There are many improvements we have made for safety San FranciscoSan Francisco and made San Francisco save for pedestrians and cyclists and fatalities have been trending down in San Francisco since 2013 traffic fatalities in the United States have shot up significantly over is last 5 years due to the rapid increase in average motorist behavior in all large cities in the country including in San Francisco and clearly we have not eliminate all traffic fatalities in San Francisco as we set out to do in year ago clearly we have enormous amount of work to do and were committed to doing that work in San Francisco but also in washington where prioritize the safety of people in at the expense of people outside of vehicles and committed to do that work in sacramento so legalize the safety tools in every developed country around the world. We will continue to use global best practices in evidence to guide our work our goal making sure our streets are safe for everyone and in deed they are comfortable and inviting and enjoy full. Thank you for your commitment to the vision zero and now id like to im going to turn it over to our staff starting with romero. Good morning, everyone. Okay. My name is romero the vision zero person and sfmta on behalf of the program manager. Ill give a brief overview for vision zero for the following month and followup with a brief update on the summary and give an update on the program. There we go laughter . First time. Um, so San Francisco um, is a city in the u. S. For the vision zero and back in 2014 will be the 10 Year Anniversary of adopting the vision zero policy. Our team is actually working on that 10 Year Communications where um, comparing vision zero pod cast we are working on the mayors and working on the 10 year perspective report to be released no april. And related to the 10 years vision zero our Team Starting in the spring will begin the process to vision zero community. Um, to define what the next phase of the streets in San Francisco and were going to included decisions and interviews and surveys we will collect the feedback and share that later on at a future meeting and in the meantime, we have exempts as listed on this slide. Um, we are going to install three three safe cameras and keep working on pedestrian bicyclist improvement on the remaining miles of the network and in parts of the city and concentration Downtown South of market and north of market and continue with the daylight to support sb 41 three and the safety treatment in the western edition and the tenderloin for 24 and 25 million we received through the safe streets and roads so 2023 our three three decrease in fatalities from 2022 as you can see on the map 2022 was a year that saw the most in the in the streets and but compared to last year in fatalities and was 55 percent decrease in the number of People Killed in Motor Vehicles and overall transportation mode pedestrians are are consistently the most frequent users and about 69 percent that Motor Vehicles like cars and trucks record the second highest by mode and representing did lower portion in the 5 years and not able zero bicycle fatal for the first time in San Francisco. Those coupled next slide are takeaways on the 2023 context and if you like to know more details please check the 2023 end of the year fatal report and transportation report will be released by the department in the coming weeks and so in 2023, way 24 percent less than 2023 the year that was adopt for 26 last year fatalities. And three three percent fewer traffic fatalities in 2022 and overall joseph mentioned traffic fatalities in San Francisco have been trending down and which is a different case than any other cities in the u. S. And for example, three of the citys four annual fatal to the occurred in the past 10 years with the Lowest Reported in 2017 and the other three in 2010 so to has so if we compare to others citys in the u. S. San francisco has the lowest number of bicyclist fatalities and for walking and commuters in the u. S. According to the league of american bicycle data if 2022 now a brief overview on this camera an update on behalf of the sfmta manager. And as requested were showing the three three cameras those locations were added through data driven was explained in detail at sfmta board of directors meeting of 2024 and will be presented to the board of supervisors in an upcoming meeting those three three proposed cameras will be enforcing speed and in 11 neighborhood district all data can be viewed on the Program Website sfmta. Org speed cameras and with that, transition to the next program. Good morning chair mandelman and other commissioners. My name is jan wong and im transportation and also the quick build project manager and the streets sfmta im here to provide the brief update about the progress of quick build projects and to give an overview of what we anticipate our work is for this particular Vision Zero Program in 2024. So quick builds are a key feature of the 2021 Action Strategy this is a program that was formalize in 2019 to bring some recognition for the body of work that is tends to be lower costs but still substantial just to be clear, those are the programs were doing that are not streetscape but we are trying to implement on the on the ground quickly and to move the model of iteration. I want to highlight a couple of projects here that have been recently submitted as was shared earlier in the um, in the updates. So just in time for the new season the third street quick build project um, was actually approved this month and this twoway bike way connection a new way to get to the ball park and press event to celebrate this i believe on, on friday as 11 00 a. M. At the park and we invite everyone to join us on that celebration. The second project i want to highlight is lake merced had a twoway bike way with pedestrian and bicycle improvements on the 2. 