Corridors that are probably just as dangerous but maybe the stats dont necessarily highlight those things, ocean avenue, general nao ef va, alameni and mission, and i know for a fact ocean avenue is pretty dangerous with youre trying to cross there, so im just curious, even though maybe there werent any projects listed in the high priority, if we have projects at all that maybe dont make the 24 or whatever but were actually working on them, we should probably have sort of an appendix for that so people understand that these are not the only 24 projects that we have if possible. That is possible, so we have we made a commitment which we met last year in 2015 and which well meet again in 2016 to improve 13 miles of [inaudible] Network Every year for 10 years, if we continue at that pace, we will abate safety improvement, every single block on the [inaudible] network before 24 24, wed certainly be able to follow up with those locations, its also important that when we talk in the evaluation section about updating the high injury network, we certainly want to take advantage of that exercise the find out these streets that maybe just missed the cut or were perhaps crash sites waiting to happen so were not missing important streets like the ones you mentioned so ill definitely keep an eye on that. Thanks, and i like that you have sort of at the last page slide about talking about legislation and maybe that should be a permanent slide because we are trying to do Different Things locally, and at the state level, i think assemblyman chu and [inaudible], theyre jointly putting something together to address the tour bus issues. Im putting things locally together to maybe improve the situation by regulating tour buses a little bit more, so i think its a good wantoning to let the committee know and let others know, these are other actions were taking that really place well into us trying to get into vision zero. Thank you, any other questions . Did i ask for Public Comments on this yet . No . Public hens on this item . Yes. On item number 4. Good afternoon, commissioners, [inaudible] projects should enforce drivers education of good concentration on driving by eliminating distractions of cell phone, eating and talking to passengers while drives. On one way condition of accidents, hot spots should enforce reduction of speed law to secure Pedestrian Safety. Warning signs for precautions must be posted on street corners on speeding traffic area to have pedestrian and is drivers apart of dangerous traffic accidents, preventive measures should be taken to prevent drinking and drivers, elders should pay extra attention in walking out to street traffic and to [inaudible] with open eyes, thank you. Okay, any other Public Comment . Hello commissioners, im the advocacy of the bicycle coalition, i wanted to note, thank you for your questions, commissioner kim, around on Speed Enforcement, the San Francisco bus location is supportive of, but supervisor campos, we recognize theres a lot of details to be worked out that we use this tool effectively and not regressively to hurt any particular community, this is all about making our streets safer in the end. As it relates to the vision zero priority projects, were really happy to see that engineering continues to be a top priority and its a crucial piece as part of the three es of vision sao er rho, what we would impress upon to do as much as possible, i think one thing thats a little bit different than the original 24 vision zero projects is a lot of thing that is are on this list is things we already knew about, the original 24 vao er row project list was able to create urgency at locations where we knew people were getting hit and killed while picking, walking, driving, so being able to look at those locations and get a quick fix in the ground within a certain time period, in mta time, its pretty fast, so we would encourage the city to be look at these quick fix locations, 13th street eastbound was sorry, westbound that was something that was graelt to be put in and get a protected bike lane on where we knew people were getting hit and being killed during biking, so try to continue to do more and use this vision zero priority project list as a way to increase urgency on delivering on these critical safety projects. Thanks. Okay. Come on up. Good afternoon, commissioners, my name is john alex lull, im the Senior Member of the Pedestrian SafetyAdvisory Committee and i emphasize to you the need to have open dialogue with the state of california caltrans as it particularly relates to lum bard, van ness, segments of south van ness and Mission Street and slo ep boulevard which a segment of it is also a state road, to have dialogue with caltrans relating release of funds and approval particularly for these high injury corridors. Thats a strong component for why i come up to you and my second one to you, norman yee, is to mention the city engaged at the particular request of supervisor mark farrell that the city carry out what was agreed upon two years ago, to redesign several blocks of bay street because the collision of two youths at the intersection of bay and buchanan, the city responded very quickly to do that, it unfortunately took a collision at that intersection for the city sfmta to raoelz realize what had been agreed up, there were nuances that remained in that plan with other city agencies on how to coordinate that. The last point is i recall mayor ga fns executive directive on Pedestrian Safety 1003 released in september, 2010 where he specifically asked for city agencies to Work Together to reduce pedestrian collisions in this city, thank you. Thank you so much. Good afternoon, commissioners, im kathy delucca, the policy and Program Manager with walk San Francisco. First, commissioner kim, i wanted to say that walk San Francisco has been working to