i hear she will be independent on the m.t.a. board and listen to the public and not just me. but she'll hear plenty from me and vote no on an occasion. when they're proposing something bad, just say no and, you know, in general try to steer the conversation to concern for transit riders and the transit system and the other employees and concerns of m.t.a. state of good repair. all of those things. and so i think she will be confirmed. i look forward to her serving on the board and let's go forward. thanks for listening. >> chairman: next speaker, please. >> caller: good morning commissioners. my name is david hooper. i was always raised in san francisco and have lived out here in district 11 in mission terrace for 35 years. i'd like to assure you that not only do people work well with stephanie, but because of her leadership, they work well together. i'd say the point is is that people learn that they have points of unity regarding the issuings in their community and work towards solving them because of stephanie's particular strengths of character and in closing, i'd like to

i have lost faith in the m.t.a. board and m.t.a. you need to have trust for the people that live in the area. i can't trust m.t.a. you guys have not been truthful. i never received any information when you guys worked temporarily put up the lanes. you have mentioned you sent it out. we never received it. the chinatown people, majority of people you guys talked about send mailers too, if you know chinese people they do not respond. they will not respond. you can send mail and posters. they will not respond. all your surveys are inaccurate. all the stakeholders that you mentioned you suffered do not live in the area and they do a blanket approval of all your temporary lanes. thank you. >> caller: i live in district 7. i'm calling in support of sfmta approving all of the transit only lanes. we're in a climate emergency by improving service time, this will incentivize more people to ride public transit. you should priority this. thank you for your time. >> caller: my name is jim i live in district 3. i want to make a comment that might

it does not come across during public comment at the m.t.a. board meetings and similar meetings and where they actually understand that the limitations and the necessary accessibility for the seniors and disabled communities. i would appreciate that you actually make this a top priority over the next few months because it's not about the young museum trying to take care of themselves, but it's about making it accessible to everybody, including the seniors and disabled. also, the issue of the garage. the garage is not acceptable. it is not acceptable to go into the garage. there are more important -- it's more important for people such as folks that we have you dropped off in front of the venues, particularly the academy of sciences and the museum, as well as the conservatory of flowers and the botanical gardens. i urge you to please help us help you because we will not -- we will not spend an exorbitant amount of time to use the other entrances and exits that will be disadvantageous to you, the consumer, and the passenger, and us as the provider of

i would wondering if the m.t.a. board monitoring the progress of the next gen project and when the board expects to receive a report from the project manager at a board meeting in early 2022. if so, whether there's a date set for that particular meeting where the report will receive. thank you very much. >> chair borden: next speaker please. >> caller: i'm just here to say -- [ indiscernible ] sfmta transit is a government function and not business. >> chair borden: next speaker please. >> caller: good afternoon sfmta board. i want to thank you for your decision to restore the j church to the subway. it will make us a huge difference in my life to be able to ride to downtown as a senior. i am still hoping that you'll restore the 47 so i can go to trader joe's. i like to be an independent person, even though i am 75, i can go shopping at trader joe's if i can pick it up, the 47 at van ness and that it would continue along to the caltrain and it will pass by the criminal courts. which people need to get to if they're on jur

we look to increase to $150 per citation that will take for m.t.a. boardat is not something at a staff level. we look at standardizing in app safety messages and device markings. some devices are clearly marked on the board or on the stem that say don't go on the sidewalk. some are harder to see. we think the permittees would benefit for guidance and requirements. we have discussed stencils? high complaint areas that would have messages on the walk about no riding on the sidewalk. that is an ongoing conversation. our engineering team has feedback on that. that is utility might not exceed the cost there. it is something we are looking at. we also have the ability to issue administrative citations if the riders fail to comply with the laws including sidewalk riding. that is something we will do. again, this list might grow. we are going to look at anything we can do to work with the permittees apwork internally to have the safe outcomes that we want. >> i actually have come to note but from my colleagues members of the public watching can you tell us what co

