budget for existing climate actions and require funding for all levels of government of the fortunately, much. our existing 5 year improvement program covers the costs we are already doing forward the climate road map and the action plan. approximately 2. 6 opinion of 5 year c ip of that, about 2.2 billion toward climate actions. with 400 million of it going to things that don't support

climate action. if we were to funds our upon cim at the levels every 5 years wield stril 1. 8 billion dollars of unmet funds needs every fooim 5 year or 11 billion dollars short through 2050. most of this need is reflected in our 20 year plan and our sfmta transportation 2050 forecast with new actions not in either of the documents. to get to the net zero emission goals by 2040 make low carbon tramp the preferred option through a cost effective approach in transit and active transportation engage with community, developing program this is incentivize this and electrifying trips that require a vehicle and reducing park

subsidies bibetter managing p. i have presented on the background. goals, progress forward goalless the press we took are the climate road map strategies, evaluation and whattor funding needs are. because the it shows we need do toefrg get close to goals but we acknowledge resources are limited staff recommend in the near term through 2030 the sfmta funds the road map action in the upcoming c ip with focus on increasing sfmta work in priority actions such as charge the right prays for on street parking spaces and expanding easy charging stationos city property. why? no single action has a greater impact on rusing e missions than gradually charging the right price for each park space then revenue guess back to transit. and public low accessibility

electric vehicle charging stations and a cost effective way to bring down e missions. the action in the climate am road map when combined with other plan and programs upon like impleth the housing element and congest whereon pricing essential to reach the e migsz's goal by 2040 and mode share goal by 2030. i will take questions and i have tom and tim to help answer y. thank you for your presentation. director heminger. thick bit thought you would get through a meeting without me taushg being this one is irresistible. i had a couple of comments but first a question. that it is i had a hard time

swallowing a few of the results of the estimated reduction in green house gas e missions. you had a couple at the gipping that were mall amounts for tdm and i agree with this i'm not sure that should be small they may be should be zero. but then there was one this was better than either one of those which is public out reach. i don't see how talking to people can get you any green house gas reductions. yea we model today on community based transportation plans the idea is community based transportation plans are low cost. so you can implement them sooner and therefore shift more people out of cars to the low carbon modes. the other thing sucan get community buy in when there is

buy in to community transportation plans then they are like low to mode shift. >> that is a nice drive. this is a bit of a stretch to me and i will get into in a second the bigger game that you got which is electrification and parking. approximately i'm glad that jeff brought up the anniversary of transit first policy. but i think we have and look it deserves the words we hear borrow it. it was grounds breaking ats the time. but the way we responded to it is largely through a series of incentives to00 transit. and inupon sebltives alone don't get much done in my opinion.

and in this case, you know per capita ridership since this policy was implemented dropped like a rock. so i think we need it acknowledge that its very difficult to move people between one mode and another. simple low by encouraging them to use the one you want them to. you need to couple that with a noose discourages autouchz and that is twhon we have been shy about deploying in the united states. so, i do think that over all other thanninging should guide our am approach here because. it is not like we are new to this game. we have been pursuing many for other reasons not for climate reasons. pursuing them for a long time

and i think that we have been doing it long enough we should know this some of them have a greater chance of success and theed 1 this is have a chance some of them you know, if you pursue them you will get what you want but have to go through an army of dragons to get there. so -- in terms of transit use and the like, i think this there are lots of reasons to invest in the transit system we have. i'm not sure climate is one of them. and i think when we should to and what you indicate here with electrification is go straight to the source. san francisco is positioned in the united states to have a transit is thats draws power from a hydro electric facility. the clonest kinds of energy you

can gechlt you know there are system in the east coach that are running on coal. you know you are bear low getting ahead when you have that source of power for the system you run. upon given the city's rable position there, and i think this hen a policy with the trolley fleet as well, is we should take advantage of the power system we own and try to shift as many people out of cars into ev's. and that would be an excellent place for incentives because we need to get people to move. but we also need to acknowledge that when we do get folks to move to transit, and they are

leaving their car the car they are leaving is getting clean and cleaner every year. in terms behalf is sold. to the public. and emgiven the fact it it is cleaner and cloner you have toy squeeze harder this, too. there is a return you have a float that is -- upon department on those duksz you will not get them as you used to when we started this idea. in 1970 so -- in dam chair i

wanted to put this on the table because i think to some extent we have taken a suite of strategies invented for another purpose and tried to force march them in the debate. i said earlier. we are going to have a diminished if we have a success in moving folks to mule moesd we will have a diminishing result because the cleaner the fleet gets the tougher to squeeze e mission reduction out. that is the simplest way i could will put it. i don't i'm raising i know broad and general criticism of this will report and may be we are at a point we need to approve it and move on. i think we are falling a bit shy

