Item 5. All right. Mr. Chair, i have no communications at the moment. New or unpublishe unfinished bu. Board members, if theres something you would like to address now, please do so. I had some leaders in chinatown bring up the issue around i know that there was concerns generally about the delay and the subway and concerns about things we can do to mitigate and one of the proposals theyre pushing forward was for lesser parking latenight in the garage at a flat rate. I know that is something the department has been considering but i was asked by steven lee on the Entertainment Commission to bring that forward before the board. Interpret are they were looking for something and talking about after 6 00 p. M. Between that and 2 00 a. M. Or later because a lot of people who come into chinatown come from outside of the city. Without objection, can you can coordinate on that with the Entertainment Commission. Im not sure its a board item yet but see if its something you want to address at the staff level. That would be wonderful and report back about your progress. Thank you, directour mcgwire. Any further new or Unfinished Business . Bless you, my fellow directors. On to item 7. Thank you, directors report. Good afternoon. I will troy to make this quick as the chair said we have a long meeting today. Theres quite a few things i want to update you on. Last week we experienced several Serious Service disruptions on muni. Monday morning. A circuit break err on the in bound side of the subway. It lasted for 40 minutes. Our mobile units had to tow the car out of service and we since had to replace the defective battery in that car. A drain that has had a history of problems had a malfunction blocking out that service and we had a 25minute delay and we had to deploy bus anxiousels to and from church street. We have taken that vehicle out of service for a thorough diagnosis so it wont cause that problem again and two experienced a loss of power and they were damaged overhead context and you will see the overhead wires at church and 16th which is a significant delay on the j ex we had to run bus shuttles for four hours. We tried to emphasize the communication to passengers and these are pretty tricky delays as they occurred in the high ridership well learn about keeping those off the rails during rush hour if possible. Another street fatality occurred since our last meeting. This one occurred on october 6tn evans. A southbound driver was speeding across the centre line at Hunters Point and struck a northbound vehicle head on and the driver in the new york te team has been out there and well refresh and make the centre striping dieter to alert and and that stretch of road. The next day there was a single driver and the third avenue and that crash the driver who appears to have had a non traffic related medical condition struck a parked car. And died. Finally, there was a serious injury crash on october 13th, sunday evening. A driver was fleeing a hitandrun collision and struck several vehicles along the corridor. The last crash involved the driver crossing over the opposite direction of traffic and hit another driver head on. It was not a fatality but a serious injury. Yesterday at 3 30 p. M. , there was an injury collision involving a cable car. A Truck Driving near the corner of washington, on washington street between jones and tailor collided with a cable car. None of the injuries were serious but five people went to the hospital and we have an Investigation Underway with that incident. And two weeks ago, we experienced a tragic death of a taxi driver. Two of his passengers visiting can fran from chicago were killed in a headon collision on highway 101. The driver of the other vehicle is also killed. San Francisco Department of publichealth has been on site at sfo to provide assistance to other drivers who may be struggling with this loss. He was a taxi driver for quite a while and we extend our sympathy to those involved and are affected by this loss. Moving onto the chase centre. For a month of chase centre, weve been really pleasantly surprised with the level of ridership on muni to and from the events. The rail ridership has been averaging 3500 patrons a game and has gotten as high as 5700 during a couple of the preseason basketball events. The basketball games are getting more transit ridership than the concerts. Bus ridership has ranged between 200 and 1100 per day. The highest ridership on that was the elton john concert. We have had no issues with customers being getting fair tickets or anything for the proof of payment. Your muni ticket and your warriors ticket seems to work smoothly. Its too early to speak about the revenue impact of this will be but, were seeing on average over 30 of the patrons going to the arena riding on muni. That points to the success of the ticket bundling initiative. For one year beginning on october 21st, our partners at the san Francisco Department of public works will be constructing phase 2 of the street scape Improvement Project on jefferson street and that is going to impact muni service in fisherman warf and theyre going to loop back at pier 39 for the duration. Construction and the shuttle bus will serve the missed steps further on in Fishermans Warf. It will have wider sidewalks and bike parking, landscaping, public seating and i improvementsens hanceing the transit experience when its done. And recently weve received several requests to improve curb space. The area founded by division, an area mixed destinations and its a unique part of the city. Were going to apply the holistic approaching Parking Management and curb management weve