[inaudible] i received no appointment of a project manager. finally there is a lack of urgency and the sfmta operates on a evast time scale. i understand approval of the projects, but don't understand why it takes 2 years to pile asphalt on a roadway. i do have some suggestions. i may point out the representative from sfmta made her presentation and departed and doesn't seem interested in hearing comment from the public. i remind they are here to serve the public and not themselves i ask the leadership of sfmta attempt to create a culture of accomplishment. at a minimum when you say you will do something, do it. finally, please put in the hump. elected officials, i may suggest make the sfmta a issue. you will find many sympathetic ears among the voters, i'm sure. i have my own idea which is one of competitive government >> can we wrap it up, please? >> very good. thank you for your time and appreciate yo

. >> in terms of identifying we have staff from sfmta happy to - >> jonathan with mta there's a couple of criteria we consider first when look at our walk first cords in specific locations where we're had injuries in the past and second doing the flashing beacons it takes time to put in a traffic signal so this is effective when we might want to go to a traffic signal in the future this demonstrates the cars to slow down to help the pedestrians based on those criteria looking at whether or not it's on the corridor or past collisions we'll use to locate those. >> thank you and we're joined by supervisor farrell. >> the next request i'll just is for franklin signal upgrades our the request at a total of 32 locations on franklin and embarcadero some of the ones are on the walk first, they rank highly for the specific types of improvements the goal to bring the signals up to a higher standard of focus so the intersections will be upgraded to better view and maps installed to so the pedestrian signals will be at the intersection where no one exist other upgrades have the signal upgrades and

looking to a delay to the summer and there after, and early next year, for the final document, the sfmta is coming in, so we can keep the designs moving forward, not just for the transit but also for the pedestrian and bicycle safety because geary is a high injury network, and they also will be coming in for design funds for the main project and the good news is that we move in parallel with the sfmta and even though the process is taking longer than we would hope, and we have worked through the comments and the speed back from the committee and we anticipate going back to the community to up date them for the design options to take through to the next phase and we will be coordinating with the offices, and all of your offices to get the word out, and to share the results of these important studies that are looking bus rapid transit as well as light rail connections in the south part of the city. and the vision zero committee have the great meetings this month and we want to appreciate the boards for holding those as well as sfmta and the city staff who provided updates on the near proje

and the parking enforceers to figure out it becomes for the proposal today and in dealing with the sfmtahe e-mail responses and it's been in support of proposal not unanimous but we have the majority of support that the sfmta has received and that's consistent with the survey routines we've conducted the majority are in favor of the residential parking proposal that's where .2 halves of the paroled and not sacrificing parking for the residents >> thank you very much. >> lynn stone and others. >> hello it's good to see you in person i looked at you up era your process i have you need to table that until the permit parking situation is fixed because we have people are disabled e disabilities elderly people that can't afford it a face based community the american revolution was not fourth for the right to get parking but the freedom of religion this will have the freedom for the black churches those are the churches i'm concerned about in my neighborhood i'm concerned think about how to - b think about you run it out to move your car and have a $74 ticket if you're upset you need to talk to

about two years ago we were able to work with the department of public health and sfmta to get -- for example betty carmichael k-8 into the program but realizing that we needed a more robust strategy around the schools and how do we achieve 15 miles per hour when you're by a freeway or close to the downtown core or near valencia or cesar chavez or folium street and i want to thank in advance for the work that the departments have done with sfusd particularly around betty carmichael and [inaudible] park and working with sfmta to identify capital improvements to achieve our vision zero goals in this area and there is work done with the chinatown community and the elementary school there that we see vehicle and family student collisions as well so i heard our colleagues at the board of education may be introducing a vision zero resolution of their own to support it within our school, and today's hearing is really designed to identify how we can work collaboratively through all of our entities to put together a robust pedestrian safety strategy to achieve that. we also know that a key com

compliance with the americans with disabilities act and all security officers currently deploy at sfmta for the security will be paid the prevailing wage we wanted to address jufshlg concerns in the armed areas the result that some of the services is are no longer necessary as a more streamlined revenue collection process is in place that requires fewer personnel in the unarmed area certainly not described that situation as ideal, however given our budgetary concerns it is a decision we have to make to pay for the serviced we have, however, i'm certain the discipline and springs we'll provide condition to those continue to serve the agency over the last couple of years we've had improvement not video system and the evaluating assessment made will several recommendations we anticipate be able to pay for with a u.s. grant from the state this includes additional intrusion protection and surveillance so what is a seat protection we're in line with the sfmta to secure the assets patrons and staff i welcome our questions. >> we have can you quintessential revisit the history of what happened

place those criteria have remained relating the same for the last 40 years residential permit the sfmta doesn't initiate them but reviews and recommended if the suggestions are in an area or an expansion of the area is warranted thank you. >> great. >> so you know desperate the citizens this is a wide variety of interests and parking is a challenging topic that hits home for a lot of people so a quick overview of the presentation i'll just remind the audience of how the program works as director reiskin mentioned to discourage people with out of the area vehicles the program can't promise a parking space for everyone in the area but helps to meet the outside parking demand like the bart stations so for this proposal to is a map of the proposal as under consideration today for the majority of the area is currently unregulated there is certainly a high demand for parking ems residential parking is proposed in a blue area you'll see on the map and what that means specifically is that resident will be able to pretty much a parking for residential areas and others a two hour time period for

so back to sfmta and what we do. we have a lot of programs that work at this time to serve students and to help them travel safely two and from school and i would like to provide some context for all of what we do including those on the pedestrian safety side starting with vision zero but also talking about our safe routes to school program, the school crossing guards program and accessible services and then i'm going to turn it over to julie from our transit operations division to really dive into the transit services component as well as free muni for youth. i will note that just having listened to the presentation on summer schools that jobs and the program that muni has is well received and is a year round program and they allow students to get to activities year round including jobs. so just to spend a moment on vision zero. this is such an enormous part of our work at the mta and specifically on the sustainable streets side and i thought it was important to talk about this and i will say that december 2013 was

i am kate breen director of government ^ fares affairs for the sfmta today i'd like to thank you for your personal leadership. as we started this process really last fall and tried to tee ourselves up for a program this year with a kick off of the current 2-year session i think we learned a lot which tom just referenced there's a lot of work to do to do at the state level and we know we have allies on both sides of the aisle and we've seen legislation introduced this year by democrats from los angeles and republicans from the central valley focussed on vision zero initiatives and i'll talk about that in a minute but we don't have a bill but we still have opportunity. i also want to acknowledge the support of our advocates walk sf and the san francisco bicycle coalition have been working arm in arm with us to start socializing the concept of vision zero we have shared at the federal level the vision zero action strategy and will continue to do so and key committee staff working now on the surface transportation act and with regard to what we can do this year our current thinking and w
