Be given the chance to serve the community that i grew up in. I wouldnt be standing here today receiving this award without all of the teammates i work with daily. I have a whole bunch of them at 530 bush street. If you visited my office, we have multiple floors with a bunch of people that we work day in and day out and we would not progress with the amount of construction without everyones help and everyones hard work and i want to say thank you to my team and to our leadership, nadine and eric and mr. Mcguire here. Its a real honor and thank you for the recognition. Thank you and thank you for all of your hard work. [cheers and applause] moving on to our version zero update, at last meeting, you asked for a detailed summary of all of the the fatalities weve had to date. Its up from 23 in all of 2018. The breakdown of the people who died, 16 are pedestrians, six people driving vehicles and two were passengers in vehicles and one was a bicyclist and one as motor cyclist. 20 victims have been over 65 years old and 38 of the traffic victims and only 15 of San Franciscos population is over 65. 14 of the fatalities took place at night between 6 00 a. M. And 6 00 p. M. And the highinjury network where historically weve seen three the quarters take place, 73 have taken place in the highinjury network, which, again, with this boards support weve been directing most of or engineering and infrastructure efforts. The Police Department and department of Public Health will be preparing, as they do every year, an annual vision zero traffic fatalitys report that will go into depth and ill hear who is affected and it will include the final official numbers. One question you did ask last time was whether any of the fatalities were attributable to tnc drivers and i want to stress the word preliminary, preliminary data does not implicate tnc drivers as a party at fault in any of the fatal collision. However, there was a fatal collision at third street and paul street and in that crash, both a tnc driver and his passenger were killed. So that was one of the vehicle passengers suburba and one of te drivers killed and they worked tnc. Shifting over to muniservice, we experienced two Subway Service delays. On monday november 25th, at 11 00 a. M. , a wire broke and become tangled in a train pantagraph east of the embarkadaro station. We had to cut power and cross over and we were able, using video and a lot of experienced staff, we were able to diagnosis the problem. We ran rol regular tline and of the things were trying to learn, as youll be hearing, from all of these incidents is just the importance of every time improving communications with our customers and we use social media, texts, and we had within 30 minutes staff and ambassadors in the subway directing passengers to where they could find alternate service and we had parking control providing support along the embarkadaro. On tuesday, at approximately 7 00 p. M. , a driver who became disoriented drove into west portal tunnel and drove down far enough he passed the Forest Hills Station which required us to shut down the subway didnt the subway was shut down because we had to remove the vehicle and escort the driver out and we had shuffle trains running from embarkadaro to vanesse and we experienced severe flooding at the church station which caused the additional delays. The flooding was resulting from three clogged stormwater drains at the church station is water got as high as knee level at church and market. So we are working with p crustuo clear drains that failed but to fix the problem by installing a pump at Church Street station. We have been scheduled to do this in january and we got this done over the thanksgiving weekend. So that is a problem we think weve hardened herself against in the future. And the working Group Continues to make progress, cochaired by our vice chair, borden, as well as Ed Harrington is they have been meeting over the last several months, four committees to generate recommendations, asking what resource and broader support are needed to meet this to improve subway and improve Traffic Congestion and improve the customer experience. The full working group will be discussing potential draft recommendations at its december 13th meeting and as that process wraps up, it will provide insight to our new director of transportation and to the budget process that well be embargin embarking on togethn january. The rules, the liftowned bike system is scheduled to relaunch the electric bikes in San Francisco in middecember and we dont have a specific date yet, but they have committed to relaunching the ebikes that have been shut down since earlier this year. Service starts with 5 him ebikes and by april of 2020, we hope to get to 4,000 ebikes. As weve discussed before, well be tracking closely the Service Level metrics and Key Performance indicators. I wanted to flag for all of you and for the public that there will be a fare increase going into effect on january 1st, specific cable fares and this wont affect the bus or rail fare or monthly passes but the single cable car will go up by 1. The visitor passport by 1 and three and sevenday passports by 2 and these fare increases were adopted by this board in april as part of the previous budget cycle with the adopted indexing formula. Finally, well be offering free Transit Service to everyone in San Francisco between 8 00 p. M. On december 31st and 5 00 a. M. On new years day as a way to encourage as few people to drive as possible on new years eve when theyre out and that riding transit is the safest way to get around San Francisco and free transit is our economy ultimateo keeping streets safer. Questions for the director . I know a few. The issue around so first off, dealing with the recent issues that we had, you mentioned that the driver was disoriented. So we dont feel like there