on this work and obviously the subject matter depends on us not falling short at all. so new thinking on how we could hasten the electrification of the fleet including our own. people don't like over head woirs that is as clean a transit option you can find. thank you for the sdpiem letting me drone a bit >> thank you director heminger and director hinze is next i would love to ask to share thoughts in response regarding

the percentage of all ev's in today and current prosecute jections and how you respond to director heminger's comments. iot electric sifkz a huge part of the strategy i mentioned i don't know if you can show the slides. i the go back to the mode share slide. this slide on the right shows how the proportion of transportation e missions from that chart around 2 thirds of this over 2 thirds are from car and truck and a percent from public transit employed yes, this is following the regulations to electrify our transit float. bigger persian is the car and trucks. society objective is to electrify those. sfmta has never been a fuel provider before it has some

electric have been charging station in the goage in a few lots but we need to expand temperature the recommendation of this report is to expand our role in electric fighting public low accessible electric vehicle charging stagsz i see jeff. du want to say anything? if i can put another thing on the table. i know i gave you a hard time buoy want to give you a compliment. the emphasis you do on parking reform is a great idea that is in part what i was talking about when i said you need to pair insivents with disincentives for autouse. that sell a good accomplice to start. can you run me throughout quick assumption that was generating that large number of e mission reduction?

what were you dog to the park >> for park. the park strategy about am charging the right price what did you asuit right price >> we don't the demand [inaudible] every process we want to reduce the demand of the quote an ordinary or average or typical motor i felt would pay merchandise we have not calculated that yet >> later >> thank you. director be hinze. >> yes, thank you for your presentation. we chatted months ago on in. i will [inaudible] president

investment packages my comment was similar to director tumlin's suggestion. . around the last item of racial equity and he incorporate thanksgiving in the staff report. using this report as a base for our [inaudible] until we see what our [inaudible] is on this particular area of climate, i think a good thing to do on the whole [inaudible] [muffles, echo] the board cease the big picture. i think may be figure out how to

incorporate some of the basic level of the report and the package in our staff report would be a good idea. so we can look at everything. ir do agree with director hem sdwroer an extent we should may be look innerattorney low doing when we can to electrify our further bring our own float i know we have one of the greenest floats in the country and trying various electric bus. and i have been the potrero yard will have -- for [inaudible].

i do agree with director yekutiel. >> thank you i want to condition seems there is a tension 20 the need to engage the communities and a thorough process and to implement these measures. it is kind of may be ironic that we are debaited thanksgiving in a midst of a cyclone hitting the

city and trees are falling all overnight streets that should not be falling. on one hand i'm hearing we need to move quickly and do your words were, transformtive approach and bold policies and i'm told habefore we can present a plan on how to connect an active transportation bike way we need go to community for yeeshs to see what they want. so i guess i wonder and i guess i continue is controversial it bring thisum. it seems that there is a tension between having community in to with us when they want to see as ideas. take parking reform we could spend tw decades going to community and would not want us to dot things we want to do with parking reform to address these things and need to take, prop in bold policies. when i would like to see instead

climate action plan is i think the space to change the way we implement the strajs theory necessary on streets to meet the moment of the we did it during covid. we were faced with an emergency and crisis and needed to rethink how we use our streets. we are told that there their is a climate crisis approximate need to be bold. the question i have as the architects of this, where does this fit with when we hear from community to slow down? what we hear from neighborhoods to do more work to see what they want? the felon viz valley was -- but started 2-3 year ago i wonder how many would be different today because of it. it seems like a tension but may be correct me if i'm wrong.

if not how do you think we have both of the 2 thing sns you are right. i'm going to defer to yes. will am mia snaul. i think that in some ways we look deeply what the nature of working with communities means. one of the most powerful projects i worked on took 6 weeks with item an town they lead an action. they want today put in something before law would come in place work the with the communities in 6 weeks we did design guidelines. couple dozen folks come here. had people crying in doomth design guide lines something no one thought possible and because it was from their heart and the spirit of the history of the place and rekt fiek something they seen as harm that had been done for generations. i think there xrsh are various

ways to do out reach. a scale of community lead to hay here they are where do you want them that it is a difficult challenge with an agency as big as mta every day delivers transit, streets and safety that tension if we get to the deep are trust building takes working with people, leaders and people on the grounds you go and speak to people before their projects and you learn about the neighborhood from them they other 1 who is understand it better when we get to the play-offs keep deep are understanding and recognize the harms done in history and rectify them in a way they given us testimony whereof we upon understand it. we can look at data and out come. then when we bring projects forward they pass fast and go through we are bodiesing a better plan and we will see the bike lanes don'ts have conflictless on the street.

