reiskin pointed out they were counted on for the budget. this is critical in the new funding environment. thank you to all of you for your work. >> thank you. seeing no other public comment on this item, public comment is now closed. again, thank you to everyone. i also want to reiterate or concur with ms. schneider's comments. the inter agency department working is incredibly pornd and i know director reiskin talked about this as well. we have noticed an incredible effort at that coordination and departments that are working well together and even working more closely. they are on livable streets and mta have done so much to improve that communication. i see that director cheng wanted to make comments on that. >> thank you for making the presentation today on behalf of the city staff and agencies who are all working on this topic. project delivery has been not only a focus of the last two 2 years but really the last several years we've seen the city step up and start delivering much more consistently and working with one another and workin

reiskin.on was really around what was the effort around negotiationses around the titan contract because it was really clear what my position was on the wraps and on the digital arts. i didn't want to be any wraps at all, but certainly wanted to see it come down from 30 to 15. that didn't happen. i understand we're trying to build flexibility in your budget and i've been very supportive of that. i've actually helped to get revenue into the city in large amounts through first the real estate transfer tax increase that was done in 2010 and then making sure that we had a revenue generating gross receipts tax. those monies that have come in have actually enabled muni to increase its baseline support from the general fund. and, so, i've been really making sure that we can actually have the support for muni through raising revenue. in this case we're talking about $325,000 that is or potentially $800,000 that could be what we could bring in from having the wraps. but i'm not hearing that there was a

that concludes my report. >> thank you, director reiskin.embers of the board, questions or comments? members of the publickb questions or comments on director's report, seeing none, miss boomer. >> item 8 citizens advisory committee report. >> i think i saw mr. weaver here. mr. weaver. chairman weaver, come forward, please. good afternoon, mr. weaver. >> good afternoon. got some motions that we have adopted to present to you today. i believe you previously received a copy of these. motion no. 1 came to our attention at the last meeting that the milan historic streetcars arrived in san francisco not making loud noises, but the noises seem to get louder and louder. so we suggest that the mta try to figure out what is going on? perhaps talk to the people back in milan about them, and try to fix it. so that they can continue to be used. next motion has to do with -- that the mta prioritize planning and implementation for suitable shelter for historic streetcars stored at metro east. i guess since we have passed this motion, it's become clear tha

as i understand it, director reiskin? >> that's correct. >> okay. with that in mind, i would sort of like to be counted as one of the 11 who would want to see a limit of 15 so that you have that. i just wanted to be on the record as saying that and i know there are a number of others who are in the same boat. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you. i just wanted to give director reiskin an opportunity to come and speak to some of the proposals -- well, let me be clear. my suggestion and supervisor kim's suggestion, i think supervisor breed also is on board. if you can come on board and say, hey, we'll be able to extend passes to low-income youth and seniors and to supervisor kim's point, yes, free muni passes for youth has been granted. but correct me if i'm wrong. that's a two-year commitment. i'm thinking long term beyond that. so, if there is a way for us to capture this it and codify it or i guess memorialize it in a contract i think we can do that. sounds like we might even be able to get up to 20. supervisor yee was throwing out 20. so, what do you

county family i'm happy to ask you to join me in welcoming our mayor, mayor ed lee >> thank you edward reiskin and congratulations. i'm sdlltd to be here with our board president david chiu and i'm sure he's 4th of july which successor team a head and supervisor wiener the district supervisor where i live in that's good as well and you're right i know ed mentioned all the agencies that have been working together and the county the m t c and the liaison representative for caltrain thank you and the board but most important with this milestone i want to thank the community leaders in chinatown and the north telegraph hill they've been pushing this and the signs in the back finishing the subway delighted to see that that that reenforces a decision about 20 or 25 years ago, thirty years ago we were struggling because we already knew the thirty line was filled ed described and people telling us we've got to improve the transportation system north and south here in the city. this toounl of the two machines today is a mill stoop because literally if you get our right hat on the south central team all

reiskin for the status. >> director reiskin do you want to add anything? >> i will just add as carol said, i have been participating and meeting with my peers from the larger transit systems in the bay area and smaller ones in discussion about the present and future of clipper, probably for the last year and a half or so. and i think the presentations kind of laid out there is a lot of great things that clipper provides today, and it's an amenity that i think many of our riders really value and appreciate, especially when it's working for them. there are some limitations as one of the last slides showed in terms of the technology, in terms of contract that we have. so we're very eager to be working across the region and with the mtc on what that next generation is, and looks like, and it is good. i think as carol said, that we are not on the leading edge now; that there is a lot of experience developing across the country and we're learning from the good and not so good as well and hoping to come out of it with a much better, more modern and flexible custo

