market street is the city's busiest street for people walking, biking or taking transit.it is a cultural civic and commercial boulevard. yet, the collision rate within the project area is over 20 20 times the state average. it includes three of the top five intersections for cyclist involved and two of the top five for pedestrian involved injuries. there is a high concentration of vulnerable people including children, seniors and people with disabilities living and working on the corridor. one of the key objectives is to improve safety and accessibility on market street. other issues for existing conditions include lack of bike lane east of eighth street, aging infrom structure and transit stops that don't meet the current ada standards. it is in this context the partner departments developed market street. it will improve safety conditions. . >> the proposed project is to have a sidewalk level by client. -- level bike lane. that is different than what we have to date which is a transit taxiway. than we have the curb lanes got 11 feet on each side, so we are leaving the c

not third street further south. on third street and soma we have the 30 and 45. as you probably know, these routes are -- serve various destinations and have nearly 70,000 riders. on third street a bus is scheduled to arrive never 90 to 120 seconds on average during rush hour. they'll continue to be high vol even after the subway is opened by candle stick and express busses. you may think don't we already have a transit line we do but they're blocked and busses are delayed during rush hour you see a typical condition right here. what is happening there is the transit lane is being used as a second right turn lane. you may recognize this is folsom street and it happens regularly there as well as bryant street and the busses will get out and go around traffic which is a time consuming process. as a result we're seeing average travel times of 10 minutes from caltrain to market. that's about a mile. that's about 6 or 7 miles an hour and the proposal is focussed where the bus 40% slower than after 7:00 p.m. so i don't know if you can squint and see this. i apologize t

i love my street. i love the people on the street. i want to maintain the integrity of the street -- [bell] >> i'd like to address you as being in a location where 18 supervisors were prior to 1906. this building was built thereafter with the due respect of this building. you'll notice we don't have cracks in this building. this was the other city hall fell apart totally. edward robison tay lor was chosen to be the mayor from 1907 to 1910. he did a fantastic job of finding people who knew what to do and how to doit. -- do it and he filled the empty seats with the proper people. there were 18 supervisors at that time. think changed. he didn't. he went back to where he was working as the head and founder of hastings law college. he also was head of leland stanford hospital. he was a doctor also a lawyer. he knew what he was doing and that's the reason they forced him to be there. senator palin forced him to do that. they twisted his arm pretty good and he stayed for three years. at that time, a term limit was two years. the mayor roth t

i live at 1550 bay street. my own apartment looks directly into the building that is in question here. it has not been determined if the project violates california environmental quality act, section 15300.2, concerning its effect on the environment. from a tenant's point of view, they will destroy our light to air quality, and and views, plus we would be looking at a dark, ugly blank wall. this is what my apartment would be looking at, since we went -- i'm sorry, we'll be facing a dark and blank wall. we would be going from a view of the golden gate bridge, to probably an elevator shaft >> thank you. next speaker, please >> my name is arnold, i live at 1550 bay. i would like to first submit to you a petition of 50 neighbors signing up to be against this project. commissioners, in january, 1974, the san francisco board of supervisors passed ordinance 12-74, designating the entire area of lot three, block 459, that is the l-shaped lot, known as 3640, 3636, and 3620 buchanan, and 1595 northpoint as the murray bil

the crisis on our street is not just about homelessness.ental illness, they need more than just housing. often they are actually housed. these people need help, since i took office, we have added 50 mental health stabilization beds , and i'm committed to opening up 100 more this year. [cheers and applause] >> our healthy streets operation centre is out there every day helping those suffering from substance use disorder, getting them connected to treatment and shelter, to help those who are truly suffering get real treatment. i've partnered with supervisor raphael mandelman on conservatorship legislation because when people can't care for themselves, we have to do better, and we have to care for them. [applause] >> we have to revamp our entire approach to mental health. to bring together all of our mental health programs under one focus, i am creating a director of mental health reform. [applause] >> this person will be responsible for better coordination of mental health care for those suffering in our city, this person will strengthen the

delancy street and 8th street associate with the brannan street safety project. >> good afternoon. i'm cameron beck in the subdivision and bringing you a proposal to improve safety on brannan street. brannon vete is highlighted in yellow and the above map of soma. the majoritiship -- majority is on the vision zero between 2nd street down it 8th street. the whole corridor from the embarcadero to division street about a mile and a half is undergoing infrastructure upgrades prompt a san francisco public works repaving project. so sfmta decided to take advantage of the paving project to design a safer brannan street. the goals are prome air will focussed on -- primarily focussed on safety for all users and the projects anticipated along the cot -- corridor and this shows the typical configuration and two lanes in each direction and parking on both sides. so one very effective roadway safety treatment is to reduce travel lanes from four to three. this is typically called a road diet. it opens up space to stripe a dedicated bike lane. it shows the configuration with one lane in each dire

