Last night . The committee would like to acknowledge the staff of as of geo tv who record and make this available to public online. You have any announcements . Members of the public are asked to silent or turn off their cell phones. Public comment will be taking place after each item and speakers will have two minutes each. Before i call the first item, i want to take a moment to recognize that we have had, unfortunately, 18 fatalities found in San Francisco this year on the streets. This is heartbreaking. Considering last year we were on the right track, and at this time last year the number of fatalities was six. What we are seeing, three times as many this year. I have said this before, were not just talking about crosswalks and so forth. Vision zero is about the safety of people. Many of our people are not safe, at this point, especially seeing a High Percentage of grandmothers being killed on our streets, and children and young people. This is not just a crisis in San Francisco. Although we have made some strides in the city. Pedestrian death in the us is now the highest in 30 years. We still hold to be an example, i would say this year we might not make that. Across country, pedestrians on the rise jumping from more than 4000 in 2009, to nearly 6000 in 2017. Im looking forward to todays presentations. I want to look more at reducing the severe net severe injuries which have not gone down and remained at more than, i can see the number, but a lot in the last three years. Injuries are people, sometimes we dont remember that. The we talk about the deaths all the time. But there is actually a lot of people that are severely injured that we do not talk about. When they have the severe injuries, that also changes their lives. I just want to keep saying that every time i can. Okay, so, lets move on. Mr. Claire, please call the first item. [reading items] okay. This is action item, do i need a motion for this . Yes. Can i have a motion to accept the minutes of . Moved by commissioner mandel men and seconded by commissioner stefani. With no objection, the motion passes. Okay, item number three . [reading items] i am sorry. Lets resend that last vote because i only called for two. Can i have a motion to approve the Consent Agenda . No objection, than the motion passes. Lets go to our regular meeting, item number four. [reading items] hi. Good afternoon commissioners. I am the senior state and federal legislative analyst at . And. Im here to give you an update on vision zero related actions happening in sacramento. A walk shop that we would do in sacrament of her legislative bath this week. Third i will go through some individual legislative items directly related to vision zero. The first thing i want to talk about is the zero fatalities traffic task force. Related to Speed Enforcement and local control speed limit settings. The state realizes that there is a need to create a Stakeholder Group to come together to think about speed management issues, handsomely. Rather than these oneoff legislative proposals that were not making their way through. In order to do this, the zero Traffic Fatalities Task force reducing traffic fatalities to zero. San francisco is well represented on this task force. Trans sevens director of affairs is sitting on the board. Other members include local and State Government representatives, chp, Public Health officials, it is a wide variety of folks interested in these topics. The very first meeting was held this past tuesday. It included an overview of the states priorities on speed management as well as Breakout Sessions for everybody to come together i really start to dig into some of these issues. The task force will have three additional meetings this year. Intended to inform legislative proposals in the 2020 legislative session. This is where we plan to see a lot of discussion of our transformative policy agenda including Speed Enforcement and local control speed limit settings to be discussed and hopefully be in a legislative proposal for next year. After talking to kate about her experience, she said she was hopeful this could advance San Franciscos agenda up in sacramento. We will continue to keep you guys apprised of what happens with this task force in advance of next year. When did you say the recommendations from the task force the task force will have four meetings over the next six month with a final report due out in december 2019. That will include policy recommendations for legislative proposals for the 2020 session. Got it. Okay. At that point, i assume you will be coming back to report on that . Yes, definitely. Great. Any indication about the automated Speed Enforcement . It is nothing no clear direction. As part of the conversation and speed management umbrella of issues that they are looking at. Have you spoken to people who might have suggested ways for us to help out along . Committee members . Or anyone else . Yeah, i think this sounds like this first meeting, everybody in the room, lets figure out, lets talk, lets get to know each other. Once the Advisory Committee comes into that can help lend more voices to the table. I think we will keep you updated. Okay. Any questions . Okay. Thank you. Wait. Sorry. That was just the first part. The second part i just wanted to mention the Task Force Working to continue to educate legislative staff in sacramento. Our group of the seven largest big city departments of transportation will be holding a vision zero walking tour in sacramento tomorrow for legislative staff. The idea for that is to make sure when legislative staff conserves visions, they have a more personal contact should i can understand. We are excited about that. Do you think there will be a lot