The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes per Supervisor. 1. Mr. Mayor, last year San Francisco passed groundbreaking legislation that will raise our minimum wage as well as provide predictable scheduling and job retention protections for part-time and on-call chain store workers. In order for these new rights to have any impact we need to ensure that our ability to enforce these laws is sufficient. This means that staffing levels at the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement have to be increased but it also means that we need to fund community based organizations that can supplement our ability to reach out to workers who may be reticent to claim their rights. Can we count on your office to fund for these critical needs through our upcoming budget process? (Supervisor Mar, District 1) 2. Mr. Mayor, Current plans for the Central Subway will end the T Line at Chinatown. That will leave Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach, Russian and Telegraph Hills and north Chinatown with only the current surface transit service and without transfer opportunities for bus lines serving neighborhoods to the West. Last fall’s report by the San Francisco County Transit Authority, the San Francisco Municipal Transit Authority, and the San Francisco Planning Department provide compelling evidence of the need to continue the Central Subway to Fisherman’s Wharf. By extending the subway just two more stops, ridership is projected to increase on the T Line from 74,000 folks per day, to 115,000 per day. This is a significant increase in ridership, providing added pedestrian safety to the surface streets by reducing pedestrian and vehicle traffic through some of our heaviest thoroughfares in some of our most dense neighborhoods in the City. Extending the Central Subway will cut the commute time between Moscone Center and Fisherman’s Wharf in half. 8,400 people work in Fisherman’s Wharf on any given day, and nearly 200 jobs in Fisherman’s Wharf went unfilled at the end of last year because of the current commute to the northeast neighborhood. These numbers don’t include the millions of visitors per year reported by our visitor’s centers, and convention and travel organizations. Considering the compelling data, and enthusiastic support from residents, what can the City do to signal its seriousness in moving forward with extending our Central Subway and T-Line? (Supervisor Christensen, District 3) Mayor Edwin Lee addressed the Board of Supervisors and discussed the above referenced questions. Following public comment this matter was filed. No further action was taken.
