Music doesnt change. [laughter] last one. When we were at the project level we tried to develop multilingual materials, that we did last year. On your left you will see our vision zero safe spot posters that are currently being sold right now. They started last weekend and should be complete this weekend and are in 150 different locations throughout the city. On your right you will see examples of our materials from our postfatality outreach cards from our Crisis Response team and also the memorial posters that we install. When we are at community events, farmers markets, libraries, sunday street these are the multilingual materials we have. Sorry. On your left, you will see comment cards in spanish and chinese that were developed specifically for the communities these cards are not available in english. I also wanted to give you an update on our chinese focus campaign which is part of our deliverables and our action strategy. Here are pictures of us in partnering with chinese hospitals in chinatown at their healthcare. Speaking with our patients in getting more information. We will also be working with our department of Public Health partners to see how we can get even more information to create a culturally Relevant Campaign that speaks to the chinese population. With that i will turn it over to my colleague at the department of Public Health who will speak to you about safeties for Seniors Program. Thank you. Come on up. Thank you for the introduction. Good afternoon commissioners. I am the Program Coordinator for safety for seniors at dph. Im going to present on safety for seniors how we reach out to the seniors, particularly the multilingual seniors. Im excited to hear what the committee has been doing on outreach. I am happy to reach out after to see how we can Work Together on outreach. Our dph is educating seniors and Service Providers on vision zero and gathering feedback and bringing back to our agencies. Our staff conducts multilingual presentations in the outreach to seniors on the Service Providers on vision zero and how to enroll in business zero and how to stay safe. Our Program Starts april 2015. Since then we reach out to over 2000 seniors and staff at 62 locations. Also our program is responsible for organizing local neighborhoods and Community Based organizations to work on safety through the whole city. The funding profits will be given to the underserved neighborhoods and special populations at risk. In the fiscal year 152017 and 17 to 18. The 15 communitybased organizations, and the current physical year, 1819. We have seven communitybased organizations and by our neighborhood focus. They include walk sf, senior disability action group. Chinatown Community Development centers in the south family connections. Tenderloin Community Benefit districts, lighthouse for the bright and visceral and visually impaired. Some of them are here today. I would like to say thank you for all of the great work they have done. Also, as i mentioned, our staff will go out to the different neighborhoods and Senior Centers to do the educational presentation and outreach. There neighborhood including multiple neighborhood located including chinatown, bayview, mission and tenderloin. Our audience we reach are very diverse and nonenglish speaking. And then the presentation, the presentation is translated in cantonese, mandarin and spanish to address the language barriers in the community. At the same time during the presentation, we take the feedback from the community and then share that with our city Panel Agencies such as mta. Here is a picture of our staff talking to the seniors at their safe streets for seniors and tenderloin. [inaudible] also, our safety for Seniors Program educational materials, one for safety for seniors brochure, i believe everybody has one in your hand. Also, our senior outreach card and both of them are translated into foreign languages. We give this out to the seniors during our presentation, and community panels. The seniors really love them, because [inaudible] the people say they feel much safer and helpful as they go out. I also have the sample i brought here. If you feel and feel free to reach out to me for more if you need it. Here is my presentation on our program. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Any questions . Just a real quick one, i noticed on your presentation you have high injury neighborhoods that you are covering for your presentations and outreach. Are you doing any at all lives matter one the sunset or ocean avenue area. The sunset area we have several presentations before. We dont have the main focus there. We have one scheduled july 11 with our group called senior power. That would be another presentation in the sunset area. We would also like to schedule moore one the area. Thank you. If you need help in my district anyway, district 7, there is quite a few senior programs and i know, you look at the stat over the last two years, even though sometimes you dont consider high injury area. You look at the stats and see how many seniors are actually being killed and you will see that it is pretty high, relative for everything that happens in the city. I think that is something we shouldnt ignore. I could rattle off exactly where they were killed. Thank you for the comment and we will followup. Thank you. Any Public Comments on this item . Educational outreach. Mr. Wright. The program that you are reaching out, i would see like to see you reach even further than that. You have a city College Situation here where students can go to college for free. It seems like a good program that you demonstrated the negative gas flow. I would like to see reach out to the board of supervisors, all of them in order to get legislation for people that is economically disadvantaged and families of all nationalities including asians that are on your welfare care not cash program. In order to receive those type of benefits you are not permitted to go to college its unconstitutional. Its a violation of the 14th amendment pertaining to due process and equal protection under the law. You have a situation enjoyed by one set of people that can go to college for free and another set of people that cant go to college and educate themselves and for free as well. I would like to see you outreach to the board of supervisors, to see if you can get some legislation for people debtors seeking not only disadvantage, not only in your own nationality of asian people, but all nationalism nationalities of people here in San Francisco and on the economically disadvantaged program. By the same response, this chancellor i believe is very scandalous. He says he find me 50 million asking for a 50 million bond plus a 2. 