5 mile corridor between john deer drive and we have many more projects that are underway. Lincoln is in the project it is currently under construction and a few more are up for construction like germany relay and here have 7 more projects in the works and i want to acknowledge that is timeline here is subject to um, factors like repaving schedules that are 2ke6r78d by public works and outreach we develop those projects along the way. But roughly speaking trying to aim for one project. And here is just a round up of things to keeping our eye on that so lincoln and gerrero are the ways under construction. And the next project before the sfmta board 6 board of directors will be right by city college so the project team is gathering currently trying preparing for that. And a few projects that um, will have or has significant design and outreach in the spring include oak street and center and beach street. And for more information about each one of the efforts we invite you to check out our wetland that is sfmta. Org quick build. So in addition to the corridor projects we have a complimentary effort that is intersection with the quick build portal project with this applying quick build core treatments and all intshgsdz between the network mileage that have yet to receive an improvement and in total 19 intersection for the try to try treatment on the sidewalks and street light and limit lines and pedestrian head start 123458 timing and for Pedestrian Crossing times. And to barrier or layer on another set of improvements larger signal heads at um, selected locations. So for 21 percent of intersections have been assessed and complete as shown in the green um, wedge of the pie chart and the yellow is the 12 percent ever one hundred a plus intersections with work orders in progress or are sent to the operations crew for installation and working there the 67 percent and that concludes my updates ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for that and commissioner dorsey thank you, chair mandelman i have a couple of questions about um, the vision zero portion of this im not sure who wants to take this morning i got a notice from our text in chief nilson with an accident incident happened in, if you will, son someone was involved in a scooter and looking at the individual page on 95 section of packet. Where it is when we do um, statistics an image of a scooter are we counting scooters as bicycle im curious because of the maybe just a wrong choice but scooter. Actually separated multiple voices . Yeah. Not huff of do we keep that is essentially okay. I wondered because right now my understanding is that a person was on the scooter is in Critical Condition and gone to general, i know from my time in the Attorney Generals Office personal injury cases sometimes knowing that someone has an injury or a fatal dog barking and injury can be from bumps and bruise to lifechanging disability. I wondered whether to what extent might be helpful like checking cameras. Yeah. The data that we did fatalities on one side of and then placements of pain and generally yeah, all that data is separate. I might reach out multiple voices . So for more details on injuries and fatalities the department of publishes all that data will be there surprised in all the ways. No more questions for me but i appreciate the work getting flaw for the cameras. Thank you commissioner chan. Thank you, chair. I have questions about the slide 16 i believe online and the updated one indicating quick builds and trying to understand the color map i think that is green is the complete and the yellow in progress and then the red is remaining im trying to understand is this the 6 hundred and 26 intersections a sense of on that map and the progress through january 24th are you saying the remaining 67 percent will be completed in 24 or just the timeline. Our commitment in the last strategy is to complete all the 1 hundred plus intersections and those remaining are still not intersections were still working on the cameras and this year will complete those 67 percent um, of intersections. Because help me understand 21 percent completed this year is one hundred and 90 intersections will be completed by the first quarrel of this year. Yeah. Uhhuh. So your expectation that the remaining threequarters will finish the 67 something. Yeah. Okay. This year. 24. Sorry if i may through the chair the one followup that so is that all the quick build project we now have for the entire city or just for the 24. Yeah. Button corridor are 24. Anymore pending for 2024 not on the map for the timeline projects. Yes. For the projects i shared aim to complete this by 24 for the corridor projects we are encouraging working through our existing projects that are in the that pans across two slides. And we are in the process of identifying more were trying to learn from the lessons of these current and past projects and our selection of future projects. Help me understand do we have an understanding or deferred or backlogged on this vision zero. There is currently no backlog because all of our projects are are active and underway in the planning either as shown met current status we have a portfolio there are at different stages of theyre planning and have different scopes we are doing that work of working with Community Stakeholders and working with other partners on public works to help to deliver the actual improvements. If i could followup on that i know commissioner melgar thank you, whats the study for that chart of quick builds when did the work start . These projects um, have started i believe in fiscal year 2022. I believe this was part of the um, t nc tax allocation. That is june of july of 2022. Actually few. I mean this is not a thing walk sf has been asking me before for a while and sometimes have a lofty goal of lots of and lots of work with this deadline like you have to really peed up at that point to get to the end i think that is when commissioner chan this is so i mean one of two things can happen really, really good at that for the first 2121 percent the efficiency has enormously improved or racing against the deadline