STAFF REPORT for CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 for the MEETING OF: September 14, 2017
STAFF REPORT FOR CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 FOR THE MEETING OF: September 14, 2017 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Adopt rules and regulations for the TJPA’s park on the roof of the transit center, and authorize staff to proceed with requesting proposed amendments to the San Francisco Municipal Code to make TJPA’s park a “park” subject to certain rules and regulations under the Municipal Code. EXPLANATION: The 5.4-acre park and botanical garden on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center (named “Salesforce Park” and referred to herein as “TJPA’s park”) will be a unique open space and amenity in an area of the City with few parks. TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource.

Senate Sign-On Letter Cardin-Cochran Amendment 1549-AARP
2/13/2012 «F1» Dear Senator «Last_Name», We are writing to request your support for the Cardin/Cochran amendment #1549 to MAP- 21, to ensure local access to Transportation Enhancement (TE) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funds. This amendment will ensure the effective implementation of TE and SRTS eligibilities by empowering local governments through suballocation of funds to Tier I metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). In addition, for localities outside of Tier I MPOs, the amendment provides a streamlined administrative structure for a statewide pool set aside for these activities. At the same time, the amendment improves capacity for state departments of transportation (DOTs) to partner with locals. Since 1992, the Transportation Enhancements program has brought tremendous benefits to local communities through improved transportation choice, economic development, historic revitalization, and environmental restoration of the surface transportation system. This program enjoys broad local support in every state. For example, just in one area in Florida, 13 counties, cities and transportation agencies in and around Daytona Beach have passed resolutions supporting federal investment in TE. Local communities also support TE because of the job-creation benefits these projects provide; a recent American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials/Transportation Research Board study found that TE projects create more jobs per dollar than any other type of Federal-aid highway spending. However, a major challenge for state DOTs in implementing this program has been the local-scale orientation of the eligible activities, a non-traditional area for state DOTs. There is limited capacity at the state level for addressing these myriad, sometimes competing, priorities.

Golden Gate Park Weekend Access
Golden Gate Park Transportation Access Report on Weekend Access Conditions, Summer 2006 Revised March 2007 Office of Mayor Gavin Newsom Office of Supervisor Jake McGoldrick Study Commissioned by: Office of Mayor Gavin Newsom, Wade Crowfoot Office of Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, Cassandra Costello Technical Analysis by: San Francisco County Transportation Authority, Zabe Bent & Tilly Chang with review and support from: Municipal Transportation Authority, Jerry Robbins Golden Gate Park Transportation Access Summer 2006 Weekend Access Conditions Page 1 of 8 The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (Authority), in cooperation with the Municipal Transportation Agency’s Department of Parking and Traffic (MTA) managed data collection at Golden Gate Park to examine the differences in park use and access on Saturdays and Sundays. Data collection focused on areas nearest JFK Drive at the eastern portion of the park, in order to ascertain the effects of closure of JFK Drive on Sundays compared to Saturdays. Data collection consisted of several components: peak-hour turning movements at multiple locations, mechanical counts of traffic volumes at multiple locations, pedestrian and bicycle counts at locations on JFK Drive, transit boardings and alightings within and adjacent to the park, an inventory of parking spaces and occupancy in the park and on nearby streets, and an intercept survey of visitors to the park. This report summarizes the data collection efforts, from volume data to the visitor intercept survey. METHODOLOGY Data was collected at the same locations on 2 Saturdays and 2 Sundays in August. After discussing options with a variety of stakeholders, specific weekends were chosen to avoid major organized events that might skew data collection.