applied in other parts of the city and relaunching an effort that we had underway a few years ago called the northeast mission curb management project. The goal is to come up with a plan that addresses the parking and curb management needs of all stakeholders with reasonable regulation zoos on Street Parking is available to meet the commercial demands and yet the streets are safe for all users. Well be having an open house coming on october 21st at 8 00 a. M. At the atlas cafe at 3049 mission and staff will hold office hours and have lots of creative dropin events to this unique p. D. R. Area and that concludes my report. Thank you, very much, directour mcgwire. Is there Public Comment on his report . No, mr. Chairman. No one is turned in a speaker card regarding this. I will advise the audience theres an overflow room and its the north side court so people cannot be standing in the room because of the fire codes. Seeing no Public Comment and no one coming forward on the report well close Public Comment. Any comments or questions for directour mcgwire. Thank you. Pardon me. I wasnt sure if you had Public Comment. Do you want to speak mr. Director mcgwires report . Sure. On the report . No, thats what i was asking you. If its on this report, no. Im waiting for Public Comment other than his report. I will make sure you know when we have Public Comment on items not on the agenda, mr. Brian. Thank you, sir. I didnt note it on my card. Please get a speaker card. Shes going to count it against your time, james. You better sit down. [laughter] thank you. Thank you mr. Mcgwire. I just want to add to the chase Centre Discussion to remind everybody the other board that i sit on cal train runs a Great Service to the new chase centre and one of my fellow Board Members on the other board recommended to steph curry who was late for something when he tried to drive he should just hop on cal train and get there on time. Also, more for the publics benefit. I know we talked about this before but its been a few years. When we have a collision between one of our revenue volkswagen like a cable car or a bus and a private automobile, we do go after that driver and that drivers Insurance Company for money to pay for the repairs for the vehicles correct . Yeah. I think it really depends on the situation and thats why i said that we have an investigation open right now. We do whats called a sixhour investigation when theres a crash involving a rail vehicle. It does involve our partners at cpuc so we need to figure out where the culpability is and just what happened. Because i dont have those facts im not sharing that now but when we do, well pursue revenue. Anyone else. If i may, thank you for the transparency on the muni delays or the metro delays that we had and my understanding was the communication protocol was followed relatively well or as well as can be under the circumstances. Thank you foray attention to that. My question is this, were all the of the vehicles involved breta vehicles . I do not know the answer. The problematic volkswagen is an old car. Yes. So when mrs. Kirsh baumgartner gives us the report. Terry fayhe can hold on. If you can speak into the microphone. Im Deputy Director of maintenance standing in for julie. The answer is yes, one of the First Vehicles that entered the crossing of 16th was a lrv4. The reason i ask is just this, these things are going to happen. I know you guys are monitoring and reporting and we appreciate this but its important for the public to understand that in those three instances, these were caused by aging vehicles and were on that we have new volkswagen in place. Thervehicles in place. I want today clarify these were the older vehicles involved, particularly when the vehicle was the cause of the problem. Right. The incident was 16th and church. Very good. It was not related to the vehicle. Thank you. The next thing is this, id like to adjourn todays meeting in memory of mr. Ahmed and ask that our directour of Taxi Services send our condolences along to his friends and family and his colleagues in the taxi business. I was very upset to learn that news when i woke up that morning, not just that two visitors to our city died, which is terrible enough, but someone who dedicated his life to moving our visitors perished at no fault of his own trying to get visitors downtown during the evening hours. Im very saddened by that. I ask that you extend my personal condolences to his friend and id ask without objection Board Members that we adjourn in his memory today. Seeing no objection, well do that. Mrs. Boomer, next item, please. Advisory Council Report mr. Chair theres no report today so you are moving on to item 9, Public Comment. This is an opportunity for members of the public to address the board on matters that are within the jurisdiction of the mta board of directors you but is not on todays agenda. How many cards including mr. Brians do we have . I dont have one for mr. Bryant. I have one speaker card. Who is that . John par. Mr. Par, you have two minutes then mr. Bryant you have two minutes. Good afternoon board of directors my name is john par. I affectionally live in an area which i call jurassic park. You folks watch tv. One of my favourite shows on netflix is called stranger things. It divides humanity into two worlds. The normal right side up world and the other side of the world which is called the upside down world. Nothing is normal in the world called the upside down world. Mind you stop at 31st and judah is part of the upside down world for over 100 years. This is my 12th visit to discuss this matter. On 31st and judah commuters