mind set year round. it is not just about specific communities, but i believe knowing it itself pride transends definitions. how do we build a muni that is truly for everyone? i rhode it a few times and fine. but i feel that -- it is e special to -- promote the mind set of inclusion all about -- all over our system. not just here in the board room butt front line. member were to say whashgs do i practice? i do practice riding muni. ir practice using my clirp card when i go to new york city i ride subways doing that wearing

start with the most important budget update. last week the californiaing legislator passed the budget includes a proposal to restore 2 billion dollars of the governor cult from the transit rail capital program funds. none will come to municipal tewas allocated by mtc. the state legislator is proposing an additional 1. 1 billion dollars in cap and trade funding be able to be flexed transis operations. with about an additional 200 million dollars in active transportation funding. we are very grateful for this support. and consider it a positive step toward being able to sustain transis operations. we are grateful for the delegation the mayor being board and many advocates who fought to get us this far.

negotiations everunder way with the governoror has until june 30 to finalize the state budget. details are being worked out the deal is unconcern. you understand what this means for yous. this is a very positive stretch it covers just one third of what we need in order to avoid significant service cuts temperature important and the best thing about this proposal it covers transit funding for 3 years. you know i made a promise in the beginning of covid would not balance or budget on the backs of our workforce got san francisco through the worse of the pandemic in having funding for 3 years gives us a glide path for if we can't identify the remaining funding that will be able to shrink through attrition rather than layoff this is is important to me. but we have a lot of work to do

to get the additional 2 thirds. of the funding we need in order to just sustain where we're. that means number one keeping a very close tight hands on the hiring throttle. if the funding news gets better we accel rit hire and worse we slow hiring down. right now we are at about holding things stead. we are hiring. but only the most critical positions as we wait for additional news. the funding come with assumptions part of the negotiations with legislator. it assumes we will postpone any additional muni service restoration. this assumes we'll stay at a 20% service hour cut relative to 2019. assumes that we will be able to

move forward with enforcement of parking meters on sunday and evenings. bring nothing 15 admissible or 3 muni lines. we are getting as efficient as we can be on ped and reliability for muni. you know with 15 prz reduction and delay equal 15% more service and capacity for free. and our attention turning toward the upon region with additional funds to help match this state funding. we are grateful to the senate protim president. speaker anthony. and budget chairs member ting and senator skinner. and state center scott wiener for leadership.

the central subway back in january, we had an incident in the subway where a part that connects the over head wire to the structure support this hangs from the ceiling that tiny part failed. a spool ins later to connect and no current from the wire to the support. we are fortunate that all partses are under warrant. sfmta staff did a detailed inspection of the spools throughout the system and identified that it was perhaps not inspected proper low. and a lot will need to be replaced. this replacement cost will be covered by our contractor. our team is intending to hold the contractor accountable for this situation. . it is a low cost repair but we

have to shut down the subway to replace all of them. plus we don't have the 540 of them that may be needed in order to do all of that work now. we are ordering the parts. parts will take 6 to 9 months and we will work with china town and union square and yerba buena stake holers to figure out the least impactful way of replace to spread it out over time. a weekend shut down and do it at once. we don't know until we hear from the communities. again, our team at the sfmta is condition to inspect every detail the central subway to make sure that everything was installed properly andspected to the quality standards we expect and hold our contractors accountable. next up we brought images here. we have started the beginning of the celebration 150th

anniversary of cable cars which happens in august. we kicked off the festivities not only with mayor breed but also with andrew himself. inventor of the cable car a great san franciscans failed at gold mine and successful in inventing new ways to produce wire rope and applying or handling transport technologies to human transport in san francisco. to open up the hills of san francisco to real estate development. so. what you see there is our oldest survygotsky cable darr car big 19 back in service on the california line every saturday throughout the summer. >> part nevership with market street railway and community based organizations we are offering tours of the muni shop the cable cars built and

restored. history themed tours of the lines. introduced a special 5 dollar pass for the california line. which is in addition to the 13 dollar bunkham for muni and the cable car lines. as always we are very proud to being hosting one of the only rolling historic land marks in the world and one of san francisco's greatest tourest attractions and sources of pride the cable car system. for miles an hour information go to sfmta.com/cablecars150 or cablecars. org >> soma slow street murals got brighter this last week. we have been working in partnership with the san francisco parks alliance.

to encourage community based art on all of our slow streets around the city and the soma slow streets the first to get street murals and we hoped to be able to bring you photos later in the summer of additional work that will be forth coming >> >> next up we got the juneteenth parade. the sfmta and its black expect african-american afinity group lead in the saturday parade. men of us participated in the local neighborhood festivals on the waterfront, bayview and western edition on fillmore in honor of juneteenth this last weekend. next we got pride as well, which director yekutiel mentioned. of course, civic center is already getting closed off in preparation for this weekend's festivities. we will be working all channels

and keepingly all staff busy with traffic reroute in honest are off all event this is weekend. starting with transmarch on friday evening at 6. dyke march saturday 5 p.m. and the pride parade on sunday at 10:30 a.m. i will be out marching with a lot of sfmta staff. and together with the san francisco health department. i want to let you know we and our communication staff at pacific low lead by melissa launched our sfmta pod cast. it is calls taken with transportation. the first episode focussed on my favorite bus linocaine 22 fillmore. can you learn more at sfmta.com/potcast. and finally, tomorrow, june 21st

is the first ever muni safe day out that will run if 9 a.m. until noon. this is an event to build awareness about safety and security on muni. we have staff, volunteers throughout the agencies will post signs at bus stops talking and handing out information. about safety and how to report harassment and stop it on muni. safety is our top concern for both our customers and staff. and it remains a number one priority for all of us at the sfmta. that is my report. >> thank you director tumlin. colleagues? director heminger. >> thank you, ma dad chair. jeff i wanted go back to the state bail out. and i'm going to ask a series of questions each are built on an

upon assumption. let's be clear what they are. and may be i will understands where we stand in religion to our earlier forecast which was as i recall 130 million. >> yes >> fy25? you indicated to us previously that if we were able to pull off parking changes metered changes that we are talking about that takes that number down to 100? >> that in addition to postponing our planned service inspection. >> parking meter changeers 15 rest of the savings from 100 down to 100? are the postponing of the remaining planned service expansion. >> both are within our purview to do them or not. >> correct. >> okay. the state come in and assumption

here is that we will end up with close to a billion-1. may be we will not. do we have intelligence from the administration from the governor's office about when he might do? >> no one i have talked to has a sense of what the governor will do or what priorities are. >> if he does somebody that changes the deal then we gotta go back to the legislator again in >> if he materially changes the deal the possibility of doing additional trailer bills later in the year upon given fact that personal income taxes are due late this year there is the possibility there may be additional state ref now that is available to expect. >> okay. so assuming we end up close to this number, is there anything in the agreement that talks about how that will be allocated among the regions of the state?

>> not yet to my knowledge. presumption from conversations with the legislator are this would be allocated based upon the fta formulas to the major to the metro planning organizations or for us to mtc. and mtc distribute that based upon need. this is not written anywhere. and our gentleman affairs people are nodding. >> and that formula has i revenue and population basis what you put them together the bay area gets 20%. you think higher. actually. 30, kate? okay. so, of that 400 we have to figure out how to aligate that

within the bay area. and -- do you have any sense of -- from mtc what they dolled. what procedure they would follow? why again. 91 of this is written down anywhere. but in our conversations with them, they are eatingtory distribute it based upon fiscal cliff need. and so one of the things we are trying to do at the staff level is nail down exactly what that means. so -- we had rounds of altercations of several bail out funds. didn't we end up in a way of approaching it that had consensus? or we are to do this all over now?

this distribution will be different than the federal relief distribution. for the federal relief distribution every agency got a peefts pie. >> right. >> and while need was a factor it was not the primary factor. if this rounds of relief, there is a greater role wragz this need needs to be the primary factor. for agencies where additional need, additional funding will -- is what makes the difference with being able to have drastic service cuts versus staying stable. and for most agencies in the region they are at a point of stability bart is the least stable at the moment. and then the other agencies that have been largely dependsant upon downtown san francisco commuter fares. muni, caltrain and golden gate

other agency. >> and need's based prospect would be a deviation. we are confident that it will not be an average behalf we got before this it is a different formula that is being discussed based upon need. the starting place for the argument is the need numbers that we have submitted to mtc the last couple weeks and jonathan or [inaudible]. might be able to remember the numbers? >> and may be to do the math to cut to the chase. if it is 400 million coming to the bay area and we got 25% this is 100 that covers your bog for

a year. >> a year but we wanting to do and what the state is want to do spread it over 3 years it covers a third. why that creates a short fall every year and you hope again to address it by attrition not by layoff? >> and to address it through reallocating other regional funding as well as pursuing other revenue source. renaling malis bridge tells. why this is one item. >> thank you very much. in dam chair. >> thank you. other comments? >> we'll open up to public comment now.

on the director's report. >> hello director, commissioners. i'm rex ridgeway the president of ptsa at lincoln high school and vice chair of council. i'm here to ask that as you are looking at scaling back on services in bus cuts the kids have a problem getting to school on time. it is always a problem. so the 29, 28, 44 connects to 48. kids from the southeast side on the 44 connecting to getting to buses to washington and lincoln. i took the 48 for myself. to see. and it is like a sardine can. imagine if you are cutting back on like the 29. 29 service burton and lowell and california state. as you are looking at the map

and looking at your bus lines, we are really concerned what when school start fist any cut back in service or lines it is going to cause again -- result will be more tardiness. kids, i talked to a parent yesterday that their kids taking uber. they need to be on time. you know they are taking uber to class. and families without transportation depends on bus. in closing -- there is a saying, money answers all things unpersonal we don't have enough to spread. applaud you and please keep us in minds. thank you. thank you for sharing your comments. director tumlin >> i want to let you know we hear your concern and share it. despite the financial problems we are facing we are committed

to reallocating the service needed in order to address those severe crowding problems. i experienced the situations myself. and we have been working on the 48 and 29 and 43 where we get school related krud to reallocate resources to make sure kids get to school on time. >> all right. sam walton a rising senior at [inaudible] and similar to rex was saying about lines that service schools i rhode the 29 for about 5 years taken it to ap g all low and take it to [inaudible] now. and i would like to say that i

responsiblesed those crowding problems as well. kind of -- this does not happen often occasionally back from scoot line pass me by it is too crowded. it picks up people from like balboa and city college and a lot of place. and even though i'm not necessary low going to be most affected by those that. it does affect others and i think in many case like perhaps increasing additional service most important school lines would be perhaps a good use resource.

yea. yea, yea, thank you. why grit to see a fellow tiger up here. >> mr. du prix. >> thank you. chair. a lita du prix for the record she and her enjoy jeff's report. meaningful i have been to the cable car museum myself. a number of times. it is important we highlight our cable car system, which i have not been in awhile and did not see any today i saw bus i don't know if i have to pay the cable car fee to ride i can ask. and of course i enjoyed seeing the photos of pride and flags on the cable cars. how doo we get the monfret state to keep our system going? i say we don't want to balance

our budget on the backs of the riders. resort to high fare increases like what will help at bart very soon. it will going up 5 and a half %? how do we go to the state inform new york, our friendly neighbor to the east, they did come up with a funding plan to help to keep public transportation in new york city operating. which includes a ledge endary and historic risystem the subway.