3669 sacramento street.i just would like to express my opinion in favor of the building development project next door at 3657 sacramento. i've known him for many years, and i have seen how the projects have enriched and enhanced to the neighborhoods around them. not only by supplying much needed housing, but also providing retail and office space that helps engage our retail -- existing retail and commercial districts. i think that in the long run, this project, including the ground floor retail space and second-floor medical office space will bring new vitality into the neighborhood and the block that will be beneficial to both existing retail businesses and residents alike. please vote in favor of this project. thank you. >> thank you. no other public comment. public comment is now closed. lastly, i would like to invite the appellant to present a rebuttal argument. you will have up to three minutes. come on up. >> thank you. as you heard from the many supporters of these appeals, we are willing to compromi

there is no on-street parking in that side of the street. driveway will not impact on-street parking in any way. i want to draw your attention to the light well on the ground floor on the top that mirrors the one next door. that significantly increases in size as we go up. to a four-foot by 12-foot light well through the remainder of the building and increasing in size on the fourth floor. on the third floor an additional side set back to the neighbor on the opposite side. on the fourth floor additional set backs front and rear. we propose private decks for the master suite. it is set back from the front property line about 20-foot, 4.5 in the front. the deck is set back from the face of the building. it is reduced in response to planning staff comments as we developed. we have show you a quick bird's-eye view of the existing house and the new proposal. from the back, same thing. this is just a little quick for fun view of what we started with. this is the very first design with side by side garages and triad's man route. second was the tan

in order to improve our street, they're removing 61 mature trees along 16th street. i haven't gone and taken pictures of them or found them. this should be reviewed in the full context of what sfmta is doing here and as far as i'm concerned, it's just a contractor and it isn't a and get sfmta into this room. they didn't even answer my sunshine request. basically i asked for your help. i don't know what flexibility you have but i do know that this is wrong and i also know that d.p.w. has a war on ficus trees and recently i saw that the library residents were rallying to save the same kind of trees in front of the library. to takeaway such a valuable canopy of trees along 16th street needs to be well considered. not taking them out all at the same time. maybe five years take a few out, five years later take a few out. if many these trees can be trimmed, salvageable and safe. i just feel like i don't even understand the complete logic behind it. a, i think it's part of this diluting of the dpw deforest station project but also, i want sfmta to answer why they want all t

we drove more activity onto the streets. looking at, and also how we report. we believe the increased training expanded the amount of cases that were actually recognized as human trafficking, and we wanted to make sure that we captured these crimes. it is a very serious issue in our city, and in our country. we are digging more into that to have a clear understanding of where those numbers are coming from, but we believe those are some of the factors at this point. >> your staff focused on individual crimes, but are there any specific neighborhoods looking forward that you are trying to focus on why i know the tenderloin is really active on social media with things going on in their neighborhood, are there any neighborhoods that you are trying to focus on moving forward clasping act tenderloin is a focus. they have done a great job. if you follow their twitter site , posting some of the enforcement efforts. there's a lot of challenges in the tenderloin community, and we made that a priority. we made it a quite priority. we i

people come down museum way and head down to state street. the street got activity on it.there's no safety issues there. i lived there since 2012. there was a bathroom and a kitchen space in there. i would really appreciate if this commission guarantee us neither one of those will be there. big concern of the people were there, this will be an airbnb space outhear or third bedroom. finally, the idea of extra eyes and safety issue and boilerplate letter is ridiculous. if this is clearly a storage pace, why do they have ceiling windows on both sides of the space. i don't think i would put windows if the storage space area. that's all i have to say. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i've been there over 15 years and i agree 100% with tom and what he said about the neighborhood. i personally have had my car broken into several times. it is dangerous on that street as far as getting in and out of the car. i've been hit by a car once and that particular car was on the way to the museum. there is an issue with the street being too narrow. i fully support tom with the addition. as fa

but is there a way to make the streets safer?up north where a different approach seems to be achieving the unthinkable — a safer working environment for the sex workers and keeping the locals on side. in holbeck in leeds, the local council has tried something pretty revolutionary to try to protect the sex workers without upsetting local residents. this is one of two streets where the police are effectively turning a blind eye to sex workers and their clients during certain hours of the night. it's called the "managed approach" and between the hours of 8pm and 6am, sex workers and curb crawlers don't get arrested. does it really work though? here's katie, which is not her real name. it works because the police look out for us and help us, obviously, and it gives us somewhere stable to be able to go without worrying about getting arrested or anything like that. almost three quarters of women here say they feel safer and are more likely to report crimes against them to the police. most play by the rules. but like anything in life, t

