who is - how are you planning to spend it. >> the study is led by sfmta we have the project manager and some of the work will be sent out to other agencies so some of the economic development work b will be sent out to other departments we have traffic forecasting models and the ridership of this extension and doing the back of the envelope for the competitive rating will be done at the mta itself all 3 agencies will be reviewing each others work for the construction ability and for the economic condition analysis. >> so the hundred dollars 73 thousand how is it broke down. >> between the two agencies i don't know but there will be $50,000 for a consultant and $30,000 for the impounded to do the economic analysis and my apologizes i don't have the entire packet. >> how are you selecting compounds? due to the timing of the study and the small nature of the task orders we're going to use the transportation authorities tool which have gone through the procurement process already >> another question in terms of if there are specific items or options that members of the contingent want the a

i want to thank all the companies with working with our sfmta and the mayor to get it right. we're going to get it right and that work will help us to grow as a 21st century. it's fitting in this press conventions you have mayor ed lee and other supervisors we will l be asking voters to help are the infrastructure. i want to thank the technology companies and the world leading companies who are helping us and i know they'll be working side to side with us to make sure we're building a transit system for san francisco. so thank you very much for being here (clapping.) thank you, president chiu were. one of the representatives supervisor weiner not only represents the district of people who are benefiting but he's become one the regions strongest voices. he's one of the cities representatives on the city commission and he was in the task force and has become an advocate for muni and transportation he's not miscarried to take on difficult issues and this one fits the bill i'm happy to be joined by supervisor weiner (clapping.) so as ed noted district 8 which is the castro and pa

at this stage we transfer the leadership to sfmta. that will take us past july of next year to do the study report this is a caltrain's facility and diverse time to answer questions before we enter the environmental control phase. you've approved the prop k. i defer to the chair how he wants to proceed with the partners remarks >> we can probably squeeze them in but be as brief as possible and i have a number of cards to call as well. i see bert from park merced and others >> i'm jason from san francisco university i'll be brief and support my support my gratitude to the staff for leading this collaboration. >> good morning commissions i'm bert i'm here representing park merced. the park merced long-range plan was for the inception of the study we've been supporting this study financially and prarpgs in the sessions. the adaptation will be transformative for the west side of the city improving muni operations and pedestrian safety i'd like to thank the gentleman and to chester fong and tilting and others and the mayor's office for the

there will be an sfmta hearing in this room tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. for the issues. given this hearing is about the eir which is an informational document that serves to inform the commissioners the mayors t e p will the addressed at the hearing tomorrow morning. i want to spend time to remind you of the description about program and project level review and going go over the significant impacts. the eir provides an evaluation that sets forth the service delivery to support of sfmta goals it includes the service variance that is changes to reroutes and routes elimination and capital improvements which are needed to support of the service improvements and refer to capital xhochltsz those are not major but economist of the overhead wires and transit 7, 8, 9 reduction professionals or t t rps to reduce the transit traffic time. the mta has applied the t p.s. tool kit. the tool kits consisted of installing pedestrian lights and transit only lanes and one example is the pilot on church street between 16th street. the corridor is identified includes the routes that care of

the sfmta is a supports vision zero. [speaker not understood]. we have already established a vision zero steering committee and task force. one of these committees is a city staff only committee to really analyze the question and figure out who all the players are involved and then there will be a larger group that would include member of the public. this process mirrors really the success we had with our pedestrian strategy and our walk first initiative. there is a question posed to the sfmta how would one, you know, reduce the number of fatal crashes in five years and we brought everybody together to determine data a nail sis we put forth the answer with walk first. now, we have a new question pose today us. how do he we bring all that down to zero. it's a big question. it's nothing that i can answer easily on how actually the city every single corner and agency of the city is partnering together to deliver that. so, right now our first step is to help answer that question and then continue to work on every single day to bring solutionses for t

so the projected cost by the sfmta is just over $1 million dollars per year. but as we saw in the free muni for youth estimated cost the projected cost was over double, what the actual result was, and so the only way to have a sure estimate of the cost of the program will be to see and do an evaluation after one year. >> did you hear that commissioner murase? >> yes. i do. and am i correct to understand that this will also be income tax? >> could you repeat your question? >> is this also for low income 18-year-olds? >> as opposed to all 100 percent of 18-year-olds? >> student delegates? >> yes, it is, it is for all low income youth below the median income line. >> yes, commissioner murase, low income youth, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> any more questions, or comments from the board? >> okay. and i also thank the student delegates for bringing this forward and my son, turned 18 in december, before his graduating year and yes, it is expensive to buy him an adult card. so i think that we are ready for a roll call vote. >> miss wei? >> yes >> logan. >> ye