>> we have a project now shaping improvements on the 29. how do folks here to give comment how do they get updated on those. >> thank you for the question. why the 29 sunset is the longest daytime line in san francisco and therefore one of our least reliable and as you know our last meetingly you approved moving forward on the 29 sunset improve am project. go to our website and search for 29 sunset improve am project, there is a link at the top to click to sign up for updates on that project.

separate or contracting have us on 12 to 14 month time line when we initiate a request and sign a contract this . was started a year ago on march. the sets us up to receive 150 thousand dollars in support of infrastructure programs to make sure we do out reach and communication and plain to the public why. all to do safety out roach to engage the community both in understanding the occurrence with regard to vision zero and safety as well. >> okay. director. >> so. just making sure. it is do not exceed for 4 million it is able to allocate the money at in point if a contract is awardd that money is in a pot? >> i say the opposite. a contract to say if we get monnet future we have a vehicle

to spend it on no money attached to this contract at this time. it is a contract it says if we receive 150 thousand dollars, 500 or 1 million dollars down the road tell go in service of communication we'll be able to issue a task order that goes through the contract compliance check. that then becomes a -- minicontract. and come back before approval? >> not unless the funding needs board approval >> most of this stuff is going to consulting firms? >> i don't know. >> this is 100% a contract with communication. >> not full low to pay for the safety work just consultants to help us figure out what the key program activities should be or is this money going to. this is going to. mig the contractor that we are

discussing is a communication contractor. they help us design campaigns dot add buys social media byes and a lot of graphic work when you are in the mission and see the speed signs related to the new 20 miles per hour speed limits those were part of an earlier version of this contract. can the money one thing is motorcycle safety programs out roach for 20 miles per hour. >> yes. >> can this money be used to do that? to build the signs, deploy. >> no. helping us figure out what to look like. there is no montheis a communing contract. we have other contracts for construction or programming or specialized activities and on call contracts when we get grant funding we act quickly in order to do that implement agsz. what we do for a project is the

bulk staff lead. but we might hire a special design firm in order to move quickly on a grant we did not have staff to do design and hire communication firm if we did not have existing in house staff to do this work ourselves. >> i guess i have to ask do we not have the ability to do this within our agency >> no, we do not. we are department upon an array of contractors in order to expand large amounts of grant funding that arrive randomly we staff the agency based on the expected level of revenue we get that is overnight course of the year and when grant fudzing rains down from heaven we depends upon able to bring on outsiders to support us we don't have the capacity to deliver in house. >> let me get this straight we have money to help us do out preach for actifrts multilingual around crash factors.

all this stuff around vision zero we could not get this done now. >> we start with our own staff and where we don't have existing capacity on our team we look out to consultants to help us. >> okay. >> and up to a million dollars a year the next 4. >> that's right. >> and might penned wherevero it is simple low a contract that allows us to move quickly yoochlt without us looking at the contract. i'm not trying to gum update system i want to move fast repeating question for mow is if we need to save 100 million dollars where can we and i wonder if 4 million dollars i'm not saying we should do this. but 4 million dollars to potential low use that money to hire consult analysises to help us figure out how to message to people to not vision zero. >> we always start with our in house workers.

they are efficient and effective. they are great talents. but we are missing 1200 of them. >> we have limited capacity. with grant funding it is funding is highly restricted we can't flex it to for example fund muni it can used for public safety campaign and have 3 people in house who can lead this and if we have a million dollars we gotta spend. >> don't want to waste it. >> the last iteration of this contract how much do we spends all allocated and how much was this? >> we did. my memory a 5 mission contract over 5 years. spent at that time we had 2 million dollars in education fundses that were allocate by previous mt aboard. was that money when that money came in was it restricted where we use today for communication.

for that contract it was a mix. we had huhhed this is could it was we received a grant funding for out roach and education program in needed to that could not have gone to things on the street and a previous iteration of the board with director allocated funds in left lean times at the early -- in vision vero to create visibility that was our speed campaigns and other educational campaigns it was 2 million dollars over 2 years. >> this is tough. we are saying like in the future if we are money to do this we want to do this quickly. the money could be restricted so we have to use it for this and would not want to leave that on the table and could be unrestricted if we have a good pilot program we want and hire consultants there is flexibility to do it.

and i know if anyone understands our budgetary constraints it is you you don't want to waste a dollar. but we are asked to make hard decisionis wonder like at what point do we say we can't do things the way we used to and have a campaign we hire consult ans >> it is highly unlikely we will use fleckable on educational cap pain. the campaign there are major state grant funding sources thatten go to education or campaigns. can't be used for anythingel. good work to do. we want to do it. okay. my only my last thing i want to register discomfort as i have done using money for consultant we can do it in house different than contractors. sometimes i would support

contractors in house painting and that thing where we hire a third party. >> i want to register that. i don't mooeng mean this as a personal afront to consultants out there. you know. >> thank you director yekutiel. i concur it it is i am remiss when we award large contracts. the comfort i have here is that it is we contract folks work order this is is in the to exceed that gives me comfort in that. i see this there are does the

contract not sure if it is in the report. does the contract make room for this contractor to subcontract with cbo's. one thing this board has been enthusiastic about is trying to create more meaningful partnerships with folks on the know ground. especially with the services we have. if you could peek about that spees that would be great. >> it does. allow for that. we work to have process in place before we choose which to work with through the contract. if there is a communication need benefit from working with a cbo much smaller entities that can't compete in the contracts we encourage partnerships. has a mobile business these are local not federal funds contract. it has the requirement.

and i'm sorry i don't remember the number. well over a quarter. >> >> 25% this contractor has a history of exceeding that number in the past contracts. we expect that will be met and those are smaller shops. >> thank you. any other comments. colleagues. director hinze. >> no , i'm good. i like -- i'm comfortable. how much we will spends if at all. i rather give folks the possibility using it if need. i'm good. is there a motion to approve this? item. so moved. >> moved. >> seconded.

>> take public comment. >> on this item. >> 10. 4. >> any comments on the item? those present? not seeing any. move to remote public comment. secretary silva >> remote comment not to exceed 10 minutes. dial star 3 to enter the queue. we have no speakers. >> thank you. so -- we have a motion to approve this item can we call the roll? >> on the motion to approve 10.4 director heminger. >> aye yoochl director hinze. >> aye. >> director yekutiel. >> aye. >> director cajina. >> aye >> thank you that item is approved. >> thank you. call the next item >> item 11, approving a class 4 parking protected bikeway and

modificationos fell street part of the fell street class 4 bikeway project. >> hi. good afternoon. i'm elizabeth chen a transportation engineer in streets division i'm representatives the project in your consideration and approval. >> during the covid-19 emergency the sfmta installed a temporary protected bikeway on fell street to provide relief to crowd nothing juvenile 2020. the panhandle social distancing. could you pull the mic down? >> this project was approved by mta on august 18 of 20 between under that resolution the parking protected bikeway in affect 130 days after the

covid-19 emergency unless the board takes action we are seek to make permanent the what was under the original project. >> this bake way using posts paint and signs. you see in the before and after diagrams here one of the 4 through lanes was removed this . 3 through lane is compatible both ends of the corridor there are 3 lanes in at bake and 3 passed the shader. now is a floating parking lane. no changes made to driveway or sug nals or crossings. >> mt remarks staff communicated with the d5 supervisor to address questions or concerns about the project and most feedback has been positive. however we did consider this a major feature of the project was

a lane drop implement when traffic were suppressed. ahead of making the changes permanent you can second degree an evaluation of the temporary project n. fire department was a stake holder. keep collected preproject data in june of 2020 and comper se today to data collected august 2020 an among post project it yen 2023 which was 30 months post project. the lists are the key finings from the evaluation. 30 months after the lane was installed vehicle volumes increased by 9%. 12 mont vehicle times up to 17 seconds on weekdays and 8 on the weekend. increase in bikes and growing number omitting to use the bike lane on fell street.

and most important low, crash analysis showed decreased 42%. compared oak street did not have configure changes. and a krash rate decline by 27%. saw an increase of pedestrian and bicycle yours on oak a 40% reduction. a bikeway connection and oak street. and this project is beginning design phase and anticipate out roach in the fall and seek approval in 2024. there are no changes to the design and we are seek to make per minute minute what is in accomplice on fell street. lane reduction allows a cohesive design on the corridor and seen a reduction in collisions and

increase of bicyclists using the parking protected bikeway. thank you for your time and consideration. >> thank you. directors are there questions? on this item? >> seeing none. open public comment for those in person. i'm a residence dents of debose triangle and use third degree lane many times. and i would like to speak in favor. keep this permanently. i ride an electric bicycle the shared use path is lovely. love to use it. and as a jogger.

it is nice to have the lane those moving quickly through that area. and i was excited see it coming to oak. any other public comment in on the item we passed general public comment. sorry about this. >> hi i'm jerry. i just want to tell you i was not coming i saw you at a meeting i'm here. remember anything going on here. in is important. it is we okay. let's try to i'm going to try to be concise simple as possible. dealing with mental disorder have you to pay attention this

mental disorder covers the [inaudible] sfmta and transportation situation of course. it is the emotional disorder. so there is a way of dealing with people who are sick we need to address them on staff which is taking [inaudible] they ask us to cure them. least [inaudible] step by step i'm here to change the course it is a mission. change the course of because we are going down. up we are to getum and critical thinking dealing with people who are sick. we are not sick we will take care of them. simple, right. have a good day yoochl thank you for sharing your comments. director heminger. you have a comment? >> thank you, madam chair. look we have confronted a success here i am happy to move approval. i would like to ask jamie a

question about the protective nature of the lane. i know we had a debate about what institutes a protected listen. in this case it is the cars parked to their right, correct? >> direct. good afternoon. mta. yes. the primary protection on the line is the parked cars themselves. are you considering that same treatment for oak street? yee have not started the design, yes we would. you are look to do it wherever you can around the city? is this sort of the state art as opposed to the stanchions i understands we have to use in some cases but -- provide a lot less protection. >> yea. gi think where well is parking protected design is our preference because the car itself is a large presence that

does protect the bike lain lane and provides parking. thank you. i will move the item. >> great. we have to include public comment. >> anymore public comment on this item for those present? >> open up remote public comment. >> at it time we'll move to remote comment not to exceed 10 minutes. dial star 3 to enter the queue each will are 2 minutes. >> we have no speakers. >> madam chair i will second the motion. >> grit a motion and a second. call the roll. approve director heminger. >> aye >> director hinze. >> aye >> director yekutiel. >> aye. >> director cajina. >> aye >> that motion passes.