5 million additional bond, and you claim that youre going to be with a surplus. The truth of the matter is you are in debt and youre getting 2. 4 million so you increase the debt up to 52. 4 million in debt. He is scandalous. First he told us he was 11. 5 million in debt. Turns out it is 32. 5 million. You can outreach like that. Thank you. Next speaker. Come on up. Good afternoon commissioners. I am from curry senior center. I am one of the vision zero grantees. In here there are letters that we have drafted, and on the letters it says dear city, in San Francisco, half of all pedestrian deaths resulting from deaths is persons 16 and older. Make industries of the tenderloin safer for pedestrians. We urge you to address the issue listed below in a timely manner so we as older adults and adults with disabilities can safely utilize the sidewalks and crosswalks in our neighborhood. By making the intersection at leavenworth a pedestrian scramble to lessen unsafe sidewalk congestion at the corners. By stopping left hand turns on Church Street. In leavenworth with red lights and by posting speed limit signs to post traffic. Addressing these issues should be a priority for any cd leader that values the lives of older adults making these changes now will allow us to live longer and healthier lives. Thank you. Any other Public Comments . Public comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk call item number nine. [reading items] good afternoon. My name is victoria truong i am one of the Program Planners at the safe streets Evaluation Program which takes a look at some of our key bicycle, pedestrian projects. I want to showcase some of our highlights of the program specifically 15 new projects as well as a few citywide safety treatments. We just released our year end reports, this may, and i have some copies here if youre interested. We talked a lot about our safety proposals and plans to projects. How are we doing generally on those projects . Overall we are performing well in locations where we made upgrades we have Lessons Learned. People feel safer and more comfortable walking and biking in locations where facilities were upgraded. Vehicles are traveling at safer speeds with the reduction of a traveling and traffic measures. More people are biking on streets with newly upgraded bike lanes specifically protected bike lanes and Lessons Learned include the mixing zones generally help the conflict but dont necessarily solve the problem. Following the implementation of folsom street where we put in a protected bikeway along with other pedestrian amenities. We did a survey with people on the corridor and we saw that people walking felt generally more comfortable and i think its also important to note that to people even driving either felt more comfortable or had no change at all which was about 88 . Specifically on seventh and eighth streets we saw 16 decrease in in vehicle streets on seventh street and a 9 decrease in vehicle speeds on eighth street. Even a small reduction in speed can dramatically increase the probability of surviving a crash. On Church Street this is a great example of a new bike facility that has led to a lot of success in bike counts. We saw a 287 increase in bike counts in the evening commute time. Also a large increase as well in the morning commute. With folsom street we also saw 80 of people driving yielded to bicyclists at mixing zones. We saw 4 of observations at mixing zones resulted in close calls or near crash instances. I will talk a little bit more about alternatives later in this presentation. Aside from large corridor project we also looked at localized spot improvements and tools that improve safety. Specifically we did look at tainted safety zones, flashing beacons and daylighting. Generally we see when it comes to making pedestrians and feel safer, painted safety zones work. Flashing beacons increasing yielding to pedestrians in San Francisco with a lot of pedestrians do not use them. Daylighting improves visibility and reduces collisions between drivers and pedestrians specifically in tenderloin. For painted safety zones we saw that motorists are generally turning at slower speeds. They are yielding to pedestrians more often and they are also turning out a further distance from the curve on the sidewalks. At rapid rectangular flashing beacons we saw 16 increase in vehicle yield rates, 13 decrease in close calls and we have also seen the average use was only about 84 . Over the next year we will be evaluating more flashing beacons as we install more on the different types of roadways in San Francisco. Lastly, for the localized tools we also saw for daylighting specifically in the tenderloin district we saw 14 fewer collisions within the tenderloin district. On top of that we have been leading the way and continually looking to innovate our street designs over the last year, or past years we have implemented a number of parking protected bikeways. We installed the first protected intersection at night on division street that was well received by the community and also a number of separated bike signals to improve that movement at mixing zones. For parking bikeways we saw 88 fewer loading violations on Church Street compared to the prior position. On 910 division st. We saw vehicles are generally yielding to bicyclists as well as pedestrians and also turning at a speed either below or under the speed limit. For separated bike signals we have looked at two so far and we will continue to look at them as they are implemented. We see 86 of bicyclists comply to signals generally vehicles are also complying to the signals and the close calls compared to mixing zones are almost reduced to only one in those instances where we saw that. The bike signals themselves or reducing the likelihood between bikes and signals. Lastly we have a couple of before and after shots of seventh and eighth street here where we have reduced a vehicle lane and implemented a protected bikeway. 