Votes at a glance: SFCTA approves minutes, appoints CAC representative and green-lights administrative contracts and Prop L allocations
Summary
At its March 11 meeting the SFCTA approved corrected minutes, appointed a District 11 CAC representative, approved a contract amendment for Yerba Buena Island design, and recorded approvals for multiple Prop L allocations and an IT services contract; several items recorded unanimous or near-unanimous roll calls.
The San Francisco County Transportation Authority handled a slate of administrative and consent actions on March 11, recording approvals on minutes, an appointment and several contract and allocation items.
Minutes: The board approved the Feb. 25, 2025 meeting minutes after a remote caller (Michael Petrella) requested a wording correction about the transcript's wording for downtown traffic congestion versus parking availability; staff agreed to correct the minutes and the motion to approve passed with 10 ayes as recorded in the transcript.
Appointment: The board considered an appointment to the 11-member Community Advisory Committee for District 11. Commissioner Cheyenne Chen nominated a District 11 candidate; the nominee introduced themself remotely and public comment supported the appointment. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the nominee’s name across agenda materials and the live remarks; the official appointment motion was made on the record and seconded, though a roll-call tally for this item is not present in the excerpt.
Contracts and allocations: The board approved a $1.5 million contract amendment with WMH Corporation for design of the left half of the Yerba Buena Island multiuse path (vote recorded 11 ayes). The board also considered and moved forward Prop L allocations totaling $2,000,000 for three requests (Muni Metro stations condition assessment, a Monterey Boulevard pedestrian safety project, and the Embarcadero Mobility Resilience Plan), and approved a two-year, up-to-$600,000 professional services contract award to SPTJ Consulting for network and IT maintenance (the $600,000 figure covers the initial two-year period; extension options exist). Public comment on these items was limited or absent in the transcript excerpt.