we'll see that people are novelty struggling with things we have done and come back and pull it out again. that work takes time but it it is deeply worth it and makes things go more quickly. >> that's my hope. you other perfect fortunate talk about i'm glad youor team. where do you think our department should be between having the plans community or. based. >> versus our department with the staff come with idea and ws with them to make sure it is the right plan. relate to when we are talking about the bold policies park reform. be transportation. . where do you think we should be? one of the first things we need to do is looking at the communities that have been at risk and harmed and focusing cans tragz you will seat community plans coming forward

in april there are specific community based organization work. we have to negotiate the day to dame there is no easy solution. but we can make sure that information is flowing. i think we will struggle with

the decisionmaking in ways unless we understand the neighborhood. we have to do both and xhoukt to make it is best decisions. this is for you all to make those decision. provide that information to be able to reconcile the 1 to 1 until the work is done. the planning department has been doing this work through the equity division the last 3 dwleers has been transformtive in the way communities let city talk to through projects. i think that laid grounds work. e missionful another community process this ground our work in the mission i'm having conversation with folks. i think we need it build on those efforts the housing element did that reached voices that never reached before with american indian and black

community. you don't want to take too much time there are a lot of mindses in this way you laid it out. because for one i seen sitting from here on the grand podium there are many whether they are self appointed or appointed boy a small group come to us as community. are sometimes they live ablockasm way both arrangementing community and oppositional views. we have the easy thing we have clear goals. things we need to mrifrnl we are make sure people don't die in the street and produce e migsz it is hard and to understand had community want and then also make sure we have done everything right to out reach. one of the first meetings i

attends as a small business owner a community forum on the updates of the city and street's project for 22 bus line. we had police officers to break up fights. had people pulling their hair out screaming. how could you do this. you are destroying our community you are not lynch to us this was the feedback mta staff got on a project that needed to happen for folks take the trin and climate mcgonigle and when we need toad get people across the city if we were listen to community we would not have done the project than i think is really necessary for you to hit goals. i worry if we are realistic when our agency nodeses to do to accomplish. accomplish sometimes we will not listen to community or bring them in the process and may be

i'm being00 unnecessarily strict about this. i look at when we needed to do to rise to the occasion we did not have time to engage with community in every project and the things i believe that folks will not want us to dom parking reform. turning every pot to metered spots or hundreds of dollars a mont. i think we should do it but we can't wait for a community to get behind us i wonder this is the plan. flexibility and realism for the things we may need to use different presses. the 2 will make it impossible one will mech it impossible to reach the other. this is my fear.

>> there are trade offs have you to make. and i think the only council nel this process i would forward is really just the tightening and control and increasing control and tightening the number of people making decision leads to more voices being frustrated and not listened then causes delay. it feels scare tow do this. with decrease resources to let go and provide more santa fes for power sharing and the difference in the voice. in some case people are voicing pregnancy or feelings and experience of communities and it is speaking for a variety of upon experience of community versus their individual interests. this is heard it differentate.

i don't mean somebody who represent a community. may be everybody who come forward with something they are concern body has a reason why. it is up to the board to ajust and understand who is speaking in their interests and come from a place of privilege and speaking for history of harm communities of color, low income communities. communes with lbgtq+. there are other veriations. seniors. we need to make sour they are at the center. this is a thing navigated every dame the more we do that deeper work the easier the things become on the other side. time is relative and say when you are that sense of we will do out roach and afraid and tell be intluptive i think this when it come down the projects we do, too fast and don't do out reach take longer or disrupted later

or make otherers things not work this is heard to rescue sthiel is daily sprjs. i believe in long range planning. >> okay. i will end this saying i respectfully disagree. and that's okay. >> yea. >> and welcome to the agency. [laughter]. >> thank you. reminds us we are on the topic of climate road map the things you are raising a fundament potential out reach and community engagement and move fast to reach goals that is an important conversation. i'm hoping victoria will bring back the recommendations coming out of this february 7 workshop bolleding community trust that will be a time to have more discussion on this personal topic and directorments to get in on this. >> yes , i will pick up the baton. i will actual upon one thing

this was a lesson for me in the pandemic is that we came up with 20 ways to do a pilot project. we turned the project to the out roach and engagement forum. and -- my i think you said the term you in evolved from climate change to climate crisis. if it is a crisis we should tree it like one. and just as we treated the pandemic like a crisis because it was one. and the advantage i think we have is this not all buff approximate many of the were strategy this is we need to implement are policy related or rather reversible. we can try them and change them and either continue them or end them. and if we can get to a place

with the public where we can talk them into reserve judgment. we can debate whether this new policy produce aor b. let's stop argue. try it for sick months see whether it is a or b or may be c. and i if do think we should learn it lesson. and i think we got, way with a rable amount of innovation. i have not heard a lot of buyer's remorse. now folks come in every meeting saying i want to be slow street, tooch so -- we got new customers for the new strategies and i just think we got may be more room then and there we thought we had. or think we have. to experiment with the public. there will befect when is don'ts want to hear what you have to say and it is hell no. what don't you understand about

that. of there are enough folks that if we talk about something this is term limited and revisit the decision and deep 6 the project if it does not work out, i think we change the ground of the debate. gekt back to the climate plan itself will given park action i want to follow up on director heminger line of question the parking impact is one of top 2 recommendations to what to move forward you can't tell us specifics but we are interested in how our work can help you and the mta and the city achieve our climate targets. sudden front should be a climate leader for the world. how can we take the specifics of

