tep, it's not going to work. of course you have to put aside a project because we know it's too many holes within the tep goal -- going on right now. we have to complete the project. everybody is chasing the tail. nothing is getting done. i just ask once again, scrutinize the tep for what it is. honestly, it looks fine for the future. but if you look at what's going on now with the projects coming forthwith tep, it's not going to work. you are taking that a tunnel. >> thank you. next speaker, miss sacs? >> turning to tep, i have spoken about this many times at the full board meeting and citizens advisory committee and i also went to the workshops and they are trying to figure out handout you to include service. what they are actually doing is reducing service like the gentleman before me said. what they did is they took, they are making so that reducing service where there were booklets that i still have. they took the one california for example commissioner kim, they took one and they had it going to howard duri

www.sftep.com or email directly to tep sfmta or call our sfmta tep hotline. with that, i would be glad to take questions. >> thank you. excellent presentation. before we do that i believe supervisor farrell has joined us. thank you, mr. kennedy. good afternoon, supervisor. >> good afternoon, commissioners, director reiskin, mark farrell district 2 supervisor. thank you for hearing me today and allowing me to speak to you. i will do my best to keep my comment brief. i was just briefed by our controller's office about the mayor's transportation task force and i know the extreme challenges that we have, financially, especially as a transportation system. you have my commitment to work together inside of city hall, certainly now as chair of the budget and finance to find solutions to that. i agree with the sentiment of the task force and co-chair has it all san franciscans should be able to choose among many high-quality transportation options. so the tep's end, i want to speak about you today, because it affects the district that i represent in a large fashion i

i think that tep has not delivered as well on its promises. now we're looking at fulton and people are excited about fulton. i see by your manner, but doesn't it seem like a contradiction to you, when you talk about traffic-calming and speeding up muni? i mean, putting islands in the middle of the street and putting bulbs out as you have heard is going to make it more difficult for the buses. and i thought that the fulton was a good street and a good bus, except for the stopping at 6th street. i have seen many disgruntled people getting off at 6th. maybe they only get the happy ones now, but my neighbors tell me that the crowds begins at 30th avenue. if you are taking a bus from the outer richmond and it will be full by 30th avenue. but for some reason muni is fixated on 6th avenue as a place. i keep thinking you must have enough part-time bus drivers now to be able to make it a longer route. it's just too short. when i had young children and in child-care, i could not get home in time to avoid the $5 payment >> thank you, miss hale. next spea

so you giving the mandate to tep to work with us so we can create a better route. thank you. [ applause ] . >> next speaker, please. [ reading speakers' names ]. >> reed, what bus do you take to school everyday? >> 3 jackson. >> what bus do your grandparents use when they visit you? >> 3. >> the 3 is the only bus that is very easy for our visitors to use, isn't it? what do we use to get your brother? yes, we use the 3 jackson. what bus do we take? >> 10. >> if we want to go to the 10 what do we take? >> 3. >> the 3. i also wanted to say if san francisco wants to be transit first we need to not only think about accommodating muni riders, but encouraging more people to get out of their cars and get into the bus and discontinuing restricting and shortening service lines is not going to encourage the residents of pacific heights that are currently using their cars to get out of the cars and use the buses available. the less frequency and convenience means fewer rides and means a spiral of problem because we're going to have fewer riders and we'll have discontinued line

the tep documents do not show how the elimination of the three would benefit san francisco. all it has said as part of mta's plan to improve service. certainly those of us who are regular users of the 3 jackson question how eliminating the line will improve service? we thought that the mta would say there would be a significant cost-savings over other possible actions, but we're told by julie kirshbaum that eliminating the 3 would not save money. then what is the nexus between eliminating the 3 jackson and improving service? how does the balance of scales of cost and benefit favor of the elimination of the 3? if those of us who use the 3 were further burdened, we would like to understand the offsetting benefits; which compelled the elimination of the line? we have searched for the answer and not found it. if there is no compelling benefit to the city, which offsets the significant costs to the neighborhood, then why is mta pursuing this action ? 1500 people signed the petition and a couple of hundred of people have sent in emails supporting the continuation of the line. ther

i do want to just put in context, the great majority of the tep is increased service. so we're increasing on the majority of lines that serve the major of riders of muni. 100% of the public comment was about ones that are most difficult, but i don't want to you lose sight of what is being evaluated into the environmental review service and what we'll bring forward to is increase is service. we'll be most sensitive to places where we're changing or eliminating service or stops and look forward to working with the community to bring you recommendations that will hopefully reflect a consensus recommendation. >> thank you. i think it's very good to hear how much people love muni and ride muni and do depend on muni. i would just remember everybody that not everything in the tep is about eliminating a stop or a line as director reiskin said. i would encourage you all also not to lose that enthusiasm that we need to support this process going forward and also make the changes that are going to help improve the transportation system that are not directly affecting your line of

