Supervisor Farrell’s office has recently been confronted with constituent concerns relating to the conditions of the SFMTA MUNI fleet. As public transportation is an integral part of the San Francisco community, the Supervisor requests that the SFMTA report back regarding the overall condition of San Francisco’s transit vehicles. One of the concerns is a lack of nylon holding straps and rails on MUNI transit vehicles, making it difficult to hold on during transit, thus, increasing the risk of injury. While this is merely an example of a current safety concern, simple issues such as this are especially problematic for seniors and disabled individuals. What steps are being taken by the SFMTA to ensure the safety of seniors, disabled individuals, and the general public while the riders are in transit? What procedures are in place to replace nylon straps on the MUNI transit vehicles when they deteriorate, or fall off completely? Additionally, is there a project timeline in place where constituents can expect these repairs to be made? Are there any other impending safety changes on MUNI expected? Furthermore, please describe MUNI’s process of repair? How long does it typically take to remedy safety concerns and what is the general procedure involved? The goal is to ensure that those riding MUNI, particularly seniors and disabled individuals, have the ability to benefit from San Francisco’s public transit without jeopardizing their safety. In Memoriams Dr. Arlene Ackerman - Full Board Norman John Borchman - Supervisor Yee ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Board adjourned at the hour of 4:46 p.m. N.B. The Minutes of this meeting set forth all actions taken by the Board of Supervisors on the matters stated, but not necessarily the chronological sequence in which the matters were taken up.

The content is neither generated by, nor subject to approval or verification of accuracy by, the Clerk of the Board or the Board of Supervisors. Ray Hartz submitted the following additional information during Public Comment as follows: This Board of Supervisors attitude toward public participation in government is such that I have no problem whatsoever in labeling it "openly Hostile!" Look at the scheduling of public comment. In January, at one meeting, it took four hours for the public to get a chance to speak. At a second meeting, in the same month, public comment came after one hour. So, members of the public who wish to speak to you have to make a minimum half day commitment. People should also notice that you place public comment after commendations. We wouldn't want all those "nice people" to be here while "dissenting opinions" are expressed. And then there are those restrictions you place on constitutionally protected free speech! At no time in the handling of any matter do members of the public get to speak meaningfully to this full BOS regarding any matter before you take final action.