part of my my great-grandmother opened a grocery store on can be street. -- kennedy street. i remember coming down with a caravan of cars on a cold winter day to protest in front of the soviet embassy on behalf of freedom for soviet jews. this is a city about making change. it is really a part of my story too, so it is special for me. >> what will happen today? 9:15 we have a rabbi from one of the local jewish congregations that will offer a blessing, a traveler's prayer for the building before it begins its journey. at 10:00, 9:45, the building will start rolling down 3rd street. i am sure we have a lot of excited people just to see the move today. we will make a three point turn backing up into s street and pulling out over the new museum site. contortedoing that last move we will do a press conference with local leaders at 11:30. i would like to introduce the rabbi. the rabbi for capitol hill. she will be offering a blessing. we learn it is appropriate when we are going on a journey for us to offer a blessing. even though it is not a person going on the journey today, it

this is what we love about the streets.reet and goes all the way down to the end of clement where you will see small businesses even towards 32nd. at the core of it is right here between here and 20 -- tenth avenue. when we see this variety of stores offered here, it is very unique then of the -- any other part of san francisco. there is traditional irish music which you don't get hardly anywhere in san francisco. some places have this long legacy of serving ice cream and being a hangout for families to have a sunday afternoon ice cream. and then also, we see grocery stores. and also these restaurants that are just new here, but also thriving. [♪] >> we are seeing restaurants being switched over by hand, new owners, but what we are seeing is a vibrancy of clement street still being recaptured within new businesses that are coming in. that is a really great thing to see. i don't know when i started to shop here, but it was probably a very, very long time ago. i like to cook a lot but i like to cook chinese food. the market i

center at 1011 turk street.we coordinate calls that come in from the police non-emergency, 911, 3-1-1, and they come from concerned community members, and also within our own structures of staff that are out there in the streets. we dispatch, we plan responses, we work together to bring as much as we can to the street. we share data, which you would be surprised common definitions, common maps, common understanding had been lacking in our community before this, and we respond to behavior on the street. and so i think with that, i'm going to pass it over to my colleague. thank you. >> good morning, everyone, good morning, chair, supervisor mandelman, good morning supervisors haney and walton and stefani. i'm from the san francisco police department, and i'm going to cover the next three slides with you. this next slide speaks about training, and just along the same lines of what sam dodge talked about. it is really making sure that all of the city agencies that are affiliated a-soc receive training. especially ou

all the way to mission street. the sidewalks and roads is the same width or the traffic conditions are the same from 19th to mission street. it would only cost an estimated 1.4 million to make the rest of valencia safe for pedestrians and cyclists. i urge you to continue this shovel ready project. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you, sir. are there any other members of the public that would like to testify on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] [please stand by] -- on bike share membership projects such as lyft, that upon purchased the operator must have a commensurate amount to the project. this year we expect to have approximately $720,000 in tsfcta funds for the projects. there's project types and requires program managers to adopt criteria that guide the selection of these local projects and this is the item before you today. and the transportation authority typically funds four to eight projects per year and we generally are able to fund most, if not all of the projects that meet eligib

we'll hear steve's solution for the high street —— we'll hear steve's solution for the high street later tony wortley has entered the wolve‘s den. it has been a huge learning curve. i've had to learn how to make coffee the proper way. tony's 55 and left a job in it to open a french—style deli in queen square. it's november. he's been open two months and customers are thin on the ground. i had dreams of it flying from the very word go because i thought "there's no deli in wolverhampton so therefore it stands a very good chance of being accepted quickly." i was wrong. but while there is no clamour for cheese and chutney, tony won't give up. we will catch up with him later. so, solutions. top of the shopping list — cut parking charges. the car parks, i don't like them. they are too pricey. i've had to pay £3 for two hours. i have a car but i would not come in my car. i've discovered that the city of wolverhampton council pulled in almost £9 million in parking charges since 2013, including £2 million last year. oh, and there was another £500,000 on top of that in parking penalties. let's see

i see what everyone else sees on the street.the mayor is frustrated, but i really am optimistic about the future and what we are doing to work to get people housed, and to get them the services that they need, and in many instances, a lot of work and wraparound services are required but while we have much work to do, in san francisco, we are seeing some results. in fact, at since i've taken office in july of last year, we have been able to get almost 1,000 people off the streets. almost 1,000 people. [applause] >> we've done this by expanding our shelter capacity. we've added a number -- we've added 338 new shelter beds to our system, and we also did this by reconnecting people with their families and other cities across the country through our homeward bound program. we are working to meet what is an ambitious goal by adding another thousand shelter beds by next year. we added 50 new mental health stabilization beds, and by this year, we will add 100 more mental health stabilization beds to help people suffering from substance