>> thank you secretary silva item 13 first before 12. >> very good. call item 13. thank you. checking our agenda. item 12. presentation and discussion regarding building progress master and activity update. >> >> good afternoon jon then and there chief strategy officer i get to program manager. i will give you a general update on buildings progress and i larger projects the potrero yard project. first, the mta started the

progress program in 2017. after a full facility framework in response to comments become from our staff through employee surveys going become to 2014. it is a 2 plus billion dollars capitol program the plus is there integrating electric the technology changes costs and methods are discussed in the industry. but our estimates have included this cost within there. and we use new project delivery methods. a lot of the things we learned over time to our learning projects we intfwrit in the this program. there are 3 compoenltss modernization. state of good repair. replace am of public facility and yards throughout san francisco. the construction such as new parking control officer headquarters for growing operations across the city. and improvements to shop and our

technical support facility in san francisco. one thing i stress and this gets forgotten is the municipal riway with this nation's first publicly owned transportation and transit organization. and so a lot of the yards we have our over a century old 2 are over 100. per of the reason we focusod that electrification as you have been they are regular requirements within the state and significant funds toward the electrification. making surety infrastructure at our yard and the capability of the power to get our bus out to service and lastly joint development. ticking the properties in the acre in san francisco and using that lands use to add ref nows to the organization for transit and transportation service. so for you and the public if you did not know we have 12 under

[inaudible] 3 were add. 31 buildings. 68 acres makes us the second learningest lands owner after rec and park. 1.9 million square feet of buildings, 2 sales force tower. combined those represent about 5 billion dollars in assets our largest class here at the mta and you will see our largest backlog. these assets have the largest state of repair back look in the mta. i want to stress in fall when i provide anept on the 2050 program. taking properties parking garages and our physical yard bunkham using joints development to raise revenue system a component moving forward financial sustain ability. we have done work and giving an

update on that in the fall on our po serb. the building progress is key for us to be able to do that. over all since 2017 we started the work on parking control headquarters hopeful low that will go out to construction in early 2024. and you will hear later about potrero but a project of this scale a making the progress this we have made in 3 years is general low has been unheard of. yet in san francisco we added 46 new operator restrooms and these are ones we own. not the onces we lease. i have a 200 million dollars in deferred maintenance. made 8.2 million dollars of improvements restrooms, break rooms and h vac systems cross san francisco. put in new ~esque laters. and have one set last to go at

embarcadero and starred the pilot project woods yards for chargers. the bus yarded the first in 10 years. build a sighs make and resilient over head line at the burke warehouse did not add more space but continue to store everything we always did there and add a seismic safe over head line. and completed the work in bangcroft where street operations function. the critical path is complete the bus wash at woods. this project is important we tried to design in our division a standards bus wash used for any vehicle at all locations a state of good repair program to replicate it in other locations. we are moving forward with the new elevator the first in many dkdzs add to the muni system at

castro station. the kirkland yard electric project in engineering. looking over all how to deliver the electrification program in requirements director tumlin is w working on waiting on a raise grand evergrand everguarantee that will allow you to complete all environmental requirements for that site. we received a 2 million dollars earmark to condition work at cable car barn and got our request for proposals drafted for the second face of condition assessments for subway stations the modernization program includes 4 large projects. did include muni east i will talk about that potrero after this. the kirkland and presidio yard the focus at the time of the program was service requirements. the fleet requirements, storage, maintenance and electrification you will see the regular component and funding

availability. we are using muni message to get this done. this is the big state of repair need it statute hardest piece the mta owns to funds t. is difficult to funds this program. again, the upon original upon facility framework set the over all requirements. we are working on something 5 years old but med it flexible. we knew funding motive not always show up but we have the the float requirement and need to continue to update the facilities the program was built on changing circumstances and adaptability. the original program in 2017 assumes a temp refer trolley coach the muni east. potrero yard move there. we would move on to presidio have the prescriptions at the temporary yard and kirk delineate left-hand side a window of time the fleeted be at

the proper size to have one complete yard closed. by 2019 after evaluating drainage requirements at muni east and recycle water for the bus wash on site. added the maintenance facility store knowledge at musn'ty east and maintenance at 1399 mayorin with potrero and kirkland following we modified the program one being do we have enough to do this w? regular timing and important low not causing any delay to the potrero project. yowly your transit director gave an update on service plans. we did then take that service plan make assumptions when the float requirements will be in this period and what our storage requirements for this float over that period and technology requirements that allowed us to

not dot then 99 marin project. not be doing the temp refer materialy coach facility at muni east. we will not be moving the potrero we'll close it down for a period of time and based on our new service plan will redistributing resources to other yards this is something we have to work with labor partners on. it is difficult. between jewel and he i and trying torous the cost of the projects and deliver them on time, this is now the program we are advancing and moving forward. potrero first. kirkland the electrification requirements and presidio largely on the original schedule.

inspect 2022 we completed the bat row facility mysterier planning with the team this supported us. important for us to understand what the regular requirements. what schedule would be required. in the only float size but float tech untiling with manage we had not considered. that also lead to the change sequencing we had discussed. the potrero yard now will be a trolley coach facility and the per minute innocent facility t. is likely if kirkland presidio will be a battery electric bus. we allow the flexibility. based on this plan and the timing of electrification this is when is now making sense. the harder part is power

requirements we are working on with our puc and associated infrastructure. there is in the the infrastructure on the site but infrastructure of getting the power to the cites. which is in the always in our control and we need to partner with the puc. again the left bullet. this schedule is based what i will tell you is unreasonly aggressive requirement. we think we negotiated a solution to make this a workable plan. you will see the program here. we will expand the pilot to meet demand. an initial pilot for electrical infrastructure in place and presidio yard i noted. putting together program management plan in an mou with department of public ws for city

resources. we'll use them in department of public works and our capital program and construction. a quick update on joint development program this statute opportunity to build positive ref nows this we would in turn put become in transit and other services. we are advancing the housing project at the potrero yard you will get an update on shortly. >> the most important part while still today it is in the mated to gent rit positive ref now for the mta. what it does is puts us in the market place and sets the temp lay for this joint development project. we are building new agreement and negotiations how do work with the development community on the properties and there have been lessons learned. to dpaet for presidio we completed development options. we are consider now.

we do something like this every century. so, we have a lirmented period of time to make big decisions and consider how to use the 60 acre of lands in san francisco. our goal we want to monstyles where we can with joint development. update our aged infrastructure.

we also need to make it future proof. that is difficult when you are considering 100 years would we get enough pur. humay technology change. 2 yards now like the maintenance base are pits and inappropriate pits for our maintenance staff to dot work. troll coaches maintain outside there is no ability to do the work the technology today for trolley coach has the equipment above the vehicle this . is an example when building lasts within00 years you have to think careful than i need to left this . it is it on that quick update then portrir i'm happy to take questions you may have now. >> any questions on this item. >> director yekutiel. >> thank you. 4 questions the first how does,

4. at this time. how safe are facilities in >> we have so the city registers at seismic hazzard rate and done seismic rating reviews of the facilities. portions of them are not in conditions that would survive a level event. keep keep them a level mince they're functional like the city it is hospitals and fire stations. we need to make seismic upgrades. >> is it like commercial and residential where the city is requiring everyone to come to a level of code compliance in time? or more lackadaisical? >> no the city does have a robust program that it is the easter bondos the ballot. >> >> emergency seismic safety

something bond this is the city's program dog that. we have had one the first was the now over head line facility. unreenforced mason building would not survived a major quake. the now one would. in an emergency if we have over head lines going down those will access the trucks and tool and equip to responded of the prior did not mote that requirement the current does. >> we are over due for something large are and so hope it doesn't happen. reproducing house negligent future what we plan with potrero yard is it your plan that as we remodel the other yards you like to reprowse that idea and housing above?

>> yes. with per contrary and all facilities we do an economic developmentance analysis what will get mack revenue. housing could be one. commercial could be one. like the holing vitaly on embarcadero we gained about a person -- 9 million dollars a year in revenue. we gent rit ref now that is a hotel and locked at hotels on the parking garage properties. we will do an evaluation. what will gent rit the most ref nows for the agency and operations. and then consider other policy goals housing requirements. potrero of thes in the housing element of the general plan and a number are a sumd as well. >> this is an addendum to the

question. a followum to the a of the 888-691-1075. are there any quick ideas you have for ref now generation on properties begin the fiscal crunch we are in? there is good and bad. we are at a trough. >> carts. >> this is a good time for you to figure out had the land use will be. do the proformers to figure out the ref now and red to bring on development teams that post this period will construct up to i point of refer. we can be per of this recovery in the city. and i think this the planning and development infrastructure n agency needs in place we now have. >> how much mondethe expansion work save the agency? >> i would say that saved about 100 million dollars. why i remember the process of that in between plan like i wish

we could pregnant out not to spend 100 million dollars just to hold things together while the other yard gets renovated.

save on rent we are pay to our

sisters 2 floors down >> it is not we have considered that thing. and we are considered alternatives where this market might be better for us. based on where it is with regard to office space and/or on a site constructing our own headquarters and the least what we pay in a lose capitolizes over time and own a now headquarters. we are considered to build our own headquarters on our own property. >> i have to ask. is is there recommend in the new permitting search building not there is no room there for us to take. why tryd that before when they built it. why no. >> okay. when is our lease expiring hq wrchlt it is an annual work order. i see. okay. of curiouser and curiouser. thank you.

