, proper transportation. that's political incompetence and malfeasance in my view. where is the planning commission? where is the director of planning in san francisco about the gridlock? what is your solution in 2050? can we get by next year with all this new construction? all this new construction in san francisco is going to add massively to a transportation gridlock but it's not on your radar. again, where is the planning commissioner is the executive director of planning? what's their plan for all the new construction. is it a massive transit, a public transit being planned in san francisco to address this new correction? hell know. no. because you are run by the developers. you are run by the developers. the developers don't want to have a transit tax for more mass transportation. they're interested in building their projects and making profit from that for the next project. that's what they're about. you are responsible for that. it raises the question to remove the director of planning and to put some

we have design and transport needs. we hope that the work we gather to benefit the youth and families will no go in vain. we had eight outreach workshops and 550 participants. moving on we need to work with sfmta more to make it a possibility for folsom and howard. you've seen the presentation and seen our faces in the community engagement projects but i do hope it's not just a token gesture. i hope there's actual follow-through and results. thank you. >> clerk: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. as a community member and resident of district 6 and family case worker in here in support of the howard and folsom streetscape project. it's important it embodies the community here and they have been asking for reduced speed limits and a safety net around the areas there are schools and an elementary school and middle school. the families have been asking for this over a decade. the streetscape project has committed to some of our voices and committed to planting an additional trees with species reflecting our cultural

the transportation authority. i am here to talk about the connect sf statement of needs. as michelle told you about the area. i will speak to how we are developing our local priorities that feed to the regional plan. joining me in the audience today are some of our colleagues from key partner agencies and leads of the project. we have linda of the transportation authority as well as doug johnson from the planning department and the sf m.t.a. connect sf strives to collaborate, coordinate and streamline long-range transportation planning across the city agencies to identify major transportation investments and policies. it factors in land use to plan transportation as the two are related and interdependent. in the spring of 2018, we completed the first phase of work. this included developing a vision what the city will be like in 50 years. this was an extensive outreach with 5,000 individuals and 60 organizations contributed the thoughts on the future of san francisco as a place to live, work and place. the vision i

to model the future, we had to input our current transportation system and what we assume the transportation system to be in 2050, if we did no further planning today. and to build the model, we used both physical infrastructure and program attic considerations. we started with what we know about the network during our baseline year of 2015 so streets, regional, bike networks and for the year 2050 we used the assumptions from plan bay area 2040. large infrastructure projects and transit capacity improvements and some examples we included 2050 are gary bus rapid transit and central subway and cal train downtown extension. san francisco will continue to grow. we estimate 24% growth in the number of jobs. there will be nearly 30% growth in residents. i also want to note the bay area region will grow more than san francisco. so how do we calculate this expected growth? starting with the growth that was projected in plan bay area 2040, we added other inputs for development capacity based on adopted plans and policies. this includes programs such as accessory dwelling units, the state density prog

it's widely considered the safest mode of transport. but tickets aren't cheap following fare hikes last year authorities say women now make up just 30 percent of metro commuters that could change if the free rides become a reality the delhi government says it's proposal to make public transport free for women would go a long way towards improving their safety in the city the argument is that accessible modes of transport will encourage more women to join the workforce and also allow them access to public spaces dominated by men. but on the streets of the . opinions a shop be divided over the move. though you may like it i think it's a good move for women right now so many working women have to pay so much on just commuting. i would really hate i don't believe this is a great decision this is totally arises if you should install c.c.t.v. cameras and so flag dock it fill it filling please a woman safety nor does making transport free of cost. think it's unfair for men because. they will have to pay more because that woman in free for wome

transportation and housing policy. our governor said housing transportation and transportation housing, they are not the same thing but they are so inter linked and there is a push and pull between them. there are times like you build the interstate highway system when transportation has a huge enabling impact on housing development, sometimes it goes the other way. i think it is more like that now. as you are all to be commended for the amount of housing construction going on in san francisco, but it is having a huge impact on the transportation network. i think our professional as a whole has not done well at that. an old friend of mine used to say transportation is a great servant but lousy master. i think that is well said because our transportation system exists to get us to where we want to go, to our families, our job. it exists to allow us to maximize other values and purposes. i think as long as we acknowledge that is the way that relationship works, i think working again to tighten that relationship so that w

she's the transportation secretary. so in that case, we've got a firm with huge mass transit contracts. right? that means we've got a firm in a position to benefit from mass transit decisions by her, and that firm chooses to do a hugely remunerative deal with her family's company, and she as a federal official shows up to celebrate and applaud that deal. i mean, that would be something. right? that would be elaine chao, president trump's transportation secretary. and that was all leading up to the story we covered last night from politico.com where we learned elaine chao has designated a special liaison inside the transportation department specifically to help her husband. her husband is the top republican in the senate. nobody involved denies that elaine chao as secretary of transportation has set up a unique process just for him inside the labor department to make sure that a special intermediary is always on hand to facilitate federally funded transportation department projects that her husband wants steered to his h

that is almost $54,000 to purchase to use 36 days to transport equipment. so out of 365 days a year, i feel it's not that strong of an argument because you already have 21 cars in your fleet, and that i would realize that it would take maybe two trips, but if you're only doing this 36 times -- days a year, and if it's for a duration of 36 days, i just don't see the justification. however, mr. b.l.a., do you have a response at all to this? >> yes. so we discussed this with the chief, and it's our understanding that there are 17 vehicles currently used by the department to collect weapons and other items from parolees on any given day. all of these vehicles are in use. but we did a sample of the 17 vehicles for april and may of this year, and found that on most days, two out of those three vehicles -- and we just looked at three out of the 17 that they transport weapons and ammunition were unused. so because we believe that the department is underutilizing their fleet, we do not believe that this request is justified. >> chair fewer: thank you. supervisor man

for the transportation needs. i just really hope that moving forward, that we really try to make amtrak all it can be moving forward. and you talked about the population areas, and i agree with you. truthfully, you gotta go where the money is, right? but, we can forget about the rural areas either. so, where i'm going with this, you probably already know, is that in too little, small towns, that happen to be fairly close to where i live personally, there was a ticket office that was closed. no big deal. except for the fact that in montana, we don't have broadband. 25% of the places in montana don't have broadband. so you can buy tickets online. except for the fact that there is no kiosk in these places, that there is a person there, but they can sell tickets. and the question becomes for me, if we are not going to leave rural america out like the postal service, like the postal service guy, postmaster general tried to do a few years ago, like what happened with broadband. how do we make it so these folks in rural

i believe this amendment unnecessarily takes away a vital transportation option for transporting our natural gas to both underserved markets on the mainland of the united states and to our ports, so it can be exported around the world. with certain states making it more difficult to transport l.n.g. by pipeline, we need all the available options at our disposal to transport these nudge--- these much-needed energy resources. we have been transporting oil by rail for tech kids. since liquid natural gas is a relatively new energy commodity, federal rules haven't caught up to the need for flexibility in transporting l.n.g. which is why i was pleased to see section 4-b included in the president's executive order. instead of trying to limit this, we should be assisting in any way possible to increase our energy security. i ask they my colleagues gin me in opposing this amendment and i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from threa. mr. diaz-balart: may i ask the time remaining. the chair: the gentleman from oregon has one minute remaining. mr. defazio: i yield myself 1
