And nobody gets out of a car going thirty mileperhour to windows hop when there are plaza and walk and get out and bike and take transit people will more likely to get off their bike to walk by a store and it benefits the blood alcohol merchants for me who works and lives in the area this is stealing he needed from an emergency situation from the times ive almost been hit almost every single i walk through the area. Thank you. Last person to turn in a speaker card mary maguire. Here we are i see your diagram now weve lost another kind of kind of bike stands we lost anothers cabstands give us a cab stands at the ball park between townsend and king on both sides so we can gets 0 in and out of there what are we supposed to side if we cant say make a lefthand turn go to Market Street if someone to pick up on Second Street how are we going to get them anywhere its on a right turn on Market Street i mean this is nice but then once again, why not eliminate all cars on Market Street and put commercial cars i dont know what what floating is why on castro is a constant traffic jam nobody needs to park on it block a commercial zone on fulsome street maine i go to work on eight street you have to reinforce those a huge bike lane on Fourth Street ive seen people on the lefthand side ive mentioned the bike lane is on the one side how many minutes have you a huge lane why holdings up traffic it takes me to get to work sometimes an hour from rincon hill to the cab company and it takes 10 minutes to get home fulsome street is is a mess trying to get to the bay bridge you need to think this thing through better so thank you. Members of board. Director heinecke. I have two questions ill direct to director reiskin if i could give us an anticipation of cars on Second Street quietly go i assume some anticipation of car reductions bus Second Street crease other options or frustrated by traffic and not drive a summary and the second question which maybe my discussion provoking question the way i look at this plan as implemented that street will be essentially undriveable allergy anyone in a private available youll have a single lane of traffic in either directions at times subject to people making turns although the turn pockets will back up but more importantly a single lane of traffic with traffic lights and when busses stopped at their stops will block because one lane of traffic in each direction it is sounds Market Street why would anyone drive on this street i wonder why not take it the next level and do with Second Street like Market Street it is transit and taxis only free up that street for that sorts of vehicle traffic i think you solve the ball park if you have a dedicated taxi lane running flet south with with the subway train im sure someone thought about that i know we cant do this today given the Environmental Impact but to me it strikes me we should be longterm planning and to one of the Public Commenters if we create a northsouth version of a transit only red carpet street that will, something that julie and her staff this should be considering if were going to have a more transit friendly northsou northsouth artistry want to put more traffic those are big picture questions youll probably wishing i didnt ask them but to me this proposal i appreciate the first step but i have an interesting reaction to it i have a reaction to you all can just it is two midly we leave the street and put in pedestrian or we go all the way but to me this proposal is going to make private car traffic untenable. We look forward and welcome comments from the boards iask christina and julie we didnt do angle analysis for a car free street the combarng between market market if have park it not a pattern for people were accustomed to and building to accommodate people pulling up to park so i think this is a little bit different than market many, many streets more of them north of market that are essentially gone lane in each direction for transit i think in terms of it being you can essentially a transit you know high quality transit facility the improvements will help transit but it is one lane in each direction interest will be plenty of people that be assessing Second Street and in their car it will be less attractive as a freeway approach but lots of businesses with small shops that folks will be coming by many memos to come back by so im not sure it is going to be a street that will accommodates a whole lot more muni volume the muni staff as a parts of planning and the Services Staff it did benefit from a lot of different input but the main issue of Second Street is a 2 flats a street in that part of town if youre on a bike that really works from the embarcadero to the etc. Is the next and 5th center the to the west so as many hayne said a matter of trade offs for prioritizing the streets for not good alternatives from deriving from muni pained wlanz on third street that is a major corridor other alternatives for different modes we didnt study car free version of the plan something that is implemented we evaluate what the auto use is fill parking elimination will be problematic for folks and in terms of where the cars go christine r a or ellen can talk about that as part of the Environmental Impact for the project. Christina if public works so to answer your questions as we all know street street not a direct route a lot of people uses it for a orientals but a big part of Second Street the revitalizing the streets for people w that live and work there and not an alternative route as director reiskin said one of the twoway streets in selma and as such we know that is a critical route for taxis to eye Second Street to and from and want to shift the vision of Second Street to leave it on for people trying to get to the Small Businesses around the Grilled