they implemented a duratherm crosswalk, which is a much more visible crosswalk with a special pattern for safety reasons. it adds more character and detail to the street that you normally would not havede. b -- not have. deb brought duratherm. it was the first project where we used this material in the city. the city studied it to see how it worked. since then, other districts have -- in the tenderloin, they have also implemented this. the budget amount for each category was within the 10 percentage points from the management plan. they also met the requirements to have 5% of their income come from other sources. they have done an amazing job raising money. noe valley association has a relatively small budget. it is a little over $200,000 per year. they fund-raiser a lot of funding to help provide the services they provide. they raised 12% up to 15% of their budget in other sources, which is really amazing. the actual expenses were proportional to the revenues and also to the budget amounts in each category. they did spend more than they originally budgeted. they received actual grant

we want to recognize that the crosswalks are improved. it is a benefit for both.this is not so sexy, but it is important for operating the system. as people who ride it no, it takes a long time to get out of the system. it really gunks up our ability to have a place that is not only a terminal, but a place we can fully disabled train out of the system and let them run freely. i have heard some information and confusion about what the service plan is. this is both going through the ocean view neighborhood and a short line that adds more capacity directly between this and downtown. there will always be a proposal going to and from the park that will remain in the ocean view neighborhood. what happened in the corridor study? i think i have shown this to you before, but i will talk it to you quickly because i think it is a good story. the growth rate of nineteenth avenue far exceeds the population growth of san francisco. when you see a circle that is red, it is an intersection with a lot of congestion. and an intersection that is going to be dark outlined shows inter

what do you want to do to my crosswalk? i became very possessive of it. there was money available to upgrade the ramps and the city is still working to reduce the yellow striping, but it all but put back. supervisor mar: the crosswalk almost feels like it is brick. >> it is correct. there are several ways to do this. we could have done something in the middle. in portland, they did a cool design in the middle of the street. that prevented people from barreling through an intersection. in philadelphia and baltimore, they used duratherm and it worked well. the upkeep on duratherm -- it is embedded in asphalt. essentially, you have to route out four inches of asphalt, and then they embed the duratherm in the asphalt. this is similar to something they do in london. supervisor mar: i think they do this in hong kong, too. >> it has been well appreciated in the neighborhoods. we put cameras underneath the intersection to make sure all the pipes are working correctly, but if i had to do it over again, i do not know if i would put them in such a large intersection

and at the same time, create opportunities to add new crosswalks where none exist today.also, the intersections at 19th avenue present substantial opportunities in this reconfigured addition to smooth the flow of traffic. you included modest improvements of the immediate intersection, one that we just wanted to show the extent of the dialogue and the improvements that are being considered. this is the intersection a couple of blocks north of the site. through the traffic analysis, we identified the need is the priority was to keep the vehicular level of service at what is considered acceptable levels. it comes at a compromise of other important values such as pedestrian safety and on-street parking. to monitor this overtime, should traffic horse and -- worsen, the city will have the opportunity to engage the community at that point tod8 see if the highest priority is to keep traffic flowing or improve pedestrian safety. those choices can be made in the future. but they are laid out in the documents. moving forward, you have heard a lot about the proposed realignment of th

acknowledged the fact that since the last meeting we had a pedestrian fatality in the city in a crosswalk near gehry street. i know that last week there was the first presentation of the 15 mile per hour home zones to a community group. i will be interested to find out how that went. it will be interesting to see how the community group took that suggestion of 15 m.p.h. home zones. one other thing. i was writing my book home this weekend -- i was riding my bike home this weekend at night and tried the new by klein's in division street, the physically separated lines. it has been six or seven years since i have ridden my bike on division street. those physically separated lines made such a difference. there were some bicycles in that little stretch and it was such a great connector. it closed a little gap in the route there that made it what normally would be a scary situation, and make it pleasant to ride those two blogs and turn onto 11th. that got me thinking about the increase we have seen in cycling of the past five or six years. it is a large increase. i think in the last five years,
