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 May 2017 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 issuance, 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. San Franciscans can track progress on the projects and programs supported by these funds at sftransportation2030.com/progress. 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 June 2017, Q4 Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Report PROGRESS REPORT This report covers project progress and financial updates on expenditures through the end of June 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. The 9 San Bruno is a key route for residents of Visitation Valley, one of seven neighborhoods identified for focused improvements through the Service Equity Strategy due to its higher than average concentration of households with low income, higher than average concentration of people of color, household density, and lower than average vehicle ownership rates. 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. Projects Moving into Construction in Quarter Four The 30 Stockton Transit Priority Project (Chestnut Street) and 5 Fulton: East of 6th Avenue Transit Priority Project both began construction. These projects will improve transit reliability and enhance safety and accessibility. The N Judah: Arguello to 9th Avenue Rapid project construction contract was awarded, and construction is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2017. This project will improve transit reliability on the N Judah, the highest ridership line in the Muni Metro network. The Upper Haight segment of the 7 Haight-Noriega: Haight Street Transit Priority Project has completed design and is scheduled to advertise its construction contract in the fall of 2017. The 22 Fillmore: 22 Fillmore Extension to Mission Bay project is finalizing its design package and is scheduled to advertise its construction contract by the end of 2017. Other Quarter Four Milestones L Taraval Rapid Project Early Implementation: Completed and sent out the 65% detailed design plans, receiving comments back in June. The team worked on identifying utility conflicts from Sunset Blvd. to 19th Ave. L Taraval Street tree evaluation was received from San Francisco Public Works (SFPW) and the development of an outreach plan is in progress. Construction on the early implementation and pilot of the L Taraval improvements is ongoing and will be completed in October. After the pilot, SFMTA will hold a stakeholder meeting with the community to finalize the landscape concept. 3 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement GO Bond June 2017, Q4 Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Report Geary Pedestrian Improvements Project received approval from the SFMTA Board in July 2017 to certify the Environmental Impact Report and select the Locally Preferred Alternative. Preparation for full SFMTA-led public outreach is underway. Better Market Street Project: Consensus was reached by the City’s Planning, Public Works and Transportation agency directors on a sidewalk level cycle track design. Engineering and environmental work continues to advance. CHANGES Project Schedule Change N Judah Transit Priority Project (Arguello to 9th Ave): The project schedule was updated to reflect the new start of construction date in fall 2017. 30 Stockton: East of Van Ness Ave Transit Priority Project: Due to unforeseen underground conditions, water utility work has extended construction by one quarter. 14 Mission: Mission & South Van Ness Transit Priority Project: Construction end date has been moved out by six months, due to coordination with the Van Ness BRT project and negotiations with the contractor that took longer than anticipated. Caltrain Communications-Based Overlay Signal System Positive Train Control Project (CBOSS-PTC): In February 2017 Caltrain terminated its contract with the firm responsible for designing and implementing the project. Caltrain is working to execute short term contracts with sub-contractors to continue development of sub-systems and to hire a systems integrator to complete the project. The project’s schedule has been extended by 15 months to reflect the new delivery timeline. Mission Street & Trumbull Street Intersection Upgrade: The project is nearing completion and is one quarter ahead of schedule. The concrete and curb work is substantially complete with and the project is only awaiting the delivery of traffic signal equipment. Better Market Street: Directors reached consensus on a sidewalk-level cycle track design and have prioritized the project to expedite construction. The project schedule has been adjusted accordingly. Allocation Adjustments Overall adjustments to the amount of bond funding allocated to each individual bond funded project are made on an as-needed basis in response to current project delivery schedules and cash flow forecasts. 4 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement GO Bond June 2017, Q4 Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Report UPCOMING Supplemental Appropriation In late June 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved an Ordinance to re-appropriate $26,200,000 of the 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement General Obligation Bond Series 2015B