17th st. Where we removed the parking and installed a protected bike facility. So that people on bikes and wheelchairs were no longer getting stuck. A folsom street we implemented a protected bike facility as well as Curve Management to work with the merchants in the general area. As we continue on with our evaluations we will likely come back again at another time to report back on the different types of improvements we are making in San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any questions . Icing on. As we implement more and more of these daylighting situations, i dont know if you have the capacity to study more areas in which we will be implementing in a systematic way. I think we will be looking into yes evaluating daylighting, as we do moore one the city. The young lady that came up for Public Comments, before, mentioned leavenworth and turk. I noticed in your presentation you talked about some other places that was of interest to improve in the tenderloin but did not mention that particular intersection leavenworth and turk when they are making lefthand turns. Is that something you can look into. I actually would love, there is a bunch of petitions here, not sure who to give it to, maybe mta could look at that corner to see if we could have a lefthand turn signal there. Okay . Thank you. Any Public Comments on this issue . I will be brief. I really want the law of this last section, i think daylight assessment taken. I would like to ask in addition to that, one comment, daylighting; some of you who have been here for a long time may remember, in the past it was 10 feet from every intersection was already day lit and then we passed the law that eliminated it and then the cars were parking up to the curb. This is not a new idea. This is going back to a safe idea that worked for decades. For that very reason i think it shouldnt be something that needs to be justified. It worked very well at that time. The second thing is, one of the pictures showed a picture of taking away the parking on a roadway that had tracks on the middle, one of the most Dangerous Things as a bicycle is a parallel tracks in case you have to cross a particularly if they are wet. Extremely dangerous to try to right next to those tracks. If there could be a General Program to try to do that everywhere that those tracks are there, it would make a big difference in safety. Thank you very much. Any other Public Comments on this item . Public item is now closed. Please call item number 10. [reading items] yes, talking about daylighting, is something we passed recently at the board of supervisors to implement programs that would make it easier. I dont know what the words are. I was asking mta to daylight as many intersections as possible to come up with a plan to intersect daylight how many was at . I asked her daylighting in a year. Was it 500 corners . I dont remember. Good afternoon, chair e. It was 500. We wanted to make sure that we could commit to something we could actually get implemented. Are aspiring to at least that. We are limited by resources and capacity i did not great i just could as we saw with the tenderloin project it, in did we will get at least that type of result, if not better. I since that there would parking is impacted. You know, it would personally respond to people that think it is better dave parking spaces. The point is here on the future, for a future item that strategy be read this committee. On tuesday, the board of supervisors passed which expanded telematics vehicles is an advanced x speed baking and so forth. With the significant buffets including increasing safety. Since 2017, more than 40,000 of our cities, telematics will be expanded to nearly 1000 Public Safety vehicles requesting a banana and audit and have the safety benefits presented to this committee in the future. For introduction . I add and elect comments on introduction i would like to have you add to the new item of a possibility building Affordable Housing around the particularly focusing in on the who sleep and use that facility has a shelter because they have nowhere else to go the income and your reservation systems are yet have you address that, because where they consistent. I would also like will to the millions of dollars the target you never see multimillion being addressed advantage people in San Francisco. I would like to have you include that in your future plans and organizations, have these house rehabilitation locations where the behavior all can provide permanent locations for these people who live and have treatment at the same respectfully. Any other Public Comments is not a clerk, lets call the next item. Item 11, general public comment. Comment. Okay.

But most importantly, working for the city and county of San Francisco gives employees an opportunity to contribute their ideas, energy, and commitment to shape the citys future. Thank you for considering a career with the city and county of San Francisco. One more statement. We are the one. That is our first single that we made. That is our opinion. I cant argue with you. You are responsible please do not know his exact. [ ] [ ] [ ] i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. I took a seven year break. And then i came back. I worked in the library for a long time. When i started working the San Francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. I thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. So i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. She was very interested. One of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. This is definitely a valuable poster. Because it is petty bone. It has that weird look because it was framed. It had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. We had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. It wasnt