bike lanes. the item did pass. turning to item ten, the presentation on the 2017 facility's framework. a question was raised if any of the older facilities to be altered or replaced had any historic cig any chance. they don't -- significance. it was also noted the facilities owned by the city and county seemed to kon trait on the eastern side of the city -- concentrate on the eastern side of the city. and whether it would hinder growth and development in the future of transportation networks locally. we also heard presentations about the core capacity transit study and compliment sector action strategy. discussion concerned whether the impact of carbon admissions from tnc's and the single rides they provide could be factored in. that was interest in resiliency efforts in networks affected by sea level rise climate change and calling the effect of super storm sandy on the new york subway. citizens advisory committee members would like representatives from uber, lift to share what guidelines are of

bike lanes. i have to go around at least one car per block stopped in the bike lane, which means that i have to leave the lane that is for me and enter the car traffic lane. there, i'm vulnerable to even more uber drivers who are paying more attention to their phones than the road. even when i'm in the bike lane, i'm susceptible to cars as uber drivers pull over. i have had more close calls than any other street in san francisco. every day after i bike on valencia, i arrive to my destination shaken, scared and angry. this is an entirely preventable problem. clearly enforcement of these double parking violations isn't happening and something needs to be done. protected bike lanes have proven themselves to keep our streets safe for everyone. valencia street has been a safe and visionary corridor for people instead of a series of crashes waiting to happen. the time for doing nothing has passed. people deserve to be safe. i urge the board of superisors to support funding for protected bike lanes on t

the bike lane next to bike corrals, mid-block are protectable today. there's no reason a car needs to occupy that space or is legally allowed to. there's room for a two-foot buffer and white posts that we can install immediately. my wife bikes valencia every day from our house to her job teaching high school in the mission. i feel better with every inch of this bike lane that we protect. second issue is curb management. i live four blocks and bike, walk, shop and eat there constantly. i want to be clear this is not just a tnc issue. private cars, delivery trucks, taxis, they all occupy the bike lane. i want to partner with those marine chants -- merchants. we need to find a way that accommodates them. there should never be a reason for a car or delivery truck to have to cross through a bike lane to access a curb. pedestrianses do not wear armor. bicycles do not wear armor. we are pedestrians on wheels. cars need to be next to cars. thank you for listening today. >> chairman peskin: thank you. let me just call a few mr. speaker cards. paul valdez, chris

a wider bike path? i was unclear what was -- >> so the slide was one where it's like the reality, and they were not connected to pictures. one picture was just speaking to the designs are inadequate and that i don't have the solution but i know that we've been working -- i think that nicole has been part of these meetings with other disability advocates and walk s.f. in trying to find improvements to design and really make the building document more dynamic. and the second photo is a screenshot of the cali bike advocacy and they're pushing for policies without engaging disability advocates early on so they're not connected. >> okay. all right. thank you. so just to be -- from my own understanding and thank you for your patience -- i understand you know if a stop sign is allowed to just be a yield sign for a bicyclist, how that could impact detrimentally people with disabilities who are accustomed to having the crosswalk, etc., and when the walk sign appears that we can go. what is -- beyond that issue,

and how to bike safely. the program was funded in the fall semester by a state grant to the department of public health and the work will continue next year as well. but the program will be funded in the spring through prop k. next request is from the smfta to fund their portion of the bike to work day 2018. this is organized by the san francisco bicycle coalition. this funds work that is leading up to and on the day of for all of the festivities that go along with that day. and it has traditionally we have seen increased bike cycling before and after bike to work day. and the last request is from the department of public works. this is for the construction phase of the stand-alone curb ramp improvements either for improving ramps that are not currently at the ada guidelines or to construct ramps where ramps currently don't exist. and folks can request a curb ramp by conducting 311. the work will be done in the spring of 2019. this is an annual funding request that we see from sf public works. with that, i c