the analysis that you put forward and turn those to actions that this board can take if we don't have the specifics visible? >> this is our road map them is not final implement strategy what this plan does is queues up the next set of prioritieds for action items we will take to the board over the coming 2 years. we are expecting to bring to you several significant itemless in the coming months. for example change in parking policy. expansion of transit only lane and street network. the active communities strategy. we were grateful that this plan validated most of our existing priorities but it it is also causing us to shift emphasis and in schedule. it is also of course, i think

insisting this we work more quickly and more fortunate loyal in order it deliver this action. >> so expect to see many of the items that are discussed in general terms in the plan come to you as specific action item in the months. and i think speaks again to the conversation this we had around equity as well about changing how we do staff reports to link back to these foundational prioritization documents. >> [inaudible]. i wanted clarify when i said i disagree i wanted make sure clear what i agreed with not everything you said director small the point i agree that it is our support to make sure when we hear from community we do our work to make sure when we hear from represents the communities that are affected opposed ghn

says our community. of course we never disagree with that what i was agreeing on with the best out reach work that some of the bold projects will be seen as run smooth or accept the. i want to make is clear i was not saying i agree with everything just this one point. >> [inaudible] first time present nothing front of us i want to make sure you feel welcome exclude i'm glad you are here. >> thank you director yekutiel. director tumlin i hear when you are saying and have a separate question on the transit piece we ran something. put some assumptions in the model that shoes reduction in e missions from transit. i want to not the gap or difference with our current transit system and the assume

instead model to deliver reductions boy 2050 so we when we need to do to do our part on reducing e missions i don't know how to grapple the fact you can't share any specificses. that's not what i meant report as assumptions out lines what it was and what levers we turn up or down in the report. for the transit stj an additional couple 200 miles of transit improvements and capitol transand i then ping we assumed the city if we raise the price, x, amount undefined we have not test third degree how much would we reduce demand for park and trips. >> okay. limp we are to keep at a high

level. i hope as we go forward we act in adherence with this w plan. the road map is not specific as to the exact corridors or price. but it establishes thresholds to thooet meet through later planning work. faring it is transit team does additional analysis about where transit delay is occur and come up strategies, this will help us meet the thresholds for transit relinocaine improve. dealt with in the plan but not a corridor level for parking and other items. last question the strategy 2 around creating connected and protective bike and mobility network that the director

yekutiel has been asking for you approximate by 2050 is there anything we should and not understand about this network in terms of timing and the assumptions this you nut there to get reductions in the plan? >>iel. the assumptions we had was a few hundred miamis of the network that will be developed in the communities plan wing giving i presentation on in the upcoming board meeting. it is a long range upon plan what our vision is but we hear this is important. i. point out to director hem germ's earlier comment the float is getting cleaner. rusing vehicles miles now can more impactful for the climb understanding the mode shift reasons now and not wait until 2040 for a bike network i know you agree with that i

arement to see acts with this crisis you have remindeds today. why that's right and reminder that who i we ever workoth active plan our long range plan we are continuing to move forward in parallel with actual quick build project and other projects folded in the plan. and we are also [inaudible]. thank you we'll open for public comment. for thez in the room on the climate road map. i'm lian d1 resident approximate board member at walk sf i got here 20 millions from thein are

richmond on 38r thanks to transit priority. thank you for this. it goes to show when the mta does big thing its has a big impact the speed we need are calls for strong action i love park suggest on the table and hope we can be bold i was surprised to see the plan did not envision a faster transformation active transportation. in paris behavior can change had a city decides to go billing put on the walking conscientious more often even buy an e bike and learn to roadway than to spin up the infrastructure, supply chains and models we need to support a shift am they are part of solution but a miss to counts on them more than our feet. our legs and our transit float which we already have.

i'm taking driving lessons now may teacher bought an e bike and said he loves but afraid it roadway it in san francisco. and there are so many people like this abled body young adults but seniors, parents. kids of all ages treed go and eatingtory mode shift when we show that the streets are ready for it. inference france adopters in culture and lifestyle i hope we can be bold. thank you. >> next speaker, please. hi. luke. thanks to darryl and staff and team for their work on this report. our climate crisis is worsening

long side the roadway safety sxriesz mode share is moving in the wrong direction we need act quickly to move our city forward. in gufr more pollutants from automobiles come from tires more than engines it is concerning the road map and strategy to address electric vehicles. and electric vehicles have other environmental impacts and weigh more. they are more dangerous and deadly for people especially vulnerable walking and biking and older, low are income and people of confirm our sneesd more to shift away from cars to bikes and public transportation. we continue works we need create more protective bike lane and car free space faefrt. i ask to you amend the road match to exclude ev or change to

