Com another miscellaneous item i thought ill share with you in order to try to get folks throughout our large agency to kind of better understand the aspects of the agency but we held a Transit School kind of a boot camp for folks inside of the agency to essentially 0 better understand how the muni transportation is managed and operated this is something our transportation director john haley put together for his own staff based on positive feedback we see the tour the course and tours to put other staff through that so other staff and agencies who are directly or indirectly supporting the operations like revenue or through communications or street design or Traffic Management can understand how the whole system works so it is something that well be doing more of kickoff inspire divisional coordination across the agency something that is wellreceived im sure to the future courses maybe well see what we can do to get you in and finally i wanted to give you some updates on funding i spoke i know at some length at the last meeting giving an update on the federal budget that was not be super encouraging news and no new news on the federal budget as president proposed fiscal year 2018 skinny budget will come out in early may if there is still the requirement of congress to extend the 2017 year budget in september the current you sthoorgs goes for another 3 so, so were hopefully, there is be a budget exception and not shut down of the government and extends the extension for the full fiscal year and fully fund all the pieces of the federal budget that are destined for San Francisco by our may meeting certainly ill know more what happened there so no new or great news and federal level but at the state level i mentioned we were hearing the making of a deal underway for a transportation package that the governor called for back in the summer of 2015 well the great news last wednesday the governor along with the speaker of assembly and the Senate President pro tem and other Legislature Leader with the Transportation Committee announced a deal to shape and fund the states will Transportation System this is something they were working with with the two Committee ChairsCommittee Member frazer a long road but exciting it is 5. 2 billion plan a year thats proposed to be raised from a combination of different sources including gas and diesel excise tax taxed on top of that authority a new transportation fee based on the value of vehicles ranging from 25 to one and 55 depending on the value of the vehicle and one hundred dollars on zero emission vehicles for the roads as well altogether that and other things 5. 2 billion half will be dictated to the state how and Transportation System and half will be going to local government for streets and road and transit and the transit wasnt part of discussion for all of the negotiations and i know that senator wiener and others working hard to get transit in the mix so it would this package if passed will provide an annual stream of funding for street paving in San Francisco as well as for transit for repair as much as you recall from our previous efforts we identified a significant ongoing deficit this will help and the money from formula and some of the money will go into Grant Programs well be eligible to compete for it is significant the big hurdle it requires as revenue measure twothirds vote in each of the two houses that a tall order the governor called for this to be done a month or two ago by thursday that passed out of committee on monday the governor himself for the first time in 3 years went to the committee to pass this on behalf of the campaign and investing his minded and capital it is possibly coming up for a vote this coming thursday in both hours and again not a slam dunks twothirds but were hopefully and encouraged the outline for the pipeline ask strong so thats great news on the state front and locally want to let he knows youll be presenting an update to the board of supervisors Government Audit Oversight Committee are tomorrow morning on the status of general Obligation Bond for 2014 and really an opportunity to talk about the overall capital plan and one of the concerns that has been raised is that the project that are not moving as quickly as we like them to and frankly were optimistically when the bonds passed but our clearing to the transit and obviously we found this there is a lot more work on our part to with the neighbors weve talked about with taraval one example to make sure we have consensus to move forward at the same time, we have a copy of presentation we have a story to tell in terms of cooperation of our Capital Improvement so well have an opportunity to serve the public and ill end there and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you very much director reiskin the 7th street bike lanes tom maguire stopped to watch the orchestra on the green painted the people if the paint shop were getting it ready and exciting to know that the type of projects that people are loovd to i will plug the Transit School for for division visits with tom maguire it is amazing to find out more what goes on i have transit shop stickers for everyone ill pass that out we can enjoy those and visited the octavia open space on saturday it reminded me what an appetite if the public for open space i look at the space and thought would those people be here if they didnt have a spot so sit down and without enjoying the sunshine it was fun and directors any comments. Director. I noticed the construction on van ness and the cones were out there and the traffic has best practices de1re6rd that is wonderful to see the projects moving forward it also occurred i suspect that the boulevard itself will be safer to cross for pedestrians and the traffic is slowed down frustrating for some drivers but it will be an interesting idea to keeping an eye how that unfolds and kaupg the streets by reserving the lanes for traffic and even with the Implementation Phase will be interesting to keeping an eye so look for new construction going on you were mentioning that the good news to keeping an eye and talk about that later and analyze it in the future how it made for a safer corridor but i hate to say closing the streets for cars and instead opening for faster more reliable traffic. Thank you imagine from the directors brother i go to Public Comment. Do i have Public Comment. One member of the public tops on by mr. Reiskin herbert weiner. Two minutes please. Herbert weiner i find it extremely offensive with the walk to work on the fourth of this week on the posters were printed in the record depicted people on crushes and a person in a wheelchair really expect people in that condition not to take Public Transportation to work that is a cruel slam at the seniors and the disabled and it is very cruel and the your Agency Signed on to this two weeks ago i requested that those signs be pulled if Public Transportation which has not occurred i contacted the walk San Francisco and got back a denial of my concerns and the statement that i was extremely rude and offbase i included other comments as my criticism of walk San Francisco this is a man and woman attitude he resent is another thing about taraval seniors and will disabled are kicked theyre expected to walk a water quarter of a mile to a bus stop it is Public Policy and sadly reflected on this agency youll continue until something comes our way as far as im concerned, mta is mortar it is your ahead. Mr. Weiner. Mr. North america must. Mr. Reiskin mentioned the budget for transportation and depending on that budget talking about those roads problem and creating the contacts why . The money already collected by the up state actually, their working towards other directions the streets of San Francisco theres no ward word to say within one single block one thousand patches their worse than a thirdworld country their super worse if you have a brand new car you can destroy your car within 3 to 6 months with sharps and engine the way the cars jump on the streets of San Francisco it is vail is gone down a junkyard of costs i read many that for part four not reading theyll cover the roads this money should not be in given because the people sitting on the top a make the backdoor deeds but this money should not be given 9 billion and this city has the roads like gold but unfortunately, the worst roads i can imagine the people with disability and other people in the taxis the car jumps not the car the road is jumping thank you very much thank you thats the last person to address you on matters with director reiskin. Thank you move on.