bit of history for the audience i was on the tep committee. when the subjects came to us, some of us objected. our group never took a position. the people on n our group who were for it are self-proclaimed visionaries, who don't raise children, who don't have a disability, who aren't seniors. you are already showing how out of touch has been there process. so ask yourself again, how many of these so-called community meetings were at nice, which mitigates against single parents and with people with disabilities and seniors, and people who have other difficulties in attending? it's an obvious problem when seniors are told of stop-elimination and even a supervisor of the board of supervisors has commented. you are hearing a lot of discontent. in the larger context, think of this which means and ask if there is any ballot issue regarding funding for muni as has been proposed by the bias group that composed the mayor's transportation task force? the constituencies that are most transit dependent are not represented on that. that group is proposing

the tep at its base is first comprehensive review of the system in over 30 years. imagine san francisco 30 years ago. the travel patterns, where people lived, where people were going is vastly different than what we see today. and we really need a system that relates to that dynamic change and addresses today's community's needs. so that is really led us to a goal of two things with the tep >> one improving reliability and two, improving the user experience. muni is the backbone of our community. we support a vast number of neighborhoods throughout the city, 95% of people within the city of san francisco are close to muni service. we support trips to schools, to work, to cultural events, to basically just hanging out with friends and family. and if you are a choice-rider, so somebody who has other transportation options and

are some of the dlans -- dollars with the tep project. >> the tep is still under environmental review. we used the impact fee money and working closely with the tep money and matching up where they have funding identified. >> i think the other part of that answer is some of the projects could be funded and they have other sources as well. a lot of the large projects the impact fees represent partial financing and leveraging of other dollars along the way. >> you mentioned the central freeway and dog park, i haven't seen that start. is that going to start happening this year? >> that's what i have been told by the project managers on that and this we should anticipate the construction soon. i look at it everyday and i think they have a short-term intervention right now and kind of warming it up until the construction starts. >> that's been a beneficiary of these improvements. >> commissioner hillis? >> that park started construction. so, just a question on in kind contributions. we have a couple of in kind projects and we have a couple here. i always wonder if we can do them. they have

the tep is an example of that.as mentioned earlier in this meeting, it's to prepare the scope of the equity analysis of the tep. because of the 80 percent of the tep is programmatic, the equity of that program is going to be determined by an on going basis based on how to expenditures are programmed and based on monitoring those expenditures at in realtime or as they are programmed and spent and then reporting back on the outcomes. so that's what we are focusing object and -- on and there is three components, analyzing the equity on the investments themselves, and the programming, the years of programming on whatever time is being implemented for the program, do these address equity concerns, and monitoring outcomes after investments are made to determine whether equity gaps and efficiencies are being closed and finally continue to get stakeholder input throughout both of these process both on determining programming investments and doing the monitoring on the effects. we want to offer considerations of some ideas

and then mission street is also moving forward separately through the tep. in light of the mayor's directive for pedestrian safety that was released in april of this year, in this graphic you can see all of those little segments may block our new opportunities. central soma blocks are long and people tend to dash across this -- at least it will provide a safe place for them to do that. so they don't have to jay-walk. so the next few slides are cross-sections of the corridors that we have developed concepts for. i want to make it clear that these are general. the corridors are long. they vary from block to block. so again, very general. for harrison and bryant, knowing that this is an area where we have a lot of regional traffic coming in, we need to make sure that we can accommodate those traffic volumes. so we are going to keep this a major thoroughfare and do just a minor lane reduction. the top is existing conditions and the lower is proposed. it goes from five to four lanes. as part of making sure that we can accommodate traffic volumes a number of our c

so the tep's end, i want to speak about you today, because it affects the district that i represent in a large fashion is the elimination of the 3 jackson line. i am here to tell you as someone who was born and raised in district 2 and raising my children there, i have ridden the 3 jackson my entire life and i know so many countless others, many who are behind me today that depend upon it for their daily lives and that eliminating that line would have a disastrous effect on the neighborhoods that i represent and i urge you to consider that. the three jackson has served the neighborhoods for decades and includes a huge senior population, a disabled population, that i have heard from and spent countless community meetings already on this topic since this idea was floated about last year. and i think as important for me, many students and staff that are part of the schools that are in that surrounding area, there are nine schools in that very close vicinity within the three jacks and they heavily dependent upon that line to serve the schools and educate our children. several of the school