>> thank you director heminger. thank you. in dam chair i like to start with where direct yekutiel left off i have been think burglar this myself. the number i heard in a meeting was we pay 11 million dollars a year to the city general funds for that building. a tradition of loishg soak the mta with what you get, way with. had i wander about given the fact you are making progress in sacramento but not all that we need, whether or not some discussion about foregoing this rental piment for a period of time. who i we near official difficult competence perhaps back later on when we near less difficulty? >> there are many ways in which the yes or no fund departments beingrous expenses for the sfmta

to help us get through the next couple of years of crisis. unfortunately, the general fund is now hit from reduction in property value and sales tax now is not a good time to have that conversation. we would welcome support you would like to provide as we try to. >> i think the difference though and i understand that everybody is having a hard sometime. it is a matter of priority. and the w this we do is among other things highway low visible and desired by the public. and -- it does in the make a lot of sense to be cutting municipaly lines to save the job of bureaucrat over in an agency no one has heard of. we do unlike the other agencies have the ability to pay manage back. if than i were willing to look the other way on rent for a

couple years. along it is lines of finding something quick and men a hail mary paddle. you are probably right think this is worth a conversation. everyone will have their hundred out in the exercise. i guess we should get in lineful the second thing i wanted ask about, and it is a big are subject area. the merhen talking a lot about the future of downtown and where it is today and where it might go in the future and i know this we are going to have to have in very large and citywide regional conversations about when our downtown looks like in 10 years. and 2 of your joint development projects fiveth and mission and mos sceney are in the middle of that. so i guess one question is are we sufficient low plugged in to

whatever i'm reading about in the newspapers? and what am i reading about in the newspapers? what are you plugging bo in >> this is i great question. first with regard to 1 south vaness. the over all hub and land use plan that was this whole block were up zoned. and wong south was the outed building out comper seed everything this you know whether or not development help its is zoned for growth in the future. there are employees that work well xu need alternative cites. we have been you know talking with the department of rolls royce. you know the office of economic and w force development how you can do joint development amongst multiple sight in the downtown where we get rent relear.

manage like this weit ritd that was just before the pandemic we were look at that option. sect we will look at work orders in the upcoming year through the budget process. i think with a higher level of scrutiny in the past and i do meet with the city's like director of development in the office of economic workforce development biweekly. and these are development programming be a partnership. we are actually one of the staff on the potrero project work in oewd we are in communication. and however our sights intgrit to the plan for the downtown is our only condition is make revenue. the citiments toin fwrit it fine. we should make positive ref now off of properties.

our property, mounted to to-sales fers towers. why yes. >> are you ever going to try to take that big chunk out of this and figure out a comprehensive real estate strategy for do we have one? this is one the update i will give the board as part of transportation 2050 am yes we have do proformers for cites. we have mates based on land use how much ref now we think we can generate off the cites in the past i given the board an estimate of 30 million dollars a year in ref now based on land use on the cites and ref now generation. director tumlin and i are in discussions with city hall and potential low changes in the state allow us to generate more

on the properties. this was in the building progress program. we have had a robust development program. i think the pandemic hitted the nature of the market. and i think we had you know clear intentions when we wanted do. then the housing element showed up and the rethinking of the downtown showed up. we are a partner as long as we make ref now off the supports the mta controls >> thank you, in dam chair. >> director hinze. >> thank you. madam chair. this is going off of upon director yekutiel's question about earthquake preparedness i wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about another sort of -- natural disaster relating to our

facilities. [inaudible] director cajina and i were struck by a presentation we had around sea level rise. and how namight affect our -- facilities related to sea level rise. talk about this as we work we are talking about rebeing location in other facilities. that is the resiliency components i talked about in the

over all progress program of what happens there is sea level risk or quake risk and you do a trade off. can i ford it. what will it electric like. i think my team takes a different view we need to assume the events will category. with brafrng everbankraft we raised the floor the over headlines and central warehouse. so -- we planned for resiliency and sea level rise in this case in muni metro east. the croak and w this we do at the port at 1399 marin they are high risk. and so as we make upgrade and appropriate for electrification, it is impublic for us to ignore the issues of sea level rise and not have them prepared.

we are looking at options the difference we don't own it and a 10 year facility we were look at operational mitigations during high water n. our own facilities e approximately muni east when we expand the 4 acres for riand electrify the croak we will need it include capitol victim modifications. okay thank you. i had a couple of follow up questions around operator restrooms.

what is the operator restroom situation like. a deficit. meeting the requirements of when we had have for our operators. are there room to grow i want a better snapshot. i introduce kirstin i would in the live without. he is like our section director. she has been working on operator restrooms since the original task force. the 46 are due to a part of her and her team. thank you. i'm senior manager. the operator restroom task force start in the 2012. we have had 3 different project -- phases. and we have now have 46 as was

described. there is about more then and there 146. we own or lose or get from christ companies or agencies for nothing. all over san pran and daly city at each terminal the light rails go to. i did not know there was a task force. >> the once's don't own we lease. lease or get at no cost. >> do we need more.

yet one remain to built out to create 2 like embarcadero the funds we will go in one that was 6 and california. the task force decided that it would be better to spends those at the embarcadero where well is more traffic. and so the prirtings who have a terminal or can stop there long enough and use one of the 2 under the escalators they will be new. the next question about ~esque laters and elevators. what is the status of those. are they do we need great we have one now. when this will be live? . so that is supposed to i'm going you have my last memory.

i believe this will come to the board early next year. out to bid. a 2 year. it is complicated construction. 28 to 36 months before it is complete. designs are complete and work done around the plaza. in per inship with groups at the castro. in terms of the other elevators are those -- in a good state. did we need to invest! good question there is a line of demarcation we manage the construction like we are responsible for the physical stations they are an under ground building elevators are

maintained boy the maintenance away tome and a team within transit division. julie you are fro to m come up employs needed contracts and condition tracts for passport on the maintenance based on the component requirement and the parts for escalator and elevators. >> a couple things. thank you for the restroom program temperature it is basic human right. when we sat in the room in 2012 dp decided to have this task force nobody anticipated it was going to need to meet bimachining low for over a decade and she kept meetings ago and we have restroom access.

our elevator and escalator program is irrelevant aren't to program in state of good repair. made a good investment. we have a posse this we would like 2 elevators at all of the for accessibility elevator in the best state are difficult to keep in a constant state. there is a lot of little things to go wrong. working on an elevator at powell. we would like to have 2 in all stations. and we are achieve thanksgiving in many but in the all locations. thank you. julie. that's it for me.

are we hearing 2 items together or separate low. where we should take them separately and public mental for item 12. thank you, chair. good report this . it is a five billion dollars organization. as i read it. bart i think is valued at 15 billion. and00 autonew york city subway is valued 1 trillion. most valuable in the world.

could fit froin acres of grand central in new york city. how do we use that electrification is essential. why is it hard to get electricity in our system in is live in an all electric home. i have that and use electricity and don't have a problem getting it. sometimes the power guess out like for anybody. that's important when we have our -- hydro electric dam and transmission line to newark. california deposit new jersey. we have to have bold ideas may be to finish this transmission

line to here. amtrak has a power system between new york and washington. we have to think big. electrification is the future. keep up the elevators and restrooms. thanks. other public comments on the item? move to remote comment. >> we have no speakers. thank you. call the next item. >> would it be possible to request a 5 minute biobreak. >> fine >> it sames like a change time

to as well my gi system hold out the entire work of the agency that is the case and i would love a 5 minute break wrochl appreciate your candor director yekutiel and call a 5 machine 'd presents sxagz discussion potrero yard modernization project update. all right. voice chair board members jonathan still chief strategy receive the mta. now an update this was i believe one of the directors up here . ed multiple bites of an apple this is to provide some bites requested by the board an update today on one of our big are projects the potrero modernization. this was opened in 1915. you will see in this photo here some older version of the

trolley coaches. this is when it was converted. over all this is 100 yearso. serves and served in the past 100,000 muni riders per day ump will see the lines out of the facility the 5, 5r, 22, 14, 30. all over san francisco and our most significant transit line. this project i adopt to stress this the team here has asked mow to. this project will build first in the world infrastructure. and so -- we are learning a lot doing this project a lot will cover that with you today. there is in the a project on earth combining the types of infrastructure in a single build thanksgiving we are building here. it accomplishes policy goal and

a demonstration on how a major met rewrir when you mode to increase state of good repair and modernize how can you deal with issues of house and resilience competence good repair in one location. the goals are efficiency, sustain ability. growth and the working conscience for employees. state of good repair. talked about climate and decarbon wragz had is key of us doing that advancing a 500 u mitt housing project on the site is key. and the project delivery over all of the project. and what we are able to achoef that and do this here in the city of san francisco. remind the board this uses a design build finance and maintain prop. the first time we delivered a project in this way. the 3 follow ups from the board meeting on november 2022, was it

introduce our team here the potrero neighborhood collective this will occur tud will hear from the team ofs selected for this project. than i will go throughout proposal and mystery changes the out reach around design and elements of the building and where we stands with that. and then asked for steps hiring a pmo. we are develop thanksgiving it is have an r fp out the bhoint it come become to the project agreement we'll intfwrit in in the over all project. >> will not go through all this has been quite ecfencive out reach. in the mission. to create and partner andity rit on the project. you can see going become to 2018. the w we have done in the community. most important part for this team is one we created

a mashthd working group that paid huge diffidents. and second we go to the community where they are. who i we have certain meetings and locations for people to inter~ account with us we go out to groups during their molting and periods of time for updates and feedback. iment to go back another thing that it is not the active community in this we are fixed plant facility well hen significant in roach with own employees this is not only a project which we do out roach on transit service. good repair, housing, infrastructure develop and want roach with mechanic and operators and supervisors on work conscience when we can do to make it better. you're you will seat path. we have community listening sessions on going. people update on the project

or want us to come talk to them we dom i was at one left week. we got preapplication done with planning. right after you approved the development agreement. you will see we have been to a number of event and completed the design review. and you will see survey on open decision points was important where we took one of the meetings with the neighborhood working fwroup and directly addressed every comment and concern this came up. documented all of them. and in this session we respondedd and we were clear about when we could and couldn't do. and discussed. believe it or not i remember getting feedback and it is like you did in the give me the answer i wanted but appreciative to the agency for having the conversation. this is where we want to end up on projects like this in the over all schedule. the path is to move us to you to

approve the project agreement. eventual low cert fight ceqa. we have the administrative draft of the eir completed. working on the entitlement package approved by planning, mta and the board of supervisors the project is on schedule. and so we anticipate getting this to you right around the end of the year or just may be a bit after the end of year early in 2024. we are at 100% design. and we are finalizing the work on ceqa and entitlements. you will see when we have done to date. 50% design in march. and 2020 in april, practical application. final in may. aggressive hitting time points on the schedule. and then as i said we hope to close the predevelopment phase

and ceqa doneively got it on that line the schedule is going back and forth and working with planning. we want to get to the planning commission before the end of the year. in time in november. and get to the mta board and supervisors. now risks. because this project is designed to finance maintain and financing is co of project. one reason that we try hard to protect this project from having scheduled delay it is due to the nature of financing. every time we delay it tell cost more money. we try heard to manage to the critical path of the schedule. so, when we talk about 1399 marine and metro east not only the service and other components in the program we were considering, we also considered that if the 2 projects were not done right potrero will be

delayed. not only we achieved savings due to not constructing the 2 butch there would have been up to a year delay on potrero had we moved forward result nothing costs on the potrero project. making the changes we did we were able to aroadway that situation. we are alling evaluating project risks. right now schedule was key. the economic circumstances this were in chris will talk about with high interest rates. and still high construction. are head winds this is we are dealing with and we are working through every day. we do have plans in accomplice so for each risk we identified continganceys. today -- i will be clear about this. today, scope is not changing the

