you can see the crosswalks there the bikeway also narrows behind the curbside stops, also signifying that cyclists should slow down as they passed this area. and you can see where the crosswalks are and the bikes that are coming through. >> great. >> i guess i will add that i agree that we need to be really careful about making sure we have strong enforcement both for blocking the bike lane and as well as the cars crossing market to make sure that we don't have people, you know, we don't want buses in the red lanes to be stuck behind cars that are trying to cross. that is it. thank you very much for all your work on this. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have two questions and two comments. the first question, returning to this issue of utilities, my understanding is that when we rip the street up for the bart tube, we learned a lot about what's underneath there, and we retained that information. so now we have a lot of as built drawings and the like so we shouldn't be duplicating then this. is that all true? >> it is. a lot of the utilities were not just identified, but also relocated

a woman was walking in a crosswalk with her niece at foothill boulevard. a car then hit them both killing the ants. >>> jackie ward is live with that one school community is doing to make the area safer. good morning jackie. >> this is the school that they were walking to when the aunt was killed during a hit-and- run. the community is still trying to cope with the loss. but they're also really angry. foothill boulevard is notorious for bad driving behavior including speeding. and that is extremely dangerous. the oakland police department is at a patrol's to the area to try to deter the bad driving but it doesn't always work. those that live around here and send it their kids to school in the area are extremely fed up. they want to add signage and flashing lights that's a school zone along the foothill. >> this has been a problem for many years. that is why i start to pick my brother up even though he is nine. i don't want him to be getting right over here. i'm always worrying about whether not he gets run over or something. >> this week's hit-and-run is t

and that person in the crosswalk is a bad person. and also i don't believe in crosswalks.epublicans are like we've always been against crosswalks. i mean, this is a tactic. i mean, one of the things that russian writers say about their own experience under putin is that this is one of the things that he does is that he gets accused of something, and if denying it doesn't work, he then proclaims it to be a virtue rather than a crime. and that is the moment that we're in. and republicans just have to decide if they're going to help. >> well, i mean, look, you and i became friends when we believed in a totally different set of policies. that was the substance of political television and political debate. the sides seemed to have melted into something that looks like disinformation and truth-seeking. i'm not even sure the truth has a seat at the table. i think the democrats are seeking it. and then i think the republicans feel like they are part of the disinformation campaign. there's a story in the "wall street journal" that came out before we came on the air that republican

people hadn't painted crosswalks for three weeks. we talk about zero vision. i had to come and speak two or three times. people from m.t.a. and the crosswalks are painted. if i hadn't done what i did, nobody would take care. i am saying that because in the presentation 90% of it is who you know. who is pushing the project to go forward. in san francisco with a population of 840 and looking at the aging population and looking at those areas where the poor live, idy get lived and the mentality and physically challenged lived, we see the so-called project managers have no empathy and no compassion. that is putting it bluntly. those factors are not involved in how the funding is done. because they are shy many from this they don't reveal it on a website where people can go read and see what is being done. this reflects on the supervisors. some have their heart in the right place, but most do not. thank you very much. >> public comment is closed. we actually have a motion on the floor. we need a motion to adopt the item number 7 and then we need to amend that motio

this were no traffic signals or crosswalks quite like there are now. and tonight the families of the crash are getting closure. >> michael and matt are close cousins. and on july 4 they were with their parents riding a bike and scooter in the crosswalk. when an suv hit them. >> we should have had some kind of temporary safety measure in place. >> both were badly hurt. he has mostly recovered. 16 year-old michael suffered a brain injury. she's their attorney. >> as we kept researching we found more of the supported the theory. >> the city recently removed speed bumps for the parade. and back then there was little sidewalk lighting and there was this orange landscape fence. >> those medians in the dark really appeared blocked. the oncoming traffic from seeing the pedestrians coming across. and we believe that was really the cause of the accident. >> that's all why the city attorney says insurance lawyers decided to settle with the families for $30 million. avoiding a trial and let's the boys look forward as they continue their recovery. and return to sch

