Alternative to the wires. That is still being considered within the station itself, within the transit center, simply because it helps to preclude people touching active waters or throwing items on to active wires. So that is instructing him something being considered in the united states. With that, if there are questions, i would love to answer it. I think you got a good of information. Seeing no questions for you, let me concur with you as to the sfmtas transparency and candor. Were all in it together and lets use this opportunity as best we can. With that, are there any members of the public that would like to comment on this now over hour discussed item . Okay, before we take questions, this is a reminder that the public caller call in line is 18882045987, access code is 2858465. You can press 10 to comment. With that, were going to check for comments now. Thank you ms. Milton. You have four questions remainingful remaining. First caller please. My pronouns are she her. Its a good detailed presentation but im not satisfied. We have to ask ourselves why conveniently it seems that three days of operation that these parts failed. You know, when i get a shipment of food, such as canned beans and tomato sauce, i check them. If they are defective i send a message to the website and i ask for a new one to be sent or the money be put back on my card. There is the possibility of covid and they took great pains to ensure that their control systems would stay up. I dont think it should be all or nothing either an open subway or closed subway because the new york city subway has generally run 24 hour as day and have been able to perform maintenance and construction for the most part during 24 hours a day. Our system is not a heavily loaded system. Take a look at the channel tunnel and the train in japan that runs a higher speed, higher voluntary tans, and heavier loading and you dont hear much about fallen and broken wire. So i think we have to step up to the next level and look towards not just being acceptable, but to have the mindset of building railroading that is great and legendary. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller. Next speaker please. You have three questions remaining. Go ahead caller. Thank you supervisors. Im going to talk about three things. Five years ago a spacex rocket exploded shortly after takeoff. It was tracked to a tank inside the rocket. So the tests revealed that the trap for 10,000 pounds were failing at 2,000 pounds. Thats when spacex learned they could not rely on external and needs to test every component internally. So as muni performed tests on the remaining batch of failing splices and if not, why not . The second point is that the picture of the failing splice showed that it failed at this weakest point, which is the tread for the clamping bolt. So the failure of the splice could have been cured by an overtightening of the bolt and it resulted to the failure. So the question for muni is whether muni used specific bolt specifications to tighten splices and if not, why not . The last point is about subway cars is that Battery Technology has gotten to the point where a real train can travel up to 60 miles. So the question is whether the back ups can propel the train to the next station after a failure. Thank you. Thank you caller. Next speaker. You have two questions remaining. Go ahead caller, your two minutes begins now. Sure, i want to talk to give a little bit of history of tenth street light rail was originally supposed to go on jerry. They put it on church street. Prior to that, we had a bus that really provided the best type of service. Now the previous speakers have spoken about the difficulties and so on and so forth. In this long presentation, we had m. T. A. Experts who are in broad daylight. I said time and again that when we have this discussion, we need the union to give us their input. We need the drivers, the operators to give us their input. We dont get that. We no some people with a written agenda. Now would you want to build a light rail to the middle of nowhere. We dont need that light rail. It should have started at balboa through church street, going to downtown. So what youre doing is, the m. T. A. , you robbed the money from the taxi drivers, you steal the money from the federal government, and you did not deliver a sound service. So m. T. A. Is a failure. Even if biden wins, youre not going to get it. Thank you caller. You have one question remaining. Hello caller, your two minute begins now. Can you hear me now . Yes, go ahead. Its david, and i have several comments. This is exactly the kind of Transit Service policy discussion thats needed to address current challenges and i appreciate it. Two, the operational and passenger impacts and trade offs should be discussed, as well as cost and schedule here. Three, there should be one or more public town hall discussions about the subway shut down question because clearly it effects thousands and more than 100,000 prior subway riders. Four, i did not hear in the presentation if staff believes that the new l. R. V. 4 vehicles caused more stress on overhead wire and splices compared to the previous fleet. Five, on august 22, 2020, the first day of the rail restart, i did travel the system and i did not see that all of the overhead lights have been replaced and the subway stations or the subway station track and walls have been pressure washed to remove debris and grime. I ask that both of those things happen prior to the next restart. Six, we all had Difficult Conversations with chair peskin and i think its just a part of the public process. Thank you. [laughter] thank you caller. Are there any other members of the public for Public Comment on this item number 5 . You have zero Public Comments remaining. Public comment is closed. Madam clerk, can you please read the next item. Yes, item six, state and federal legislation update. This is an information item. Colleagues, given the length of this meeting and the fact that we still have the timma meeting ahead of us and the board of supervisors, would it be okay if we heard this item number 6 at our next meeting. If there is no objection, council do i need to make a motion to continue it or can i as chair, president , unilaterally continue item number 6 . This is chief deputy, you as chair may defer the item. All right, we will continue the item to our next meeting on the 22nd of december. Madam clerk, can you read item number 7. Program 4308164. 