form a family for safe street group ins the city and we did get some family members to call state legislators about automated Speed Enforcement so so we try today start that process and well continue working on that so i wanted you to know that, and but what i really want to comment is how upset we are at all of the pedestrians that have been killed so fixer some of the commissioners here attended the memorial that we held for tu phan in february, a memorial for mr. Sun chow law, he was killed at broadway and powell in 2011, too many people are dying on our streets with we need your leadership, youve been vision zero leaders and im going call for you to keep leading the charge. We need your leadership, we know you dont approve projects but you have a lot of influence on projects, you fund safety projects, you influence staff and mta board member and is right now we need your leadership more than ever. We have projects that are getting weakened and we have supervisors that arent standing up for safety in these projects that arent putting safety first, so i urge you the keep being the vision zero leaders you are and make sure that safety never gets compromised out of a project the citys doing. Thank you. Supervisor yee, may i ask a question . Sure. Can i ask a question . Of me . Yeah. First of all, thank you, i know that walk sf is working to get the families, and i know the cause is so important for them to see the causes face to face, what has motivated me even though i support these effort iss meeting the family and friends because it is heart breaking, but second, i did want to ask, you mentioned there were projects that you felt were getting watered down, im curious what some of the priority project that is walk sf that you would like us to focus our attention and support on. I know the one from the district i represent but im not as familiar with the citywide potashes. I dont want to call people out, but this is the priority projects. There are several but one that feels urgent is the el tereval, it is a a high injury corridor, between 2009 and 14, 36 people were hit on the corridor and half of those who were hit were getting on and off the train and thats because the train doesnt have many boarding island to get off, they step off and get on to traffic, they were hit at stops that didnt have boarding islands, its clear theyre keeping people safe, city staff did a great job in creating a project that would keep people safe getting off the train, original project had boarding islands at every stop, great, great safety feature, just a basic safety feature that a Transit System should provide. Unfortunately, the plan has been revised based on pushback from the community, so there wont be boarding islands right now as proposed at every single stop, five of the stops will have a Pilot Project instead, they have paint in a travel lane that says watch out, and i dont think paint is going to keep people safe. We heard from a young man who was almost hit getting off the train last week, a blind gentleman in his 20s, he stepped off the train into moving traffic and he got off the train and there was a car there stopped at the train but the car then started and his cane literally was broken off in the wheel of this car, so we need these islands to keep people safe. Were lucky no ones been killed yet on this corridor, its just a matter of time. Weve been pushing hardworking with staff and working with our members and working with everyone we can to make sure this project has robust safety features because the boarding islands shouldnt be up for xomz compromise, its a basic safety feature, to say we shouldnt have a place for people to step into safety doesnt seem like were putting people first. So, thats the big one thats on my mind right now. I read about that, so i think this was in conflict with many of the Small Businesses were worried about losing parking spots. Sxfrjts the great thing about the plan the city came up with is unlike a lot of times, parking does just go away in the compromise for safety and thats i think appropriate, but in this case, the city has been able to find parking spots for everyone thats moved off of teraval, theyre replacing them with other locations so theres no loss of parking, its just a relocation, its a good situation for everybody involved because everybodys getting to keep something, but its not being seen that way unfortunately. Thank you. Thanks. Good afternoon, commissioners, my name is [inaudible] im an organizer at the San Francisco bicycle coalition, i wanted to echo our advocacy directors helots and expand on our members desire to see these vision vao er row priority projects implemented on schedule and wherever possible expedited, to highlight a few of these projects and also to piggy back a little bit on the previous comments, we really want these projects to address the needs of the communities where theyre being implemented. I bring the example of the polk street skaip project, a project we felt did not go far enough in addressing the needs of the Community DespiteStrong Community support for a lot of these issues, similarly we also see projects delayed time and time again such as the pa trer row Streetscape Project which was approved in 2013 and is not scheduled to be completed until nearly 2018, that is a project that is desperately needed by the community in front of San Franciscos public hospital, we need to reflect people in San Francisco. Any other Public Comments . