Diy street changes being done by an organization in San Francisco and i know there is such a public appetite for Street Safety and while we are diligently working through all of these things i think that the d i y st. Changes are removed from sf mta gets a bit confusing for people so maybe we could get a memo on that and answer specifically some of the email questions that come to us. I just feel that we sort of open to the public to explain how street changes go through and why we would like to see them go faster, what is our policy in terms of the need to go through the process in order to make sure were not only kidding everybody safe with our not leaving ourselves exposed to lawsuits and making the right changes in the right place on our schedule. Members consent will ask director reiskin to come back and report on those items. Ms. Boomer item 7 directors report. Good afternoon members of the chair and numbers of the Board Members of the staff here at. I want to give you a vision zero update. Largely this month focusing on bike lanes. Some good news to report on a number of fronts. First, 4 valencia st. And this is a relatively small section down south of cesar chavez between duncan and save up cesar chavez we will soon be installing the second raised bicycle lane good we have one as you know, a short talk on Market Street between 12 and golf that we did as a pilot with a different geometries. We will be installing our second one down on valencia south of chavez as part of a larger project. I think we may have presented to you at some point that Mission Valencia green project which is led by the puc was doing some storm water treatments as well as a new plaza. Some greenery and other things and this is on the stretch of lancia largely from shop is down to mission. But this second bike lane relatively new here get used in other parts of the world so everyone knows it raises the bike a couple of inches above the pavement so its kind of a partly step between the pavement and the curb to provide more spatial protection and more visible protection for cyclists. Really, for everybody its much easier to see if youre driving or walking as well. So we should have this project done later this month. Until then the bike lane is available for folks to read but the design will change once the construction is done. We do want folks to use extra care during construction but exciting to see this going in as part of this larger project which will make that area a lot nicer and be a whole lot safer which is great. Next on turk street in the tenderloin this is going from mason to poke we will soon be putting in a parking separated bike lanes could this is just months after the first bike lane in the tenderloin when in numbers on golden gate. This project went through a public hearing last month largely with favorable comments and this will essentially be bike lane that is along the curb. We painted it green should you be separated from the moving traffic by a parking lane. Though very much protective biplane and the work will start this winter. We are considering this to be near terminal implements because theres a longer term turk Street Safety project we will continue to work with the community to fully design and finalize and bring a recommendation to you but this interim step will be important easy win for us to make cycling in the structure of the tenderloin much safer in golden gate is one way east. This is one white waistcoat so complete a couplet as well. Just for reference, we do have a few parking protected bike lanes in the city though not that many get we are obviously the one folks know about in Golden Gate Park on jfk drive as well section the 13th and 13th st. And not too far from here. Pastry in the marina and this last block of cold streak at this one on turk will add to the repertoire. Overall, 27 miles of protective buffer bike lanes have been built in the city over the past six years. This one will add to that. Just a little bit south of there, this isnt right per se but it helps for the bicycles and everyone on the street. Our signal shop did great work on seventh and eighth streets to put a larger signal heads in at 12 locations along seventh and eight in the last three months and this was in part to follow the mayors more recent executive directive on bike and Pedestrian Safety which directed us to get nearterm improvements in the ground on seventh and eighth get larger signal heads make it less likely people will run red lights. Obviously red light running is one of the leading causes of serious and fatal collisions in the city so anything we can do to make that less likely to happen is important. This again is just kind of a step forward on larger work that were planning for seventh and eighth streets and this is pretty much the lights for seventh and eighth and so the market will be bringing larger proposals later this year early next year for seventh and eighth street. The great work on our shops to get all of those signal heads i enlarge. The last vision zero item back to Golden Gate Park, the executive directive that i referenced earlier, also, specifically called out Golden Gate Park and jfk drive in particular. As you know we do of the parking protected bike lane on the eastern part of jfk but on the western part we do have folks that are driving quite a bit above the speed limit. Our safety get it shows 79 mi. h above the 25 mile feet limit during the day and even faster during the 19 people are using our part as a thruway and highspeed one at that. Despite last weeks rough weather, our staff and public works crews start to lay asphalt for nine new forums and one raised crosswalk on jfk. So this is all in the western half. He look like the weather is clearing so we should be able to continue working this week. As with the other two, this is an interim step so this is relatively modest number of speed humps to calm traffic on that stretch of jfk while we work with park and