00 in prop aa vehicle Registration Fee funds to three projects and amend the 2017 prop aa strategic plan. Prop aa is a 10 vehicle Registration Fee. That funds transportation projects. Its small compared to prop k. It focuses on quick to deliver projects that provide tangible benefits. It can fund the design and construction spaces for the voter approved proposition over the 30 year life of the program. We ensure funds are allocated to a 50 , 25 , 25 split between the three categories of prop aa. So we released a call forren pros in june of this year, with the amount available split between those 30 categories i mentioned. There are large amounts available in the transit category due to the cancel muni metro enhancement phase two project that we discussed in june. We have the screening and prioritization criteria, which does place a heavy emphasis on project readiness and coordination. So getting into the recommendations, since we didnt receive any applications in our street repair categories, we recommend using the Funds Available to Fund Additional projects in the Pedestrian Safety category. This means that in the future, we need to Program Additional projects in that street repair category to make sure we meet that 50 requirement. Our first is joyce alley lighting which would install four pedestrian lights in joyce alley between clay and sacramento street. Its an alternative to walking on crowded sidewalks, which are on the high injury network. Given the lack of other funding options, were recommending fully funding this project. Pave street alley way would include six sidewalks, and the citys first raised intersection at buchanan street near the elementary. In order to make sure that both Pedestrian Safety projects can advance, our recommendation is to partially fund the project and then work to fund the remaining amount with prop k funds from the bicycle category that our program, in phase two of the project which hasnt moved forward yet. The transit category, we recommend fully funding the request, which would replace track and overhead wires between west and sunset boulevard. This is part of a much larger comprehensive project with everything from paving to stop optimization, new sewer, all that stuff. Because this property is project is ready to go, there are prop k funds contingent on the board approving them. And were not recommending funds for next generation united barrier project. We know upgrading it will be a priority with bart and we will work to identify funds so they can be admit in the future. With that, i can take any questions and we have project managers on the phone. Are there any questions from members on item number 7 . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on item number 7 . You have zero questions remaining. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Is there a motion to program this 4. 3 million made by commissioner preston. Commissioner preston and seconded by mar. Commissioner mar. On that motion made and seconded, madam clerk a roll call please. [roll call] next item please. Allocate 10645271. 00 and appropriate 60,000 dollars in prop k sales tax funds, with conditions, and allocate 3,664,159 in prop aa vehicle Registration Fee funds, with conditions for nine questions. This is an action item. More chair, can you see my presentation . We can. Great. Im hoping that my wifi holds out. Let me continue. The first request is from the caltrain agency. This is for funds that are in addition to the million 1. 3 million we have allocated to date for 180,000 to be added to it for a bridge rehabilitation project. This is to increase the safety and to reduce future Maintenance Cost of this bridge structure. The next question was in the enhancement project. So we were told this is not going to be available for the duration of this projects advertisement. We are recommending them on the project, prop k. The board approved 11 million in prop k funds for the property and project and allocate the 4 million that is being recommended as part of this allocation. The first of two projects from district one, this is the fulton Street Safety project and its for improved 3 miles along fulton street along the border of Golden Gate Park. These are recommendations that have stemmed from the project that was recently completed and were expecting that this work will be done by spring. Stockton, this is a signal upgrade or signal Infrastructure ProjectMunicipal Transportation Agency is taking advantage of the coordination opportunities to tag along to a curb ramp project that the Public Works Department is engaging in and this will work will require larger signal faces at these intersections. The Community Based transportation plan. This is the designed phase of some of the high priority recommendations that ematerierg from this Planning Project that was completed. It includes two rectangular rapid flashing beacons as you can see on your screen and an example of. And the locations, the universe of the list of locations that emerged as friethe planning pro and they will work to identify nine of those locations. The six street Pedestrian Safety project, this prop k request will leverage state grants and impact fees. This is really to transform the corridor, including widening sidewalks and new signals at stevenson, which are on alleys. Im looking forward to seeing that work come in. Shortterm bicycle parking. This is the prop k portion of the funding plan that the board approved