Is where we have those other facilities. I know that was a concern that the a. R. C. Had, i reiterated it at the joint hearing with the Arts Commission , and it is noticeably absent from your presentation. So i would like to have you add that back in so that we can fully understand. Right here on the right side, you will see how this is the loading zone, this is the middle of the image. [laughter] it shows how the bikeway bends. I think that is the only place it appears. I would find it useful to reintroduce your plans that you have had in the past because that pretty well shows in the tight bottleneck areas where ultimately the pedestrian zone is what gives because Everything Else is fixed. Correct. It is another way to imagine it. The street zone is between 4 feet and 10 feet wide, the pedestrian path, the main path of travel never is compromised, but it is that streetlight zone where the furnishings go, where the bike racks and the seating, et cetera. It goes between 4 feet wide and 10 feet wide to accommodate the shift in the bike lane. Okay. Great. The last question i have, when does the Clear Channel contract come to . For the bus shelters . I believe it is 2022, but they have a onetime extension that is a possibility for another five years. It could go until 2027. Okay, because we were able to influence that on the van ness within the civic centre Historic District, so i would like, i hope we have an opportunity to put it on that when it comes out thank you. Lets go ahead and open it up for Public Comment. Thank you. I really appreciate your presentation. Sorry, i will have a hard time saying these names. We have two speaker cards. Hello, i am a member of the Community Working group for better Market Street for the past for years. I also did the survey of the Market Street pavement area that was highlighted done by independently independent resource center. We didnt just walk along break, we also walked along other currently in place pavements like from Saint Patricks church at mission to Market Street and the pavement in front of the jewish museum. We tried several different. This is a rainy saturday, so thankfully it was raining really rainy and it was really slick, but what i need to point out is 90 of those who have a mobility disability do not use a wheelchair. The 90 use canes, crutches, walkers, braces, walking sticks. If for one of us a cane, a crutch, a brace foot slips out, we are down. So that is important to keep in mind about the safety aspects. We know some people want to keep the bricks, they are slippery when wet, they are unsafe, sometimes when delivery people drop something, some of the brick gets chipped off and you get a scalloped shape. There again, that is allowing for slipping out from under when you hit it the wrong way. Keep that in mind. People may want something because they know it, they like it, they remember it, but please dont put peoples wishes above the safety needs. I say not just people with disabilities, with think of young kids running along next to mom or grandma. They are also ones that could slip. I want to try and answer chair highlands question about dangers. There are conflicts where pedestrians come up in the middle of the street and street and generate the cause of an accident. They cross against the light. Is also problems against cyclists and pedestrians. There have been some deaths caused according to the d. A. s office, with a typical problem is exemplified by outbound Market Street bicyclists work. They go up the Market Street curb access ramp, go across the sidewalk, and then down the venice access right ramp. Rather than stay in the street, they cut across which means putting nicole or myself, we could be bumped, pushed back, we might fall on our bats, break a hip, break an ankle, the cyclist is gone. Keep that in mind for how you view safety issues, but there there was a kid who hit a bicycle in Golden Gate Park on the original separated bike lane the kid went up in the air. His mom took him to st. Marys so he didnt get in because those are ambulances and s. F. General. Keep that in mind. There are people who are getting hit. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners i am the Senior Community organizer of the San Francisco bicycle coalition. Im also the vice chair of the better Market StreetCommunity Working group. Im here to speak on behalf of our 10,000 plus members in support of the better Market Street project, which will create a safe place for people walking, biking on Market Street where currently there is few. Hundreds of thousands of people ride buses, trains, and bikes on or below Market Street daily. It is the backbone of San Franciscos transportation street. It is also one of the most dangerous streets in San Francisco for people biking and people walking. So to put a little bit of color to the statistics, just this past month, we have had two vehicle pedestrian fatalities that fifth and market. That gives you all an idea of the crisis that we are facing on Market Street. People are getting hit and killed on a weekly basis. So we cant compromise on the central safety, as well as accessibility rules of the project by being overly prescriptive about surface design elements. We need a bike lane that is visible, intuitive, that meanders here and there to maintain continuity between art portals, elevators, loading zones, we can to minimize or hide to the bike lane. It needs to be visible for people writing as well as people walking on the streets. It is really important. We also need to consider implementation. And asphalt lane would be slightly cheaper and quicker to get in the ground, not to mention more comfortable to ride on. Pavers can be a little bit jarring for people writing whereas asphalt, if it is smooth and it is a relatively comfortable ride. With regards to the pedestrian rightofway, as we have heard, the brick sidewalks have been an impediment to Market Street being accessible to all. We cant trade accessibility and safety for ecstatic concerns here. We need to hold onto the main goals of the project and not go against them. Preserving surface elements is shortsighted and would be a disservice to Market Streets future users. So ultimately the best way to preserve the legacy is to reimagine it. Now we have no bicycle facilities. It is an embarrassment to San Francisco. Thousands of writers at peak hour and there is nothing in the lurch with buses, and drivers, and people are dying because of it. Thank you for your support for the project as proposed and for allowing some concessions for