sf mta has a personal responsibility to help people get out of cars. thank you. mr. golden, welcome back. >> i'd like to voice my dissatisfaction at the 1250 total scooter cap. if we want to reach our mode share goal as a city, we have to increase the choices of mobility. this cap only gives us a small fraction of the number of tnc's on our streets. if somebody's deciding between a car and a scooter, and the nearest scooter is six blocks away, but they can get an uber in two minutes, their choice is clear. if this permit limits this too much, we will have lost the chance to add this low impact mode to our choice of options in the city. as to our issue of sidewalk parking, i think we've misappropriated the space dedicated to storing our different mobility devices. we've devoted many square miles on our streets to the storage of cars, but almost none to storing bicycles, scooters, etcetera. the result is a storage of bikes and scooters on precious pedestrian space. we shouldn't ride our bikes and scooters on the sidewalks. why are we parking them there? i'm primarily a

we've asked the sf mta, and we've heard for them to make some reforms. they are going to present on those reforms today as to how it relates to each member of this board of supervisors will interact with the sf mta, in terms of staffing, in terms of engineers and planners, and so on, as well as what they see going forward. and then, we'll get into some of the details of this legislation. but essentially, it allows us to have some review over some areas of concern that often come up the most when -- when they are highlighted to us as members of the board of supervisors. so we have the review under this legislation to discuss green, blue, yellow, white zones, street sweeping, parking restriction, taxi stands, shuttle zones, tour bus zones, so essentially, some of the temporary stopping zones. parking time limits for meters. also, the residential parking permit program, stop signs, as well as car share parking and vanpool parking and on street parking restriction, motorcycle parking only, and then some vehicle size over height of 6 feet, oversize vehicle re

it replaces the sf mta logo known as the grand union. after public testing and design with focus groups as well as lots of conversations internally, we selected this design to you know identify the agency. making a visual connection with the iconic muni worm. when we tested this with people, they recognized there was a clear connection between sf mta and muni. they iced words like comforting and warm to describe the new look. i want to let you know that the beloved logo will still remain on all of our uniforms and it continues to reflect our muni services. this new symbol reflects our transit roots, and the m. logo stands for municipal in our name. we think this will fit in really well. the blue color is representative of our heritage of the former department of parking and traffic, and our connection to the city and county of san francisco. through this new look we're showing that we all belong to a single transportation agency, and that we're one agency connected. whether you take muni, walk bike or drive, we want you to understand it'

what is lacking right now is the implementation of the long range transportation plan which you, sf mta, sf cta, with the water emergency transportation is also in the area, all of you need to come together, vice chairman, to help us out. so thank you for your time on passing this project. >> thank you. dr. honeycutt. >> good to see you. i am dr. veronica honeycutt, and i am the chair for the c.a.c. for the shipyard. and i want you to know that we at the c.a.c. have meticulously -- i can't tell you how many hours we've put in in reviewing all aspects of the plans, including the transportation plans. and i like the word robust. it's been used about three or four times today, but i'll read right to it. it is a robust and comprehensive plan. it is improved, as you can tell. and to be honest with you, the southeast deserves this kind of a plan. we deserve something really nice out there, okay? so we on the c.a.c. urge you to approve the concept plan. now in my role as the chair of the c.a.c., and as the volunteer and advocate for god knows how many years, i am an advocate for the shipyard,

i'm planning director of the sf mta. the item before you today pertains to the transportation plan for one of the major changes that is underway in the landscape of san francisco, so very different scale of discussion than your previous item. this is the candlestick point and hunters point shipyard master plan. so k ofi bonner, regional director of five point, which is the developer, as well as the regional vice president of commercial, residential and entitlement are here today, and you will be hear from five point later on. after this presentation, therese brekki will walk you through the project, and then chris mitchell who has been embedded in the technical transportation for this project for a very significant portion of his life for this point will bring you through the transportation plan. also -- >> that's how he feels about this meeting. >> i believe so. also here today are lei leila hussein and sally hirth from ocii. it's the predecessor to the san francisco redevelopment agency and is responsible for implement

tom mcguire director of the sustainable streets portion of the sf meat. -- sf mta. i will try to move quickly through this. as supervisor peskin said since i was here before you last fall, when we first started talking about legislation and charter amendments, you certainly have gotten our attention. i promised i would come visit each of your offices, talk to you and your staffs about ways we could be more nimble, transparent, engaged and responsible in some of the things that we did with you, and some of the internal changes that we did in the mta started to change the expectation of responsiveness in the board. the first thing i wanted to mention was the reorganization of our planning team. supervisor safai has pointed out the importance of organization and prioritizing the needs of this board in our -- in our organization. we've dedicated senior staff as part of a community response team that is there to give focused attention to priority issues of the supervisors, not issues that are our priorities, not issues that are the things that are necessarily part of our

so i first wanted to say as the sf mta i support these emerging options. we are happy that the private sector is getting involved and providing innovative new ways for people to get around the city as the scooters provide a last mile solution. we are really excited to see that continue. however, we are proceeding with some cautious optimism because we know that there are potential issues with this and have been issues on the streets and we want to make sure that as we step in as a governmental agency we have the opportunity to make sure these things are meeting the public interest. so a little bit of background on the scooter system themselves. you may have seen these on the streets. they have been out there for just about six weeks in san francisco and in a few other cities in the u.s. a little bit longer. they are really new. it's a new model. it's similar to what you see in our dock less bike share system, you use the app to find a scooter near you and to unlock the scooter and then you can drive it to your final destination which you don't need to have

