there are signs letting everyone know the prominad is not just for pedestrians. >> is that a good idea? >> i think it's best if you just have beds. there's a bike path right there. electronic vehicles should not be operated on the prominad. that's my opinion. here's another. >> you figure out how to walk. you see people coming and going. you quick get off the street. >> helping to sort all this out is a senior plan we are the san francisco municipal transportation agency. indicationy hilton. >> the issues that we are currently grappling with, they're not issues we thought we would be grappling with when we started this project. >> four years ago the port and various city departments started working on a plan only to be upset when uber andpassengers. new vehicle types took to the prominad and visits to the waterfro waterfront exploded to 24 million a year. >> any kind of vehicle goes slow enough to keep our pedestrians

many people are going to want to come for anything. >> supervisor matt haney, i appreciate you coming here today. three days into this job. >> thank you. >> back to you. >> jumping right in. thank you, michael. next week we'll explore all the challenges our local teachers face and search for solutions. watch abc 7 news building a better bay area teacher crisis starting monday. fly or drive? which way is faster? with those options head-to-head this morning in our latest abc 7 commute challenge from san francisco to lake tahoe, who makes it there first? >> sure, we heard about package thefts. this one is
