At our april meeting, the cac voted in support of the allocation of prop l funds for the greenway and prop level a funds for the stop signage enhancement program. Members were glad to hear that all enhancements will be completed and were hopeful that the any signage inventory will help with more timely signage updates in response to future service changes. We also adopted a motion of support to program up to 5. 2 million in sta county grant funds for paratrance its, bart elevator and Treasure Island electric Ferry Service. As in previous meetings, members expressed interest in seeing the bart Elevator Program expanded and also asked whether the agency had considered bringing the b attendance staff positions inhouse. Several members had questions on whether committing funds to Ferry Service at the point make senseak as the vessel has not bn procured and the service will not start until 2026. Were happy with staffs explanation. We received a presentation on the preliminary fiscal year 2024 2025 fiscal year. There was significance around sb1031 particularly on the issue of funds used for highway widening. Members asked about highway wide expng other amendments to the bill.

And we have mark wats our sacramento advocate joining remotely and amber crabb we have here. Thank you chair and commissioners for having me here today. Staff is not recommending new bills at this time and thats largely because the first order ofrd business for deadlines is passed and bills vn to the Appropriations Committee and that many mark some activity in the coming week or two. Just as a reminder in the legislative process, last friday was the release of the governors main revision. Im sure youve had plenty of information provided to you on that note. N may 17th this coming friday is the deld line for fiscal committees to actca on any bills that are in their possession. So, as i alluded to, the bill that have been moving along, the policy committees in appropriations that are on suspense will be dealt with either on thursday or friday of this coming week and there is a lot of being tift on potential amendments activity on potential amendments to the bills at this time. The week of the 20th to the 24th, that will be forsession only and during at that period there will be no Committee Meetings of Standing Committee nature. They will be moving bills attempting to move bills through the next highways in both cases. Thats where we are on the legislative process. In terms of the impact of the governors budget and i guess i missed announcements today. There maybe a live update on the amount of the deficit in the budget. But its still in the 70s, they worked on a reduction of the deficit by 17 billion. Disb this bill was signed and the may revise was on saturday. The active Transportation Program is receiving another 300 million reduction in 25 26 budget here and 99 milliondollar reduction in 26 vsh 27 year for birls appropriated for active transportation grants. There ista a freeze on Transportation Programs using general fund money in the last couple of years. I think well see that freeze loosen up as we get closer to the june 15th deadline for budget actions. Probably the most significant change in the state budget transportation was another half a billion dollars from the general fund that was appropriated having that shifted to the Greenhouse Gas reduction fund. Ed there is aed total of a billion3 be proposed. That does not mean the million is gone but its shifted out for another year. There has been modest moneys that the governors rind revision proposed. That would conclude my prpks for today and i think well be working closely with staff as the suspense files in both houses come beforeis next week or later this week. Thank you, mr. Watts. Thank you very much. Good morning chair and commissioners. Imsi going through four bills that currently are on our support or support seeking amendments list. Again, as mark noted, were not going to ask for any change in that position, just providing an update on the many things that happened. First the tremendous Autonomous Vehicle bills. Om theyre in the committee of origin and theyve had amendments since last recorded. First is it senate bill 917, previously it wolf required a jurisdiction in advance of starting commercial deployment. Thats been changed to more of an optin, it requires local jurisdictions to adopt an ordinance governing how abs are deployed. The second there are two a Assembly Bills that weve been actively engaged with the authors. First is sb 1777. Thats the most extensive of the three that were supporting. It addresses a number of different provisions including newdi requirements around interactions with first responders, how enforcement is managed with Autonomous Vehicleses and dealing with what data needs to be collected in order to evaluate and monitor performance. Assembly bim focuses on data and sinceat we recorded to this committee is last, the Assembly Member have taken some amendments to align with what we requested be included in the bill ab1777. For all three bills, a major concern that has been flagged by Committee Staff is primarily around cost and so, any additional cost to the state in the budget situation is going to be very challenging to move forward. E irw think were working again wh the assembly authors to try to look for Cost Reduction measures in language if they get out of the assembly Appropriations Committee on thursday. So then, fourth on was bill 1031. In is senator wiener and senator hobs bill for options for authorizing a regional transportation revenue measure including manage 789 provisions. An amended version of the bill would be in print on april 14th and addressed the amendments that we were seeking noted in the board materials. The bill has passed out and is currently in senate appropriations. At the Transportation Committee there was a term sheet that included amendments that would prohibit mtc for placing amendments on the balance limiting the tax to 30 years and if a sales stacks perceived, limiting it to half a percent. Those were appropriate into the bill yesterday and put limits on Commission Funding as well as update the transportation consolidation language to allow them to enhance coordination or consolidate or both. There could be more more flexibility there. Were supportive of any language, however, were seeking amendment to ensure that transit operators are represented on any government structure on Regional Committee or body. Unfortunately, at the mtc Legislation Committee on friday, the executive director noted that the status of the bill is extremely careless. Basically there are currently more agencies in the reasonable opposing the bill than supporting it can. So, the most significant opposition is coming from the south bay but there are a number of other airgt sis concerned with the direction the bill is going. We under if it gets out of the senate, there will be more