many m.t.a. employees would be at risk of losing good union jobs with benefits without these balanced fare increase. their salaries, health care and other benefits are a key driver of muni's growing annual operating cost and i believe these front line workers deservingerer our consideration and support now more than ever. we all know that muni, along with other transit operators and segments of our society has entered a new and uncertain economic reality. even before the current crisis, we were going to find -- going to need to find a way of raising new revenues to pay for critical investments and upgrades. obviously these needs will only be intensified as we come out of current emergency and gain a fuller picture of the fiscal setbacks we face. now is not the time to dig that hole deeper or impede thoughtful efforts to address rising costs and expand transit access to the most vulnerable among us which i believe m.t.a.'s two-year fare proposal does. i will not be able to support this resolution

i was very concerned that the m.t.a. board, including you, voted to increase fares on clipper card users during this period, when so many san franciscans have lost their jobs, are struggling to put food on the table, when service cuts on m.t.a. have been extensive. i'm sure that you know that the board of supervisors voted 10-1 urging you not to increase fares. and it's -- it's really concerning to me. and i wanted to hear more of an explanation on why you chose to vote to increase fares during this time. >> absolutely. thank you for that question. i voted without -- you know, there was much hesitation and thought and consideration that we -- that myself and i know all of us gave to both the board of supervisors' perspective on this and frankly just a lot of compelling public comment. so i voted for the budget because i really do think it balanced the needs of the agency to move forward in a sustain -- financially sustainable way to be able to provide transportation service as we come out of this. so to be clear, the inc

to deal with this, we have parking control officers that are provided by m.t.a. they go in front of our sweepers and pass out citations to people that are parking the wrong way. once the sweepers sweep past in san francisco, you may park behind the street sweeper. we all know parking is a big issue. north beach hasn't been swept since the eighties because of opposition. but we are getting a lot of requests to sweep. basically our trucks are 10 feet wide. we stick the brooms out and they are may be 12 feet wide. >> there are a lot of blind spots when driving a large truck pedestrians and bicyclists and cars. and navigates this 22,000-pound truck through the city. >> we involve the public here -- to adhere to traffic laws. these routes were developed back in the eighties around the capability of the sweeper. things have changed since then so we have to adapt. luckily, public works is embracing technology and working on a system to alter our maps. this is literally cut and paste -- cut and paste. we will have a computer program soon that will be able to alter the ma

there's a number of pockets in our community that have been completely isolated, as the m.t.a. service has -- the muni service has been reduced. we were very happy to work with the transit workers' union and roger, local 250a and jeff and his team and julie. we just god word that we're going to be restoring the m-line in a variation of that, starting monday, may 4th, 6:00 until 9:0. 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in 20-minute intervals. we're really excited about that. i want to thank sfmta and for everyone working with us on that. there's still pockets of my community that really, really will rely on this essential card program, because seniors don't feel comfortable going out, even on buses or even in large setting. they'd rather be in an environment that they know is safe and they are by themselves. i just want to thank annette and her team and others and the t.a. for really prioritizing this. because it's an essential piece of getting seniors, who are socially isolated, geographically isolated, lack of service right now from muni, to be able to get the essential items that, you kno

i'm going to introduce jeff tamblin, the director of m.t.a. hello, my name is jeffery tamblinful as a life-long advocate of transit and as the director of the sfmta, i never thought i would say this. but please, if you have any other option for getting around, please do not ride muni. for the duration of the public health emergency, muni is only for delivering essential workers to work and allowing san franciscans to access essential services. if you need to get around for some other purpose, please find another way. if you have the ability to drive or walk or ride a bicycle, please choose those modes. in order to ensure that there is adequate space available on our muni buses for the people who need it the most. many of our bus operators are in specific, vulnerable population categories. as a result, they are needing to shelter in place in accordance with the public health order. as a result, over the coming weeks, we are expecting about 30 to 40% of our bus operators to not be able to show up for work. as of last week, although our ridership

given the long list of assets that the m.t.a. has that are i think amen to believe joint development, it would seem to me it's worth asking even if we're told no that we would like a general grant of authority for m.t.a. to utilize that particular procurement strategy in locations other than potrero. give us three or five slots to use in procurements around the city. the question is, could we direct staff to seek broader authority or more than one project specific authority instead of having to return to the board of supervisors each and every time? >> so i love this question, if i may join in. so the only project that we're ready to move forward on and we're actually ready to describe a specific construction strategy is potrero because that's where we have been doing the most work. our real estate plan, though, does include looking at additional areas and particularly kirkland and prosidio that we would move on to next. so we certainly love to take up later and to bring to you our overall real estate strategy as well as get your

and the m.t.a. play in transporting people to essential activities. >> president yee: supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, press ye president yee. supervisor preston and i originally introduced this because of the huge hits that b.a.r.t. and muni were taking during this crisis. the federal c.a.r.e.s. acts allocated $1.3 billion for federal transit agencies. this does not mean that we're out of the clear, but it does mean that the immediate needs that were referenced in this resolution were taken care of, so i'm introducing a set of amendments today that better reflect the current needs, including a clause referencing the new federal funding, remain removing the call for emergency funding, and instead calling for long-term funding that can restore and maintain services. you all should have a copy that was e-mailed to you, and i would appreciate your support for this new version, and i would like to move the amendments. >> president yee: is there a second? >> supervisor peskin: second, pe

but just last month, our m.t.a. implement our muni forward program so much faster than before. as some of you will know, we have this thing called the quick build program. we applied it to bike lanes where we go in and engage with a community in the corridor and do some pilot implementation with some cheap and easily reversible materials with paint and plastic posts. you've seen it and some of it looks ugly and slash dash in part because we wanted it to that way. we wanted to get data and make adjustments as we go along. in the corridors where we've made these bike lanes, we've seen huge increases in bike ridership. we've also been able to generate trust with the businesses and residents in those corridors. we've also been able to make adjustments in realtime based on the data. we then make a report and decide to make the changes permanent. then there will be a separate project that uses concrete and trees and nice materials. we want to take all of that success and apply it to muni. we've already seen the muni forwa

so that's something that we continue to track with m.t.a. staff. m.t.c. directed staff at the time to establish a transit blue ribbon panel to make recommendations for future funding from the cares act. and to provide guidance for transit operators to ensure that regional connectivity is maintained with a focus on equity. and this really means ensuring that transit-dependent communities and essential workers are able to maintain access to jobs and transit. we're working with the commissioners to provide input to this process. on the federal front, again we continue to work with partner agencies to identify and advance san francisco's priorities for future potential relief packages or infrastructure bills. additional near-term relief needs include state and local governments, of course, which include state and local departments of transportation, transit systems, which will continue to need funds and support beyond the initial cares act three. and also the toll agencies of the nation, who are seeking $9 billion to replace lost user fees. on the long-range

this is probably one of the most unique features. >> during the planning phase, the m.t.a.ame out with three alternatives for the long term project. one is parking protected, which we see with the pilot, they also imagined a valencia street where we have two bike lanes next to one another against one side of the street. a two-way bikeway. the third option is a center running two-way bikeway, c. would have the two bike lanes running down the center with protection on either side. >> earlier, there weren't any enter lane designs in san francisco, but i think it will be a great opportunity for san francisco to take the lead on that do so the innovative and different, something that doesn't exist already. >> with all three concepts for valencia's long-term improvement , there's a number of trade-offs ranging from parking, or what needs to be done at the intersection for signal infrastructure. when he think about extending this pilot or this still -- this design, there's a lot of different design challenges, as well as challenges when it comes to doing outreach and making sure t