and they things on the ground and in 22 places am i my finding this. Oh, sorry multiple voices . No, no. Thats actually sound and thats exactly what im trying to ask the chair and. Thank you very much. This that 10u7b8dz there is a discretioncy so we have completed in the First Quarter of 24 or like completed in 2022 im trying to understand the pine chart slide 18 that is before us today for the 21 percent and this section how link did that take sfmta to complete that one hundred and 090 intersections with a type of finding when youll complete the 67 percent. I thought i heard a year and a half. Thank you. For clarifying the question. I see now that the question is in reference to the kept project and the pie chart one hundred and 90 intersections have been completed and assessed those are completed in quarter within one of calendar year 24. And how long do it take for the design to complete . I believe this is a span of um, roughly three months um, i think some intersections are um, can be addressed um, a lot for immediately and some intersections might take more work in terms of legislation in order to for example, implement um, perhaps a red zone for daylight might have to do legislation to remove a meter at the corner for example, and requires us to run that item through the legislation process that it takes time. But ill say that the overall work of the one hundred and 90 intersections that has been achieved around the span of three months in quarter one. Im really done commissioner chan may i jump on your question. There are a bunch of projects that are not on the pie chart youre showing us the pie chart of all the projects that have been done well have many more on the pie chart and making more progress in that time. Ill defer this question to my director kimberly down. Hi kimberly acting youth director two works happening on the quick build first, the quarter projects the 17 and table that jan was showing and the next time which we are doing in 24 and it is looking at nine hundred intersections we have 50 miles but because were unable to touch all we want to do core treatments that is daylighting and crosswalks and have longer walk speeds this chart is showing purple line the intersection which is approximately nine hundred intersections were able to address 1 3rd of those intersection we anticipate getting through all nine hundred intersections. As for the quarter project that is a program we had going on for 5 years and the 17 seeing a couple of fiscal years that it takes time through the progress and does that help to clarify. Were good. Thank you. laughter. and now i can get back to my engage. Im not sure but from a transparency something that your putting on sfgovtv the public will get out, get out it i think i know a couple of things about urban planning and transportation and im city confused what that means ill followup with you but saying, you know, in terms of the con having to the public before transparency that the people care deeply about we need to do more i understand youre, you know, just got into this position and like lets do it vision zero is important to a lot of folks i want to go back to something that was said earlier about no fatalities among cyclists, you know, this year because im not sure i was there at the memorial for the cyclist was killed we dont consider him on the federal land or what . Yes. So in 2023 zero bike fatalities on San Francisco streets unfortunately, there was a fatal last year but it was in the presidio not considered. It is convenience i mean like thats not okay to say that we need the have a fatal. Yeah. Okay. Ill let three one go. I am looking at the west side im the west side supervisor and im disappointed was not getting more of the cameras um, you know, i mean, we went back and forth with the install and particularly the high injury corridor in district 7 have three institutions San Francisco state and San Francisco state think 19 avenue, you know, caltrain jurisdiction but several interconnections along that, you know, high injury that we could look at cameras we have literally tens of thousands of students that go through that intersection on 19 avenue and we have had multiple injuries and fatalities id like to explore how we can do that moving forward. And then, of course, you know, carville that 12r5ir8dz our district the fatal on west on 19 avenue was on taraval like people see there too often and around ucsf at night the enhance to the county fairgrounds to the park and people are there all the time we had injuries people plowing into people standing to bus stop im a little bit frustrated in the process and i want to hear well expand that at some point and places we identified people standing and seated on the sidewalk i understand the west side is less right now um, so proportionately though the intersections are as dangerous im hoping to get attention on the west side. Yes. Absolutely as a Camera ProgramSan Francisco is only allowed to have three three locations we tired tired to figure out what has the highest number of people speeding we want improvement throughout the city as a private progress we are in the program for the locations youre identifying on the west side those are strong possibility multiple voices . Quick build my specifically ask was about the cameras. Yeah. Thank you. I know i know i thank you for it it is great um, but. Okay. So um, the last thing ill say this has been a tough week for us all. Um, you know, what happened on west portal just was the worst in the community is traumatized were three children going at the West Portal Playground and all the kids ran to the fence to see what was going on and i hope we im step it up and i think that mighting with challenges and admitting when we have done something and has not worked is it a really, really important part of making progress i hope we have the courage to do that thanks. All right. Thank you commissioner melgar and commissioner preston thank you, chair mandelman and for the presentations