Their own planner and engineer, so we know who to talk to and be responsible for doing things in our neighborhood. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is jodie maderas. Im here with a message from our members and some of them youll hear today. The message is thank you, thank you for pushing the sfmta staff to do more, faster, quicker, else on our most dangerous streets in asking the right questions. Dont stop pushing. We are counting on all of you. Time and time again, were hearing the devastating, angry messages about the precious lives were losing and its feeling disheartening that were getting further and further away from our zero vision goal and fatal crashes by 2024. Thats because were in a state of emergency. Weve lost as many pedestrians this year as we have in all of 201. 2018. We believe that vision zero is achievable. Its all of us, the board, staff, mayor, our board of supervisors, public health, Police Departments, we have to double down on whats necessary now. Were grateful for this team and board for pushing for a new policy on norout noright on rd were thrilled to try a leftturn campaign at eight locations soon. Thank you. These are the solutions we need to put in place to prevent the possibility of crashes, especially in the most dangerous places, our intersection. Were grateful to mayor reed for boosting Traffic Enforcement on the most dangerous driving behaviours. But as weve heard today, its not enough. We want to see tools like redlight cameras, especially if we dont have the people to tackle. It will take every engineering tool and enforcement solution possible to meet the challenge of our streets, as well as all of the transformative policy. Thank you, jodie. Next speak, please. Harold findly followed by Jennifer Walsh and missas miss arbuckle. Im harold findly and you all know how to stop the killing. You know it. You know the route cause. You know how to eradicate it. You have some the best professionals in the world that know how to solve it. You dont need me to tell you the specifics about how do it. I could tell you, but youve read the same books and all of that. But what i can tell you is that theres a growing tide of public support for you to do the right thing, for you to create safe, vibrant cities. You dont have to put the perceived need of somebody to have an s. U. V. Parking in front of his house and drive around the city on his daily errands and drive to tahoe on the weekend, put that perceived need over the real need of a child to walk or ride a bike to School Without violently slaughtered. I mean those are two completely Different Things. You can change your focus coming down from the board to the leadership of the sfmta, to the pd to have things like you pointed out, that should just flow naturally from the top. It shouldnt be a question of no right turn on red. If you have vehicles at all, they dont get to drive in front of people in crosswashes. Cros. Every officer shoulder citing every single sidewalk or bike lane violation. Thats not up for contention. If its a violation, cite it. If youre thinking from the right perspective, youre doing it that way. And youve got you need to know you have the public support growing to do the route things. Right things. Thank you, sir. Jennifer walsh, Nancy Arbuckle and sandy wiseburg. My name is Jennifer Walsh and i work with the abilitys integrator. I wanted to advise you of the sidewalk search party. We believe everyone can give back to the community. But the Community Must be accessible physically and psych psychlogically. This is all about making simple issues fixable by shining light on them so other people can have the power to fix them. The ff sidewalk search party has been meeting since may to strategize how to implement city departments on making sure temporary pathways around construction areas are accessible for all types of accessibility. Over the months, we have had enlightening conversations with mta, 311 w street inspectors about their responsibility for issuing permits, enforcing codes regarding issues, such as path of travel, rightofway, smooth surfaces, contract compliance, a accessibility guideline. In an ideal world, alastor all y departments will take ownership for all than rather than relying on the Mayors Office for construction sites temporary pathway. Perhaps mt can be the leader in changing this philosophy of accessible for all. Everybody is welcomed to the next sf sidewalk search Party Meeting at 166 1663 mission str. Fifth floor on september 9t september 9th from 1 00 p. M. To 2 30 p. M. Thank you very much. And since we rode over on the train together, i will say thank you for riding muni. Thank you. Ok, wonderful. Next speaker, please. Nancy arbuckle, susan wiseburg and nancy harrison. I want to thank the board for this opportunity to speak. Im Nancy Arbuckle from hyde street. Im a member of walk San Francisco. Im a committed pedestrian and a Public Transit rider. Everyone in my family is. We sole botwe sold both of our x years ago and will never own a car again. Were concerned about injuries and fatalities on San Franciscos streets and not just on the highinjury network, but on a lot of streets. We dont want to die out there but weve come too close too many times. Right turners look left for other vehicles and turned right and turned right into us. Left turners look at oncoming traffic and speed right into us. I often cross the street with my arm outstretch acting like my on traffic cop. So im glad that mayor breed is asking for a noturn policy and support a policy that recognises safety, safety, as the highest priority. Im also glad that the mayor recognises that citations and enforcement are critical to Getting Division zero. I want to thank this board for quickly implementing the solutions that we know will slow speeding traffic and protect us all in intersections. Thank you. Thank you very much, next speaker, please. Susan wiseburg, nancy harrison, brian