exclude single occupancy cars to better prioritize transportation as solutions to our climate crisis and moving us forward to vision zero goal ask erment go proactive of curb area for protected bike lane and on street bike and scooter park. we had stream line processes to reduce time and cost quickly. an example why are we sending every daylighting space to the traffic hearing when it is i proven safety measure. thank you. >> the new community policy manager at san francisco transit roirsd. climate is a part why i do what

i do i appreciate the board taking on this item today and thank you to the staff for putting together this road map. i want to urge the board to prioritize muni ridership and addressing the needs of riders over drivers. this includes renewing service and lowering the cost of riding muni. the data sthees without getting more people on the butts steal not meet climate targets the board should do all tell can to make it cheaper for all to get on muni for trips. a key part improving service including nondowntown rescue rigzal trips the 29 could connect neighborhoods like bayview to golden gate park. but they are slow to be practical. increase ridership and make

progress forward climate goals sfmta should pursue strategies that discourage drive nothing favor public transit and expanded service. parking manage export transit capitol improvements are part of the plan i worry focusing too much on electric cars could back fireplace they are better than gas car vehicles for the environment i worry encouraging car owner ishmael impact on congestion and add c02 if they are not charging sustainable energy source the best way to reduce the transportation e mission system get more on muni. expand service and aincreasing fares. wants to be a resource tonld the needs of the community and rally around a locality funding

measure. thank you very much. no other in thes room. open the phone. >> we will move to remote comment not to exceed 10 minutes. members of public wish to comment dial star 3. each will have 2 minutes. first speaker. staff will bring action items to expand paid park to fund [inaudible] to increase park meter fees as we move off park nothing san francisco. including all residential neighborhood. charging visitors includes families and friends to pay to park when they visit in the permitted your the laughing

stock. i urge an out reach all neighborhoods in the city and work with the board supervisors to hold joint town hall in districts on the changes. the last time sunday and weekend park was, proved residents opposed it was rescind third degree is likely to happen againful as to the residential parking permit system it voted on by each neighborhood and many don't need it or want it. not clear hour force in the a system when we pay to park in front of home and family and friends have to pito park when they visit will reduce climate e missions opposed to tax to funds muni orb homeowners who pay mr. president taxes forced pay the extra fee in neighborhoods who

don'ts need orment the program. approve changes pilot programs. next speaker, please. thank you. chair eakon i think it is balanced and we consider possibilities i said before i do support transit first. sometime i use automobiles. electric automobiles. yes. try to have them charged from sources and i have not rented

one in awhile but electric ride share the best way to electrify municipal sebat repower bus i like the over head line system the problem is in the fixed. we can battle it is bus float. i ask you remember the disabilitied community. not everybody [inaudible]. not everybody can run and not everybody can peddle a bicycle we have to [inaudible] which means electric power transit vehicles and electric automobile and vans. to help our disability community as well which i'm a part of. i would be glad to provide documentation to my disability if you ask for it my disability is real. not forget about this.

i think all the things scooters, parking management is essential. as much as i like electric cars i understand the challenges of park i sdoided take bus or train or scooter. so this is a good road map, make sure we remember those most in need and they purchase that, too. thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello this is tucker district 3. this is an important plan and i appreciate the discussion today. some key points i heard than i are repeating i hope we remember these private cars are san francisco creative source of green house gas we are not moving foot reduce e missions. more are driving alone in cars than in the past and not doing

now discourage driving we need to stop subsidizing car travel especially park. and the communities most hurt by climate change are communities of color. it not that san francisco streets or mode share in our city by mistake. our streets other direct rust democracied of policy choices. partings developed before the car but 19those spots they have adopted serve cars. this is today. even when sfmta has support to do more. begs the question why are transit priority lanes being removed or watered down. why is through traffic added back to slow streets? how are we struggling to develop

an active transportation network as this board wants? a company examples but -- the reluctance to be bold come at a great cost. i hope you find ways to be bold and not get wrapped up in politics the changes needed are going to have [inaudible] we heard in the public upon comment today but the changeers necessary and need to happen, thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. hi. it is vikki i have so much to say. service [inaudible] a mode of transportation is gone because of the climate caused boy transportation. and a big rig rolled over on the bay bridge so those e v's would not get out of here, either. don't approve this plan. police it is insufficient in terms of when we need.

it is hundred waiving not the foundation we should make 5 years of critical work ahead of us. transportation is our city, state and [inaudible] for corrector to climate change you need more details and need torous from small cars. mrajs should get people on bike and bus not whether there should be bike lanes or slow streets. start nudging out the cars out by [inaudible] them this is entire city should have to pifor park. does not have to be e normous. a families and whatever then target the land value. don't place electric charging infrastructure on a street. bat row technology is e involving and don't need to codify cars. put it in garages.