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. I have a question, two of them when you started mentioning about the el teraval, im wondering if were in the same situation where some of the situations along the [inaudible] juda line, does anybody know. Because theres quite a few places where they dont have islands there too. So i can give you what and it will be an incomplete answer, many of the stops have the boarding islands, particularly those close to the inner sun set, on the old teraval, the traffic move tos the right of the train, that ones different and theres an opportunity where we can bulb out the sidewalk close enough to the track to form kind of a boarding island configuration, so some of the safety issues of passengers boarding the trains on the street are present there, but the streets designed a little differently, so its not as acute and theres not certainly the crash history we have on teraval. Im more familiar with where does it start. In the lower number avenues along irving, there arent any, im curious, can we find out some data, whether anybodys getting hit or anything . Yes, we can definitely follow up on that. Okay, thank you very much. Supervisor kim, are you seeing no other further question, can we have a motion its an information item. No motion needed, thank you very much. Mr. Clerk, can i have the next item. Were going the call item 6, update on the sfmtas safe Driver Training programs, this is an information item. So, were going to call item 6 first before item 5 because there was a request to do that and theres some people in the audience that needs to leave, so come on up. Thank you very much, don nox wuf with the sfmta, a team of us are here to provide an overview of our agencys efforts to ensure that are employee and is the people who do work for our agency are provided with ongoing training updated every year for driving safely around vulnerable road users. Today im joined by three other colleagues who can discuss a number of the initiatives and policies related to nonrevenue vehicles, those vehicles that are city vehicles, the vehicles that are not bringing revenue to the agency, taxis and our muni buses and trains. So, lets see. There we go. Alright. So, initially, as im sure you are aware, funded by prop k, we have developed a nonrevenue passenger vehicle training video, this is something that we put together as we were developing the large Vehicle Safety video. We realized that while we were doing the filming, a lot of the messaging we were providing to people who drive truck and is large vehicles in San Francisco is the same for folks who drive taxis, who drive cars, we hear from drivers a lot that the changing environment in San Francisco streets, the green paint, the new protected like lanes are confusing to people, and so the team that worked on developing those videos went out and they filmed every scene three times, once with a truck, once with a taxi and once with a passenger vehicle and in january, we finalized that vehicle, we have put it up on you tube and we will be integrating that into sfmtas biannual defensive driving training that is required for anybody who uses an agency car, department car, and we are also working at the same time as a part of that same prop k funneled program with the department of environment who does a lot of employee outreach throughout the city to put together in the next three months an Encouragement Program to get employees throughout the city whether or not they use city cars and city vehicles to watch the video. We really are trying to act on one of the communication goal that is we have identified before to use the tens of thousands of City Employees that we have as best practice citizens, etc. , so this video joins the large vehicle video which is available in english and translated online in chinese and spanish and the taxi vehicle, we are currently working on a version of this video that is specific to paratransit drivers who are large vehicle drivers that have many of the same passenger loading and unloading issues that taxis are and its been requested by our paratransit programs, so were working with them to develop that program we hope sometime this sum tore have that available and the paratransit operators are excite and had have already agreed to provide that. We are working in discussions with the Mayors Office on disability looking at opportunities for developing some specific training materials about driving safely around seniors and people with disabilities. At this time, i would like to invite Jerrold Williams who is the manager of safety and talk about our defensive driving program. Good afternoon, commissioners, a little about the Driver Safety program, its a computer based program, 45 minutes, we currently had about 1500 employees has completed it. Its for all sfmta nonrevenue drivers, and it covers basic city driving skills. The goal is for employees to take this training, as john said, every two years, which will incorporate the urban driving safety video. We also have a remedial Training Program which is a Classroom Program which is for those drivers that supervises the necessary training which from exhibiting unsafe acts or practices, or points, each of the police or in the pool program and the pool Program Allows an agency to have an overview of those employees that may have had traffic points taken or added to their license so we give them remedial training before they could get behind the wheel of a muni nonrevenue vehicle, and they also have the program, the Telematics Program that will give the agency the overview to see if employees are speeding, its hard breaking those bad habits which we can also identify those employees and get them in there for remedial training. Thank you. John, im sorry, maybe i was somehow dozing off or something, so these are for the nonbuses . Yes, correct. Er these are for employees like myself who may need to use an sfmta car to a place thats not easily reached. Thank you. We have two more speakers, i was going to ask chair yee if you would like to take questions about the video and the nonrevenue while mr. Williams and i are up here or if you would like to hear from the taxis and muni and ask questions for t
