that is also why i am now working on a transportation study with the t.a. and mda staff in the school district. look for to working closely with you on that. what opportunities for input from parents and students is part of the plan right now? >> in terms of the education and outreach and the encouragement work that will be doing, it will be on-site and an opportunity for us to engage and learn from parents and from students about what would help them learn about or make decisions around transportation. is that what you meant? >> yeah. what opportunities to really get input and ideas from parents and students, in particular? >> we welcome that, and we're working on having on hands presence of the schools in taking input that may come. >> is that input incorporated into the plans? >> yeah. for the outreach and encouragement events, it is about understanding what are some of the barriers that we can address through which part of the program. the barriers are related to school area safety, that sort of indicates improvements and it depends on what available fu

i would like to ask our t.a. staff to work closely with all of us, and particularly commissioner yee, the m.t.a., and let me just underscore the sfpd as it relates to our vision zero commitments. with that, i will conclude the chair's remarks and mr. clerk, please read the next item. >> commissioner ronen? >> commissioner ronen? >> thank you. i have never commented on the chair's remarks before, but i just have to back you up 100%, chair peskin. i am angry, we are angry, every member of this board is devastated by the amount of pedestrian and traffic deaths that are happening on our streets on a monthly basis. how are kids, our seniors, our families, we should be able to walk around the street and not have that and our life. the fact that we are not doing everything in our power collectively as leaders of this city to end this senseless killing of people on our streets on a monthly basis is outrageous we have all got into our wits end on this topic. it is unacceptable that this is happening every single day and w

it's very much what we as member of the t.a. and supervisors hear most frequently about the m.t.a. there's not justienough vehicl the road. you seem to have went through a process of negotiation, and that went well, and now, we're going to hire more operators, but it seems like this neverending cycle that, no pun intended, mushroom into these large issues for the agency. >> i think we share a common goal of trying to deliver excellent service for our customers and adjust problems as we see them, so i understand your attempt to i sign blame, and i apologize -- assign blame, and i apologize that i may not have the best understanding up to this point, but we are committed to our partners and moving forward on what is the best solution to this issue, which is putting additional track breaks on the vehicle. the testing of the brakes has been going smoothly. we anticipate in the next month or two, we'll be bringing it to the cpuc which is our safety and regulatory body and move from there. and i'm happy to answer any other questions. >> supervisor safai: i actually would like to hear fro

t.a.? my apologies, and seeing no one here for public comment, any other items? >> clerk: no, there's just adjournment. >> supervisor walton: thank you so much. this meeting is adjourned. >> the goal is simple. it's to raise women's voices. >> learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. >> we had own over 300 -- over 300 people who signed up for the one-on-one counseling today. >> i think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. the assessor's office is a big one. there are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in san francisco. one of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2.6 billion worth of revenue to the city. often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what

extraordinarily long t.a. hearing on a board day with a timma hearing after this, that -- and i do want you guys all to continue, that this is profoundly important and what geoff, because i want to butcher his last name, just said, the decision that we all took, which was a very controversial decision, for which we took a lot of heat, was the right decision. if we spend a bunch of time on this now, i just told commissioner walton, who reminded me that the hearing is going on for a long time, we will all collectively save hours and heartache over the next many years. so i really appreciate geoff's candor about that. and we really are invested in comprehensively getting this right, amongst stakeholder agencies, with the public and the words that you've just heard "reposition, redefine" are really both a comment on phase 1 and a road map to our aspirations on phase 2 and this is not just a mega-project, it is a mega-regional project. so with that, john. right? you are john fisher, aren't you? >> i am. [laughter]

t.a. staff noted that san francisco had made sure to include equity as one of its plan bay area goals and to be mindful of san francisco's particular equity needs within the larger framework. staff also noted, in response to question on how much path planned goals work reflected in current reality, that the plan evolves and focusing on highways and developments of outer regions of the bay area to be more attentive to regional transit and building density in currently developed areas. in public comment, the need for the plan to include regional bus solutions to replace commuter shuttles and ways to increase contributions in the private sector to fund these projects to support growth were voiced and acknowledged by the c.a.c. that completes my report. thank you. >> thank you. are there any questions for mr. larson? seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. mr. clerk, please read the next item. >> approve the minutes of the june

likewise, your staff at the t.a. needs to continue to talk to caltrain about the yard. and what happens to that, as for the 30% study, i don't really have an opinion on that. but you should make arrangements not just to stop everything in place, but to move things forward that make sense. and your staff knows what those projects are. so you should give them instructions to do so. >> chair peskin: just for the record, i think our staff is well aware that we are on record in support of rail yard studies at 4th and townsend. next speaker. >> chair peskin, members, alita dupree for the record. i come to you simply as a user of transportation, representing only myself. and i see the importance of this project to build a railroad into downtown, for i have much experience with that. consider grand central, a legendary and historic railroad station in new york city. and i have not just gone in admire the architecture and eaten in the oyster bar, but i have ridden trains in and out of it. and they can move about one train a minute, in and out of there during rush hour. and they