Cheese company and hensleys spirits and the nail salon industries after south park but drive outside of the area so as far as what are other routes ive pulled up the map of selma the Environmental Impact studied 29 sgshgsz between market and king, first to third and we looks at 5th and bryant as one of the freeway on ramps so the additional routes it is articulating battery to first montgomery to new montgomery if youre on new montgomery make the resistance on howard, make the left on hawthorne and have the choice of fulsome or harrison if you are on Second Street southbound you would have to take howard to get to full name or harrison. I guess i said there are other ways to go really the balance there are currently a lot of cars on Second Street where will they go those routes youve described are in my experience are at cabinet. There are 11 intersections that have prestige level impacts 3 of them were able to be myth at southbound and harrison to provide a lefthand turn from lefthand turn all the time to take up the capacity and working with the waterfront to look at the improvements only beale and other streets on embarcadero to take some ever that need that demand. Understood. Well, i guess this remains something of an issue we should be discussing this is a major change in the way our city is moving our citizens around i certainly understand the need if not 92 just a unique corridors for bikes but if you walk up and down youll see how many people will be living there in the future triple or quadruple judging but the cranes making the north south route decision and the ideas of a transit or enhanced transit lane i understand kantsz do that today not just muni but taxi or hof lane those are things in our disposal my fear were going to have a calculated Second Street claw for the cars that made a bad decision and clog for the taxis im a little bit concerned about this proposal it is too much in the middle i think we should watch 19it im prepared to support it today but it is with some trepidation well have quick reluctance once it go in mines a timeline for implementation not very long; right . Something we can do quickly. So the; correct contradiction will be at the end of 2016 and done by the middle of 2017. Corecordings to the subway by the way, maybe that will help alleviate. The creation of resistant pockets and the lefthand turn opportunities should help the traffic flow along second there will be congestion effects off of second but you know part of those designs was meant to keep the traffic and trachea flowing on Second Street. With respect to the taxi will it be two hours housing. Whats before you is leging fulltime. Ill stop i realize ive mop listed this director reiskin youll not count on me for being precedence but ill urge a second look at after a ball game and vegetation that are a lot of times were using the corridors off traffic peak times if they cant make a left it will lead to larger microfilms money for passengers. The importance of Second Street it has a lot of smallscale businesses that a lot more local like Grilled Cheese and not fancy places people go theyre 31 they have deliveries and people that get there sometimes by car and the majorities of their Customer Base it is for this street a place for people nostril pga through all studies have shown people that are consulting not our customers but people driving in that area because they want to be there so to insure people know this is under those circumstances not assess to the freeway and verbiage most people and peak hours are like on a daily basis the ones that discovered it the first and hopefully not make that mistake again and making sure that people i guess the only concern when the bus stops and making sure that we enforce the cars are not trying to go around the busy buses that stopped observing happens in corridors otherwise a great project Second Street is basically deadends in two spaces right king and embarcadero and Market Street has a ability to an calm down street friendliness and bike lanes i think this is a great approach and objective in the beginning in short will be absent more challenging in the beginning but once people get used to the patterns of what at the could and couldnt do it gets better of modifying on behalf of. Im excited to support this this is not my neighborhoods but looking forward to another safeway to get through downtowns i have concerns that were previously voices i want to look at the taxi exemptions but approving it as it is now not prevent us from looking at it again thats all i have. Thank you director heinecke for making me seem lake the mediator voice we can do something in the future if if it proves important awe applicable i know weve been hearing from a lot of people about masonic street if you can talk about what are we doing differently or lessons weve learned to apply to them this to keep us on schedule the. From our citizens i share is one of i am patience and as quickly as possible if we could talk about the timeline and how to keep it forward. One of our advantages on Second Street of onehalf been an Environmental Impact for the past two years been cooperating with the other departments the public works and the mta so we have the project well independence the water and sewer the place will be repaved and as director borden said it ends at both ends up in a sense that is a little bit easier to deliver and federally funds weve be submitting our construction package to caltrain for approval in september theyll need to review it thats why we have a gap under our schedule and finish destine this winter and advertise but from a lot of projects like Caesar Chavez escape to complete a section or segment of the street before we demobilize and move on to streamlining from design to advertising