Just for the 5th to 8th segment, which is most immediate. But more broadly i think this is if we can get as far ahead of this as possible, i think it will be hugely helpful, especially in light of what weve seen in light of the other large projects, central subway, van ness in particular to have a plan in place to have that outreach and to be able to because this is going on for years. So this and this is right in the heart, obviously core of our city. It couldnt be more important to get this right. But thank you for your work. Chair peskin thank you. Seeing no other questions from members, are there members of the public who would like to testify on this item . Please come up. If youd line up to your right, your left. First speaker, please. First and foremost, lets take the central subway, started with 600 million. And now its about 2 billion. Take the van ness corridor. You dont give a damn how many businesses left the city and county of San Francisco. And you dont give a damn that many of those businesses were there for 25, 30 years. Now we were there and the chair has made a statement about he knows and he saw what transpired when the first time around they worked on Market Street. And at that time the department of transportation paid the businesses some money. They did not do this with 3rd street. Now back to Market Street. Go on Market Street and go on going in the area of union square and see how many businesses now are closed. It doesnt even feel like christmas. In union square there are businesses that are closed. Now i believe in Needs Assessment from engineers. Not having some people forming committees and lets talk about this, that and the other. [bell dings] engineers we are so stupid on van ness, that for every one day we work, three days we do not work. And it took somebody one and a half years to find out, oh, how to mix this problem. So mohamed was there, holland was there. Ed was there and, guess what, a good man like ed raskin, you ganged up on him and he had to leave. And now youve got a clown you expect this clown to do some justice. [bell dings] stop the talk, but dont walk the walk. We need engineers. Engineers who understand transportation and can do Needs Assessment. Thank you such. Chair peskin next speaker. Ms. Lee. Hello. Good morning, commissioners. My name is janice lee with the San Francisco bicycle coalition. Im going to keep this really short. Come on, you know to vote yes on this. But what i will say this is phase 1a. I didnt know you had to split phases into letters, which means a lot of phases coming before you over the coming years to fund this project. And i really think that that is where you as commissioners can weigh in and hold the city accountable to those timelines. So i look forward to that. It does not escape me that the two commissioners, chair peskin, commissioner haney, Market Street splits to be vocal on this. It says a lot in terms of making sure the construction, the timelines are met. Theres assistance for the small businesses. I think the Bike Coalition is extremely supportive of that. I think weve learned we have to be part of this conversation during the planning phase, too. But thank you so much for your consideration. Vote yes. This is a nobrainer. Lets fix Market Street. Thank you. Chair peskin next speaker. Im bob. Im president of save muni. I had an illuminating conversation with a driver on the number 5 recently. You know, the number 5, its the fulton that goes up past golden gate park. And the longest part of that route, in timewise, he said its on Market Street. Once it gets off Market Street, you can move pretty quick. So i said to him, well, are you looking forward to the new Market Street plan, that will get the cars off. He said not really because we get held up more by bicycles than we get held up by cars. Now what im saying to you, i urge you in approving this measure, to include a representative from the transit workers union, who can speak to the concerns of the muni drivers, as youre reconstructing Market Street. We dont want to impede the buses. We want to have bike lanes. But lets be sensible and include the drivers from the very beginning. And, of course, save muni will be happy to participate as well. Thank you. Chair peskin thank you. Next speaker. Good morning, commissioners. Jody, walk San Francisco. I do want to echo janices comments in terms of we do hope that this is a nobrainer and this money is passed for the better Market Street project. Walk San Francisco has been part of the c. A. C. And has also been asking for what these mitigations are and have offered our services. So anything we can do to be part of that, in terms of talking to businesses and helping, we know that this kind of project is going to enliven businesses on Market Street. We have to keep that in mind when were talking about more foot traffic, more people on bikes, more ability to stop and shop. So lets keep that in our heads when we do hopefully pass this. Thank you. Chair peskin thank you. Are there any other other members. Public wanting to speak on item number 5 . Seeing none maybe we can hear from staff at our december 17th meeting with some recommendations, relative to the policy concerns that again i think i said this at the beginning. This is not about the project. This is about how we mitigate in a meaningful and real way, impacts from the project. And weve all experienced this, whether its commissioner yee in west portal. Weve all this these problems and its time at the dawn of the 21st century for the city to wrap our arms around that. With that, is there a motion for item 5, made by commissioner mandelman, seconded by commissioner yee. And on that item, we have a different house. Roll call please. Commissioner brown . Aye. Commissioner fewer . Aye. Commissioner haney . Aye. Commissioner mandelman . Aye. Commissioner mar . Aye. Commissioner peskin . Aye. Commissioner ronen . Aye. Commissioner stefani . Aye. Commissioner walton . Aye. Commissioner yee . Aye. Clerk we have first approval. Chair peskin next item, please. Item number 6, allocate approximately 1. 