can meet their doom by simply leaving or entering a light rail vehicle into an open street. This is complete insanity. Other cities do not consider this normal. Its upside down behaviour. I ask the work order approved by sf muni and sean kennedys team that this work be executed immediately and without any further or needles delay. Its minimum work. Second, at some point in the near future, a Capital Budget allocation of 12 million be made to the Street Corner of 31st and judah so that finally in my lifetime and in san franciscos lifetime, the outer sunset experiences the delight of an elevated light rail transit stop. And return us to the right side up world. Thank you. Thank you, very much. Mr. Bryant. We didnt make you wait that long. Thank you, sir. Today i want to have a discussion about other matters but today i want to discuss the issue of the placement of lyft bicycle facilities that youve placed down in the communities. Well, you know, i understand that you probably have some financial agreement with lite but i want to make this clear to you when folks like the people who are on evans and the 1300 block of evans go to park in the morning, and there are absolutely no parks available, that is a problem. Theres a problem because when we have not been notified by mta or lyft or whoever pro voids that services, it seems to be a position of disrespect. Ive noticed in my community where i live which is bay view Hunters Point community, there are several these facilities that have been placed in our community and if you just give me a moment to let me know who is your communicate or or distribution of information, i would be really happy to have a conversation because they have not met their needs of meeting the community. I think that if you are going to place bicycles in a community that is strained in receiving services from the Transit System itself, i think that you should come out and you should come directly to the works that live there work there and pay taxes there. Thank you, very much. Anyone else on Public Comment items not on the agenda. Mr. Winier it wouldnt be an item 9 without you. Please, step forward. And a few blocks up the hill from where i live, and congestion pricing is one way to and now that plan b has been vetoed by the governor i encourage you to go back to plan a and make another car free space on this very special and allow everybody else to walk in the main start of the street instead of a little seven foot wide staircase. Lets have that space be for people not cars. Thank you. Thank you, very much. Any further comment on item 9. Seeing none well close that item. I will confirm with our directour, it is illegal to ride a scooter on the sidewalk, is it not . Yes, it is. If you see someone riding a scooter illegal leon the sidewalk you are free, if you wish to take a picture of that and report it to the Scooter Company all of which have pledged to help us enforce that rule. Is that also true . Thats true. Very good. Thank you. Ok, next item, please. Clerk directors, you are at your consent calender these items are considered to be routine unless a member of the bother, a minimum of the public wishes to severe an item and consider it separately. Mr. Chair, i have not received an indication a member of the public wishes to have an item severed. I have received a request from staff to officer under 10. 2 number d and i through m. Sever for discussion or sever for removal . Remove it from the agenda . Ok. Does anyone have any objection to remove those items from the agenda . Seeing none. Is there any Public Comment on the consent calender . No, no one has given a speaker card. This is wonderful meeting so far. Approve remaining consent. All in favour of the consent with the items and theyre described removed and anyone opposed. Moving on to your regular agenda. Item 11 approving the better market and adopting findings and a proving parking and traffic modifications associated with the project. Ok. Im not sure theres many people here from this and area. Ive awaited eight years and i might as well wait another hour. The appropriate miss wise and. Thank you, chairman, members of the board. Victoria acting director of sustain act streets. Were here today to share a proposal for really once in a generation transformation of Market Street. This is our busy street when it comes to transit. When it comes to biking, when it comes to people walking. Its also a vital corridor with countless businesses, Historic Buildings everywhere and frankly evolving land uses and not to mention that this street is home to so many of our civic events. Commissioned in the mid 1800s and designed by Market Street has always been a key transit corridor including horsedrawn street cars and cable cars and electric cars and today hybrid diesel buses all kinds of transit. And so, what we want to make sure today is that the street continues its Important Role in the city and that it better serves our existing and future users. So, to that end, teams from multiple city departments, in extensive consultation with stakeholders, Community Members and different experts developed a design that carefully balanced all the modes. It also creates infrastructure, absolutely critical, it brings a unified look and feel to the street and perhaps frankly most importantly, it will bring safety improvements to the street. Half of the citys top 10 intersections for injury collisions are in Market Street. Half, so, today the team will share with you the full concept for the 2. 2mile project. What we will also share with you is our plans for the build we plan to implement as soon as january 202
