and now i want to bring up my colleague, supervisor norman yee. >> thank you very much. i am really proud that we are one of the first cities to actually adopt vision zero, and we are taking it so seriously. i'm glad that i get to walk. my goal is -- i have my step counts, and i'm only averaging -- it's embarrassing. i'm only averaging a little over 5,000 a day, and my goal for the next few months is to bring it up to 7,000 a day, so i will force myself to walk even more. in fact today, i'm going to walk down to market and stockton for a meeting, rather than taking the bus, sorry reiskin. but i want to say that i've been working very hard with my neighbors to get safety projects into our streets in district seven, and we're putting flashing lights at crosswalks, we're -- we've been able to even slow down monterey boulevard, which everybody says couldn't be done because it was off a freeway. i want to also invite you for -- next friday, we're going to have a ribbon cutting of a major project that mayor lee and myself had teamed up to put together. it's really what we call

i just wanted to bring up public works again to address the question that supervisor norman yee yee brought up about what would be an appropriate amount that we could fund in the remaining fiscal year, and just looking at what we had put together with your department, there is 560,000 to purchase the ravos street sweepers, 100,000 for street sweeping terms and supplies, which i assume we could use today. we have the 230,000 in community grants which we could also issue fairly quickly, but i think the question is the 1.6 million that we have set aside for hiring additional street cleaners. i'd like to right size the appropriation given the time passage and reduce the original amount as suggested by supervisor yee. >> supervisor kim, i'm real back of the envelope, so i'm saying the 560,000 for the purchase of the equipment some remain whole. the $100,000 for materials and supplies, we probably could also reduce to about half. the 230,000 to the nonprofit community partner, that is something that i don't any we would want to reduce, and the reason being we agreed there's only a few months left

we're going to do everything that we can do to follow the principles that norman yee and jane kim and ed lee and every single one of you put out there and crafted to make our city safer. we believe this is a walkable city, and it should continue to be safe and fun and livable, so thank you very much. i'm proud to introduce a great leader of our city, mr. ed reiskin. come on up. >> good morning. thank you all for being here. happy walk to workday. i'm ed reiskin, director of transportation here, and i think we all know that san francisco is a great city to walk in, one of the most walkable cities in the world, but we want it even more so. we want people to be save and we want people to feel save when they're walking in san francisco so they'll choose to make more trips on foot that you've heard from the folks behind me. that was really behind our embrace of vision zero in the city in 2014. during mayor lee's administration, we came together as a city and decided we're not going to accept the fact that people need to be hurt or killed as they're trying to get around our city. we did it