. >> what i was going to do is give props to ed reiskin for input. i know it puts you in a catch 22 at times because we want the projects to go more quickly. i appreciate you getting a balance to both sides to get strong community input before finalizing your projects and your expertise with department of public works and mr. reiskin, i know you as ed that rides the bike everywhere and takes transit to get to all of our meetings. i know despite the catch 22 that we put you in that you are working to achieve all of these major goals and i appreciate the improvement that supervisor breed and i are constituents have benefited from and especially balboa and painting and other efforts. i know there is that effort on your part and staff to try. i really appreciate it quite a bit. >> thank you, the support that we get from your offices sometimes working through this makes it beneficial. we appreciate that as well. a final example. i believe this is in the planning phase right now, but similar improvements along 24th street in the mission where there is a lo

reiskin, did you want to address this? >> let me ask andy thornley who has been managing this program. i think i heard only one specific location that is on the agenda here, being raised by a public speaker. i don't know if mr. thornley can speak to that. >> bjaranson, i'm andy thornley with your sustainable streets division and i'm the project manager on this project. very quickly, this board july 16th approved the car share policy all together and particularly this pilot program. made amendments to the transportation code, basically saidset the table to go ahead. since last july, which is embarrassingly almost a year ago we have been moving forward with due [tkhr-eubs/], but deliberation and some caution and our eyes open to realize the project. we have three organizations that qualified and you heard from representatives, zip car, get around and city car share here and they could take questions on the particulars of this, but in short, once we qualify the participants we said please let us know where you think parking s

and edward reiskin said he had a name for it it's called daylight savings time daylighting it's a well known practice within sfmta but they have a construction timeline or schedule they were moving westward and even though the statistics suggest there are certain intersections on the outer fulton area that have state of california more accidents than others they're not jumping their construction timetables to address those particular intersections that are problem. my request to the commission and i don't know if they have the authority to do it would be to write director reiskin and to the board of sfmta asking them to jump their timeline and address the daylighting issue on certain streets crossings i generally think it's 38 avenue and beyond where the parking goes up to the crosswalks if you have an issue with a large r v or vehicle there's no oncoming view i've been trapped at the safeway there you are it's an ankle last year distance and 9 out of 10 pedestrians and the drivers can see each other you need the distance i ask you to write a letter if at all you possibly ca can ask th

.) >> morning i had a similar experience that edward reiskin had this morning i got on the subway at castro station and remember thinking that will be nice to switch over to the strool subway instead of walking i got on the 45 and basically was hanging off the edge of the bus i jousted getting to know a number of chinatown residents but it would have been nice to hop on the subway and had more capacity. we know that san francisco is growing we know we're having one hundred and 50 thousand residents $2 million residents in 2040 and can't assume everyone is going to have a car we don't have the space we have too much congestion we have to expand our public transportation capacity and that means adding to what we have and adding new lines like the central subway we have to make sure this extends to fisherman's wharf mayor ed lee is an advocate for the project and president chiu and our community transportation authority because of the sales tax transportation funding thank you to the voters has provided more $120 million including 43 millions for those boring machines it's been a great

are there any questions and director reiskin >> yes. first of all, the safety record is outstanding i think it's important to talk about this and i just want to commend the whole team to make sure that project is happening without people getting hurt. >> with regards to the schedule the e i think the by an is excellent but we've lost is seeing where the kind of critical path items are we had some items that had xeroflo and yet we're getting detailed and the schedule is a concern but this is hard to see where we have still schedule changes. >> right the specific activities are appear to be on the critical path so we're trying to track those primarily the steel continues to show on the critical path and getting through the concrete pours were critical we're back on track for the steel to be erected when it's available so, yeah we continue to work on a more straight critical path type of delay and i believe that's addressed in the monthly report. >> yeah. we got that last night. based on the current expectation of the timing of the lease t

reiskin. >> good afternoon, president chiu, members of the board. i'm [speaker not understood] reiskin, [speaker not understood] of the mta. i'd like to start by saying the mta took a very deliberative process over the last two months to develop its operating and two-year capital budget. it's one like every other budget that's developed in the city and elsewhere, really reflects a lot of different decisions and a lot of different trade-offs, but one that i believe in sum is a very strong budget in terms of advancing the city's transportation, environmental, and safety goals. some of the highlights of the budget include a 10% increase in muni transit service. increased funding [speaker not understood] to help muni work better in the streets, implementation dollars for vision zero, bike and pedestrian safety improvements as well as other improvements in the right-of-way. the continuation and really making permanent the free muni for low and moderate income youth program as well as funding to initiate free muni for seniors and people with disabilities

we have director reiskin from sf mta to deliver the process. >> good afternoon, chairperson of the committee ed reiskin on behalf of sf mta and dpw to give you information on the progress that you previously requested. this slide will show what i will walk through here and we'll have staff here to help me answer any difficult questions that you have. maybe before i start i will say i do appreciate the leadership that the commission is putting forth with regard to vision zero. i have been out a lot in the community lately talking about the transportation 2030 plan and when it comes to talking about vision zero and about the city seeing the people dying in the streets is not okay, it's not something that we should accept here and talking about the goal of vision zero of getting to zero traffic death in 10 years. i hear and see a lot of support for that and the preponderance -- public is behind this and i thank you for your leadership in this. in terms of project delivery is what we are going to do a lot of to achieve vision zero. this site reflects a lot of work that has been done in recent ye

director reiskin? >> so when i saw the agenda title it seemed to be a concept of operations and i think you had spoken in the past of developing one for the center obviously absolutely essential and when i read the item correctly, this is just a kind of for safety and security so i guess the two questions are and for just that subset it's quite a bit of money so my two questions are is this meant to be a subset of an overall conops for the transbay transit center or is this it or if not when would it be done how would it be integrated why would we do this as a standalone or am i miss understanding this all? >> oh no. no. no. what quadrants will be open when for example what time would we open or close the park so it's really all incl u.s. ive. >> it really is all inclusive. >> we're actually getting a good value. >> it's actually low cost it was higher than the number that ross and baruzzini came in with. >> what integration would be necessary or good with the transbay tour? >> primary up on the roof t
