Legislation now interim to our Charter Amendment that allows or an appeal process on curb management and rightofway. I would encourage you to not approve this and go back to a Better Process and allow all the companies to apply and you still may end up with the same conclusion and that would be more defensible. Thank you, supervisor safai. Supervisor peskin. Thank you, madam chair. One over arching question while i have you on stationless and station bike share. Insofar as were put premium on the safety. One thing that occurs to me when i see this is none of these stationless or stationed facilities come with helmets. I know we want the bicycles to be safe but no one has a brain bucket that rides them and whats the response to that . In general, we encourage everyone to wear a helmet but the reality is its not required by law. Its a recommendation for your own personal safety and there are a lot of Public Benefits to bicycling regardless of whether youre wearing a helmet. We have Educational Programs around bike sharing and theres way to get helmets for free or lowcough dorn lowcost but the benefits of the bike sharing is something we saw as the public interest. The scuttlebutt is jump is to be purchased by uber. Do you know anything about that . I dont know anything about that. Everybody in Capital Society has the right to buy anything for sale so im not challenging that but i am to the extent that could happen worrying one mode share interest may sabotage another mode share interest in order to stifle other modes of transportation. So to the extent this is true or for that matter not true but could become true you may want to structure whatever permits you have whether its for jump or any other type of stationless or of that matter, stationed facility to make sure you dont end up with what big oil, Car Manufacturers and tire manufacturers did what was colluded to make sure everybody would buy cars and gasoline and tires by ripping out the system. So keep that in mind. The caveat emptor. Thank you, supervisor cohen. Im going to ask we move to Public Comment at this time. I have two cards but if theres any member of the public that would like to speak and hasnt filled out card and if theres anyone else that wants to speak feel free to speak after sam. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im sam joanin on behalf of wine bike in san mateo we serve 40 counties including washington, d. C. , seattle, dallas and many communities around the bay area such as almeida, walnut creak and South San Francisco and burlingame and would like to provide a comprehensive responsible and truly dockless bike sharing program. We submitted several application for regular pedal dockless bikes and electric assist pedal bike with the hope we can immediately Serve Community do not have and will not have access to bike sharing in the near future. We meet the requirements the sfmta put forth including providing property insurance, Testing Certifications and a willingness to share data which we already do in the 40plus communities in which we operate. We were also never notified of the electric bike requirement or preference for electric bikes even after asking multiple times. As a local company, we understand the unique environment that is San Francisco and the challenges that lie ahead for dockless bike sharing. We were commit to hiring locally and enacting a robust Outreach Campaign and would work with the community. Our bikes and operations are changing the way people are moving around. Wherein the last six months of 2017 we supported half a million users that have taken over a million trips over 40 of which started or ended at a mass transit showing they are being used to solve first and last Mile Transportation challenge and ready to support San Francisco the same way. On behalf of line bike i urge to you reconsider the process and move forward with the permit when youre mike cuts off it means your allotment of time is up. Three minutes, correct . Two minutes. Ill be brief. Theres a timer in front of. Im matt sheehan. Im just an interesting citizen and fourth generation in the bay and spent time in china as a journalist and saw the rise and fall there and since returning back ive been interested in the proliferation of bike share. In china i saw dockless and shareable and they had Something Like ford go bike and you move it from station to station and lock it up and it was okay. I probably used it three times in a year and after six months after that you saw the explosion of dockless bike share and it was the best thing that happened to transportation in the five years i was there. It changed the way you get around on Public Transportation and short distances it provided the last mile resolution that made Public Transportation the choice rather than hailing a cab and getting stuck in beijing traffic. Ive been a big fan of the dockless bike sharing and over the last year the streets have been flooded because a lot of money has rushed into that in china. Theres been clutter and blocked up some sidewalks and stuff like that. On balance its still a great thing but i think its a solvable problem through resolution. Simply limiting the number of bikes. Those three faces of docked bikes and dockless bikes and i think the middle phase is perfect. Dockless bikes that open up the city in a new way and regulated in terms of number. I think the number i heard of 250 for the city of jump bikes. Which is not enough. People need to be confident they can get a bike to resolve their problems. I hope the supervisors will get enough bikes on the street to make it useful without overcrowding. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Im from bay city bike rentals and parkway bike rentals. Im here representing the didnt. In 2011 we were strategically omitted in the establishment of a citycondoned bike share program. All we were promised is it was a transportation solution and we have come to the table to coexist with the motivate program. When the city got into a contact with motivate it didnt anticipate the new sponsor would be ford and when it got in the agreement with ford it didnt anticipate the new sponsor would be uber. Its time to create real protections for Small Businesses. You need to be mindful of the Small Business industry already exist before skrauquashing themh Big Technology in and it didnt want to get sigh sidelined with the tncs. Like the laws for formula retail, you can now legislate this and find a way to control the disruption of a Small Business market. You can bring us all to the table, bike share and bike rental and find a way for us to coexist fairly and preserve locally owned Small Businesses in the process. Thank you. Good afternoon. Blazing saddles bike hen rental. We have been told for years that the city condoned Bikeshare Program was a transportation solution. We wanted to coexist and it would not compete with Small Businesses and be a different product from recreation. A noncompete agreement was made between the port of San Francisco and go ford bike to keep the industry from being wiped out and the jump map excludes Fishermans Wharf suggesting they recognize the distinction between recreation and shortterm bike share. City sponsored bike share cannot be a transportation solution if its cannibalized by bike share and we in the bike rental industry have been meeting with motivate, supervisor peskin and his staff and the Mayors Office to ensure our Small Businesses will not be obliterated by the cityresponse cityresponseed sitesponsored citysponsored companies. All Bike Share Companies need clear guidelines. We