amendments moving forward in the assembly. Well continue to be working withng mtc and the two author to support them in crafting a bill that can be supported across the bay area and support doubts and concerns. That ends my report. Im happy to answer any questions. R. Mandelman thank you for that. Thank you. R. Mandelman yes. Extremely careless. It was very r. Mandelman jarring 37 thats a good word for it. Let veas comment on this item. Lets have comment on this item. Good morning. Any language starts with simplifying everything. You cannot treat agents with [indiscernible] the script you are reading is full of [indiscernible] you need to understand everything. Stop, because it means you dont know what youre doing. You keep going on this [indiscernible] r. Mandelman i dont see anyone else in the chamber coming forward. Lets see if we have any remote Public Comment on item 4. We have remote Public Comment. Im going to the first call now. Hi caller, your two minutes begins now. Hello, this is Michael Petrellis calling in. I want to speak on the bill introduced by matt haney. Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicle incident reporting. I feel this bill is very necessary along with all of the amendments. There isnt enough gathering of incidents and accidents involving these driverless vehicles on the streets of San Francisco. I think the Companies Owning these driverless vehicles have a lot of information not only on accidents but also on usage and how long the rides went, how much money theyre maching from the rides. I. Think that as you move forwad supporting this matt haney bill, that the supervisors need toll ask for as much information as possible from all of the companies with these driverless vehicles on our streets and share that information on the web with the public. Its going to be crucial that will it be easy to find whatever information is gathered and shared. Thats what i would like to say today. Thank you. Clerk thank you caller. Moving on to the next caller. Hi. Hi caller. Your two minutes begins now. Good morning chair mandelman and members of the comiet. You have some good news and not so good news. Yesterday morning the appropriation meeting [indiscernible] whichal is what you know most bills go to die. Hopefully this is not one of them. I would like to bring to your attention that the individual who was behind is opposed to is Assembly Bill 71 has died [indiscernible] thank you. Clerk thank you caller. Is there is no additional Public Comment. Public comment on item 4 is closed. Thank you, mr. Watts and miss crab. Call next item. Item 5 allocate 140,000 with prop l funds with condition and am kailtd prop aa funds for two requests. This isen action item. And for this item we have the principal transportation planner. I should be able to see my slides now. First prop l request is for 140,000 for design of the golden gate greenway project to reconfigure golden gate avenue to make more room for public space, reconfiguring the wires. Them project aims to create a carlike public space with programming and partnership with the Tenderloin Community. This specific design scope that were talking about here today would focus on the overhead wire system, coordination of puc, parking and curb changes and parking plans. Its been taken place woilt the tenderloin with a number of grieps. And wanting to receive a federal grant for the golden gate greenway project. The prop l would provide future allocation to match that will federal grant. Next is a federal fee request to update the signs that have updated customer information. New routes will include information at every rail and rubber tire stop. There willen lanterns at rapid and frequent lines and other locations where possible. Theyll be prioritized. The work will be completed citywide line by line except for students to update signage as other priorities arise. There is a request form as well as lines being updated and they expect full scope will be completed by december 2027. With that, i can take any questions on this item and we have project managers available 37 thank you, mr. Pick ford, commissioner preston. Thank you chair mandelman and mr. Pick ford. I wanted to speak on the golden gate greenway allegation. Last year we worked with the ta and community to ensure that were dedicating prop l funds to move the golden gate greenway project forward. Thank you for your support of that initial funding. We later learned as mr. Pick forld referenced, were proud to announce we received funding from the federal safe streets for all grants and that funding is being specifically dedicated to reducing golden gate avenue on this block from two lanes of traffic to one and reconfiguring the overhead wires and relocation of fire hydrants and so forth. As excited as we are for the federal money to come in, we know that federal funding comes a little slower and the process can be slower. And requires our on going diligence to facilitate and receive it those funds and get them out the door. This item thats beforeis in the interim really reflects collaboration from our office to ta and the mta and community to secure funds through prop l for this design phase for the golden gate greenway thats been described and the funds will support a site survey which will inform the design and help prioritize long term capital changes that are envisioned for the area. I appreciate the collaboration your office is in touch with mta every other week to emphasize the you are jen jensy. Theyre tired of hearing from us but we keep reminding everyone the urgent need to move forward on this. In particular, i want to thank kimberly and tanya from mta and thank you anna and mike pick ford for all their work with our office and the community to ensure that these funds are dedicated and i would be remiss not to mention the strong support from the cac for the golden gate greenway. This will remain a pop priority from our office to do Everything Possible to expedite and make the vision of the golden gate a reality in the heart of the tenderloin where we need pedestrianfriendly green space. So i want to thank you and urge support for this allocation today. Thank you. R. Mandelman thank you commissioner preston. Its open for comment on this item and see if there is anyone in the chamber. Is this project about following the vision zero . It means what youre talking about . You doesnt know . You have no vision. So go ahead. When are you going to understand that youre going to destroy this with your lack of vision. There is no zero [indiscernible] r. Mandelman next speaker. Thank you all and im happy to speak that vision. Im the project manager for the golden gate greenway here on behalf of st. Anthonys that is spearheading the project. The golden gate greenway continues to be a Fair Community vision. Outline the 100 block of golden gate and that includes four children and Youth Service organizations st. Bon fast and st.