and all the work. This week is the tenth mayor pro tem of vision zero i think i appreciate the work going there to traffic fatalities and injuries it is also i think been clear to certainly to advocates and to all of us who feel strongly about achieving vision zero goals on track i dont think that is a surprise to anyone at the end of 10 years not which we havent had goals and a bit of a pet piece of for me, the government are not backed by leadership to actually chief them with the Housing Element and thats where we set a goal and 46 units more Affordable Housing for which no one in government has a plan to chief that and to some extent was achievable starting 10 years ago but we havent um, despite the progress on the block by block some of the improvements that weve seen we have not been making the kind of steps will get us to vision zero fatalities and juicer injuries you have a few questions for director temperature listen and trying to and had big successes in terms of funding locally to ramp up and especially the high injury areas but ask you a few questions a little bit more of a citywide perspective on the policies and first off the vision zero testifying that is, you know, a period where didnt meet very often and did a resolution at the board and the board unanimously urged us not to do those meetings they have started up again over the last year and said to find out from your proefshg on how those that is going . What is working . And or not working . In terms of that kind of increased coordination through the vision zero testifying. It up supervisor i think you, you know as well as i do the only way to achieve the goal through the ubiquitous collaboration police and fire and public health. Will dp w with the all the policymakers who helped us to balance priorities and bringing befsh everybody. Thank you. Director and in terms of the frequency and who is at the table in those meetings wanted to get our perspective and i see this in part having spoken with chair oakley in new york city for example, who really had the Mayors Office with the Mayors Office convening every two weeks on you get cases an vision zero and advocacy it is important to have that kind of leadership in the Mayors Office and identifying that and have the frequency coming together have quarterly meetings here about vision zero a Task Force Im curious in mta has approached the mayor and asked and whether the Vision Zero Task force should be reconvening more. The work of making that happen together that has happened through oneonone meeting are the key principals were trying to balance obstacles and the Mayors Office is the central of that particularly with a specific challenge were trying to revolve with another agency. Quarterly is the right frequency . Im further are separate one of the more Public Meetings the other is the oneonone problem solving work ill argue both are for the really, really critical work is the staff level work of resolving the conflicts delayed or smoking guns. Another topic no turn on red which done a resolution on trying to push for a little bit more citywide approach on that with the obstacles under state law that um, but, you know, have a perfect example why were spending enormous and time Additional Energy good evening intersection by intersection the board has spoken as a body did supervisors unanimously are supporting a policy not having a right turn on red with new york city and having that approach for years. That is mta board has not said anything on the board report is the staff is a couple of months overdue said to ask you about that and but the mta board um, to your knowledge agendizing or planning it weigh in we can have a more citywide approach on that issue. What were trying to do with vision zero to lead based on the data and use the data to allocate no turn on red is one component of large strategy we have completed the analysis of our tenderloin on no turn on red and have a draft plan for incremental expansion to make sure the data is the right investment and that will be going to our board soon. Oh, it just went oh, right, of course, went to the board on on friday . It went to our board and happy to provide you with more updates. Looking forward to getting a copy of that and glad that went to the board and um, another one really the last shown i want to ask you about it is the community plan, you know, again, i think we can often spent a lot of time on blocks and we do in our district; right . But functionally we have a comprehensive Citywide Network people can cycle and through the students theres a number of different iterations of that from the connections and that is back in 2014 i feel like we have mta the board of supervisors have been calling for this some of the Board Members have been calling for this im extremely disappoint and existed excited about the progress and the draft plan will be released in january and having final votes in may all of that got table and year later ill say from a really base level got it challenges along the way and dont for a second that that well, i i should say i know for a fact that that mta staff at least, you know, is a priority and want it staffed; right . It is i realized not necessarily mta solely responsible for that strikes we can he cant if we cant hold ourselves and have you hold all of us Mayors Office board of supervisors and the mta to moving forward in a timely way to finalize and adopt if plan like it makes me question the seriousness of achieving like vision zero even though we give it another tone years and we cant produce a map how to safely get around the city; right . Like what are we doing . Can you examine on the timing is there a new timeline or just fine it weve been asking for that for a while and the project is not on ice the plan is one of my Top Priorities for my work at the agency that is essential be at least one way walking and biking and scott for mobile devices from their neighborhood to every other neighborhood in San Francisco not only safely