how to do business at sfmta. they not only have done that part of the work, but they continue to mentor and support these businesses. they sit down with them, give them their time, answer questions, try to help facilitate them into bureaucracy of our government departments. and they have just been one great partner. you have helped to make this program a success. your role here is very vital, very important. you're the ones that the contractors will see. and you've been most supportive and quite effective in what you've done, and i thank you. it's with all my love and support and heart felt welcome. thank you. and i just want to say sheila and i have worked -- she works miracles with the dbe and the certification and all of that, and she's organized with it. when i get a problem, i just send them to sheila. [laughter] >> and she never complains except when she's on her vacation. [laughter] >> get her before she takes her vacation to baltimore. other than that, she will hold your hand. and i tell you, the dbe cert

cents for single riders and zero to 23 dollars for unlimited use, monthly passes and whereas, the sfmta currently defined the youth as being between the ages of five and 17, despite 18-year-olds making up approximately 3,000 of 4,014 high school seniors in the sfusd and whereas there are also approximately 418-year-old high school students in sfusd county schools and even more 18-year-olds enrolled in private schools in san francisco. and whereas 18-year-old high school students do not qualify for the aforementioned discounted fares and must pay $2 for single transfers and additional $1.25 per ride. 66 dollars for passes and additional 43 dollars to 66 per month. and whereas the sfmta youth rate is designed to encourage the youth riders to use the public transportation and whereas there are many low income young people in san francisco, for example, of the 57,860 students enrolled in the san francisco school district, 62 percent qualified for free or reduced lunch. and do we do the whole thing? >> i guess. >> and whereas, resolutions adopted by the san francisco youth commission have al

any members of the public wishing to make a comment on the sfmta draft cip? seeing none, public comment is closed. there is no action item. any other comments? >> through the president, i have one question >> okay. >> so any of the capital improvement projects, especially in our merchant corridor areas that might involve digging up the streets or revisions, will you have a place on the website that sort of says, you know, coming in 2014, these areas? just so that merchant groups have a place to go and refer back to or business organizations? >> yes. we will be developing a tool on our website, for larger projects, i believe -- if it's a large project it will have a specific website devoted to that project, but we'll also be developing a tool for people to leave comments on specific projects. >> i know that the castro street widening we have one of those and it started last week and it's already being used for comments back and forth and it's actually working good. commissioner dooley? >> i wanted to say i really appreciate saying working on the outreach. i am

this incrimination recommends the sfmta fund to have 5 hundred bikes in san francisco and a thousand through the system. we've learned from the pilot there's more than 90 percent of transportation is in san francisco it's a good place for bike sharing and as mentioned the organizational structure of the permanent structure is under deliberations and this is the best time to have the conversation. another thing to emphasize is recreational bike sharing is good for san francisco and a strong bike sharing in san francisco will be good for the region. and see the nature of the f ar there's two key indemnities the first is the infrastructure and good afternoon, everyone. how local the administration and transportation will be done vs. a centralized model. everybody don't their own thing a nate's that's not the thing to look at we want to see the standards here. on the other extreme is the air district the regional district controls the funding to make sure the system st. is moving forward and the hybrid model in between there the second access is who's going be to operating open a local l

. >> i'll be the ultimate operator bay keith from the sfmta who is the project manager for bike sharing in san francisco, california answer your questions. >> and mr. schorts in mexico city is that nonprofit with the private sector partner; is that correct is are they in mexico city. >> my impression is that mexico that's right that is a private entity that's operating it with strong government oversight. even when it's totally private there's a entity whether you're going to charge for the space that has parking spaces or car right-of-way is donated by the private sector. >> and that's private nonprofit in mexico city or a distinction between - my it's a slightly different structure but that's right it's a private nonprofit it's eco b.c. who won of their missions is to operate it bike sharing system i should note we're a union structure to do the recreational bike sharing into in the washington, d.c. area and the boston area those are the publicly administered models where a private vendor operates the system. and so the way we evaluate the model vs. public and private the 4 main goals

who are co-chairing the task force to speak first and then we do have falita ren olds from sfmta, and commander alli and i see rebecca from the district attorney office and then john white to speak on the education piece. i asked to not have a closing, and so we will take that out and we will try to do that concisely and i know that many members of the public were not able to stay this among for the hearing so we might have a shorter public comment section, but we will be bringing this item back. and after the resolution, because we plan to codify the aspects into the ordinance so there will be many more opportunities to have a robust and significant discussion on this item. but again, thank you for your patience, and i appreciate our department staff members understanding our time constraints today. i appreciate to to make it to the point. >> i am with the department of public hel and this co-chairing with the pedestrian an safety now, vision zero city wide task force. >> it is about saving life as the highest priority and as we move forward, to address us as a city, we are also goin

we've been working with sfmta in the past year to find ways to meet this challenge of finding ways to get our employees to our canvassing campus in south san francisco and do it in a way that supports sfmta and works in compliments with the public transmission. our program started in 2006 and the primarily goal of our program was to encourage pleasing employees to stop driving to work alone by themselves in their car. over the past 6 or seven years we've had sdhek program and eliminated over 5 thousand car trips 0 over the roads our employees take the bart and the ferry to get to the offices in san francisco. our employees get to work and it reduced traffic in san francisco and in the community as well as reducing our cartoonish emissions. we enjoy you a partnership with sfmta and we're hopefully, this program will move us forward. thank you (clapping.) thank you and while >> you can see there's a lot of companies that have been part of this. people refer to this as google buses google is only one of the larger companies we're happy to have google here and 53 we have very sincerely, c