3 store bus yard. 500 units are on scope. knowing the risks and come plexity and head windses the scope suspect staying the same as of now. we are all on schedule. the schedule when you, proved the predevelopment agreement the only difference was the board might remember the best and final offer process before we implemented the final agreement. we wanted the project the proposal we receive federal the team behind me. that kazed a delay but did in the start the project.

chris is going to introduce himself from the team and going to introduce himself and the tome and where the project is. you get your second by the of the apple and you miquestion the team and ask them about proposals and then i will close out on project delivery. good afternoon. i'm chris i'm project manager for potrero neighborhood

collective. which is the consortium of firms behind me. pleasure to be here to brous our team and approach and introduce our plans and the progress we made to date. >> i want to start by sharing the 5 goals. they are upon on the slides partnership, innovation. economic inclusion. community voice and equity. working regular low with the sfmta and other members of the city family to progress the work mentioned. this collaboration is evidenced by engagement with staff and community to advance design, approvals and out reach, design build exert cost management. ino vague. a fully afford annual how doing solution insome workforce housing for public servants and others earnings 80% and within 20% median income that might be

out priced of the city. the importance of the community and the city for a strong community with affordable housing. economic inclusion. we are committed to deliver during the predevelopment and post predevelopment with local business enter prize and local hire. during the predevelopment phase potrero collective has engaged lb e to support role and begun meeting with the community sf well tino and black business association and african-american construction. propose the 25% lb e participation goal throughout the life the project. for the bus yard and housing. expect getting conelectronicors to include plans for motorcycle row inclusion many are hyper local. community voice the importance of this community cannot be under stated we'll continue

robust out roach. our out reach is biling welenglish and pannish. than i inform and influence our design. potrero working group conscience a role in being a valued, informed and vocal stake holer. >> lastly racial equity. this project sits on the land of the people historically latin extinguishing community and the legacy of sourced out migration of black residents during the urban renewal period this understanding of racial injustice that fuels us to make decisions. now to provide on who we are. the u.s. based company with udz

headquarter miss los angeles and canadian headquarters. one of the most successful partnership developers in north america with 59 public similar private projects valuing over 17 billion dollars. emplaying 120 people in north america in 5 office. alegality of my colleagues are here today. we have our affordable houseings developers and has 3 affordable develops mission economic, young community and tab are nabbingel. 3 local developers with expertise in experience with funds houseings development projects. on design, we have [inaudible] and [inaudible]. collaboration of 2 firms this combines 30 years of infrastructure design and 23 years of affordable housing. consultant plant construction allen group with cost estimating over 30 years of bay area commercial construction

experience. dna communication supporting us with over 35 years of local government, community and regulation experience. now the design. i want to start with bryant street looking east. highlight features and benefits. focus is designing. bus yard to meet sfmta employee and neighbors. our design mitigates noise through a roof deck and building enclosure and key maintenance activities at grounds level in the facility. min tains public visibility muni operations remaining able to see them through a glass wall on establishth. employing wellness. inform light ground and parking level and out door space including a bbq. alines with the transit first policy. has no tenant parking.

>> last includes allow for a podium to build housing boost bus yard. >> now a bird's eye rue looking southeast where you better see our housing solution. housing proposal max housing in affordable giving constructability needs. the design guide lines and funning availability. restricts height and considered set becomes mitigate shadow on franklin square park and housing types to be income restrictive. potrero neighborhood sleshthive prosecute poses 513 units of affordable housing within 4 buildings dedicated to income restriction to leverage known funding opportunitiesful partnering with major's office of housing and appreciates commitment part of larger goal of developing 82,000 units over

and cultural benefits of open space. this credits a green corridor extends from franklin to the potrero yard. amenities the podium for all residence. a variety of haired amenities and thanks the opinion input in helping identify priors community gardening, fitness. safe and quiet spaces. >> now i want to show you the corners of the design and this we start with 17th street and bryant. this is an important corner connecting franklin park with the bus stop and bryant 27 liven ground level you see -- employee entrance with public strom and retail opportunities.

and the public visibility in the muni operations in the glass located on 17th. above grounds level for employees an employee out door space over looking franklin square park. and part of the city bike network you seat bike lanes it was a priority for potrero collective to explore possibilities of increasing bike lane and pedestrian safety on 17th. proposed with wide are operated bike lane protected by curbs and bulb outs at the intersection. mayor posa and new hampshire. here is where you see the bus entrance and exit. dedicateod mariposa no longer on 17th. prioritizes roadwayer safety removing the upon entrance. based on designs the upon analysis confirms the change to entrance is safe for both 40 and 60 foot bus.

additional low out door employee pace on the mezzanine at mayor posa and york street. m a final bird's eye rowel to show more franklin square to give more perspective on the housing solution. before i turn this become to the city team highlight 2 color to the risk factorsion than mentioned enter rate and construction costs. the last 10 years and the past 2 years rates are elevated with the fed look to combat high

inflation we hope they will come down. timing is uncertain. and ~esque ligz in the current environment construction design and supply chain and labor shortages are impacting construction costs initial low and felt in the bay area >> in closing before i go i want to restate our appreciation in selected sfmta partner. we are excite in the working with the sfmta in the city family to deliver this project. we appreciate the collaboration with the city team,ion than, kirstin and tim. now become over to jonathan. >> i did not pay him to thank us. i just work here. i do want to talk there is always talk on big projects like this. we should discuss it the project management and project management oversight this is a

follow up. request from the board. i adopt to note the feedback from this board integrate in the the project since november. the building ininauguration issues. celebrating the bus yard we have done that. the monopolying has changed based on feedback from this board. i think director yekutiel we had more than 20,000 square feet of commercial you will see that shrunk to small problem spaces and do this work to evaluate market conditions. as we get feedback we have made changes to the project and that's how these things should work this is an process and working well. again, this project is per of a mull departmental mou i serve as progress manager for the city. not only do we have a team of staff dedicated in the mta and staff from the department of public works u major's office of

economic and workforce development. major's office of housing the city planning department and the city attorney's office. i call them my supreme court of attorneys the people who are really looking out for the city and work. it it is an integrated team that takes advantage of the internal technical knowledge. that city employees bring. market and regulatory conscience. access to communities. considering the political requirement of a project this member from outside the region does not understand manage in and try to do a project of this scale within san francisco. what this allows us is to do rapid problem solving. it is how in just under 4 years now we have been able to take this project from a concept, get to near 100% design and eir drafted red to be approved by

planning. and the board of proirzs. special legislation to use this project delivery through the board of supervisors. we released afq and rfp in 4 years. the people the team get a lot of the credit for achieving that. this is the group of people. there are 20 team members wing on this project within the city of san francisco. i wanted their names on the slide they deserve to be recognized for the w they are doing. from the mayor's office of housing like aren't is amazing. an absolute expert. andments the housing to happen at this project. carroll wong. cylinder on city attorney team of you know i have had talks with them in the rain about person decisions around the various agreements getting each

of their add voice on how to take a next step or move it forward. we are technical advisors. sometimes we need technical consultants to support and enhance our ability to do work among staff and outside perspective and analysis. they have supported us in that. and tim kemp's our project manager at public works and john oshg brian supporting him. beeno out reach. an amazing team of people who have been dedicated to making this an example project for the city. of the city and cross the city. so congratulations to awful them. on the oversight to date. we are prepare to get in rfp on the street for project manager and oversight for the project. again, the thought with the pmoc provide afternoon inspect

property on the state project provide one to me and director tumlin in wrir we can improve project delivery or resources or management capacity standard. you have the general level of scope happy to take mead back now come some neurodate we're preparing that to go and security member to provide that independent review. i also hiring a project director. for this position. we got more than 40 applicants. i think than i are good and hope to have that person on full time by september. so this is on the hiring. and the team is help to take questions you may have. >> director. thank you. i will start the end. you are hiring a project director and manager.

are than i both necessary. >> the project management oversight consultant is independent of the project team and give you review of how the project team is doing and improvements med in the delivery of the project. >> we are hiring that team just for of the mta board to get a report? >> yes. jot mt aboard. i can give an estimate i guess 500 thousand dollars or less. do we have the authority to say you can give us the report and save that half million dollars this was a request from this board if you would like to with draw the request you may. i mean i feel like again we are trying to save money. would saves half noilgdz have a report from our own staff on a project we are managing. i would be happy to save helpful a million dollars this way. i want to put that out.

would we need to require a row? city attorney what would be the process. >> this item has been cal dares as a presentation information item. and so you cannot take action. at this meeting. with respect to the contract that has been discussed but you could direct staff to bring it become to you. is this person du say you are hiring this team now? >> we are preparing the rfp to go to the street to secure. >> it is not out yet. >> how many time do zee to say we have 1 million hole >> a consent item we hear next meeting. >> well, the process. jot my recommendation you get this update you mode to be satisfied that the project is well managed. the fta for any project of this

scale would hire a pmoc of their own knit to provide a similar rolism think you know >> define your terms when is the fta. federal transit administration. they are hiring their own pmoc. had they will do part of a project of this scale they would require a pmo be hired report to themful >> are you saying we have to hire this person can not just something this board is asking us. i'm saying that for a project of this scale it is one of the best practices. but again it is this board to decide a matter of policy whether or not this board asked in november we pursue this you may with draw the request. do you think we should, director tumlin? i think we can take feedback and potential low go and discuss

alternative approach and come become to you for potential action. i think probably the best way to do this is the project director is many to be our development director for the agency dot joint development work and this pda agreement an mta staff person to run it. 8100 plus people doing this this person is hired oui will be a quarter where i give a hor are update.

