mta. i don't know who with the mta are you going to enforce section 22 of the vehicle code against the shuttle operators? >> through the president supervisor campos i'm not familiar with the code you cited. our intents with the programs we're with owe are covering is to identify the stops that would be able to be assessed by shuttles that are participating in the permit program. and thereby rendering all other stops unavailable to anyone permitted provider or not. >> it's illegal under the vehicle code for people to park in those red zones. i guess the question is whether it influences part of the 2 hundred stops with respect to the 2 hundred stopts that are part of the pilot are you going to enforced section 225 hundred and issue tickets to the operators >> i don't know what the code is but our understanding is the action that the municipal transportation agency board took as mr. gibner said it's not enabling anybody to violate the state law but gives mta the authority to allow the use of

mta. it's up to the project sponsor to define what the project entails we then review that and the approving body approves the body as going through the public review >> there's 2 hundred stops proposed correct? >> no specific stops are proposed under the pilot. >> oh, okay. are are there stops that are currently not being used for they're not shuttles but could actually be new stops under the pilot. >> we have no basis for this assumption and that gets to the issue at hand the reasons that mta is undertaking those they have no certainly or regulate what stops are being used by shuttles. >> it that possible that the pilot will - >> i can't answer that question. >> let me ask the mta is it possible director reiskin that in fact the two hundred stops your using there will be new stops currently not being used by shuttles. >> good evening mr. president, and members of the board through the chair supervisor campos. yeah, it's our intent to elevate the potential stop locations within the 2 hund

first of all, i was pleased >> i was pleased when the mta directors finally when the mta has the authority to legislate the curb and some little the mta wanted to achieve consensus but the fire department was not going to back down. >> ultimately the agency that's responsible for making sure that our streets are safe you guys took that action and leg last day those curbs changes i was pleased to see that. with respect to the puc i'll give you my view the puc has taken the position if a bulb out is being built over water pipes it's the mta responsibility to pay to move those water pipes so they're not under the bulb out is a significant expense on the mta and frankly it's not necessary to move the water pipes it's for the future theoretical convenience of the puc if in 20 years they need to reach the pipe they don't want to dig underneath the sidewalk but underneath the streets that are a significant burden that the project sponsors from doing those bulb outs for a savings for the puc when frankly when you're doing a bulb out they can look at the pipes and see if it's old and switch it out

to pay to move those water pipes so they're not under the bulb out is a significant expense on the mta and frankly it's not necessary to move the water pipes it's for the future theoretical convenience of the puc if in 20 years they need to reach the pipe they don't want to dig underneath the sidewalk but underneath the streets that are a significant burden that the project sponsors from doing those bulb outs for a savings for the puc when frankly when you're doing a bulb out they can look at the pipes and see if it's old and switch it out and did do it. many cost shouldn't be passed on. i don't know if this is the future of a future hearing in terms of enforcement i know i held a hearing last year about double parking enforcement and -- excuse-me. i should say the total lack of parking enforcement not only a sf pd issue they are the aggressive tools it is necessary sometimes a delivery truck has no way to pull over but we all see that everyday. the delivery trucks that clearly they have a place to pull over and don't both it's laziness it's easier to park in the middle of the street a

capitol reserve and that will again, partially fund the construction phase and we plan to work with mta to continue to identify funding for the construction phase which is the phase to start in july of 2015. >> do you have the slide that outlines the recommendations. >> no, but the project solutions and if you do want to look in the packet, you can view the evaluation of the project, on attachment, let me see. and it is i think, i actually have it, and it is attachment four. and if you look and then our recommendations i believe, are encompassed within attachment five could you summarize what the recommendations are. >> so the recommendation is to fund about a million dollars 1.045 million to the mccallister street project. and that is within, the confines of woods and larkin in district six and then to fund, $365,000 and if we are precise, 364,000 to the webster street, and it is an sfmta project and the other is hastings and you may recall that we funded a earlier phase of the work, and the construction and design, but this would extend it, the project in additional block and cover ad

and after protected the negotiations that took over a year, the mta board authorized an award to the harris corporation in the amount of $109.2 million which included 86.6 for base, and some for optional services and the optional services some of them were subsequently executed once they secured additional funding. expenditures equal 8.84 million. >> could i just ask you to just explain in every day terms how this will have a day-to-day impact on riders and how it will impact the servers and how it is going to help the system. >> just, well, it will help by facilitating and making more intelligently, and by having basically until the transportation systems and so, knowing what the vehicles are, and it will allow them to better do the forecast for arrivals and departures and also, be more in communication with the operators, and more systems for the vehicle and live as the vehicle is being driven and they will be able to diagnostic and to figure out what is going on with the vehicle if there are any problems or whatever. and also, for helping with incidents if there is an incident and