5 million with conditions and appropriate 110,000 in president obama sales tax funds for three requests. This is an action item. Mr. Pickford, good morning. Good morning. So, yeah, our first request is for design of a new castro street elevator and provide a redundant elevator. The 1. 5 million in prop k requested would leverage an additional 1. 4 million in sfmta funds. The project includes an emphasis on Community Outreach and the design team will coordinate with local groups that are proposing to redesign harvey milk plaza. The project being connected is part of a broader rehab, replacement project building new elevators at muni stations around the city. This elevator is expected to be open for use in june 2022. We have a little diagram that shows you where in the station the new elevator would be located. Our next request is for the realignment study. It comes at the request of commissioner ronen. It will duct preliminary engineering and traffic analysis for realigning the boulevard near the farmers market. The goals are to make it safer, neighborhood friendly roadway and reduce the amount of land thats occupied by the interchange. The Transportation Authority will lead the study and sfmta will provide Technical Support and will review the work. Were already looking at different alternatives for realign alemana. The request today would move forward the best alternative into preliminary engineering, to complement this study, district 9 has also supported Public Outreach by s. F. Plan and some Engineering Work by public works. Were expecting some draft analysis in early 2020 and a final report in october 2020. The idea of the realignment would be to push alemany into that grassy area, away from the farmers market. Our final request is for the district 10, 15 third bus study. The study would respond to longstanding Community Concerns about the lightrail service and the desire to return bus service to 3rd street. So a lielevel Feasibility Analysis and well evaluate office for muni bus service and assess the benefits, costs and risks of each. Currently proposals to address the Community Concerns, which include delays, switchbacks, trains being taken out of service at muni metro east. But they have long timelines, so this study would like at returning bus service to the corridor in advance of one central subway opens. Outreach will include participation in existing Community Events and additional small meetings, as needed. The study will inform future outreach efforts. The Transportation Authority will lead the study and the final report we expect completed in march 2020. With that, i can take any questions. We have project managers and our other agencies as well. Chair peskin thank you, mr. Pickford. Are there any member who have questions for staff. Seeing none, is there any members from the public ms. Lee. Please come forward. Hi, again, janice lee. San francisco bicycle coalition. Im missing my mandatory like central harassment training for this. You know, i have to make sure im really speaking out. Anyway. Chair peskin you have until the end of year. I know. I know. Im working on it. So i want to give thanks to commissioner ronen on her request for alemany. I know that you have talked about this, also for the hairball as well, the realignment. These are very, very longterm plans. We just saw, you know, better Market Street i think the first round of that public planning began in 2011. So sometimes things do take a long time. Were really supportive of that prop k allocation, particularly for alemany. So thanks for your leadership there. Chair peskin thank you. Madam bart director. Seeing no other members of the public, is there a motion to move this forward. Made by commissioner walton, seconded by commissioner ronen. Well take the same house, same call. It is approved on the first reading. Mr. Clerk, could you please read the next item. Reporter approve the Participatory Budgeting Program and the projects identified through the Bayview Community based transportation plainnesses. Chair peskin commissioner walton, the floor is yours. Supervisor walton before the presentation, i want to make some brief comments. We recently participated in a regional participatory budgeting pilot, which actually started before my election to this body. And i want to thank m. T. C. For awarding 600,000 and, of course, i wish it could be more. And lifeline Transportation Program funds to Fund Priorities from the Bayview Communitybased transportation plan. Participatory budgeting process. I would also like to thank everyone that advanced this effort, including the sfmta, the Steering Committee, the technical advisory committee, be magic, the Transportation Authority, m. T. C. And, of course, our bayview residents for engaging in this process by attending workshops, submitting project ideas, and voting on the priorities that are important to the community. Through this process, sfmta is able to fund the top scoring project, which is increased service on the 44 oshaughnessey, with other funds, to use lifeline funds to improve transit safety and accessibility and creates safer streets in the bayview, which is a top priority for many areas in the community. The projects will benefit transportation