. >> chairman brinkman: do we have someone from jump here? >> would someone like to take a whack at that? [laughter] >> hello. i am mark from jumped bikes. it is a challenging question. it is a challenging question to answer because as you deploy more bikes, you also create more usage. it is a difficult thing to forecast. it is never really been done meaningfully at scale and in a city like san francisco. we only have guesses. i am born and raised here in the city and have been biking for over 20 years of my life and i would say that my own dealing is the city could easily support in the 2-5,000 range of bikes but we would love to do -- what we would love to do is to play them in groups and figure out if demand can keep up to create a scenario where we could even have demand for a 5-10,000 bikes those are the numbers -- numbers were talking about when we are thinking about projecting out for the years to come. we are not saying we are there today and we want to drop thousands of bikes but we would love to do more than 500 today because we alr

. >> chairman brinkman: thank you, very much. i do want to do public comment before we dive in. >> chairman brinkman: we have one speaker. >> hello. i'm speaking on behalf of patrick who cannot be here. he had to take off. i had to leave to get back to work, patrick says. the item was discussed but here is what i was planning to stay at the meeting today. i would like to share two things with the board. first, russell franklin was killed by riding a bike on howard and van ness in a crosswalk. one of the more than 25 -- 250,000 on street parking spaces that sfmta allows. within three hours, there were multiple requests filed and e-mails to remove two parking spaces, and yet sfmta has not made any changes. sfmta needs to be risk more responsive to this request and remove the parking spaces within 24 hours. it only takes paint to remove those spaces to make the crosswalk safer. it marks the 20th fatality. we are on an increase of 22% over last year. i am excited about the jump bike increase from 250 to 500. i want to thank the staff

. >> chairman brinkman: i would like to go to public comment. >> clerk: alita dupree. >> chair brinkman, members, thank you. alita dupree, for the record. i was reading over this report at home. this is very important work. when i came here on my first long trip in the fall of 2009, seeing the next bus signs and then missing them when next bus went into decline. so it's important to of a options. there's a place for signage. i have a phone, but there are times when i don't want to take it out, so i use the signs both at the shelter bus stops and in the subway and i like the bus signs in the subway. and i do miss the video monitors which show the position of the trains in the subway and on the external extensions of lightrail. it's important to be engaged. the technology doesn't make the vehicles come faster or have anything to do if you will get a seat on the vehicle. but it does help in situations of inclement weather and being able to be empowered with choices and muni gives me lots of choices. so it's important that we make a strong investment in this program as we introduce more peo

it's unforgivable >> chairman brinkman: thank you. thank you for your work. >> clerk: herbert weiner, last person to turn in a speaker card. >> i speak as a social worker. do people that want people that reside in trailers on their doorstep? you are displacing people. and i just got this association, the people living in vans remind me of the gypsies in europe. no one wants them. no one likes them. they despise them. they're marginalized. and they're kicked all over the place. there is is what's happening in san francisco. this is a western democracy. it's not the reactionary regimes of eastern europe. i don't like to see people being kicked around like this and something has to be done. you guys are delegated to resolve a problem. m.t.a. is an organization of professionals that has to solve the problem. the police have to solve the problem. the government has to solve the problem. and the government should not persecute vulnerable people. that's typical of fascism. and we don't want that. so individuals have to be protected and you h