implemented at this point, it looks like mta may assume responsible for implementation of this project. and along with its adjacent pedestrian plaza project and the details are still being sorted out and we expect additional, we hope for resolution in the next fao months and we will keep the commissioners apprised of that project progress, but due to its future looking more often, and there was only a million dollars available to this call for projects. on the slide before you, you can see and also on the attachment three of your packet, you can view a summary of the applications that we received in response to the call for project and on attachment four you can see a listing of these projects and the corresponding scores and we received a total of 6 project commissioner and five pedestrian and safety and response to the call and requesting about five million in the prop a funds, and the total available funding at this time which was 1.15 million, total, 5 sponsoring agency and so maybe these projects. >> on this slide, you can view that the project locations of these projects as they

so that data will ultimately forbode into the mta's consideration through the process in terms of what the best regulation is >> yes. >> okay. now supervisor campos had i think raised a question with planning about i think if i'm interpreting it correctly suggesting not collecting data but those shelters are picking up people up and dropping people 06 i guess my question is can the mta collect data without having the shuttles operate and people getting on and off and generating is there another way to collect data. >> not that i'm aware of. >> it seems like if one acceptance and obviously will there are different views on the data collection it seem like you need the shuttles to operate. >> that's right. >> when we talk about control impact environmental impacts again, the impacts just looking at the scale of the system. so my understanding is that muni has about seven hundred thousand board of supervisors a day right now >> yes. >> and my understanding is that the shuttle system that is the times it's operating in san francisco has been 30 thousand boardings a day. >> that's correct b

so what we were analyzing the imposition of the project that i described it and as mta will describe it as the existing on the ground conditions the project itself which would identify those stops as one component of it and track the compliance with the stop network and with the operational protocols provided that in itself is not something we can contributed physical impacts to >> again, i building what is a distortion of what the defines of an existing condition is. it would be one thing in the pilot is saying we're allowing the stops that are being iced but the mta is saying there could be new stops not seeing any new shuttles i don't think that's the same i want to note that but i want to proceed to another point. the section that your referencing is the section 6 exemption says, you know, and you read it and it talked about data collection and research examiner data those will be strictly for information gathering purposes where to an action which a public agency has not approved adapted or fund those would be strictly this is clearly strictly means something more only that. how

but this is a first step. >> so currently today does mta have enough data to with confidence be ableo implement that sort of comprehensive regulations. >> we don't but the information we have from shuttle rear view mirrors is in compliance s in format and some information we just don't have. we think this approach of sharing will work but we want to ground test it first >> as part of the pilot program the mta will be receiving the data from participating shuttle drivers. >> yes. in several ways first through the permitted circulation we'll be asking for information about their vehicles and asking for information for example, about the maim their vehicle is registered under there's there are questions from members of the board for citations looking for that information we realize that many shuttle providers don't have their shuttles listed under their names so we'll be asking for that to track that you we're requiring that the shuttle providers have on board a gps system and we'll be specifically specifically what the gps added what frequently during their operations in san francisco

about on the 19th avenue and the projects of that scale and but we also have the shorter term that the mta is responsible for and something as small as a $15,000 bike rack project and so we have the extreme scales from the very small to the very large and the prior to 2012, we have done was a ten year capitol investment plan and that included everything that we planned on doing, meaning intentioned on doing and what the needs were and plus the funding that we thought would be available and what constantly showed people is that we had massive gaps that we could not close and so what we found was the members of the community had very little sense of what the mta would actually deliver and like with the funds that you have, what can i actually see be delivered on the streets of san francisco? >> and so what we did was, we split up that ten year investment plan into our 20 year, unconstrained capitol plan which has the needs over 20 years, and the five year capitol improvement wham that is restricted to the revenues. and so with that, the five year cip is a financially constrained, program of

. >> so the mta understanding the entire system has 5 percent of the entire muni system. >> that's the equivalent yes. >> given their focused on the shuttles cross the county line that go into san mateo county than the inner city shuttles and the appellants lawyer i heard that apparently those impacts of the inner traffic city shuttles are dramatically lower if i heard him correctly so if we look at what the appellants are focused on the shuttles across the county line their 20 percent of the overall shuttles? based on on what we know yes >> based on what you know 65 or seven hundred thousand boarding vs. 65 thousand boardings a day for the cross county shuttles that's a little bit less than one percent of the daily boardings of muni. >> i'm not a quick calculator but sure >> i think if my math is correct it's a little bit less than one percent i think it's reasonable to assume most people are going to be boarding twice a day one thought or half of the 65 hundred boardsing tape in san mateo county we're talking about probably about a little bit over 33 hundred boarding a day on the cro