need your help to differentiate to the public the difference between transportation and recreation product. Please continue helping us. Thank you. Im with a local bike company, San Francisco bike rentals. I dont have real organized prepar prepared comments but it may seem to those of us present i think the discussion was called because a brewing conflict between large actual billiondollar companies such as ofo, jump, slash, uber and ford. So here we are, the small bike rental industry. I just want to reer reiterate this agreements in place such as between the port of San Francisco and protect and honor a natural distinction between the bike rental and bike share market and ford is doing its best to honor and were meeting regularly to make sure its honored but nonetheless theyre trying to honor it and were hopeless introducing ourselves to this discussion how are we going to deal with uber, ford, ofo, how are we going to handle the needs of the bike share market. We think theres a natural distinction. It comes down to a longterm recreational transit option such as bike rental, two hoursplus and two hours under. Those are basic principles. We hope well be invite head to table and confident a fair solution can be reached for everyone here. Thank you. Im here on behalf of broader issues of coordination of mta technical implementation team. Beyond bike share i believe theres Quality Control and capacity. Its my understanding plans go from the lead planner like the lean forward plans to the mpa Engineering Committee reviewing a review by senior staff. This could have a Significant Impact on Quality Control and be the root cause of mta missteps and examples the mta has reconfigured the area for the third time. I urge the committee to conduct a hearing on Quality Control with mta checks and balances issues. On the issue of capacity, the chair of the Bond Oversight Committee asked staff if there was adequate capacity to manage the large new mexico of Capital Projects the agency is implementing concurrently. Though the response is yes, that could be question. The mta posted signs however they werent prominently post. People parked and when they came out the cars had been towed. This could be an cation indication of major issues. Thank you very much. Any other members of the public who wish to speak . Seeing Public Comment closed. All right so this hearing has been held. Our sponsor of the hearing has departed the hearing but i think our main point is we just wanted to ensure there was fairness and transparency in terms of the process in which the permits were issued around bike share especially the dockless or semidockless bike sharing. I was excite about the types of new bike sharing that would be rolled out in the city especially because with the current contract we have we found in the west side districts would not have seen bike share for years and years on out and i think many of our residents would like to see bike sharing out there just the same as those on the eastern side of the town. With that said i think we have gotten many questions answered here however, i think the korchks will still need to continue. Colleagues, do you have further questionses or comments on the hearing item . Okay. So supervisor cohen requested it be filed. Can we get a motion. Okay. All right. So well do that without objection the hearing is filed. Mr. Clerk are there any other items . The clerk that completes the agenda for today. Commissioner thank you, the meeting is adjourned. Youre watching quick bite, the show that has San Francisco. Were here at one of the many food centric districts of San Francisco, the 18th street corridor which locals have affectionately dubbed the castro. A cross between castro and gastronomic. The bakery, pizza, and dolores park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. Adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. Skylight market has been here since 1940. Its been in the family since 1964. His father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. At that point sam revamped the market. He installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. He created community through food. So, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where its comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. And we really feel that we wouldnt exist if it werent for all three of those components who really support each other. And thats kind of what we work towards every day. Valley creamery was opened in 2006. The two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sams wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. They found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. They realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. So, thats been a huge success. In 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process. 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. And we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more indepth conversation. We grew and now we offer i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher Training Workshop where San Francisco unified Public School teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. We range all over the place. We really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. A lot of organizations i think which say were going to teach cooking or were going to teach gardening, or were going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. We say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really Community Oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. We want to build community and were using food as a means to that end. We have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. Coming into 18 reasons which even more Community Focused is such a treat. We have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. People come in in groups, meet friends that they didnt even know they had before. Our whole set up is focused on communal table. You can sit across from someone and start a conversation. Were excited about that. I never worked in catering or food service before. Its been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. It is getting really popular. Shes a wonderful teacher and i think it is a Perfect Match for us. It is not about home cooking. Its really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook. I have always loved eating food. For me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. Ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. Classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. It always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. Empower their want to be around people and all the values and reasons the commitment, community and places, were offering a whole spectrum of offerings and other really wide range of places to show that good food is not only for wealthy people and they are super committed to accessibility and to giving people a glimpse of the beauty that really is available to all of us that sometimes we forget in our day to day running around. We have such a philosophical mission around bringing people together around food. Its so natural for me to come here. We want them to walk away feeling like they have the tools to make change in their lives. Whether that change is voting on an issue in a way that they will really confident about, or that change is how to understand why it is important to support our small farmers. Each class has a different purpose, but what we hope is that when people leave here they understand how to achieve that goal and feel that they have the resources necessary to do that.