a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. We have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. That i could donate myself. From theyre, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well . The historic moments in San Francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [ ] it brought all of the punks on the web west coast to San Francisco to see this show. The sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to San Francisco. They skipped l. A. And they skipped most of the media centres. San francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. Their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. We were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. And the nuns were also asked to open the show. It was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. It was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l. A. , obviously. To San Francisco to see this show. There are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. It was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. It was also, the pistols last show. In a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. The city of San Francisco didnt necessarily support punk rock. [ ] last, but certainly not least is a jello be opera. They are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. If we are blaming anybody in San Francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. There you go. We had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought that he thought was obscene that had been put up. The city of San Francisco has come around to embrace its musicians. When they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. That was, at in a way, and appreciation from the city of San Francisco for the musical legends. I feel like a lot of people in San Francisco dont realize what resources there are at the library. We had a film series, the s. F. Punk film series that i put together. It was nearly sold out every single night. People were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. It is free. Everything in the library is free. It it is also a Film Producer who has a film coming out. Maybe in 2018 about crime. What is the title of it . It is called San Francisco first and only rock n roll movie. Crime, 1978. [laughter] when i first went to the Art Institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. I did not know i would turn into a punk singer. I got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. One of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. I was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. I did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. They are in the San Francisco history centres s. F. Police department records. There are so many Different Things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i dont have a library card. Ive never been there. They need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. The people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuffestuff from their grandpar, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future. [ ]lic in the future. I am the supervisor of district one. I am sandra lee fewer. [ ] i moved to the Richmond District in 1950 mine. I was two years old. I moved from chinatown and we were one of the first asian families to move out here. [ ] when my mother decided to buy that house, nobody knew where it was. It seems so far away. For a long time, we were the only chinese family there but we started to see the areas of growth to serve a larger chinese population. The stress was storage of the birthplace of that. My father would have to go to chinatown for dim sum and i remember one day he came home and said, there is one here now. It just started to grow very organically. It is the same thing with the russian population, which is another very large ethnic group in the Richmond District. As russia started to move in, we saw more russian stores. So parts of the richmond is very concentrated with the Russian Community and immigrant Russian Community, and also a chinese immigrant community. [ ] i think as living here in the richmond, we really appreciate the fact that we are surrounded three natural barriers. They are beautiful barriers. The presidio which gives us so many trails to walk through, ocean beach, for families to just go to the beach and be in the Pacific Ocean. We also also have a National Park service. We boarded the Golden Gate NationalRecreation Area so there is a lot of activity to do in the summer time you see people with bonfires. But really families enjoying the beach and the Pacific Ocean during the rest of the time of year. [ ] and Golden Gate Park where we have so many of our treasures here. We have the tea garden, the museum and the academy of sciences. Not to mention the wonderful playgrounds that we have here in richmond. This is why i say the richmond is a great place for families. The theatre is a treasure in our neighborhood. It has been around for a very long time. Is one of our two neighborhood theatres that we have here. I moved here when i was 1959 when i was two years old. We would always go here. I love these neighborhood theatres. It is one of the places that has not only a landmark in the Richmond District, but also in San Francisco. Small theatres showing one or two films. A unique they are unique also to the neighborhood and San Francisco. Where we are today is the heart of the Richmond District. With what is unique is that it is also Small Businesses. There is a different retail here it is mom and pop opening up businesses. And providing for the neighborhood. This is what we love about the streets. The cora door starts on clement street and goes all the way down to the end of clement where you will see Small Businesses even towards 32nd. At the core of it is right here between here and 20 tenth avenue. When we see this variety of stores offered here, it is very unique then of the any other part of San Francisco. There is traditional irish music which you dont get hardly anywhere in San Francisco. Some places have this long legacy of serving ice cream and being a hangout for families to have a sunday afternoon