of legislators . Probably not legislators because it is a friday. We have at least 30 legislative staff which is pretty good. We held a similar event regarding mobility in february, we had a lot of staff attend. A lot of them followed up throughout the session to ask us questions about legislation. Its a great way for us to continue to build those relationships. The last thing i want to do, if i can turn to my slide. I just wanted to highlight the legislation that has been making its way through this session. As you may or may not know, its a really busy time in sacramento. We are really in the thick of it. Some bills have artie seen fhm will not be moving forward. Other ones have a july 12 deadline to pass out of the next policy committee for the same reason. The first bill i want to talk about is ab 47, which is a bill that would have made violations of driving with a cell phone subject to one point on a drivers record. We know distracted driving is an extremely dangerous behavior. We see it all the time. We have great Education Outreach Program about this as well. That was the original intent of the bill. The Committee Hearings have been amended a bit. Now would only make a second violation that occurs within 36 months of the first violation subject to one point. It gives little more leniency to the original proposal. We did support tran30, and we are not taking commission going for because of the changes. The next bill is sb 127 that is from our very own sen. Weiner. Requiring caltrans to add features to have safety and accessibility to folks walking, biking and taking transit when they repave or do upgrades on state roads that function as local roads. Such as as [inaudible] we know the state has different priorities than we do locally. We really want to make sure that there is not a huge discrepancy on the state really follows our lead and design when working on roads that are in the middle of our city. We support that bill. It is making its way through the assembly right now. The third bill is ab 1112. This is a bill sponsored by Assembly Member friedman that would have limited the regulations that local authorities will be able to place on shared mobility devices including scooters and bike share. For San Francisco, it would have included our lock to devices, parking guidelines and our equity in low income programs. It would have limited some of the data we were able to collect to help enforce our program. Due to strong opposition from cities, i know San Francisco worked on this a lot, and a lot of the safety advocates, the bill was turned into a twoyear bill so it would not be moving forward the session which we are really excited about, because we have a very Robust Program in place right now that we are, you know, in the midst of evaluating and making sure it is working correctly and we want to maintain that authority. The next bill is 8713 ab 1713 lowering the blood alcohol comment content. Several states have considered this, but utah is the only one that has been successful in passing this legislation through. There tends to be strong opposition from this bill was never even heard in the first policy committee this year. It was decided it would not move forward a while ago. I want to keep it on the agenda to know that it is happening in sacramento. The last one i want to mention is sb 152 which is from it would have made changes to the active Transportation Program which funds improvements across the state. The bay area has been pretty unsuccessful in this program over the last cycle. We felt that the changes proposed in this that were sponsored by mtc would have allowed us to be more competitive for the funding. However the bill did face strong upper dish opposition over the past two cycles. That is my legislative update. Im happy to take any questions. Any questions . No. Well, i am certain what is going on there looks like what i would love. I am glad some of these are moving forward and i hope they never come back again. [laughter] thank you very much for your report. I should take Public Comments on this. Any Public Comments on this item number four . Talking about fatalities. He just broke a record last month pertaining to drug overdoses, pertaining to this drug called fentanyl. That is a very important issue to be recognized just as much as the fatalities pertaining to pedestrians being hit by automobiles on buses, at any other type of vehicles. A lot of these overdoses are taking place in the facilities of the Transportation System pertaining to muni and also the bart system. I think information should be shared on those types of problems along with the fatalities. All of them is causing death and they are in the same general location. Im going to start pushing for moves to address the addictions of drugs that is being used two facilities of bart, and the facilities of muni, throughout the subway system and you talk about Apartment Building complexes that is being built are proposed by weiner in the areas of the bart locations. I am going to be pushing for low Income Housing in those areas, and Rehabilitation Centers in the buildings themselves in order to clean up the addiction abuse that is being used in the bart system. I was speak to you lady about that. I want to see some burns issued, the way they are being issued to city college in order to have free College First ordinance, i want to point out ive seen a lot of discrepancies in that. The chancellor there, he is making false statements. Hes already 32 million in debt, and he is presenting proposals, and acting like hes creating a positive cash flow when the truth of the matter is hes actually increasing the negative cash flow that yorty have in your hands. Im going to be