we have 77% of eligible san franciscans now fully vaccinated in our city. so this is a remarkable achievement and, i think while the next few weeks will be very challenging and we're seeing covid-19 increase dramatically in our city, it's very important to remember that hundreds if not thousands of lives have been saved. we're in a much better place than during the fall and winter surge because people are vaccinated. because these vaccines work. because they keep you out of the hospital. because they are saving lives as we speak. if you are not vaccinated in san francisco. this is not a good time to be vaccinated. the delta variant is here. it accounts for more than 90% of our cases now. and it is a highly transmissible and there's emerging evidence that it's more likely that you would end up in the hospital compared to the virus we were dealing with just a few months ago. this is covid on steroids. the difference now between being vaccinated and not getting vax if you do get covid-19, it could be -- if you're vaccinated versus not vaccinated, it could be t

i am a fourth generation san franciscan. in december, this building will be 103 years of age. it is an incredibly rich, rich history.

all this time, san franciscans is done due diligence. let me say one thing. very clearly. politicians in san francisco today are corrupt. we can see it when they choose candidates and participate in the adjudications they make. you can also see it with the recalls. i been here for a long time. 40 years. we have had ballots that we have fought because of corruption within san francisco and our city attorney. while we may think that we can expand vote-by-mail for exclusively municipal elections, that is just fluff. really? if you want it to work, you have to have people that represent who are morally and ethically sound. we have to have standards. we cannot get -- you have a dark cloud hovering over the san francisco public utilities commission and you supervisors have no transparency. we want good people to represent by voting. can we get a good representation from the politicians? let's -- that's the million dollar question. thank you very much. >> supervisor peskin: are there any other members of the public for this item? >> clerk: there are no more people in the queue fo

important we are enjoying our city and we are making these cable cars available to the public, to san franciscans, for the month of august at no charge. so what does that mean? well, you know what happens when someone gives you something free. that means you have to be patient because during the month of august, typically what will be happening is these operators that are with me today would normally be testing the equipment, making sure things are running smoothly, making sure that they are safe and making sure that the public is safe, so, please, listen to your operators, be patient, be understanding. this is a process. there is not going to be a complete time schedule, right. yes. but there will be fun and it is worth the wait. you know, san francisco, i can't think of this city without cable cars. and i can't think of this city without all of the great things that we know, love, and treasure. when people come to visit our city, they come downtown here in union square. they go to pier 39 and the fary building. they visit the crooked road on lumbard street. no trip to san francisco is complete

the fact is that we should be proud of san franciscans. when i asked you all over a year ago to shelter in place and basically change your entire lives to support one another and ensure this virus didn't spread. you answered the call, you stepped up, you did your part. our health care workers showed up to the hospital to take care of those who unfortunately contracted the virus. but ultimately, we saw the best of the people of this city. and now, we need just a little bit more. and, again, going back to where we are. we've seen in this city 78% of people in san francisco have been fully vaccinated. that's still more than any place else in the country. and i know the rest of you all are coming kicking and screening, but let me explain why this is so important. it's important because kids under the age of 12 cannot be vaccinated. so we have to make sure we're protecting them. it's important because there are still people who are elderly and sick and those with underlying health conditions that may not be eligible for the vaccine. we're doing

so in other words, if funding allows, instead of 85%, 100%, does that mean that san franciscans could expect that all their lines would be back? >> we're going to be looking at three scenarios. one keeps it familiar and we'd be bringing the routes back as designed precovid, and we'll also be sharing with the public three alternatives to reinvest in new service to help people make new connections. >> i think it's important to note that in the scenario that brings back all the lines, there would be 15% less service on each of those lines. so that's our fundamental choice. do we try to hold onto the services and ideas that we developed during covid or go back to the services that were already lacking precovid? >> chair preston: i understand there is a a planning process that -- there is a planning process that you started around different options, but when we're talking about 100% of service, that does not necessarily mean the return of all the lines that people had before the pandemic. is that right? >> so to clarify, we will be looking at three scenarios, and one of the scenarios inclu

we're speaking with san franciscans to understand how slow streets are working for them. we sent out surveys living within a quarter mile of the slow streets. we sent out over 100,000 post cards to residents and we received over 15,000 responses, giving us even better data about how slow streets are working. now we're advancing our materials. the original barricades we used last year are maintained. so we're now installing materials that are more durable than the barricades deployed last year. new materials including posts in the roadways and road closed are rolling out on slow streets. i want to address these new materials are not perfect. over the weekend we learned that newly installed delineators were cut down with a power saw in the middle of the night. we're currently investigating ways to harden the materials as we continue to try out the materials. we're continuing to build the plane as we fly it. the biggest thing we've been working on in the past few months is figuring out to do with the network of slow streets created. we've developed an approach to determine i

supervisor safai -- [laughter] >> let me just say we see this delta variant taking flight. 77% of san franciscans are fully vaccinated and that's absolutely incredible and we should be proud. there's clearly more work to be done. kids under the age of 12, cannot be vaccinated at this time. and we know that kids will go back to school and we have a commitment from the school that will occur. we have to protect our children. people who are hospitalized now are younger than they were at the beginning of this pandemic. so we have to think about what is happening with this delta variant and the need to make sure ha we do our part. yes, we are looking at mask mandates for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. yes, we are looking at mandatory vaccines for folks who are not just city employees. we are looking at those with the city attorney's office now and as soon as we have the details of what we are able to do, we will do them. we do not make these decisions lightly. it's very difficult to move move and felt like we came out and but the celebration can't completely start until more people are vaccinated

after numerous killings of -- by the sfpd of san franciscans, mostly black and brown, particularly from 2014 to 2015. the d.o.j. came to san francisco in 2016 as the city hit a boiling point of unrest. the former chief was made to resign after months of protests calling for his ouster. in the years that the sfpd has been reporting its prorace statistics from 2016 to the present, the antiblack disparity has continued unabated. black san franciscans are suffering with no action by the sfpd or city officials who could hold sfpd accountable. even as sfpd brings down total arrests and use of force, even as it changes its actions so that fewer of these actions happen, the antiblack racism in sfpd remains. an analysis this year reported in 538.com names san francisco as one of the worst racist police departments in the nation and called for the biden administration to call in the d.o.j. for a patterns and off make their top priority correcting sfpds on going antiblackness. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, caller. good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> hello. my name is jean bridges, and