Historic Preservation to push safety and accessibility. Thank you. Any other member of the public wishes to speak . Step up. Good afternoon, commissioners i am here representing walk San Francisco. Walk s. F. Is the only pedestrian Advocacy Organization in San Francisco with the goals of ending pedestrian deaths and serious injuries on our streets as well as improving our street and sidewalk so that more People Choose to walk every day. Im here to express walk s. F. s position on the better Market Street project in the near for clear separation between the sidewalk and the protected bike lane based on safety needs. Market street is a place where half a Million People walk every single day, and yet it is one of our most dangerous streets. Collision reports show us the fifth and market intersection is the most dangerous intersection in our city, and just a few weeks ago, a 79yearold woman lost her life at that intersection. Because the data shows that people are being hit and killed along Market Street, we need to do something to change these unnecessary tragedies from continuing to occur. The better Market Street plan, with its improved intersections and sidewalk level bike lanes, will make the streets safer. Our interest is keeping people safe, especially on the sidewalk , and this is why we supports the sidewalk level bike lane, and believes that the different materials including the delineator between the sidewalk and the bike lane are necessary. That Material Selection is a calculated choice for safety, whether it is that of a bicycle rider or a person with disabilities. Month ago we went to observe the studies to test the materials with a blind person, and it was fascinating to watch. The different material types make an incredible difference, and the information and the information that a seeing impaired person is able to comprehend. This is the type of the Research Type of research that they are conducting and we are supportive of these measures. We hope that you will be, too thank you. Thank you. Any other member of the public wishes to address this item . Commissioners, i spoke with you earlier. We were looking backwards, now we are looking forwards. I chair the better Market Street citizens working group. We have heard from a couple of members already. We have members who are from the disability community, from building owners and managers association, walk San Francisco, transferred riders coalition, Bike Coalition from the hotels, the new residential buildings, business owners, the c. B. D. S, all of the stakeholders that we can find which are involved, roughly 24 members. What we are trying to do is revitalize an historic corridor and bring it into the 21st century. This actually has the same use as it had in 1847 when it was first laid out from the Ferry Building to twin peaks, which is why it was a straight angle. It is possible that the horses that were using Market Street at that time are today replaced by electric scooters. [laughter] but the concept is the same, and everything you have heard up until now on this hearing is to just do that, to bring it into the 21st century. It is going to change again. Our predecessors in this room and on the podium are going to hear this, maybe 40 or 50 years from now, and there will be more changes, but again, the concept doesnt change, so i hope we have your support on this. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . We will close Public Comment and bring it back to the commission. Commissioners . Commissioner pearlman . All i can say is geez, it is, you know, an incredibly vast amount of information, and i really honor all of those who have been involved and their commitment to doing this. It is really startlingly complex , and in reference to mr. Miguew long it has been this way, many of you have seen the 1906 film going up Market Street, and it is just chaos. Theres cars that are new at the time and they are zooming across , there are people walking in the streets and theres trolleys, and theres bicycles, theres everything. This is clearly not a very new problem that we are addressing here. I just want to thank everybody. I think that the Overall Concept and design, im not a big fan of the bricks anyway, so losing them is not something that i regret. Also we have had a lot of discussion about the passive gold light standards, and i think weve come to the agreement with the design that has been proposed, so from that point of view, that is one of the few pieces that is, you know , it is a landmark on the street, it is one of the few pieces that we really had some discussion of, some say over. I think for the rest of it, it is out of our wheelhouse, and i think the work that is being done is fantastic. I heartily support the direction that it is going. Thank you. Commissioner johns . Will there be some allowance made for the samuels clock . Yes. It will remain. All of the landmarks and historic features like that will remain. How you view the bricks on Market Street is, i think, a function of age. If i am correct, they were installed after art was put in. I consider them, at that time, to be any fishes interloper. [laughter] the bricks were the wrong kind, they were always too soft, so as far as from a preservation point of view, i dont think the bricks were ever legitimate. They were somebodys attempt to improve it, and i think it was bad. I am very happy to go back to cement or this, although, i just observed personally, i think it is going to make it a rather sinister street with all of this black and grey. It will just be dark, and i think not appealing, but it will hide the dirt. [laughter] i have a couple comments. I continue to be concerned about the zigzag and it is not my expertise, but im concerned that our pedestrian zone is being narrowed and that the transit zone is getting widened, and i think that even as it is now, the bicycle transit that happens on Market Street is incredibly fast, so now we will have a very fastmoving vehicle between the buses and the pedestrians, so i have great concern on that. I do like the paving. I really like the treatment of the paving and the granite when the intersections come together, that is a really nice detail, and we will have, i believe another opportunity to review the alignment of the path of gold lights, because i believe there will be something then he skipped finalized with us. Okay. Anything else . Thank you as commissioner pearlman said. This is an amazing amount of work. Thank you. Dont forget these. [laughter] they will place is on items nine a through d.