weadonmeyer. Welcome. Good afternoon, my name is susan wiseburg and im a pedestrian. In june, i spoke before this board urging you to pass the quickbuild proposals to reduce pedestrian deaths and you approved those. And i thank you for that. But since then, in just three months, there have been three more deaths and countless more injuries. This is outrageous and i know that you all agree. Miss crumbburg said earlier that were doing everything we can with all of the tools that we have. So clearly we need different tools and do Different Things with them. Now as director henninger said, the danger of pedestrians on San Francisco streets is an emergency now. The city must forthrightly work to implement all proposals, specifically those in the transformative policy agenda. Even though, they may need state approval. Vision zero needs to stop being a vision and become an actuality. Next people, please. Nancy harrison followed by brian weadonmeyer. Im nancy harrison. Thank you. I moved to San Francisco from madison, wisconsin about a year ago. One of the reasons i moved here was because of muni and bart and your Public Transportation system. The senior fairs, the apps that you have have all made it easier for me to make this transition. Im committed to walking daily around the city, gave up my car, left it in the midwest. But i am the dem graphigraphic m so glad my name wasnt in that list. In february, i was hit by a leftturrinleftturning car at e intersection of 18th street and gadado. I was in the crosswalk, it was dayloot. Daylight. Youve heard this story 100 times, so the oncoming car stopped. The guy just turned right into me in the crosswalk. So fortunately, i was unconscious and rushed to the hospital. I am a survivor. It makes me hesitant to go in the trees. I walk everyday and there it is, this intersection where i live, its dangerous. In looking every way, the right turners, left turners, trying to make contact through the shaded windows, i do this. It feels ridiculous in that i dont think the lefthand turner would have seen this either, because there i was. But i guess what i want to say is that im glad that i hadnt heard of vision zero and through walk San Francisco, i did. Im pleased to hear all of your commitment and some passion around this. I hope to live here for many years and not find my name on the list and im greatfu gratefr what youre doing. Thank you for sharing your story. It does me does help for you to. The more personal accounts, theres a face to this epidemic and thank you for sharing what, im sure, was a traumatic event. Brian weadonmeyer and herbert weiner. Im the executive director of the San Francisco bicycle coalition. On behalf of our 10,000 members, i want to join my colleague and friend, jodie maderos from walk San Francisco, thanking you and the agency and the progress we have made in things lake our quickbuild policy, pushing for state enforcement. However, i would not be doing my job as an advocate, if i didnt come here and tell you we are not doing enough and director, since you asked for specific examples, i would like to suggest a few. The first is that during the presentation on the vision action strategy, when you list one of your strategy goals as eight miles of improved Sustainable Transportation lane per year and the mayor has challenged this agency to build 20 miles of protected bike lanes in two years, so youve got this mismatch of it looks like youre working back from the Mayors Challenge on 20 miles. That does not include brt lanes or pedestrian safety. That is 20 miles of projected bike lanes alone and were saying 16 miles by 2021. On market, street, we will have an opportunity to improve turn restrictions. It suggested 10th street to main would be a significant one. Thats one of our most dangerous. Lets extend that to goth and franklin. We have policies that we can use and deploy red light cameras right now. Why have the number of red light cameras reduced to over half since the old models are removed . Why are we not installing cameras that weve seen listed on fatal collisions . Thank you very much. Herbert winer . Mr. Winer, two minutes. Herbert winer. I appreciate the thoroughness and systematic rigger before the board. Theres a safety on the sidewalk. Constantly, theres endangerment of pedestrians on the sidewalk. And an argument has been stated that if he build more bike lanes, there will be less violations. Its clearly illegal to ride on the sidewalk and people need to be protected, especially senior and disabled. And its pointed out that a vehicle that travels at any speed a threatening to a pedestrian. That certainly applies to bicycles on the sidewalk. You have to stop this. So hopefully the laws should be enforced equally. So hopefully, when vision zero surveys people, they survey the pedestrians and not groups. What would happen if a member of the board were struck by someone on the sidewalk or a Law Enforcement officer . Its up to you to draw the conclusion. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Winier. Any further Public Comment . If you want to speak. So youll be the final public speaker. Tom, the floor is yours. Thank you. Before i mention signals, the red, yellow and green, we need, i say, dedicated signals to hold back pedestrianed t pedestrianse turns turn. You have to make the decision in the beginning of a light change when it turns to green to let cars turn right or turn left while the pedestrians are Still Holding up. If you ban lefthand turns, thats ok and if you dedicate lefthand turns, they need to be dedicated in the beginning of a signal change. What about magic eye signals that say there are people on a corner waiting or theres no traffic in the oncoming lanes or sides . I dont know how that can work but we have magic eyes everywhere and maybe they can control the signal. Old folks crossing, that seems to be a major problem. Is there a button that we can hit at the corner that old people can