if the cars are further away use them when they need to. i in the down the don't [inaudible] model in terms of cost limit anticipations and potential for mode chair they will give up occur lane and ping no onements to do that the road never ends for drivers. we have no car free routes throughout the city. they are clinging to the convenience. what you do with car free space will affect the community whether to take it from parking. your time is up. thank you. next speaker, please. upon thank you. edward mason employs counts emtransportation authority heard examined sudden front freeway express listens that sustain

convenience. is the past lieu traffic pollution counted against the pollution calculation? another would be to measure pollution along major traffic corridors suchs 19th avenue. franklin and collect that documentation and then create road signs that ask if the marriage traffic on the following day criminalityed yesterday's pollution to change their attitude. where will the new residents work? they will live in san francisco. i think than i will work in san francisco or were live at work in mountain view? so that's it creates pollution for the region. i just provide these comments and lastly, we talk about high

winds. well, 1951, high winds closed the golden gate bridge and blew down or fence. thank you very much. thank you this concludes it is 10 minute time limit. >> thank you sect silva. direct cajina middle the last with respect this it is an action item i want to fill you in on the discussion. since you will asked to vote. we had a discussion about the plan but a lot of the specific questions around parking was seen as a significant e missions reducer whavment does this mean in terms of raising parking price we were not tiebl get answer. with transit was a big item. asked what additional lines or frequencies told we don't have. those details were run through

the model. approximate i'm difficult to nltdz when we are voting on here what a yes vote moneyos this plan and life to get a bit clearer sense from the staff that where i am and hear from clothes where you are after this conversation. i would prefer not to go ahead today. the big head lines from this road map and jeff indicates it is not an implementation plan i'm not sure it a road nap it is an analysis of options. one thing i'm unclear of is when we call this thing.

a second is that the more i know you pointed out to me look in the appendix the gearef street subway is in this there seemed to issue a number of things area dropped into this document than i think we need a clearering explanation for why they are there and how much do they criminality to the rum we are trying to seek. of so, jeff i leave it to you to suggest a delay period whether just one cycle or 2. i'm talking about a wholesale revision but i do think that there are several things we talked about parking and talked about electrification. we had testimony today from people when don't think that is a swell idea.

and -- i still do but the point is. i think there is a lot of detail and especially assumption in this road map i think we need to understand better before we move ahead. >> thank you. director heminger. just to high lighter eighty-one of the specifics, one of the actions is to adopt a complete network of bike for biking when you click in the details the action is xanltd the bicycle network by 2026 and spoke about the modeling can completing by 2040. when are weave talking about the map are come leasting by 26 or 40. i would hoeb hope to see something senior. director yekutiel du want to nil director cajina. >> my piece about it upon know

where you are. i was like you know i try to just lay it out how i see it i felt like if we are going to dot big bold things tos draez the issues of climate there is a tension with how to do it quickly given the crisis and how to do it have it community lead. asking like how we thread this needle. because all the stuff we did in covid brought neap but had to act fast it was a crisis. this it is also a crisis. i guess i wanted to give staff the flexibility in the plan to view the plan if we do need it make big, bold change and do it for climate which is the real reason. that was what i thouchlt i also this board is like i think we are willing to approve big bold things like i think if you came

to the board and asked you to vote on increasing the number of park meters we would probably approve it but often time its does not get to that level of specificity. i don't want it poke for the booshd. i was given a worn. answer that was my main concernful >> thank you, director hinze. i guess i -- guess i would want to know does staff need [inaudible] can we consider this and will informational item and staff could come back with our [inaudible] this it is a framework but come become with a more defailed and edit or are we

going to eventual low need an action where we. yes. >> sounds like we have to do it this year, right? for the that was different. >> yea. >> that was for. why good afternoon. i'm in the planning group. appreciate the inquiries. to claire fight action in front of you was to adopt the climate road map that is the action if you were to i would need to check with christine on if we torch move this to an informational item. il provide a bit detail on if you adopt it today it it is adoption of a framework. with the associated strategies and actions and information on their impactfulness. it is in the an adoption of any of the projects this are nested went action and strategies.

director tumlin said those would come to you separately after they have gone through public engagement and brought as project this is is amend to be seen as an over arching framework so you understand how various levers and policy tools can be ewe likewiseed realize and move urgent low to responded to the climate crisis passed by the board of supervisors. can i provide more detail i could sense there was a desire to end the park strategies to understand more i will or yenlt to you more detail. so, climate road map action top expand paid parking on sunday and evenings. for.2 and 3 was to gradually charge the right place for every on street space. you think about our current park sf program demand responsive

pricing would be xanltding that city wide more are a braudzer geographic footprint. and for.4 and 5 was looking at increasing the residential parking permit peoples those were the specific ping actionless we locked at in the broader strategy. >> i think [inaudible] another sort of point that i was in -- the discussion was it might be more helpful to see this in the context of the like climate action plan and the city has. i wonder if it would be helpful to bring it back in that condition text and see how tell work together. i put this out there for

consideration. >> we are always happy to talk about this in detail the guide our work. we have a full board cal dart next month. understanding it is document versus changing the policy recommendations. doing it is latter will require many additional months of rung the models again and probably sick figures worth consulting dollars the question is -- employees does this will. what we are look for from you is an agreement on this frame w so staff can stop doing conceptual work and focus implementation.