. >> i'm travis bach, chief financial officer for sf mta. in her nine years or nearly nine years with the agency, ann's spent her time on a number of initiatives including planning projects like our prior strategic plan, participating in connectsf and also playing a critical role in the board shops that happen every year. but really while those accomplishments are so plentiful, today i want to focus on her leadership role and driving force in our agency strategic plan. as you know, development of the plan was no small task. it requires extensive planning work with management and staff across the agency, coordination with external stakeholders and serious follow through. i can't imagine anyone better for a planning project this like ann given the planning required. equally important to the process, ann ease unique in that she excelled in explaining things at the high level, while having the solid pragmatic and management skills to get things done. she gets things done, and she's a great part of our team, and it's my pleasure to award this to

i know there's been a sort of halting of this problem of late, but there have been talked with sf mta that would help attempt to get more services to those individuals living in campers. so i know that this is on our list for things that we might be able to see on appeal, but today, i'm using this opportunity to say that i want the department and the board to really move forward with that idea that you had chaired with me, director, because i do like it very much, and i think it's a great way for us to address the issues that we see with the campers, but yeah, helping the individuals in need. okay. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: yeah. i just have a couple of things that i wanted to ask. so i just wanted to ask director reiskin to come back up for a second, if he has a minute. so i just kind of wanted to go back to my issue about the -- the staffing and the reorganization, and i know we talked about that. and we've talked about that for a long time. but what's a firm date in terms of your community response tea understanding as to why these bike stations are not included in our

i understand that we should have worked more cooperatively with the city and the sf mta. i'd like to focus on we have followed the law. we met with the city attorney and he believes that our issues were some of our users were not following the law. we think we can solve all of the issues with parking and riding with education and enforcement and some simple things like painting squares on sidewalks for parking. what i'd like to focus on is bird trips can solve car trips. 40% of car trips are under two miles. the average bird trip is 1.5 miles. a bird trip is a fraction of the ride share trip. it's accessible transportation for those who need transportation with zero emissions. we add scooters only when they're used on average three times a day, and every night they're all moved. i read a column in the chronicle on sunday entitled road rage by willie brown and it said i was one of the thousands people stuck in traffic in downtown san francisco this week, and the numbers are growing daily. it took 15 minutes to go three blocks. finally, i started to work. it ended, no wonde

sf mta should consider limiting the number of scooters stocked

we're doing this, protecting our fellow citizens because this board and sf mta will not. we'll be placing kate slatery's ghost bike on the corner of sloat and howard. we can move the bike lane -- protective bike lane to the other side of the road. i know our agency is capable of this, and you will want to have a plan in place by june 22nd of this year because this will be in the press. then your staff will have to answer questions about why this lane after a mayoral directive, after that death and constant dangerous situations has not been addressed. so please make this a priority, and i will continue to come here and make sure we do. >> thank you, mr. briseno. next speaker, please. mr. golden, welcome. >> good afternoon. i'd like to, mirror the suggestion for a protected bike lane on howard and 7th. as you mentioned, 2016, kate slatery was killed in a hit and will not collision. few days later mayor ed lee held a press conference and said we would see quick action on an already proposed plan for infrastructure improvements, but almost two years later, we've seen nothing

but i think in its inception about separation of powers and the way of removing politics from the sf mta, the intent was never to create one final authorizing area, it was more about trying to remove politics but in effect, we ended up putting one elected official in charge of by appointment power for the commissioners, as well as the recommendation of the executive director and otherwise. so what we had attempted to do in our conversation was essentially begin a conversation about how -- at least from my perspective, some of the microissues -- how some of the neighborhood affecting issues, the smaller, more micro-hassissues in terms whether it's a stop sign, whether it's a traffic calming, whether it's pedestrian safety, whether it's vision zero or under all of those principles, whether it's permit parking, meter parking, some of the bike stations, residential permit parking. these are the things that i have heard about the most more frequently than any other issue that comes up as an elected member of the board of supervisors, but the frustration lied in the fact that we ultimately had

the sf mta inspected the track when they arrived.ved it, paid for it, oversaw its installation, long ago. tutor also says the company will replace the rail as directed. it will have no impact delaying the already delayed project beyond the projected 2019 completion date. however, he says he will charge for and expect payment for the replacement of that track. spectre hasn't been a contract modification to change that specification. so the standard grade rail wasn't solved and we are asking them to remove that. >> audit and oversight committee. we have to get a hold of these runaway contracts and overruns and expenses. >> reporter: this all could be settled rather quickly if both the parties agree to binding mediation or arbitration. but it must be running, otherwise it will end up in the courts and that will go on a lot longer than it will take to complete this project. the taxpayers will surely foot the bill. tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> 4:17. it's already a busy morning in our meats. sal, tell us more about highway 24 and everyt

office has been working really closely with the tax collector's office, the controller's office, the sf mta, the sf cta and supervisor peskin introduced a commercial tax receipts in december, which was one of the top vote getters out of the top options that the task force put together. subsequently, a couple months later or a month later, his colleagues introduced competing grocery receipts measure, which we realized that that conversation -- important conversation was not going to be able to happen without causing a bit of a kerfluffle -- >> president hillis: sorry. can we just avoid other conversations back there? we can hear you guys. thank you. sorry, miss angulo. >> thank you. so here we are. we are going down the list of recommendations from the task force. we're really trying to identify how we're going to find this money both for infrastructure and transportations. and one of the recommendations was to look at this again, increase it to compensate for the impact that commercial development is having citywide, not just in the downtown area and south of market areas. and so, you know,