say gets ten more seconds to get across the street, that holds the lights up . And vanesse again, the buses that well wind up putting on vanesse, if they stop at every other stop, we can do all of the stops that we had once on vanesse. The old folks on vanesse could use it. There are people that are going to get old on vanesse. And we can still put the stops in half and every time a bus stops behind the bus thats at a stop, that bus is going to move and jump the next stop. If you can follow me on that, i think its doable. I think its better for the folks that live in the city on vannesse, thank you. Thank you. Final speaker. Good afternoon, board of directors. Could i have the overhead, please . I dont think you see People Holding laptops. I wanted to first quickly say the vision zero sf twitter account came out with a video recently asking cyclists to stop at red lights. Please know they speak with the citys voice and especially the opposite is true. Charles vincent died in 2015 because a car ran a red light through him. I would appreciate it if the city was not saying bike bicycls are responsible for their own death by running red lights. We had a discussion about what hor can be done. This isnt stockholm and everything you see here is temporary. Those signs, lines, trees, its temporary. This is a quick build. This is in vancouver, british columbia. Theres now a curb separating the bike lane but it wasnt always there and you can see the planters. That was a quick build. This is my hometown in the the netherlands and you can see two things on opposite sides of the street that force cars to make a lig zigzag and only one car can pass in each direction and i think this is permanent infrastructure and a quick buildable. This is in denmark, where cars want only pass no one direction through this bus stop here. This is not a quick build but quick buildable. This is speed table. Once again, im not sure this is quick buildable but residents intersections should all look like this. So fa food for thought there. That concludes Public Comment on this item and we had a robust discussion before. Is there anyone v i have comments myself but are there any with comments. Thank you so much. You did such a great job. Its been so gratifying in the years ive been on this board to see this discussion and to see this work evolve. Im so proud of this board as i am proud of you and im proud of the public that came here. Remember what you heard up here, not just the work youre doing but all of the work that staff is doing. Remember how supportive this board is. And when youre out proposing projects in the neighborhood, remember that we will support whatever moves the safety needle forward. So when you get pushback from new brunswicknewneighbours on p, on daylighting, changing anything in the neighborhood, remember how engaged and emphatic this board was on reaching these vision zero goals. That list and that moment of silence in the beginning was chilling and that could be any one of us and any one of our loved ones and so we have to remember that and any time staff comes to us, we have to ask, yes, and, what else could you do . Was there something that didnt get included. As one of the speakers noted, we have seen Public Opinion shift. To your point, director, dayloot of intersections, went that parking removal is on the consent calendar, we have had people complain but i havent seen that happen. So were letting the public know this is important work and in order to reduce deaths on our streets, we need to do that. Thank you so much, captain, the work with enforcement is fantastic. I would love a Police Officer on the corner of vidadero and hazes to stop blocking the sidewalk. Not all of my neighbors would want that, so i try and remind myself. So for me, more officers enforcing is fantastic, but not all of my neighbors will feel the same way. Certain communities dont want as many Police Officers out there. So we need to balance that and i have every faith in the world in sfpg that theyll approach that sensitively. I want to thank everybody. I am not surprised neighbors would choose to lose a traffic lane rather than parking spaces, but its a good message to us, because traffic lane removable is palatable. Lets remember that as we go forward. I can think of a few streets to lose traffic lanes. Thank you for the work, the public who showed up, thank you and hava and megan, i wanted to stand unanup and applaud. Weve come a long way and were on the right track. Thank you. Any a directors . Director torez . I want to echo our past directors comments because think theyre on target. I do walk the streets of San Francisco more than i ride a bike or do other things and believe me, mr. Winer, ive been almost hit from bicyclists, scooters on the sidewalk and its unbelievable what occurs in there, especially for Senior Citizens and im one of those now, too, that are impacted but these activities and by the lack of ken fo concern for safety of. Its true for drivers. It happens all of the time where im trying to cross the street and they dont care who is in the crosswalk. They dont care whats going on with the tree around them and not looking. But number one, theyre on their phones. Theyre texting or theyre a vehicle that utilizes our streets for pay and theyre not taxis. They usually dont live in San Francisco but come from all over the state to harass and to, basically, congest our very streets here. So we have a long way to go, but i believe that efforts of many of the mea people who spoke shod be applauded and we need to do that to our staff and i will thank you for the incredible report which i thought was pervasive in so many areas but my fellow director has good recommendations, as well. So we need to continue to work together, because this wont be solved overnight. Thank you. Dr. Borden. I wanted to say i agree with all of my colleagues up here and i want to thank the Police Department for being here. You