bike employs six people. guys or should we test the motor and generic stefan cush was designed the bike taxi a quick check to make sure everything's in order. it took over eight years to develop the prototype. it doesn't have a combustion engine. it has to driving forces the person himself produces a bit of c o two but that's allowed. and the electric motor produces no c o two so it's an eco friendly beer called. a bike taxi will set you back ten thousand euros. to sweeten the deal the engineer has designed a vehicle to accommodate. bike gets a small part of the cost most of the admission you goes to the driver it takes about five months to pay back the value of the bike taxi. stefan cush began building bike taxi seventeen years ago he's even designed a solar powered version. bike taxis can be found in one hundred twenty cities around the world including new tokyo. bike taxis are also attracting interest in the ethiopian capital addis ababa. and africa. beginning in addis ababa. we hope we can establish ourse

bike lanes. especially on valencia street. >> chairman peskin: thank you. >> public: good morning. i'm a volunteer with the bike coalition. i have been a san francisco resident for over 40 years. i'm a bike commuter. my wife is a bike commuter and i want to start by saying that safety is a huge concern to me. 13 years ago i was run over by a bus while riding home from work. i nearly died. i wouldn't be here if it weren't for the fire department, if it weren't for sfgh, i wouldn't be here. i would be dead. it caused a huge disruption in my life, my family's life. i was in the hospital for three months. i was off work for a year. this cost the city millions of dollars from a suit that i had against the city. and i want to make it really clear that it is cheaper and better for citizens of san francisco to have safe cycling. that's just a no-brainer. motorized vehicles and pedestrians and bikes have no business being in the same place. we have to have bike boulevards, pedestrian areas in this city. i

bike lanes. all it is going to take is working for it and i think that we can do that. so, i just want to strongly encourage everyone to keep fighting for these protected bike lanes because i know we can. thank you. >> chairman peskin: public comment is closed. commissioner ronen. >> supervisor ronen: yes. i want to thank everyone who came out. it was very eye-opening. not that we don't know what is going on. but to hear that bikers are using the red lanes for the buses as a safer alternative to what was supposed to be the bike corridor is just insane. and the crazy thing about it is it makes perfect sense. that's how dangerous valencia has become. i have asked the mta several times to increase enforcement of double parking on valencia. i know supervisor sheehy has done the same. i see dillon in the audience. i think we need to have that meeting again because while we will continue to prioritize and fight for protected bike lanes, that's going to take some time. i share the urgency of all the pub

caroline, do you wear a bike helmet? no, i don't.lington to city hall every day and i cycle in a fairly mellow way. what about the traffic? i worry about the traffic enormously, but there is just as much risk of having a head injury as a pedestrian on the pavement as there is while riding a bike. it's really important that people ride their bikes in ordinary everyday clothes when they are getting around. not even high visibility? i don't wear hi—vis, no, i have good bike lights, but i wear ordinary clothes and i hope people can see me. you have lights? yes, and i use them during the day as well as at night. you have them on in the day because you are worried about people crashing into you? the number of people who have crashes and get injured, wearing helmets, who don't have head injuries... a cycle helmet when protect you from most crashes which happen to you. is that the case? it's not. we have a close relationship with survivors of a brain injury and their families and i've met many cyclists and families who have had a loved one w

but they're also about bikes and not just ordinary bikes but like. that conceived after we people yes you had it right in berlin munich and other cities like bike taxes come to please cars but it seems that it would be a lot of work for the drivers i think n.t. can tell us more you know what sharon i asked myself the same question when i heard about these vibes but compared to classification rickshaws you don't have to struggle to drive a bike taxi they have high take a quick mind and the climate friendly eco motu maybe in germany everything let's take a look at how these sophisticated wonders on three wheels work. it's morning time in the heart of the german capital. here at the brandenburg gate spike talked to they're doing good business there especially popular with tourists who avail of the city towards the drivers offered. to local mall has been operating a bike tuffy for thirteen years. this is a super job for me i've always loved cycling and i like to get moving and i get paid for it i'm never bored with it and i get to show people the city an

i know i'd want a bike if i lost it. >> reporter: mike's bike's, franklin plumbing, local fire departments and chp came together to organize this event. their goal was to collect 1,000 bikes so they still have more donations to come in. f if you have a bike that needs to be used or needs fixed up, drop it off at fire stations in marin county, southern marin or the cal fire station in santa rosa. it's going to a good cause to help people that lost everything. reporting live in mill valley, abc 7 news. >> all right, thanks, janine. >>> speaking of banding together for north bay fire victims, last night, metallica, among the musicians who performed at the benefit concert at at&t park. ♪ ♪ metallica closed out the five hour marathon concert with sand man in front of 40,000 fans. all the performers played for free to be part of the fundraiser and thank the first responders. metalli metallica's guitarist nearly lost his sonoma home. the flames stopped at his front gate. >> just want to thank all the first responders, everyone who helped four weeks ago, i was a victim of the fire. i just want to