rec and all the stake holders of Golden Gate Park on a much broader look at the park and how to make it safer for all four parkgoers, for anyone who is driving, biking and walking their. As you know there are roads in jfk that are very much used as thruways commute routes which is not of course with the park was built to do. So anyone who is interested in participating in the conversation, we do have a Community Open house coming on saturday, december 3 at the county fair building from 10noon. We encourage folks to come and participate and help us work with park and rec to make the park safer. Last thing i want to mention good news on the transit side. The reports that weve got on the cold valley shuttle from the known is that the way shuttle, until we realize nobody knows where the way is come up purported and very very positive and i think i mentioned this at the last Board Meeting we reduce assets for overcrowded trains by around 60 . Really a very market difference from the folks in coal valley and the divorce triangle the lower haight try to make their way in the mornings. So based on that success we will be be introducing another Shuttle Service and this will serve the main line of the subway. So folks particularly at west portal forest hill and castro and turk that often get past up in the morning have relief coming starting next week. The relaunch of the shuttle will be running both in the morning commute hours and in the afternoon hours and we are able to do this because we have been increasing our focus on maintenance of the vehicles for long time we although we had the demand for the service we have not had the vehicle availability or the operator availability to be able to do this. Because we have been focusing on increasing the reliability of vehicles so we have more of them in service on any given day, and because we continue to work on training new operators as rail operators, we are now able to have this new service on the rush hours. We have not really run this kind of Shuttle Service in a couple of years except for special events. But anyone who passes through that area in the morning and im often one of those folks, often cant get on the train were seized j castro and church get on the train. Its great news that this will be ramping up just as we are getting ready to see our first new light rail vehicle come into the city could hopefully at the end of this year and this work just really complements all the things that we are trying to do given the constraints we have two approve improve the service for the hundred thousand people were more work are riding on the rail system each day. So thats what i have. Happy to take any questions be was thinking. Questions, comments . Anybody else speak with members of the public width i havent received a speaker card and i see no one headed this way or looking interested in addressing it im sorry. Director tried heinicke has something follow up on a question. Just a followup on an issue we talked about would increase service and the Shuttle Service which i know you been announced both the doorway with a cold but also theres been some discussion that the castro shuttle and a senior morris west portal shuttle. Could i just get some clarification on what the new Shuttle Service to the twin peaks tunnel approaching the twin peaks tunnel is . The second question i have is whichever it is, where at the car is a car turning . Yes. We were initially looking at a castro shuttle but looking at the ridership were some of the past ups are, the shuttle is going to go out the aligned to tara about and the second is where its going to turn around. Im not sure what we are going to call it yet but oh pickup not just west portal forest hill but itll pick up the inner part of the l line from 22nd st. 22nd ave. In that will be a twocar shuttle isom . It will have 21 car shuttles okay but not regard to one car shuttle in theres a switch back at 22nd. It across 19th switch and in return bequest correct very good. Item 8 citizen advisory commits oh report the chairman is not here today so theres no reported item 9 Public Comment. Opportunity for the members to address the board. [calling Public Comment cards] good afternoon. Thank you very much for the opportunity speak here today and i want to share some of my thoughts about naming the New Chinatown subway station. My name is chrisi live in tiburon. Ivanoff is up at for several years in chinatown at the corner of pine and grant streets. I consider chinatown to be one of the real gems of San Francisco. The reason i feel that way is because the culture, the people,. Everyone was there its a real community. I treasure it. I am also a following gong practitioner, doing the meditation for nine years. Because of this practice i personally got to know fall people were persecuted in china or family members who are persecuted in china including peoples family members were killed in china as a result of the illegal persecution in china. Many residents in addition to that, many residents of chinatown who are not following gong petitioners have also fled communism and whats going on in china. Theres a lot of people in chinatown who even if theyre not following gone practitioners are very thankful to be safe in the united states. I will add this. The entire community of chinatown come up very excited about the new subway station. Its really exciting. But theyre not excited when they hear about the potential for naming the subway station after rose pak. They consider her to be the equivalent of like the commonest party bully. If you do a Google Search for images online you will see pictures of her with a pack smoking a cigar like a gangster and many of these people in chinatown feel like this is the kind of person they left behind in china. So thats the same image that her wrists they come to San Francisco they see someone saying that it is a who is this. They will go look up on google and thats what they are going to see. So for these reasons thats why i think we should name the subway station after chinatown not after any particular person. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. [calling Public Comment cards] good afternoon. Good afternoon supervised. My name is [inaudible] im here to talk about my own spirit is a practicing following gong in my opinion of naming the subway station after rose pak. All my family is practiced following gong and we were benefit greatly from it we become very healthy and positive. My husband has 2 and phd. He was it [inaudible] with lecture and university in china because he shares his own expense of practicing following gong to his students he was forced to abandon his belief of following gong. He did not give up but he [ina felt a lot of pressure a harassment. He had to resign his job and look abroad we start his life. My motherinlaw also practice Common Ground and was also locked up due to her beliefs. For three times. She was brutally treated and spiritually tortured even though she still [inaudible] so the persecution of following gong practitioners called cause use disaster and hurt from chinese and my Family Experience is only one. One example among the millions of practitioners in china. This persecution has already excited a boycott. However, those that supported the brutal and antihuman persecution in china and the try to explore this prosecution to the us. So here in San Francisco name of station after rows back i do not think that will be an honor in will be a shame. It will start a very bad example for the public. So please do not name the station after rose pat. Thank you thank you. Next speaker, please. R [calling Public Comment cards] good afternoon baking for this opportunity to speak minus Michael Mccarthy about event resident and history teacher at local state academy of the arts. Im also up on gong practitioner for eight years. Im here to speak with you in regards the naming of the Central Station in chinatown from sun. Weight chinatown station to send. White rose pak station as you may know the persecution of following gong a peaceful meditation practice based on the principles of truth on this compassion and forbearance is going on in china for 17 years. However the persecution has not been limited to china alone in his seas seeped into American Society along. Rose that was involved in facilitating this persecution and talk to the quest of the chinese consulate. The community of american citizens and following gong practitioners and seriously hurt and betrayed on her is was okay furthermore most actively well but the atrocities that were taking place in china where people have been killed for their organs and sold on the black market. Knowing this, she traveled to china for extended medical state where she received a kidney transplant. She came back claiming that she fully recovered and one wonders why she chose to leave the bay area which has the finest medical technology in the world to china for such an organ transplant. Could you got me working from some other was killed for . I believe its there for people to ask such a question. I sincerely urge you be please do not name the subway station after rose pak. There so many great people that could represent our city in this country. The fed has been a beacon of tolerance and equally. The essays is been a place of refuge for those who been persecuted for their beliefs and believe in, on protecting such rights as freedom of speech rights and husband by naming the subway station after you be bringing a black mark to the city that would cause such great shame and not looked upon favorably by history or the people of the future. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. [calling Public Comment cards] [inaudible] operate at church and market. Additional violations include operations on Church Street a residential street, double parking adjacent to a discontinued white zone and impeding muni and traffic. Genentech and sfo airport dilated a plaque agreement. Sfo airport violation history includes obtaining factors 06002 for display on a vehicle displaying texas license plate k054303. It operated in muni bus owns it on 3 ton restricted neighborhood streets. Sfo airport are operated for your registered vehicles for 77 and 479 during december 2015 without california license plates or a muni packard and operated in muni bus zones. The integrity of the Corporate Community bus program is question. The deal at church and market has been going on but i first noticed on october 12 continue to guide reported it and it continues to this day. I observed it yesterday. Still in violation. I just came from the library reporting it. So evidently, im getting everybodys getting blown off. Theres no integrity in the program. This no discipline in the program. In i suspect that since they were there at a discontinued stop thats been going on since april when you went to the major minor arterial routing. So as a consequence, how come i find all these things in one half square mile. Whats going on in the rest of the city . As far as violations with these vehicles . Thank you and i submit my comments thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. [calling Public Comment cards] good afternoon, sir good afternoon could Board Members. My name is general, business owner. I would also like to address the issue of naming the central subway station after rose pak and express my strong opposition for this proposal. In 2001 i was involved in proposing the city and county resolution to condemn the persecution of following gong in china. Theres a resolution riley came to a vote at the board of supervisors meeting and several of us were there. This is the first time i came across rose pak. During the deliberations before and actually during the voting, she directly lobbied the supervisors are very aggressive and overt manner. Something that was quite surprising to me. She would stand up and walk over to the
