supervisor chiu -- van ness stop at vallejo. there's a principal concern for those in russian hill, certainly the local neighbors. i think these have to be evaluated on an individual basis and they do have very significant impacts on residents living in the neighborhoods. from my perspective, it is time to move forward. i hope we get this out today. >> as we think about van ness brt and from my perspective in district two as the gateway of san francisco we are going to have that /ud /aud parkway in a number of years and my focus is going to start to be on lombard and what happens and reenvision that street and we need to now think about lombard street as well. again, thank you for everyone involved in district two and certainly staff for all your full-time -- time and /harpd work on this. >> i think /hropl lombard is a very important intersection and we have to connect the improvements we're doing throughout the city. i am very, very excited about the certification of the cir and checking off a milestone on this very important p

van ness cars still average 10 miles per hour. in the short van ness corridor with high density crossing traffic and transit lines,you can't do better without compromise to the other crosslines in traffic. a ten point penalty would be assessed for this plan due to low commercial speeds. basically it's not rapid transit. [inaudible] bike or other muni trips, but auto transit time is 2/3 of the brt time. this is not transit growth. aversion from walk, bike does not make sense. more than 50 percent of the trips which start in the corridor are already walk or bike. it's the greenest most economical choice. finally, we know it's likely this proposal will be approved. we appreciate the board for et its efforts related to our traffic concerns. we remain fundamentally opposed -- >> thank you very much. we just want to reiterate we have two minutes. i didn't quite catch the ending bell. next speaker please. >> afternoon to everyone. i just want you to know that i really appreciate what you're up to, especially the board of supervisors, mem

specifics of van ness -- i, as a fairly regular user of the van ness lines during the day, during non rush hour, during rush hour, i think anyone that using the van ness lines will know it is a salute disaster. it is a traffic cesspool. there are times when i'll be coming back from city hall from somewhere north of here and i will get off the bus to walk because it is -- the bus is just not moving. it has to go through multiple cycles even to get through a traffic light and there are times when i'm kicking moist -- myself for not getting ting off the bus because we have been sitting for ten minutes to go one block. i am thankful -- i hope approving the middle lane option -- it is -- i think to make this work it needs to be in the middle lane and putting in a side lane, while i understand the desire of some to do that, means the buses will get caught behind every right turning car and i think it'll be much less effective. i also think this particularly for any brt project where we're investing significant public money and making significant trade offs in terms of parking and traffic an

work along van ness and i go to school there so i've used van ness avenue to get to school. i'm really glad that this project is coming along and i hope that the consideration to transit riders are being taken into consideration so this will be a sustainable project. i'm glad we're making the step forward for a project that would help people feel more proud of san francisco transit. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi good afternoon, my name is jeffrey johnson. i'm with transform. i used to be a former open city council member staffer. i'm here to advocate for brt. we're doing it in oakland, we have some of the same concerns you guys have. with seniors, we had it three new stops with in particular project. they're doing it in san jose, they have an emerald line in oregon, they have a project in ohio. some of the concerns -- i know commissioner breed talked about drilling underground, but in seattle they're taking down the double decker freeway, that drilling understood ground is very expensive. up in oregon we did a really good job with proper vegetation,

[inaudible] and having these customs with transport department to discuss some of the traffic arrangement and we discuss about a better solution and other solution for the arrangement. the resident council [inaudible] concern and not discuss among themselves everything for the resident and to discuss about what would they like to have about a new system. because we need [inaudible] life and to live and to live [inaudible]. we hope the new traffic system can realize these things in san francisco. we hope that you can consider the [inaudible] and concern or concern. you will be concern and [inaudible] be better. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> hello. i also live in notre dame. i took the 49 bus to come here for city hall for the public hearing. when the bus [inaudible] understand that community is h

i love van ness. i live 1 block from van ness. we need to get less crowded. 70 percent of the 47 is a crush load. we have to go ahead more people on buses and out of cars. the faster we can get the buses and the safer we can make it for the bikes and pedestrians, we can get them out of their cars. we thank everybody, the ta and cac and sfmta. >> herbert weiner. i encourage you to stop and pause and not move this quickly as possible. for one thing, how does this affect cars? you are going to have a spill over of traffic from franklin and hyde street and eleven worth streets. they are going to be more heavily populated by cars. i realize there is an anti-car culture in this city. the reality is that everyone drives cars including communist. so the thing about it is, you have to really start balancing your thinking in respect to cars. and you cannot give cars short trips. they are part of the problem. as far as i can see, this agency has done nothing about the problems of cars. parking is even worse and you are supposed to address pa

stop at van ness. we need to have more bus rapid transit lines and we need to have a political will to do that. i do want to comment on the comment that was made about the 7 minute issue, which i think will probably get quoted in the press and there will be some sort of narrative out there about how there is $125 million dollars outs there to save seven minutes. i think that is totally misleading. saving seven minutes is incredibly con /seb conservative. all you have to do is ride on these lines when there's any traffic, not just rush hour, even 2:30 in the afternoon. i think the savings will be significantly more than even minutes. that is appropriately conservative which is what we try to do when doing an environmental survey. if you multiply that out for people who use that twice a day, that is -- i think i've calculated this correctly -- an hour an 35 minutes that one person using it twice a day has saved in a week, which i think calculates out to 80 hours of that person's time over the course of a