you can write us at m.t.a. board at sfmta.com. if you attended the meetings or have not attended, you may be aware that technology is challenging. because we have multiple systems that connect with each other, there can be a problem when we lose the phone line. we will stop and pause the meeting to make sure it's reestablished. we will make sure members of the public is available to participate in this meeting. we ask for your patience when such issues do arise. i i want to thank everybody who is behind the scenes to make this meeting happen. turn it over to secretary silva to make her comments. >> clerk: this meeting is televised by sfgov tv. for those watching the live stream, there's a time lag between the actual meeting and what members of the public are seeing on sfgov tv. if you're watching and you wish to comment on an item, please call the phone line when the item is called. for members of the public who wish to make comment, the phone number is (888)808-6929, access 9961164. to address the board, dial 1-0. make sure you'r

all of these and we're planning on bringing the increased fine amount, for example, before the m.t.a. board and early 2022. so there may be different time frames for the various aspects here. should we proceed with adrian's portion of the presentation? >> thank you. thanks for having me today and to follow i'm just going to break down. i'm just going to go and review some of the excesses but also some of the existing challenges and that will kind of dove tail into use and behavior. so overview of successes, we have 252 stations in the city right now. we're looking at implementing 35 more in the next quarter. it's useful to think about how stations impact usage unlike scooters, station based bike share has a dedicated place where these devices are supposed to end up. we also use a lot of racks because some of the bikes have a lot to the device just like the scooters and we've mostly maintained 100 racks per month although we did kind of slow down a little bit during parts of the pandemic, but i think we're back up to that number at this moment. and then in terms of summarizing the service, w

in my few, some of the most important boards and commissions in the city are the m.t.a. board, the public utilities commission and the recreation and park commission, there may be others, but i wouldn't necessarily do the complete list at a single election. i worry that this could be too big and fail perhaps starting by deferring i generally support a staggered four-year term. so i i think heard member chan say that was part of today's amendments. i also spoke last week and i'm also thinking about the workloads in the future. i think it's doable, but i'm just thinking about what that change would mean in terms of workload of this committee. once again, i generally support this and thanks for listening. >> chairman: next speaker. >> hi, my name's julie. i wasn't planning to weigh in on this item, but i am in support of it and wanted to make an important point about democracy at large elections. i want to remind callers who say supervisors only represent one eleventh of the city. and that some important queer asian american specifically chinese american and black voices had a vo

i supported adding board of supervisors to the m.t.a. board in the past so i can certainly see some particular boards and commissions where i think there is a need for board of supervisor appointment but without broader reflection of what the executive needs to get the job done and how executive powers should be allocated between the mayor and the city administrator or whatever the structure is one that leaves me not ready to send to the voters though i'm grateful supervisor chan, you're trying to organize the conversation which is given my rambling comments in the last several moments, it's a difficult one. with that, supervisor chan. >> thank you. if i can quickly respond to that and some thoughts about i think the dynamics between the executive and the legislative branch i think is what you just talked about. i think you are absolutely right in a sense where hmm, is this tension that is natural because the dynamics of the branch as a government and doesn't just exist. i would say there is -- we see that not functioning and not functioning w

m.t.a. but also the school district and the police department, et cetera. we were created in 2018 at a time when the board of supervisors asked the m.t.a. to step up and take on management of this program to better into alignment the efforts of the m.t.a., the enforcement, crossing guards, and engineering along with the outreach and education that was already happening in san francisco. our primary goals are to both ensure greater safety around our schools but also to help supportive transportation and transit youth in getting to schools. much of the work that our office engages with, with your office is concerns that come up, but we have a proactive program that includes school safety and projects that are in corridors outside our program, but we have engineers and planners who actually go out and based on the data of collision around schools and whatnot and community input proactively identify areas for safety improvements before new issues arrive. i'm not going to try to read this slide, but as i mentioned there are a lot of places that our engages in school safety and it is the goal of our program to