when it programed transportation funds for clean air. This will be across the city. Members of the public can call 311 to request locations and if merchants are interested in bike parking car r corrals. Thats an opportunity as well. The funding request, you heard about this request during the c. A. C. Chairs report. There are no streets included in district 6 and 7. District 7 is not well requested. The m. T. A. And the tenderloin in the same manner as a slow street and requiring m. T. A. To identify slow streets or similar treatments in district 6 and 7. The improvements that are included in this request are more durable materials. These are flexible delineaters and signage, to indicate the shared nature of the street. The motion said this would replace the temporary barricades and implement measures on these streets that are shown in the enclosure. In response to the conversations at the c. A. C. , m. T. A. Has prepared a memorandum and we have distributed that memo to board members. Its also poested on our websit under this item. I do anticipate that there will be some discussion about this item so let me quickly present my last slide, which is for the golden gates travel study. This is at the request of commissioner mar and fewer, to convene Interest Groups and stakeholders to assess whether they will determine the with that, i can answer any questions. If someone would mute their dogs, that would be fantastic. All right. Are there any questions commissioner fewer . No questions, i just wanted to comment on the funding, thank you. Go ahead. Okay, im delighted to move forward this Sustainable Travel study. We seen how crucial access to open spaces for residents and i want to ensure that were looking at plans and access for the parks through an equitable lens. And to be able to access institutions that serve all visitors. We are fortunate to have this gem of open space, a stone throw away but i recognize Golden Gate Park is a citywide treasure as well. This study will aim to convenience our stakeholders in a working group, which bring a unique voice, advocates community organizations, business businesses adjacent to the park and thank you commissioner mar for your connections to golden gate factpark. The Traffic Safety project will bring changes to this high injury corridor in my district. Daylighting at intersections to improve visibility, a. This project will put people first. Seniors who cross fulton to access Senior Centers and families that cross to access the park. Thank you to Bicycle Coalition and my 1,500 neighbors who participate in this process, via surveys, audits, open houses to amplify the vision for a safer fulton street. Thank. Thank you commissioner fewer. Are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item . Sorry. Thank you for your patience, but the bridge is having a bit of a glitch. Were trying to fix it for Public Comment. Lets go to commissioner haney and then well go back to the phones. Commissioner haney, the floor is yours. Thank you chair peskin and thank you to sfmta staff. Hold on commissioner. Okay. [inaudible] go ahead commissioner haney. Thank you chair peskin. You heard at the beginning of the meeting in the overview of the c. A. C. Meeting that occurred that the concerns about the lack of slow streets in district 6 are very strong from the representative on the c. A. C. , danielle, as well as residents, organizations, leaders in district six and me and my office. They gotten to a level now whereas you heard the representative on the c. A. C. Actually called for defunding the street more broadly to be put on hold and on district six and seven as well. It included you know, i feel very strongly that we should have made a lot more progress in district six during covid with emergency responses on our street. We do not have slow streets in district six. We are being treated differently in many ways. We have an entirely different category of emergency Streets Program that exist in district six, but has also been inadequate. So, i want to ask the sfmta staff and i appreciate the memo that was sent this morning on this particular issue. If you could describe the next steps for district six as it relates to slow streets, either securing funding to make some of the emergency street changes permanent in district six. Its been difficult for us to be, to have a sense of what sort of changes are going to happen in district six when we have been excluded entirely from the slow Streets Program. So, i appreciate that and i have some rather than holding up the funding for the whole thing, which i say i am strongly supportive of the slow streets funds being released and for the program more broadly in other districts, but i do want to have a sense of how we will fix this for my district, which has a majority of the streets in district six on the high injury corridor. Good morning commissioners, and thank you commissioner haney. Livable streets director. So, we absolutely appreciate the unique needs of district six and appreciate your leadership commissioner haney. What we seen with slow streets specifically is that its one of many tools that we tried to use as part of our covid response. That particular tool may not be as applicable to a lot of the streets in district six. So where we have seen for instance a request for fulton street, we werent able to do that. We were able to move forward a play street there. And we can get to a very specific list. Id say it was probably around ten or so. A lot of those weve been able to supervisor haney ill follow up with a memo, if that makes sense. Perhaps, you can return with an update. I will support the funding for the polk street, as is, but i continue to share the concern about my representative from the slow Streets Program and the fact that were treated separately, but the way that were treated separately has been inadequate, as well. We would be happy to return at any time with an update on the district or the tenderloin mor