was any signage or anything that we could have done proactively and it was very much under the influence or something. So we definitely got a report that the driver was badly disoriented. However, were looking at anything to do with signage. Three years ago, we had a problem, a regular issue at the debose, east portal of the sunset tunnel and we were able to restripe and put in safe posts and signage that has more or less prevented that from happening again. Were looking at whether this could work at the west portal. Scotso the issue of the wire pulled down, is this a wire that is like the overhead wires we see all of the time . Is that what its like in tunnel two . It got wrapped around the tumbler that comes up from the train. How often do we expect the wires, just in general and i know theres been a lot of maintenance in afterhours. We have so many wires, how do we prioritize and check those. We have to come back with a detailed report on how often. I do know weve inspected, during the early shutdown window earlier this year, we inspected the entire Market Street tunnel. This took place at the portal and so i would like to get back to you on whether or not that was inspected. You brought up the issue of flooding and whether were stepping up our pump purchase. Whats the program around drain maintenance . I get emails from the Water Department around the sandbags but pertaining to muinassets, what is our Maintenance Plan or how frequently do they inspect to make sure thick things are wg effectively . Like we know it will rain, do we trim trees . What is the process. Woulso we have a set of fixed routine maintenance tests before the rainy season include covering up surface greats where water from a flooded great could get into the subway, buffing out storm drains and we recently worked with the department of public works to fix a habitual leakagleakageleakage pumping pre plaza and were looking through to make sure the parts of the system to keep water out of the subway are ready to do that job and this was a failure that took place up at the street level in the pu cowned water system and points to the fact all systems are interconnected. Weve been in dialogue about puc about keeping the storm drains near the subway a little more proactively cleared. I would love to figure out around i mean, when it rains, then traffic is bad and people want Public Transit and so whatever we can do to help support a more proactive strategy with the puc around their drains affecting the tunnels and maybe we can get staff to look into that and come up with an mou of how that works is how we deploy, you know, action when we see a rainy week upcoming. Directors, any other questions . Just one. Tom, i think you mentioned of the 26 traffic fatalities, 16 were pedestrians . Thats right. Do we track how many of those are at fault of the pedestrian . So the yearend report that the Police Department puts together will track that issue but i dont have that number. So were waiting a couple of weeks to find out. Waiting a couple of weeks, yes. Im curious is there any data to track back before we offered transit, to understand if we see an increase in transit ridership as a result of the fares being waived . Its probably hard to compare that newt t night to any other. It would be interesting. Id be happy to bring that data back. Its another data point because its free. Any other questions for directors before i open it up to the public. Any questions from the public on the directors report . To these will be topics deny members otopics members of the welcome to address with questions from mr. Mcguire. Mr. Winr . Ner . Im herbert winer. One thing i would like to see presented at the report to the board is the department of parking and traffic. I think they should present data and thats been conspicuously missing for some year. Years. I think this would be very use approximateluseful. The second thing about the task force, the public has not been included and the public does not have input. Its only specialized feedback and only from certain perspectives. You did not get a full picture of whats going on. I would like to see the police participate because they can give input to the traffic. They do not have the exclusive knowledge about the problems of traffic and i think their input would be invaluable. So these are my thoughts on the directors report. Thank you. Thank you. Any other comments . I will just say that the working group did provide we had an item here at this board a few months ago and then the Transportation Authority had an item for Public Comments related to the working group and when the recommendations were released, there will be another chance to offer Public Comment. The actual meetings are considered a passive meetings and most of the actual participants are transit professionals, not only from here but agencies around the country who participate transit systems. So people are welcomed to provide feedback and input, as well, but that working group is really more of professionals looking at the technical aspects of operating a transportation system. So its by no means is it an attempt to exclude the public and there are links to send them to you, mr. Winer, online, where you can find out some of the things discussed and the presentations. I think julie has done a great job of bringing those presentations to this board, as well, which are also subjects of that working group. Item 8, the citizens advisory report, madam chair, no report today. And item 9, general Public Comment, an opportunity for members to address the board formatters on the jurisdiction of the mta but not on today eats calendar. John parr and herbert winer. Youll have two minutes and at the 30 second mark, you hear a ding indicating your time is up because of Public Meeting rules, earn has to have the same time. So two minutes is two