The neighborhood, making it a better place for people to walk and bike and live and shop but it does have a real impact on safety. We know vehicles traveling at 20 Miles Per Hour versus 35 Miles Per Hour are less likely to cause a severe injury when a collision takes place, so this is something we have through the Traffic Calming Program is really focused on looking at reducing speeds. We have other categories we improve visibility and other pedestrian and bicycle and safety improvements but this is really we thats the easy way to explain what traffic calming is about. Its making the cars drive more slowly so the ind kinds are collisions are less severe. The revision process that we have been going through for the past months is looking at two main things, the efficiency of the program and balancing the priorities of the program. The efficiency piece is what we explored last october and it was looking at what is in your current local residential traffic calming base program and looking
Colleagues, why dont we get roll call. First on roll call is supervisor cohen. Thank you very much. Im sorry, madam clerk. Can you rerefer me . I seem to have misplaced my notes. No problem, supervisor cohen. Supervisor farrell. Thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, today i have introduced a number of hearings related to the budget and finance committee. We are going to convene the fiveperson committee on march 6 and start our budget process. Were going to have budget updates from a number of the major departments as well as updates from the Controllers Office on their fiveyear financial plan. It plan and 10 year capital plan as well as our citys reserve and set aside policies. I think two ones of note that ill just call out. One calling for a hearing on the draft plan due out from the mayors Budget Office naming the it up gayedx for Emergency Personnel and Public Safety personnel. The technology that we deploy today is woefully inadequate and in dire need of replacement. As this board k
This prop k allocation supplemented from a target fund. The sfmta anticipates construction of all improvements will be completed in august 2014 and with that i can take any questions. I am aware of that sfmta managers are here as well. Commissioner campos. Thank you very much. I wanted to just ask a couple of questions. I think that these projects are very very important and i know that for a lot of neighborhoods, a lot of districts this is something thats going to improve the service. I was wondering if you could talk about the level of coordination between the two agencies, between the ta and the mta. One of the discussions we had in the past is making sure that we have as much coordination as we possibly can, and that there is as much efficiency as possible, and i am just wondering if you can talk about, and also if you can talk about whether or not you anticipate any cost overruns in any of these expenditures and completeod time . For all of the projects . Yes. I know they have coo
Calming. You will see a much Larger Program that encompasses all the changes before you and the next action item is for the fiscal year 20132014 and to solidify the policy items for today. I believe that is it for me. Thank you. Good morning mr. Chair and commissioners. Thank you so much for having me today. I am marian [inaudible] and with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and its an informational item but we are interested in your feedback because we will come back to recommendations which you have the opportunity to adopt ultimately in the five year in the next five year pyp. So first just to give you a little background about traffic calming. As was mentioned physical measures to reduce speedos our city streets. This has a benefit in livability in the neighborhood, making it a better place for people to walk and bike and live and shop but it does have a real impact on safety. We know vehicles traveling at 20 Miles Per Hour versus 35 Miles Per Hour are less likely to
Efficiency as possible, and i am just wondering if you can talk about, and also if you can talk about whether or not you anticipate any cost overruns in any of these expenditures and completeod time . For all of the projects . Yes. I know they have coordinated to some extent, obviously on the [inaudible] Fund Projects to insure funds are available at the time they are needed. In terms of cost overruns that is something that i suspect our colleagues at sfmta have to address but based on this the costs seem in alignment with costs we received previously so the expectation is that they should not occur. With that said i maybe we can hear from the interim executive director. Of course. Thank you. Thank you. Yes its a big question there. Im not used to seeing you here. So this is a good segue to an item later on the agenda and prepare for example the update of the prop k Strategic Plan and the five year Prioritization Program. Thats the first place for us to coordinate with the mta and the
