Sfmta. Im also joined this afternoon by brian who is our Senior Engineer for traffic routing and for sfmtas single streets division, also our Communications Division director candy sue is also here available to answer questions that you might have. Wed just like to take a few moments and provide some sfmta context if we could. First of all, we want the committee to know that sfmta recognizes and takes extremely seriously the importance of Inter Agency Coordination to reduce construction impacts on our traveling public, and San Francisco communities. As it relates to our division, capital programs and construction we call cpmc deliver capital mta plan revolves around four basic categories of work. Shown on this slide, they include system Safety Security project, system expansion, state of good repair. Of thea category projects, the one that requires probably the most coordination and interface with our city Family Partners is probably state of good repair. These are projects like our ma
The followup paving program . Let me see if someone here knows more. Supervisors, john thomas, project manager with public works. To the point of the followup paving, serum as youre aware within the bond program, we had a number of follow the paving projects, about 54 of them which were incorporated and utilized a portion, about 7 million of the 50 million available for streetscape improvements throughout the city. In addition, theres been some funding found by the board for various location build outs as they are determined. The process has been spearheaded both by the mta and public works to identify key locations where build out are necessary or best improvements in those locations. Of course, were looking at the walk first element. Do you think as the process improved my understanding was early objectedv when the Road Resurfacing Program was moving forward that dpw was sort of moving faster than mta and that was one of the challenges that there were times when ctw, to its credit, w
Only notification often that the public does receive for projects that are in duration of 14 days or less. So, what happens is that the contractor, you know, by code is required to place the signs just as the notification, but sometimes something comes up where they dont theyre not they cant start on that day. You know, its inclement weather, maybe there is something they didnt mobilize all their equipment in a timely manner. They have to mobilize their equipment to another emergency job. But thats what does happen and thats what we do in order to try to mitigate or, you know, reduce the construction concerns that the public does have. Thank you. Okay. Do you want me to continue on . Please. So, where are we . Next page. This is a list of example of coordinated projects. Code cop and other city agencies engage together to create these coordination projects. So, its important to note even when projects are joined or coordinated, the order is linear and therefore it can have the feel of
Abuse, and homeless and sros and other places. And when i am in that area, and i am driving by or catching a bus down in that area, there is never a time that i dont see, a lot of the folks that are out there, that i dont know. That are not my friends that i dont say hey and wave and so on and so forth and in many instances i interact with those, i need a job, i need support, what can i do . Well the job one stop, in the western edition, community is not just for the western edition, community, it is for anyone who is a san franciscan, who is looking for an employment opportunity, and i am out there, on the corners, and pushing people, to show up for these opportunities, and we have through the eoc and townsend and his work and getting the people the Job Opportunities who basically decide, you know what .

Technologies. And i think its a disservice to Small Business. I think its a disservice to innovation because it says, oh, another innovation, another opportunity to tax. And taxation, fear of taxation should not be an impediment to innovation. And fear of taxation should not be an impediment to making our businesses more efficient so that we can deal with things like rising minimum wages, rising real estate prices and increases in other taxes that are perhaps more legit. And, so, and it gives rise to a government that when it starts employing people to go out and see if people are violating these ridiculous things, right, rather than focusing on the major tax he that we already have and kind of accept the taxes we should be charging. So, you know, i think that simply taxing something that looks at a database and reports a price is an absurd thing when theres weights and measures and things like that involved, maybe its more certainly there might be a certification. If there is a certif