we're fortunate to have mta team to do the survey and got out on polk street on a late friday night >> and then i also and i'll be asking the gentleman from mta in terms of making sure we better inform people will be the late night services does exist and how overnight service there is not a centralized place to find the service and seems like mta can do basic changes on website or some of the apps that have muni information and make it easier for people. i agree the industry can play a part in disseminating the information >> some of the transit websites it gets buried in a woo it's easy to understand why people are not aware. >> next i'd like to call of john the director of the mta operations thank you. >> thank you. i want to just highlight a few things about the existing service. and will submit it gave us a good foundation to build off number one but some of the comments the speakers that preceded me have will i think we're a little bit prove terrific we have two routes the 90 and 91 which are customized out service that go around the service as well as identified another group o

it does require the mta board to put sunday to reach that vision zero goal. i really appreciate if all of you can put the budget on pedestrian safety. thank you for considering. >> thank you. any other members here to speak? okay. >> aaron dong, mai fang dang. >>> good morning. i'm from [speaker not understood] also. [speaker not understood] free muni for youth. also continue for two years. bus is mainly the transportation i use. and really if i can get to school, get to my youth program and also [speaker not understood] without really giving too much financial pressure on my family. and if -- it's a good decision to make a pilot program since there are over 30,000 youth in this program. so, i'm sure it would be a good decision to make it permanent. i want free muni for youth to be a fare policy so not only me, but the next generation can benefit from it. i want to support free muni for 18 years old. 18 is just a number. it doesn't represent everything. a person is 18 years old, it doesn't mean this person has the ability to afford the bus fare. i have many f

are given justice in the mta budget. not handmade enof the mayor lee stand up to the mayor. reject this appointment. and what about metered [speaker not understood], cutting the revenue out of that. ~ for sunday when the supervisors clearly told them that's not what they wanted. so, you should reject this nomination. thank you. >> is it natalie? and madelein? come on up. >>> good afternoon, supervisor yee, tang, and campos. my name is natalie [speaker not understood] and i am a membership and volunteer director at walk san francisco. i'm here on behalf of walk san francisco to strongly support mayor lee's reappointment of cheryl brinkman to the sfmta board of directors. during her tenure for the past three years she's consistently championed safe sustainable and equitable transportation. most recently she has demonstrated her leadership and commitment to safe transportation in the city by leading the sfmta to adopt vision zero. the policy, as you are all aware, to end all traffic related deaths in the city in 10 years, i

i would like to thank mta for the presentation and supervisor mar for his additional hearing on the mta budget focusing on bike safety. to put an over lay on everything that i think leea shim talked about. we have a huge opportunity now to respond to the crisis we have in san francisco. we have a lot of unity on this board, i think complete unity about the real need for safety and looking at all aspects on our budget particularly bike safety and our vision zero is something that is unprecedented in this city in terms of having such consensus from the board to direct our city departments to work together to enhance pedestrian safety efforts. i just think it's really critical that as the mta is putting forward it's budget and planning that that safety can be part of every aspect of decision making just behind-the-scenes everywhere. it's really critical. i'm glad to see that we are seeing an increase from 1-2 percent for the bicycle infrastructure. i think we do need much much more and i think that the fact that we are increasing bike usage, but we are not seeing a decrease in collisions m

so, we're talking about a cost to the mta of $200,000. that's pennies for the mta and it's fundamentally an error and it would be wrong. and we know there is this group of high school students that we are intended to be part of free muni for youth. you expressed unanimous support for it. we were shocked the staff tie this had to the november ballot. it would be an error. we're so grateful for this board and for your progressive thinking and we hope that you will act today in response to correct this issue. we also support what's been said about initiating a pilot program for seniors and people on disabilities and we look forward to also since this is no longer part of the program, institutioning fare policy program [speaker not understood]. we hope you heard this today. >> thank you. i see we're joined by supervisor eric mar. would you care to address the board this afternoon? good afternoon, supervisor. >> thank you, chair nolan, board members, and mr. reiskin. i want to thank the community memorandum gers for speaking out ~ members spea

it is a very good contract for mta and for the city. so, i absolutely hear your concerns, but on balance we think this is absolutely the right thing for muni and the mta and the city. >> optickically it's really challenging as well. we approved a shuttle bus program for stops in san francisco at dollar stop. the shuttle buses -- shuttle bus he that we have are completely unmarked. you have no idea what, you know, except for the transportation company itself. so, we have private companies that have completely unmarked buses. we have public buses that actually have the muni brand that are covered up with huge ads. not all the buses as you say, but some of the buses. to me is not how we should be using our public resources in such a way, even if it raises revenue. weing actually had choice about how much revenue we could raise and we low balled it. even though you say that there has been a nexus about how much we can charge, we repealed sunday immediatether erring. if it's really about revenue, we haven't done everything we can do to raise

