when i asked what sfmta was doing, that was the response. but i think what you are saying is, no, this is the basket what we would be doing. what is sfmta doing? >> that has not been --. >> has it even been broached. it doesn't sound like kirsten even knows there's supposed to be beautification on the site. >> we can talk about oots things but nothing has been penciled into the mou that says this is specifically what's going to be done. but it's not going to be ignored. >> if we were to approve the extension i would want to, i think, see, have you or someone else come back and talk about specifically what will be done to, pursuant to what looks like requirements here and maybe not but that creates a bigger issue to beautify or at least upgrade that particular site. you know, looking at the pictures now it looks pretty dismal. i read it too that something was going to be done be it greening along the sidewalk, putting up trees or at least do something so you are not looking at a maintenance shop there. >> we will --. >> but not with the south

we have been coordinating with the mayor's office and the sfmta and others agencies as well as the sales force agencies known as the self-help coalition we had visits from sacramento this month to discuss our hopes and advocacy around cap and trade other statewide efforts we met with senator leno and others as well as staff from the pro tems office as well as support for our priority likes high speed rail and transit and other needs as affordable housing. we talked about pedestrian safety and vision zero they very much support our efforts they're an effort to help to explore awkward tucks and legislation in conjunction with sfmta and we talked about clean up legislation we're purring for treasure island mobility management programs. at the local level chair avalos talked about the workshops it's been a good way to start the process there's a lot of good work we need to share citywide and we hope all the open houses continue to attract the public we're getting good suggestions that are equitable and effective way to move forward in terms of investments last time we got proposals from the

an example is for us sfmta will be able to critique circle tracks. another piece of good news the sfmta has adapted the transit effectiveness project and finishing the phase and the venice project is on your desk for both projects we're vshtd designs with our staff and trying to assure that each of those is reviewed we'll be holding an enter departmental meeting to finalize the outstanding issues around scope and cost and schedule and be bringing a report back on both projects. next, we want to drawing your attention to the yerba buena island ramp project the construction is under a way we're encountering an urban accepted challenge of north of birds on the island. we've identified this was anticipated with the environmental input report trying to cooperate with caltrain with the costs of working around the birds north site but if the north hablz continue there will be a delay so to offset that we're letting the contractor work on other parts we'll bring an update to see how we can work around this challenge. we're pleased and thank the board for spe

we believe that sfmta should move forward now and continue to plan for expansion. with respect to administration and operations the best model would be administrative happening with a partnership between a nonprofit and agency and operations by a private sector contractor. we also think we need dedicated staffing at the recreational and local level there needs to be a bike sharing in place so he know what the cost sharing will be. since march we've had a number of comments most of the comments are chair bryan larkin referred to the geographic entity and social equity and how to identify the goals that are being met. there is some, some concerns the company that provides the infrastructure for the current pilot has filed for bankruptcy in january we're still waiting with fingers crossed as a result of that so that's come up. and we've received a atheist letter from a coalition of bicycle rental companies that are on the ground existing with the bike sharing system and are concerned and wanting to make sure that as we moved it's contrary to yourselfs the bike rental

. >> thank you good afternoon, supervisors i'm sheryl brinkman ii happy service on the sfmta board of directors but i'm not here with that hat. thank you for this. i firmly believe we can build save streets and accommodate the emergency vehicles i know what calendared staff we have at sfmta we also have an amazing opportunity to build the neighborhoods that will be safe and welcome for all road users and help us to meet the vision zero and goals and an opportunity that a lot of cities would love to have thank you to your oversight 10 to 15 years from now the board of supervisors or sfmta is not trying to see how those streets would be safe they are will be. in the hearing today we've heard a lot of good ideas to accommodate the fire department and the speakers have good ideas. i think that using the example of extreme conditions that are horrible didn't help the conversation it circulates the fear in people. i think we have more to fear from everyday poorly designed streets from the conscionable horrible concentration we see. i'm confident we can moved with compromises >> thank you. >

. >> he'll talk about the efforts sfmta is doing. >> mexico city a was a clear channel just the ideas that have came up. >> good morning. so the answer is that we have working with the mayor's office julian specifically and we have a fundraiser i understand the mayor's office is working with now sort of looking at did organizational infrastructure needed to have a full scale effort we have this fundraiser and a nonprofit equivalent organization so we can't accept private donations but we're in the thick of developing the materials to we can put the hard sale on the sponsors >> yeah. i'm an annual member i and my staff use the bike share program to get to meetings and various events. i think karen from the bay area quality management district has a good track record shooe showing she explains how successful but to the next level is takes sponsors. i think some of the areas of improvement have really been looked at and i'm pleased about the clipper card us to be able to use clipper cards it's hard to use the t that you stick in the slot. i had a question of multiple private sectors like

the next project that sfmta is requesting 21 thousand in improvements why the mission go district and the specific spending is upgrading the walking and maps and developing the conceptual be designs and finding the designs to be acceptable. and the exciting part is mta wants to implement the low cost treatments as part of the implementation effort. mta will begin the planning by october of this year and expects to complete by the february 2015 and the early implementation projects by june of this year this will position the discretionary rents for the full implementation. on next the traffic survey project the matt is requesting money for bicyclist and norm in favor of riding to major changes from pedestrian safety and mta anticipates to start the surveys for the bicycle projects from july that's been updated to start as early as july and the prop k funds to cover the surveys wore one and a half years. the next mta is requesting 54 thousand prop k opportunity the design of 8 locations and 4 of them on lake street has been constructed with prop b bond and mta anticipates beginning the

i want to say that sfmta isn't here in 0 support of the compromise to strip out the digital advertising. that decision the way that's written you're going to lose control of the aspect of the contract for the next 15 years that's being soft pedestrian he would their start selling the ads there's a driver distraction problem and indeed this didn't contributor to personal injury there will be personal injury lawyers that will be making the cats i'll district copies if israel and other criticize that
