that's pretty much it. >> supervisor ronen: just one quick question for you. what we've known is that the new style trash cans, while they're more attractive, the way they're designed, the trash gets in between the can itself and the green metal surrounding and they happen to be really problematic at the 16th bart station. is there any way to replace the cans so they're designed to actually capture the trash completely as opposed to falling over the side. >> we are working actually on a new trash can design. we recognized that and have seen that. what is supposed to happen, our workers are supposed to go around and pull the can out and clean it. but they're not there often enough to make that happen. that was a limitation of the design. we're working on a new one where you won't be able to put your hand inside, so you won't see it. >> supervisor ronen: fantastic. the other thing, we have seen downtown streets out in the area recently. and it's been wonderful. so we're looking forward to talking to them about continuing that work. you know, as you said in the b

. >> vice chair ronen: great. i have three quick questions. when the hot team encounters someone who is homeless because we know not everyone is homeless who is hanging out or spending time in b.a.r.t. stations, is one of the referrals that they make or connections that they make to they're congratulations center -- they're congratulations -- navigation center beds? >> yeah. we have one day shelter beds. we have resource centers people can go to, to get into the system so they can be registered for the shelter. and occasionally when we have beds available, we can refer folks there. but those are frankly few and far between. but, yeah, they do have access to those beds. >> vice chair ronen: so, we will be talking about that more in our next hearing on navigation centers but it seems like that's the essential. that the hot teams members are only as successful as there's a solution at the back-end they're able to provide. i'm interested in expanding this model of m.t.a. and bar.a.r.t. d other city agencies that can focus on 16th street b.a.r.t. s

i want to thank you, supervisor ronen, for calling this hearing. it is good to see our elected officials speaking up for riders. we all know this extends beyond 16th street. this is into every b.a.r.t. station and train. i hear b.a.r.t. is making plans to tackle the quality of life issue, and that's great. i also read an article that was headlines "b.a.r.t. listening to riders to clean up its act". and i'm trying to figure out how it got to this point where it is nearly unbearable to step into a station. i recognize that is a country wide issue but i have to call it out. ridership is down on b.a.r.t. to a point where a supervisor had to get involved before b.a.r.t. took this issue seriously. transit riders have been singing this tune for years. despite the shade, sorry, b.a.r.t. i want to say i'm encouraged by this and i think this is a step in the right direction. there are, of course, additional issues that i think transit riders would love to see as part of improving b.a.r.t., including >> next speaker, please. >> public: thank you for doing thi

[applause] >> thank you, supervisor ronen. many of the comments have been made, but i want to thank assembly member ting and chu for their leadership in sacramento. homelessness is a statewide issue, it is not just a san francisco issue. we will never solve homelessness if we treat it just as a regional issue. we absolutely must have a statewide solution. and as was mentioned previously, we host close to 20-25% of the entire nation homeless count in this state. i want to thank both of them for leading the first grant ever for navigation centers here in san francisco, which will get us a quarter, 25% of the way there, to mayor ed lee's goal of getting one thousand people off the streets into navigation centers. i want to thank the residents in districts 6, 9 and 10 who have been generous, understanding, that in order to get people off the street, we need to place navigation centers in their neighborhoods by their home. the district where i represent, where supervisor ronen mentioned, we see 50% of the homeless count and the vas

. >> vice chair ronen: i would love to chime in here. i couldn't agree more with my colleague, jeff sheehy. and this is something that you and i have been arguing about for quite some time, jeff. i'm actually looking into legislating around this point because i don't think it is an either or proposition. i think we have to start being honest about what we need to solve our street homelessness crisis in this city. if we just keep sort of working around the edges and adding a couple of beds here and there and having individual supervisors fight to get a navigation center in her district and solve the problem in her neighborhood only, we are going to continue to have san francis franciscoians get fed up. before mayor lee passed away, he made a pledge to add a thousand new beds to the system. is that what is in your budget >> we need to see that kind of investment from the mayor's office. i see jim in the crowd. i have talked to the chamber of commissioners and the golden gate restoration. they want to help but they want to see a dpifrns in