i foal empowered give this important 8 and updatings on how it is going. to me, i'm comfortable with that we with fwlang up as an with respect to vote on before the rfp goes out. >> great. until my logs have an issue with had. i only have 2 questions on design. one on the park that is within the project. i can imagine that manage that birch do this. who is here from the nonmta team that will build the thing? we gotten have one. this is the development team.

hi issue everyone. >> thank you. appreciate you thank you for sitting through 2-1/2 hours and allowing me a biobreak in between. i guess are you with the mta. no with [inaudible] project manager for the collective. how are you feeling now about this project? >> [laughter]. optimistic. >> we heard your presentation this is ultimate low a marriage and the wedding vows have been exchanged. honeymoon is over >> honeymoon, she's over. how do you foal. it has been 7 months of collaboration. with the sfmta with mohcd and all the city agencies. i think jonathan gave highlight in terms where we are with schedule and process. so to say that there is a lot of work done is correct. there is still a lot to do. throughout that process getting

feedback from everyone community, yourself and everyone in the process will help and make this a vehicleful project. there are questions this we are answering and progress to be made. today we are not done. we are optimist and i can mobilized. by the meeting and deliverables that the city have been changing well hen a lot of work has been doneful optimistic and energizeed continue. >> thank you. my fear about the project is that all the layers of bureaucracy and process and in municipality out reach required do anything bolted will be so xanzive this we get to a point the project does not work anymore. this is help with small

commercial spaces on the phone left night with machine thpts to open up a store now can't. rafters pulled out. that is my fear. this is mta and [inaudible] question when is our drop dead date. we heard your feedback we know what everyone want and going to do the thing. the past couple months we are getting feedback to design. this project is going forward this fall. then the board of proirz and on the schedule torcompleted with the project in 2027. this is a very learning project. we are on schedule. and i heard nothing yet today that will not tell me we will not stick to the schedule being complete by 2027.

do you agree? yea. we are on track to twp a number of things through this predevelopment phase. one of the sessions prior to entering the pda phase a question asked you are not entering in the project today or in november of 2022 you areern nothing i predevelopment fizz that gives the board and agencies the ability to opt out or make decisions along. you are and retain the rights and in terms of work being done. we are not there. i idea you agree on the big pieces of this mid way through the city does not muck around and make it cost 30% more and change the concement is this right in there are so the legislation we passed and the

requirements of the project first there being be no risk to the bus with regard it must be constructed. that's what i call guard rail in accomplice when we took the draft of the eir to planning there was no public comment. this was -- that was due again i would say this project because of the out roach we have done has mitigated the things that typically help on the back end and cause the risk i are talking about. so, we have been i showed the schedule today it is clear the steps we intend to take and what schedule if people want to talk to us long the way we will go to them. we will give them the opportunity but does not money we will change the schedule. out reach done by fall. that's when you go for the

regulatory approvals? that press is to be completed the next among or 2? >> regulatory approvals eir and entitlements in fall. you a design per that. >> within the predevelopment phase there are performance mile stones some are jonathan showed this. we are at 50%. we will progress this to 100% and parallel continue out roach and entitle am and eir certification they are happening in parallel. 100 scheme attic when? october. >> the fall. i only have a couple additions to that out reach. how about that one is the park in the mitts. obviously beautiful well is a large beautiful park next to the development in a housing crisis. is that required a park or a

green space. >> out door pace well is a park next door. there are development requirements do we need to have these park and these amenities the answer is no. we have flexibility to build more housing in place of the green space i think there are challenges there. one the open space is ment to complement the park. we don't have a soccer field an amenity for the residence denials of this site. to complement that is across the street. fleckable to say you want to build 50 more units can you value engine ear that out. you can always but the challenge we have is making sure the housing can work based on assumptions the housing we are propose to provide is different product types we have senior, family house and workforce.

when we are trying to do is respond to hat community needs in terms of we are not going to build 500 studios a mix of 2 and 3 bedroom. finding that we spot. we have a once in a century chance to build housing and i would like to mechanic myself as much within had the community thinks should be built there this community might change and handled years we need housing in the city. i just that was my reaction to that if build within00 more units in this green space as well their is a good park next door. the commercial space, i guess my reaction is the future of my opinion of san francisco ground floor commercial retail is motorcycle row space.

it is a hard environment i'm seeing areas flourishing where first time risk of verse mall business owners that want to put their name out and hang their shingle up it is easier to do it in 1500 area feet the pol is mauler for 5 or 10,000 square feet. if you can have the ground floor commercial able to be subdivided or flexibility that would go a long way to regular the folks take on the spaces we want to see open up mall businesses in the city in this neighborhood. the last thing is about that's it. on design. and then the commercial. that's t. thank you very much. appreciate it.

director heminger. i pose i had begin boy trying to provide reaushg surance to my colleague about the importance of hiring in project management oversight. jonathan it might be helpful as well to get your schedule slide back up on the screen. first, i think it is worth acknowledging i believe is this board approve third degree path with the pmo by unanimous vote. but circumstances can change special votes can change. in this case,ion than you

indicated that if this were an ft afunded project we would be required have a pmo not so we are not. is that correct? >> correct this is in the a federal roll funded project. i knowledge it is a best practice. that i have seen be valuable. and it is not an anybodying on the staff to have member looking over their shoulder. i always believed more then and there one set of eyeos i problem is better than having just one. and -- as you can see in the audience we have a formidable array of partners but they are coming to this project to achieve objectives. i think we need to be similarly armed. so, i do believe as well that whether it is 500,000 or less or more, that we have i error good

chance of making up that cost in the benefits and savings they could identify. in delivering the project. so -- if we are going to consider the idea again, that is find with me. i still continuing is a good idea. pursue an oversight. consultant. and my question to you ironically was going to be and i will still ask it, i'm interested, would it make more sense for that pmo to be hired a couple of steps observe we have a depicted on this screen? we have a couple bites at the apple before we hire the pmo, once on the finance plan and the other is on the project agreements. so would it be better to have the pmo add voice us on those

actions before we get to construction? >> that is an excellent question . i think this it is design build, finance, maintain those agreements where you get the pmo ~esque level reruis orbit city attorney. an inspect attorney. and we have our independent official review of project and design review. we have that city team and staff they are serving as our inspect pmo and get enemied analysis on the agreements between us and the team usa. had we can do is have them provide an inspect recommendation and review attached to the final calendar item for this board. but they are serving that function for this type of work or negotiating the housing agreement, financing agreement. the real estate agreements

associated with this. pmo in the traditional sense required is around construction. when we do is if we bring them in at the same time pnc is starting that subpackage review you get the value you are talking about. out of this team at that phase of the project. >> yea. and look i'm sympathetic to the point you make your point is look we got independents built in this proisz already. one concern is after several years of work here. people are invested. in a way of looking at the projects. they may be independent but they also may be got some tunnel vision about you know we are mart. we figured out the best way to do this is and that's the way we had move forward. and that may be the instance you

want to stop and say, wait. is this really the right approach. is well a different approach. would we be hiring this consummitant from operating or capital that is i hope a bit more reassurance we are not talking aboutut canning a bus line to hire these guys and will not rescue the bus line if we

don't. there was acknowledged the pot this the housing would have to drop off. that you know we are a trespassing agency. house is icing on the cake. it is not the cake. is this still the a fair reading of the project? i would say a fair reading of the process. that we laid out through the pda. that we have the ability to -- remove the housing if it poses a risk to the bus facility. which if it come to this through negotiation and as weityerate we

will the agency and the board have the option to do this. we med that clear at the board of supervisors partner and it it is part of the reason that we had this board approve the terms of the pd abefore we awarded it. they process allows for that. this is an america t aproject and the interest is first it is our property. this is also a project note instead housing element that was adopted by the mir and board in february. housing is a priority for the city and for the mayor. and e approximately workforce housing. one components we have in and working on is how can we make that workforce housing available to employees that require it to provide the services we want to provide. today the housing is in the scope. process allows for you to remove it. if it puts the bus yard at risk. mull we have been manage and

mitigating riskless. at that rate and you are right, certainly and i think that the bierd of proirzs and this board would like to see housing construct saidace sdrekt yekutiel said as muchs we can fit in. but when i worry about is if this becomes the over riding consideration. and we get it a point where we want to take it aside. that we may have powerful people who run or city saying, no you don't. that has an affect on the affordability of the whole earn've. join our project team it is part of the risk register we are managing and this is always a

challenge. with the city of tan san francisco multiple policy priorities who's win and when i can stop you to get motorbike so with it with the schedule, cope and cost and end up with when ween up with does not make everybody happy. what you noted saturday current challenge. and i can say this much without getting inure active negotiation. the integration of housing infrastructure and industrial bus yard infrastructure has been a design challenge oui have over come a design scale. when is proving difficult is infrastructure finance and housing financials. are different. there is a path to fully fund the complete project. the timing and the ininauguration of huthat work system a project risk this we are managing.

so. when we come become to the board we will give you options where wouldation. today based on all the risks the market risks the housing and infrastructure finance issues the design, we resolved we are sustaining scope as is today and largely on schedule >> when you say that housing and infrastructure are different can you be specific about when you mean? this deal is an availability payment structure. so the developer puts money out to build and then money back subject to maintaining the asset appropriate low. unless the reasonal income. you are sort of hitting at this time veil component is related our prescription and our

infrastructure. the bus yard the byc! the housing component independent of mta finance or us putting money that component. there are compossiblies of joint infrastructure we know exist like the podium that chris talked about. we are building it and something will go on top of it. housing finance is department on mull pull rounds of funding the transportation world you go in. get the new start award and appropriations but you got your award. with houseings you go in multiple times to build update amount necessary to construct the project. with affordable housing. we had not contemplated that when we got married. that is manage we are working through now to figure out who to make that work. again the scope the 513 units

are in the scope of the project. helpful if i can have the slide up with the interest rates. get sam up here. >> the question is and i mean crowd form the question is where on the charts. correct me if i got it wrong. you know you were hopeful that the rates would come down. is the success of this deal department on rates coming down.

there are 2 compossiblies from house and bus stand point. i think base interest rates applied how does and bus yard. to answer. i am ambitious the rates will in down not to that level but say that the bus yard the interest rates it is interest rates dropping. no. it becomes a higher interest rates means higher cost capitol. whatever the out committee cost for the sfmta and the city. a question for the city, more expensive today if rates are 2% higher then and there yesterday that is not for the housing the bus yard compossibly. on housing that could be a different case.

