okay, director tomlin, thank you. i'm going to first call up julie kirschbaum who is here for a special recognition of her team . i'm really excited for this one. good afternoon. julie kirschbaum, the transit director . i am here to recognize some of my favorite people on the transit team at and to take a minute to just reflect on in the last ten months or so where we've been running ing really an incredible piece of, of infrastructure for the central subway and that infrastructure would not have been possible without hundreds of people at the agency and we had a chance to celebrate it. a lot of different pieces of the project team came in real time. but because the transit group is kind of continuing to passionately focus on all of the work that still needs to be done to make sure that the subway is safe and reliable and can work for generations to come. i also wanted to really highlight that the transit agent, the transit staff that made up the rail activation team, the rail activation team was led by terry fahey, w

today's special guest is jeff tomlin. >> hi. you are watching san francisco rising. to show that is focused on restarting, rebuilding, and reimagining our city. our guest today is the director transportation of the sfmta and he's with us to talk about the agency's 23-24 budget with the muni equity strategy and new projects across the city. welcome to the show. >> thank you it is good to be here. >> i see the sfmta's budget for 2023 and 2024 has been approved. how will it help provide a strong recovery during the next few years for our riders, operators and staff? >> it has been a challenging couple of years. covid wiped out the basic finances. our agency is funded primarily from transit fares, parking fees and a fixed set aside for a general fund and covid has meant we have lost more than half of our parking and transit for revenue. we are not expected to recover them until 2027. this budget takes a one-time federal release funding and spreads that out between now and 2025. and our task is to rebuild trust with the voters that sfmta can actually deliver on their goal

good afternoon, director tomlin and board. i'm lloyd silverstein . i'm the founder of the hayes valley merchants council and we currently hold the permit for the shared streets program. i also want to mention i'm a third generation owner of the oldest optical store in san francisco, which got its start just a few blocks from here in 1907. i hope you'll indulge me if i go over my two minutes, but there's been a lot going on here and i really want to be able to address everything. hayes valley was hit especially hard by the pandemic. within six months, one out of every three businesses had closed for no other commercial corridor in the city was hit this hard. yet we've come back faster and stronger than any of them. we are fully leased. take a look at chestnut union fillmore. you'll see dozens of for lease signs. the reason that hayes valley is thriving is simple. for much of the pandemic. i and others that you've heard from today spent our weekends touring hayes valley with brokers and potential new tenants. what they saw here and what they saw. nowhe

. >> i am craig tomlin. they're going to deep fakes.trategically as you talk to your five networks, do you allow this to go on? >> a really good question. every single one of our networks has some form of a fact checker or verifier. we are learning to be rather technologically skillful in helping dissect some of these things. some of the deep fakes are reasonably easy to expose. you find, well actually, that was not from ukraine. it was actually from five years ago. you can still do a lot of that stuff. we are trying to make sure that our operations and giving people some alternative to that. i have a big issue in my head about how you do this. i don't believe that pushing back is an effective strategy. if you want to believe something, all you do is make people dig in. i think the biggest success possible for us lies in just flooding the zones. it's not a very satisfactory answer but actually think is the most effective answer. >> we haven't lost the information war but we could be losing it. in recent years, social media had a huge lo

luke bornheimer first, i want to thank director tomlin staff and the board, especially chair ekin and walk san francisco and the san francisco bicycle coalition for their work and advocacy on ab 645 and speed enforcement cameras. speed enforcement cameras will make the 33 streets that they're installed on likely in 2025 safer. that said, there's no good reason to wait until 2025 to install these cameras or more red light cameras, which the agency hasn't used its full authority to install more of or install faster. and we need the agency to choose locations for speed enforcement cameras and install them as soon as possible. ideally in the first half of 2024 since director hemminger mentioned arm traffic enforcement by sfpd, i think it's important to highlight what we know will make our streets safer and directly address our roadway safety crisis, as well as our climate crisis. our public health crisis and car traffic and noise and air pollution in our city. the single best thing we can do to address this all of these things is create a connected network of protected bike lanes througho

this is where we were, the real advantage of the room arise. iran had they really wanted to inflict tomlins or they would have done it in the 1st 24 hours when his driver was confused on his knees. nothing was going on the 7th, 8th of october, that for the be that transferred it on to mobilize as well. they didn't, and the such. i don't think they intend to do a war against as a all the state is coming out of a run on that topic. have been, have been careful, don't go any further. or there may be an escalation anyone's the i used to read, i live on the late we are and they haven't, as you point out, they haven't done so if they were looking for an excuse to escalate the conflicts. but i think with all your has, i can do right in front of me. they've always used palestine as an excuse to mobilize, but that's what i'm saying. but as far as providing play works, they food already for iraq, for 10 years to liberate joseph. so there is, this issue is always been the case now if they really want, they would have done it. now, there is another alternative which would tie a lot of his radio resourc
