The $500 million investment will make Muni less crowded and more reliable and improve safety for everyone getting around San Francisco. The Bond is the first component of a long-term plan developed by the Mayor’s Transportation Task Force in 2013 to raise up to $3 billion by 2030 to improve and enhance the City’s existing transportation system and expand it for the future. The benefits of the Bond will be felt in every San Francisco neighborhood and will move the City toward Vision Zero, the City’s commitment to eliminate traffic deaths by 2024. Since the March 2018 Quarterly Report to the Citizen’s General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee, SFMTA, along with our partners at Public Works and Caltrain, have continued to advance the projects funded by the first and second issuances, as well as those we anticipate to fund with future issuances. Major milestones have been achieved towards the implementation of the Muni Forward Rapid Network Improvements projects, Pedestrian Safety Improvements projects, Caltrain Upgrades and the Better Market Street project. Project milestones are discussed in the Accomplishments section. Further, in February 2018, the Mayor signed an ordinance appropriating $177,000,000 of proceeds from general obligation bonds, marking the second issuance of the San Francisco Transportation and Road Improvement General Obligation Bond. The sale of these general obligation bonds occurred in March 2018 with delivery of the proceeds in April 2018. Due to the City’s transition to a new financial system, official expenditures remain unavailable, however this Q4 Report provides estimated expenditures through June 30, 2018. Project status reports are also through June 30, 2018. San Franciscans can track progress on the projects and programs supported by these funds at cgoboc.sfgov.org. All detailed reports to the Citizen’s General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee are publicly available there as well. 1 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement GO Bond September 2018, Q4 Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Report PROGRESS REPORT This report covers project progress through the end of June 2018 and financial updates on expenditures also through the end of June 2018. Since the first sale, SFMTA staff has initiated new Bond-funded projects and continued to advance projects that were already active. In addition, the second issuance of Bonds was approved in February 2018 with delivery in April 2018. $500 Million Bond: Uses of Funds To Date ($ in Millions) $3.7 Cost of Issuance Remaining to be and Fees Appropriated $243.0 $253.3 Balance of Appropriated Funds for Projects 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 In addition to the updates found in this report, further information can be found at cgoboc.sfgov.org. The website provides a listing of funded and planned projects, as well as links to pages with detailed project information. 2 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement GO Bond September 2018, Q4 Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Report HIGHLIGHTS Projects Ready for Public Use Substantial completion for the 5 Fulton: East of 6th Ave Transit Priority Project was achieved on March 9, 2018. Traffic signals at McAllister and Broderick have been activated. The traffic circle at McAllister and Lyon was also completed. The project implemented various enhancements throughout the corridor for the 5R Fulton which is a Rapid Network route and an important connector between the Richmond District and downtown. The 9 San Bruno Rapid Project (11th Street and Bayshore Boulevard) finished construction in April 2017. This project included several transit bulbs and transit islands to improve Muni reliability and make it easier and safer for people to get on and off the bus. The project also advances SFMTA’s Muni Service Equity Strategy, especially for residents of Visitation Valley, who rely heavily on this route. The 8th & Market Street Transit Boarding Island has been opened to the public. This project’s purpose was to create a safer bicycling environment in one of the city’s busiest cycling intersections. It includes two-stage turn boxes, green pavement parking and a transit boarding design that separates the bicyclists from traffic which results in the cyclists not weaving through traffic. 