but my few experiences biking down there as left me deciding not to bike down valencia as a beginner biker anymore. in fact, i feel safer on some of our corridors in the south of market now because we do have parking protected bike lanes on seventh and 8th and division as well as now folsom street. so, i just want to thank all the members of the public for coming out today. i think this is a corridor that is often viewed as one that should be the most biker friendly. so, i really look forward to us being able to continue those extensions into the neighborhood and also want to make sure, listening to the members of what the public said, it did take a fatality for us to move forward on protected bike lanes on seventh street and on folsom as well. we certainly don't want that to be the impetus for any near term improvements going to the ground. you know how quickly mta can act when that happens and how the near term improvements happened on folsom street was almost shocking to me after the fatality we had. within a month we were painting a green stripe down folsom. i encourage the city

it is special that you can get a bike back. >> hundreds of people in sonoma were lined up to get bikes starting before the event started. by 10:30 they had given away the adult bikes. if you didn't get wheels here there is a chance you can get one. >> if people didn't get bikes today, we will take their name down and see if we can do that. >> and to bring people happiness and reassurance they are not alone. >> the bike drive will continue through december 1st and the fire department hopes to bring it to napa county sometime month. go to our website for more information. >>> there is a sonoma strong event at the old courthouse square with beer and wine and activities for kids, firefighters say they are ready to start over. >> we wanted to catch the sunny weather and enjoy what is great about living here and get back to being a community. >> law enforcement city officials in local community groups put the event together. >> napa and sonoma county residents that lost their homes have two more days to sign up for free debris removal. homeowners must submit an entry form to the county desig

barriers to biking and the biggest way to reduce that barrier is to give a bike away. so we actually are able to reclaim and to recover bikes from sfpd and from uni that are left behind for a long time and we rehab them over with the help of volunteers and community bike shops and we partner with different organizations so that the photo right here is one of our volunteers working with the youth that lives at northridge cooperative homes in the bayview and this was from earlier this year. which we did bike build and gave away about 20 bikes away to folks that live at north wij ridge. this is predominantly at low ridge and in the outer mission and it's been a great program to give away hundreds of bikes every year. and so really the question is, why i'm here, and this gets back to the final question that i'll ask, how we can be better partners. so when we talk about biking and when we talk about accessibility, here's a coup

i'm co-chair of the bike founders. represent 150 donors who have financially invested in amenity in mclaren park, the bike park. whose biggest concern is around trails and connectivity to the park. so i'm here to speak in support of the vision plan. i think rec and park folks have done a great job working with us, creating the bike park that was just opened on october 21st, with much success from the community, family, children from the neighborhoods, people from all over. we want to make sure that as this plan moves forward, we're involved in the details of the trail's development, to ensure that people can safely and have fun. get to mclaren bike park and move throughout the bike park, that includes planning for hertz play ground as well as through sunnydale. we view this vision document as a malleable document that through meetings and community input we'll be able to effect the wild and winding nature of the trails so they are not wide and sanitized. we need those types of trails to move folks through the park, esp

it's an important entrance for the bike path under the 101 freeway to connect those biking between the areas and the hairball is the one and only way for people to bike and connect from the mission and other neighborhoods to the southeast of san francisco. currently jorrold offers little protecti protection and creates dangerous conditions and as a result it's a high-injury corridor. adding new lanes will by no means solve the issues associate with the area but a great step in the right direction. in the near term it the make the dangerous stretch safer for those who ride it daily. our members ride the street with their families and loved ones and have been vocal in support of the project including those who wrote in in opposition to the appeal. san francisco is still mourning the loss of the 17 people hit and killed on our streets this year. if we're to prevent these tragedies from occurring and reach the zero of zero loss on the streets we have to protect corridors like jarrold avenue. thank you. >> supervisor breed: next speaker, please. >> my name is ye and here to up hold the appe