street. with the completion of a pilot, valencia between market and 15th streets have become more pleasant comfortable blocks where bikes no longer have to dodge double parked cars. what was once hard to navigate is four calm blocks with infrastructure like those boarding islands in front of the schools which help facilitate pick ups and drop offs of the students. >> protected bike lanes have transformed valencia from market to 15th, but we still have more to do. the safety of thousands of daily riders can't wait. thank you for your time. >> chair peskin: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. i'm mirrian mcdonald, i'm a resident who uses valencia every day on my bicycle, and also on behalf of skip, one of the two scooter companies permitted to operate here in san francisco. through the chair, i would like to thank commissioner ronen for her comments on the prevalence of the t.n.c.s in the bikeways and how big of a problem that is for riders, and i would just like to draw attention to the connection

i always love union street because it's not like another commercial street where you have big chains. here you have the neighbors. there is a lot of stories and the neighborhoods are essential. people have -- they enjoy having their daily or weekly gelato. i love this street itself. >> we created a move of an area where we will be visiting. we want to make sure that the area has the gelato that you like. what we give back as a shop owner is creating an ambient lifestyle. if you do it in your area and if you like it, then you can do it on the streets you like. >> i have been living in san francisco since 1957. i live in this area for 42 years. my name is shirley jackson, and i am a retirement teacher for san francisco unified school district, and i work with early childhood education and after school programs. i have light upstairs and down stairs. it's been remodelled and i like it. some of my floors upstairs was there from the time i built the place, so they were very horrible and dark. but we've got lighting. the room seems lighter. they painted the place, they cemented my back yard

a piece of napoleon street near the creek south of chavez street. the department of public works burr burree o of -- bureau of urban has asked for a portion of napoleon which is often congested when workers come they can't find parking and a lot of the problem is long-term parking and a lot of that long-term parking is large vehicles some of which may be inhabited. we have been working with director kaczynski's team to reach out and connect to folks living in those vehicles. there's a larger ongoing encampment challenge in that part of the city sidewalk and open space tent and improvised struck our and the homeless team have been working in the area and the vehicular aspect is further to that. there's not a special effort on connecting with vehicularly housed folks. in this case, to director brinkman's questions on tools we bring forward, because this is not a residential neighborhood and because it was availability for commercial interests and our own city partners we proposed a blanket no-parking overnight restriction. so every night between midni

we are standing on 3rd street great we are getting ready to move our historic synagogue down 3rd street to the site of the new museum. this building was built in 1876 over at sixth and g street. in 1969 the building was taken off of its foundation. they made it easier for us to move down to the museum site. they have lifted it up on some steel beams. they put wheels underneath the steel beams. they used a remote control system to roll it down the street very slowly. it will take it a few hours to get it one block down. >> why is it be moved? >> the first time the building moved was for progress downtown. the metro headquarters was being built. metro displaced this little building and moved it to the new site. the jewish historical society has done a number of weddings inside there, but it is not used as a traditional synagogue, it is for special events. until this last year, we were doing programming and small exhibitions there. we are rebuilding this huge new neighborhood in this area called capital crossing. that is having us relocate the synagogue again. but the opportunity is that w

on the bowdoin street and university street on the perimeter of the university of mound reservoir as follows. >> we're bringing you a proposal a simple but controversial proposal to pose the oversized vehicle overnight parking restrictions around the four sides of the university mount reservoir. you have already heard from neighbors at previous board meetings in public comment and we alouded to -- alluded to the location being a concentration of oversized vehicle. over the past year the problem has become more pronounced. i'll make my comments brief because we have members of the public that want to address you and bring testimony to you and have the director of homelessness and supportive housing who can tell you what his team has brought to this particular area and city wide and carolyn goosen chief of staff from supervisor hilary ronin's office will be here to bring you comments. again, this is a very simple tool where dueally posted no vehicle longer than 22 feet or taller than 7 feet may be parked between midnight and 6:00 a.m. or they get a ticket and it's about $110 per citati

out of a moving car on a street full of traffic. that could easily have been more victims says paul of. innocent people who just happened to be passing by. there is no time of day in chicago when it doesn't happen like i said you know really there's a shooting every four hours in chicago so you know it's rare i don't know that we've got a day without it shooting for two years now i think it's been two years and not a day without a shooting or a twenty four hour period without a shooting so you know again crime is down the homicides in shootings have i have no doubt about twenty five percent but we still have seventy five percent that is still happening so it's going to take a little more work for us to get this pizza a little safer. tonight his family quiet he says. three am pauley has time to swing by his office here it's safe to take off his bullet proof vest. in his very own headquarters pauli continues listening to the police radio and directing his staff here remain alert and ready to return to the streets until morning. all he