ice cream. And then also, we see grocery stores. And also these restaurants that are just new here, but also thriving. [ ] we are seeing restaurants being switched over by hand, new owners, but what we are seeing is a vibrancy of clement street still being recaptured within new businesses that are coming in. That is a really great thing to see. I dont know when i started to shop here, but it was probably a very, very long time ago. I like to cook a lot but i like to cook chinese food. The market is the place i like to come to once a year. Once i like about the market as it is very affordable. It has Fresh Produce and fresh meat. Also, seafood. But they also offer a large selection of condiments and sauces and noodles. A variety of rice that they have is tremendous. I dont thank you can find a variety like that anywhere else. Hi. I am kevin wong. I am the manager. In 1989 we move from chinatown to Richmond District. We have opened for a bit, over 29 years. We carry products from thailand, japan, indonesia, vietnam, singapore and india. We try to keep Everything Fresh daily. So a customer can get the best out a bit. Normally during crab season in november, this is the first place i hit. Because they have really just really fresh crab. This is something my family really likes for me to make. Also, from my traditional chinese food, i love to make a kale soup. They cut it to the size they really want. I am probably here once a week. Im very familiar with the aisles and they know everyone who is a cashier cashier here i know when people come into a market such as this, it looks like an asian supermarkets, which it is and sometimes it can be intimidating. We dont speak the language and many of the labels are in chinese, you may not know what to buy or if it is the proper ingredients for the recipe are trying to make. I do see a lot of people here with a recipe card or sometimes with a magazine and they are looking for specific items. The staff here is very helpful. I speak very little chinese here myself. Thinks that im not sure about, i asked the clerk his and i say is this what i need . Is this what i should be making . And they actually really helped me. They will bring me to the aisle and say this is battery. They are very knowledgeable. Very friendly. I think they are here to serve not only the Asian Community but to serve all communities in the Richmond District and in San Francisco. [ ] what is wonderful about living here is that even though our july is a very foggy and overcast, best neighborhood, the sleepy part outside on the west side is so rich with history, but also with all the amenities that are offered. I went through a lot of struggles in my life, and i am blessed to be part of this. I am familiar with what people are going through to relate and empathy and compassion to their struggle so they can see i came out of the struggle, it gives them hope to come up and do something positive. I am a community ambassador. We work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. What i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. They ask you questions, ask you directions, they might have a question about what services are available. Checking in, you guys. Wellness check. We walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive. You never know. Somebody might walk by and they are laying there for hours. You never know if they are alive. We let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they dont want to call the police on, they dont have to call the police. They can call us. We can direct them to the services they might need. We do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. There are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground. It is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. When we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311. They give us a tracking number and they come later on to pick it up. We take pride. When we come back later in the day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes you feel good about what you are doing. It makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. The stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. You can see the community ambassadors. I used to be on the streets. I didnt think i could become a community ambassador. It was too far out there for me to grab, you know. Doing this job makes me feel good. Because i came from where a lot of them are, homeless and on the street, i feel like i can give them hope because i was once there. I am not afraid to tell them i used to be here. I used to be like this, you know. I have compassion for people that are on the streets like the homeless and people that are caught up with their addiction because now, i feel like i can give them hope. It reminds you every day of where i used to be and where i am at now. We take a lot of pride in what we do. The electric shop covers all of waste water, so out of this location here, we cover everything from oceanside to southeast plant and all the computations including Treasure Island and yerba buena. We have all the preventative responsibility, maintaining maintenance and also keeping up with work orders from operations. I would say one of the things fortunately for me is the staff is incredibleably motivated. The staff here knows what to do, how to do the job safely, and it makes my job incredibly easy. They know the job, and they know the challenges, and i think its all about personal pride. They want to do a good job. From our Maintenance Group to our i. N. C. , dedication to the people. When theyre going home, and theyre crossing the bay bridge, and they get a call that theres a problem with a pump station on Treasure Island, they return to work. They turnaround in westbound traffic and get back to work and get this pump back in line, and i cant tell you how much that means to me as a boss and the city and county of San Francisco. As a group, if they didnt do what they do, the streets would be flooded with waste and gray water, and it could become a health hazard. We take a lot of pride in what we do, and we do the jobs right, and you walk away fulfilled that youve done the city a