minutes. Thanks. Mr. Parr, your time is starting. Good evening, im john par and im a member of the world of the the upside down world. Im coming here for about a year. My vietnamese postal agent looked at me the other day and said the ftma crew did a wonderful job painting white lines in an area where were covered with fog on the street corners, no less, absolutely useless and said, hey, they put lipstick on pig but its still pick. And the problem not solved. You know, i speak here in very plain english, but obviously, no intiende, do not understand. Do you like movies as much as i do . Well, i have one following up to pixars toy story 4, this is called judith street train story. It doesnt have a happy ending, but you folks have the power to change that. Sorry, sir, you need to speak into the microphone. This represents your grandmother, grandfather, people in wheelchairs, disabled people and veterans and my charming wife, who works in a Cancer Hospital feeding children who have cancer and most of all, even me. This little intel guy. So in case you dont get it, this is the this guy comes off the train and this car flattens the person dead, like a pancake. So as a followup here, my message to the mayor who ill be visiting, the city council who ill be visiting and to the San Francisco press who might be here, to deliver my handwriting very clearly, please allocate 20 million to my community to build the worlds first proper station and return us to the rightside up world. Lealex april and herbert win, the last two to submit a speaker card. Good afternoon. Im alex april and im here on behalf of spin, one of the companies that permitted to operate in San Francisco. I want to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to give Public Comment today and thank all of sfth staff to put the work into the powered Scooter Share Program in San Francisco perform we understand theres a strong and ongoing interest from the supervisors in understanding how mtas permit program is addressing sidewalk writing and i would like to share the measures the spin is taking to curb sidewalk writing and curb parking here in San Francisco. As promised, we have set up inapp notification and popups to users that are required to review before taking their first ride. These notifications educate spin users on the local laws and rules on parking and make it clear that sidewalk writing is against the law. In addition, as of november 7th, all scooters here in San Francisco spin operated have a prominent sticker on the handlebars reads no riding on sidewalks, park at bike wracks. We have held several events including bayview, the excellier and educating on parking and we distributed free helmets to the public at these events and do outreach in the coming months. We offer a hav have a vallet service. Because we have spin employees, were able to verbally communicate to all individuals to not ride on sidewalks and han hand them literature saying ride with the flow of traffic and in the bike lane when available. Do not ride on sidewalks and make sure to lock your scooter to a bike rack. Thank you for the opportunity to give Public Comment and on behalf of spin, we look forward to working alongside fma to bringing safe transportation to all of sanfrancisco residents. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker please. Herbert winer. Herbert winer. I wish to comment on the minor solution at muni firstdegree murder. Forward. The 27 bus run was altered and there were bus stops and consolidation of bus stops but there was no addition of coaches to that run. It was done on the basis of making the buses run faster, but its still the same Lousy Service and people have to work a longer distance to get the bus. So, basically, it comes to the minor solution. Its not even a zero sum solution. And basically, in my most angry of thoughts, i can call it a hoax. I can call it a mean prank. I can call it a dirty trick. But this is whats happening, the public is actually lost in Public Transportation as a result of muniforward. It was flawed from the beginning and it will be carried to a nightmare solution and i think you should dread the thought of an angry public. One exexecutive director has paid and there could be more to come. You have to include the sentiments of the neighborhood affected by this project. Taravel has been a nightmare and it has fallen on deaf ears. You cannot go through with a suicide agenda which is the product of matt forward. He remains the executive director. Any additional commenters . Seeing none, Public Comment is closes. Moving on to consent, these items are considered to be routine unless a member wishes to have an item considered separately. I received to requests for a severance, nor from the board. Director. Not a severance. If you have a question, unfortunately, we have to pull it off to address the question. Which item . 10. 2. So well sever 10. 2 all of 10. 2 . Great, thats 10. 2 c and d. Do i have a motion to approve the consent calendar minus 10. 2c d . So moved. Any opposed . Great, that passes and now well pull up item c and d and can staff for a 10. 2, item c and d come up to the microphone. This has to due with establishing 15 Miles Per Hour at golden gate between hyde and levinworth and 25 Miles Per Hour on visitation avenue scene mantle and hawn when children are present. This is care out the directive for 15 Miles Per Hour during school zones. I wanted to know why theres a difference in the speed . If 15 Miles Per Hour is the practise, why arent we doing that everywhere . We look at what the existing limit is, if its 20 or 25, we lower it to 15. Thats the technical explanation. Is that based on, like, existing state legislation that limits our authority to set safer speed limits or just sort of a practise that we use . The california vehicle code does concern this in a lot of ways th