in the bayview, and im happy to support this recommendation. And just want to note that were also working on other ways to increase equity in transportation in the bayview, a 15 third study to provide better transit down the corridor, signal priority for the t, increased access to transportation hubs, downtown commercial corridors and rail stations, and ending switchbacks. Chair peskin ms. Smith. Good morning. April smith. Your transportation planner with the Transportation Authority. Happy to present this item today. So for background, the lifeline Transportation Program focuses on projects that serve communities of concern. And that address transportation gaps and barriers. In july of 2018, m. T. C. Approved 600,000 of a 1 million setaside for l. T. P. Projects identified through a participatory budgeting pilot as part of the bayview or communitybased plan. Assess components that applicable and scalable at a regional level. Only transit operators are eligible to apply through the 20 local match requirement. And the total budget was 750,000. As a congestion management agency, the Transportation Authority is responsible for approving the final program of projects. The board was based on the bayview c. T. P. And the participatory budgeting efforts in october, as part of the supmental prop k. To fund the larger ctpt investment plans, 2. 5 million in traffic fund was in fiscal 20, and 21 and 22. As required by m. T. C. Guideline, sfmta established a Steering Committee, which developed and adopted a participatory budgeting rule book, which is attachment one to thementalo in your pocket. Also specify that 85 of the funding be used for operating projects and 20 be used for Capital Projects. Beginning in summer of 2018, sfmta collected project ideas from bayview residents and stakeholders, through multilingual outreach. Staff received over 250 ideas which were screened for eligibility and feasibility. Sfmta then worked with the Steering Committee to develop project proposals and selected the projects to be included on the final ballot, which is shown in attachment 2. To the memo in your packet. The Community Voted over sevenweek period, beginning in july of 2019. Ballots were made available in spanish, english and chinese at 19 locations in the bayview, as well as online. And they received 375 ballots in response. The operating project that received the most votes was to increase service on the 44 oshaughnessy. After close coordination with commissioner walton, the sfmta was able to identify an alternative source of funds for the project, which allowed the l. T. P. Funds to be made available to the next highest scoring project, the bayview transit assistance. They commissioner walton is supportive of the project, as you heard earlier. As you see here, sfmta has identified 170,000 in local match funds to fully fund the recommended project of programs, which exceeds the 20 required local match. Attachment five to the memo conveneses detailed information on the seven projects recommended for funding. For more on the projects, transit assistance will be hired from the bayview for three years to ride on the 29 sunset, the 44 oshaughnessey and the lines within or immediately adjacent to the bayview, to provide a safety present. That will be from july 2020 through june 2023. The Capital Projects serving as the local match will improve access to transit and lighter safety. The funds would be used to construct four crosswalk safety and access improvements and two bus shelters, expected to be open for use by september 2022. Pending board approval, the m. T. C. Commission will consider the program of projects for approval and consider allocating 100,000 in funds in early 2020. We anticipate the sfmta will request additional prop k funds for a portion of the local match. M. T. C. Will release its findings from the San Francisco pilots in 2020. With that, i can take any questions. Chair are there any questions for ms. Smith in commissioner walton, i think you said your piece. Are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item number 7. Ms. Lee. Or no. Youre just walking around. It is. You are a frequent flyer today. I promise ill stop after chair Public Comment, we welcome and encourage. Thank you, chair peskin. This is another communitybased transportation effort. This is, you know, bayview sort of falls on the heels of western addition, which was a great way to really put the time and energy it takes. And i think learning a lot from commissioner yee and the success that youve had doing participatory budgeting in district 7, bringing dollars to actual Pedestrian Safety improvements in your district, as driven by the community. It goes such a long way. I think a lot of times people participate in communitybased Transportation Planning or communitybased planning and you dont really know where it goes, those efforts sort of sit on a shelf. I can name many sfmta studies where that happened. This is really exciting that people can put real dollars behind this. I really encourage you to approve this. And i think generally with communitybased planning, were realizing it takes a lot of Staff Resources and takes a lot of time. But when we do it right, well see real improvements and hope that, you know, sfcta, this board, this commission supports such efforts. So thank you. Chair thank you. Next speaker. First and foremost, i think if somebody is sponsoring or involved with this agenda, they should pay attention. So right off the bat, you know that some people dont give a damn. So lets get real. If you look at the 3rd street rail, it starts at 4th and king and ends in the middle of nowhere visitation alley. Now