our transportation authority staff were also busy working and meeting with the counter parks at the sfmta the department of public health and the police department to prepare for the upcoming hears at the neighborhood service and safety committee and other venues, i also wanted to congratulate the staff and obtaining a grant that would allow one of our senior planners, pedestrian, safety expert to travel to washington, d.c. to participate in a pedestrian injury prevention action team training program as part of a five-member team representing the state of california. and the team includes the department of health and cal transas well as our own san francisco department of health and it allows us to publicize our city's straggy at the state and national level as well as provide a valuable training opportunity for our staff this concludes my report. thank you. >> we can go on to public comment. >> we will close public comment. i just want to follow up and it was just wonderful to get that street officially reopened and i want to, you know, congratulate, really everyone who was involved incl

we saw a presentation around north america and know you have to get their hands dirty the sfmta will have brainstorming groups how to solve the issue of bike sharing throughout the region it will take effort it's a challenge for the bicycle mode in general. there are by the evidence practices for those systems some thanksgiving things we've heard there are developers who want to write cheese cakes so their you currently is not a mechanism to achieve the funds so there has to be dedicated staff and mechanisms to make sure that can happen. we talked with the biefk rental folks and they're separate markets we believe but we need to marry they're clearly defined but the bike sharing is a short-term point to point use of the bicycle. finally there's this use even if public investment saying oh, bicycle sharing takes care of of itself are there's always a public investment if we're trying to define this this will define what is the prompt perspective 0 level of the public involvement. so with that, the next steps the sfmta is realized we'll be incorporating the feedback and bringing a fina

we enjoy you a partnership with sfmta and we're hopefully, this program will move us forward. thank you (clapping.) thank you and while >> you can see there's a lot of companies that have been part of this. people refer to this as google buses google is only one of the larger companies we're happy to have google here and 53 we have very sincerely, can here for google >> thank you i'd like to start out by thanking all the folks involved in moving forward this project. thank you to mayor ed lee and edward reiskin. google is excited to be working with you and members of the community of the shared goal even if minnesota transportation around the bay area. we see this as a great step for partnership in the years ahead. as a current resident i appreciate all the work go that's making this better around san francisco and across the bay area and you have the folks in this room to thank for that so thank you (clapping.) >> okay. before we open it up to questions i want to acknowledge the woman who was spear heat the work working with the folks at the muni and our it people and all the

sfmta. the issuance of our special traffic permit is based on the request from the contractor to close 1 traffic lane for the purposes of their construction work in the removal of trees. as i mentioned at the previous hearing before you that the permit was prepared under the guidance and review of licensed engineers the traffic control environment to address the pedestrian and traffic through this area is consistent with the local and state standards that's a supplemental permit to any permit that's required by other city develops for the contractors to pull if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comment on this item? >> kathy partner 25 years in horizontal. on october 23rd we wrote to the planning commission feeling that the eir had been violated we heard nothing. finally february 27th our supervisor at a meeting on saturday said we've heard from planning there's no violation nothing written just through our supervisor. i called pla

my name is neil patel, liaison from the sfmta. i just wanted to provide a follow-up on a few items that we've been working on in the last sick months since we he last spoke. one has been around data. as you might know, we have done a tremendous amount of work and collaboration with the public health department on analyzing where and why pedestrian safety [speaker not understood] are happening. that work has now extended over into bicycle safety crash analysis. so, this week we should be finalizing a map showing our high injury corridor for bicycle crashes in san francisco. what streets they're happening on and what intersections are they happening on most. so, we're just going through final internal review and should be able to sign off on that relatively soon. and that would dictate our work, our capital efforts in the coming years where we prioritize our safety improvements. we also have partnered with the mayor's office on the look twice campaign and this is a general safety message that goes out to all the people that are movi

process i want to thank that staff and our real efforts there's safety and engineering and at the sfmta we play a supporting role and that's in improvement we can there's a lot we can do with the data we have and a lot we can do to design our streets better a lot we can do to make more people aware everyone needs to not pay attention to trodden device but need to make sure that people are following the laws that's one of the most important things we can do to make the roads safer. the chief behind that for the has been helped by board of supervisors that have added police academies but the leadership to deploy those leaderships to make sure we're endorsing the laws is being done very well by our chief of police chief suhr >> i too want to echo the support i get from all the people behind me our mayor number one priority is our roads are safety i can't do that without our partners board of supervisors and other on this remedying and the mta and our community partners walk sf and the bicycle coalition. when i became chief the mayor and i spoke about public safety early on. in february we