but joy fully in other words, for one of the challenges learning from the failures of our past work where we have tried to impose youre thinking about the neighborhood and it is essential that the ideas of the community streets arise from the community and that work takes a huge amount of time in order to get done respect or right we would like to collaborate with every single one of you here to help us to get Community Agreement about what the network looks like and what are the tools that are appropriate for Community Needs and happy to provide you with important detailed updates. Right . I think that is the whole idea of adopting a draft map and having a period of time for the feedback and i believe strongly should be 7, 8, 9 for that we cant do that meaning fully; right . A bunch of backroom meeting wherewith staff a new data for the mta staff can present to the board or to the public a draft map of the Citywide Network . It is one weve been asking and asking for years. So again having that map come of us rather than codeveloped with the Community Becomes quickly an obstacle for our ability to listen our goal to not have the wellintentioned people at the mta possess a map for community but rather work with the community not behind closed doors but in public sessions in the community particularly in the neighborhoods that have been most impacted so were and simultaneously like the fact that the plan is not finished not holding up the fact from implementing brokerages there is unintelligible so the engine that is speeding the next round is the process of the active community plan. We are building their planes while flying their planes we want to deliver on the work as opposed and letting the neighborhoods sensitive take the time it is necessary in order to get the census helps to drive the speed that is where our projects gets bogged down. Im not hearing i dont want to outofpocket put word in our mouth but no feedback for the neighborhood but no timeframe to im sorry, i didnt come here prepared more than a presentation id like to consult with the team and to learn more before exactly about the timeline. Okay. But my understanding we have eagerly awaiting if there is a new update for the timeline were unaware of that i think that is i will conclude an example not lack of work i know your teams are out there and with the building blofkz future networks and there are is a census but recognize some of the communities that um, have historically had planning done upon the community not with the community and also which people are high a Injury Network and horrible Planning Decisions resulting in high speed areas through vehicle traffic and residential neighborhoods have the High Injury Network unfortunately, in those same neighborhoods and i think we need to recognize this the no fault position not having a timeline it is disproportionately with the delays due so do the consultation we need to do and happy to partner with that in the areas certainly in our district. Um, and want to thank you for your work but want to just create more of a sense and i believe i shared this wanting more of a sense of urgency and really demanding that from the board from the ta and just think some of the things citywide policies need to deliver safer streets and with the goals we have got to be more bolder about setting the timeline and demanding it. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner preston i have a lot of questions for the director and unless some of my colleagues pops in the queue. But i mean, im looking at that chart of deaths and um, i take, you know, followed by a slide, you know, has in my view it is a little bit around the data that shows progress. And director temperature listen you made the statement there is a 24 percent fewer fatalities than the year before the adoption. Three three percent compared to 2022 and i eyeballed looked at the chart it kind of looks like all over the place and i dont see a clear timeline it strikes me can you talk about what this chart shows not the progress we want but progress and i think i have heard that the serious injury data is that kind of also tells a story didnt look like things are getting worse in serious injuries but looks better but gavel i wonder if you can talk about how we think about that. You clearly dont think that is whacked you think this looks like some progress but not enough. multiple voices . Thoughts. Ill let the team of experts i need to one of the things i want to acknowledge quickly given by commissioner melgar said we walked to the president to be fully transparent with the data we cant do anything to solve the problem unless were honest about ourselves and the public and limitation in the deck because of timeline we were given on the board vision zero subcommittee the last step you presented had one hundred slides just on the data. So we would be delighted to give you the data including the trends that become more visible we look at those concerns one of the reasons any opened my presentation with the phenomena we have experiences for that the last fouryear of traumas increase in the extreme motorist behavior is that that reality is driving a lot of the data we had a huge increase in motorist and Motor Vehicles driving at high speeds like 50 Miles Per Hour above the speed limit and running into a fixed object and dying your Transportation Authority didnt have the tools alone to tale with that. One of the learnings we had is in order to move forward for the next 10 years we need to think differently about how we evaluate what is the problem that we actually have some capacity to solve at the Transportation Authority and where should we focus our resources. So um, similarly we are struggle with the reality of policy of not blaming the victim and yet oushz the increase in people doing very unsafe things on our streets and surfing as a result of that is is a topic we struggle to deal with at transportation professionals and focus on the data so um, and as a result we dont