there are a number of different sources required and funding constraints that tie into housing. each the 4 housing components are treated 4 different financing this come on line at different times. you look at it the schedule like that, it is figuring out when the right time is to hit financial. >> is it possible instead of 4 globs of housing that we would build 3 or 2? >> yea. i thank you is possible. each. they are each tailored to a different slois of the market >> workforce has itself funding sources and family house and senior housing have their's. they are subject to different sources to achieve that financing. why i'm sorry i didn't ask earlier. but i don't think you need a slide you got a good memory when does the housing decision get

made go or no go? is this a financial close? or earlier? or what? >> so, that is a good upon one. at we are designing for flexibility that's all i will say. we are going to entitle all of the housing. which allows the ability to build all the housing we are shown you today. at official close, material be a timing conversation. that we are still wing through and can't answer in detail now. because of the market we made initial thoughts about how this would work. mark conscience turnd that to a risk and challenge. and you modify come up with

creatived yes on how this might be resolved we are negotiating now. do we need some resolution on this question before we start building the bus yard in don't you have kruck issues that could be affected which way that decision guess in the design allows for flexibility. we are one of. build the podium and motive not build manage on top? that's interesting we are negotiated through that and designing options depending how the market shakes out when we are trying to do is design it in a way the housing is always possible to be constructed. >> okay that ksdz involve retroin? builted bus yard and five years later housing on it? >> maximum flexibility. >> okay yoochl thank you madam

chair. >> thank you director. director hinze do you have question in yea you know i don't think i have too much to add. my fellow colleagues poke to all of my concerns regarding the uses and et cetera. i will weigh in on the pm oshg discussion and will not be long since that is in the realm in our agenda scope for the day. i do think director heminger given our [inaudible] learning capitol projects i think -- some inspect oversight on something that we could public low have for another hundred years would not hurt. >> we can have that conversation

at another meeting in terms of the design and the housing i think director heminger and director heminger and if yekutiel covered what i was going to ask. >> thank you director hinze. direct yekutiel i see you in the queue. >> yes. i remembered what that third peeves design feedback or request i had and amed ask. the parking lot thing a bunch of earlies about the house and no ping lot. i'm not saying i think there should be one but you said you are useings also the reokays to the project to help design the final scheme attics. what was your reaction to that feedback. what is our response to the 600.

it ranges i think it is question is, line with the transit first policy in the city as well as is a question, cost is a factor and want on maximize afford at and housing on the site. a question was do we build if the decision is can we build parking do we at the cost of increasing the cost for housing. is there are already challenges for housing. with interest rates and construction. so the goal for us is to how do we mack myself housing up to 575 units that allowed on the site. but to answer your question we are received feedback from a range of we want parking and no park we continue to emphasize the plan we are putting forward to try to mitigate against the

occurrence. >> another major dense cities. and then the last question i had, 16th and mission there is that development the fordable housing development but because it took so long for them to get their money order, oh. there was a thing where a period of time that they have to get financing and all the financialsing has to line up if it does not line up it can't get b. years later we have a vacant wall greens and et cetera and so on and it is terrible. one have you been, i continuing is meta.

if took long to get it matched and up made it take an extra 2 i think 3 years it get this this point where they can find the developer. how do we avoid this on this project to not have this year's long delay >> that could happen example that one of the project risks we are working toward now. and will be those are -- terms negotiated. i don't understand. so, yes, that problem could occur. and we are in active negotiations around that topic so we can't discuss them. having our developer in hand

helping make that less like low to happen? yes we than is a potential problem and we actively have meetings to talk about how we mitigate it or do or how we would design the project to assume this could be a scenario. i know it is city owned land now and this is city owned land. anyway to talk to whenever offices run thanksgiving project to make sure yoochl mohcd, eric in >> yea. >> we are talking and doing everything we can to not repeat that issue. >> yep. >> thank you. >> we have weekly meeting to talk funding for housing. >> great. >> thank you director. i do have a couple questions. thank you for your presentation. i did on the parking piece this

fall in thes park management project i'm sure is creating bake nothing a park solution for us. can you speak about how those 2 are peek to one another. >> that is a great question. at the neighborhood working group, like this question has come up about how we are most low original residential park and the number of people added to the general area based on existing parking capacity. we had the entire park team working on that have a session with the neighborhood working fwroup to talk about when they are doing. and director tumlin is pro to chime in the position of the agency is we are managing parking as in any other part of the city. again, kin with transit first hat city wants with housing the planning code does not require residential parking. in a project of this typeful

sticking with transit first principles they are not designed in the project. however, to manage park capacity and demand as the mta we are working on northeast mission parking management plan plus there are other althoughives near by where we think we can enter in per inships parking capacity exists. we need to find a way to make it acsiszable to the residents and the people of that neighborhood. so. that is going to be a unique and different process for us we are committed to again, based on demand meet the transportation needs for the residents that will live there and the nishgdz in which the if sillity will exist. if you want to add anything,iest. no that it is a factor for those workforce housing and affordable. i know the community has enengageod this top and i can

coming up with solutions with our team that's great to hear they are speak. i wanted take a deep dive and drill down on the lbe plan. if you can walk me through what the lb e plan is in it is one of the perform mile stone in the predevelopment phase. its a plan that lays out how we will enengage with local business and hire policies during the post, predevelopment fizz this plan is in draft form. and urn review by sfmta to approve. having said this, a lot of thing in the project things are move nothing parallel we are not pausing anything but that plan helps approach for negotiate with accidents we startd that process. we are focused on when they could be for the project whether

design, construction, maintenance. as well as focus on microlbe's. >> and i heard you call up the an fran latino and black builder association. and so i adopt to know the how than i are involved in the creation of this plan? are you engaging them before it goes public inmented to understand the out reach. >> i don't think we engaged with them part of drafting that plan they are one of the person stake holders we will reachow and continue to as we evolve. the lb e plan i don't know if my colleagues can peek to engagement? good afternoon i'm carroll davis with dna communication and helping the project on the lb e engage am working closely with

the latino and black contractor around making sure their input is in the draft at the final draft before completed. i think it is important to understand what their priorities are. what the goals for for the neighborhood. a mall business microbusinesses in san francisco in participation. we are working with [inaudible]. >> great. and i say this because i received feedback from the group. and other microlbe's they are seek to be more engaged in the process. i believe that now i'm not sure who they are talking with the addressing the felonies of stale meat in part of the drafting of the plan i encourage folks to millennium it and close that communication loop. a bunch out reach processing we

are done internal low we try to prioritize as much as possible to work with the commune as we draft to get ahead of a lot of the miscommunications and things that occur when that does not happen as much as we can get ahead i encourage the team to do this. thank you. why we are doing that. we are eighty-one meeting so far andet going the draft back and they will be wing in during that process. i hear a commitment from you. i appreciate. why absolutely. i'm a mall business owner as well. and lbe i know how important it is to ensure the participation is well. >> absolutely. thank you very much. i did also want to concur with my colleague director yekutiel on the size of the commercial units as much as possible we zone for mack flexibility as well. i think it is i'm not sure if we will give folks a shell when they operate there.

but i think if we participate the different uses of the pace and design it that would be fundamental to our mall accident community. it is a community now struggling and so adaptability is key to succeed. >> absolutely. thank you. >> all right. let's see. we can open up for public comment. is there any public comment on this item in the room? >> thanks again. chair cajina. she and her. this is one of the things i came to the meeting for today. irrelevant first and foremost i want the best bus yard this we can have. 1915 is pretty old.

grand 7 roll in new york opens in 1913. gives you an idea. and so -- really first and foremost it is about getting the best electrified bus yard. have enough room to store vehicles for our future. have to make sure that always come first and housing is important. no one should worry about a place to live.

we can do housing but mack myself the number of units of housing. . because -- i don't want to slope in the grass. no one should worry about this we need to have housing -- built on the site. >> thank you. >> du prix. other comments? we will move to remote comment. members wishing to comment dial star 3. each will have 2 minutes.

first speaker. can you repeat this in we didn't hear you? we are doing public comment for item 13. >> members wishing. >> can i peek you motive want to mute. >> ivement to push microlb e requirements on the project. it important this the local businesses here in san francisco get a chance of this project we

mode to make sure we are pushing the local requirements. s next speaker, please. i robbery listening to you, commissioners. go ahead. and i think a lot of discussion that you have should be off line. with experts. you like to go in circles so if you electric at your entire discussion well is very little when it come to quality standards regarding housing.

and -- for machine to say because they have land we need a lot of housing -- that statement is a foolish statementful you are dealing with climate change. where are we getting the water from? how are we going to cater to the energy when they are building a substation close by? had about liquid and flooding. what the hell do y'all know about the things that were there that potrero this and polluted the bay and the land and don't know what has to be doneful those other things you have to be careful about. buffer talk about housing. >> 30 seconds >> you want to know about

housing, various ways of dealing with housing now. the design build is like primitive. there are different types of techniques now to bell housing. fabricated models you need leadership. >> thank you your time is up. >> we have no additional speakers. >> thank you secretary silva. we will now close this item since there is no action. thank you, clothes, staff and members of public. we are now adjourned. the next meeting on june 30 and july 18th. >> thank you. clear clear

>> you are watching san francisco rising. today's special guest is jeff tomlin.

