the floor is yours. >> good morning. april smith, transportation planner at the transportation authority here to present this item today. r background, the project was approved by the board with $3.41 million bay area grant from the metropolitan transportation commission. also, during the 2019 prop k. five your prioritization program update, the board program 436,000 and local match to the funds which will be funding the construction phase. federal funds federal funds come with requirements including strict fund requirements established by m.p.c., with the intent of encouraging kindly project delivery and avoiding federal funds, a loss of federal funds to the region. we are proposing an exchange of 3.366 million in funds from the project with an equivalent amount of prop k. funds from the better market street project, which i will describe in the next few slides. the project is at 95% design and public works will be ready to advertise the construction project in september. the project has seen a 12 month delay due to a prolonged process in obtaining the right-of-way certification from caltrain which is a requirement for

ask my colleague to help out. >> supervisor mar: so the formulaic funds are received by the transportation authority, it's about $2 million per year. the first three years were programmed for san francisco public works resurfacing projects. we haven't decided or the transportation authority hasn't decided how they're going to spend future years of formulaic funds. thank you. i did have a question about the sunset parkside pavement renovation program. i'm really happy to see this being the priority for the funds this year. it looks like the bla report says that -- this was chosen because of the poor state of the streets in the sunset and parkside generally. there's a pci score of -- in the mid-40s. but then it says: upon completion of the project, public works expects the pci score to rise to 100, which sounds great, but is that real -- what does 100 mean and is that realistic? does that mean that we're going to have perfect streets in the sunset and parkside with no pot-holes? >> is it moratorium grade also? >> yes, good morning, supervisor. paul ratis, public works project manager for this project.

so next up, we have m.t.a., the transportation authority and department of the environment presenting, but first up, we have sarah jones from the m.t.a. >> good afternoon. the sfmta thanks the supervisor for introducing the resolution and all the work on the focus 2030 report. so where we are is that today, too much travel in san francisco happens by car whether it's people driving themselves, people using ride hail or the growing use of delivery services, this is the most harmful transportation choice that people can manke, and it's making other forms of travel less appealing, which is further restricting our emission issues. transportation currently generates approximately half of all citywide emissions as you've heard, and our city's transportation infrastructure itself is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. so we have a big problem and there's both bad news and good news about it. the bad news is that what we're doing right now is affecting our climate, and even with all we've accomplished, the business as usual solution isn't a solution at all. but the good news is that

>> good morning and welcome to the san francisco county transportation authority meeting for today, tuesday, july 23rd, 2019. mr. clerk, can you please call roll call? >> item one, roll call. [roll call] we have a quorum. >> thank you. i will proceed with the chair's reports. colleagues, i would like to begin this meeting with offering our collective deepest condolences to the families of michael evans and benjamin dean who were hit and killed in horrific crashes on our streets last week, as well as kelly dean who is critically injured and in the hospital. as was noted at the rally on the steps of city hall this morning, commissioner haney organized it, and motorists must slow down. the tenderloin, which is an area that commissioner haney and i share, his not a traffic sewer, it is a neighborhood, and i did not have a chance to say this morning at the rally, but when you drive through there, if you are watching my face, when you drive through there, you drive through there at 25 miles an hour or less. speed kills. i am going to depart from my remarks and say the following thing, which is we

the short term or anything like that? >> good afternoon, sarah jones planning district municipal transportation agency. the kconnect sf effort is betwen the transportation authority. with regard to current efforts going on and development, we have a team focussed on working on the shorter-term development projects the ones raised earlier balboa reservoir is one where the sfmta is working in partnership in the planning around it. for all time frames we recognize how important it is to work together hand in hand. i think the work on konect -- connectsf it intended to reflect that partnership over the course of time. >> commissioner: right now we have a transit impact development free and it's a flat fee but maybe in an area where there's more growth they'd be scaled differently or the projects would be required to build out transportation infrastructure. do we see that as the direction of the future? we haven we haven't delved into that particular example but in central soma with the folsom howard project was captured within the same environmental impact report and sfmta and the planning department worked together around many aspects of that plan to talk about what

the only growth among transportation use in the city has been tn see sins to that since 2013. as supervisor peskin alluded to, the san francisco county transportation authority has studied these in the city in-depth, and last year they released a report that statistically analysed different contributions to the city's rising projections and found that over 50% of the growth in the vehicle hours of delay has been caused by tee and c. we are talking about the impact of laying attacks on the businesses and most of that tax will be passed on to consumers. that will hit patterns of spending in the city, and of course, that revenue will go as supervisor peskin said to the san francisco m.t.a. and the san francisco c.t.a. at the same time, there is a second thing going on, which is we are taxing a mode of transportation that is shown to create congestion and using that money to fund modes of transportation that could reduce transportation. there is an economic benefit. unfortunately, the first of phnom -- economic impact, with the data to analyse, and the second we don't. when i say, as we conclude in the report, that this is a mildly negative economic impact. that

we thought each firm had the skills necessary to help carry forth our plan for the transportation authority. they have a proven tract record with us, and we're adding myers to the roster of legal attorneys. they demonstrate a strong approach -- management approach and qualifications. in addition, we're really impressed with them. this item has gone before with an anonymous motion of support on june 26th. this contract will be funded over the next three years with state, federal, regional, and the local prop "k" funds. with that, i'm happy to open it up for questions. and i have representatives from all three legal firms here with me today. >> chairman: thank you, misfong. ms. fong. i do not see comments or questions. i think my colleagues are eager to get prepared for the afternoon meeting. so we'll open this for public comment. seeing none, public comment is now closed. can i have a motion to approve the award of these contracts? moved by yee. seconded by brown. and we can take that same house -- can we take that same house-call? yes, we can. great. mr. clerk, please call the next item? >>