and work hard the contract and trying to streamline construction as well. Is that just to go back to this ma song were hearing about that the masonic starts with the full board merging in dealing with outlet city agrees and improvements on timeline and delivery of projects and he guess i just want the public to have that confidence this project is more likely to stay on the timeline or being a city and dealing with city agencies yes something can always come up but to get us to the level of confidence. The schedule will stay as is weve been working on the project for several years were at the tail ends and finishing the design and build it we have a lot of support if the communities and businesses not everybody is hundred percent confident that it has everything that everyone worksheets we have a lot of support Going Forward with the implementation of the project. Thank you. Thank you, chairman nolan my compliments to the staff sounds like a lot of hard work i couldnt be more excited about this i did looks like youve done a lot of thinking i appreciate supervisor kim for sending her staff and expressing her support ive clearly seen her out there and understand how urgent of a need there is more projects like this in the city as someone who goes and uses this corridor to get better from the ball park to the train station on a bike it is down right terrifying to ride a bike anywhere in south of market but this is the place to do it i would love to travel in the transmitted lanes everywhere at some point we should revisit this and it i feel that we need to do something soon i mean lives dont think it literally and great step forward to minimize the traffic and address the traffic issues ill really encourage folks to consider how signage works to direct people do or into the best way to get to the freeway ive seen the signs to direct people to the freeway of a round about way people will get hip to it ever it is blocks away it is tremendously hopefully for people that are out of town that follows the flow of traffic and might ends up stuck i strongly encourage you folks to look at how to augment the mitigations by looking at the signage for a more a better route for all of us for them to be assessing the freeway signages is critical i think this is all i have to say ill be obviously supporting the project and again want to oh, yeah last thing i appreciate looking at the taxis i i resent people make accusations we hate taxis were having a juggle a lot of balls and taxis are important thank you all very much. I will be supportive i appreciate all the Public Outreach and Community Groups that came forward and the businesses and all of that i too burglary be interested in seeing the lefthand turn and the cab stand is there any way to replace that someplace and open to that as we get more and more information is under a motion. Motion to approve. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . In the is have it thank you staffer great job. 12 prosecution for the transit economic study no people that have expressed an interest in addressing on this matter. This is the meat. That matters. Weve waited all day this. For this. Good afternoon decorations were excited to bring you this information we as a city have looked the delay in a negative side of transit not actually tried to quantify the added value in the system whether or not i cant great system that brings the city this is our first attempt to have the dialogue and discussion so increase in Strategy Plan youve approved under goal that the improve the quality of life in San Francisco and objective 3. 2 to increase the impact to the economy before we need to know that we need the bottom line this effort to study the baseline we hired. Consulting firm economic Planning System one the premium planning groups in the area to assist us in this effort so i have jason moody a exfoliate that works on this ill pass it over to him and were both here to answer questions. Good afternoon mr. Moody. Thank you. Im jason with the economics and planning wear a Real Estate Consulting firm with offices in oakland and sacramento and los angeles to build on what was said the person of this analysis to look at transportation in a really big picture from a return on investment or cost benefit flafls to look at Muni Services it is kind of a surprisingly kind of par. Com transportation is looking at more and more those on the from the forehead level comparing the benefits to the costs the traditional formula for funding transportation in this study is in that vain vein of trying to look at the investments, if you will, be using a metrics in a field that is willing the metrics are Getting Better estimating the benefits and comparing the costs this is straightforward but the stems are a little bit more tricky next slide, please. In addition there is obviously the local context the city transportation infrastructure and the growth in the city that is pitting constraints this is a projection of growth weve experienced a lot of growth in San Francisco in the last 5 or 10 years that will continue population growing 40 percent by 2040 and employment growing next slide, please. Obviously going to put more and more pressure on transit and transportation infrastructure in general and obviously automobiles are not going to be able to solve that problem and basically the rightofway and the capacity of the streets is already at capacity there muni is critical for meeting those targets thats a big picture context in terms of the methodology i alluded to it is anyone tigers benefits and comparing them with cost and doing a cost benefit analysis you have the reports i think the detailed report part of the packet with the Detailed Analysis the calculations are transparency and we vetted the numbers and the model a