10 Townsend: Sansome Contraflow Signals: Muni service commenced on the new contraflow lane on August 13, 2016 to give Muni riders a more direct, faster and reliable trip on Sansome Street for the 10 Townsend and 12 Folsom/Pacific routes. The previous route traveled an indirect path, resulting in longer travel time and less reliability. This was one of the first Muni Forward projects to be funded with the 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement GO Bond. Islais Creek Facility Phase II achieved substantial completion on May 4, 2018 and opened on June 15, 2018. The facility is an 8.3 acre bus maintenance yard located at the convergence of the Bayview, Dogpatch and Potrero Hill neighborhoods adjacent to I-280, Cesar Chavez, and Indiana Streets. The facility can accommodate both 40-foot and 60-foot hybrid buses – keeping them clean, in good working order and on the road moving San Franciscans and visitors. Along with creating space to house Muni’s growing fleet of environmentally-friendly hybrid motor coaches, the facility is modern and energy efficient and will house a full operator, dispatch, and maintenance staff. Additionally, neighborhood amenities beautify the area and add an important meeting space that embraces the needs of the neighborhood. Mission Street & Trumbull Street Intersection Upgrade reached substantial completion in August 2017. Improvements include realigning Trumbull Street to allow more conventional vehicular turns, pedestrian bulb-outs to improve safety and roadway repaving. Benefits for pedestrians include shorter crossing distances and better visibility. The new design will also slow down vehicular traffic along Trumbull Street. Signals have been activated and work is complete for Potrero Avenue Roadway Improvements project. This project constructed traffic signal modifications at twelve intersections on Potrero Avenue between 17th Street and 25th Street. 3 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement GO Bond September 2018, Q4 Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Report Projects in Construction The 14 Mission: Mission & S Van Ness Transit Priority Project is continuing with utility potholing for existing utilities and with duct bank work related to the Van Ness Project. The project team is also coordinating with the 30 Otis development construction. When complete the project will enhance the safety of the intersection at Mission St. and South Van Ness Ave. for people walking and biking and improve reliability for Muni riders. The 30 Stockton: East of Van Ness Ave Transit Priority Project has completed the transit island at North Point/Polk St. and the facility is now open for public use. The remainder of the project is still under construction. For the 30 Stockton Transit Priority Project (Chestnut St) Project a significant portion of the project scope has been completed, including overhead catenary system (OCS) work, with the exception of some remaining work at the Fillmore intersection. For the Add Pedestrian Countdown Signals on High Injury Corridors project, 2% of the construction is complete. This project will upgrade traffic signals at fifteen locations so that Pedestrian Countdown Signals (PCS) can be added on WalkFirst Pedestrian High Injury Corridors. Burke Facility Renovation is expected to reach substantial completion in November 2018. Notice to proceed (NTP) for the first construction manager/general contractor trade packages was issued in January 2018 and the project is in active construction. On the Caltrain Communications-Based Overlay Signal System Positive Train Control Project (CBOSS-PTC) project, installations and testing of on board equipment has begun. This project will install a system that tracks train locations and prevents unsafe train movements. Substantial completion

    DRAFT MINUTES San Francisco County Transportation Authority Tuesday, November 17, 2020 1. Roll Call Chair Peskin called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m. Present at Roll Call: Commissioners Fewer, Haney, Mandelman, Preston, Peskin, Ronen, Safai, Stefani, Walton and Yee (10) Absent at Roll Call: Commissioner Mar (entered during Item 2) (1) 2. Chair’s Report – INFORMATION Chair Peskin reported that in addition to helping elect President-elect Biden and Vice- President-elect Harris, San Francisco voters looked favorably on transportation funding measures on November 3rd. He added that locally, San Francisco approved Proposition A, the Health and Homelessness, Parks and Streets Bond. He said that this $487.5 million general obligation bond included $41.5 million to repave and reconstruct roads, rehabilitate, and make seismic improvements to street structures and plazas and to install and renovate curb ramps. He said that there are also funds for re-building parks and open spaces, including safe pedestrian access across the city. Chair Peskin reported that regionally, voters in San Francisco along with all three Caltrain district counties, including Santa Clara and San Mateo, passed Measure RR by over 2/3 approval which is the threshold for the first-ever dedicated funding source for Caltrain. He added that the one-eighth cent sales tax for Caltrain will provide a lifeline to the railroad which is struggling with severe fare revenue loss associated with low levels of ridership during the pandemic. He shared that the funds will also help off-set SFMTA’s obligations to provide operating support, benefitting Muni. He added that the funds will provide a way to build toward Caltrain’s future as an electrified service.