present on those realities good enough but it is driving much of youre thinking and see the patterns more starkly in cities like los angeles have a huge increase in fatalities over last 4 years were damming ourselves with injuries like Holding Things flat with fatal gone a modified decrease but that is making us an outlier we talk about the problems at the federal level that makes the United States the grossist outlier in all the world almost every country on the entire planet is reducing of times we were the ones in which they dramatically increased and were responsible as a matter of national policy. So i can go on but all this to say yes, we are we need to be fully honest about the data in order to solve the problem and happy at in time to give a much longer presentation. The question whether the serious injury data were looking at that in july, you know, w would show us about trend were talking about this morning. Yeah. So i think yes by it only tells the story when you start looking at the factors in the Police Report we do look like. All the stuff outside of our agencies control i look my colleagues we are continuing our conversation with the Police Department with Traffic Enforcement on april 25th had 6 the serving commissioner wardlow and continue to ask them where they are in terms of that. Thank you. Thank you, director and now communication if youre in the chamber and like to talk to us about item 8 come forward. Hello. Hello. unintelligible . Dont ask you learn that you just you go back to school you feed to go back to school and figure out how to have all the data we hear and anything we hear is all unintelligible so why looked at vision zero vision zero did not exist with the timeline. Just need to not zero this is clearing throat and not to say a wellknown vision zero is yes, so everybody is confused we have to stop being confused feed to rise enough. The more you wait the more urging to have to pay. Because urging to pay no escape so im here to give you, youre in jail but dont shout your way i become thieves. Good morning chair mandelman im jody and this week marks the tenth anniversary of vision zero with the Traffic Related Fatalities and serious injuries and last week our city experienced a horrific accident including babies and others have died in 2024 and every 14 hours an average severely injured with cars and trucks that are Deadly Weapons especially on the threat of large vehicles and Challenging Solutions to protect us with the Vision Zero Coalition we outlined a letter of the successes of the past 10 years we have to acknowledge 46 years for bike lanes and other 20 miles of priority and several new cars on the streets and program plus lower the speed limits to 44 Miles Per Hour the first city in the country to receive three three sorry in california not the country and all elements are making our streets safer but the city is not doing this at scale we need to recomment to vision zero and get bell ringing the funding and full authority needed Traffic Safety is a must safe streets make our streets heat any and vibrant. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners good morning sorry tom with liveable city. Um, as director tumlin said the United States is an outlier seeing a huge spikes in deaths and injuries in the United States. Month other criticize are for criticize unintelligible this is the United States phenomenally and the question is good didnt feel good but i think that is important to look at the cities that are achieving some cities are getting vision zero and close to it have is an endeavor an approach better than that us but we dont do fwrekcy i think of triage transition transformation; right . Trying to make change and a lot of field and intersection daylight those are the trial judge in those cities dont use unsafe street designs. And in an environment with people walking and Crystal Clear one way streets; right . All offer selma and the tenderloin and downtown you look at the high injury map most of streets on that have one way streets and years ago bell ringing but we sacrificed the safety and health and vitality of those neighborhoods for traffic we need to undo that other its cities we have plans think i was on the west selma plan and unfortunately, three plan was ignored so you feed to invest in the transformative project and asking people bell ringing . Thank you. Lets see if we have any remote Public Comment. Going to the first caller. Hello caller gun speaking few. Thank you hello commissioners im michael im a resident of district 8 in San Francisco. Um, and this is to director tumlins and sfmta still didnt seem to recognize that achieving vision zero is a systemic problem and Needs Solutions but director tumlin said at the end of the Public Comment fatalities were driven by a shatter increase in dangerous behavior the driving is the problem and threelegged stool and designed for drivers focus and not safety we want to achieve vision zero Pedestrian Safety we need to be sister technically we have bandaid solution of certain points on the High Injury Network and not thinking what has to happen on the city level to achieve those goals i want sfmta to be honestly what it takes to achieve this.

So we greatly appreciate the support providing us with political cover and supporting our efforts when we republic both opposition with different and the second we need to be able to fund those projects the loss of proposing a in 2022 cut 40 million a year out the Capital Budget and were exhausted all the allocation bonds and currently back to the voters in november of 26 this is the at the same time that were hoping to come to the voters with a refill measure to deal with our 200 and 40 million annual operating deficit so helping to be able all of the citys desire funding priority and many i dont envy you thats to allocate the resources in San Francisco for the critical needs but in order to get to Street Construction we have to have funding in order to do so. Thank you director tumlin.
