also heard the presentation from sfmta staff given to the board of supervisors government audit and oversightdecember 5 about muni operator issues. the message from that presentation was, again, about the need for internal coordination so that the perfect storm that occurred last summer with regard to muni operator shortages in the midst of the twin peaks tunnel shutdown could and can be avoided. turning to your agenda today, regarding item seven, the c.a.c. adopted a motion of support in $3.5 million for prop k requests. and the pilot project underway between market and 15 streets on the valencia corridor. c.a.c. members were particularly interested in the performance of the protected concrete school loading islands and the safety of students crossing the bikeway from the island to the sidewalk. in addition, there was discussion about solutions for double parking and bike way blocking on the valencia corridor. improved management and extended parking times, staying loading zones were potential exclusions being studied in the pilot: c.a.c. was enthusiastic about hearing the project's findings

i am asking sfmta to explain this practice to the board and the public, why and how often it is used, and how we can prevent switchbacks. our office has heard from constituents every single day who have had their commutes and lives interrupted and delayed by switchbacks. they deserve answers, i would also like to recognize my cosponsors for this hearing, supervisors walton and safai. i am submitting inquiry to gather information to inform potential policies to provide financial incentives to single-family and multifamily home owners to construct accessory dwelling units as an affordable housing strategy. we need to explore all possible options to build affordable housing. a.d.u.s are an underutilized solution appropriate for my district, and many others. despite efforts to streamline the a.d.u. permitting process, a very few have been built, only 23 in 2017, the last year for which the planning department has data. the estimated cost to build and a.d.u. is $200,000, which is prohibitive for many homeowners. while streamlining the process is very important, and i applaud all the work t
