pedestrian can't see the driver until they're out in the crosswalk. just a lot of times removing those which is -- we do that with paint because two parking spaces can seem like 200 in some neighbors so that's what we mean by public assessment. at any time we do a project we incorporate this. and daylight is including curve extensions with those red visible curb which increases the cost. below is the picture of the alvy road and it's continental style even at significant in aized -- signalized locations and you see lighting for crosswalks and then on the far right the most expensive things like pedestrian scale lighting and curb extensions ask curb extensions are the thing that -- i think a lot of people default to when they think about pedestrian safety, they're expensive and they're not always the right counter measure for the crashes that we see. so we want to try and get a way from ams thinking curve extension and be smarter about matching the crash to the tool. to there are a lot of non safety benefits for these things and security, comfort and m

it's a traffic signal just for crosswalks; right. okay. >> actually i was at a presentation yesterday on this particular hawk thing and basically it's not -- it's activated when somebody -- a pedestrian is ready to cross and press a button and then the yellow lights flash to warn the car that it's going to have a stoplight and the two red lights come on and somehow it turns into a red light afterwards and if their already passed, but the way we explain it, when something is flashing all the time, people were ignoring it, the drivers and this is effective. it's used when the pedestrian is actually crossing and i think it works real well for slope in a sense that, you know, the cars are fast but there's not that many pedestrian so you wouldn't want to have something flashing all the time, but i'm not sure for instance in the south -- north of market, south of market that it would be that effective. >> my last comment is that i know the graph that i was talking about are elementary schools only, not middle and high school, so if would b

investigators are still try to discover whether it happened at the crosswalk. that is because the crosswalk is right there, about 20 yds away and we don't see in any markers at that particular location. here is a video from yesterday afternoon. this all happened around 330. the three victims were walking from an elementary school on this road here. walk into their home and we believe they'd live on bloomfield drive when all of a sudden, there was an accident involving that as to the driver. the driver immediately pulled over and is cooperating with the police department this morning. when officers came out of here, they did a field sobriety test and they have ruled out with drugs or alcohol played a role in it. so that is not a factor anymore. one thing they are looking at, it is whether or not this person was speeding at the time. you could see the evidence at this time at this particular location. that's where box is where the sec ultimately stopped. even some of the work markers on the side. the driver tried to assist the victims. the and was taken to the ho

looking at crosswalks, how you can have better timed crosswalks. maybe we could have more crosswalks to crossed diagonally across the street. overall, our budget, we are in our fifth year of major budget deficits. i have been chair of the budget committee for the past couple of years. i am still involved in budget issues. i want to make sure i can be helpful to my colleagues who are grappling with our huge deficit. it is inevitable that we are going to make painful cuts, so how do we do it in a way that will minimize the impact to every day san franciscans, how can we keep our parks in good conditions? how do we maintain our safety net for public health services, public security services, public safety? all these are critical decision that need to be made. the pension question is something that comes up. the cost of our pension liability will cost the city, especially because of our investments in the market have come down since 2008. we are spending more of our general fund to pay our pension costs. that is a big challenge. it is a long-term probl