it was the first time in my ten years i have ever operated a crosswalk striper, president buell, so we can check that one off the box. the improvement project was launched in 2016, following an executive directive from then mayor ed lee and includes floating curbs along the bike lane, striping, hit posts and media extensions. since improvements began, the number of vehicles battling over 30 miles per hour has fallen 30%. we still have a ways to go. to make the park as safe as it could or should be. we plan to implement longer term solutions to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe in the park which sees 26 million visits per year. this month in parks, we're going to see a video, because we had the great speaking of golden gate park, the great pleasure of hosting the u.s. national lawn bowling championships at the lawn bowling courts in golden gate park. the courts built by john mclaren. and included mini ill luminaries from all around the country, including teddy roosevelt. this is just a beautiful place where history meets recreation. we and the club and the commission has been supportiv

the two children were in the crosswalk on monterey road at fourth street in downtown morgan hill.g was minimal and an orange mesh was in place in the median to protect vegetation during the holiday celebration. >> residents of the city road to the city indicating that it potentially created a dangerous condition. >> reporter: michael was pinned under the vehicle and dragged 65 feet. >> they argued that the driver was not able to see pedestrians in a crosswalk. >> reporter: after months of litigation, the city of morgan hill settled partly because officials did not want a jury trial where they had to put two children on the stand. >> no amount of money can make any of the parties whole. >> reporter: as city attorney said many of the safety features installed host accident were already planned before the boys were hit. as for the mesh that the attorney said is partly to blame -- >> it was certainly a factor we had to consider in making a decision to recommend a settlement. >> reporter: now nine, matteo's compound fracture of his arm has healed and he is his whimsical self. but micha

there is an emphasis on uncontrolled crosswalks. it's a work-in-progress. i know your direct is supportive of this. we've also got an interest from district 4 and other districts that want to improve safety in this fashion, which is for me a kind of a change because a lot of times what we often hear is complaints about parking removal, why is my parking space disappearing? i think now that we have consensus from a policy perspective that this is something important be i think it helps staff implement these projects on a case-by-case basis and large projects. >> one more question. >> yes. >> this different -- in terms of -- is anybody studying whether it makes sense for us to have a discussion around no right-hand turns on red signal? >> yes. actually, we are doing a pretty deep dive into the no turn on red issue. our colleagues at the department of public health are helping us with a data analysis part that we're going to be doing now. so we're actually going to grab the collisions that have happened, we're going to look at them, and try to see this issue a

are looking at, the cameron beach railyard, trying to improve the pedestrian environment through crosswalks, better separate out, the train area, pedestrian area and street-skate improvements. the intersection itself, the signal, it is a very complex signal impacted by multiple train movements, heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic and we are evaluating of courses, southbound, right-turning vehicles from pedestrians, but this will depend on traffic signal feasibility, if the equipment can handle it and we'll be doing that evaluation. for outreach, this has been and ongoing process. we started with a kick-off meeting several years ago where we heard a lot more from the community about what they liked and disliked about transportation and access in the area. throughout the years we've done combined areas with bart as they've had meetings. our next step is to do on-site pop-up meetings in the fall to combine with school in session, to discuss with the riders and the big picture here is this, we're viewing this as a mid-point on outreach, not the end and there's still a lot of unknowns with wh

and these crosswalks will have yield triangle zoos that peopled to people accessing the transit stops. those unable to make the walk, would be able to transfer between the rapid and the local at civic centre where we have closely spaced the rapid and the local stops on purpose. i'm doing something wrong with this pair point. i apologize. another exciting element of better market street is the f loop. we have much more demand for riders -- for service on the f loop and between fisherman's war of and in order for us to provide more service and fisherman's warf we're adding a turn-back loop allowing the trains to come on to mcallister and turn southbound on to charles which is an ex tense of seventh street and turn back and head east. during the daytime we will double or service and maintain going out to castro. and we've been we have tracks on streets and we have agreed to only run daytime service so that hotel guests are not impacted by the trains at night. car-free market. we've been hearing a lot about that. this is where i will go into the details about that. we are restricting priv

enforcement is lacking but anyway, pedestrians are incredibly vulnerable for failing to yield and crosswalks right turns we need to snip the problem at the root and remove private vehicles from market street. everybody walks. thank you. >> thank you, very much. next speaker, please. >> jordan wing. >> good afternoon mta board. i wrote myself a lengthy message before this. in support the better market street project. i'm happy to hear i won't need to read that today. so i will keep it brief. i want to applaud the board for their incredible work on the better market street project and everyone at the mta, i sincerely hope this is the beginning of something new for the city for substantially improving bike infrastructure in the city and as someone who just started biking down market street a month ago, i did it for three weeks and got tired of fears their my life every morning and evening. i hope this happens as soon as possible. i'd lick to encourage to you do this as quickly as you can. and follow-up with as much better pedestrian and bike infrastructure as you can. thank you again. and i hop

