an example is for us sfmta will be able to critique circle tracks. another piece of good news the sfmta has adapted the transit effectiveness project and finishing the phase and the venice project is on your desk for both projects we're vshtd designs with our staff and trying to assure that each of those is reviewed we'll be holding an enter departmental meeting to finalize the outstanding issues around scope and cost and schedule and be bringing a report back on both projects. next, we want to drawing your attention to the yerba buena island ramp project the construction is under a way we're encountering an urban accepted challenge of north of birds on the island. we've identified this was anticipated with the environmental input report trying to cooperate with caltrain with the costs of working around the birds north site but if the north hablz continue there will be a delay so to offset that we're letting the contractor work on other parts we'll bring an update to see how we can work around this challenge. we're pleased and thank the board for speb

. >> i think it's important to sfmta to use its own resources to enforce the pedestrian safety. whether walking the bike lanes that impact the safety of our cyclists or to help to support really the limited resources that sfmta has >> yes. that's another avenue we're exploring we're working with our improvement group within the sfmta to look at how our pcos can aid the sf pd but we're looking at the policy opportunities and then as well as a lot of our grants are multi facets so that role as far as the sfmta and sf pd to make sure we're including the enforcement within the grant. >> it will be good to have the sfmta what they provided whether the number of enforcement tickets where it's going to focus it's goals and whether or not they're going to be part of the resources we - i think as a matter of fact, should be able to allocate those resources we've talked about how the pcos can be a role but we should know what the goal is specifically. supervisor mar >> yeah. i wanted to appreciate that question and the response from the sfmta but to thank commander ali i know that when we

use of muni stops not faxing others stops. the pilot program will operate as follows: sfmta will solicit accident applications and establish operational requirements and track compliance my effect in essence of the shared stop system and use that information to shape a proposal for long term managed if it's desired that long term program will be subject to its own environmental review. the process of denying a project is an important and complex one for an agency. sometimes real world experimental informational garter is part of that process and sequa provides a way to do on ground work without getting caught to do an endless review to define the project that is subject to environmental review. that way that sequa provides is the classic exemption under the sequa guidelines. i'm going to quote from the sequa guidelines pr class 6 is for basic data collection research and experimental management and reelevation activity that don't result to damage to the environmental resources. those are for environmental researches and for study for a public agency has not adapted or fund. there are exemption where a project affects a hazardous or cr

safety there's wasn't a set of data we could present in our report so we used the observations that have been reported to sfmta and our site it is not a comprehensive settlement to the bicycle safety issues. in looking at the reports relating to pedestrian bicyclists and pedestrian safety issues did you looked at the impacts of the muni buses on those safety issues or trucks or cars or other vehicles >> did scope of this analysis was the impact shilts shuttles. >> in terms of viewing this this is not a criticism is analysis you performed was not placing any safety issues for shilts in context or comparison with other vehicles to see if it's an issue or not. >> we certainly presented it that way if we had the information i'm not opposed to that the primary objective was the identify the impacts of the shuttles. >> in also in assessing little impacts did you we heard before if the shuttles disappear according to two surveys half of the shuttle riders would drive single occupancy cars to the pen cul-de-sack suicidal i, you know, there's a range of people on the shuttle but if there's 50 people people on the shutt

sfmta. the goals are incredibly important for us to reach we're progressive around the environment and on reducing our carbon footprint. the it is great to see the breakdown was around the transportation and fuel. the sliefrl on waste and i guess the other was on construction. and in this area it's good to understand where our issue is occurring and i'm sorry energy was the other large factor. so it's important as a policymaker to understand what we're supposed be phone call our energy. it's great to see we're becoming important fuel-efficient we're not catching up to the increased usage where a r with whether on more trying driving. and encourage more people to walk and recycle. in the long-term i'm interested in a controversial pricing we have to have people be thought of and also paying into a fee if their causing congestion and costs for the city that's exactly what is happening right now ambassador we're xrerp with the incredible growth we're excited about and the revenues for the city is increased congestion. many of you who have spent time in south of market it's feels suffocating to walk w

why should voters vote to be taxed even more when sfmta wastes revenue that helps nobody and takes us back to forgotten days. you are essentially going to have goose free parking instead of muni for kids. you could have used this money to support people with disabilities who clearly need it. second, it violates all competition [speaker not understood] reduce congestion and increase pedestrian safety. sunday meters will pass in collaboration with many stakeholders including the chamber of commerce. it is a betrayal revoked but the same process is applied when passed. the citation rate institutes starting price of zero. improved signage, and please make it conditional on these new funding sources. lastly, you are nobody's puppets, you work for few. you're willing to [speaker not understood]. don't cover for them. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> frank o'connell. thea selby. randal. gene green. and jacks bryson. >> good afternoon, [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon, members of the board. i wish to speak in favor of retaining the street meter parking on sundayses. i'm very

used in the most important intersections. the most dangerous streets run through chinatown and tenderloin where it's poor communities. therefore we urge the sfmta to significantly increase the funds we want to make sure that people feel comfortable when they walk around the city. everyone is a pedestrian we all should have the same rights on our streets without fairs. thank you for your consideration >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> i'm aaron and this is lisa we want to push for the improvement of the pedestrian safety. and not only in chinatown but 120i8 san francisco. in my opinion pedestrian safety is indeed a must improvement if we want to see a brierthd future for san francisco pedestrians. all of us are pedestrians at one point we want to feel safe and pedestrians make up 50 percent of all collisions >> so seniors and youth are the most vulnerable to get into collisions because they're unable to make a light and they think it's fondle funny to randomly cross the street. we want to push the budget more funding for pedestrian safety because many of the seniors are afraid f what
