Thank you, supervisor kim. Director reiskin. So that is the item on the consent calendar but fits nicely last thursday was dwarf day and supervisor kim and many other supervisors participated vice chair director brinkman was there as well hopefully many more i know some of you ride to work most days and this was reference to some of the projects were doing like the golden gate so it is a great time that is coming a couple of things we unveiled last thursday were two new viable automatic at that time bike berry roommates between 16th street and 17th street and westbound on Market Street between 9 and 10 compliementsz the eastbound direction also unveiled and a a bic system to roll out more 12 hundred signs citywide over the next two years im not sure it will be much clearer like lanes between 50 and 20 percent ridership on bike to work day a whole bunch of people on Market Street for example, between 8 30 and 9 30 the peek however, the ridership was up 13 plus compared to last year and so thats great during the a. M. Peak the bikes radio 86 percent of private vehicle on Market Street so pretty expressive there and what we talked about at the event was that in 2016 will be starting construction on 22 millions miles of bike lanes a lot of the work in the planning and design by the folks in liveable streets is really come into fruition in terms of the construction thats great and just to remind you from the last bike counts report we present at the the policy and governance last month we completed 23 projects with improving safety and people an increase from enforcement from through 2015 and since 2006 saw one hundred and 80 percent growth in chrysler it remains the faster part of transportation it is great we have a number of projects coming this year including the mosaic and polk and Second Street interpreting construction this year and currently a bike network that spans a lot of miles it great to see that on bike to work day moving uber to van ness as you may know the van ness bus Rapid Transit is a program it is moving forward were actually going to have an item at the next meeting to approve the construction project were getting ready to broub and when you approved the program well start putting into place next San Francisco month so well be doing business bus stop coalition with the work ahead of time to get the patterns in place and 0 coordinate with the construction we are doing some of the consolidation now to the operators and the public can be familiar with the changes before the construction starts which is this summer helps with traffic circulation and other issues during construction and the stops we maintain the ones near where the future center of boarding island will be what well have im not going to read where all the bus stops will be weve done a ton of outreach with regards to the van ness program but doing specifically with regards to the bus stops we will have ambassadors out there and buses and text message and press releases and blogs making sure that no one is precipitated and prepared as has the information kind of the physical step of this project this is been perhaps 20 years in the making were excited to see that coming in terms of the trains i on intersections i may have mentioned allotment weve done a soft launch of double stopping in the system and we have kind of left it in place now as as Ongoing Service in bound to the montgomery for those who for those of you who dont know it allows for a train pulls into the station and already a train there the people on the second train can get off and not be frustrated until the first car clears it is rider amenity we on intersections that would be great and ambassadors to make sure the people understood what is happening but generally the system determines when it hemispheres and it only happens during the commute hours we have a lot of trains and congestion by the way, it is helpful for folks coming to those stations well be leaving that in place available on the out bound side so thats well not use it b there but good to see it is a long history to get into being upgrades one rail on the motorbike loop last december the California Court of appeals listed the construction of the mission bay loop and tomorrow resuming construction on the loop that goes 19th street and illinois and back to third street the construction on those 3 streets met with the stakeholders in the dog patch neighborhoods over the last couple of months to get everyone prepared after the initial evacuation new rails and sidewalks and signals at the intersection of 18th street and i will and the new overhead lines and we repave everything and what this will allow is us to do is to on the busiest portion this is something we wanted to get done in advance the central subway came in r coming in well move to 2 car trains with the t line but you excited to be able to get this project back moving is will be an important part of t service and help in the meantime wanted to update you last as i understand as data breakers a significant event from the transportation stand point there was a lot of good planning lessons if previous years and a lot of activates management

enforcement our communications, everybody in the loop together to actively coordinate with the citys Emergency Operation center and the plans that were adjusted reverberations of previous years plans worked very well and adjustments made on the fly but there were a lot of things we were able to do to get poem transforming p to and from the event were you mother impacted we had a day without collisions great not two ocher on a day with unusual activity was great person with our cameras and other field reporting able to get much better information what was happening on the streets and will be able to use use that information to better refine the service and streamline it and make that more efficient we had a lot of coordination in the events post event work between public works and the Police Department to get the streets reopened we reopened the streets anothers 9 30 in the morning and muni was restored earlier than previous years i want to commend the numerous folks on a sunday to

Good afternoon eileen parks residents doing portions of a letter from the merchants known as pops opposing this was sent to the board of supervisors and read to the installation and handed to mta i quote the terryville merchant continue to have serious conditioners regarding the terryville rapid project those concerns are the loss of muni stops and transit only lanes and replacing the stop signs with traffic signal and relocation of parking onto resident streets the changes in the project its the merchant continue to have serious issues regarding the outreach process both the scope of the puck etch and the member of the General Community not sufficient time for people to understand the impacts of those changes therefore the terryville merchants are strongly urging the board of supervisors to address the unresolved sfmta issues beginning with holding a meeting on the muni matter we believe those have an urgency to void the unpleasant exhibitionists enconcerned by the merchant written by president pops.