academically the mta did a pilot and i think that i shared this to the staff and you might have a chance to look at the evaluation of pilot. and 12 parking spaces across the city. and working with the city administrator's office and the city car share, we had to change the transportation code a little bit to facilitate this and it was a pretty intriguing program, and unfortunately this map is not going to read clearly and i would be happy to forward this and it might be in your packet and 12 locations across the city where we facilitated a permit to place the city car vehicles on the street. and you can see that they were distributed relatively evenly across the city but very thinly, if you only have 12 of these across the city, it is hard for the people to really pick up on it. and so, i talked to folks about using on street parking for car share and i say that you might have seen them out tr and people say that i never saw them. but now that you know where they are, go and look for them you can see how they look. here is what one of them looks like. this. on har rot street and it is ju

could not close and so what we found was the members of the community had very little sense of what the mta would actually deliver and like with the funds that you have, what can i actually see be delivered on the streets of san francisco? >> and so what we did was, we split up that ten year investment plan into our 20 year, unconstrained capitol plan which has the needs over 20 years, and the five year capitol improvement wham that is restricted to the revenues. and so with that, the five year cip is a financially constrained, program of projects and so what we do and what we started last august is that we look at every funding source that we intend to getting within the five year period and we are honestly very conservative about those sources and so we typically think that we will get more than we project and we project a very conservative level because we don't want to assure someone that we are going to move forward with the project and not have the dollars in place, it is a tool and so we do fund the projects by phase so that the people can get a sense of when the things will start an

. >> so, last year, we went to the mta board of directors and we proposed a larger pilot program, let's test this thing scaled up and have a two-year pilot, and we are going to invite more than just one car share organization to participate and we have actually have done that and we had five organizations say that they would like to participate and we found three of them qualified, see car share and zip car and get around, one of the peer to peer organization and we have environmental review and we are cleared to test as many as 900 parking spaces across the city and that is a big number and, there are 300,000 parking spaces and so that is about a third of one percent. and it is a pilot and we are going to try this over two years and we are going to review and adjust the pilot as it goes and we are not going to throw them out there and say that it worked. and participants are going to have to provide quite a bit in order to participate, obviously, these are the rules, but they are going to have to provide a lot of data, that is an ultimate point and we need to keep to study this to see

we're now working closely with our colleagues at the mta that implement pilots to help us design that and will be coming back to the community i think on april 30th to talk about this more. the timeline this is excuse me. that is an overview of the different steps we're in this back one right now. we're planning on the before the pilot begin collecting data to compare to the final outcome of the pilot and anticipating the pilots 4 to 6 weeks. we're going to design that as we move further along with the metric and finally analyzing the pilot data for or against operations. so this is sort of an overall timeline phase one is complete and twaes phase two is anticipated to run through the summer and one of the benchmarks is thriving of the warriors project they're anticipating august right now. so in phase two again, we're looking at the two pieces the longer bar is the sf they're doing is an in debt regional network to understand how the big picture is going to be causing demand we noetd need to meet and below the pilots the red line developing the pilots and implement that and be done w

to travel fatalities that's where the culture shift is important we can focus our efforts but at the mta we have a safety engineer that's in the traffic operation group - and almost exactly a month ago was a serious wtdz a 5 year-old and babysitter at almost the exact same place and 24 hours ago you're saying that random perhaps >> i'm not saying that it's hard to come up with a perfect high injury network there will be things happen and the safety net in place to get the crash reports from the police department and we investigate them in our traffic operations group immediately and try to go out and see if we can fix the conditions on the street. i'm suggesting that it is all but impossible to anticipate every issue which is why the culture of slowing down and being important tentative is taking care of each other is a part of vision zero that automated speed we can't have police there >> i'm all for about nice and look twice and you're saying and nicole 134ird saying look at d.c. and portland that are showing strong strong support as we faced 3 hours ago and . >> in chicago they're thi

but their proposed baseline is invalid because of illegal activity allowed by mta's willful failure to stop in muni's zone and this directly relates to muni which has an environmental impact and caused by the buses is another indication that a categorical exemption is invalid. i would like to refer to sightable and public authority. in the tahoe decision the district court held an agency may not escape it's duty by ignoring that duty and presenting the result by incorporated into the environmental baseline. therefore we call on you to up hold the appeal. the baseline for this categorical exemption is invalid because if it's based on the mta's willful failure to enforce the existing laws. >> next speaker? >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm sarah short. for the record, i don't like to eat at denny's either. i'm a resident of valencia street in san francisco living for 16 years. i live where the shuttle buses roll by one after another. and 24/7 and there are indeed significant impacts of this pilot project. so to have the planning department and mta declare that there are none not only g
