the last thing i wanted to talk about related to the subway is west portal. we appreciated the feedback that as valuable as the parking control officers are, we want to be moving toward a more self-sustaining system. so we'll be bringing to you in may a set of short-term solutions, particularly aimed at the morning commutes to reduce the auto traffic and prioritize that area for the thousands and thousands of people that are coming by bus and walking and by train. so we are in the process now of sharing that with the stakeholders in west portal and we'll have that to bring back to you in may. >> the last thing i wanted to touch on in my presentation is switchbacks. we're doing, for the first time, we have made a commitment to stop doing switchbacks on the t-line. and it is giving us an opportunity to respond to some longstanding customer feedback that it's frustrating and challenging when they're headed ottawa senator the end of the -- toward the end of the line and their train gets turned back. i know many of you know this, but i just wanted to kind of clari

it seems like -- there was a pilot project in west portal portal to reduce waste. yes, we have to look at the problems within m.t.a. as an agency, but we also have to look at it the other way. >> thank you. speaker. >> eileen, here on my own behalf although one quarter of the m.p. operating budget is general fund set aside money, taxpayer money, our money, the policies and practices do not appear to reflect this. residents and neighborhoods serving businesses do not see a meaningful return on their investment. in a recent article, it was written that munimobile's problems are real and persistent it needs massive funding, and it needs workable administrative structure, which puts it at the center of the department. we should look at a series of revenue measures such as congestion pricing charging, tee and c., and a special fee for entering the transit business district. we need to dramatically increase transit fees on our new market rate housing, and commercial to this study levels. we need to create a new gross receipts tax on transit dependent existing businesses

campaign because we have seen now the time, particularly the outbound time from embarcadero to west portal creep back up to that 22 minutes where we would like it to be closer to 20, if not 19. some of the major things that we did accomplish with the focus on the subway was transitioning to the transportation management centre, i think it continues to pay off. we implemented some additional support to manage traffic and we are also going to be presenting today some additional traffic modifications in the a.m., which would complement those parking control officers. we also inspected 130 of the couplers in an effort to reduce the number of breakdowns we were having. anywhere in the system is problematic, but particularly when the breakdowns happen in the subway. they really create problems that propagate through the entire day so as i think through this work and where we are going with this next 90 day plan, a lot of our priorities are not going to change. we're going to continue to focus on safety, we will continue to focus on service reliability, subway performance, and then i am going to

for example, customers that are stuck between forest hill and west portal, trying to exit the subway. we set a goal here to reduce delay by 10%. we did meet that goal. we met it primarily by focusing on our transition points. for example, by putting parking control officers at west portal and being more proactive about how we are prioritizing trains getting out of the subway. we saw an immediate reduction in the amount of time people were spending between -- stuck between stations. embarcadero is

the next meeting, the 21st of may, we anticipate bringing before you a west portal pilot idea, as well as a 54 felton realignment. and then later in the spring and probably early summer, we have several other service-related projects that we want to bring forward to this board for consideration. mostly about extending connections, making new connections, once again, making the system easier to use, and really being able to replace the car with a transit trip. this slide was already really shown in the map slide, when we talked about what we're going to be doing next priority-wise. i wanted to highlight some of the major corridors where we plan to launch into outreach over the next year or so. one i didn't mention was church street. in the map, i neglected to mention that. we are working with the idea of some really kind of quick-hit projects along the "j" to improve "j" service, and make that service work a little better. and the future of moving forward, we, over the next several years, are going to continue to put both moving forward and equity strategy principles in our service plan

in general, west portal has a pretty good safety record, and everybody treats the intersection cautiously because it is relatively complex. also, i think it is worth noting that the 48 comes every ten minutes, so it's not like a constant stream of pedestrians at that conflict point, and then related to the idea of putting the 48 in the half-circle, the station, which is currently the terminal of 57, one of the concerns with that is that, essentially, a big source of delay right now in that area is the number of pedestrians going into the station. that big half-circle kind of functions as a free-for-all, and it functions like a giant scramble right now. the more we are able to put pedestrians in a channel to use a walkway area to get into the station, the better we would be able to manage that source of delay. in an ideal world, we would get the 57 out of there as well, perhaps at the face two of this. there is also a limitation in that there's not much room for another bus there. >> okay. and the reason why you're focused on folks transferring from inbound is because we're talking about 6

those include courts at golden gate heights, west portal, the recreation center in the marina, mclarenone avista park and mountain lake park. four public tennis courts have been resurfaced earlier this year. we have done 400,000 -- donated $400,000 to the learning centre and the rec room and the new tenant center that has broken ground in golden gate park. $95,000 to the restoration of the correct playground in golden gate park that was damaged in a tragic incident of arson in 2017 we were the leading project sponsor of that restoration. we have given $300,000 to the let's play initiative towards retrofitting the 13 playgrounds in most need of repair to the project being led by the parks alliance in partnership with san francisco recreation and parks department. almost exactly one month ago, we broke ground on five of these playgrounds at panhandle playground, outer mission, mclaren playground, said heights playground and sergeant mccauley playground. in february, we celebrated our donation of $105,000 to the gene friend recreation center, which is only a few blocks away from 88 bluxom

the fair inspectors and medially dropped with they were doing and helped manage both west portal and church and market, which was critical, but we also need to standardize those plans so that we can immediately send the people that are doing that work, these are your talking points, this is where you need to position yourself, this is how you're going to need to interact with folks, so i think we've gotten the first step of really understanding that we have to have a mass deployment of staff when we have an incident this serious, and now building the playbook so that we have a media -- immediate materials at our fingertips is also a critical next step. so i don't want to minimize this situation, it is a huge deal to go 13 hours without having subway access to the downtown, and we are doing everything that we can to develop lessons, but then implement those lessons, because there is a lot to learn from this situation. >> okay. director, i'm sorry, where you done? >> yes. >> do you mind if we split up your report for questions here? are there any questions? >> so this actually goes --