. >>> sonoma county has a lot of evacuation centers at capacity but napa valley expo, crosswalk community church napa and petaluma valley baptist church are still accepting evacuees. >>> here's a live look from our camera on top of mount tam. you can see the lights of san francisco in the distance. look towards the bottom of the screen, the darkness, that's where thousands are dealing with this this morning. it's where we're seeing these pg&e outages and the very latest. i know meteorologist lisa argen, you have been looking at this as well and so much more going on this morning. >> the winds are winding down, that's for sure. we have a red flag warning through 11:00. here's why. the upper elevations, 20 to 40 miles per hour. temperatures are cool. pressure gradients are relaxing. we have another round of strong offshore wins within the next 24 how you watch it does too. tv just keeps getting better. this is xfinity x1. featuring the emmy award-winning voice remote. streaming services without changing passwords and input. live sports - with real-time stats and scores. access to the most 4

on san bruno, it took you three weeks to repaint the crosswalk. we talk about vision zero. we had people -- we're all over the place talking about valencia, talking about this and that. but we pay our contractors, but they don't do the work. and we put our children and seniors in harm's way. so this presentation must be to the point. anyone can give presentation and get the statistics. they have to be to the point. thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is richard rothman. i live in district 1 off of fulton street. that is like the international speedway. cars speed there. i represent district 1 on the park and open space advisory committee. one of my combols is to make that safer for people to walk to the golden gate park. i never see any traffic cops on fulton street because there hasn't been a collision. i was almost hit by a car. i will not -- only cross at a light. i will not make a left turn on to fulton because it's not safe. friday afternoon i saw at least 15 officers, if i'm wrong, you can let me know, 15 officers

. >> the victims were in the crosswalk. it appears they were walking westbound on foothill. >> police believed this ford expedition was a vehicle that had the victim but investigators determined that wasn't the case. police do not have a description of the vehicle involved but they do know it took off south of 22nd avenue after the crash. people watched in shock as investigators diagrammed the scene. >> it is sad anytime we have a loss of life in our community. it is devastating and it affects the entire community. >> officers went door to door looking fo and witnesses. this is not the first deadly hit-and-run. in april a woman and her six- year-old son were killed and the boys seriously hurt in a hit-and-run crash. the suspect was arrested in virginia and charged with vehicular manslaughter. >> reporter: if anyone has information about today's crash, call oakland police. any tips could lead to a big break in the investigation. henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. >> hopefully they get the information that will lead to an arrest. >>

now the community is demanding the city do more to keep them face by having cameras in the crosswalks and more. they say drivers have ignored that speed limit for years. >>> as you have seen this morning, there is so much traffic that is utilizing this street and it is difficult for the drivers who are not part of this community to know this is a school zone. >> the four-year-old girl was treated for her injuries. police and crimestoppers are offering up to a $5,000 reward leading to information of the driver. >> >> court documents say he tried to get this daughter into usc with fake scores and credentials. prosecutors pushed for a 15- month sentence while he r twheu rejected from usc after his arrest so she did not take a spot for more deserving applicants. >> the impeachment inquiry under way and the deadline for the white house to turn over documents related to president donald trump's call with uber's president, but the trump administration is now pushing back. >>> president donald trump is not planning to comply with lawmakers demands for documents related to ukraine until there

pedestrian safety is impacted when pedestrians block crosswalks to load, forcing people to veer intothe travel lanes. a lack of loading space also leads to transit delays and congestion. the sfmta has expended considerable capital to put in transit only lanes, but double parking undermining that investment. double parking has a significant impact. it's a major contributor to increased congestion. a study showed that eliminated ring double parking could ease delays up to 30%. lastly, curb management is essential to making the projects that sfmta works on successful. especially bike and transit projects where we want to make sure that the facilities are not blocked by double-parked vehicles. this requires ensuring that we provide adequate curb space for other users in the vicinity of our project areas. however, with our current policies programs and fool tools, there are limitations how we can address the safety concerns as well as ensure the success of projects. curb management team was created last we're why two angles. the first to do more wholistic curb planning that is based on a

[bell dings] it's disgusting. four times i came here to the board of supervisors and i brought this to your attention. does anybody have the power in the city hall to make one call and get that work done within 24 hours? otherwise i'm going to paint it.