i am here in my capacity as chair of the little-known funding agency called the san francisco county transportation authority. momentarily to be joined by our executive director, tilly chang, for the purpose of saying what is rarely said to the public, which are words of sincere and profound thanks to our outgoing director, address given, and to acknowledge and celebrate -- and ruskin, and the fact that i have been a constant pain in his but. [laughter] >> so let's be real. this is the toughest job in san francisco government, maybe the second toughest job is the one that jeff kaczynski has running the department of homelessness, but ed's is the toughest and i just want to say, i have known him, and all three of his positions, going back to my first tour of duty when he came and made 311 work, which has been a pain in your butts, but has been good for the people of the city and county of san francisco. i knew him in his incarnation as the head of public works, or back in those days, we called it the department of public works where he also excelled. since 2011, i have mostly been delighted to work with him a

we have been lobbying for more than a year since the mta informed the transportation authority that there was a shortage of guards in this year's contract negotiations we were told there is still a shortage by about 28 guards, we believe giving the crossing guards more hours, right now we only get 2.5 per day. if we get a couple more hours in the midday and the afternoons, that would help with traffic safety and help retain more guards, because it's a 2.5 hour split shift and it's hard to get people as was mentioned obviously, the police on the parking control cannot be everywhere. we are not trying to take away any work or substitute for them just because we are lower pay - lower paid. we could be more of a help. because of our contract negotiations this year, we missed the dead - the budget deadline. i am hoping to maybe plant the seed for a smaller program, maybe 15-20 guards at the most critical intersections. we are ready to go almost immediately, from a salary of $21 per hour it's not too expensive. during the contract negotiations at the mayor's office they said safe and clean stre

other operation in terms of mechanics or decisions that are being made, i would encourage the transportation authority and the leadership of the sfmta to have that conversation up front. we want to invite you back on a more frequent basis so you can be part of these conversations up front so that you're not an afterthought and we're not spending millions of dollars to correct something that you and your operators could have anticipated very easily. so thank you for taking the time and sitting here with us. thank you, mr. chair, and thank you, miss kirschbaum. >> chair mandelman: we do have some public comment. >> hi, everyone. thank you for a very interesting meeting today. and i also want to thank julie for your report that changes are being made, so i appreciate that. i just want to say one little thing about the operator situation. he feels very concerned about being blinded by the cameras, and he would like the rearview mirrors back. there's a strong vote for mirrors. okay. so now, i want to address another issue of health and safety, which is the number of passenger seats. and i want to first say

bridge and onto the other side and you're into the city streets, so we need some help from the transportation authorities, the city planners and helping us build for the future and how far she goes lanes go back? if we go out to our arizona california where there is no bridge , how do we manage that traffic in the city streets on either side to do that? one thing that we felt was pretty successful at sand uc drone, to get people into the century lanes we said our goal is to have a 15 minute wait for less than the century lanes and we will open up enough lanes to try to keep to that. and then we divided the rest of the lanes by the ready lanes to people with an rfid enabled documents for everybody else will keep that ready lane wait to half of what the regulators and we try to manage those boots because really flipping a switch to convert them, changing the sign at the top and make sure that we're keeping up with our promise that if you enroll in the special programs and jump through all those rooms, to get involved , there's a meaningful benefit for you. but if it takes you still an hour to get to the la

we need some help from the transportation authorities, the city planners and helping us build for the future in these and how far should these lanes extend back? if you go to arizona and california where there is no bridge, how do we manage that traffic on the city streets on either side to do that? one thing that we felt was pretty successful at san ysidro to get people into the century lanes, we said our goal is to have a 15-minute wait or less in the isn'try lanes and we'll open up enough lanes to keep to that. we divided the rest of the lanes to the ready lanes, people with rfi dinchts documents versus everyone else and we'll keep the ready lane wait to half of the regular lane. it's flipping a switch to convert them and changing the sign at the top and make sure that we're keeping up with our promise that, if you enroll in these special programs and jump through all these hoops, to get involved, there's a meaningful benefit. if it takes an hour to get to the lane to use it, it defeats the purpose. that's something we have to continue to work at. we need a lot of help from all of

[roll call] >> we have first approval. >> chairman: we will now reconvene the transportation authority commission meeting for today, july 9, 2019. mr. clerk, would you please, and i apologize for this call, item number 10, out of order, which sa district 3 item because i have to go to the groundbreaking for the new affordable housing project with the mayor, and i thought i would take that out of order, and then i will turn it over to supervisor mandelman. >> >> chairman: i apologize for not giving you that heads up. i think mr. white from the m.t.a. is here. he is here, yes. and i don't know if you want ms. meckle to say anything -- >> she is not here, but -- >> chairman: you can do it. >> the proposal in front of you today is the result of several years of discussion about how to advance safety in the project area, so this is a proposed amendment to the district 3 neighborhood transportation improvement program planning project. this would add implementation to the scope of work. and so it would enable m.t.a. to explore improvements at a couple of locations specifically. just give me

so again the northern virginia transportation authority and the state are making big investments in transit because, going back to the previous point, those are the investments that have the biggest impact in this situation. and i think the notion of not looking for a one size fits all, the notion that somehow every problem could be -- >> but in this situation because there is already so many lanes? why is this the situation that calls for -- >> well, well, so, so, amazon coming to arlington county, first of all, there is no place to put additional lanes there. you couldn't literally -- i mean, the existing right of way ends at edge of the buildings, right? i suppose you could add a little bit more space to 95 if the defense department doesn't mind the highway getting closer to the pentagon, which they mind, by the way. so there is no more opportunity to build more lanes there. the reality is, to your point, that wouldn't solve the problem, right. add more lanes, you put in more cars, but you are -- all you're doing is diverting people from one mode to a different mode. it's about looking a