putting strong emphasis on that fact, too. I want a low income people to get treated just like the high income bracket people. Now closed area thank you. I just said thank you. Dont worry. Thank you for your update and keep us informed. We can move on. In my mad rush to make this meeting shorter than last nights, i had to go back and resend the vote again because i needed to read correct the actions. Can i do the vote for two and three . With no objections it is now moved. Let me have motions for approving the minute. If no objection, Public Comment . Is there any Public Comments on the minutes . On the minutes . Okay. The motion passes. Call item number three, please. [reading items] thank you. I dont have a presentation. I believe you have the item in your packet. If you have any questions im happy to answer any of those you might have. Can you go through the highlights . Absolutely. Overall we did a fairly good job of meeting the goals of the prior Action Strategies which im trying to make sure i do not confuse i believe it went from 2,0172018 because we are currently in the year 2019. And, we did fairly well, i think we got some fairly valid criticism about the strategy overall. It didnt take us to the meaningful places that we needed to go in order to achieve vision zero which is something we are responsive to through the current Action Strategy currently in place. Just looking back over our shoulder, the most important goal we set was the 13 miles of improvements for safeties on vision zero corridor. That was a huge emphasis change from doing projects everywhere across the city to spending our time and our dollars on the high Injury Network. We consistently met the 13 miles per year goal on the Injury Network until last year. Only in 2018 we did not meet the goal but we had exceeded the goal consistently every prior year. In total over 70 miles of improvement on it citywide. We really advance a lot of policies including interval policies, crosswalk upgrade policies. New productive bike lanes all happened in the last two years in those two years in addition to advancing quick bills which is something we are now going to hear a presentation about. The first quick bill project we built in 2017 and 2018. I think modeled the kind of work we want to see moving forward and expanding. We did a great bicycle Collision Analysis which immediately lent itself to a project on valencia. If you look at our bicycle collisions you see them predominantly on valencia street. Even though the city spent a specific amount of time and money on valencia street. That analysis muc immediately sent us back. Nuc the results of that analysis today. Protected by facilities with a new project coming on the southern portion. We are thankful for the support of the supervisors on those projects. It just shows you how a little bit of Data Analysis goes a long way. I have a question on that. I will talk for days on how great we are doing. I guess the data is showing it has improved, did you just say that . Data has shown that it has improved . Only did the bicycle Collision Analysis, though we had done significant work on valencia street we were seeing new and increased collisions all over valencia. Specifically on both sides were bicyclist. Both from the left and the right, that is really related to the drop off and pick ups. It lent itself to an immediate new project that we have since built. I do interact with that road a little bit. I was just curious whether its just me or maybe other people have expressed one block from Market Street going south, or when we get to do both. I usually make a turn in their, and always worrying about the bike lane where i cant really see them. They are traveling really fast, by the time i could see anything, cars are parked in between the driving lane and the bike lane. So, when i tried to merge where i can turn, its okay if bicyclists are going regular speed, there really people that can go real fast. I might not see them coming down. We anticipated and its actually consistent. What we are doing is putting in a protected bicycle signal specifically so we separate the right turn that you are trying to make from cycle is going southbound. Signal work takes longer. We are trying to get that posted as fast as possible. In the coming months you will see a signal change which fully separates the cyclists from the cars. Come and give us feedback. It wasnt just me . No, it was everybody. I want to skim quickly, we have since naturally changed our School Program based on the feedback from this committee we were successful with prior efforts. We do have a revamp program in addition we launched the safe routes for Seniors Program which i think has been well met. We will hear more about that today. We had a line items for families for safe streets and we have been finding that program and will continue to fund that program. That was something that did not exist prior to this years Action Strategy. We linked Hospital Data to police data in the to your timeline. Weve started working with fleet managers in the city and providing fleet training to all city vehicle drivers. I just want to highlight the things that to present today. As well as severe injuries, thank you commissioner for your comments. Severe injuries are really critical focus of vision zero and we look forward to sharing our findings today. All of these analyses are possible because of our collaboration between the Health Department and the zuckerberg San FranciscoGeneral Hospital. We work under the Vision Zero Research collaborative of backgrounds and expertise. With respect to emerging mobility, we have been working to create a standardized methodology to monitor injuries related to new modes