t.a. will offset the records and named the subway station after rose pak, he will -- [indiscernible] they have already decided to give m.t.a. this power. why go against the vultures? they voted ten years ago to give the m.t.a. the power to name the new station. the m.t.a. has already decided, three years ago, to not put a known chinese agent's name on the station and call it simply chinatown station. i urge supervisors to respect the voters and m.t.a. in this matter. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. next speaker. somebody come on up otherwise i am closing. >> good afternoon. good afternoon fellow american citizens. i exercise my american citizenship authority, my united states constitutional rights, my leadership rights, and my admitted residency rights and my joint venture exercise rights. my name is kathleen wells and i am a national executive entrepreneur. i have a very important message and opportunity for you today to move this city forward as the model city for other cities to

people, whether it is the board, whether it is staff, whether it is partners like ourselves at the t.a., it has been a real pleasure and i will miss working alongside you. please don't go for -- please don't go far, and we look forward to your next steps. thank you. [applause] >> i will call supervisor sandra fewer. if i could ask everyone next to the doors to move to the other side of the room. it is a fire hazard if you are blocking the exit doors. >> hello, commissioners. i wanted to extend my deepest appreciation for all that ed has contributed to the agency and to the city. ed has been a true and tireless public servant for the residents of san francisco for the past 12 years. many of us know him best there his role as director of transportation at sfmta, but ed has also served as the director of 311, and director of public works, agencies that are crucial to the backbone of san francisco and the nuts and bolts of operations that literally keep san francisco running. directing an agency like sfmta is nothing short of absolutely demanding. i have seen him lead with kindness, a stea

from t.a.? my apologies, and seeing no one here for public comment, any other items? >> clerk: no, there's just adjournment. >> supervisor walton: thank you so much. this meeting is adjourned. san francisco is surrounded on three sides by water, the fire boat station is intergal to maritime rescue and preparedness, not only for san francisco, but for all of the bay area. [sirens] >> fire station 35 was built in 1915. so it is over 100 years old. and helped it, we're going to build fire boat station 35. >> so the finished capital planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must exist on sea level rise. >> the station 35, construction cost is approximately $30 million. and the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. it is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. >> we're looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. the historic fireh

and the t.a. to coordinate when these types of projects are coming on line. there should be a plan put in place, and the businesses should be notified in advance that this fund exists. that is a very simple request. so it absolutely blew me away when i read it in the paper -- it's not even my district, but i happen to be down there because i was picking up my son at camp, and to see this work would be happening without any notification to the businesses is not okay. i share in your frustration, supervisor mar ander and anywhere else in the city, but i agree we can't wait until september because this is happening now. >> chairman: director chang, do you want to speak? >> sure. i would just say we certainly heard the board's direction last time. if you want to say a few words now before inviting them back at the july 23rd meeting. >> thank you chair mandelman and commissioners. yes, we got the direction last time, and we are certainly doing our best to work with o.e.w.d., mostly because we wanted to make sure that the funds for those programs were working very

from t.a.? my apologies, and seeing no one here for public comment, any other items? >> clerk: no, there's just adjournment. >> supervisor walton: thank you so much. this meeting is adjourned. >> once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. i just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didn't have to ask twice. you can always find me on the court. [♪] >> we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. they provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a national paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. >> it is great to have this opportunity here in san francisco. we are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. now that that is happening, you know, i i'm looking forward to that growing and spr

i mentioned this this morning at the t.a. meeting. i am submitting a resolution today asking mayor breed and the sfmta to declare a state of emergency around traffic safety on the streets of san francisco. i want to thank chair peskin for speaking on this issue this morning and for board president he and supervisor viewer, and so many others who have worked on this issue and to have spoke on the urgency. on average, three people a day are hit by cars in san francisco that is more than any other city in our state. many of the fatal crashes in the city have happened in the tenderloin and soma. a part of the city where we have the highest concentration of children. i also, a supervisor fewer noted today, these are crashes and fatalities that are happening all over our city. they were two individuals who were killed in her district this year, as well. just this last week, we had two separate fatal crashes in district six. last week, a 54-year-old michael evans was hit by a big rig at eddie and mason, and on sunday, a speeding car ran a re

as the chair of the citizen's advisory committee mentioned, there had been some concern by t.a. staff, particularly about the high percentage of costs that were going to be borne by construction management activities. we have worked with staff to clarify that, you know, this is a very tightly constrained working environment, this and the embarcadero station are two of the busiest stations on the line and there are additional life safety requirements because there are higher tech volumes. the construction will be during and alford -- after revenue service, so we needed to ensure minimal disruption to passenger flow. this pertains to this project as well as the embarcadero station project, which i will get to any moment. this has led to higher than typical construction management costs in san francisco. we typically see somewhere between 15 and 30%. originally these were in the magnitude of 50 to 60%. bart has revisited the construction cost estimate and actually increased the construction contract estimate to reflect the current market conditions with a limited number of bidders