am if this general framework works, then we move forward. so i guess the question is are you do you want more detail on the methodology of analysis and included in assumptions or is there disagreement about the larger policy questions? director hinze? sure. i think i had i [inaudible] i, i am comfortable with the way the plan is written. and um i think as a plan it is a fine plan but i do have questions on the implementation side. yes.

thank you very much. jeff for 92y it is a bit of both. you know one thing. shame on me dinot read this full item. i typically do we have been out of town the last week and a half there is a lot of denail this appendix. one approach might be strip all of that out. i think i heard you just say this is not or may be you. this is not intended endorse any project. but when you put projects between the covers of the document they are there. and people have every reason to believe we are saying something nice about them. that might be one way out of

this. when i'm looking for is a better upon understanding of what this model is doing and what assumption its is making. and today sitting here i have not heard an answer yet. we can take additional more time going through the assumptions and modeling exercises in the appendix or may be continue the item. we can deal with each your individual detailed questions separate low and either make a decision about aon consent in a future meeting or redog the staff work >> when mrs. small introduced the item she -- she said this is a living document. in a way to me is different then and there a pdf done and take

consultants a living document evolves. i don't understand what you meant. a work plan. >> yea that is the translation of a framework sets up a series of like there was this is an analysis. you do an analysis and combhup conclusions we have findings. that is telling us what we need to do and focusing on as we promote our planning efforts and projects in impelementation. this phase of the work is complete and giving information and acts as the structure by which we make decision which projects we prioritize. within the planning process then they are implemented. you act on those actions. so for parking management and you know ev charging and whatever active transportation projects. this help us when you make decisions to say we recognize

our top priorities are parking and ev and transit. therefore this supports the piece of the framework we approved. a high level over view that then when you are making decisions they fit and tells when you say we should prioritize and how we spend our staff time i'm comfortable with the detail of the strategies intuitive approximate, lined we are less comfortable i don't have a clear answer on what was modeld and endorsing that to get on that transit benefit is this board saying yes we are back geary subway a different decision. we will use it to make decisions since it is harder to understands what is here and the impact i deponent feel comfortable doom evertoday and director cajina or borden was

not a part of discussion i would love more piece highlighted. are we endorse thanksgiving or that jeff's response said the modeling did not include that. it is done as an analysis process. an analysis process you put in assumptions the assumptions don't line up to individual projects. the assumptioners x more frequency city ouied. >> the way we dot community based planning this is the network we imagine does not have the specificless because we don't have those yet we have not done this work that statute process which we create the work. >> doochthz documents is not adopting fr. what it it is doing is lookingament the graph the end of the document had circle not guilties big chart and saying staff focus on the big

circles closest to the right hand side and top of the graph. what will help us it prioritize the implementation work. jury room revenue implications or cost implications or community benefit implications helps us target when we spend time on. but not specific this project or this project or this project. gives you stands when you make actions in the future on things not specific in here that says oh we already have been through this we thank you work is really impactful around climate crisis. gives back nothing decision making you need to dom the sooner we adopt at this time sooner we use this document for chasing fund and having project or program in an adopted climate plan is a benefit for pursuing streams of funding y. it is critical. the other thing in terms of

director cagina's conversation this does is our piece of the climate action plan. we have to report back on our responsiveness to the plan passed in 21. we made to make practice that helps with grant funding this is our first snep doing that w to establish the specifics that is going from the big scale to the next scale now the individual piece. right hahn side and top. parking generates revenue as well as disincentive for using private vehicles. the other condition collusion it meet the goal we have to do

everything. yes tochlt do everything with a limed staff and resource we figure out what are we going to do first that's what this document helps us make decisions. director cajina. first, thank you to my colleagues for the cliff note version. and your reactions to this. i so appreciate that and appreciate everyone take the space to give me a recap. iingly their say when i saw the resolution and are presentation and read the staff report i was confused what are we approving today. it seemed like the slide of presentation today there was recommendation that attach funding did not give a number but like a recommendation on prioritieds and funding. i was like where is the i was trying to find the dollar amount

and a lot of things like that i understand deeply why my colleagues are confused and understand why there is concern. if we are saying yes we are prioritizing things, it feelings we are endoergs them before we had a football process here to discuss it. had i am hearing from direct tumlin and xu as l that them is more of a framework then firefighter project by project endorsement. and when those projectses are approximate decisions do come in they will exactly to us and we will have a public process to sdpied yes or no on those specifics? i do think when wore ready to have the ping conversation.