>> hi. you are watching san francisco rising. to show that is focused on restarting, rebuilding, and reimagining our city. our guest today is the director transportation of the sfmta and he's with us to talk about the agency's 23-24 budget with the muni equity strategy and new projects across the city. welcome to the show. >> thank you it is good to be here. >> i see the sfmta's budget for 2023 and 2024 has been approved. how will it help provide a strong recovery during the next few years for our riders, operators and staff? >> it has been a challenging couple of years. covid wiped out the basic finances. our agency is funded primarily from transit fares, parking fees and a fixed set aside for a general fund and covid has meant we have lost more than half of our parking and transit for revenue.

we are not expected to recover them until 2027. this budget takes a one-time federal release funding and spreads that out between now and 2025. and our task is to rebuild trust with the voters that sfmta can actually deliver on their goals and that includes things like making muni faster, more frequent, and more reliable. includes making our streets safer and making everyone feel safe riding the bus. it means taking advantage of the amount of change we're going to experience in order to advance equity so that we invents -- invest the most amount of money in communities that need our services the most. it also means supporting san francisco in its larger economic recovery. basically two years between now and 2024 in order to build trust with the voters and figure out how are we going to find muni

moving forward because it is in 2024 and 2025 when the one-time federal release fund went out. >> are you planning on starting up? >> as a result of covid, we have 1,000 vacancies in the organization. that is why muni service is not fully recovered. this budget allows us to fully staff through 2024, which means we can restore muni service, invest in safety, and invest in other programs in order to make the transportation system work better for everyone. >> can you talk about the mooney service equity strategies? as you move out of the pandemic, how has that plan been updated? i have heard there are elevator upgrades in progress. >> we have been working a lot on equity during muni's recovery. we have been basing our work on the muni equity strategy. this is the plan we update every two years that looks at the changing demographics of san

francisco and helps us direct our transit resources where people need it the most. that means people with low income, people of color, seniors, people with disability, children, all the folks who have the fewest choices. during covid, when we had to strip back the transit system, 13 quarters of the workforce were in quarantine, we directed all of the agency's resources to the equity neighborhoods. places like the bayview, chinatown, the mission, the valley, and even through our recovery, we have continued to deliver the best muni service's so -- to the neighborhoods that need it the most. right now we are still operating more frequent service in core lines in equity neighborhoods than we did precovid. and the result of that is extraordinarily high ridership.

we are finding, for example, by investing in the frequency and reliability on lines like the 22 fillmore, that we are getting 133% of precovid ridership, even when the overall system is only at about half of the ridership recovery. that is 133%. that is on weekends. we are at about 96% of precovid ridership on our main equity lines on weekdays. we're also investing a whole variety of infrastructure projects aimed at making transit work better, particularly for people with disabilities. on the market street corridor, our elevators to the subway station date back to the 1970s and need significant renovation. right now we are busy working on renovating the elevators at the station. we have completed the elevator upgrade for the eastbound platform. we are now working on the westbound platform. that will modernize the

elevators and make them a lot more reliable, and make sure that we can continue to prioritize people with the fewest mobility choices. >> that's great. changing topics slightly, i understand the improvement project is halfway completed. have shared spaces made the product -- project more complicated? >> yes. lots of things have made the terminal project more complicated, including things like covid and supply chain issues. we learned a lot on the first phase of the terra vale project, which rebuilt the street from sunset boulevard to the zoo, including rebuilding all the infrastructure of the streets, the underground utilities, to modernize all that infrastructure and make it more resilient, and make sure that we do not have to rebuild the street, hopefully in any of our lifetimes. we also learned about the importance of collaborating, particularly with neighborhood businesses and residents. we want to make sure that we are

constructing the city's infrastructure in a time that the city is suffering and we are not adding to suffering. we're doing things like partnering with the mayor's office of economic workforce development to support neighborhood businesses through programming during this time. we are also making sure that businesses that create shared spaces in the parking lane, some of those need to be moved out of the way while the utility work is done underneath them. we are making sure that we will either move those platforms and outdoor eating areas back as they were, or help local merchants rebuild them so that we are not adding to the burden of local businesses and that we help everyone recover in this challenging time. >> quite right. finally, many of the sfmta vision zero quick build projects have been well received. can you talk about the evans street project? >> one of the things we did during covid was dramatically

expand the rate of what we call quick build projects, which are fast-moving projects using simple and cheap materials in order to redesign streets and test out new ideas and see how they work, as well as get a lot of feedback from community before moving into a larger capital project that converts all of that plastic stuff into concrete and trees and, you know, curb extensions. what we have been finding is that our quick build safety projects are able to cut severe injury and fatalities between 25 and 75%, depending upon the location on the techniques that we use. so we are targeting streets that have the highest rate of traffic crashes, particularly injury crashes and fatalities. we focused on evans, which is really important connector for all modes of transportation

between the bayview and the central neighborhoods of san francisco. also a street with a terrible track record of severe crashes. on evans, what we are doing, again using paint and plastic posts for the time being, is taking the lanes that are out there right now, and converting them to one lane in each direction plus turn pockets. what we found on streets like valencia or south bend this, or -- south van nass, is a street with one lane in each direction plus a term pocket can move just as much traffic as a street with two lanes in each direction. left turning vehicles mean the two lanes of traffic are never really available for through traffic. these road diets that we do have been tremendously effective for improving safety outcomes for all road users, without exacerbating traffic. they do make all cars slow down

to the speed of the most prudent driver. this week we are getting started in partnership with the department of public works on work to restripe all of evans between third and cesar chavez, and as part of this work will be collecting a lot of data, talking to industrial users in the industrial district and talking to folks in the bayview commercial district and in the mission about how it is working. we will make some adjustments along the way and if it is successful, then we will start another project that is more capital-intensive to make it permanent. if it is not successful, we will turn it back the way that it was, having spent very little money. >> thank you so much. i really appreciate you coming on the show. thank you for the time you have given us today. >> it has been great being here. thank you so much. >> that is it for this episode. we will be back shortly.

you have been watching san francisco rising. thank you for watching. [♪♪♪] [music] >> welcome to the 2022 sfmta bus roadeo. today what we will see is competitions of different levels. we will see transit operators through a obstacle course. also see the office rfs maneuver the g4 cars through a course. (inaudible) [beeping] then also have a element of (inaudible) who are doing inspections and repairs and some of the equipment

related to our buses. [applause] >> i enjoy coming to the event because of the camaraderie with the staff and seeing the departments and everybody meeting arfbd so the more we can do these things the better we'll be and it helps the agency grow. >> the winner of the local bus roadeo the person goes to the national (inaudible) one additional item we add to the event and call it a fun event where managers at the senior level get to test their skills operating a bus. (inaudible) transfer officers (inaudible) basically maneuver the course and they (inaudible) >> interesting to see some of the main managers run the course out there. they haven't had as much experience but they

did pretty well. i'll submit the bus damage for the bumps they did to the body shop for estimates. [applause] >> behind us we have vintage buses that were brought out for folks to see. some of these vintage buses are sfmta, part of the historical fleet. two others belong to the pacific bus museum and a personal bus of a individual that owns it. we take great pride in the historical buses we have and try to keep it up to date. >> it is a way to bring employees together, work together as a team. a great morale booster something the employees have been asking for a year and it is great today because you can see how happy they were to once again do something they really enjoy.

[cheering] >> first place (inaudible) [applause] third place goes to monica collins. (inaudible) >> this is my last roadeo. i'm throwing in the towel. >> who doesn't love cable cars? charging emissions and we're free which we're proud of you know, it's not much free left in the world anymore so we managed to do that through donations and through our gift shops. you got a real look and real appreciation of what early transit systems are like. this was the transit of the day from about 1875 to about 1893 or later, you know. cable car

museum is free, come on in. take a day. come down. rediscover the city. you can spend as time you want and you don't have to make reservations and it's important to be free because we want them to develop a love for cable cars so they do continue to support whether they live here or other places and people come in and say, yes, i have passed by and heard of this and never come in and they always enjoy themselves. people love cable cars and there's none left in the world so if you want to ride a cable car, you've got to come to san francisco. that what makes the city. without the cable cars, you lose part of that, you know, because people who come here and they love it and they love the history ask they can ride a cable car that has been running since 1888 or 1889. wow! that's something. can't do that with other historical museums. rarely, have i run into anybody from outside who didn't come in and didn't feel better from knowing something about the city. it's a true experience you'll remember.

i hope they walk away with a greater appreciation for the history, with the mechanics with people are fascinated by the winding machine and i hope the appreciation, which is a part of our mission and these young kids will appreciate cable cars and the ones who live here and other places, they can make sure there will always be cable cars in san francisco because once they are gone, they are gone. it's the heartbeat of san francisco that founded the cable and the slot and without the cable cars, yeah, we would lose something in san francisco. we would lose part of its heart and soul. it wouldn't be san francisco without cable cars. [bell ringing] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> so i grew up in cambridge, massachusetts and i was very fortunate to meet my future

wife, now my wife while we were both attending graduate school at m.i.t., studying urban planning. so this is her hometown. so, we fell in love and moved to her city. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> i was introduced to this part of town while working on a campaign for gavin, who is running for mayor. i was one of the organizers out here and i met the people and i fell in love with them in the neighborhood. so it also was a place in the city that at the time that i could afford to buy a home and i wanted to own my own home. this is where we laid down our roots like many people in this neighborhood and we started our family and this is where we are going to be. i mean we are the part of san francisco.

it's the two neighborhoods with the most children under the age of 18. everybody likes to talk about how san francisco is not family-friendly, there are not a lot of children and families. we have predominately single family homes. as i said, people move here to buy their first home, maybe with multiple family members or multiple families in the same home and they laid down their roots. [♪♪♪] >> it's different because again, we have little small storefronts. we don't have light industrial space or space where you can build high-rises or large office buildings. so the tech boom will never hit our neighborhood in that way when it comes to jobs. >> turkey, cheddar, avocado,

lettuce and mayo, and little bit of mustard. that's my usual. >> mike is the owner, born and bred in the neighborhood. he worked in the drugstore forever. he saved his money and opened up his own spot. we're always going to support home grown businesses and he spent generations living in this part of town, focusing on the family, and the vibe is great and people feel at home. it's like a little community gathering spot. >> this is the part of the city with a small town feel. a lot of mom and pop businesses, a lot of family run businesses. there is a conversation on whether starbucks would come in. i think there are some people that would embrace that. i think there are others that

would prefer that not to be. i think we moved beyond that conversation. i think where we are now, we really want to enhance and embrace and encourage the businesses and small businesses that we have here. in fact, it's more of a mom and pop style business. i think at the end of the day, what we're really trying to do is encourage and embrace the diversity and enhance that diversity of businesses we already have. we're the only supervisor in the city that has a permanent district office. a lot of folks use cafes or use offices or different places, but i want out and was able to raise money and open up a spot that we could pay for. i'm very fortunate to have that. >> hi, good to see you. just wanted to say hi, hi to the owner, see how he's doing. everything okay? >> yeah.

>> good. >> we spend the entire day in the district so we can talk to constituents and talk to small businesses. we put money in the budget so you guys could be out here. this is like a commercial corridor, so they focus on cleaning the streets and it made a significant impact as you can see. what an improvement it has made to have you guys out here. >> for sure. >> we have a significantly diverse neighborhood and population. so i think that's the richness of the mission and it always has been. it's what made me fall in love with this neighborhood and why i love it so much. .

[applause] >> good morning everybody. good morning, it will work better to hold this. (indiscernible) it is 5 after 12. this is the last time stopped this long was the 1906 earthquake. it is in fact 11 o'clock, so we are starting. i want to welcome everybody here. i'm the rick the president of market street railway, a non profit muni's preservation partner. we get no government funding. we depend on donations from individuals and businesses who love and benefit from the historic cars that run on market street which we brought back 40 years ago, and the cae
