at that crosswalk as well. with respect to sterling street there's going to be, we're proposing to remove the curb cuts, the handicapped access, and put bollards and signage up instructing pedestrians to not use that, that you need to cross over to bryant street and go over the crosswalk that's being installed. there's going to be signage coming from both directions and even during construction we're going to be putting up lighted signing so there's immediate notice to driver, on-coming drivers, that there is a crosswalk and there are folks crossing. like i said, this is not an obligation that the planning code or the planning commission has put on the project. in fact, it's consistent with the eastern neighborhoods eir, which says building owners should make voluntary efforts to do these improvements. these are significant improvements and this is a modest project. it's a conversion of three upper floors of the building so this is quite abuff and beyond what most project sponsors do in these situations but aga

the crosswalk may be built after occupancy. it may have caltrans approval. it may have mta approval. people may remove the parking on the street that is currently a physical impediment to people coming down the street. they may get the barrier installed at sterling street and the crosswalk removed. what we do know is the project sponsor was adamant at the meeting she had with the people in the public last week that they plan on having people working there in august because they can rent it. and the rent level is one of the highest rent levels in the city right now for tech offices south of market. this is near caltrans station. so we are to hope that no one has an accident. we are to hope that the crosswalk is there by the time people start coming to the office. there is a lot of incentive to rent this out at $70 a square foot for tech offices. because the planning department botched this one. they did. they didn't look at these issues of creating a hazardous building and hazardous access. the city is going to be implicated in what happens there. i just was

and people in the crosswalk using that it will penetrate people in vehicles to slow down and respect the people that are using the sidewalks and streets and the warns turns into a higher level of safety on the streets this is exactly what we're trying to side here you'll see the departments working i'm going to take physical action and laying down the stripes myself but more of this is going to happen because we as a city agreed we're going to put serious resources into these our vision zero so that it is not just a a pronouncement we make those things happen on as many street corners as possible this is a relatively easier treatment to do but a higher awareness comes boo about it as we work on the compacted streets and intersections that require xylophones and a lot of other agencies to be involved in safety of those intersections and streets reich like we have probably a half block away on a very, very business intersects at the same time in in addition to the so-called descend are a striping we'll be taking a look at with our police department and our mta and public defender's off

a freeway intrarn and it is recipe for injury or fatality i know there is resistance because the crosswalk was to support this building on sfmta partly opportunity so the project sponsor agreed to my for them but they agreed to pay for the signal listed crosswalk that took a little bit of pressure but the response from the sfmta was that normally it takes a minimum of 18 months to design it but the project sponsor is going to pay for the design and pay for other cost of installation it will take 12 months i wonder why the building is a ton of residents are concerned they've taken away the proposition appeal why does it take 12 months if someone else's is it paying for it and how can we get those projects done faster. >> i don't have the specific details on fulsome we can get back to you on that the signal contracts which are a big part of the vision zero delivery in is something we can take a hard look at. >> that will be great. thank you very much. >> thank you okay looks like we have no further comments or questions thank you for your presentation why not go to public comment on item num

if you look outside in the crosswalk now even the city engineer have brought solutions to these types of issues. i could see the improvement for the crosswalk right outside city hall on polk street will be completed soon and again it's one of those things i feel our effort to bring the zero vision policy has brought a lot of awareness to all of us and not only in this and city engineer and it is law enforcement, so this month is distracted driving awareness month and i hope this legislation shifts the driving culture so we focus on driving and prevent needless deaths and tragic collisions. when i introduced it earlier or about a month ago i did mention there are limitations in how much of this can apply locally versus what the state may have to do and i was already in discussion with state legislators that represent san francisco to see if they actually could carry a bill at the state level which would make this concept of tour bus drivers not providing the narration a much more powerful solution to what is happening now, so again i hope that my colleagues will be able to support this

there's a crosswalk down this way but i've seen people walk crossing outside the crosswalk both here and further down in that direction. so people do crosswalk and if traffic is moving briskly, quickly, it can lead to a fatal accident. let's take a look at the video around 10:45. investigators say a man in his 20s was walking east across delaware avenue. he was hit and killed by the driver of an suv. the fatal collision happened in the 700 block of north delaware avenue near penn street. police are searching for the driver of the suv. the problem though they do not have a license plate or a real good description of the vehicle. the only thing they're telling me is that it is a dark-colored suv that sped off heading northbound on delaware avenue. so if you have information about that, you're asked to call police. we've been checking into some of the other fatal accidents here on delaware avenue as i mentioned. it's not an uncommon occurrence. we'll talk more about that at the bottom of the hour. live in fishtown jesse gary nbc 10 news. >>> also new this morning in philadelphia dozens