tell be a confirmation. we will have a lengthy meeting on just this narrow topic. and it merits that. a lot of community out reach and the whole 9 yards the gold standard we talked about today. so i think i'm comfortable moving forward with this. just because i continuing it is a framework and not and a series of strategies that we are alined with. the defy you will is in details and i understand those will come before us in a timely way, i hope. and opportunity for the community to engage and opine i'm okay with moving forward with this. if like i want to make it clear we are not endoergs the individual projects or just like the high level strategies and

framework but not in anything in the appendix this is just a twoi capture conversations this happened but not something we are upon loning into. right? so. thank you. director heminger. feels like we reached a point we are trying to wear each other down. i'd like to at least suggest an althoughive to delay item for 2 weeks. and pursue our inquiries during that time to get a sense of clarity what role the individuals are playing. i'm concerned whether you nut in apendics you say in disclaim are language it it is not institute an endorsement. liwonder yet projects are there in the first accomplice.

you are rung i model pailsod assumptions that's okay. but they don't include many of the project ideas i'm hearing that are in the appendix. so this is my motion. am i'm fine i know that in 2 weeks we got an opbus meeting my question is whether or not that is the best meeting to move it to or the one after. >> i'm willing to hear a suggestion from the director about this. >> to add if we add it is to consent this is a way to move past it i think that having time for us to work with staff on the next couple weeks to answer questions is worth it. i would wonder if director heminger would consider adding this to consent versus part of the regular calendar.

why and if i could since we need to be clear with exact low when we are asking to do with -- however many number of weeks. i think we need give them clear direction what we nev.ed from them. or [inaudible] i think we they deserve clear direction. i know we can then and there dwrom a soon but testimony inprecise date and w with the secretary and the chair of the board in order to determine wlp one we are ready and 2 there is time in the agenda >> that's correct. the item can be continued to a date uncertain with understanding you are look to have it come back soon are rather than later without 2

specify a meeting date now. >> we can continue it to the call of the chair. >> correct. >> i'm agreeable to the that if my seconder simple i will second it and i'm torn on the question of consent it is a creative idea and when i'm looking for from staff in the next presently anticipation is a clearer presentation of what this is. what it it is not when we are approving and the public to understand. i think we missed the mark at this meeting in terms of the significance and meaning of the adopting this plan. i would appreciate a discussion when is come back. i say the appendix of the staff report are thorough. it goes point by point. it is t is just it seems like a grab bag. so i want to make it clear mr. p that you put a lot of work into

this. i don'ting anyone is saying hard work was not nut this 102 page report. i think it is more how we package it and what priorities we are asked to make what trade offs we are asked to make. how this do you mean will be used to inform decision make negligent future that are it is not clear. i will second your motion. to continue. could we call a vote on the motion to continue? on the motion to condition to a future date director cajina. >> aye. >> director heminger. >> aye >> director hinze. >> aye. >> director yekutiel. >> aye >> chair eakon. >> aye. >> that motion passes. item 14. item 14. discussion and vote to code

section scent. 1 to mote in closed session to discuss employee performance evaluations. is there public comment not in the room. opening statement phone? remote public comment members of public can dial star 3 to enter the queue. i see no callers. >> is there a notion go in closed session. >> moved. >> second. >> great. >> vote. >> on the motion to go in closed session director cajina. >> aye. >> correct heminger. >> aye. >> director hinze. >> aye >> director yekutiel. >> aye >> chair eakon. >> aye. >> the motion passes the board >> l go in closed

>> shared spaces have transformed san francisco's streets and sidewalks. local business communities are more resilient and our neighborhood centers are more vibrant and lively. fire blocks and parking lanes can be for seating and merchandising and other community activities. we're counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are safe and accessible for all. when pair mets, firefighters and other first responders arrive at

a scene, they need clear visual access to see the building entrances, exits and storefront windows from the street. that means parklets should be transfer in the areas above inches above the sidewalk level. it's best if these areas are totally unobstructed by transparent materials may be okay. you can check with fire department staff to make sure your site meets visibility requirements. emergency response crews and their equipment need to be move easily between streets, sidewalks and buildings, especially when they are using medical gurneys, ladders and other fire fighting tools. that means that parklet structures need a three foot wide emergency feet every 20 feet and 3 feet from marked parking spaces and emergency access gaps need to be open to the sky, without obstructions, like canopies, roofs, or cables and should always be clear of tables, chairs, planters and

other furnishings. emergency responders need to use ladders to reach windows and roofs to buildings and the ladders need unobstructed overhead clearance and room to be placed at a 72-degree angle against the building. clearances needed around the ladders to move equipment and people safely up and down. so not all parklets can have roofs ask canopies depending on the width of the sidewalk in your area. please make sure that your electric cables are hung so they are out of the way and (indiscernible) to the structure, they can be pulled down by firefighters. cable connections need to be powered from an outdoor reciprocal in the building facade because hard wire connections are much more difficult to disconnect quickly. these updates to the shared spaces program will ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, so we can all enjoy these public spaces. more
