Might have impacted transit speeds, especially on mission. And we found that there seems to be improvement. However, the frequency that we monitor this is once every two years. And there are a lot of changes happening over those two years, especially with land use and population, in addition to transportation changes. So there are a bunch of factors that go into these changes. But we did find evidence that the lanes are improving transportation speeds of transit speeds on mission. Supervisor yee s that the percentage improvement any different from of different lines that didnt have the red sort of lanes . Most of the lines have just remained steady. Thats what our average speed shows. And improvement is always better than just being steady. Supervisor yee well, i mean, that would be really interesting to know, because were making investments in these lanes. And i assume that it will this study should show that its having some marked improvements in terms of the speed of the buses itsel

But more broadly i think this is if we can get as far ahead of this as possible, i think it will be hugely helpful, especially in light of what weve seen in light of the other large projects, central subway, van ness in particular to have a plan in place to have that outreach and to be able to because this is going on for years. So this and this is right in the heart, obviously core of our city. It couldnt be more important to get this right. But thank you for your work. Chair peskin thank you. Seeing no other questions from members, are there members of the public who would like to testify on this item . Please come up. If youd line up to your right, your left. First speaker, please.
